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.

    Lukaku trolling Bolasie

  14. Viper

    Bolasie & Lukaku (c) here.

    Happy either way but obviously much better if it Lukaku

  15. Davido989

    Pretty hideous from FPL if it stands as a Lukaku goal.

    1. Epic Fail
      10 years, 1 month ago

      The fools will make it stand, and will be too late when the Dubious Goals Panel give it to Bolasie.

    2. Viper
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Everywhere is given it as a Lukaku goal right now so not their fault

    3. Michael_Scott
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I've seen it 5 or 6 times at different angles... It really doesn't look like he touched it! Surely it will be changed to Bolaise?

  16. screamopilla
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Lukaku didn't touch it. Will be given to Bolasie

    1. FPLEL
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Not a chance.

  17. Make United Great Again
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Bolasie's cross crept in - the question is whether Lukaku got a faint touch as the ball travelled into the net. Stay tuned... #FPL

    You can see he touched it. Open your eyes.

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Really? I'll have to watch the slow mo again. I do think he touched it but replay looked inconclusive

  20. Bolivian Seaman
    10 years, 1 month ago

    half time and lukaku has an assist and a goal. 10 minutes earlier - whinge whinge whinge

  21. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    10 years, 1 month ago

  22. TheCurseOfRaheem

    When you realise that the Sanchez penalty miss cost us captainers 20 pts 🙁 Unbelievable swing cause he got zero bonus.

    1. All Hail K
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Actually 14 points, he gets -2 for missing the penalty.

    10 years, 1 month ago

  25. Coaly
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Captain choice was between Sanchez, Lukaku and Ibra

    2 goals
    'Goal' and assist
    Captain Ibra - .......

    At the end of the day, a goal hogging CF always stealing points is a good thing. Might need to get on board, again.

  27. @persecuted_by_mods
    10 years, 1 month ago

    How could that be given seriously lol, it's impossible to prove

  28. John t penguin
