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.

    Jaku is a sick keeper

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years

      Has he got the flu?

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

        wasn't Jaku's place under threat?

  2. 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

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

      A hit?

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

      Concentrate on getting Kun first.

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

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

    Template cheap mid:
    Firmino - Sterling - Antonio - Snodgrass - Capoue
    Ibra - Lukaku - Kun

    Template balanced attack:
    Alexis - Firmino - Antonio - Snodgrass - Capoue
    Kun - Lukaku - Deeney

    1. ChelseaKTBFF
      • 12 Years

      you can get the first with hazard in place of firmino if you minted money in the first few GW

      1. Ten Season Wonder
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        only a madman would choose Haz over Firm thooooo

  4. Slam

    Lukaku injury bad?

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

      Looks like a knock.

    2. Hy liverpool
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Not serious from what I heard

    3. Mr. Blonde
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      not at all - would be absolutely astonished if he didn't start next week

      He should be afraid to show his face for a while after lying that he got a touch 😉

  5. supersham
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Is it too early to pull the trigger on Haz to Firmino?

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

      No

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

      Firmino might be injured before the next GW.

  6. xtina
    • 14 Years

    sterling or antonio?

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

      My question too...

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

      Depends on what you do with the funds... Antonio looks the better choice anyways though!

    3. thepeen555
      • 9 Years

      Ant if u have mcfc cover already

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

        cheers! have stones & will have aguero back

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

    Hazard + Redmond + Costa --> Bolasie + Firmino + Aguero (-8 hit)?

    Need to do it tonight before Redmond drop. Yay or Nay?

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

    So how was Cech pulling man down not a red? Last man clear goal opportunity foul given.

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

      New rules.

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

      Going away from goal...

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

        Agree with no red personally. Great chance there hated the straight red.

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

        Rounding the keeper though
        Hardly running in opposite direction of the goals

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

      It's not an automatic red now.

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

      There's new rules on triple punishment

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

    Worth choosing Alexis over Kun?

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

      Never.

    2. Hy liverpool
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      No

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

      U must be insane to contemplate it - good luck to u

    Vardy Lukaku Tekkers

    A. Vardy +Haz→Kun +Antonio -4
    B. Vardy +Snoddy→Deeney +Mane -4 *WCing gw8 *

  11. PvA

    1. PvA

  13. FF Dirtbag

    Keeper should save that xkaha chance

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

    doubling up on Mane & Firmino for HUL & swa... is that overkill?

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

      Might pay off! Who you losing?

  18. The Royal Robin
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Green arrow - 46,796. So far so good.

  19. Back on the horse
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Bolasie or Chadli?

    1. The Royal Robin
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I'm going for Chadli.

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

    You whinge when they act fast and get the decision wrong. Now you moan that he took his time and got the right decision...

    Come on lads - what's 10 seconds if the decision is right!

  21. cantcatchabreak
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    pick 1

    snodgrass
    chadli
    bolasie (already have lukaku)
    anyone 7.3 and under (already have antonio)

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

      Chadli

  22. Calafiorication
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Has there been a weekend (FPL-wise) with as many uncertainty as this? Sanchez, Negredo and the most controversial one Lukaku!

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

    Hazard to Alexis straight swap? Already have Costa...

    Or is it imperative to bring in Aguero?

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

      aguero is a must.

  24. Meme2011
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Will Costa rise to 10m in next few days?

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

      Looking at the trend, probably not. People trying to get in Aguero.

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

    Overall rank - 160k - happy with that in my first proper season. Get in.

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

    Thoughts on this:

    Lloris
    Williams - Holabas - Pieters - Monreal - Amat
    KDB - Antonio - Firmino - £6.6m - De Roon.
    Benteke - Aguero - Lukaku.

    ???

  27. KING_ZLATAN

    Damn . Had San(C)hez and VC Lukaku .. can't believe there's no bonus for my captain. If only Sanchez scored that penalty, we would be looking at a 20pointer performance ..

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

    Why is Chadli being shown in Spurs in the Team news as injured?

  29. FantasyFreak
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Repost, final check,

    Foster Jaku
    Pieters Evans Stones Shaw Amat
    Mahrez Capoue Hazard Redmond Ramirez
    Lukaku Ibra Gray

    Mahrez->Sterling
    Gray->Aguero

    0.0 ITB, good to go?

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

      GTG

  30. The Royal Robin
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    I'm not bringing Aguero in this week. Lukaku is too tempting.
