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.

    Damn it, last three weeks I've been getting a beating from my two closest ML rivals.

    First Kane, now King...when does it end?

    Who is that standing between Owen and Wright and wtf is he wearing?

  4. UnitedFan

    Baines coming off is annoying

    1. HVT
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      FM not starting is worse

      1. DA Minnion (Former great)
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        No Baines coming off is worse.

    Felt the need to Thanks FFS,
    Asked 10 Mins before deadline whether to take a hit for King, the response made me take him!

    1. Belsunz
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      congrats. Great decision!

    2. Sonic Huth
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Congratulations, mate.

    3. Jamelingus
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Aye, thanks to FFS and a specific comment I glanced over an hour prior to lockout, got me thinking of King for C, Definitely thanking the community for this!

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

        Just saw your Website
        Unreal Stuff mate
        You might be in Top 1k for points this week if they don't count the hits

  6. LEEDSLEEDSLEEDS
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    I'm gonna take a minus 20 every week 🙂 Long live the King!

  7. LakhaneeFC
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Not sure how I should feel about this: 30 from 10 players after hits

    Mane (C) left to play.

    Is this around what everyone has?

    1. Magic Bean
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Unfortunately not. I'm in a similar boat. King has delighted a lot of people around here

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

        Damn. Yeah King would definitely kill this GW for me

    2. JogaSemmedo
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      43 after hits with Coutinho & Mane left.

      Still smarting over Baines going off and not having balls to do an extra hit to -12 for King.

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

        Damn. Nice!

        I'll go hide behind a sofa again

    3. Frank Koscielny
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Did -12 to get King, Luk, Coleman and Cout. Total of 54 now. 11 additional bps incoming

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

        Ballsy move - definitely paid off!

        Getting King was a sweet move 🙂

  8. TOPCAT1960
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    51 after hits including 12 baps incoming... not so bad, but if the Firm plays tomorrow could be even better:)

    1. weed
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Curious, how many hits?

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

    1. weed
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Damn right. Brought in Mawson for a -12 four minutes before deadline.

      I'm dancin'.

  15. JogaSemmedo
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Is 140 points too much to chase down considering we both have Wildcard and bench boost left?

    1. My Name Is Prince
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Dear god I hope so... My lead is 10pts... You think that's too much?!?

    2. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Probably - sorry, that's not the answer you wanted to hear.

    3. JogaSemmedo
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Tried to be optimistic but think need to focus on trying to get in too 3 for cash places.

      Lesson learned I avoided players like Kane & Lukaku for too long this side of Xmas trying to find differentials. If I had gone with them and captained right times would have closed gap as the leader missed captaining Lukaku and Kane amongst other poor recent captain decisions.

  16. My Name Is Prince
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Aguero --> Kane right now?!?

    1. jimmy.floyd
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I did it

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

      Wait. Knowing he's fit > 0.1m

    3. Individual
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Give it til tomorrow to ensure Kane gets through the Millwall game

      I'm probably doing Kane and Costa in for Llorente and Kun. But need to know they're going to be OK.

      Bit late now to be worrying about value.

    4. MTPockets
        9 years, 1 month ago

        After this week's injury info, no way.

    5. jimmy.floyd
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      A) Phillips to Sanchez
      B) Philllips to Hazard

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

        Depends on tonight's FA Cup game I feel

      2. Belsunz
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        B

    6. Danno - Emre Canada
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Olsson or Mawson
      Lanzini or King guess which way I went. Doh

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

        olsson turn next week hopefully

      2. weed
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Lol had the same dilemma. Luckily got Lanzini and Mawson.
        Win some, lose some.

    7. Spg76
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Ghost teams and casuals would have taken a beating this week. Red arrows galore!!!!

        1. Spg76
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Leader in my ML has Ib(c) and courtois(v).

    8. Tomas Brolin ate all Depays

      1. Syd.
        • 16 Years

      2. My Name Is Prince

        9 years, 1 month ago

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

      Best defender to replace Brunt for max 5.2? Not Swansea! Already have 3...

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

      Baines injured?

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

        Went off at HT

        Wait for update

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

      Any news in post match interviews on Llorente injury and why Baines taken off?

    12. FootballManiac
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Sell carol or lorente to get Kane?

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

        Carroll but wait until you get an injury update on Llorente

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

      9 points added tonight, major benchwankery going on. No King, no party though 🙁

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

        11 for me 😀

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

      Ronald Koeman confirms Leighton Baines is fine and will be fit for next weekend after being replaced by Ramiro Funes Mori at half-time. #EFC

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

      Walker or Rose?

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

        Need to find out the cut off date for 10 YC before making that decision myself.

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

          Someone said late April?

          I had Rose before and think he's the better option, especially 0.5m cheaper. But to get suspended would be a nightmare. Also contemplating bringing in this weekend.

    16. 8ball
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Aguero to Costa for a hit?

      Lukaku, Kane

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

        Why not

      2. Individual
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Wait til Monday to make sure he comes through the game before making the move.

    17. Tomas Brolin ate all Depays
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Surely we know who has 2 x dgws eg Man U ars south so we can wildcard now out of these teams built for this week ??..

    18. ChampChomp
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Did anyone actually see what happened Baines? Has been horribly frustrating since I picked him over Coleman a few weeks back
