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.

      Proper depressing that. Sad thing is that it's becoming very predictable. Not strengthening in January a big mistake..again.

    No one seems to have mentioned Brunt getting a 9 pointer 😀

    1. Crow
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      We're all shocked about Lukaku but I realised that now as well.. great gw so far

  19. For Fuchs Sake

    What happens to Klopp now?

    1. TheSteel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Praised for having passion

    2. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Nothing. He's a long term manager. But that doesn't mean he's immune to criticism.

    3. KingNidge
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Beg Marco Silva to teach him how to organise a defence

  20. Shultan
    • 10 Years

    No lukaku ...season over ML over!

  21. NATSTER
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Why do I have Baines ?

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

      because is is a defender on pens for an attacking team with potential of clean sheet.

  22. Cocky Spaniel Alves
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Ok, is it too much to ask for Kane to score more than 5 and Spurs to lose?

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

    Lol at Liverpool fans Loling at MUFC's draw against Hull 🙂

  24. WVA

  25. Netley Lucas
    • 10 Years

    What a glorious game at Goodison, both sides went for it, wonderful stuff.

  26. JogaSemmedo
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Holding on to Kun when have Lukaku lined up is painful. Only a Kun goalfest can make up for it tomorrow. Not going to happen is it?

  27. fedolefan
    • 11 Years

    Come on now, what's the score like for the Lukaka captainers?
