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.

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

    Why is he going off, makes no sense..

  12. Chucky
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Justice for Non Lukaku Owners

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      24 points is good enough 😉

    2. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Why? How were you wronged?

  13. Sánchez
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Lukaku injury serious?

    1. sminkypinky
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I don't think so

    2. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      No, but until we know what it was we are only speculating right now.

  14. devils advocate
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Lukaku injury would make my Aguero transfer decision so much easier as bad as that sounds.

    Sorry Rom.

    1. Rolls-Royce
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      This. Completely solves my team problem.

  15. Rolls-Royce
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Kaku injury looked bad?

    1. For Fuchs Sake
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Nah, limping, then a foot injury, seemed ok

  16. Pack The Ripper
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Foster
    Valencia, Baines, Collins
    Sanchez, Hazard, Capoue, Antonio, Sterling
    Aguero, Costa,

    4 point hit i can get the above team. Thoughts?

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

    Sure he can still score from the bench.

    1. MTPockets
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Definitely. Dressing room rules Section 2(b)ii

    2. PvA
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Lukaku injured

      Most likely getting that goal taken away from him right?

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

        You can't tell from the footage so he'll most probably keep it. Brilliant for Bolasie owners like myself.

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

        Was his goal.

    3. Eden Azzzar
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Could of seen Kaku grabbing another goal in this game. Too bad he's going off

    4. Carpe Diem
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Is Iheanacho essential after 2 goals and 2 assists in the last 2 GWs?

      1. Turbo Timo
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Aguero returns

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

        Yes

      3. Revival
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Aguero has 9 goals in 5 games under Pep, he is esstential

      4. Mr. Blonde
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Not when he's sat on the bench

      5. Raheem S. Archer
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        No, Aguero back

      6. adibo
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Aguero scored hattrick versus monchengadbakaka so No

      7. Carpe Diem
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        I was sarcastic, of course :p

      8. devils advocate
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        He can't score from the bench.

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

      Bye bye baps

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

        Nah, they'll be fine

        🙄

    6. Turbo Timo
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Sanchez (c) and no bonus!
      Lukaku owner so I don't know whether his goal should be taken away or not

    7. PvA
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Makes the decision on who to take out for Aguero A LOT easier

      1. Frank Black
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Definitely not because he's probably not injured.

    8. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Well done Lukaku, finally my captain actually does something

    9. The Tinkerman
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I can't see Kaku missing any games after this, looks like an impact injury.

      1. VS10_
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Yeah, he was struggling a bit 15 minutes ago and was able to continue. Should be fine.

      2. Revival
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        He will prob be a doubt all week to anyone us who are getting him in on a wildcard

      3. sminkypinky
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Me neither

    10. st4rt__
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Goal and assist from Lukaku, that'll do. 60 pts all out today. Lloris, Eriksen & Bentekers tomorrow, high 70's please.

      1. Net Gains
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        I think you'll get that as well

    11. Krul Runnings
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      That's a shame, you would think he would've gotten at least one more chance to score there.

      Can he hold the 3 bonus if no other goals?

      Surely?!

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

        Should get at least 2 anyway

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

        No clean sheet for Everton so I'd say so.

      3. TheSteel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        He can still score. Didnt touch it last time 😛

      4. n-doggg
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Not sure

    12. Arctic monkeys
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Nacho Captaincy over Lukaku didn't go that bad

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

        I was fearing the worst at HY

      2. Davido989
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        At least Iheanacho actually scored his goal.

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

      Nooooooooo

    14. Frank Black
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Was Lukaku injured? I couldn't tell...

      1. Karmanya
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Will Lukaku keep the goal?
