Saturday’s events come to a close at Goodison Park with Ronald Koeman’s upwardly mobile Everton side hosting Middlesbrough.

Frankly, this match is all about Romelu Lukaku.

The Belgian exploded a dramatic 11-minute hat-trick just six days ago at Sunderland and heads into the tea-time encounter backed by almost 250,000 new owners, with 6% handing him the captaincy.

Koeman’s side will be bidding for a fourth straight victory and a third consecutive clean sheet.

Middlesbrough’s task looks tough, then, having suffered a home reverse in Gameweek 4 at the hands of Crystal Palace.

Alvaro Negredo goes into the contest desperate for a goal having blanked in his last three. Having soared early on as a Fantasy Premier League transfer target, he’s been hemorrhaging owners for the past three Gameweeks, losing 164,000 heading into Friday’s deadline.

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

      9 years, 5 months ago

      Lukaku owner but they can't give him that, I think he did lace it but surely it can't be given as it can't be proven

      1. OPTA FPL
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        • 11 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Don't worry mate, we'll be rewarded second half.

    • Acquafresca
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Romelu Flukaku

    • FPLEL
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      It's been given to Kaku.

    • Nabs Kebabs
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      We know how lenient theu have been with awarding Lukaku points in the past...

    • Duke Silver ☑
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Lukaku - the master of phantom FPL points.

    • Chucky
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I need my Baines assist

    • mattk lfc
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      FPL given it to Rom

      1. KingNidge
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Be taken away just as quick

    • SC not pearls before swine
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      It would be the most lukaku thing ever to have not gotten a touch on that

    • Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      That's clearly a Bolasie goal. I'm emailing fantasy football.

      1. @persecuted_by_mods
          9 years, 5 months ago

          I think Lukaku did skim it but it's impossible to prove so they have to give it to bolasie. I say that as a Lukaku owner
