There’s something special about a Gameweek under lights and, even with just four matches to get things underway, there is excitement and expectation in equal measure.

Tonight’s eight teams boast enough Fantasy talent to deliver significant points – not least Harry Kane and Romelu Lukaku, who will doubtless be the top two captain picks on show yet again.

The smart money – and the armbands from active Fantasy managers – are likely to be with the Spurs striker, as Kane revisits the ground where he fired an incredible 31 point return in 2016/17.

His owners will gladly accept a more modest tally this time around, though having scored six of his nine goals on the road this season, double-figures could again be within reach.

Less is expected of Lukaku, who will collide with a Watford defence that has kept back-to-back clean sheets. The Belgian’s form remains a concern, with his recent strike against Newcastle his only goal in the last six Gameweeks.

Elsewhere, the big news from The Hawthorns is that Newcastle United’s goalkeeper, Rob Elliot, has been dropped from Rafa Benitez’s line-up. Priced at 4.0 initially this season, Elliot boasts an ownership of 26.4% who must now turn to their reserve option. For the managers who also own Crystal Palace’s Julian Speroni, there is no reserve option, ensuring they look set to be forced to market ahead of Gameweek 15.

Talking of Palace, news from their “local derby” with Brighton finds Christian Benteke in the starting line-up for the visitors, with cut-price midfielder Ruben Loftus Cheek perhaps moving to a No 10 role to accommodate his return.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

      I bloody hope so. But I doubt it.

      Too much rest?

      Not much
      Only 5 points

      1. Ravager

        True true. Tight ML though. So I'll take any point

    Rose/Aurier have been shocking tonight. Think they would have won with Trippier/Davies

      Agreed..rose has looked off pace after his injury return

        Poch has to take blame for their season, excessive rotation. Completely unnecessary constantly chopping and changing personnel and formation

        1. Ramboros
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 4 months ago

          If anything Alli and Eriksen have played way too much.

          A lot of the players that came in today did well.

          1. @persecuted_by_mods
              8 years, 4 months ago

              In general I mean, always changing. No team in the history of life has done well like that

            You can't say that, he's a genius! Haha

          Eric Dier is the one who needs dropping. Bet Spurs wish theyd took the money in the summer now.

        How many points do you get for winning goal? Trying to work out if Kane will hold on to 2 bonus points?

      • Garlana
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Reckon Kane will keep the 2 baps or likely to drop too much?

        1. Pierce34
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 4 months ago

          He'll be lucky to get 1.

        Who will get the match winning bonus in the Leicester Spurs games? Vardy opened the scoring and Leicester stayed ahead for the remainder of the game, but Mahrez scored second and it ended 2-1 so technically his goal was decisive.
