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

    Ibra + Davies --> Kane + defender below 4.9 for -4 worth it?
    I have alli and eriksen

    1. Robben Mee Blind
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Wouldn't want to ship Ibra with his double coming up, especially not for a hit. Might as well keep Bavies till Rose is back too

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

        That's what i thought of but ibra and valencia doesnt look appealing to me in GW33. Might keep though thanks for replying 🙂

        1. Robben Mee Blind
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          No worries. Certainly can't blame you for wanting Kane asap- giving me a headache too trying to shoehorn him in!

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

            Yeah he's only owned by 9.4%, his value is gonna increase a lot if he does well. Tough decision to make but shall hold first

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

      Yes

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

      No way.

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

        If i do what i commented below, is it still a no?

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

      I dunno man

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

        Hard aint it. Currently kane is owned by only 9.4%, if he does well against bournemouth, i get both points and value which i might then transfer him back for ibra for gw34.

    5. Bunk Moreland
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      No no no.

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

        If i did what i commented above, is it still a no for you?

  2. Robben Mee Blind
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Tempted by Siggy & Defoe (don't ask!) to Albrighton & Kane for free. Would give me this front 8:

    Sanchez Alli King Albrighton De Roon
    Kane Ibra Lukaku

    Got exactly the right cash but would have to do it tonight with Siggy possibly dropping. Thoughts? ( would play De Roon over Albrighton DGW34)

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

      I like it

      1. Robben Mee Blind
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Cheers for reply Lav

    2. Gnu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Wow, that's exactly the same transfer I'm considering with exact money!!!
      My dilemma is the DGW 34 and when I wildcard.
      As a double transfer it's hard to fault imo but I'm looking at Ibra instead of Kane which means no King either.

      1. Robben Mee Blind
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Ha! Yeah on paper it looks a no brainer but lots of variables to consider. My issue is it'd leave me with 3 cheap mids and 0 ITB and a bit worried about Albrighton being rotated. Would have to rely on De Roon or my bench defenders to step up and one of them is Friend! Also I've already played my WC a while back

        1. Gnu
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          With no WC it's a big decision.
          Zaha might be a consideration with DGW in mind.
          Is Benteke a possible for you?

          1. Robben Mee Blind
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 10 months ago

            Yeah he is. Nearly got him in for Defoe this week but decided to give him one last chance vs Man U. Might still just do that move and wait on Kane

            1. Gnu
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 16 Years
              8 years, 10 months ago

              Good luck.
              When I saw the King/Kane move I thought it looked a no brainer but it does move me off plan for 34.
              In saying that my plan hasn't been pulling in the points the last few gameweeks 🙁

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

    What here people? Have gotten myself into a proper mess.

    Robles
    Valencia Walker Robertson
    Son Alli Sanchez Ayew Siggy
    Defoe Lukaku

    Pickford Carroll Bailly Mawson

    1FT 0.3m itb

    A) Walker to Koscielny
    B) Siggy to Zaha
    C) Defoe to Benteke
    D) Save

    Any other suggestions?

    1. Lav
      • 9 Years

      B

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

        Actually I think I stumbled upon

        Siggy & Walker to Coutinho & Mustafi for a -4.

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

    G2G?

    Pickford
    Alonso, Valencia, Mustafi
    Sanchez, Alli, Eriksen, Siggy, Zaha
    Ibra, Lukaku (c)

    Valdez, Anichibe, Kone, Yoshida

    1. THFC4LIFE

      Yoshida first sub!

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

      King

  5. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Vardy > Kane? Yay or nay? Feels wrong prior to Palace. Other two are Ibra and Luk

    1. Robben Mee Blind
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Yay. Vardy could be next to get rotated after the changes made today

    2. Carlton P
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Yup

    3. It’s gonna Ben Mee

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

      Yay. Getting Kane sooner rather than later looks right. I did Vardy to Kane an hour ago and am enjoying my decision 😉

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

    geez highest scorer this week got 133 with zaha still to go. Triple captained Son wtf lol how did he know

    1. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Think he comes on here

    2. Carlton P
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      He's actually got a good OR too and not just some tool that tries getting highest week scorer

    3. LordRougeGrog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      Anyone else suspect time travel?

  7. Ravager

    GW 33

    Foster (Jaku)
    Alonso Walker Fernandez (Nyom Funes*)
    Sanchez Siggy King Alli (De Roon)
    Kun Lukaku Llorente

    1 FT 0.3 ITB.

    A) Funes > Gibson followed by Kun > Ibra next week?
    B) WC to fix...everything?

    1. Carlton P
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      B, I think from now till end of season you've got more to gain over doing it gw35

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

        Thanks for the reply. That's my issue honestly gauging if it'll be more profitable now or then...

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

    Cant have all three with decent team, who do you choose?

    A. Lukaku
    B. Kane
    C. Ibra

    Leaning towards AB with B becoming C for DGW, then going back to B.

    Thoughts?

    1. George James
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Kane

    2. Carlton P
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Kane Lukaku
      Lukaku > kun gw35
      Might go without ibra gw34

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

        Fair

  9. AYLD28
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Current team:

    Valdes / Pick
    Bertrand / Valencia / Davies / Alonso* / Fabio
    Sanchez / Siggy / Zaha / Eriksen / De Roon
    Aguero / Ibra / Origi

    Are these moves worth a -8!?

    Aguero > Kane
    Origi > Lukaku
    Alonso > Holegate

    Which will give me with the big front 3 of Ibra / Lukaku / Kane without harming my first 11 too much I feel.

    Thoughts?

  10. Junior ⚽
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Pickford (Heaton)
    Valencia / Pieters / Walker (Alonso / Smith)
    Siggy / Sanchez / Alli / King (Carroll)
    Lukaku / Aguero / Carroll
    2FTS 1.3 ITB
    Aguero to Kane surely.
    Should I get rid of any of the following Walker Valencia Siggy?

  11. Foozeball
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Sorry for repost
    Thoughts on transfers?

    GW 33: Costa + Brunt -> Kane + cheap defender (Yoshida? Holgate? Boro's defence is too uncertain) for a -4

    GW 34: Kane -> Ibra

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Yes for GW33. Take it GW by GW.

  12. HuttonDressedasLahm
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Pickford/Grant combo is going to be a tricky pick the next three weeks....
    33. HUL or WHM
    34. swa or mid
    35. WHM or BOU

  13. Bob_the_builder
    • 9 Years

    I've got 2FTs so need to make one this week 1.7 ITB. Any suggestions?

    Thanks

    1. Astronautovic
      • 10 Years

      B or c

    2. Carlton P
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Vardy > Kane easy

  19. andy85wsm
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Ibra and Kane both doing well makes things more tricky.

    Still think I might do Ibra to Kane then Lukaku to Ibra week after.

    Has today changed anyones plans?

    1. Bruno Bruno!!

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

      Got Eriksen and Alli and Ibra and Lukaku. Alli and Eriksen can cover some of Kanes points, Ibra and Lukaku only options from United and Everton.

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

      No I think thats a bad idea and I'm a United fan, Lukaku will score more against West Ham than Ibra will against two teams

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

    Keep

    A) Siggy wat STO
    B) Sane sot MUN

    for next two GW?

    Selling one of them

  21. pundit of punts
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Team is -

    Jakupovic
    Valencia Gibson Davies
    Sanchez Hazard Alli Sigurdsson
    Kane Lukaku Benteke

    Foster Carrick Amat Lenihan

    1.7m itb.

    Maybe Siggy ➡ Zaha?

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

      Wait for the game first and then i would say yes
      I have zaha and siggy

  22. Patio Kev
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Finally into top 1k for first time ever although quite possibly for 1 night only.

    Benching rather than selling my Spurs midfielders in GW28 has been my best decision.

  23. The Red Devil
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Who'd you keep out of the two?
    Valencia or Alonso?

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

      Alonso

    2. Patio Kev
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Alonso for now, more nailed on to start and can bag points even when Chelsea concede.

  24. SheBangsTheDrums
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    What's the consensus on Valencia? Keep or ship? Even with 2 DGWs you'd think it'd be a shock if he played both games in those weeks!

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

      I'd rid for a Spurs defender if you don't already have triple Spurs.

    2. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Why would it be a shock.

      Valencia needed a rest and he got one.

      It's not just about games it's about length of time. He missed two games because they were so close. If the games weeks were one per weekend as usual he would likely have just missed the one and everyone would be happy as they would be sure he would then play the majority (which is what I think will now happen) so it's shouldn't make him a must sell.

  25. Astronautovic
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Best defender for the next three weeks instead of brunt?
    My defenders r alonso davies robertson fernandez
    I have 6.1 for this defender

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

    Would you dare going into next week with defense of
    Alonso Walker Valencia Gibson Amat. 3 blankers this week

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

      All should play except Amat

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

    Thoughts on the following for -4, leaves with 1.3 itb to get sanchez back in for the doubles if need be

    Sanchez to Zaha
    Vardy to Lukaku
    Carroll to Kane

    Siggy > Son (have llorente)

    Free transfer,
    Tnks

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

    With just 1 hit, can field this for GW34. Thoughts?

    Hennessey
    Alonso Valencia Chambers
    Siggy Alli Sanchez Sane
    Benteke Negredo Ibra

    1. Olivier Bernards watch
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      i think it's a bit light in attack and too focused on the dgw's. Do you have money to upgrade negredo?

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

      Get Kane

    3. Speédy
      • 9 Years

      Would keep 2 premium strikers

  30. Torres76
    • 16 Years

    Which one to sell for Kane?

    1. Aguero
    2. Vardy
    3. Kane

    Thanks

    1. Epic Fail
