Saturday’s events continue with five afternoon kick-offs, with Fantasy managers very much focused on events at Wembley Stadium.
That provides the venue as Spurs take on Huddersfield Town, with Harry Kane again sporting the armband for a legion of Fantasy managers.
For a third Gameweek in a row, the Spurs striker loses out to Mohamed Salah in the race to be the most-captained, but he still has the backing of 1.4 million managers, including 38 of the top 100 before today.
Kane will face a Terriers defence that he tormented back in Gameweek 7, when he fired a brace to earn a 13-point return. He goes into the encounter with six goals in his last six Gameweeks.
Meanwhile, Ben Davies goes into the match as the second most signed player ahead of today’s deadline. His 203,000+ new owners will be hoping for instant returns as the left-back bids for a third successive clean sheet and a sixth in nine starts.
Elsewhere, Leicester City’s meeting with Bournemouth perhaps carries the most interest.
Once again Riyad Mahrez and Jamie Vardy will bid to exploit a kind home fixture, having failed to produce for investors against Stoke City in Gameweek 28. The Foxes pair boast over 106,000 new owners ahead of the King Power Stadium clash with the Cherries.
Marko Arnautovic – with 98,000+ new managers on board – was the fifth most popular target ahead of the deadline. He will bid to extend a run of a goal or an assist in eight of his last ten starts when he takes on Swansea City at the Liberty Stadium.
