With Alvaro Morata and, in particular, Eden Hazard delivering in the early encounter, the focus now turns to six afternoon kick-offs and another set of prime Fantasy assets.

Harry Kane is the headline act. He is the most popular Fantasy Premier League (FPL) captain for just the third time this season. Over 857,000 (15.9%) trust the Spurs striker with the armband for his trip to Vicarage Road, the venue for a double-figure return last season. Kane has seven of his ten strikes on the road and, with Watford set to stretch the suffering Spurs defence, this could well be a game of goals.

Mohamed Salah is placed second for armband popularity. Faith in the Liverpool midfielder has gradually increased, particularly after his stunning 23-minute appearance in midweek which produced 13-points and his third double-figure return in four Gameweeks. The Egyptian lines up in another shuffled Liverpool line-up at Brighton, with Sadio Mane again left on the bench by Jurgen Klopp.

Elsewhere, Jamie Vardy – backed by 164,000 new owners – will take on the impressive Burnley defence at the King Power Stadium, a fixture that will doubtless split the Fantasy community.

Sam Allardyce makes his bow as Everton manager at home to Huddersfield Town, while Alan Pardew also takes charge of West Brom for the first time; they host Crystal Palace at The Hawthorns.

Finally, Stoke City face Swansea City at the bet365 Stadium with Tammy Abraham returning to the starting line-up for the visitors. The Chelsea loanee has suffered sales of late but still goes into today’s contest as part of 630,000 (11.7%) squads.

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

    With the lack of certainty around Niasse/DLC is it worth getting a non playing 4.5 striker if you need the funds? The extra 0.5 is the difference between Cedric and Christensen for me

    1. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years

      Niasse will start

        You think. We don't know for sure

    Snow coming next weekend, potentially disrupting fixtures - might be worth bearing in mind for early transfers or spreading risk etc...

    1. JustPark
      • 10 Years

      I'm getting Hazard no compromise!

      Ah that would be a cat amongst the pigeons. Remember a few years ago there were only like two games on, absolutely destroyed my team.

        This is what a Free Hit chip could be perfect for

    Can we expect Brighton doing an Istanbul?

    1. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Not a chance

    2. Norman Conquest
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

    3. Dr Van Nostrand
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Always a chance when Lovren is on the pitch

    4. JustPark

      Silly to ask after that Murray fail.

        8 years, 3 months ago

        I did check the site. Was wondering if someone could explain what happened as heard it was from a corner.

        That ok?

    Lesson learnt today

    Never take a hit for a GK or a Defender

    1. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Utter poppy cock. Gks/Defs can take longer to pay you back so should be viewed long term.

      Took a hit to bring in Kola last week and that turned out fine.

    Think crouch is a great enabler now. Agree. Cheapest playing striker

    1. Pumpkinhead
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Look at his minutes 'playing'

  17. Robben Mee Blind

    Looking forward to activating wildcard and shipping some deadwood but not really sure who to get. So many options!

    Pool goal came just after Murray almost scored

  19. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years

    Firmino essential

    1. Own Goal

      I pray for a mute button. Just for you.

  20. Podge

    That’s a start salah

  21. Stupendous
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    At this point i would happily take an assist from Kane. I can't face another captain fail and not from Kane again.

    Oh the rage transfers.

    45 to go!!! Loads of time!

  22. Rainer

    Woeful Murray miss then Firmino scores up the other end.

  23. GAMBIT

    Salah A

  24. Fred54
    • 11 Years

    Get Salah off the pitch ASAP1

  25. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Captained Kane when he is the worst of all the options, as usual

    1. Norman Conquest
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      same i wanted to do morata but all the hype about him being rested put me off only the strong will prosper

    2. Cok3y5murf
      • 9 Years

      People never learn 😀

    3. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      50-50 between Hazard and Kane.

      Meh.

  26. Hazz

    1. Maddi Son
      • 8 Years

      Fair play. I love him but I lost patience.

  29. Hybrid.power
