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 can't figure out what is going on 😆
    alot of goals and my players aren't involved 😆

      Not many goals. And many scored by irrelevant assets (e.g. Stuani, Kabasele, Mata og, Fletcher).

    Oops, advised someone to play Holebas instead of Fletcher in a 3-5-2. Sorry 🙂

      Happens - as long as the intention is good, that's all that matters. It's football.

    Is this low owned players do well day or something?!

    1. Fred54

      Except McCauley of course.

      Trust a def to break the pattern!

    Fletcher has been on my bench for both his goals this season

      Surely you only have him because he's cheap and benchable?

        Yup. Not too bothered

  9. Postman Ty
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    A jooooooooke!

    Rivals all get Firmino brace and what do I get? Ibra misses from point blank, Mata misses from an Ibra assist with an open goal. Philips deflects a shot off target. Philips and Brunt assist the assister in the same play.

    1. Cilly Bonnolly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Half an hour played. Settle the f**k down.

      1. Postman Ty
        • 11 Years

        21 weeks played mate. Same all season.

          • 14 Years

          Well if you're not taking about just this game Ibra has scored loads, as has Phillips.

          1. Postman Ty
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            You'll have to believe me when I say other have let me down, consistently, bad.

      FPL is depressing

      1. Postman Ty
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Well, that Brunt goal put a smile on me for now at least. Just need to focus on the enjoyment of the football.

        At least United and Pool are currently dropping points 😉

  10. Sess!

    Our defending for that goal really has to be seen to be believed. See you later premier league.

    1. Deulofail
      • 10 Years

      Will Defoe score today, Sunderland expert?

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

        Not on this evidence.

    Oh boy, please turn this around. Been the most dreadful half ever. 2 cleans gone, rivals getting assists.

    9 goals today so far and I have a grand total of one assist. Thanks Gareth!

    2. Vlekz

        I got 1 assist on my bench. Chambers. 3rd sub

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

      I have a feeling WBA will win 3-0 and Phillips and Rondon won't be involved 🙁

      1. Donnie Brasco´s

        Maybe you are just totaly wrong!

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

          Not so far

          2-0 and nothing.

      Love you Gareth McAuley.

    8. We Will Klopp you
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month 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.

      1. We Will Klopp you
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

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

    9. Viper

      Why didn't Ibra shoot there 😯

      Point blank range for him

      Ibra seems to have forgotten how to shoot so far today

      1. @persecuted_by_mods
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Was much worse last time he played stolen

          How long till some Ibra captainers are on debating whether or not to dump for Carroll?

        • Syd.
          • 16 Years
