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.

        Does Holgate + Llorente + Coleman/Walker/Alonso to Wasilewski + Kane + Mawson seem like good moves? If so, which one of the 3 defenders, C/W/A??

        How urgent is getting Sanchez? Was considering Kun to Kane and Snod to Pedro/Haz instead.

        1. Rainer

        Interesting olsson played on after a knock on 70 mins but is flagged. Any reason for this? Did he go down at the end or did Clement say anything about an injury

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

          Martin Olsson also got a knock on his ankle "he was not 100 percent but was able to continue." #Swansea

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

            I thinh he's gonna be fine. Antonio should probably also get flagged by this because of his shoulder injury.

      • Il Papera

        Any thoughts on who season keepers are now?

        Walker
        Alli
        Kane
        Alonso
        Lukaku
        Mane
        Coleman

        A keeper keeper?
        Sanchez?
        Siggy?

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

          Lukaku or Costa. Pedro? I like Siggy, he's a dream fantasy player. Will score a few more goals before end of season and assists alot! Sanchez is currently on hold I think.

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

          Season keepers? We have just 10 weeks left. May be I'm in the minority, but this late in the season, if you think a Josh King can score more points than Sanchez, then you make the transfer.

          1. Il Papera
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Run in players, whatever you want to call them. My point being, you need a spine to the team of 6-7 players who are heavily involved in season outcomes and then the punts like King can be switched on a weekly basis where necessary.
