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.

  3. itwaswritten

    9 years, 5 months ago

    Bought Stelekelenburg for a -4 and this is what I get.

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

      Taking a hit for a keeper is a new one. Where's the logic in that

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

        There isn't any. I'm dumb.

    2. Mark-O
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Negative move and points go negative

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

      You should claim the other player involved in the transfers was for the hit

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

      Never take a hit for a GK.

  4. Total Foot 5
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Best duo pls on WC:

    1. Firmino + Coutinho (firmino is ok and will start next gw)
    2. KDB + Bolasie

    1. Backup Dancer
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      1. Not sure if kdb will be as good with kun in the team

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

        This

      2. Total Foot 5
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        if you had to go with one of these which?

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

    Hoping for Lukaku blank to compensate for Baines clean sheet gone

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

      Hoping for Barkley hattrick to get me fantasy points

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

      Hoping for nothing because hope is one of the worst things you could have in fpl

  6. Scotty B

    Heaton
    Collins Baines Shaw
    Antonio Ozil Hazard Sterling
    Ibrahimovic Lukaku Benteke

    Pickford Capoue Evans Amat

    Ozil & Lukaku >Snodgrass & Aguero my best transfers?

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

      See what Ibra does.

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

      Yes very good moves

  7. Giovanni Giorgio
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    This is shaping up to be a absolutely BRUTAL round for me. Desperately need Lukaku to score

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

      Only a matter of time before Lukaku scores.

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

      Yep, if captain Ibra doesn't produce I'm faaaaaaaaaarrrrrked!

      In other news, Barkley clearly hates Lukaku by the looks of this match.

  8. OPTA FPL
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Why didnt Williams get that assist?

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

      Pinball

    2. Viper
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Because it wasn't an assist. That's the long & short of it really

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

        Can't argue with that.

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

      The ball hit Negredo's back before rebounding to Barry. Thats why!

      1. OPTA FPL
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Negredo 2 assists

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

    This match is sooooo boring, but I'll be damned if I go to bed before I see who takes an Everton pen!!!

  11. Jakarta
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    How nailed is Iwobi, both at the moment, and once Ramsey is back?

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

      If you're asking the question, then he's not nailed on.

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

        BOOM!

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

        rude

  12. thep025
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Sterling or Sanchez?Sterling allows so much money elsewhere

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

      Yeah but can he take pens?

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

    Omg Barkley is so selfish!!

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

      And I love it, love it, love it.

    2. OPTA FPL
      • 14 Years

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

    People don't learn, getting Lukaku who is the biggest troll ever and also captain him

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

      lol @ Lukaku owners last GW.

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

        He is not playing Sunderland every week

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

          Source?

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

            LMAO!

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

      He's actually playing well.

    3. Forza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      A guy who just scored a hattrick and has a history of comfortably scoring 10+ goals every season?

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

        Lukaku won't be scoring 20+ goals, not in the same league as Aguero, Zlatan, Kane, Costa...

        1. Forza
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          All those players are more expensive. Aguero currently banned and injury prone, Kane goes on massive dry spells. You don't have to own him all season. I don't own him, but he's a great pick.

    4. Walden
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I've gotten 17pts from him so far, decent

    5. FPLEL
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      At least wait until full-time to say something this silly; then don't say it.

    6. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      He ll score in the second half.

    7. SC not pearls before swine
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      He had 1 point this time Monday as well

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

      Noob

  15. VS10_
    • 10 Years

    Barkley ruining everything.

  16. Sebbo29
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Barkley selfish again

    1. Just For Kicks
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Got pulled last game for giving the ball away, new tactic don't pass and he won't give it away.

  17. Fowler23

      Yes, assuming the League Cup match doesn't get cancelled.

      1. trequartista
        • 10 Years
