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

    Is Bournemouth doing anything in an attacking sense?

  28. Sess!
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Get relegated. Get rid of moyes and short. Ditch all the old deadwood like Larsson, Rodwell and o'shea. Rebuild around youth and then hopefully when we next get into the premier league we can actually offer something to it.

    1. Richd
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Sounds easier than it is. Championship is very very tough.

      1. Sess!
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Yeah I'm not saying we'll bounce straight back up but I think all fans have had enough of this.

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
