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.

    • 11 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Think it's the end of the line for McAuley and Foster; my GW1 stalwarts.

    1. matiakez
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      With you on foster, he's lucky to have survived this long really.

      1. Rains of Castamere
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Have Pickford (BUR) this week but GMac is gone for Walker.

    2. OMG LoL

      1. Rains of Castamere
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Will WC soon and have two keepers with DGWs, i.e. Forster and Pickford

  5. rocky7st
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    -16 to bring in King, Mawson, Llorente, Siggy, Cout all worked bar the injury to Llorente

  6. Phil Dagger ⭐
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    I hope Everyone i advised to get King got King in the end. He is ruling the FPL today

  7. 824545201
    • 9 Years

    Scout picks prefer Olsson over Mawson.
    Olsson 0 points, Mawson 8.

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Specsavers?

    2. Phil Dagger ⭐
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      I will thank Scout picks for that 🙂 . I have Mawson in my team. Really happy they chose Olsson

      1. bitm2007
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        They choose Mawson !. See top right of screen.

  8. Viper
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    My main rival is approx 300 in the world and has scored 63 this week with no hits.

    He is in for a big climb. He could win it 😆

  9. Phil Dagger ⭐
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Haha gibbs

  10. Athletic Nasherbo
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Baines has put a spanner in the works for my GW29 plans!

    Deeney a good option or is it just better to go to Gabbiadini?

    1. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      His injury? Isn't he supposed to be fine?

      1. Athletic Nasherbo
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        All Koeman said was he had trouble with his back. Hopefully it's precautionary but it doesn't look great. Patience I guess for now, unfortunately.

  11. Judeksi
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    43pts and Mane (C) + Ward to go. Couple goals for Mane would be amazing!

  12. dhamphiir
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Anyone with Heaton and Pickford, keeping Heaton? He has 3 away games in next 5 games.

    I''m planning to transfer him out to buy Lloris

  13. Fpl Richie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Is there any chance at all Sanchez will drop or has that ship sailed? .1 short if I want Kane too, but want a Snod upgrade (Pedro, Walcott under consideration).

    1. Top 210 Club
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Walcott

    2. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Oh actually Walcott recent record looks nasty. I'll watch for now.

  14. KingOllie
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Who else had funes mori and baines? Missed out on 10 points ffs

    1. Pique boo
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Funes Mori and Coleman for me

  15. Feloh
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    will Kane and king rise tonight

    1. Phil Dagger ⭐
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      King most likely
      kane will be close.

    2. WVA
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Kane only on +59

  16. Atwood
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    McCronix to answer your question on last page his overall rank is just inside the top 20k.

    1. Ha.
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Soon to be top10k!

      1. Atwood
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Oh he'll win the whole thing, believe me!

    2. E25
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Strong... You sure he's a casual and not hustling you? 😉

  17. Lawrø
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Looking good to go for next week? 😀

    Pickford
    Alonso / Coleman / Mawson
    Mane / Coutinho / Sigurdsson / King
    Aguero / Kane / Lukaku

    Heaton / Brunt / McAuley / Carroll / 0.6m in the bank 😎

    I'm already starting to think WBA might stifle Arsenal in the early kick off...

    1. WVA
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Looks good! WBA couldn't stifle anyone atm.

    2. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Really good - great team!

    3. Sideways Backwards
      • 10 Years

      Decent, but I'm actually starting to think west brom are already on the beach

    4. Harper_

      how u afford dis 🙁

      1. Lawrø
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Yeah I hadn't realised how much my TV had risen these last two weeks! 😯

      2. walkman666
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        King and Carroll as 4th and 5th mids, and only two pricey defenders, one of whom had a base price of 5.5m at the outset. Likely insufficient cash to get Alexis back with a single trade, but so what, it can easily be done in two moves. Great moves Lawson did. I sure wish I got king for Sterling and held Aguero over Llorente myself!

        1. Harper_
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          And the small fact that he has a TV of £107.8 😉

    5. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Yep, looks good.

      Need to start getting some more Spurs in there...less WBA

      1. Lawrø
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Yep, Brunt is on the hit list and would love Alli back somehow 🙂

        Thanks everyone

        1. Business Cat
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          Not without flogging Aguero.

          Any Sanchez plan, or not interested?

          1. Lawrø
            • 14 Years
            8 years, 11 months ago

            Not interested at the moment... subject to change 😉

  18. Garth Marenghi
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Is it worth to get King in now? With Chelsea, Liverpool, spurs, southampton in the next 5 games?

    1. The Big Fella
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Look into the horizon there..... you can see the boat sailing away

      1. Garth Marenghi
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Yea, maybe after that stretch

    3. Walker- Eiksen- Alli

    1. Ha.

    2. Rainer

      Walker - Alli - Kane but I'm happy with just Walker & Kane!

  21. Pigsinblankets
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    I stopped paying attention after king's penalty miss, couldn't believe it when I checked and saw the hatty. I take it all back!

    Shame about Baines, hope it was just a niggle?

  22. Arctic monkeys
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Not that everyone care but two massive regrets for me this GW:

    Selling Aguero for Llorente and I want Kun so much now gainst Liverpool.
    Starting Jaku ahead of Randolph.

  23. twoplustwo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Llorente or Snoddie next week assuming no injuries? Need to bench one.

    1. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Play Llorente. Snod just isn't a good option right now.

  24. The Big Fella
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    This will be a low scoring week they said, best to bring in people like Llorente who will be a longer term option they said, don't get rid of Baines before GW28 they said......

    1. walkman666
