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.

          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.

        3. Graz Doz Trez
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          Rage aside, is anyone planning to use their WC this week? Or anyone waiting for the INT break after next week?

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

            Not sure why wait for INT break this late in season: price rices far less important.

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

              Because we'll know more about the double gameweeks by then

      6. FFPro
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Imagine if King scored the first pen and went on to get 5 goals.... 30pts.

        What is the biggest haul in fpl history, anyone know?

        1. John t penguin
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          The rest of the game would have been different if he scored pen

        2. The Bandit
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          Ironically if he had scored the pen it could have been his only extra points

        3. Sim Simma

        4. diesel001
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          My best was Jermain Defoe 5 goals against Wigan. Captained him too. Defoe back then was such a flat track bully....

        5. FFPro
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          Rooney 32 in a dgw apparently.

          Berbatov and Defoe 25 points for their 5 goal hauls in a sgw - not sure if there is higher though.

        6. Sim Simma
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          Lampard had 28pts, There was a defender who was on penalties (burnley ?) who scored a hattrick once

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

            Graham Alexander? He scored a couple of top flight pens but if he ever got a hat trick it was lower league

        7. Steevo
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          I'm sure one of the old Pompey defenders (Matty Taylor or Linvoy Primus) got ~30 points in a single GW.

      7. Steevo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Mawson, King, Coleman, Siggy, Antonio, Lukaku(C), Mane & Coutinho to come. Dreamland.

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

            Yea, need something now-gutted I swayed, rolled the dice, I felt if he blanked and with such a small gw that Mane (c) could be a huge differential, now it's damage limitation really, could do with a big pool performance really.

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

              On Coutinho myself so hoping Pool turn up.. hope it pays off for us both.. have to roll the dice sometimes mate

                • 15 Years
                8 years, 9 months ago

                Yea like to go away from the 'standard' every now and then, it could really have paid off!
                I've Cout too so hoping for some returns there, even a Mane goal/Cs/some bonus would do me.
