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.

              8 years, 9 months ago

              Yeah, for some reason thought he'd lose a pt.

            They only get 90 at most, even if there are 10 minutes of added time.

                I can still do transfers just no stress of top 1k ambitions..wanted to get close to winning/top 100 but wasnt possible as was around 400k in half season

                1. Lawrø
                  • 13 Years
                  8 years, 9 months ago

                  Can you resurrect the account for next season or will all of your history be lost?

          5. vectorman

            Cheers for that pie, so from 146,917 not recalculated yet and 1,490 pts is top 10K possible I wonder?. So pee'd off last season when I dropped out of it on the last day of the season.. Ahhhhhhhhh

            • 16 Years

            So basically not get lukaku for his four goal haul has cost me a place in the top 5k

          7. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
            • 16 Years
            8 years, 9 months ago

            It is a lot closer then I would of imagined.

            It just shows how playing a steady eddie one transfer per week is the easiest way to play fpl.
            safety first.

            It is no fun though!

            1. vectorman
              • 9 Years
              8 years, 9 months ago

              I agree, played it like that last two seasons before this one and yes got good ranks but thought lets change tactics. Done 43 transfers this season lol and it's been helluva fun, poorer rank but fun. 😀

            2. Fred54
              • 10 Years
              8 years, 9 months ago

              This was my approach since GW17, rose from 154K to 17K. Only took two hits in that time.

              Last two GWs (including this current one) have take 4 hits and fallen a little back to 25K, although in reality probably a lot more when auto subs kick in and depending on Liverpool game.

          8. Ridcully
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 9 months ago

            Two more points gained on the top 100,000 this week.

          9. PÍE
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 9 months ago

            Gap between 2nd and 3rd: 45 pts
            The same as the gap between 1000th and 5907th...

          Less than subtle brag got bottomed!

          67 (-16) - could have been a lot worse 😎

            8 years, 9 months ago

            Nice, how many to go?

            I'm 49(-8) with Mane and Couts(c) to go which I'd have definitely taken if offered this morning.

            1. andy85wsm
              • Has Moderation Rights
              • 15 Years
              8 years, 9 months ago

              Mane, Coutinho and Heaton to go.

              You've got a nice score so far, Coutinho (c) could really boost it for you

              1. Burger
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 10 Years
                8 years, 9 months ago

                Fingers crossed, brutal season with little to celebrate so here's hoping. Let's do this 😀

          2. Tim Canterbury

            Big balls paid off, well played fella.

            1. andy85wsm
              • Has Moderation Rights
              • 15 Years
              8 years, 9 months ago

              Perhaps a bit more than expected but happy it paid off.

              Funnily enough the only hit that hasn't worked out so far was Aguero to Carroll which I did last minute. Just fancied West Ham to score in that game, shame he couldn't get involved.

              1. Rasping Drive
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 16 Years
                8 years, 9 months ago

                At least you didn't go Llorente!

                  • 15 Years
                  8 years, 9 months ago

                  True 🙂

                  Carroll probably gone this week for me anyway, straight to Kane!

                  1. Rasping Drive
                    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                    • 16 Years
                    8 years, 9 months ago

                    Has to be. Spurs fixtures are ridiculous pretty much for the rest of the season. I've got a big wad of 9.3m to spend, having wildcarded this week. Gonna be fun spending it.

          4. Fred54
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 9 months ago

            King doing nothing after the pen miss woukd have screwed you big time.

            1. andy85wsm
              • Has Moderation Rights
              • 15 Years
              8 years, 9 months ago

              Lukaku blanking would have meant a lower score too

              1. Fred54
                • 10 Years
                8 years, 9 months ago

                I know if and buts but what Lukaku did was expected. What King did was unprecedented.

                1. andy85wsm
                  • Has Moderation Rights
                  • 15 Years
                  8 years, 9 months ago

                  Yeah fair enough - decent stats recently though - 2nd highest shots in the box for mids in last 4 GWs.

                  I got a bit lucky with him, if I could have afforded Antonio I may have gone that route.

                    8 years, 9 months ago

                    I was gonna get Antonio but was short by 0.1M 🙁
                    Had to settle for Lanzini

            • 8 Years

            66 (-0) with Mane and Clyne left 🙂

            After Kings penalty miss, I thought you were going to post a negative score!

            60 (-8) for me. Best -8 I've spent 🙂

              Bringing in Andy Carroll meant I lost to you by 1 point! Booo

            Why. He may not have got 2 goals after if he scored. It could have changed the game in a different direction

          Weeks and weeks of planning just for players to get injured, players benched, and now a missed penalty.

          What is the point?

            70 odd I'd imagine

            All the 3m dead teams will drag the average way way down 🙂

          So Olsson definitely wasn't a -2 transfer 🙁

            I'm taking the 'long-term move with better fixtures that Pieters' stance on this one 😉

              His Stats weren't as good today 🙁
