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.

        You'll feel very stupid if Lukaku is injured in the warmup

      3. El-Kloppico
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        My ML leader is a pure genius!
        He's got Nyom, when I've gone Brunt!
        He's capped Kane when he got his Hatty and I kept the armband on Mané for a supposedly juicy fixtures against Swans..
        He's sold Ibra for Llorente when I kept my patience to keep Ibra against BOU, expecting a super haul!

        1. Ziro
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          But you are great in the Scout Picks. 😉

          Two "rival" posts in a row ha...

            • 10 Years
            8 years, 9 months ago

            Casuals win 50% of the time.. And we're in the wrong 50% imo.

            1. Atwood
              • 15 Years
              8 years, 9 months ago

              Resolution for next season - unlearn all I know about FPL

      4. Atwood
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Guy at the top of my league is a casual and I swear he keeps getting lucky. That probably sounds bitter I know but this week is a good example. He has Aguero captain, with King as his vice. Unchaged since last week. I guarantee it works out.

          Just because you're damn good. There's nothing like luck/bad luck in this game.

      8. La Roja

        Koeman "it's a wrong game for Mori hence started Phil"

        1. Ha.
          • 10 Years

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

          That went wring though. Now up against Robson-Kanu not Rondon

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

            No thanks shocking fixtures and would be on my bench from now anyway.

      10. Syd.
        • 16 Years

        Rondon 😎

        1. F4L
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          Watch him go on a goalstreak after this GW

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

          If there was ever a case of form over fixtures - he is it. Get him out.

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

            Yep i shall never make this mistake again

        after going through this, I counted an expected 6.6 starting players this gw for top 10k. with an average of -3.2 in hits

        8 years, 9 months ago

        This week is the decider for me if Trollkaku truly still is Trollkaku.

        Been very good to us the last few week, wouldn't it be just like him to be non existent the week we need him most?

        1. Ha.
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          He was fairly non-existent last weekend

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

          I think you need him next week. Hull are rubbish

      13. Revival
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Lukaku scored in all his home games so far in 2017

      14. ljuta zena
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Assuming line ups, it will be disastrofy 🙂

      15. Laurel and Vardy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Here we go. Good luck all!

      16. Pep says
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        So 2 weeks ago the Phillips rumour was true, today the Brunt rumour. Where are these rumours coming from???

        1. diesel001
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          WBA mole

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

          Which rumours?

      17. Viprin
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Are all managers anti-fpl?

        1. diesel001
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          Conte is not.

        2. Rainer
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          Klopp is generally sound and reliable. Pulis is king troll.

          1. Business Cat
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 9 months ago

            I'll refer you to the DGWs last season...Klopp rotation single handedly de-railed my season last year 🙂

        3. El-Kloppico
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          Pep is! The rest not so much.

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

        So glad WHU have kept the 4231 formation with Lanzini as the 10. I gambled he would keep that formation by bringing in Lanzini over Antonio and he has.

        1. RamaJama
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          You're a pure genious!

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

            That's how I dos mate

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

            Apparently not hahahahah

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

          Good choice, Lanzini is a better choice than Ant whatever formation though imo.

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

            Less chance to make an impact from deeper in the formtion though. He gets points for assists and goals.

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

            Famous last words! Antonio goals. FML!

        3. Jazz!
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          Erm. They are 4-4-1-1 with Antonio behind Carroll. Lanzini wide left.

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

            I haven't got any kind of television subscrpition here so I am going off the BBC live blog frmation which shows him as a 10 and Antonio on the left. Gutted!

      19. Revival
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years

        1. Pep says
          • 10 Years

          Surely he's due next week?

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

          I only got him a few weeks ago because of this GW, such a waste.

        3. Rainer
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          Whats another GW to hold... have to wait now after holding for 15GWs

      21. Differentiator

        Kane playing against Millwall?

        1. The Bandit
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          Teams not out but I expect he will start

          1. JustPark
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 9 months ago

            But it's Millwall..

            1. Pep says
              • 10 Years
              8 years, 9 months ago

              Keep him fresh and in form, why not.

              1. JustPark
                • 9 Years
                8 years, 9 months ago

                Not worth the injury might be getting for that.

        2. Pep says
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago
