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

    Sanchez on the verge of dropping, he'd better return tomorrow.

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

      You thinking of getting rid?

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

        Depends on tomorrow. Won't be too happy if he's pushed out wide again.

        8 years, 10 months ago

        kun plays away from home against s'thampton who dont give easy goals atst. mary. also i have sterling as cover. kane against bornemouth looks more explosive

    Best cheap Boro defender ? I have exact money for Baines and Vardy to Kane & Boro def. Is Barragán the best bet or do I go Chambers? Many thanks

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

      Barragan is your man

      1. LordRougeGrog
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Thank you

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

    Pick one:

    1. Hazard + Zaha permanently
    2. Coutinho + Zaha with possible switch to Sterling/Pedro

    Other mids will be Sanchez, Dele and DeRoon.

  7. Bruno Bruno!!
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    what is Sanchez EO?

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

    Some shuffle if you want a front 3 with Lukaku Kane Ibra/Aguero

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

      The cool kids already have at least 2 of those four 😎

      1. Jigger & Pony
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        *3 of those 4

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

          Uh huh. Ibra Kun Kaku here

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

      Indeed, Sanchez looks like a keeper with his DGW ahead. Spurs midfielders feels like a must. Coutinho is on fire. So you'll need a lot of TV to fit that in

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

      Would probably have to sacrifice Sanchez so not for me, 3 is just being greedy, pick 2 and get a cheapie as your third, will give your team better balance.

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

        Cheap 3rd striker hasn't worked this season ever since Austin

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

      My forward line up

      GW32 Kun (C) Benteke Lukaku
      GW33 Kane (C) Benteke Lukaku
      GW34 Kane Benteke Ibra (C)

      Moral of the story is Benteke is life

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

      Will likely be my front 3 with Ibra for -4 this week

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

    Anyone thinking of WC this week? or gw 35/36 still the best time to do it?

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

      Depends on your team
      I'll do it in 35 or 36

    2. The Head-Ake
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      35 is when Ill be doing mine

    3. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      I'll WC gw35/36 but if your team is a mess then I would use the WC

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

      Im on a WC currently

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

    Siggy >Firmino/Coutinho

    Aguero> Kane?

    2Fts.

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

      Yes

    2. The Head-Ake
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Latter first. Wait on first one for others' opinions

  14. Rex Lapis
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Baines Siggy Llorente > Holgate T.Carroll Kane for -4

    Yay or Nay?

    1. The Head-Ake
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Sound moves. Wats your whole team?

    2. Lucky_Z
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      De Roon instead of T.Carroll if possible

  15. TheTinman
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Took 30pts from my ML leader. He has Sanchez captained and I just own him. Hoping for another blank.

    Gutted I captained Kun over Son or Kaku

    1. The Head-Ake
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      I captained Alli. Be happy with what you get

  16. Over Midwicket
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    So early thoughts on GW33 captaincy?

    A) Kane (BOU)
    B) Lukaku (BUR)

    Toughie due to Kane coming back from injury but Spurs will probably score 4 or 5 and he has pens. Burnley are good defensively but Lukaku had ridiculous home form.

    1. andymck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Might just flip a coin.

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

        Yeah not much in it.

    2. The Head-Ake
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      I'd go for Kaku due to his form. Kane could have gotten bad (form-wise) due to injury

    3. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Toughest captaincy choice in while

    4. c10™️ ⚽
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Heaton also is in form

  17. Bruno Bruno!!
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Thoughts on the following for -4

    Sanchez to Walcott
    Carroll to Kane
    Vardy to Lukaku -4

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

      Won't know until tomorrow.

      1. Bruno Bruno!!
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Thanks, been a shocking sunday for me dropping down to 161k according to FFFix, always happens when I have a good saturday i have a crap sunday

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

    Are people still chasing price rises? I've of the opinion that it doesn't matter in the latter stages of the game.

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

      Admittedly I'm still sour after missing out on doing my Aguero > Kane transfer last night

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

      With everyone transferring in the likes of Ibra and Kane money is tighter than ever

  19. F4L
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    70 with Sanchez left, average on here?

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

      59 (pre bonus) Sanchez left

      Screw Walker & Valencia

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

        59. Sanchez left.

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

      Yeah.

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

      I guess, 74 here with Sanchez left, but top10k average is 64.3 so green arrow 🙂

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

      Exactly the same as you. Not great.

      1. Sterling is £11Mill..…
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        How is 74 with sanchez left not great? Thats pretty good....

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

          70 + Sánchez is ok this GW, nothing special. Just above average.

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

      Bang on average I'd say you'll just have a green arrow

    6. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      73 plus sanchez

      1. Sterling is £11Mill..…
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        same

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

    Considering to following for a -8, should I do it?

    Defoe > Kane
    Siggy > King
    Walker > Barragan (will only play the double gameweek in gw34, benched other weeks)

    1. The Head-Ake
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Chambers over Barragan. What I would do is save FT and do these moves next week for a -4

  21. Proietti
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Do we know when the outstanding matches are due to be played?

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

      Not yet

      1. Proietti
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Ok, thanks.

  22. BrutalLogiC
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Grant
    Cahill/Valencia/Davies
    Coutinho/Firminho/Eriksen/Zaha/Sanchez
    Lukaku/Ibra

    Jaku/Holgate/Chambers/Crouch

    I'm doing really poorly this season. Any suggestions for last few games? Only play against one person and we are level with very different teams, only Lukaku/Holgate the same.

  23. For Fuchs Sake
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Will Vardy's assist stay? Flashscores doesn't have him assisting?

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

      Yes he got the freekick

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

      It will stay. Them apps never say they got the assist when he won the FK

      1. For Fuchs Sake
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Aww I see, thanks, I didn't see the context

  24. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Yoshi coming in from my bench again.
    Get in!

  25. Loðbrók
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Toby or Son out for Kane?

  26. Big_Bear
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Sanchez 4.5 points (due to rank) will win my cup game. Down to the wire!

  27. Assisting the assister
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Why does Kun>Kane feel so wrong? Driven by fear of a Kane hat trick I guess - but Kun could easily punish us

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

    So people getting rid of Kun before he faces soton defence with Yosida + Stephens?

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      what makes you think Southampton are a walk over? Aguero won't do much

  29. Oven Glover
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    I need a Benteke brace tomorrow. Wouldn't hurt with a Mustafi red either..

  30. BobBradleysOpportunity
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    16 points today, 3k overall, green or red arrow today?

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

      Red

      1. BobBradleysOpportunity
