After Roberto Firmino and Fernando Llorente both bagged a brace at Anfield, there are five 3pm encounters to keep Fantasy managers ticking over this Saturday afternoon.

Cut-price wide men Junior Stanislas and Matt Phillips earned plenty of new owners over the last few days.

The pair approached Gameweek 22 with averages of 5.5 and 5.1 points per match respectively as Bournemouth and West Brom prepare for kind home encounters against Watford and Sunderland.

Everton boast a multitude of in-form options as they roll up to Selhurst Park to face a defence with a single clean sheet to their name.

With five goals in seven, Romelu Lukaku has the chance to strengthen his claim for a role in our three-man frontlines as the Toffees embark on some excellent fixtures.

The in-form Zlatan Ibrahimovic has Stoke City in his sights as United pay visit to the bet365.

Having delivered a goal or assist in nine of his last 10 appearances, there’s no surprise to learn that 19.1% of FPL managers have handed Zlatan the Gameweek 22 armband – that’s more than any other player.

Middlesbrough host West Ham in the remaining match.

Michal Antonio was second only to Philippe Coutinho for transfers in amongst midfielders in the Gameweek on the back of a 15-ooint haul at home to Palace.

‘Boro are no pushovers at the Riverside, though. Aitor Karanka’s men have managed four clean sheets in their last six home outings – only Liverpool and Chelsea have netted against them over that run of matches.

    I wonder how much Zlatan is standing offside per game.

    1. Numb
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      He's not because he's not interfering with play

      1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        But he is unpassable so many times

    Stan > King for a hit locked

  18. We Will Klopp you
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Obviously will wait till the end of the match(es) but what do you think about Defoe (have 0.3m value on him) and Fraser out for Lukaku and Tom Carroll?

    Defoe has a terrible fixture and I'd have to play chambers/fraser if I don't do it.

    Team is:
    Heaton (Grant)
    Brunt Rose Baines Chambers (Alonso)
    Stanislas Phillips Sanchez Alli (Fraser)
    (K)ane Ibra (Defoe)

    1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years

  27. Revival

    2FT next week, might downgrade Hazard to a 7m mid so can upgrade Giroud > Kane

    1. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Might have to do the unthinkable and make plans to consider to ponder about a defensive transfer. Booo!

    United are a different team without Carrick in the team 🙁

    1. Respect My Authoritah
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      True, but playing well and creating

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Brings calm and confidence. Highly under-rated, badly needed!

    3. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      If Carrick isn't playing they should put Blind in IMO.

    9 years, 3 months ago

    omg, useless Smith gets me something other than 0 or 1. Well, hopefully he doesn't get a red.
