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.

    Seems like most people here do not know how to use technology to verify facts from fiction. Get a grip of yourselves, talking points such as these are meaningless, if one takes the initiative to watch the replay closely and repeatedly, if you must.

    8. The Royal Robin

      Starting to feel torn this week using my 2 FT's. Isn't Lukaku looking as good, if not a better prospect than Kun right now considering his value?

      1. Team Cruel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Ibra - Luka - Kun

        1. HuttonDressedasLahm

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          How though.

          1. Nicks93
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            Capoue 4th mid

          2. Fred54
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            I can do that.

            Benteke > Kun, Barkley > Snodgrass. Stll leaves me with 1M+ to change Hazard to Sanchez or someone to Firminho.

          3. Team Cruel
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            Sterling - Antonio - Firmino - Snodgrass - Capoue

        3. Xuey
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Minus the Ibra

    9. La Roja
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Bolasie must be bargain of the season with Capoue at this rate

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

        Snodgrass?

        1. HuttonDressedasLahm
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Yep

        2. La Roja
          • 14 Years

          This too

        That's not how it works though!

        1. Team Cruel
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          He agreed, that's all we care about

        Beyond ridiculous

        1. HellasLEAF
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          I agree that it is ridiculous.

          Claiming a goal on what looks like a shoelace?

          Hog-Kaku should let that stand for his teammate!

      Anyone know why Chadli is flagged?

      1. Revival
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years

        He was subbed off due to a knock he picked up

      2. Fred54
        • 11 Years

        Came off with a knock.

      Definite touch. I'm 100% certain.

      1. Eden Azzzar
        • 10 Years

        Agreed

      2. @persecuted_by_mods

        Everton dressing room have given it to Lukaku.

        Case closed.

        1. Leaf
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years

          Is it up to them ?

        Goal given to Lukaku ...official from everton dressing room

        1. @persecuted_by_mods
            9 years, 5 months ago

            Look at the vid posted up there, can finally see the touch. It's his goal

        2. TheTinman
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          What's going on?

        3. Over Midwicket
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Is Lukaku limping?

        4. TeddiPonza
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          With my 2 FT my team next week will be:

          Foster
          Shaw Stones Evans (Amat Friend)
          Hazard Alexis Snodgrass Capoue Redmond (one of Snod, Cap and Red will be benched)
          Gray Zlatan Aguero

          Not having Lukaku is killing me!

          Use WC now or be patient and stick with it?

        5. Stats Don\'t Lie
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Yay, lukaku to lose goal 🙂

          1. Grand Thibauto
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            How

            1. Wouter
              • 11 Years
              9 years, 5 months ago

              Disappointed it wasn't your mixtape mate

            2. TJ_777
              • 11 Years
              9 years, 5 months ago

              watch after 30s foot in front of ball from that angle. Balls angle doesn't narrow so no touch

          2. FPLEL
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            Very unlikely.

          3. SirStevieG
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            nope, but nice try

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

          Everton dressing room have given the goal to Lukaku. Ah sure that's grand we'll just ignore the replays then.

          1. @persecuted_by_mods
              9 years, 5 months ago

              https://my.mixtape.moe/bfgury.mp4

              He touches it, outside of the foot once it's past him

              1. Too Mane Men
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 11 Years
                9 years, 5 months ago

                I'm sorry but you can't go around claiming you know he's touched the ball. You can hardly see from the footage. Lukaku will get it but we'll never know if he touched it or not.

          2. Cocky Spaniel Alves
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            On a wc, which is better?

            A) Ibra Cazorla Lallana (Carrick as a 5th mid)

            B) Deeney Sanchez Firmino (Fletcher 5th mid)

          3. phace
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            Everton dressing room says it's Lukaku's goal.

          4. England's Number 1
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            Don't own Lukaku but agree it was Lukaku's goal. The ball sped up a little.

            1. @persecuted_by_mods
                9 years, 5 months ago

                https://my.mixtape.moe/bfgury.mp4

                28-29 seconds in proves it, outside of his foot

              • kim don juan
                • 13 Years
                9 years, 5 months ago

                A spinning ball sped up when it skidded on the bounce, well yeah definitely a Lukaku goal then.

              • chinmusic
                • 16 Years
                9 years, 5 months ago

                Other people say it is his because it slowed down. There is no way of proving he did or didn't so he'll keep it.

              So players get goals now with no involvement? Sound.

                Just Rooney and Lukaku. And the opposite for Deulofeu.

                  • 11 Years
                  9 years, 5 months ago

                  I'm still salty about that Deulofeu scandal, should have been his assist

                  https://my.mixtape.moe/bfgury.mp4

                  28-29 seconds in, definite touch outside of his foot

                  Slowed the replay from mixtape right down and although it's a complete miskick Lukaku does brush the ball and it does change direction.

                Everyone look at the replay from behind the goal, clear change of direction on the ball. So faint, but still a touch.
