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.

    Best cheap mid bench fodder to free up cash for Llorente -> Kane?
    Tom Carroll still the best option?

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

      Yes and likely to stay it!

    2. 8ball

      Who I am going with

  2. Allthepresidentsmen

    9 years, 1 month ago

    If a player is subed on after his team has conceded and plays 60 mins doesn't concede a goal does he get a clean sheet bonus ?

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

      Ye if he plays 60

      1. thericeking
        • 9 Years

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

          Of course he doesn't, he only played 58.

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

    Really feel King wouldn't have got Hatrick had he scored that Penalty,
    The Guilt played a major part in this Hatrick

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

      Ball bounced to him twice, so it was meant for him today. He did a good job finishing it off.

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

    Best bench fodder for mids? And is everyone smacking Kane in their team this week? Lovely jubbly

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

  5. micsway

    • 13 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    If you've tailored your team for this week are u not tempted to WC now with DGW players eg Man U ars south

    1. E25
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Depends how tailored. Most people will have balanced squads which don't need a WC this week

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

    Lincoln City looks better than PL relegation fighting teams..

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

            Top 10,000 average is 33, and overall 15 so happy in respect. Seems slightly below average on here though, should be a decent green arrow anyway.

    @TM how close did you come to getting Josh King? Did you know Mark had got him?

    Mods and con ML is really hotting up. I think there will be a few twists and turns yet.

    Eddie Howe doesn't like his star midfielders settling in. I wouldn't be surprised if King gets benched for Stanislas

    There is one guy in my ML. Any player he brings in his team, they stop scoring! No matter what their form is. What to do with him??!?

      FM IMO. Jags got a one off outing. FM has been doing well.
