With European football forcing a reschedule, us Fantasy managers suffer a reduced Saturday programme made up of just a quartet of three o’clock kick-offs.

Our main focus is likely to be the London Stadium, where we will be tracking West Ham’s progress against Middlesbrough following four straight defeats. Michail Antonio looks poised to play up front today and carries the hopes of 18% of Fantasy Premier League managers, with almost 13% still keeping faith in Dimitri Payet.

Chelsea are another side with ailing form, although 26% still take Diego Costa into the Blues’ trip to Hull City, with another 20% holding Eden Hazard. Antonio Conte starts both Marcus Alonso and Victor Moses at the KCOM today, with Branislav Ivanovic dropping to the bench.

Elsewhere, Jermain Defoe’s 12% ownership will be hoping for a repeat performance from their striker after his brace in the 3-2 defeat to Crystal Palace in Gameweek 6. The Black Cats take on West Brom at the Stadium of Light, with Gareth McAuley found in 26% of FPL squads.

Watford’s Vicarage Road meeting with Bournemouth completes Saturday programme, with Fantasy managers set to re-assess the form of Walter Mazzarri’s assets following Monday’s disappointing defeat at Burnley.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    From defensive crisis to best defensive score this season in 5.7 minutes.

    And some people want to argue this isn't a game of luck? 🙂

    I'll take it!

    1. Thomas Magnum

      PVA owner?

      1. devils advocate
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Yep, and Holebas.

        Saved me considering Baines, Galloway and Amat are my other defenders.

        Hoping that PVA goal saves me a transfer and Moyes realizes he can't bench one of his best attacking assets.
