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

    Thoughts on these transfers?

    Gw 33: Crouch + Aguero --> Negredo + Kane (2FT), bench King
    Gw 34: Lukaku + Siggy --> Ibra + Zaha (-4)

    Do not own any Saints players atm and only Sanchez for the DGW in 35

    Vardy to Big Tom worth a -4?
    other striker is kane

    2. JÆKS ⭐
      • 11 Years

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

        Ml rival has him and will most likely captain lukaku its more damage control tbh

  3. Jimmy Boy
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Everyone in my team who has started has either kept a clean sheet (Goalie and defenders) or scored or assisted

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

      Same, apart from Origi

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

      Nice. Only 2 of my starting players got a return, Kun and Eriksen. But then I only had 7 starters lol

    3. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      not Deeney or Holgate according to your link

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

        Deeney didn't start and Holgate hasn't finished playing. Chill

    4. Jayv807
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Same for me, Pickford at 3pts is my lowest scorer this week.

    5. Sif
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Same, only Valencia not starting

  4. diesel001
    • 9 Years

    Baines to Lukaku

  5. Revival

    Still selling Lukaku GW34 for Benteke mind

    1. Odikostar
      • 11 Years

      Madness

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

      Had Benteke (C) in GW30 two seasons ago when he scored away at Man Utd and got a Hattie at home to QPR, good times 😀

    3. Mark-O
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      West Ham so defensively bad

    4. Pigsinblankets
      • 10 Years

      Kaku alwaaaaays scores against West Ham

  6. Sim Simma

    Jagielka please

    1. Slip it like Stevie
      • 8 Years

      You got lucky

  7. naanda
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    I don't understand why everyone is pining to get Kane when we all have good TOT assets already. Surely not worth hitting for?

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Costa to Kane FT for me

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

        Same here.

      2. karvs155
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        +1

        1. *sigh*
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          +2

      3. HVT
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Same here...

    2. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Davies, Son and Alli for me.

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

      I agree not worth hitting if you have 3 slots filled already

    4. walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Because Kane scores a lot of goals.

    5. nkhoughton
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Alli Kane combo is good, I think Eriksen will be lesser than alli from now on

    6. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Main striker in a free scoring team on penalties ?

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

      Didn't he score like 5 against bournemouth last time?

      1. *sigh*
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        How many points then if captain? *rubs hands*

    8. 1314
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Kane single handedly cut down the point difference between me and my ML leader from perhaps 100+ pts to less than 50 when he didn't own him and I did(and captained him few times)..

    9. The Mandalorian
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Kane will take points off the mids that was obvious

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

        Kaku Kane Kun next GW then Kun to Ibra for GW34

  8. Magic Bean
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Anybody know roughly what Lukaku's ownership is in the top 20K?

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

    How many BPS does a forward get for an assist

    1. MTPockets
        8 years, 10 months ago

        9. Same irregardless of position.

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

          What does that mean?

          1. MTPockets
              8 years, 10 months ago

              All players get 9 for an assist

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

                depending on their position?

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

                    Oh irregardless of their irrespective positions

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

          Nine.

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

          Ask costa, not too many I think

      • FALCAO & MOU
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Did Kun + Anichebe to Kane + Benteke. Front line of Kane Lukaku Benteke. Now if Sanchez doesn't start scoring, Lukaku may become Ibra for DGW.

      • BALOOO
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Need 50 points from Vardy - possible?

        1. *sigh*
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          49 sorry

      • martyhan
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Which should i go with?

        A. Costa and Dann to Kane and Yoshida -4
        B. Vardy and Dann to Kane and holgate -4
        C. Just Dann to yoshida or Gibson cause i have Alli and Erickson
        D. Save ft.

      • mattk lfc
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Don't think I can take out Lukaku or Vardy in this form

      • boc610
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        kaku,who just scored and has a home fixture against Burnely, is going to be ditched in droves for a striker who hit the crossbar

      • Hurricane Gilbert
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        That penalty is never coming for Everton, right? Useless Baines

        1. diesel001
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Agree

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

          Scenes if it does, and Lukaku takes it.

        3. Qubit
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Yep, honestly thought today might be the day. I was clearly wrong. This could finish a basketball score and Baines would have sweet FA

      • Bubz
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Think I'll be getting Benteke in for Origi this week. Facing this Leicester defence at home, then DGW then Burnley at home. For 7.1m you can't really go wrong

        1. *sigh*
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Good spot

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

          Yes got him on my wc with ibra and vardy last week

        3. BALOOO
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Not a popular move but could work 🙂

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

          Wuold also consider if I had a FT. Not worth the risk for a hit

        5. InSaneMan-e
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          That dgw is awful though
          But definitely a better option than negredo and llorente

      • HVT
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Gotta admit 3 big hitters from Luka/Kane/Ibra/Kun look essential now.
        Some may argue Costa.

        1. HVT
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Possibly Vardy too

          1. *sigh*
            • 14 Years
            8 years, 10 months ago

            Eurotation may be the only problem with Vardy but I agree this stage of the season it should be fairly easy to get three big hitters up front without damaging rest of team. I have Vardy/Ibra/Kane.
