With the Spurs assets delivering in the early kick-off, we move our attention to six more encounters to seek out further returns.

Arsenal’s trip to Swansea City undoubtedly provides the key interest, with more than 700,000 (16.5%) FPL managers turning to Alexis Sanchez as their Gameweek 21 captain.

With Olivier Giroud earning more than 350,000 transfers ahead of today’s deadline, it’s fair to say that Fantasy managers will be willing Arsenal to follow Spurs’ lead and produce goals and points aplenty.

Paul Clement’s first home game in charge provides an unwanted x-factor, however. It remains to be seen if he can lift a Swans side that has shipped 23 goals at the Liberty Stadium, the worst home record in the Premier League.

Elsewhere, Sunderland’s Jermain Defoe is heavily backed ahead of a home encounter with Stoke City. Brought in by 266,000 FPL managers ahead of Gameweek 21, more than any other FPL forward, Defoe has returned a goal or an assist in five of his last six Stadium of Light encounters.

Meanwhile, at the KCOM Stadium, a host of mid-price and budget assets go head to head with our focus on the likes of Robert Snodgrass, Junior Stanislas and Charlie Daniels.

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

    As annoyed as I am about not having Kane, I am so happy that Eriksen is delivering constant points.

      Couldn't get Kane in last night as I already have triple Spurs...before it was cool, but the wrong ones!

      Tell me about it.

      1. Ha.
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 18 days ago

        Ok, well basically, I bought him in a couple of weeks ago. First match he didn't play, not even a sub and so I got Holebas -1 off the bench. Then he scored a penalty against Arsenal and now he's not playing again!

        Let me know if you'd like me to elaborate.

    Shock results never happen in the Premier League do they?
    Like the bottom sides beating the top sides

    1. S.Kuqi
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 18 days ago

      No. Quite predictable league

    2. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 18 days ago

      Not very often.

    3. Venom Snake
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 18 days ago

      Not often beating. But there is the odd draw

  11. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
    • 10 Years

    zlatan or Kane??

    1. Painter
      • 11 Years

      Zlat

  12. Somalion

    9 years, 18 days ago

    All this "Chelsea can't win the PL without Costa" rubbish.

    He's in great form, but if he were to leave, Chelsea would f**k money at a replacement.

      F**k money?

      Brasses?

      1. Painter
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 18 days ago

        Chelsea have been f*** ing money for years

    2. Hy liverpool

      Like who ??
      Pelotti may be !!

      1. Somalion
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 18 days ago

        Morata, Griezmann, Cavani et al.

        With the money they'd earn from selling him, they'd be able to afford anyone really.

    3. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 18 days ago

      Lukaku

      1. Somalion
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 18 days ago

        That'd be a laugh

    4. Ógie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 18 days ago

      I thought they would struggle to win it with him
      Without him they will be lucky to get a CL spot

      1. Somalion
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 18 days ago

        This is assuming his replacement does nothing though.

    5. KingNidge
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 18 days ago

      It's getting one of the same calibre and firing in the system half way through a season

      1. Somalion
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 18 days ago

        Plenty of guys out there capable of doing just that imo.

        I've not seen the figure from China for his actual transfer, you'd have to expect it would be massive given other fees. They're in a position to win the PL, they'll easily overpay to get one of the top guys in if they have to.

        1. KingNidge
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 18 days ago

          Who though? what top guys? you are talking one of the best strikers in Europe and in the form of his life who is potentially going to be taken from this side.. you don't just hand pick like for like replacements half way through a season.. end of the season is a different matter

    6. Syd.
      • 16 Years

      Bring Drogba back?

      1. Somalion
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 18 days ago

        3rd time's a charm

    7. Neeskens Under Matip
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 18 days ago

      They did ok in that game without him?

      1. Somalion
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 18 days ago

        They have a squad with a lot of good players who can hold down the fort initially. Then they'll chase up a start striker to replace him would be my thinking.

  13. Painter
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 18 days ago

    Dropping the wild card how's this team look
    Foster jaku
    Baines peters valencia love
    Coutinho Ali Phillips Pedro Sanchez
    Giroud Kane ibra
    Weak at the back and will have a headache with the mid

  14. Venom Snake

    5 players plus captain about to kick off.

    A lot riding on the next couple hours

  16. Bouncebackability
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 18 days ago

    No Spurs here! Good start.

    Tried to be clever and got Ozil in ahead of Eriksen for the next three. Nothing else has worked this season, so not sure what I expect from that. I have three Gunners attackers today so here comes the Swansea cleanie!

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 18 days ago

      Might balance out for you next week. Was always going to be dangerous this week in isolation.

    I never saw The Sun headlines. Anyone know how they covered the Graham Taylor death? With respect? Or in normal Sun fashion?

    1. Cilly Bonnolly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 18 days ago

      With the abuse they gave him when he was England manager, they'd have been wise to keep quiet.
