Gameweek 32’s inaugural fixture sees Swansea City welcome Everton to the Liberty Stadium in the lunchtime kick-off. Both sides boast good form leading up to this encounter, with the Swans earning victories in the previous two Gameweeks, while the Toffees are in the midst of a three-match wining streak.

All eyes will be on Bafetimbi Gomis in the wake of his brace against Hull City last time out. The ex-Lyon frontman has struggled to fill the void created by Wilfried Bony’s departure to Manchester City, yet four goals for Gomis in as many starts suggests he’ll be a key player for the Welsh outfit throughout their agreeable run-in. Elsewhere in the Swansea camp, Ki Sung-Yeung continues to impress with his goalscoring prowess – having netted four goals in the past eight Gameweeks – while Gylfi Sigurdsson has delivered attacking returns in two of his last four outings.

Garry Monk is forced into one change to the side that saw off ten-man Hull City last time out – Angel Rangel comes in at right-back with Kyle Naughton forced to miss the remainder of the season with an ankle injury.

Everton’s upturn in form has renewed Fantasy interest in the likes of right-back Seamus Coleman, who bagged a goal and an assist in their Gameweek 30 visit to Loftus Road. The Irish international has benefited from Everton’s much-improved defensive resolve in recent weeks, with Roberto Martinez’s men conceding a solitary goal in their last three league clashes. Today’s teamsheet finds Everton unchanged, as Romelu Lukaku misses out once again: Arouna Kone leads the attack with Ross Barkley up in support.

    Let's create some luck here folks!

    What needs to happen in the 2nd half of Everton vs Swansea for your team??

    1. Forza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      A few own goals and red cards would be nice.

      1. The Banter Panther
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        I second that, Ki to score a screamer for me!

    2. Kev07

    3. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      A Swansea goal from someone like emnes or shelvey

      1. The Banter Panther
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        I agree, hoping Ki!

    4. mgilbert86

      swansea scores, but siggy doesn't

      1. The Banter Panther
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Couldn't agree more! Siggy isn't having a great game, besides that quality cross earlier on

      2. banskt
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        +1

    5. ellelelle

      gomis to not score.. fabianski to let in a few more?

    6. V-2 Schneiderlin
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Gomis needs to come back on and score 🙁

  4. Kev07
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Looks like Swansea could do with Michu back...

    1. Numb
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      What's he up to this season?

      1. Kev07
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Failure of a loan spell at Napoli. Played only 6 games I think

        1. Numb
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Oh dear

      2. Stats Don\'t Lie
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Getting injured and not scoring

  5. Numb
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    TOTY - correction (forgot about Silva!)

    De Gea
    Ivanovic Terry Fonte Bertrand
    Fabregas Carrick
    Sanchez Silva Hazard
    Kane

    1. Beavis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Matic for Carrick and Kun/Costa for Silva.

    2. Lucy.
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Matic in for Carrick.

    3. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Matic in for carrick, Costa in for fabregas or silva

    4. Breadbin
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      It doesn't have to be a balanced team. 3 asking midfielders and 1 striker doesn't seem right.

      1. Numb
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Just didn't think any other striker stood out.

        1. Breadbin
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Short memory in that case.

    5. Captain Shirokov
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Fabregas and Carrick out for Matic and Costa.

  6. Major Obvious
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    lol @ lee grant owners

  7. Beavis
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    Hahah am I seeing Coquelin in teams of the year? 😆

    1. La Roja
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Insane

      I mean he's decent but not that good ffs

      1. Lucy.
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Alright, alright. Schneiderlin it is 😉

        1. La Roja
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Good lad

          y

      2. Beavis
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Lol he's also only played like 10 games.

    2. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 11 Years

      Link?

    3. Billy Gilmore
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Well it is team of the "year". He'd be in my team of 2015 😉

    4. @ocprodigy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Arsenal fans.

      1. La Roja
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Crazy talk, I'm an arsenal fan and he should be near to that

      2. Solenya
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Can't blame 'em. Any half decent CDM would turn their heads 😉

    5. Captain Shirokov
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah 😆

      Tbf, whenever a TOTY post bandwagon starts around here there are always a good few ridiculous names thrown about the place.

      People like to be different.

      1. Stats Don\'t Lie
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah, like Michael carrick, wtf??. He only just got back from injury.

  8. Federico
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Sanchez -> Yaya, one week punt?

  9. Syd.
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Siggy hattie incoming 🙂

    1. Bøwstring The Carp
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      NO 😕

    2. The Banter Panther
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Let Ki assist them all and it's a deal!

  10. banskt
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Now that I can see the blanks, its easier to think of next week.

    Krul
    Terry, Clyne, Rose
    Silva, Hazard, Eriksen, Mane
    Aguero, Kane

    Non-playing: Pantillimon, Moreno, McShane, Sinclair, Benteke.

    I have got 2 transfers to sort it out, followed by a WC to load with DGW players.

    1) Buy Hart/Howard and Remy [have to play Mane with no support from bench]
    2) Buy Baines and Remy [have to play Krul - Newcastle are so pathetic atm]

  11. Cluckfuster
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Aguero -> Gomis isn't looking as clever as it was.

    Arse.

    1. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Just get him back in this week

    2. Lucy.
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Unlucky. 🙁

  12. deshawn7
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    all i wish now is a siggy goal and a baines penalty.

    1. Breadbin
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Is that because they're in your team?

      1. money face bandwagon
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        if not why would he wish for that?

  13. Dušan Citizen
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    POTY

    DDG
    Ivanovic - Williams - Kocielny - Bertrand
    Sanchez - Silva - Matic - Hazard
    Austin - Kane

    1. Lucy.
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Williams?!

      1. Ludo
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Has had an individually brilliant season in fairness.

        1. Breadbin
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Not Southampton enough...

          1. Lucy.
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 1 month ago

            Eh?

      2. Dušan Citizen
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Swansea got one of the best defence in the league

    2. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Clyne?

      1. Dušan Citizen
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Ivanovic was better than him to be fair. Clyne is 2nd best

        1. Breadbin
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Not defensively.

      2. @ocprodigy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Ivanovic wins that battle each time.

  14. Stats Don\'t Lie
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Wow, I'm not alone in captaining Remy. 1.0% in top 10k

    1. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Hardly a surprise

      QPR can't defend

      1. Stats Don\'t Lie
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Good differential right there

        1. Syd.
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          I captained him too 🙂

          1. Stats Don\'t Lie
            • 11 Years
            11 years, 1 month ago

            #TeamRemy

    2. ellelelle
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      brave move. hope it pays off for you!

      1. Stats Don\'t Lie
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks, go big or go home right? 😎

  15. The Nuttmxn
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    What has happened to Nelson Oliviera out of interest?

    1. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Didn't qualify for Q2

      1. The Nuttmxn
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        😆

  16. Saniul
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Stones with the best fixture next week. 😯
    Why did I even sell him last week?

    1. Lucy.
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Yes gaffer, why did you? 😉

      1. Saniul
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Got me like 6 points in 6 games, must be one of the reasons.

  17. La Roja
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    TOTY

    Arsenal

    1. Breadbin
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      2nd currently, aiming for 4th best.

      1. La Roja
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        So?

        1. Breadbin
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          So they're not team of the year.

          1. La Roja
            • 14 Years
            11 years, 1 month ago

            So your point is not valid.

    2. Lucy.
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      *Southampton. 😛

      1. La Roja
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        *was

        🙂

    3. @ocprodigy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Whoever wins the league, its pretty simple.

      1. Lucy.
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Not really. It should be about the expectations they were set at the beginning of the season vs how they perform. Chelsea were expected to challenge for the title. No surprises there.

        1. La Roja
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Precisely

      2. La Roja
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        I think it's quite evident Arsenal is playing the best football this year. Unfortunately though, losing few crucial games screwed us.

    4. Saniul
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Has to be Southampton.

    5. Captain Shirokov
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Chelsea, because they will win the league.

      1. Lucy.
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        See answer above.

  18. Bøwstring The Carp
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Who would win between a Northwest XI (Manchester-Merseyside) or a London XI?

    1. Captain Shirokov
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Landan

      1. Captain Shirokov
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Chelsea and Arsenal are the two best teams in the country.

  19. mgilbert86
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    maybe this

    de gea

    ivanovic terry fonte bertrand

    sanchez matic silva hazard

    kane austin

  20. Les Bleus
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Kane ownership in the top 10k went from 99.6% to 99.5%. Who got rid!? Reveal yourself! 😛

    1. Lucy.
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Probably a few rage transfers after Kane (C) backfired last week.

      1. Les Bleus
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Let's hope that haunts them this week 😉

    2. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Probably good differential

      1. Les Bleus
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Against Villa at home? Hardly the right time.

    3. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Could be something to do with Spurs form

      They've been awful in the last few

    4. Konig Luther
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      probably they bought Gomis.

    5. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      10ppl apparently

    6. money face bandwagon
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      now to punt or never

    7. Ludo
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Nobody got rid, but a few people without Kane and with Benteke/Austin would've overtaken some template sides.

  21. Dr Dream
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Taylor banned.

    1. mgilbert86
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

  22. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    taylor fail

    suspended for 2 games

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years

      Was this the last game to avoid a YC?

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        yes

  23. 4vets

    11 years, 1 month ago

    FFS!

  24. Royal5
    • 14 Years

    Taylor suspended?

  25. S.Kuqi
    • 13 Years

    Naylor yc what surprise.

  26. Jafooli

    10th YC for Taylor out for two games...

  27. Odikostar

    11 years, 1 month ago

    The nailor yellow

    1. Syd.
      • 16 Years

      The customary Naylor yellow

  28. Beavis
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Not really sure how you can argue with:

    DDG
    Ivan, Terry, Fonte, Bertrand
    Sanchez, Matic, Cesc, Hazard
    Kane, Aguero

    Only notable deserving absentees are Clyne, Azpi, Silva and Costa imo.

    1. Clam. ☘️
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Think Williams deserves a look in. Austin surely?

    2. Coldplay
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Cazorla and Austin in for Cesc and Kun and I won't argue.

  29. A-VB
    • 11 Years

    Neil Taylor has received his 10th Yellow Card of the season.
    Suspension in the next two matches await.. 😉
