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.

      Some guy in ML did Gray - Origi and played bench boost with Valdes, Schneiderlin, Mirallas and Yoshida on the bench. I don't want to be mean, but that is as idiotic as it gets.

          Klopp probably leading their ML with Hughes 2nd, and Klopp had Crouch. This can be the only explanation.
