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.

    Three defenders playing from three separate teams. I fully expect to not have any clean sheets by the end of these games.

    The assist for Swansea's goal will be reviewed before the Bonus Points are finalised #SWALIV #FPL

  11. Thomas Magnum
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Are there any current goalkeepers in the prem right now who have scored a goal in a game?

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Begovic

    2. mipola
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      I think Foster scored one a couple of seasons back.

      1. Jasoooooooo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        According to FPL, Foster has an assist but no goals

        1. mipola
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          It was Begovic, my bad.

          1. Volley127
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 6 months ago

            He did concede on to Robinson back in the day though

        2. Cojiro
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Was going to say, it was an assist

    3. Jasoooooooo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Begovic has

    4. PvA
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Begovic when he scored from a big kick

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

      Begovic against Boruc?

      Pretty much ended Boruc's career at SOU from memory but I could be wrong.

      1. Jasoooooooo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah I'm pretty sure it was Begovic vs Boruc

    6. bojack
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Butland got an assist against Leicester last year didn't he. Not a goal, but something.

    7. Thomas Magnum
      • 10 Years

    A bit of help from the community please?

    My defence needs major surgery before next gw with Baines, PVA and Galloway.

    Which defenders at 5mil and under should I be watching this gw?

    I'm thinking Cedric and/or Daniels at BOU? Any other suggestions?

    1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Smith over Daniels
      Holebas

      NOT STONES

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

        Thanks.

        Already have Holebas and Amat. My only two playing defenders for the past 2 gws, and they scored me a massive 1pt between them last gw.

        Not interested in Stones at all.

        Only reason I was thinking Daniels is because he's a slight differential, and should Wilson be off the pitch or injured then Daniels will also get pens as second in line.

    2. PvA
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Those 2 and Chambers

      1. devils advocate
        • 11 Years

        Yep Chambers not a bad shout, thanks.

  28. Fowler23

    West Ham Boro game is really terrible

  29. Net Gains
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    In the weird position of having Luke Shaw in my XI but McAuley on the bench so I kinda want a WBA clean sheet in case Shaw doesn't play but I also have Defoe!
