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

    For 80% of the game, he really is Romelu Donkeyaku

    1. Viper
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      For the other 20% he's racking up points

      This is so racist. You're disgusting.

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

        Out of all the things you could've called him.

        Actually, you thinking it racist makes you the racist.

    Does fantasy football fix work perfectly for everyone else?

    Everytime I reload my squad, I can't log back in. I actually end up having to delete the app and then reinstall it. I can't be the only one this is happening to?

    1. Sim Simma

      Use the website instead

      1. Viper
        • 16 Years

    3. Cookie Kid
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      I have same problem. Instead of deleting and reinstalling, just log out and log back in again, that should work!

  3. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    On WC:
    Would you go with Hazard + Zaha permanently or Coutinho + Zaha with possible switch to Sterling/Pedro ??

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

      Coutinho + Zaha

      1. Atimis

    1. Iceball
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Yes, nice 🙂

  7. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Would love it if Garcia wins the Masters 🙂

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

      Rose or Spieth - since I have bet on them 😉

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

      I have money on Fowler but if anyone else is to win I hope its Sergio

    3. Your Mum's Athletic
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      True but 10quid on Rose at the start of the tourney at 20/1 is more important 😉

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

      10 EW on rose at 26/1 for me

  8. We Will Klopp you
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    My captain's armband is not leaving the shoulders' of Kane and Lukaku for the rest of the season.

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

      Almost same - possibly Sanchez in one of his DGWs.

      1. We Will Klopp you
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Gw38 Kane for me and in the earlier weeks than Sanchez could possibly have a dgw Kaku has great fixtures

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

      Even in a dgwk?

      1. We Will Klopp you
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Yup, both have a higher ceiling than Ibra, going Kaku dgw 34

    3. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Who will it be in 33?

      1. We Will Klopp you
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Kane for his hat trick 😉

    4. FPL Pillars
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Kane or Kaku next week?

      1. We Will Klopp you
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Kane, although Kaku has me thinking but you can't pass on Harold vs leaky Bournemouth

    5. Ravager
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Eh...I think it's more upper arm though.

      1. We Will Klopp you
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Valid point but you know what I mean 😉

  9. FPL Pillars
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    How many points does Sanchez get at palace? I need an assist minimum to progress in cup :O need 4 points!

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

      15

      1. FPL Pillars

    who to ditch for Kane , Vardy or Costa ?

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

      Vardy more explosive but Costa consistent. I'd edge keeping Costa until the league is won.

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

    Kun & Pedro > Kane & Zaha no hits.

    Yay or Nay?

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

    Thought a on this wc team please?

    Heaton jaku
    Bailly yoshia Alonso holgate Davies
    Hazard Sanchez Ali sane zaha
    Ibra Kane lukaku

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

      Very nice

    2. JogaSemmedo
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Valdes over Heaton and looks good.

    3. Iceball
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Nice, maybe Valdes in goal for DGW

    9. @fpl_phenom

  13. jackhammer1
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Bottomed

    Have Davies, AllI and Erik... current front 2 of Ibra and Aguero.

    A. Get kane in for Aguero. -4 (mustafI for Davies as the make way)
    B. Lukaku in for Aguero. Free transfer

    What do you reckon??

  14. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Arsenal currently 6th - what cup is that?

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years

      Europa

      1. Jafooli
        • 14 Years

        Sort meant trophy, in Wenger parlance....

  15. JustPark

  16. Lingardium Leviosa.
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Siggy >Firmino/Coutinho

    Aguero> Kane?

    2Fts

  17. JÆKS ⭐
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Still think Lukaku to Ibra will be worth it in gw 34.

    Everton plays Chelsea in 35 where Ibra plays Swansea, can get Lukaku back on wc in 36

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

      If you're happy to use a transfer that way and have nothing better to do

      1. JÆKS ⭐
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Away game in 34 for Everton, mostly a strong home team this season.

    2. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Sounds like you're trying to convince yourself.

      1. JÆKS ⭐
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        I'm pretty sure on it, let's say for 90% 😀 But seen it a couple of times that it is not worth it anymore after the 2 goals today

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

          you will lose a lot of money on lukaku and zlatan more only play one game anyway

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

            **might**

        2. Epic Fail
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          I wouldn't let today's game come into consideration tbh. We know he can haul against teams like this, but that's the risk.

          I'd try and find another way to get Ibra if I could, but out of the 2 I'd go for Ibra.

    https://fantasy.premierleague.com/a/team/1056455/event/32 Odd time to bench boost for such a highly-ranked player...

    3. Lav
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Anyone else captain Alli over Rom?

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

        No one probably.

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

        Yep

      3. The Overthinker

        Sanchez here

      5. FPL Pillars
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Capt Aguero over both.

      6. Epic Fail
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        I doubt it.

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

      Best defender for 5.5?

      Got Spurs, Utd and Chelsea covered.

      1. diesel001
        • 9 Years

    5. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Did anyone take up my Masters tip of Pieters e/w 66/1? Looking like a decent call 🙂

      1. JÆKS ⭐
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        I have no clue what that means 😀

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

        Reckon he will drop back again today. Does not have the scoring power when the wind is down as we saw yesterday and hard to chase at Augusta.

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

        I have Eric Pieters

      1. Guvnor

        I'd do it

      2. Revival
