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.

    How was slimani today worth doing
    Lukaku to sliamni to free up funds?

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

      Would he not be risk of rotation with Musa/Vardy/Osaki?

      1. Everyday im Schneiderlin
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Yes good point thanks

  3. Squires FC
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Cazorla, hazard & ibra --> iwobi, kdb & aguero -4?

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

      Is Iwobi nailed? not sure...

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

        He should be. Easily Arsenal's best player today, but he is a rotation risk.

        In saying that he did look to nail down a spot late last season and did excellent then also.

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

      No Iwobi.

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

    Who would be your Liverpool midfielder of choice? (Excluding Mane, already got him)

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

      Firmino.

    2. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Coutinho

  5. Differentiator
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    16 pt hit so tempting... Always try and part justify it by thinking "what if I get 75 points from my perfect team next week!".

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

      That's what I thought when I took a -12 now I'm sitting on a massive 14 points
