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.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    1. Bubz
      • 12 Years

      Pretty much

  18. Sess!
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Coleman as a wing back could be lethal.

    1. Gooner Kebab
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      And Baines scores a pen next week

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        yep, still glad i chose baines

    2. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Might have to get him in early even if his next fixt is V Stoke because price will rocket.

  20. Ha.

    Who else benched Grant?

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Me - for Hennessey. Rashford goal would be good.

      1. Donnie Brasco´s
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I have Grant and Pieters on my bench!

        Boooooooooooo

  21. Revival

    Well that settles who to get from Coleman or Baines

    1. John Nerdelbaum
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      until baines gets a pen

  22. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Seriously considering Haz > Davies

  23. Cok3y5murf
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Ibra(c) fail, Stanislas fail

    1. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      A captain fail is bad, but it won't hurt too much because its very split this week, looking at the OVERALL stats.

      Ibrahimovic 19.7%
      Sanchez 18.3%
      Costa 10.6%
      Aguero 8.3%
      Hazard 7.5%

      1. Cok3y5murf
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        True. My mini leagues are full of Sanchez captainers tho. And I am an Arsenal fan who has to hope he doesn't score now lol

  24. Venom Snake
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Grant robbing Pieters of 3 baps

  25. Crow
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Ibra please..

  26. Ravager
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Nyom on my bench. Should have played him over Stanislas.

    *Captain Hindsight*

  27. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Baines owners settle, getting him in for next GW, goals inc.

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      i'm really pleased with Baines, not buying into the Coleman hype

  28. TokyoRisingSun
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years

    So for anyone watching the Everton game, has Davies played well today?

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Assist & hasn't looked out of place again.

  29. JÆKS ⭐
    • 11 Years
