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.

  14. Fred54
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 21 days ago

    Dammit, my captain Giroud goes off before 60 mins, could have done with the CS points as I'm on -16 and looked at Kane's price.

    1. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 21 days ago

      Agreed.

    2. Simon Says...
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 21 days ago

      A -16? You took 4 hits and didn't wildcard?

    3. Shultan
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 21 days ago

      Striker doesn't get CS points

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

      Reported for suggesting that a striker can get CS points. This is false information!!!

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

      noob question, does it matter for a striker?

      1. Simon Says...
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 21 days ago

        2 points, not 1 for playing 60. So if you captained him it's 4 points not 2, plus his goal and bonus doubled.

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

      2. Morgs
        • 10 Years

      3. The Enlightener
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 21 days ago

        Yeah. They would only get one point instead of two for making it to 60 mins.
