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.

    Oh my days Josh King

    What a goal, like a prime Dennis Bergkamp

    1. Bunk Moreland
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah, beautiful. I cannot believe this is the same Josh King that scored 3 goals in 57 matches for Blackburn.... Hard work pays off!

    I played bench f**kery with Funes Mori & Snoddy...guess I had it coming.

    So this looks like the GW when it all wrong.
    -12 hit.. (sure what could go wrong).

    Llorente off injured..
    Snodgrass/Funes Mori/Brunt on the bench..

    Was really confident that I would do well and all.
    Need things to start turning around pronto.

      Top 1k average is 14 from 5.3 players

      1. bitm2007
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        28 points so far despite King pen miss.

      2. Slam
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        But how many players do they have on average, do you know?

      3. KingNidge
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Before hits Jay?

      4. Jafooli
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        What? How so high?

      5. Jay_
          9 years, 1 month ago

          They account for hits (FFF, very accurate)

        • Bunk Moreland
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Lots of Lukaku (C)

          Top 3 million tonight so 🙂

            I should be so lucky 🙂

      7. Dacra

        ML rival has Schneiderlin. How?!

        1. Revival
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          my mini-league leader has 4 players this week...2 of them are Schneiderlin and Randolph

          1. McQueen
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Wow. Unlucky mate.

      8. bitm2007
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Could Amat get CS points if two minutes or more of injury time is played ?

        1. Bazzalona
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          My understanding is a sub gets till 90.
          They can play 97 mins if he came on 33rd for example he'd only get 57 mins.

        2. SirStevieG
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Lol

        3. jason_ni
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          No.. if there is 7 minster on injury time, 2nd half counts as 45 minster total

          1. bitm2007
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            No worries, I should be thankful for the unexpected point (if he keeps it)

      9. We Will Klopp you
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Llorente to Kane ft?

        1. Fred54
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Barnes and Llorente 》Kane and Gabs -4

        2. Pep bites Kun
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Absolutely - Kane rising - Llor will be ditched as fast as contaminated waste

        1. Somalion
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          In fairness, it looks like just one saddle sniffing fan

      10. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        IF Rondon comes on now and blanks and Baines doesn't get a pen does Amat then get a CS?

        1. Slam
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Confirmed

        2. Syd.
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          No - Amat will get 1 point

        3. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Yes but only if a super volcano goes boom.

        4. Begbie.
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          McAuley would get Amat's points in this case.

          1. Spab
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            He's 5th out of 70. How does that happen?

        2. Pep bites Kun

          More than likely down the pub right now asking when the Chelsea game starts ... 🙂

        Sorry guys.

        1. Syd.
          • 16 Years

          No it was my fault

          1. Somalion
            • 16 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

      16. F4L
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Why did Randolph get a pen save?!?!? BBC said King put it wide?!?!

        1. Syd.
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          He did but he saved the 2nd pen

        2. Rainer
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          He saved Afobes one.

        3. Slam
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Afobe missed another 😆
          I know, crazy right?

        4. KingNidge
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          He saved Afobe pen

        5. Hooky
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          He saved a second penalty

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years

        7. F4L
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          oh, cheers lads

      17. SirStevieG
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        If McAuley scores in the 93rd minute does Amat get a clean sheet?

        1. Hooky
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Yes, and an assist

        2. JustPark
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          No. They just don't count the injury time.

        3. Rainer
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          +4 BPS for Rondon

      18. Lav
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        As a King owner I think I am more mad than happy considering he should be on a hatty.

        1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          One kick another way can chance the flow of the game. Butterfly effect n all that. If he had scored he may have then been sent off or something. Take the points

      19. Jafooli

          If I did three transfers for -8, how do I know if I took a hit for King or llorenthe?

          1. El-Kloppico
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Who cares. :p

            • 9 Years

            LOL... but if your serious your 1st transfer is the 'free' one.
