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.

    is it Martins-Indi or Indi-Martins ? commentators never seem sure

    1. Bellerinmondo

      9 years, 4 months ago

      magnificent page top!

    2. Greenbackbøøg…

      Bruno Martins Indi

      Commentators in this country are usually ex footballers and therefore illiterate morons.

      Don't pay attention to anything they say. Much safer that way...

    4. dark91
      • 10 Years

      It's Bruno Martins Indi

    5. JÆKS ⭐

    Hopefully I'm going to be happy in captaining Kane over Costa.

        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Haha my rival captained Costa, so I need this Kane brace at least!

        1. Pep bites Kun
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

    1. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Aye, I wouldn't expect a cleanie against Bou. Bou are bat poo crazy and can do anything.

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

    2. Over Midwicket

    1. Grand Thibauto
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

  5. Scotty B
    • 13 Years

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

    Costa captainers are you wishing you'd have captained Kane?

    1. Oven Glover
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I wish I had a girl with a phone I would call her..

    2. mcrayeps

    3. evilfish
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

    4. red devil 7
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      no

    5. Pauntley
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      No don't trust Kane to deliver - can sleep at night knowing some points in the bag

    6. Shultan
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I captained costa so expect kane to get 2 goals, i rarely get a decision right this season

  25. Shultan
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    I understand why those who bought costa at 10.6 or 10.7 would sell & buy back later it makes total sense..... but i find it ridiculous those who bought at lower price like 9.6 & 9.7 are asking if they should sell?
    Do they have 0.5/0.6 to waste?!

    1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Shhh....just go about your day.

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

        Good advice, if people have money then i should keep quiet & let them!

    2. Rostah
