Looking Back

There were only five Premier League matches last weekend due to a number of FA Cup ties that had to be settled (not all of them were), though there was still a fair amount of action, with Harry Kane bagging a brace in Spurs' 2-0 victory, Bournemouth winning a five-goal thriller against Swansea, which included Max Gradel's first league goal of the season, and Leicester maintaining their five-point advantage over Tottenham by beating Newcastle 1-0.

The biggest disappointment surely came from Manchester City, who were kept scoreless in a draw at Norwich. Fantasy owners who captained Sergio Aguero were left wanting much more after seeing Kane's exploits and Jamie Vardy picking up an assist.

Looking Ahead

There are a number of big matches this weekend, including the Manchester and Tyne-Wear derbies, while Spurs come in as the biggest favorites as they attempt to keep pace with Leicester, who travel to face Crystal Palace.

Swansea are also heavy favorites this weekend, though that's mostly because they are playing Aston Villa and not because they've been some kind of juggernaut lately. And while Gylfi Sigurdsson has been excellent, it's tough to find legitimate fantasy value anywhere else on the team. You can focus on the defenders and goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski for a clean sheet, but they haven't been great defensively either, so that may turn out to be fool's gold.
