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.

    With it looking like Hazard is dropping tonight, thoughts on Hazard -> Eriksen & Giroud -> Lukaku for 2FT's

    1. Jimmy Boy
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Thinking of making the exact same move myself

    2. liiusions
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Wait and see how Giroud does tomorrow but I still wouldn't ditch him ahead of his fxitures

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

      Eriksen I'd do once he makes it through the man. Would hold onto Giroud if he's fit.

    4. Pep bites Kun
      • 9 Years

      Looks solid - depends on your other attacking options or lack of ...

    Only 1 bonus for Brunt? 🙁

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Yep, I'm devastated he only got 13 points. 🙁

    2. Syd.

      1 = Clean sheet
      1 = Goal
      1 = Bap

      I would take that every week

      1. liiusions
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Just annoying When Gary Mac gets 12 for just an assist

  3. Rainer

          You're on 21pts + Alli, Eriksen and Rose... still really bad but could still turn out to be okay

          • 11 Years

    Is Lallana &a Phillips > Alli & Davies for free silly?(Davies would need to start)
    Or just get Hazard out if he doesn't do it tomorrow

    1. Halftime
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I'd keep Phillips

    2. Speédy
      • 9 Years

      get hazard out,dont sell phillips

  7. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    phillips to davies or carroll?

    1. Sjaugen
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Keep Phillips ffs

    2. Jimmy Boy
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      No reason to ditch Phillips

    3. Numb
      • 11 Years

      Carroll

    4. JÆKS ⭐
      • 11 Years

      Nobody lol, great fixtures

    5. Kun Tozser
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Carroll if you want them to play

    6. Pep bites Kun
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Because of the blank today or other reasons?

  8. Les Bleus
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Pep is so arrogant in his interviews 😯

    1. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Winning a lot of trophies will do that

    2. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      ?

      I thought he was fine. Media is too obsessed with when English players get dropped, and they expect managers to give away their tactics before games?

      1. Les Bleus
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        He usually answers questions very sarcastically.

        1. Wilshere Knowledge
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Sure he does...

          😉

  10. Sarnab

    Anyone saw Palce vs Everton game?

    How did Lukaku play today?

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

      Lukaku-esque... Had chances, went missing, stayed trolling.

  11. Scotty B

    1. JJO

  14. Sonic Huth

    Pieters-Coleman/Baines, Yes or no?

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

      If you've no one else to shift then yes, Stoke defender is handy to have.

      1. Sonic Huth
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Amat-Holgate, how does that sound?

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

          Like it! Always worried when line-ups come out but worth it atm.

  15. Rolls-Royce
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Had a dream Coleman scored last night. Should I've brought him in.

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      did he smile? if so, sounds like a nightmare

    2. Individual
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      It was between him or Brunt in for my FT... doesn't really matter either way does it lol

    3. Jimmy Boy
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I had a dream last Friday that someone I got rid of would score two goals. Since then Firmino and Alonso have done that after previously being in my team

  16. F4L
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Best mid for 8.9mil? Already own Eriksen and Alli

    1. Jimmy Boy
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Lallana then spend the cash elsewhere

  17. HonestBlatter
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Andy Carroll my saviour. Will keep him if not injured today...

  18. Hy liverpool

    I got 60 from 6 After a big big Red arrow last week thanks to bobby .

    Liverpool should've won to make it the perfect week !

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

      Congratulations mate. I sold him for coutinho. But more disappointed that Liverpool didn't win.

      1. Hy liverpool
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Sometimes we need to lose to come back ... new players also needed , our defence is a joke .

      Ive got 1 clean sheet. Nothing else

  19. Dreams

    What a gameweek. It's one of those moments where everything you do is wrong. Hope spurs do something.

    1. Lawrø
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      It's like that for most at the moment, plenty of football still to be played

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

        Hey. How was your exam?

  20. internal error

    Wayne Rooney after breaking the record- "ermmmmm"

  21. fedolefan
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    At least the Lukaku transfers will slow down for a day or two. I was scared I'd be forced into a Defoe to Lukaku exact cash move.

  22. Chris_H
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Double WBA clean sheet feels as good as a captain success 😎

  23. The Royal Robin
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    What would you do with this lot (whether or not it is too early, it's good to plan ahead)... I've got 2 ft's.

    Foster
    Daniels Rose Baines
    Hazard Phillips Alli Sanchez
    Ibra Defoe Giroud

    (Grant Chambers Mee de Roon)

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

      Looking to shift Defoe would be about it. Solid team, dont knee-jerk!

      1. The Royal Robin
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        For who?

  24. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    well done rooney owners

    1. Rolls-Royce
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      😎

  25. Wilshere Knowledge
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    I imagine Zaba and Clichy will play narrow and Sterling and Sane will be left with the wing backs.

    Could be genius.

    1. Somalion
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Listen Pep, I've told you before to stop logging in here and bigging up your own tactics. You've been crap, get over it.

  26. GoonerByron
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Coleman or Baines in?

    1. The Royal Robin
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I've got Baines but Coleman offered more going forward today.

    2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      goalman

    3. Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Coleman going to rise tonight, so decide quick, I am leaning towards Coleman

  27. Rhodes your boat
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Typical! 1 day8 hours ago

    Baines to Coleman too sideways? Worried by injury and Coleman attacking threat

  28. thep025
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    How does Giroud->Kane sound??

    1. The Royal Robin
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I'm considering it too. But don't really like the idea of triple Spurs. Don't like triple anyone! Too many eggs in one basket for my liking.

  29. Deulofail
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Possible moves to make. A and F most likely

    A) Bertrand to Brunt
    B) Bertrand/Cedric to Schlupp
    C) Ibra to Kane
    D) Lukaku to Jesus
    E) Defoe to Remy
    F) Save

  30. Moin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Williams to Coleman
    or
    Evans to Brunt?
