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.

    Regarding "cover".

    Logically, it's nonsense. However, The Scout is also legitimising it in The Watchlist.

    I mean does Azpi not deserve a place there?

    Even if you fancy Alonso; it shouldnt stop Azpi being on the list.

    It's not the right time for this post, but if any mods/contributors see this I think they should raise the point.

    The notion of cover is outdated and as the best FF advice site out there FFS should not be justifying it.

    1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…

      Totally agree. I'm relatively new here but the idea of "cover" makes no sense.

      Cover works in defence where all defenders get the CS. Not so much elsewhere where only goals/assists do.

      Defensive cover is an excellent strategy, not sure what you mean.
