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.

    Dwight Gayle is seriously smashing it: 16 in 17 now, with 1 assist to boot.

    1. greghammer95
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      I would say madness as he has great fixtures coming up, in fact I still will. Madness, only thing that's changed is he's playing deeper now.

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

          • 9 Years
          9 years, 3 days ago

          I believe him Worzel.

          • 16 Years
          9 years, 3 days ago

      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      Payet over Erikson
      Nacho over Origi
      Alonso over Azpi

      Keep getting the 50/50 decisions wrong.

    8. Bouncebackability
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

    9. Ógie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      The best thing West Ham could do now is haul off Caroll i can not remember him taking a shot or making a chance

    13. Dedalus1
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      De Roon you're supposed to sit on the bench, not to score!

    14. tm245
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      'Boro are pretty solid at home, not sure what the expectations were for Siggy from this game.

      1. Greenbackbøøg…
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 3 days ago

        To not be losing 3-0 was a start

    15. Clump
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      Loads of Costa sales already. No surprise to see most going to Ibra.
