After Zlatan Ibrahimovic delivered a goal and assist for his 29% owners in United’s 3-0 stroll at the Stadium of Light, we now make our way to Goodison Park as two of the most in-form frontmen in the top-flight go head-to-head.

Everton’s Romelu Lukaku looks to score for the seventh successive home match, having struck ten times in the previous six in front of his own supporters.

Over 10% of Fantasy Premier League managers have pinned their captaincy hopes on the Belgian, making him the fourth most popular pick for the Gameweek.

Jamie Vardy rolls up on the back of five goals and a pair of assists in the last five Gameweeks.

Backed by over 16% of FPL managers, the Leicester City frontman faces a tough task against a defence with five clean sheets in their last six home fixtures.

Yet with the Toffees hit hard by injuries and suspension at the back, Craig Shakespeare’s side will fancy their chances of claiming a sixth straight league win since the departure of Claudio Ranieri.

In saying that, it remains to be seen whether the decision to bench Riyad Mahrez will backfire, with the Foxes manager clearly having one eye on the midweek Champions League encounter with Atletico Madrid.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

      This kind of planning hardly works

      1. joersherman
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        no harm in having one surely?

  3. Davido989
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Baines, it'd be nice if you could do something for once.

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years

      Was close midweek - lucky Utd pen stopped the CS.

    2. Jafooli

    Lukaku takes me to 9 starters this week

    1. Jafooli
      • 13 Years

  5. Winks Club

    Should Valencia be transferred out?

    1. I Have No Idea What I'…
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Absolutely not. He won't miss another game now and has a DGW in 2 weeks.

      He was rested for the Europa League and cup game. He's back now.

      1. Jafooli
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Agreed, same with Walker, now way he'll miss GW32 having missed one recently.......

      2. Winks Club
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        OK thanks, was unsure of why he was rotated

    2. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Yes as Mourhino appears to be keeping him for the Europa League

  6. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Just realised that even if Lukaku scores it means basically nothing for rank :/

      1. Bubz
