After Eden Hazard failed to deliver in Chelsea’s 3-1 win over Huddersfield, eight of the top ten captains in Fantasy Premier League are set to feature over this evening’s seven matches.

All eyes are on Harry Kane as Spurs welcome Brighton to Wembley Stadium – after a weekend home brace against Stoke, he’s the top armband pick for Gameweek 17, with 25.2% of managers handing him the captaincy – his biggest majority of the season so far.

Mohamed Salah is second only to Kane, with 17.8% backing after serving up seven sets of double-digits. Philippe Coutinho and Roberto Firmino are also back on the Liverpool team-sheet, though, after featuring as subs against Everton.

The latter was second only to Kane for transfers in ahead of Tuesday’s deadline – over 197,000 acquired Firmino in the rush to replaced the stricken Alvaro Morata.

Romelu Lukaku, Sergio Aguero and Alexis Sanchez will be hoping that history repeats itself this evening.

Lukaku is toiling for form right now, with a single goal in nine Gameweeks, but scored four at home to tonight’s visitors Bournemouth while at Everton last season.

Aguero, meanwhile, netted twice in Man City’s win at Swansea in 2016/17 – he returns to Pep Guardiola’s XI as Gabriel Jesus takes up bench-warming duties.

Sanchez heads to West Ham, where he ran riot on his way to three goals and an assist in the previous campaign.

Elsewhere, Charlie Austin and Dominic Calvert-Lewin were both subject to significant transfers in ahead of Gameweek 17, with 156,00+ and 172,000+ new owners respectively.

Both have the fixtures to strengthen their claims as budget third strikers.

Austin – with four goals in three starts – hosts a Leicester defence with one away shutout to their name.

Ranked top for points per million, Calvert-Lewin has a goal and three assists in the last four Gameweeks and visits a Newcastle defence that’s conceded an average of three goals per game over their previous five league fixtures.

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

    This season is a JOKE. Sold Silva for Ramsey after weeks of underperforming. Ramsey instantly injured for weeks and Silva gets 3 goals in 2 games. Sold Eriksen for Hazard and he scored right away last week. Meanwhile rivals are getting goals an assists of the bench from players like Okazaki, Doucoure, and Surman.

    1. Licious Lizard
      • 13 Years

  21. Fred54
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    The no Man City policy was working fine until Ota and Silva put a nice run of points together and they started scoring 2+ goals again.

  22. Patch
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Yes.

  23. diesel001
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    The only good news so far is Aguero blanking.

  24. Jam0sh
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Do you think it could be Niasse's turn to start at the weekend? Or just do Niasse -> DCL for a hit?

    1. That Was Easy!
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      I think he'll get a go at the weekend.

        Fair point.

        1. james 101
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          Though I don't own benteke, so hopefully the points total will rise rather than fall.

          1. GreenArrows
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 2 months ago

            Hahaha good one

  27. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    What's more pressing, Morata or Ramsey out? Or both?

  28. LIARS POKER
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    A) Ward, Mustafi -> Christensen, Masuaku (-4)
    B) Ward, Daniels -> Christensen, Ogbonna (-4)

    Would prefer Masuaku but also want Mustafi, if I do A can get Mustafi in a couple of weeks when he's back down to 5.3?
