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.

  7. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 21 days ago

    Cork OG. Those who said Iwobi scored be prepared for the Wild Rover to attack.

  13. fedolefan
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 21 days ago

    1 week stay for Sanchez in my team. That was so worth all the hassle.

      1. Deulofail
        • 10 Years

    This is what I said during the Bournemouth game.

    "Sanchez being glued to the wing in the last few games is rather worrying. Last goal he got was a freak FK and his team mates have to score Worldies for assists.

    Not ditching yet. Not even slowly moving towards the chopping board.

    But it is an issue."

    He scored 1 second later.

      Then post it again.

  18. That Was Easy!
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 21 days ago

    Week in week out I get my captain wrong. My captain score is like 25% of what it could be at maximum.

    Every time I go with the poll leader he blanks, every time I stray and go with 2/3, he blanks.

    I'm 100k+ down because of my captains, surely the luck will turn?

    1. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 21 days ago

      Are you a member? Do you get the captain sensible article?

      1. Business Cat
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 21 days ago

        I read Captain Sensible, I'm still crap at captain picks.

      2. That Was Easy!
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 21 days ago

        Yes. Read it every week. Always go with a player who is top 2/3 in there. I have 12 blanks from my captain this season.
