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.

    Everton are such a team of trolls. Whenever I bring any of their players in they blank consistently well.

      What after 25mins? Someone get this bloke a tissue

      1. Danstoke82
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Tissue not needed. I'm talking about my entire history with Everton players in the 3 seasons I have played this game.

        1. Holding Mee Bong
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Clearly never owned Gareth Barry then

          1. Danstoke82
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            Nope and I don't plan too either!

      • 16 Years

  9. Les Bleus
    • 14 Years

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

      Bought Baines this week just so I could bench Friend 😆

  10. Walden
    • 9 Years

  11. Chucky

    Friend and Jaku waiving at me from the bench with Capoue

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

    Webb gives decisions based on where the game is being played? Hmmm

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

      Gave plenty at OT.

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

    Are we Sterling non owners still in denial, or is he a nailed on player?

    It's making me sick to watch him keep racking up the points whilst I continue to tell myself he's a rotation risk.

    I need some convincing please?

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

      We have to get him in

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

    Barry owned by 5 percent ... Strange

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

      He is very cheap @ 4.6m

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

      Probably bought like me for most people's benches! As he's a regular starter

    Typical, sold Friend this week to get Baines in

    1. Grand Thibauto
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Williams but yeah.

  22. thunder_mike
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Surely that is an OG, not a Negrado goal.

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

      It is

      1. thunder_mike
        • 13 Years

        Cheers

    2. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years

    Lol the commentator just said here comes the rampaging Gueye

    1. Jay_
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Thought he was injured with a groin strain

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

      Pass it Barkley you idiot

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

      Just watched a reply of the O.G. how was not a foul by negredo?!

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

      Barkley ignoring Lukaku, good man.

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

        This 😎

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

      Pass the ball Barkely!!

      Keep Sanchez and find another way to get Aguero is the right way to go or sell Sanchez?

      1. Big Sum
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Keep Sanchez

      2. Darth Crooks
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Same dilemma mate, no idea. Fancy Sanchez with those fixtures so might try to get rid of Hazard but it makes my mid weaker than if I was getting rid of Sanchez. Tough call.

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

      Did Stekelenburg get a YC or was I seeing things?

      1. thunder_mike
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Yes

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

          OK, thanks! Mate of mine has him in his team, so even better than just the OG. 😆
