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.

    So Phillips is useless then

    1. Shirokov(c)
      • 10 Years

      Like 5 blanks in a row

      anyone better at that price range ?

      1. Cok3y5murf

        9 years, 3 months ago

        I have 2.7 ITB to upgrade him

        This is always the argument and no excuse really. There is a case to go 4-3-3 then and 6m defenders are delivering much much more. His price must not rid him of any blame if he has been crap.

      Utterly.

    The West Brom game gives me anxiety. I can't wait for it to finish so they keep a CS.

    1. matiakez
      • 15 Years

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years

  17. _Gunner

    1. Vinyl78LP
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      loose change though, that'd been a great differential in my ML.

  18. Siva Mohan
    • 13 Years

  19. Ha.

    1. walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      He is superb positionally on defense.

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

    Philips since I have him: 2; 3; 2; 2
    Rondon since I have him: 2; 2; 2; 2

    1. Ha.
      • 10 Years

    2. Rainer

    3. McEwan
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      One WBA attacker is risky enough, double up is madness imo

  22. Pariße
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Why did he have ti put Holgate in!

  23. Hect.OR 98th
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Bye bye Lallana. Useless for me recently. Hello Siggy.

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

    With Giroud probably starting, Alexis isn't as a good a captaincy option as he looks vs Hull!

  25. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Lallana off
    Origi on

  26. chilli con kone

    Was Carroll injured?

  27. Syd.
    • 16 Years

  28. Fpl Richie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    So, now that its about over - is it worth keeping Tekkers or not? Big Andy says hi and I chose the Big Belgian in a rash move.

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

    Lallana off.. no bookings.. 2 points intact!
