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.

    Nice of Lincoln to give the Arsenal fans a game to remember!

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

    Arsenal had to score 5. Now concede one and let's get back to the 5-1 jokes.

  3. A.T
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Arsenal doing a Bayern

  4. Lav
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Sanchez back in for Eriksen (-4) crazy?

    1. Giovanni Giorgio
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Yes.

  5. Loðbrók
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Snodgrass -> King worth -4?

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

      It was today. Probably

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

        Yeah well...............
        Any other thoughts?

        King has 2 good fixtures, and Snodgrass set for the bench?

    2. Forza Papac
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Bit late in the game to jumping on the King bandwagon. Fixtures aren't great after Swansea

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

        Its a 2 week punt. Southampton doesn't have the defence they used to have.

        Plus Snodgrass is he even gonna play?

        What would you do with Snodgrass?

  6. James101
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Thoughts on getting hazard in?

    Anyone tempted?

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

      I might get Pedro in rather than Hazard or Costa.

    2. Unbowed Unbent N'Golo
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      I've currently got Costa but think I'll replace him with Kane and try to work Hazard in..

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

    Help! I know it's early but I've given myself a midfield dilemma for gw 29.

    Bench one?!

    Sterling (liv H)
    Firmino (Cit A)
    King (Swa H)
    Siggy (Bou A)
    Antonio (Lei H)

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

      Firmino

    2. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      What are your strikers

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

        Carroll Kane Lukaku

    3. OMG LoL
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      bench Caroll, couldn't find him on the pitch today

  8. FPL Blow-In
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Hello folks. Can't get rid of Snodgrass faster from my team! What do you think?

    Aguero and Snodgrass to Costa and Alli worth a -4?

    Pickford
    Alonso, Walker, Baines
    Mane, Siggy, Snodgrass, King
    Aguero, Kane, Lukaku

    Foster, Maguire, De Roon, Amat 1m itb

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

      No, not worth a -4. Just do it next week

    2. Flynny
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Sounds good....

      You will want sanchez soon 5ho....how u gonna do that?

      Downgrade lukaku to Gabbiadini?

      1. FPL Blow-In
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        That's the plan but in gw 30.

  9. Gudjohnsen
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Any further news on Firmino?

    1. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Unlikely to play is the general consensus

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

    Is Wenger going to fist-pump every goal?

  11. Rupert The Horse
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Woo hoo. 5 goals wins me bet.

  12. Mayo for Sam
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Who goes

    A Baines
    B Brunt

    Who comes in

    1 Valencia
    2 Walker

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

      Brunt to Walker

    2. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Both

      Both

  13. Pique boo
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Jaku Pickford
    Alonso Mawson A.Smith Coleman Funes
    King Siggy Coutinho Sane Sterling
    Costa Kane Lukaku

    1 FT 1.9 ITB

    What's the best move? Sane to Alli?

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

    60 points with Mane, Coutinho and Gray to play.

    My dreadful season and OR have improved dramatically form 405k to 239k, not chasing DGW players in GW27 appears to be paying off.

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

    Anyone know when Van Djik is expected back?

  16. Differentiator
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Sanchezzential

  17. Somalion
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    How many more goals before the Arsenal fans reckon they have the PL in the bag next season?

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

    Hmm. Waiting to bring in Alexis might be impossible.

  19. twoplustwo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Any West Ham fans shed any light on why Snoddie isn't starting?

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

      Not certain but doesn't look in great form. He did have a minor injury as a result of Chelsea though - could be that.

    2. Flynny
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Cos from the games I've seen on TV he has been dreadful

  20. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Looks like 11.5 is as low as Sanchez is going to get...

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Might go down tonight

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

        not happening, people bringing him in now

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

        He's rising back from what I can see

  21. JJJ
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Llorente, what kind of knock did he take?
    Was going to swap out Niasse for Kane, but now am thinking Llorente.
    Any suggestions?

    thanks

      Dead leg.

    2. Differentiator
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Dead leg. Usually clears up fairly quickly. Would be surprised if not ready for next GW

  22. arkom

    Hi guys! My team now is:

    Grant - Randolph
    Alonso - Baines - Brunt - Fernandez - Love
    Mane - Pedro - Alli - Sigurdsson - King
    Costa - Lukaku - Llorente

    1 free transfer.
    6.6£ ITB.

    Any tips??

    1. 1966 was a great year for E…
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      I'd just do Llorente to Kane.

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

        Ok. Thanks! Maybe later Baines to Walker also..

    2. weaver93
      • 14 Years

      llorente - kane

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

      Kane for Llorente?

  23. Somalion
    • 15 Years

    Sanchez FA Cup player confirmed

  24. Fred54

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

      I'd fancy Spurs 🙂

  25. Ziro
    • 10 Years

    This Lincoln team has some brilliant names. Power, Waterfall, Woodyard

  26. MidTableFantasy

    1. Speédy

      Yes

  27. Giovanni Giorgio

    1. Giovanni Giorgio
      • 12 Years

      I would probably look at getting rid off McAuley too. WBA fixtures not looking great to say the least.

      1. aleksios
        • 10 Years

        spurs players more urgent now ,nest week gone for sure thanks

    Baines injury serious???

    1. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Back problem, have to wait on news but he keeps picking up niggling injuries

    2. Richd
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Koeman said he plays next game. So, not serious no.

      1. walkman666
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Is this really real? That would be a good thing for us Baines owners, despite the 1 pointer today.

  30. Rains of Castamere
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Already 300 transfers in for Niasse.

    He can't play against his parent club.
