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.

  1. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Top point scorer on 104 with bench boost.Took a -52 though.

    1. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Still beats Scout Picks 79 with 10 hits !

  2. TOPCAT1960
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Top Scorer has 104 but -52 in hits, was it worth it ha ha

    1. TOPCAT1960
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      so I beat him...

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

    King still back on pens after afobe missing as well?

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

      Daniels may be at the top of the pile now.

      1. Eze Really?
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Nah. King will be back after hattie.

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

      Well his confidence is high but it could go back to Daniels

  4. bitm2007
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Highest score of the GW so far is a bit misleading. A -52 (13 hits) were taken to achieve 104 points.

  5. Steevo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Presumably no way of seeing your GW rank with hits taken into account?

  6. Eze Really?
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Llorente Baines. I have both but want to wait until tomorrow to change after Pool game. Will they drop?

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

      No both are close to rising

      1. Eze Really?
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Yeah but they are dropping like stones now.

    2. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Llorente was bought heavily today and may rise

      1. Eze Really?
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        See above. Also the powers that be are inconsistent lately. Maybe when they see a reversal they just leave them alone.

  7. leocarter27
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    69 points so far! With Firmino to play. Gameweek rank 6194. Well pleased

    1. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Well done. Hoping to get up there tomorrow. 60 points with Mane, Coutinho and Gray to come.

    2. Eze Really?
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Firmino is injured? I have Mane and Cout to come with 63pts

  8. Fpl Richie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Not necessarily this week but best replacement for Baines?
    Have him, Goalman, Alonso, Holebas and McAuley. Frankly I would only be keen on keeping the first two anyway.

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

      Vertongen or Valencia

  9. tm245
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    King missed a PK? Just realized the math didn't add up on his hat trick.

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

      Yes and so did afobe

      1. tm245
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Whoa - he got removed from PKs and then Afobe missed too?

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

      He did,within the first 10 mins

  10. Harper_
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    2nd closed the gap on 1st to 41, has BB, AOA and WC still remaining, Triple Captain used

  11. Dušan Citizen
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

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

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

  13. DMP
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

  15. Sponge-worthy
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    1. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Don't go there

      1. Sponge-worthy

  19. TheDogTor
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Does anyone have a list of the teams who have upcoming double game weeks?

    I know we expect the big one to be gwk 37, but there should also be another. Anyone know when that should be scheduled also? Cheers.

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

      Everyone who's blanked will have one but we don't know when yet

      1. bitm2007
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Not if they play midweek in GW34 after a blank at the weekend.

    2. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Can't tell at the moments as some of the rearranged match will be in GW34 that also has blanks.

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

        Cheers, thats interesting. Not managed to frequent this place as much this season, so a little out the loop. I'm considering the wildcard right as my teams a little all over the show, after too decent weeks though.

        1. bitm2007
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          The following won't have DGW's

          Everton
          Liverpool
          Hull
          Swansea
          WHU
          Stoke

          Arsenal and either Southampton or United will have two.

          The rest will have one or two depending on GW34 blanks.

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

  23. Foozeball
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Snodgrass -> Alli
    Or Llorente -> Kane?

    I only have enough funds to do one, unless I take a -8 and transfer Baines for a defender of 4.8 or less

  24. Greenbackbøøg…
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    King is 4th on top scorers list now with 11 goals, incredible season he's having

    1. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      4th within the midfielders *

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

      For midfielders???
      Don't think 11 goals is 4th overall

      1. Greenbackbøøg…
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        For mids

    3. Sims
      • 9 Years

    5. Harper_
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

    6. Steevo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      9 in the last 10 GWs? Incredible form

  25. Speédy
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    35 points on the pitch,28 on the bench,I take that

  26. Sims
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Only 4k rise after 46 (-4)

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

      Ditto for me...modest move from 20K -> 16K OR with 46(-8)

      Mane and Coutinho to go...might get a bit more out of this GW

  27. 824545201
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    I shouldn't have benchwankered.

    I'm really interested how much i've risen today.

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

      +1

  28. Forza Papac
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
