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.

    I'm fairly certain I saw a bead of his sweet hit the ball as it flew pass.

    Has to be a Lukaku goal then.

    Literally I cannot believe he didn't get a proper touch on that, was on a plate for him.

    I need it to be Kaku goal so so bad

    I love how they just take Lukaku's word that he touched it 😀

            • 14 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            I have him captained and I agree.....lets just take it.

          2. @persecuted_by_mods
              9 years, 5 months ago

              He probably skimmed it, but there's no way it can be proven, not with the replays shown so far.

              A is better, just replace Hazard with someone else.

              9 years, 5 months ago

              Is it not a moot point now anyway? Fpl have made their decision.

              1. Forza

                • 11 Years

                They can change it back before bonus is awarded.

                  • 11 Years
                  9 years, 5 months ago

                  Can whoever arbitrates the goals change it before then?

            What the hell Lukaku pinching my lovely Bolasie goal. On second thoughts I have them both....

            Clearly a Lukaku goal.

            • 16 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            The thing is, for Kaku to be claiming it in such a manner, he had to have touched it.

            Even though I can't see for the life of me if he has touched it or not

            • 9 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            This decision lies on the shoulders of the main man of the goals panel

            If he has Lukaku in his team: Goal
            If he doesn't have Luakaku: No Goal

              lol true.

              Stupid if Lukaku gets it.
