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'm not sure that was worth a -12. 😀

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

      Only a -6 really 😉

      1. Cilly Bonnolly

        King was one of my transfers in so I'm still up on the deal but still.

      I've made 9 points on my -12 with Coutinho left.

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Yeah I brought in and captained Coutinho so here's hoping for a haul.

          Not surprised - most people now looking to get him back!

          I'm going Costa / Kane for Llorente / Kun I think, but will wait til Monday to make sure Costa gets through the match.

        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        What were people expecting from Brunt given his away returns? I think the point is a good return, would have had more chance of getting a yellow if he played the full 90. Is it time to say goodbye?

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

          Brunt is gone

            What a total disaster Syd 😆

            Baines - McAuley - Robertson - Fernandez = 5pts
            Snodgrass & Carroll = 3pts
            Hits = -8pts

            Nett = 0pts from six players 😎

            • 11 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Let's ignore Lukaku on a free.

            Groscki (2), Lanzini (2), Llorente (1) = 5 points, for 8 points lost.

        2. Jafooli

          9 years, 1 month ago

          Come the dgw's, you're going to have way too much messing about trying to get decent players to maximize BB (if you still have it). Should have more starters or at least money itb.

          Look at Pedro for Hazard (Hazard outscored him by a couple points over the last 10gws)

          Way too much uncertainty and dissettlement in the Gunners squad. Sanchez to Alli/Erik.

          Coutinho to Mane then maybe.

          Leko to a starting DGW bench fodder (DeRoon or similar, maybe even Albrighton)

          Amat to Yoshida (2 dgws)

          Davies is only nailed until April when Rose returns. Who are you planning on replacing him with?

          Robles out for Valdes or Pickford.

            • 10 Years

            Made 9 points on my -12 with Coutinho left.

            • 12 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            48 -4 - not as good as many on here, and no King, but still Mane (c) to go.

            Expecting to end the week on 52 after Mane 2 pointer 🙂

          5. Fred54
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            -12 + 2 + 2 + 1 + 24 = 17

            Take Lukaku out though...

        5. Jay_
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Coleman just missed out on sneaking a bonus point

            51 points from 9.. Mane & Mee to play tomorrow.

            Last min King, Mawson & Lukaku (c) transfers this morning saved my arse!

            Is Fuenes Mori not nailed all of a sudden?

              • 9 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              After a CS kept it'll always be dodgy. Hull not as aerial though.

              • 13 Years

              Everton keeping a cleanie with Jags playing looks likely Funes is now dropped?

              Was really surprised to see him not start, plus a little fxxxed off cos I thought that would be a cleanie.

              Hope he'll start vs. Hull but it's another unwanted ? over a player.

              Totally agree.. Got 50 in the DGW, and now 64 with Mane(c) + Coutinho to go!

            No one mentioning their Llorente, Lanzini, Carroll hits?

              • 13 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              When Llorente went off most owned up.

            2. Jönny
              • 16 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              Llorente, Lanzini and Countinho here...no pressure, Phil, but you've got a lot of work to do to pay these points off.

            3. Del Griffith
              • 13 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              Carrol hit was a huge risk but he who dares I guess. The Phillips to King hit paid made up for the Carrol blank

            4. Fred54
              • 11 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              2 out of them 3 + Groscki.

              Couldn't even get Antonio V Lanzini right.

          • Sif
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Am I imagining it or did Jaku have a save point for a few mins?

            1. Rainer
              • 9 Years

              Yeah, TP clearly set up to frustrate and smother - Hal Robson Kanu to defend from the front.

              End of Brunt's usefulness a bit now I think, too.

            Best non-Alonso, non-Everton, non-George Friend defender to replace the Chris Bruntosaurous?

            Walker
            Rose (would be preferred if fit)
            Valencia
            Toby

            Is there any others I have missed? I bet Spurs don't concede many over the next few.

              Worth investing in Walker for the rest of the season I think.

                Yeah I can't see beyond him. Kane and Alli too at the other end.
