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 have Jaku and Robertson who were both on for bonus before that goal.

    Woudl have been around 15 points. Now 4 🙁

      Snap, big swing. And probably the worst combination to get the goal, throw that into the mix and it's closer to a 20+ swing!

  14. Gaz_b
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    48 with possibly 8 bonus and Mane, Coutinho to play. Not a bad week at all so far.

  15. Shawcus
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

  16. Parm
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      why?

      1. Parm
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I saw a picture of you.

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

    Jaku and Siggy owner so that goal made no difference points wise to me

    1. Red or Dead
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Potentially got Sigurdsson 2 BP as well

    2. sunzip14
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      It did, Siggy is getting bonus

  18. Sushant
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

  19. diesel001
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Baines, Brunt, Rondon and Llorente shocker. Only Coutinho going mental and Firmino playing can save me. Another poor GW.

  20. Zlatan Time
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    50 With Bonus (-8) And 1 To Play

    1. Zlatan Time
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      **Without Bonus**

  21. FirminoIsBetterThanYou
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    48(-8) pre-bonus but got Lukaku, King, Siggy and Mawson maybe to get bonus and Mane(c) and Coutinho left.

  22. Smurf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    62 points after bonus with Mane and Cout left.

    Who said having 11 players would be bad as they couldn't score well in such little games?

    1. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Took a -4

  23. Siva Mohan
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

  24. Arctic monkeys
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Randolph 8 pointers in the bench hurts 🙁

    1. Arctic monkeys
      • 12 Years

  25. Lallana_
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    My worst FPL decision this year was getting Baines in over Coleman.
