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.

        1. twoplustwo
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 20 days ago

    3. tm245
      • 14 Years

    4. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    5. NATSTER
      • 15 Years

    6. Clifford☯
      • 9 Years

      Seriously ?

    7. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Awesome sauce!

  15. Judas

    Assist for alexis?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 20 days ago

      Routledge

    2. The Enlightener
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 20 days ago

      Hard to say. Xhaka and a Swan both going for ball. Ball then props itself up after that 50-50 right in line for Sanch volley. Perhaps none given would be understandable.

  16. Lav
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 20 days ago

    Ake not in squad

    Ake + Costa for -4 after the game for me

    1. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 20 days ago

      Already done for -8 yesterday. And glad

  17. Cocky Spaniel Alves
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 20 days ago

    Holebas?!?

    Why no card?¿

    1. Forza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 20 days ago

      Ref captained him.

  18. dcarlito
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 20 days ago

    I hope all those posters going "I'm getting Sanchez out" mid game pressed the trigger... 🙄

    Oh ye of little faith.

  19. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years

    one more alexis, one more my son

  20. The Road Dogg

    57 with 4 to play. WC paying off!

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 20 days ago

    2. Magic Bean
      • 9 Years

      1. The Road Dogg
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 20 days ago

        About 25. Had a dreadful team!

  21. Venom Snake
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 20 days ago

    Put the west ham game on for 8 seconds and Lanzini looks essential already

  22. Hybrid.power
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 20 days ago

    Alonso will probably score today after I transferred him out

    1. Differentiator
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 20 days ago

      I sold. No regrets

  23. Tansey

    Leicester starting XI: Schmeichel, Morgan (c), Huth, Fuchs, Chilwell, Mendy, Drinkwater, Ndidi, Albrighton, Musa, Vardy.
    Subs: Zieler, Simpson, Wasilewski, King, Gray, Kapustka, Okazaki.

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 20 days ago

      Ndidi interesting - ot for FPL, but impact on Leicester

  24. Lecky Legs FC
    • 10 Years
