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.

    Hazard is one of the streakiest players in FPL. Wish I could figure out the reasons behind his hauls.

    1. Jafooli
      • 13 Years

      Supermoons

        Nice, finally a reason!

    2. Chris_White
      • 14 Years

      It's coming in the next two.

  13. Karan_G14
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 days ago

    Costa worth selling?
    Got him at 10.7.
    He'll likely to fall by 0.2 so that's 10.8.
    Wouldn't loose much only 0.1 and can get Ibra.

    Appreciate your thoughts!

    1. Deulofail
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      Costa would be my first choice in my dreamteam if I could WC. I wouldn't sell unless I could tell the future and the future is bad for him or better for Ibra

    2. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      • 9 Years

    What's everyone doing with Costa whos drop will lose them value?

    1. Guru Mediation
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      Not sure everyone is going to reply to be fair.

    2. Karan_G14
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      Anyone who got him at 10.5 and under shouldn't even think of it.

  16. RoysCallerAnne
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years

    No Chelsea defender has completely killed my rank. Big points hit incoming.

      Thinking the same

      How're you finding it?
