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

    Gueye out for Chelsea game. Barry will be too if he picks up a yellow.

    2. Kryten
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Then Costa trolls and gets booked

    3. HurriKane

    4. Jimmers

      • 15 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Costa could get a yellow too!

    Very strange performance by Everton

    So slow and lazy

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

      Been like this since Sunderland.

  3. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Why isn't Antonio on FKs?

    1. Brap.
      • 9 Years

      Can't header them

    Ibra captainer here.

    I just watched Match Of The Day.

    Now I feel physically sick! 🙂

    1. km79

      are you keeping him ?

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

        He is going to go big soon, but I have no Liverpool mids or Sanchez. He is the only way I'll be able to fund them.

    2. ★Kuntheman★

      That last minute miss 🙂

        Captainer here too...

        :S:S:S He could get me 50 points in that game:S

        You keeping?

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

          Luckily don't have him. Aguero-Costa-Lukaku here. 🙂

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

            Thanks for the gloat! This is a mournful group, let us grieve! Ha

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

          The annoying thing is, some rivals played Heaton so not only did I not get a potential 30pt haul (or more!) from Ibra, they get double digits from him as well!

          I'm looking into it. I've kept so long now I don't know what to do. But I need Liverpool mids.

    3. wormface
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Will you keep him ?

      1. km79
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        I can do Ibrahim to Austin and Antonio to coutinho\firminofor free OR bellerin to Fuchs and same mid move for free OR foster to grant , capoue to de roon and same mid move -4 (protect TV as well ) OR same 2 mid moves and bony to Austin -4 .........ibra dropped last night so i would prefer to wait and see how bony does first. Capoue dropping tonight affects my resale though and my TV is being hammered with Antonio and ibra as it is

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

          Yeah my transfer funds have been crushed this season. A bad WC, and bad luck not helping, but captain choices absolutely killing me.

  5. Jimmers
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Ref forgot his shaving cream today?

  6. Bellerinmondo
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Valencia should have sat nearer the edge of the row in case he needs to get away quickly

  7. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Lukaku to Costa?

    1. Jafooli
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      😀

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

      Lukaku Costa to much

  8. itwaswritten
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Can West Ham score already. I don't care who scores.

  9. johnbarnes
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Am I mental to still be reluctant to selling Ibra? I watched the game yesterday and - as usual - he had a million chances, isn't that what you want out of your striker?
    (76 points w/ Lukaku and Redmond to go, so not really a tragedy having Ibra)

    1. Brap.
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Well, no, you want goals

      Anyone can get chances

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

      You still have Ibrat? Tragique.

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

      If i had him id be tempted to keep , not a captain choice though , at the moment anyway

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

    Also feel like a lot of Everton's attackers work on a 'shoot on sight' basis when they could look for better options

  11. itwaswritten
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Lukakz OUT!

    But don't know who to transfer instead. PL Forwards suck. So little good options...

  12. JayBomb
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Is that the end of Jags then is it time to get rid?

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

    Son & Allen -> Redmond & Chadli?

  14. Leaf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Antonio may have stats , but he doesn't actually look very good

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

      He isn't very good

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

      Exactly. Every one is freaking out on losing him when he's upfront. But he's not a very intelligent player regardless.

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

        Unfortunatly i think your right

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

    Yerterday i had to sell lukaku for Gray..to get funds to buy coutinho.

    At the moment i am feeling good.

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

      Solid moves maybe

  16. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Swear whenever I watch Everton they are the most frustrating, lazy, sloppy team to watch.

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

      West ham decent price for the win , im tempted

  20. Goodricke
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Anyone else captain Deeney over Snachez and Aguero?

    1. itwaswritten
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      People captained Deeney over them? Oh FPL-ers. Never change!

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

      I thought of it for about one second...lol. Thank God I chickened out

    3. Sess!
      • 15 Years

      Ridiculous decision.

    4. Goodricke
      • 10 Years

      Just need an Ashley Williams hattrick and clean sheet to balance my week.

  21. The Man Pastore
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    I have Aguero/Sanchez/Firmino/Coutinho and i captained... Lukaku! Brilliant

    1. Eskimooo

      Didn't realise the game had finished .....

        he is wearing the troll boots today

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

          Just wait till the game finishes ........

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

          Maybe refrain from making such stupid comments in the future

  22. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years

    Trollkaku is back

    1. itwaswritten

      To the trashcan.

  23. Jafooli

    Sunderland, Hull, Swansea to go down?

    1. Krul Runnings
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Sunderland, hull defo

      1. Sess!

        9 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah 🙁

        1. Jafooli
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Reckon BFS will be back before too long Sess?

    2. The Enlightener
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Sunderland has no shot at staying up if something doesn't change. They need a new manager, for one. A miracle signing or two in the Jan transfer window as well. Hull looks in trouble too. Swansea I could see staying up. Some good players there, all things considered.

  24. Licky
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    I want my wildcard back...

  25. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 13 Years

    Kak being the operative word for the Everton number 10 today.

  26. Parm
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    Just sold Lukaku. Had enough of him not scoring after 43 minutes of a 90 minute football match.

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

      This

    2. itwaswritten
      • 9 Years

      Name one Striker in the FPL that has more points besides Costa. I'll wait...

      1. Parm
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years

        Lukaku after this game 😎

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

        I think it's a joke

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

      All of his goals against Sunderland came in the second half.

  27. Kaneyonero

    When's Lukaku coming on?

  28. EmreCan Hustle

  29. Brap.

    This has devolved into donkball now

  30. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Everton looks like 11 players that has never played together before.
