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.

        just getting warmed up

  3. 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, 10 months ago

      Ibra - Luka - Kun

      1. HuttonDressedasLahm
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        This

      2. andymck
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        How though.

        1. Nicks93
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 10 months ago

          Capoue 4th mid

        2. Fred54
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 10 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, 10 months ago

          Sterling - Antonio - Firmino - Snodgrass - Capoue

      3. Xuey
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        Minus the Ibra

  4. La Roja
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

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

    1. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Snodgrass?

      1. HuttonDressedasLahm
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        Yep

      2. La Roja
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        This too

  5. The Gambler.
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Sky saying Bolasie agreed to give it to trollkaku

    1. kim don juan
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      That's not how it works though!

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

        He agreed, that's all we care about

    2. TheSteel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Lol not a factor

    3. chinmusic
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Beyond ridiculous

      1. HellasLEAF
        • 17 Years
        9 years, 10 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!

  6. devils advocate
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Anyone know why Chadli is flagged?

    1. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      He was subbed off due to a knock he picked up

    2. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Came off with a knock.

    3. devils advocate

      Thanks.

    Definite touch. I'm 100% certain.

    1. Eden Azzzar
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Agreed

    2. @persecuted_by_mods
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Yes now I can see it conclusive

  8. Dr Dream

    Lukaku struggling.

  9. 1966 was a great year for E…
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Everton dressing room have given it to Lukaku.

    Case closed.

    1. Leaf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Is it up to them ?

  10. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
    • 17 Years

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

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
      9 years, 10 months ago

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

  11. TheTinman
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    What's going on?

  12. Over Midwicket
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Is Lukaku limping?

  13. TeddiPonza
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 10 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?

  14. Stats Don\'t Lie
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Yay, lukaku to lose goal 🙂

    1. Grand Thibauto
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      How

      1. Wouter
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        Disappointed it wasn't your mixtape mate

      2. TJ_777
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 10 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, 10 months ago

      Very unlikely.

    3. SirStevieG
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      nope, but nice try

  15. Duke Silver ☑
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 10 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, 10 months ago

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

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

      1. Too Mane Men
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 10 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.

  16. Cocky Spaniel Alves
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    On a wc, which is better?

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

    B) Deeney Sanchez Firmino (Fletcher 5th mid)

  17. phace
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

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

  18. England's Number 1
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 10 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, 10 months ago

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

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

    2. kim don juan
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

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

    3. chinmusic
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 10 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.

  19. AlexFF
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    So far my team has 3 goals scored and 4 assists! Payet, Lukaku and Chadli.. and it's only Saturday! Happy days.

    1. Eden Azzzar
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      You have Chadli ?

      1. AlexFF
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        Yeah

    2. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 11 Years

      Well played on chadders

      1. AlexFF

    Is lukaku fine?

    1. farooqriasat786
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Yes

  21. BrockLanders
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    So players get goals now with no involvement? Sound.

    1. For Fuchs Sake
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      He touched it, deal with it!

    2. Mull
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

      Just Rooney and Lukaku. And the opposite for Deulofeu.

      1. Greenbackbøøg…
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

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

    3. @persecuted_by_mods
      9 years, 10 months ago

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

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

      1. chinmusic
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 10 months ago

        Whatever it is it isn't definite. Or we wouldn't be debating it b

    4. Nomar
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 10 months ago

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

  22. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Mirallas has been shocking

    1. Grand Thibauto
      • 11 Years

      Update Link Bemba

    2. Ravager

  23. Make United Great Again

    Lukaku injured

  24. Bolivian Seaman

    Miralles gives baines a hospital pass

  25. For Fuchs Sake
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

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

  26. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 10 months ago

    Mirallas for dele incoming

  27. KJT123
    • 15 Years

    This is why we need Snicko and Hotspot.

  28. Lecky Legs FC
    • 10 Years

    Nolito,Costa & Ozil > Aguero,KDB & Gundogan good or bad idea?

  29. Emiliano Sala
    • 10 Years

      Depends on whether they award him his goal or not 🙂
