Sunday afternoon treats us to a pair of Premier League fixtures, with Everton hosting West Ham at Goodison in the early kick-off.

The Toffees’ Romelu Lukaku clinched second place in this week’s Captain Poll, having scored or assisted in five of the previous six Gameweeks.

Those who opted for the big Belgian over yesterday’s two-goal heroes Alexis Sanchez and Sergio Aguero will be hoping he extends a record that has seen him score in all eight appearances against the Hammers since moving to Merseyside.

Yannick Bolasie – with attacking points in four of his previous six – will also fancy his chances against a defence that’s conceded nine times in four away fixtures.

Dimitri Payet is the Hammers’ form player, serving up a goal and five assists in six since making his first start of the season in Gameweek 4.

Michail Antonio has dropped in price in each of the last three Gameweeks due to a four-match drought, yet he looks set to reprise a role up front today, having led the line in West Ham’s midweek cup win over Chelsea.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

          Deeney?

        • The Bandit

          If you ad up the three weeks before today 😉

        • OLEgend
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Yes. I brought in Deeney for a hit and gave him the armband which was on Lukaku all week long.

        • Chucky
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          yeah i will join you after Costa blanks 🙁

          I'm the worst this week. Zlatan c for a hit.

          9 years, 6 months ago

          Jay, the Deeney capt was such an unnecessary punt. Why? Do that on the weeks where aren't great options, bro!

          1. walkman666
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 6 months ago

            And I also own a Deeney.

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

        Lukaku is essential. Been thinking about shipping him out on and off, but he is just the sole threat for Everton and could have had 3 goals in the second half.

      3. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Shame for Lukaku captainers! He was amazing there, could have had 3 and 2 assists

      4. Big Red Dog
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Unlucky for Lukaku captainers.. Could've had a couple more goals not to mention some assists today! What a performance from Everton and him.

      5. FPL_Hazards
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        87 with the Welsh Pirlo to come, should hit the 100 mark

        1. fordy049
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          92 with Austin to come! What a game week. Might sneak into the top 10k

        2. walkman666
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          91 with Arnie to come. 35 last week. Got to post both.

      6. Pompel
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Lukaku points + Coleman CS , pretty chuffed with that.
        Now come on Austin!

      7. Davidinho
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Williams 1 bap

        1. Numb
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Not finalised though

          1. Davidinho
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 6 months ago

            true

      8. Vatroslav
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Lukaku pen goal would've got me 100 points...

        1. Bolivian Seaman
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          4 points

          1. EmreCan Hustle
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 6 months ago

            lol

      9. HurriKane
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Need 11 points from Austin Pieters and Amat to reach a century

        Possible ?

        1. Numb
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Not sure Amat is going to help but possible.

        2. Tommyg
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Yep. Stoke clean sheet.

        3. SMELL MY CHEESE YOU MOTHER
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Amat unlikely to play, but fingers crossed for a Stoke cleanie!

      10. LeicesterA
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        When you should be happy of an 80+ score but realise your league leader who is already 100 points ahead is on for a 100+ week. I cannot fathom how every stroke of luck (skill?) has fell their way every single week.

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

          It will even out over the whole season. Keep going

          1. LeicesterA
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 6 months ago

            Thanks. Keep telling myself that. Only issue is things becoming slightly more template as we go, the opportunity to build diminishes. Just hoping he blows chip use.

            I mean, he's top 100OR so shouldn't feel too bad I suppose.

        • 16 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Ffs Williams did get a bp..annoying when it changes like that

        1. walkman666
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          He intercepted a pass towards the end of stoppage time. The Coutinho baps scam is far more bizarre.

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

            You think they throw points at him? Can never trust fpl unfortunately they do what they want and favour high ownership players..Probably to limit the complaints they get..morons

      12. Budweiser
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        85 points with Shaqiri to play after BPS. Will I get a green arrow? Wish I captained Aguero instead of Sanchez 🙁

        1. Venom Snake
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Lol

        2. Eskimooo
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Are you taking the piss ?

      13. Stats Don\'t Lie
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Looks like my capoue + kun > kaku + cout move wasnt so bad. Feeling confident as both cout and kaku could've easily had significantly larger hauls.

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

        Aguero, Lukaku and Sanchez all smashed it. Happy days

        1. Dušan Citizen
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          If I only had Sanchez...

          But hope Costa can do something also

        2. Licious Lizard
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Yep They have payed off. Shouldn't have captained Zlatan though :/

      15. Venom Snake
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Lukaku + baps puts me at 79 points with Pieters and Arnautovic left to play. I was due a good week eventually...

        1. davies
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          85 with Arnie and Austin

          Praying for a century

      16. cruzex
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Thank you for all Lukaku...

        But yerterday i had to sell you...to buy coutinho.

        Your fixtures are so bad 🙁

      17. davies

        Nice little parting gift from Williams

        Hello Fuchs.

        1. Numb
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          You're getting rid just as he's starting to get points?

          1. Eskimooo
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 6 months ago

            Erm ....fixtures

            • 11 Years
            9 years, 6 months ago

            Wrong way to think it. Future > past in this game.

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

          Has Swansea at home soon!

      18. tm245
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Someone here has to be near 100?
        Sanchez Firmino Coutinho
        Aguero Lukaku
        pretty common around these parts.

        1. ★Kuntheman★
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          If Costa bags a hatty I'm at 101.

        2. Venom Snake
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Have all those players but won't hit 100

        3. Conk
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Throw heaton into the mix and that's me

        4. Rasping Drive
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          87 with Allen and Austin to come. Fingers crossed.

        5. FPL Puppy
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          I'm very close with just Allen left. Lets see what happens tomorrow...

        6. tm245
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Good luck all, I'll be in your rear view mirror.

        7. walkman666
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          If Arnie scores, my 91 will be close.

        8. Fluctus de Mutilatio
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          88 with costa siggy Allen to go. Fingers crossed.

      19. Dušan Citizen
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        63 after bonus (if Williams keep 1 bonus) with Tadic, Costa and Pieters to go.

        Solid?

        1. Stats Don\'t Lie
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

        • 10 Years

        84 with Costa and Grant to play. And no Sanchez. Absolutely stoked.

      24. fedolefan
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Well, looks like the captaincy choice didn't matter all that much if you had Aguero, Lukaku and Sanchez.

        1. Black Panther
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          I have all 3 of them and captained Zlatan 🙁

      25. Surgical Attack

      26. some witty pun
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        __ points with _ players to play. Look at how good i am!

        1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          No it's 500 points with 700 players to play . Is this any good ?

      27. Syd.
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

      29. Jazz!
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Lukaku > Defoe GW8 was the worst gut transfer ever.

        1. Venom Snake
          • 12 Years

          Ouch
