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.

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

    No BAPs for Sanchez 😯

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

      Wow.

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

      You say what now? 🙁

    3. DaddyPig
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Really?

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

      Seriously??

  2. Jay Jay Okocha
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Damn near impossible to sort my front 8 on WC...

    I want Sanchez, KDB, Hazard, Firmino, Sterling, Antonio in addition to Aguero, Ibra, Costa, Lukaku

    1. Swan - Villa Proud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Drop Sanchez and Hazard. Sanchez way too inconsistent for my liking.

  3. Mithrandir, the Grey Pilgri…
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Walcott Sanchez and Antonio. Get in!

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

    Baps Updated.Bad news 🙁

    1. BB-8
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      It's a disgrace. The system is flawed

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

        🙁 We want 3

  5. VS10_

    KDB 3 bonus Sterling 2

    1. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Nacho?

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

        1.

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

        Go look yourself 😉 1

        1. Hybrid.power
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          On mobile. Lazy.

  6. gaurava1216
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    A or B guys?

    A) Costa + Redmond or other 6.1 mid?
    B) Lukaku + Chadli or other 6.6 mid?

  7. Duffo
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    No baps for Sanchez?

    1. kennethrhcp
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      is that finalised?

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

      Nope

  8. kennethrhcp
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    nearly hit WC but don't think it's needed... so

    A: Costa to Aguero (free, 0.7m itb)
    or
    B: Hazard & Gray to Snodgrass & Aguero (-4, 1.9m itb)

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

      B. Time for Gray to Go

  9. BB-8
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Can someone explain to me how someone who scores a brace ends up with no BAPs? Even Costa gets max baps after a brace

    1. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Missed penalty and lack of influence I guess

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

      Missed a peno?

      1. BB-8
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Yes. But how much can that possibly take off the baps?

        1. Wilshere Knowledge
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          6 for the pen, 3 for missing a chance. (assuming it counts as both)

          1. BB-8
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            Wow. That's 9 not counting goal scored baps. Would've run away with it. 20 possible points lost from one kick 😐

    3. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Costa doesn't miss penalties.

      1. BB-8
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Yellow cards and fouls are just as bad imo. Or they should be

    4. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Too many offsides, too many fouls, missed a penalty.

      1. BB-8
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        That peno miss cost me 20 points 🙁

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

      Flukey first goal. Missed a pen.

  10. Jimmy Boy
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    2 Arsenal mids or 2 Liverpool mids?

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

      1 of each

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

      1 or each a goer?

    3. Jimmy Boy
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Sorry, let me rephrase. 2 Ars + 1 Liv or 2 Liv + 1 Ars?

      1. kennethrhcp
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        id go 2 Liverpool

    4. Swan - Villa Proud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      2 Pool.

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

      Neither.

      1. Smurf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        1 each is more than enough.

  11. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Wow Snodgrass up to 2 baps.
    The light of my fantasy life.

      My first sub...idiotic of me to drop him

  12. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    So, after a decent Saturday for me - I've got my drafted WC team. I'm sure it'll be tinkered with 100x from now;

    Foster / Jaku
    Baines / Valencia / Stones / Pieters / Amat
    Sanchez / Firmino / Sterling / Snodgrass / Capoue
    Aguero / Lukaku / Benteke

    I am concerned about the Tekkers pick, may downgrade defence, Stones and Baines to Holebas and Williams to get Slimani in.

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

      Tekkers has Sunderland next up so wouldn't be too worried at all.

      Team looks sweet!

      1. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Cheers dude! Let's hope I catch all the risers as that's 0.0 in the bank!

    2. MTPockets
        9 years, 5 months ago

        I'm looking at same mids but Ibra/deeney + cheaper defs for baines and stones.

    3. Swans4life
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I am wc my team and I need your advice on who's deadweight in my team and who I could replace them with
      Jaku/courtious
      Baines/shaw/pieters/mcauley/Collins
      Leko/redmond/hazard/sanchez/lamela
      Ibra/lukaku/negrado

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

        Leko > Capoue and
        Redmond > Snodgrass

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

      Getting the feeling Boro games are going to be tough ones to watch this season

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

      How about this? My wc draft:

      Foster
      Valencia Williams Holebas
      Sanchez Sterling Antonio Firmino
      Kun Ibra Deeney

      Jaku Fletcher Amat Kingsley

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

        There's no way that's affordable but nice try.

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

          Oops, sorry!! You're right: Lukaku instead of Ibra!

    6. Bolivian Seaman

      One of the biggest jokes in the premiership: the tanoy at everton

    7. Liastro ⭐️
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      No Alexis baps?

      1. Mithrandir, the Grey Pilgri…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Or Walcott.

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

      Bonus points

      Chadli 3, Payet 2, Rondon 1
      KDB 3, Sterling 2, Nacho 1
      Fuchs/Slimani 3, Vardy/Simpson 2
      Iwobi 3, Snoddy 2, Jakupovic 1

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

        Vardy got some!?

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

        Jaku 🙂

      3. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        No BAPS for Sanchez is a joke.

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

        As Vardy captainer, hope this is right

      5. SW6
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        IF Fuchs and Slimani both get 3 Vardy and Simpson get 1, no?

      6. gaurava1216
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Iwobi gonna keep his spot?

    9. JasonG123
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      In this worth a -8 or just WC?

      Stones, Hazard and Costa out, and Holebas, Sterling and Kun in

      1. Hybrid.power
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Not worth it imo

        1. JasonG123
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Not worth the -8, the WC or neither?

    10. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Absolute snoozefest so far

    11. The Man Pastore
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Thoughts on this Ibraless WC:

      Heaton l Pickford
      Valencia l Baines l Holebas l Pieters l Amat
      Sanchez l Mane l Firmino l Snodgrass l Capoue
      Kun l Lukaku l Deeney

      1. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Mane for Sterling, upgrade Deeney. Then it's perfection.

        1. The Man Pastore
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Deeney --> ?? Not a fan of anyone in that price braket

    12. semiconductor
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Which option would u prefer?1. Benteke and sterlingOr2. Lukaku and antoni

        Keepers at risk of being dropped. Get 1 nailed keeper.

    16. Mithrandir, the Grey Pilgri…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Get rid of Hazard instead of Sanchez to afford Kun?

      1. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
        • 9 Years

        I would

    17. gaurava1216
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Here we goo... WC team 🙂

      Stones likely to miss out once Kompany fit?

      Jaku Pickford

      Stones Shaw Morgan Friend Amat

      Sterling Firmino Antonio Chadli Capoue

      Aguero Zlatan Lukaku

      Thoughts?

    18. Team Zissou
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Who scores more..

      A. Aguero, Costa, Lukaku

      B. Aguero, Zlatan, any 6.5

      Got to be A. right?

      1. gaurava1216
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        A

    19. Exdeo
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      any chance Pep plays both - Kun and Nacho against Swans?

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

        I'm keeping Nacho and getting Kun.

      2. Jimmy Boy
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Aguero will always be preffered up front no matter how well Nacho plays

      3. gaurava1216
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        He has to surely!

        Any chance Stones Dropped when Kompany fit?

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

          no idea, but if Pep goes Stones over Kompany when fully fit then I don't know nothing about football...

      4. Team Zissou
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        If somehow they play together going forward I'll have both..

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

          that's the point, I transferred Nacho with idea tu get Kun back with one FT and now I can do Negredo - Kun and have them both...this GWs headache

    20. Aiden6375
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Having trouble deciding my WC to get kun back. Keep swapping. Think I've come to a conclusion.

      Heaton/jaku
      Shaw, Walker, baines, McAuley, Kingsley
      Capoue, Antonio, coutinho, Bolasie, de bryune
      Costa, Aguero, Negredo

      Thoughts? Can't seem to make my mind up at the minute.
