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

    Lukaku over Vardy on the WC 2 gameweeks ago was such an error

  6. nkhoughton

    Albrighton dgw essential 😉

  7. Dr. Mantis Toboggan

    I've got Baines...

    Badly needed rule change. Winning a free kick should not be an assist

    1. Zikry
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Neither should a deflected shot but those are the breaks in this game we love to hate

      1. Odikostar
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        True

    2. GREEN IS GOOD
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      I respectfully disagree. Winning a free kick same is similar to winning a penalty. And what do points mean? Prizes!

    Come on Albrighton, get another! 😀

    Oh get stuffed FPL, stupid game.....never enjoyed playing it.

      Rage quitting?
      :again:

    you know. From the "top 7" teams, Mignolet gets a lot of stick, Ospina sometimes (when he plays), but Robles doesn't get nearly enough.
    He was poor was Liverpool too tbh

  15. Rolls-Royce
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Vardy you w*nker

  16. Deulofail
    • 10 Years

    Chose JWP over Albrighton. And to top it all, I sold Snoddy for him.

    1. Odikostar
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Before swansea at home? What a shame

      1. Deulofail
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Figured he was more likely to be benched than start

    2. Mingo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      I did the same, spent ages deciding and went for JWP. Luckily i swapped him for T. Carroll so it wasn't too bad.

  17. Ridcully

    A goal fest is just what us Vardy and Lukaku owners need. Hopefully there will be more to come.

  18. Syd.

  25. Sims
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Mark u shd have a word with fpl about assist from free kicks. I think they are too flukey and u can persuade them

    Do you understand what I'm saying to you right now?

  26. Sess!
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Why are people getting so excited over an assist?

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

      It's only one point less than a goal

      1. Sess!
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Not if you factor in extra bonus for goal

    2. Jazz!
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Don't be a Vardy party pooper

      1. Jazz!
        • 11 Years

  27. martyhan
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Who would you lose first for Kane?

    A. Costa
    B. Vardy
    C. Neither (have Alli and Erickson)

    1. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Vardy

    2. mcrayeps
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Im going with C

  28. Morgs
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Want to find 3.3m to do Defoe to Kane. Where shall I downgrade and to who? Am thinking walker and Siggy to king and sub 4.5ish defender (holgate?)

    Grant, jaku
    Alonso, walker, Baines, brunt, Stephens
    Sanchez, Siggy, Alli, Coutinho, Carroll
    Ibra, Defoe, Lukaku

    Leicester dropped 0 points from winning positions. Not surprising I guess given their remarkable "transformation"
