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.

      • 15 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      What about Baines captainers?

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

        Them as well 😉

    Funes and Williams are a joke of a pair. Why are Coleman and Baines getting penalised for their incompetence?

    1. Somalion
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Because it's a back 4, not a back 2?

      1. Team Cruel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Not having any of that. I want my clean sheets.

        1. Somalion
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Maybe invest in better defences? 😛

  6. Dr. Mantis Toboggan
    • 9 Years

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        You spelt Coleman wrong 😉

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

      James Milner should be shot!

    21. Siva Mohan
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      "Andy Carroll is leaving the field to be replaced by Manuel Lanzini in a tactical substitution."

      livescore says so..

      1. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        I have him and he's a decent source of regular points at the moment.

    22. Speédy
      • 9 Years

      • Jay_
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Snodgrass assist given as Noble awarded goal.

        • Van der Faart
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          If PVA gets some sort of attacking points and WBA could just hold onto that double CS it's not so disastrous after all
