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.

    Red card for Leicester means less saves for Grant. I ll take that 🙂

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

      ez pieters CS

    2. Kroosin'
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      *saves to make

    3. Over Midwicket
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      It means a guaranteed clean sheet and probably 3 BAPs as both teams are shocking

  2. Over Midwicket

    9 years, 4 months ago

    Vardy is such a thug.. Clapping as he was going off and shouting at his team xD

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

      Will they include that in the new FIFA update?

  3. Venom Snake

    Lol @ hull trying to set up their wall

  4. itwaswritten

    9 years, 4 months ago

    Why can't Defoe just score a goal.

    I'm about to have a meltdown.

      ohhhh dear oh dear oh dear....

      Chill out

    So the solution to Austin > was..

    GW15: Austin > Okaka (C)
    GW16: Okaka > Rondon (C)
    GW17: Rondon > Negredo (C)

    1. StalkingDwarf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Pretty obvious in hindsight

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

      3 donkeys

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

      What I went for is Austin>Nacho(-4)
      Nacho 0 pointer last week
      Nacho>Carroll(-4)

      What a way to lose some points

  6. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
    • 10 Years

    Attempted assist by Pickford? Lel, would've been nice!

    1. Kryten
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Holebas and Pickford top two bps :/

  7. La Roja
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Already 5 saves for Grantinho

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      As long as Pieters gets a CS, Grant can save 20 for all I care.

      1. L'Aeroplanino
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        I would take that

  8. itwaswritten
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Can Siggy at least score a goal.

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

    Friend is going to come on in about the 84th minute isn't he? I have Pieters first on bench.

    1. thepeen555
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      76th min

  10. Dušan Citizen
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Carroll is too far from Hull's goal.

    1. StalkingDwarf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Quite annoying when Payet runs into the box, passes and no one is there to support him.

      1. Dušan Citizen
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Agree

  11. L9
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    do we buy grant or will he return to derby on january? i ve read that derby is asking 4m and stoke wont give them

  12. FPL Emu
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Hah, I captained Siggy to get a differential. Could perhaps have timed that better

    1. Venom Snake
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      It's early and he could still score, but very silly move imo

  13. Over Midwicket
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Anyone ditching Siggy despite the good fixtures?

    1. BabyB
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      No

    2. Filthbomb
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Yes unless he scores today

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

    claudio ranieri out?

    1. Kryten
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

  15. FALCAO & MOU
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Payet second continuous week (C). He just wants to see me burn, doesn't he?

    1. Camp No No
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      50 minutes left, don't fall in despair. He's the attack West Ham has, if they score, it's probably through him.

      1. FALCAO & MOU
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        It wasn't last week, that is my problem.

        1. thepeen555
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          This is why I asked about putting in eriksen instead but told I was bonkers - we will see

  20. tm245
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Slimani could be a great differential. Awkward price, but I think he is on PKs.

    1. StalkingDwarf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

    Got to feel for the remaining Fuchs owners.

    1. Over Midwicket
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Only themselves to blame

    2. Camp No No
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I don't give a Fuchs.

  30. Camp No No
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Vardy, 10% ownership and net 50k transfers in for this GW. It's not a completely negligible -2 pointer, we can be happy about it. 😀

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

      Top 1k average is 19 inspite of me owning hazard costa alonso that's whats scary

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

        Probably because 99% of the top 1k own Hazard, Costa and Alonso.
