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.

    My mate big Dave is at the game and he said Lukaku definitely touched it. Big Dave wouldn't lie. Case closed.

    Lukaku is a honest bloke, no way he wouldn't claim it if he didn't get a touch

    Lukaku goal

        Bemba is best ignored, ultimate troll

    2. @persecuted_by_mods

      I'm sure he did skim it, I just don't see how fpl can give it to him. Maybe a better replay will show if it changed direction but I can't see it

        Everyone's looking at the ball and not his boot! The ball messed up his laces

    3. Rolls-Royce

      Boo.

      Lukaku owner.

      How on earth do you know he is honest. Does he go to your church or something

      ^ Wow all these posters need to lighten up

    7. Sánchez

      Agree. He has an honest face

  4. Kane Train

    Thoughts on this WC team

    Heaton
    Williams / Smith / Evans
    Antonio / De Bruyne / Sanchez / Bolasie
    Aguero / Lukaku / Ibrahimovic

    Bench: Jaku, Amat, Capoue, Friend

    1. Forza Papac
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Love it.

    2. Bellerinmondo
      10 years, 1 month ago

      looks good, I'd like a liverpool mid but can't have em all

    3. F4L
      10 years, 1 month ago

      surely over budget no?

    4. andymck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Maybe KdB > Mane/Firmino but otherwise looks great.

    5. Styles_X
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Monitor KdB with agüero coming back.

    6. Kane Train
      10 years, 1 month ago

      yes sorry i mucked up

    7. Michael_Scott
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I agree with bellerinmondo. Liverpool mid instead of KDB? Use the cash to get in Valencia/Shaw or other premium defender?

    8. raff97
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Pretty sure that team is impossible to make, no matter how early you got the players

  5. Fred54
    10 years, 1 month ago

    In someways I'm glad I used my WC early on because the more form info you have, the harder it gets!

  6. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
    10 years, 1 month ago

    The powers that be at fpl will asses Based on their Lukaku ownership. # makeitupasyougoalong

  7. dinvincible
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Overall rank 104

    Have triple everton defence + now lukaku scoring and all is going to make it even worse.

    I hope I stay in 10k

    1. Eden Azzzar
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Link otherwise I don't believe

    2. Michael_Scott
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Great rank! Well done.

  8. Z
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Payet - Ozil - Snodgrass - Capoue - HAZARD
    Ibra - Lukaku - BENTEKE

    Hazard > Barry (4.7)
    Benteke > Aguero

    Wouldn't want to bench Snodgrass or Capoue anyway...

    1. Too Mane Men
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Barrywagon already revving its engine I see.

      1. Z
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Is there a better option below 4.7?

  9. Greenbackbøøg…
    10 years, 1 month ago

    https://my.mixtape.moe/bfgury.mp4 Don't think it touched Lukaku, will probably be taken away

    1. Eden Azzzar
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Look at around 27 seconds u can see their is a tiny snick

  10. Les Bleus
    10 years, 1 month ago

    The Merseyside teams will be FPL gold this year.

  11. Do I Not Like Orange

    On WC. Which combo would you rather have for the next 4-5 GWs?

    A) Mane/Lukaku
    B) Sanchez/Benteke

    1. Michael_Scott
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I'd go for A!

  12. JIM BOB
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Lukaku reacts / celebrates immediately and did so very convincingly. No hesitation at all.

    1. Parm
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      He's a greedy c*** that's why

      1. SirStevieG

    3. Bellerinmondo
      10 years, 1 month ago

    4. Bolivian Seaman
      10 years, 1 month ago

    Here's what we know AS IT STANDS:

    Goals: Stekelenburg (og), Barry, Coleman, Lukaku
    Assists: Lukaku, Bolasie

    But that is just AS IT STANDS

    1. Numb
      10 years, 1 month ago

      More to come in the second half

  14. devils advocate
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Lukaku making it very hard for me to drop him for Aguero.

  15. DA Minnion (Former great)
    10 years, 1 month ago

    I need it to be a lukaku goal so much.

  16. Sánchez
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Will this all matter after lukakus second half hatty?

  17. Numb
    10 years, 1 month ago

    The Dubious Goals Panel will sort it out, dont worry.

    1. Lanley Staurel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Not relevant tho.

    2. FPLEL
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Not in time, thankfully.

  18. Wouter
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Think they should just give it to Barkley instead if they can't decide.

  19. Sánchez
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Any footage of lukaku goal

    1. John t penguin

    If you want to debate the goal then email the dubious goal comittee

  21. Too Mane Men
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Is this a joke? That is a Bolasie goal all day. I assume I won't be seeing this points because of this ridiculous dubious goals rule?

    1. FFSbet.com
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Buy Lukaku,11.5M+ from next season 🙂

  22. JÆKS ⭐
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Who is the best middfielder for 7.4 or less (not Antonio)

    1. Bellerinmondo

      snod?

  23. Wouter
    10 years, 1 month ago

    @OfficialFPL 15 seconds ago
    SCOUT SAYS: The goal is given to Lukaku - a huge decision for his 16% ownership and the 6% who captained him #FPL

  24. Chucky
    10 years, 1 month ago

    That's a clear Bolasie Goal assisted by Baines.It will be changed later imo

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I think Lukaku did skim it tbf, impossible to prove so goal should go to Bolasie

    2. Mull
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Didn't know Baines was black?

    3. Lanley Staurel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Baines!? Got him so now Im less bothered if Lukaku doesnt get it.

    4. devils advocate
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Baines was no where near that ball, lol.

    5. Eden Azzzar
      10 years, 1 month ago

      So dumb, lol Gueye passed it to Bolasie

  25. OPTA FPL
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Even Negredo claimed that goal lol

    1. Dr. Agabuse
      10 years, 1 month ago

      1. Dr. Agabuse
        10 years, 1 month ago

  26. Cocky Spaniel Alves
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Seeing as it's half time and they can't score for a short while i'm hoping to get some comments about these proposed wc teams.

    A)
    Foster
    Valencia Williams Holebas
    SANCHEZ Sterling Antonio FIRMINO
    Kun Lukaku DEENEY

    Jaku FLETCHER Amat Kingsley

    B)
    Foster
    Valencia Williams Holebas
    CAZORLA Sterling Antonio LALLANA
    Kun Lukaku IBRA

    Jaku CARRICK Amat Kingsley

    Do you guys think either one is any good?

    1. Shultan
      10 years, 1 month ago

      A

  27. Moin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Should be a Bolasie goal!
    *Non-Bias Bolasie Owner*

    1. SW6
      10 years, 1 month ago

      This! And I don't even own Lukaku 😉

  28. trequartista
    10 years, 1 month ago

    A)Hazard to Antonio
    Redmond to Capoue
    for -4

    OR

    B)Hazard to Snodgrass for free

    Have to make way for Aguero 😉

    1. trequartista
      10 years, 1 month ago

      If Iwobi wasn't a rotation risk, I'd definitely go for him. Fantastic prospect

      1. Dr. Agabuse
        10 years, 1 month ago

        ramsey back. +wenger likes walcott these days+ giroud Perez...
        will be a heartbrake moment when iwobi gets 15mins and capoue stays on benches with his doubledigits

  29. PvA
    10 years, 1 month ago

    My ML rival (c) Lukaku... wouldn't mind if that was Bolasie's goal

    It was clearly a Bolasie goal, even though I own him

    1. Swan - Villa Proud
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Lukaku owner; I think it's a Bolasie goal

  30. Mikeharbrw
    10 years, 1 month ago
