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.

    SERIOUS QUESTION
    i sold silva for ramsey (yes, right before ramsey injury)

    is it worth jumping on the bandwagon to get silva back, given he'll probably drop off this form when everyone buys him again??????????????????

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

      Nobody knows..

    2. Yozzer
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      If your asking you must want it. Do it don't delay

    3. That Was Easy!
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Silva is a good pick, always has been. Maybe wait until after Spurs

      1. FPL Scoop
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        yeah... him or mahrez as a differential tho

    4. OldBenKenobi
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      You should prob look to change Ramsey anyway. No harm admitting your mistakes and getting Silva back

      1. FPL Scoop
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        i dropped ramsey temporarily for lingard (cheap), if i got back silva i was considering it for richarlison... thoughts?

        1. OldBenKenobi
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 4 months ago

          not for Richarlison!

          1. FPL Scoop
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 4 months ago

            sure? silva is on much better form, and rich appears to be a doubt... why not?

            1. OldBenKenobi
              • 9 Years
              8 years, 4 months ago

              good value. Lingard likely a waste. just my opinion tho. Do it if you really want to

    5. Neevesy
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Man c mids are sharing the points and will probably continue to so. Silva a good option, as is KDB, Sterling, Sane.

  2. OldBenKenobi
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Come on Kane! Think on Shearer's record you could break! You can do it!!!!!

    1. LǝgleSs e|even
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      At least Shearer has a record at Wembley

    • 14 Years

  5. My Name Is Prince
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    I wouldn't buy D.Silva now, there's a reason we didn't have him... Will go silent soon I reckon...

    Yoshida or Tadic goal? Am I blind? Looked like Tadic put it in.

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

      First it appears as Tadic goal in my app. Then chaged to Yoshida

    Why I sold Silva.

    Pep said he was injured.

    Endured 2 price drops. Was facing a 3rd.

    City had United and Spurs in the next 3.

    Why do we play FPL? It just makes me angry most of the time 🙁

    1. Stockport Hatter
      • 9 Years

      You're not alone.

      For the Lulz obviously

    5. SUPERMAN
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Why didn't you captain Kane?

      1. SUPERMAN
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        *did

      Karma for the Kane scaremongering!

      1. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        There was legitimate logic behind what I was saying. Kane could still come off early.

    7. Leonard hatred

  15. diesel001
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    I thought Aguero might get his form back in this game. But maybe not.

  16. HuttonDressedasLahm
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Free hit failure
