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.

    The Vardy Party is on!

  3. Kroosin'

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

    1. Sailboats

      ez pieters CS

    2. Kroosin'

    3. Over Midwicket
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

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

  4. Over Midwicket

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

    1. Fred54
      • 10 Years

      Will they include that in the new FIFA update?

    Why can't Defoe just score a goal.

    I'm about to have a meltdown.

    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, 3 days ago

      Pretty obvious in hindsight

    2. Tansey

      3 donkeys

    3. Grand Thibauto
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

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

      What a way to lose some points

  8. Limited & Mediocre Mana…

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

    1. Kryten
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      Holebas and Pickford top two bps :/

  9. La Roja
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 3 days ago

    Already 5 saves for Grantinho

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

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

      1. L'Aeroplanino
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 3 days ago

        I would take that

  10. itwaswritten
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 days ago

    Can Siggy at least score a goal.

  11. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 days 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

      76th min

  12. Dušan Citizen

    Carroll is too far from Hull's goal.

    1. StalkingDwarf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 days 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
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 3 days ago

        Agree

  13. L9
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 days ago

  14. FPL Emu
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 3 days ago

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

    1. Venom Snake
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

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

  15. Over Midwicket
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 3 days ago

    Anyone ditching Siggy despite the good fixtures?

    1. BabyB
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      No

    2. Filthbomb
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      Yes unless he scores today

  16. Sailboats
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 days ago

    claudio ranieri out?

    1. Kryten

  17. FALCAO & MOU

    9 years, 3 days ago

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

    1. Camp No No
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 days 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
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 days ago

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

        1. thepeen555
          • 9 Years

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

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

    1. StalkingDwarf

    1. Over Midwicket
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      Only themselves to blame

    2. Camp No No
