Another double Gameweek is upon us in a weekend marked by FA Cup semi-finals and remembrance of those lost in the Hillsborough tragedy.

Saturday serves six afternoon encounters as an introduction to tomorrow’s potential title decider at Anfield between Liverpool and City. Fantasy managers will be focused on the double Gameweek assets on show at the Stadium of Light, as a seemingly doomed Sunderland host an Everton side flowing with confidence off the back of six straight wins.

Elsewhere, Palace play the first of their two matches in the Gameweek with struggling Villa the visitors to Selhurst Park, while Spurs will continue their unlikely campaign for fourth spot with a trip to relegation threatened West Brom. Southampton can go a long way to banishing Cardiff to the Championship via their St Mary’s clash, while Fulham and Norwich battle out a six-pointer at the Cottage. Finally, Stoke and Newcastle cosy up to mid-table safety at the Britannia.

Look to our Twitter feed for news of today’s teamsheets, while our Dugout Discussion chatroom is available to those who fancy some real-time reactions.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

        I disagree, any game away from home against a team battling for survival is gonna be tougher that it appears on paper. The have come away with a win, which is what they were after. Surely the Saints game was the easiest.

    Repost
    -------------
    If it is a regular game, the only one that I trust to be my captain beside Suarez is Kun Aguerooooo, now he has a double. What to think about more?

    feels good looking my team with that blue.man having the armband. I want top 5k. Lukaka isn't explosive enough imo and Everton aren't crashing opponents.

    And yeah Kun will play and won't get injury this time. He isn't made of glass!

    Aguerooooo go faking mental son. That green I like to be so fat 🙂

    I was a Wes Brown OG and 7min earlier substitution for Chambers away from a 50point (from 6 guys) night.

    Still 30 points with 7bp to come, I cant complain

    Captained Baines

    Anyone doing Lukaka to Ade next week?

    Think I might double up with Erik till the end of the season. Should be a reasonable differential.

        Can't see a better option unless people are sticking with, or retiring to, SAS.

        Lukaka scored hack trick vs Man Utd last year. That could be painful decision

      At the mo I'm thinking Luka > Studge & Barkley > Mata/Eriksen/Ramsey (-4) all very much subject to change tho.
