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.

    Im sure Bolasies cross clipped Barkley before lukaku scored. Surely Barkley assist

      Just seen him on MOTD. He's like a schoolboy player. That hoof straight up in the air in his own box was hilarious 🙂

    Tried to stick Alexis, KdB, Aguero and Lukaku in the same WC team.

    What do you think about this?

    Jaku - Pickford
    Valencia - Williams - Evans - Holebas - Amat
    Alexis - KdB - Firmino - Capoue - Fletcher
    Aguero - Lukaku - Benteke

    0.1 ITB

    1. Norman Conquest

      sexy

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

      Jakupovic AND Pickford are too risky together and they're not going to bring you many points. Capoue and Fletcher are just bad as 4th and 5th midfielder, Capoue is soon going to disappear.

      1. 824545201
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        I can do Benteke plus Fletcher to Fer and Rondon, don't know if that's good enough though.

      Midfield too weak.

  4. cantcatchabreak

    Hazard & Vardy -> Chadli & Aguero? for free

    1. Norman Conquest
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      yes if chadli recovers from injury

  5. thepoet85

    Antonio looked good, certainly value at £7.2

    1. thepeen555
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Yes he did

  6. DeeGee
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    1) Lukaku + Haz > Costa + Coutinho and then
    move Ibra > Aguero with a -4 hit.

    OR

    2) Lukaku + Haz > Kun + Snodgrass -> I have no Livpool or Chelsea cover but I keep Aguero and Ibra?

  7. thepeen555
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    56 points with 4 to play quite happy this week seeing as I didn't get time to change the team from last week

  8. PvA
    • 9 Years

      Sanchez and deeney

      Vs Ibra and snoddy

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

        I think Snoddy outscore a Deeney and Ibra out scores Sanchez over the season?

        • 11 Years

        Not on wildcard. Will cost me a -4. Haz, Ozil and Benteke players to make way. Obviously waiting to later in the week.

    Gary lineker on chadli

    "He must have got a lot of points in fantasy football, everyone seems to be obsessed with that at the moment"

    Lololol

    1. thepeen555
      • 9 Years

    There it is, Linekar mentioned FPL

    1. MTPockets
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Am I the only one who prefered when fpl wasn't so popular?

    2. korojmeister
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      why Holebas is effing popular now?

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

        Scored last week.

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

          OOP, great fixtures, cheap

      2. Camp No No
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Watford's good turn in fixtures, nailed on (?), cheap.

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

      Chadli 2 bps?

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

      This GW I had to chose between:

      Kane & Redmond + 4 points
      Iheanacho & Sanchez

      Went with the former. Need 16 points to break even......hmmmmmm we will see!

    5. I Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Mane or Firmino?

      1. Epic Fail
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        B

      2. F4L
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        firm

    6. Numb
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      How do you see how many points your players scored this week in Sky FF website? I can only seem to see cumulative points.

    7. F4L
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Any rotation risk for Sterling with the Nolito rc?

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

        Huh? What does Nolito's RC have to do with Sterling? If he's going to get rotated that's going to happen anyway, with Sanè and Silva playing for example. I still don't see Sanè starting in the PL for now, though.

    8. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
      • 12 Years

      Oh well onwards and upwards. Time for my Iggy, Tekkers, Zlatan(C) strikeforce to enter.

      Zzzz Zzzz Zzzz

    9. thepoet85

      FPL taking over from EPL 🙂

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

        I've said this for a while, FPL points will eventually become more important than the actual results, like in the US sports.

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

        I dont care about real football anymore. Only fpl and coupons

    10. rocky7st
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      a) Hazard + Gray > Kun + Chadli
      b) Hazard + Lamela + Gray > Kun + Sterling + Fer (-4)

    11. KeepCalm

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

      2 FTs and 0.4 in the bank, need Kun and ideally some Liverpool cover back but can't decide how 🙂

      Foster, Pickford
      Baines, Valencia, mcauley, Amat, Collins
      Cazorla, Hazard, Antonio, Ozil, Capoue
      Lukaku, zlat, benteke

    13. ☻ Jon Snow ☻

      About to bring in Firmino. His yellow flag should'nt be serious, right?

      1. Knowledgeable meerkat
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Already back training, he's fine

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

        Why not wait?

        1. ☻ Jon Snow ☻
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Cuz I need to bring him in now, otherwise I loose 0.1 on Gray
