Saturday’s events roll on with a batch of six afternoon kick-offs, with Everton’s Goodison Park clash with Bournemouth perhaps holding the main interest for Fantasy managers.

The Toffees assets have seen big investment ahead of Gameweek 24, with Seamus Coleman second only to Manchester City’s Gabriel Jesus for transfer traffic ahead of today’s deadline.

Over 136,000 have acquired the four-goal full-back ahead of the meeting with the Cherries, with another 75,000 swooping for the services of Romelu Lukaku. The striker is backed by more than 258,000 (5.9%) with the captaincy this afternoon.

Ademola Lookman earns a first start for Everton this afternoon, with Kevin Mirallas dropping to the bench. Junior Stanislas is benched by Eddie Howe, along with Benik Afobe and Brad Smith for Bournemouth. Adam Smith is absent through injury, along with Charlie Daniels.

West Brom’s meeting with Stoke City is perhaps the other key encounter from a Fantasy perspective, with the Baggies another side to enjoy recent transfer interest. Gareth McAuley collected another 35,000 new owners ahead of today’s clash, while both Chris Brunt and Matt Phillips are also heavily backed.

Elsewhere, Liverpool’s assets will be seeking to improve their fading stock via testing trip to a resurgent and newly resilient Hull City. Sadio Mane is back in Jurgen Klopp’s starting line-up today.

Robert Snodgrass earns a full West Ham debut at Southampton, while the Saints’ Manolo Gabbiadini also makes his bow at St Mary’s.

At Selhurst Park, Sunderland hand a debut to Bryan Oviedo against Crystal Palace, while Mauro Zárate also starts for Watford against Burnley at Vicarage Road.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Starting Heaton over Jaku is not looking too smart.

    1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Not many would have started Jaku, including myself. I wouldn't worry about it.

    2. For Fuchs Sake
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      It was smart though at the time, would have done the same, most would.

    3. Donnie Brasco´s
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Dont worry, Jaku will concede 2 or 3 goals!

    Hmm, sold Defoe for Lukaku (c), so kind of mixed emotions. Wouldn't have captained Defoe, so I guess i'm on the plus side 🙂

    1. Kasper the ghost keeper
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Sold Defoe so I could afford to bring in Lukaku for Giroud. I want Defoe back immediately

  8. Jafooli

  14. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

  15. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
    • 16 Years

    1. Rolls-Royce
      • 12 Years

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years

    1. myboycharlie
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

        • 10 Years
