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.

  16. Numb
    • 11 Years

    Not a good week for CSs so far

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Triple liverpool defence looking good so far.

      1. Grand Thibauto
        • 11 Years

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

        For some reason I have my doubts...think that new signing Grosicki might be involved in a Hull Goal today

    2. WVA
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Baines and Brunt might be ok!

    2. Olivier Bernards watch
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

  24. The Enlightener
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Dropped Carroll a few GWs ago. Another of my master strokes this season. 🙂 #leavewellenoughalone

    1. Grand Thibauto
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      I did For Giroud as well. So much suffering from Giroud alone

      1. The Enlightener
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Yep. Was for Giroud also, who I shipped this GW. 🙁

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

    Holebas going to get sent off, isn't he. Ref to even it up.

  26. Venom Snake
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Coutinho should have done much better there

  27. Clump
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Too much dramatics on here. Bar the Luka goal, most points are from nothing players.

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

      Don't you dare call big Andy a nothing player

  28. Greenbackbøøg…
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Merson talking highly of Niang, could be good option

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

      That's reason enough not to get him.

    2. La Roja
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      If Merson saying that I'd avoid

    3. Guru Mediation
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Magic Merse

  29. Weilong7
    • 9 Years
