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.

    If Watford don't get a CS here, Holebas is dead to me!

    1. JÆKS ⭐
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      I'm selling him regardless of todays outcome, a 15 pointer would be the right thing for him to do!

    What is happenning... So many Goals.... and I got none

    1. Garlana
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Same here, lukaku is the only obvious one I'm feeling guilty of missing though

      1. Sim Simma
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        a certain website recommended that I transfer Sanchez out for Morrisson and Anichebe for Costa ... hmmf

    2. Disco Pat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Only one I have so far is lukaku goal
      Sanchez capt didn't pay off...and palace conceded so no PVA clean sheet sadly

      1. Donblaster
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Sanchez capt vs Chelsea away?!

        1. Disco Pat
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Returns in 10 out of 11 away games prior to today.admittingly was a gamble as way off the pace in two mini leagues

          1. Donblaster
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 3 months ago

            Fair enough. Just seems like a huge gamble given the fixtures this week, lots of better captain options depending who you have...Kane, Alli, Ibra, Lukaku etc.

    Put the armband on Alli because I thought Lukaku would troll me, hasn't been in great form the last 2 games. Hopefully Alli can still outscore him!
