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.

    BBC reporting "Everton boss Ronald Koeman revealed Leighton Baines is fine and will be fit for next weekend after being replaced by Ramiro Funes Mori at half-time today. "

      How odd. Was it tactical then?

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

      then why did he come off?!?!? Arghhh

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

      Could he not have played on then

    Which is worse?
    A - FM not starting (-4)
    B - Moving (c) off Lukaku > Mane 13:55

    🙁

      You'll find out tomorrow

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

        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
          9 years, 1 month ago

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

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

    3. osceola31909
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      A. Mane might still top Lukaku.

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

        Hopefully your right!

  4. Old Wulfrunian

    I went Antonio over King for the next 4 gws.Nice the first one.

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

      Same here. Fingers crossed long game pays off 10 points behind atm.

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

      To be honest, while it feels miserable now, i do harbour hopes of Antonio reeling those 10 points in. He's got far superior fixtures

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

      I went Lanzini over King, Antonio, Barkley.

      Also got Ollson instead of Mawson. Ollson 0 points and got injured, Mawson 8 points. 😉 You can't win them all 🙂

    T. Carroll > ?

    A) Sanchez
    B) Pedro
    C) Mkhitaryan
    D) Alli

    Jaku / Pickford
    Alonso / Walker / Coleman / Mawson / Friend
    Firmino / Antonio / Siggy / King

    1. Pep says

  10. Pep says
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Bit early but is Walker (or Llorente depending on news) my 1st priority?

    Jaku Pickford
    Coleman Alonso McAuley Brunt Cedric
    Alli Mane Coutinho Siggy Carroll
    Kaku Llorente Kane

    1ft 3.4itb

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

      I'd say Walker in either case. You could always do Llorente > Gabbiadini the following week and play T. Carroll

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

    Baines 🙄

    Brunt 🙄

    Llorente 🙄

    Still ended up with 46 (-4) from the other 3 so can't complain

  12. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Thoughts?

    Firmino + Llorente > Pedro + Kane (-4).

    1. Pep says
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Looks good

  13. Fpl Richie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Are Baines/Snod/Llorente owners selling, waiting or benching?

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

    Baines Firmino Barnes -> Kane Tarrol Walker for a -8?

  15. Jay_

      Llorente dead leg, Clement says

      1. F4L
        • 11 Years

          1. Jay_
              9 years, 1 month ago

              Didn't say but if it's just a dead leg you'd have to say very high

          39 (-4) after baps.

          Losing Jaku and Robertson cs late on was gutting.

            • 16 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            I had Jaku but Siggy getting that assist actually got me 1 more point

            Got 40 but could have been so much better.
            Brunt didn't start.
            Baines off at half time.
            Llorente off on 44 minutes.
            Daniels brought down and King misses penalty for assist and goal.
            Still mane captain and Coutino to go.
