Saturday’s events continue with a quartet of three o’clock kick-offs.

From a Fantasy Football perspective, interest appears limited to Sunderland’s Stadium of Light encounter with Watford and West Ham’s meeting with Hull City at the London Stadium.

Jermain Defoe’s 25.4% ownership will have high hopes of the Black Cats’ marksman ahead of his collision with the Hornets defence.

Walter Mazzarri’s rearguard have shipped an average of two goals a game on their travels, a statistic that suggests that Defoe will have the opportunity to return to the scoresheet having blanked in his previous two Gameweek outings.

Much is expected of West Ham’s primary attacking asses – Dimitri Payet, Michail Antonio and Andy Carroll – against Hull City.

The Tigers arrive having conceded 20 goals in eight away matches, 35 overall this season – more than any other side on both counts.

Elsewhere, Swansea’s Gylfi Sigurdsson will carry the hopes of his 10.3% ownership into a Riverside Stadium meeting with Middlesbrough.

The home side shipped three goals in midweek to Liverpool, but, to that point, were resolute in defence, conceding seven goals over their seven previous outings on Teesside.

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

    What type of players are de Roon and Forshaw? Are they both defensive midfielders?

    1. Chris_White
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Yes

    Why don't substitute defenders get partial clean sheet points ... Like 2 points?

    1. Deano
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Friend for a 0.5 BP?

      Partial goals too?

      1. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        They do it in TFF.

        No such thing as a partial goal. Aren't you meant to help people as a mod, TM?

    3. Jimmers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      They get full points if they come on before 30 mins!

    Foster & Jones in this game

    So I would settle for a 7-0 victory to WBA 🙂

  6. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Started Brunt and benched Valencia. This may not go well 🙂

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years

      That's mental. 😆

      1. Chris_White

    Cue De Roon, Allen, Pickford, PVA benching posts!

  8. sambyy

    What's Kane's EO, top 10k or overall? Payet C failed miserably and now I'm terrified.

    1. Hooky
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      65% in top 10k

  9. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Benched De Roon, Allen, Pickford & PVA 🙁

    1. Danstoke82
      • 11 Years

      Ouch

    2. NATSTER
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      That made me feel better.

      De Roon & Pickford here.

      1. Phil Dagger ⭐
        • 9 Years

        he is just joking 😀

        How did a blank post get through the filter 8-/

  10. The Big Fella
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    How many points is everybody on? I have had a dismal week so far with just 18 points. Sanchez (c) to go along with Kane, Walker, Origi and Firmino. Chose Grant over Pickford too *sigh*

    1. Sailboats
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      17 from 5... terrible

    2. Jimmers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      9 from 3

    3. Digital-Real
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      22 from 5. Captain to play.

    4. Iceball
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      19 from 4

    5. walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      19 from 5. Hazard my biggest disappointment, and a boneheaded decision to start Foster over Pickford. Foster could still provide points, but I'm not sure what I was thinking here...

    6. Siva Mohan
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      38 from 6

      captain plays tomorrow..

  11. Danstoke82
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Costa or Kane > Ibra 1FT?

    1. justmatt
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I'm still on Kane > Zlatan

      1. Danstoke82
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Feels weird keeping a banned player!

        But then it is Costa right?!

    2. SUAREZ_MESSI_COUTINHO
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Costa.

  12. justmatt
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Kane to zlatan still look a decent transfer next week with the Costa suspension? Think I'll just bench him.

    1. walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I think if one bought costa cheap, then Kane to zlat. If one bought costa recently, then maybe costa to zlat, and then Kane to costa following gw.

  13. The 12th Man
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Is getting rid of Hazard before two home games madness?
    Enables Pieters > Azpi to go alongside Alonso.

    Then Kane or Ibra > Costa when he returns.

    Alternatively do Pieters,Origi > Azpi,Anichibe and keep Hazard for the 2 home games.

    1. Deano
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Raving! I will C him next week.

    2. Phil Dagger ⭐
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      u sound like Azpi is essential 😛

    3. Pino
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      yes its madness

  14. New Post
  15. James101
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    How much will Costa go down before he next plays?

    I'd lose £0.4 selling him now (though I'd make at least £0.1 on Zlat I guess.

    Any of you tempted to just keep him.l?

  16. We Will Klopp you
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    A) Defoe out for Origi FT
    B) Hazard and Smith out for Lallana and Azpi
    C) Do nothing, Save FT

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      C

  17. EmreCan Hustle
    • 13 Years

    27 from 6. How is it in these parts?

    Not a brag, that comes later 🙂

    1. We Will Klopp you
      • 9 Years

      26 from 5 for me, captain Eriksen yet to play.

  18. Niemi
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Heaton (MID)
    Clyne (STK) - Alonso (BOU) - Holebas (CRY)
    Hazard (BOU) - Sanchez (WBA) - Eriksen (sot) - Sigurdsson (WHU)
    Origi (STK) - Lukaku (lei) - Costa***

    Bench: De Roon (bur), Evans (ars), B. Smith (che)

    2FT, 0.1ITB. What to do? Tempted to do a very dull move and bring in Friend or Chambers for Evans and play 4-4-2 next GW.

  19. Stevecat
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Payet is going for me. Would you have siggy or Pogba as his replacement? Fixtures are nice for both, Swansea are garbage, united improving, but siggy is a lot more attacking.

    Help required please.

    Thanks

    This Brunt defender playing as wing will he keep his place?
    Cedric > Brunt ?
