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.

      Have you seen Carragher's analysis of Bravo? It's absolute gold. Typically inappropriate and offensive, but so funny and true.

    Not sure if a sideway transfer from McAuley to Brunt should be done now

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

      why mcauley got an assist

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

      Same issue. Its one of those transfers that always gets put on the back burner..

    3. Ten Season Wonder
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Can you not bring him in as well as McAuley?

      WBA have a decent run

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

    Chris Brunt just saved my GW for the time being, both my defenders and goalie had already conceded by then

  12. mojoindojo
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    2 of my defenders with assists.
    And I have benched both. 🙂

  13. PvA
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Don't promote Brunt too much you freaks. Keep the guy low key.

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

      OOP defender, who is attacking!!! Get him while he's hot!

      1. Eden ACCOUNT CLOSED
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Not OOP this week

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

        Except he's not oop because Evans is out.

      3. Klopp For The Kopps 😆
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Sad that he isn't OOP anymore
        But still very attacking from LB too

  14. Sandy Ravage
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Darlow essential

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

    The only points from a player so far for me is that Pieters assist. And I didn't even trust him enough to start him

  16. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Lucky none of the McAuley assist club lolled at Brunters 😉

    1. Toure The Route
      • 9 Years

      This

  17. Toure The Route

    Mcauley owners most likely don't own brunt 😀

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

      Still early. McAuley may still come out on top

      1. Toure The Route
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Unlikely mate

  18. Deulofail
    • 10 Years

    Bertrand to Brunt pencilled in

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

    Oh my word, Grant just stopped an absolute rocket,

  20. Differentiator
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Starting to get concerned as a Zlatan captainer

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

      Yup. Grant in goal for me, but I'd prefer an Ibra showcase

  21. Lizard Lips
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Carrol on fire.

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

    This Man Utd - Stoke game is like the reverse fixture. Man Utd missing everything

  23. Syd.
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    "-1 to West Ham

  24. La Roja
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Grant is allergic to Manu

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

  29. M.A.G
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Brunt - Carroll > Baines - Crouch (-4) & benched Pieters

    a true competitor for the rough and smooth i guess 😆
