A disrupted Gameweek 28 fixture list delivers just three matches for Saturday afternoon.

Much of our focus will be on the events at Goodison Park, with this week’s leader of the Captain Poll Romelu Lukaku in action against his former side West Bromwich Albion.

The Everton striker is the second most bought player this week, attracting over 363,000 new owners, having returned in each of his last four home outings. The Belgian will be seeking his 19th goal of the season which would represent his biggest ever Premier League season haul; it’s worth noting, however, that the Toffees have failed to score in their last three home encounters against the Baggies.

Swansea City’s Fernando Llorente was the major transfer bandwagon heading into Gameweeks 28 on the back of his brace in the 3-2 win over Burnley. His 375,000 new owners will be hoping he and Gylfi Sigurdsson can produce once again when the Swans travel to Hull City – the Icelander has produced returns in seven of his last eight Gameweeks.

Bournemouth will be looking to put an end to their run of eight matches without a win when they entertain West Ham United on the south coast.

Josh King, who has scored five goals in his last six appearances, could be the key man for the Cherries once again. Meanwhile, the Hammers will look to Andy Carroll and Michail Antonio to inflict the damage. Back from a one-match suspension, the latter will be hoping to end a run of eight matches without a goal – his longest dry spell of the season.

    Now Llorente, this week is an utter cluckerf**k.

      Unbelievable so far. King goal the only saving grace - but even he has probably lost peno duties. Balls

    So am I right in that Amat won't get a cleansheet by 2 minutes?

    If Swans keep one o f course.

    1. For Fuchs Sake
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Correct! Needs 60 mins

    2. SirStevieG

      Extra time doesn't count lol

    3. MTPockets
      9 years, 4 months ago

      On @ 33mins acc to fffix - guess so.

    4. Guru Mediation

      It's a shame, but I would have taken 1 point at start of gameweek without a doubt

    5. Pasqualinho
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I wanted to be a lucky Amat owner and see him getting subbed on. But I was rather hoping it would be the 89th minute, not the 33rd.

    6. CloudSky

      Olsson yc.

      1. CloudSky

    7. DanwiseTheBrave
      • 14 Years

      Balls.

      Maybe he'll score a goal.

  3. For Fuchs Sake

      What league are you in?

      1. Revival
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        the local Arsenal supporters league

        1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
          • 17 Years

          Oh spurs fan. They won't let me

    2. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      If that's a cash league please let me in next season:-D

  5. Jay_

    Kanes rise has left me .1 short of Llorente to Kane

    1. Klopp For The Kopps 😆
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      That's Sad
      -4 Then?

  6. Jigger & Pony
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    It's a -2 per hit week they said...

    1. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      That is based on the theory that no one has extra playing players to give them 2 point autosub

  7. Ravager
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Lukaku has started these moves by moving to the wing...what happened to Everton's wingers?

    1. Bellerinmondo
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      It's W Brom, they have 10 CBs in the box

      1. Ravager
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Yup. Understand that...but I'd love for him to be on the end of crosses.

  8. Bellerinmondo
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Lukaku looking good - making and getting chances

  9. makaveli123
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Love Schneiderlin

  10. Lav
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    The real question is this...

    Why do I still own Ben Foster?

    1. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Maybe Carling will help

    2. Judders
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Right with ya there man.

    3. Ravager
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Because like me, you probably have had no chance to use a free on a keeper.

  11. Rains of Castamere
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Barkley assist? Sure he got a toe on it.

  12. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Llorente off? Tgis Gw is getting ridiculous

  13. Les Bleus
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    ML leader had to play Schneiderlin this week. Of all damn weeks

  14. TheBusDriver
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Wow. King could've been on a hattrick.

  15. Conk
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Antonio and Llorente were my players in for a hit
    Win some, lose some

  16. Syd.

    9 years, 4 months ago

    I HATE LLORENTE

    Got him in GW19 he got injured (Got Rondon for him)

    Got him back in this week

    He has cost me No1 spot in the World

    1. Somalion
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      You don't hate him, you hate yourself

    2. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years

      Playing the old bench trick I see

  17. Rover

    Lesson of the GW (so far):

    Never break your team (or head) just for 1 gameweek!

    1. Bellerinmondo
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Llorente was a good option for future GWs too though

      1. how now brown cow
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Still is imo.

        Almighty Gabbiadini wagon incoming!

        1. Rover
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          I went Ibra > Gab instead of Llorente... Can I claim hindsight?

      3. Rover
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah Llorente maybe but not many of the other guys that some people got in or kept in only because they didn't blank this week.

    2. Rover
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      All the GW28 "planners' caught out: Phillips, Brunt, Funes Mori, Rondon. "Non-planners" got lucky with Amat 🙂

      1. For Fuchs Sake
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Amat will only get 1 point max unless he scores/assists though

        1. Rover
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Frankly, even that one point is lucky...
