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.

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

    Benteke is really going to have 0 shots in 90 minutes?

    He is a must sell and I hate myself for not doing it already for a hit.

    1. twoplustwo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 18 days ago

      1. tm245
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 18 days ago

  13. Hakchak
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 18 days ago

    1. Geoff
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 18 days ago

      Not a bad move at all

    2. tm245
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 18 days ago

      Likewise.

  14. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 18 days ago

    One ML rival captained Kane, but also put Rodriguez in for Antonio while drunk last night. Swings and roundabouts.

  15. The Royal Robin

  20. Lav
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 18 days ago

    Just my luck to have Cedric lose cs and have Friend stay on my bench with Holebas coming on.

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

      Aww I'm sorry. I have Cedric, Bertrand and Friend ALL playing so I've lost 2 CS

  21. Deulofail
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 18 days ago

    Swansea goal would be quite nice so Arsenal try harder for a CS when Bellerin plays next week

  22. Hybrid.power
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years

    I'd love a Hazard show tonight

    1. Lav

    2. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 18 days ago

      This with a CS would be ideal.

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 18 days ago

      Palace are obviously dump, can't imagine he gets much service but doesn't help himself

    Costa against hull on next GW

    1. Dr Mantis Toboggan
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 18 days ago

      Wait for news, I'm sure we will know more by next lockout

  29. Dr Mantis Toboggan
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 18 days ago

    In another version of the game with rolling lockout, would you rather double Chelsea defence (Azpi&Luiz) or hedge my bets and play Azpi and PJones?
