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.

    One more hit

    Aguero and Firmino to Sanchez and Kane.

    Seems perfect.

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

      I'd buy that for a dollar

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

      Costa and Firm to Sanchez and Kane here. Transfer buzz doesn't come much better than these!

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

        Tempted to just do it now?!

        It mean's I remain 3-5-2 for now and Gabiaddini will have to wait his turn.

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

          Who are your 5 mids?

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

            They will be Sanchez, Coutinho, Sterling, King and Siggurdson

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

          Deffo doing it for this game week, Gabbi in for the big derby?

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

      Not sure Sanchez is a great pick if giroud continuaally starts

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

        Better than firmino 🙂

        I'm miles ahead in my ML so a player like him is essential.

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

          Probably, might be better differentials to punish them heavier

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

    Using my FT to get rid of Rondon for Kane, but what to do with Snodgrass?

  3. Whats the Mata?
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    ibra falling and kane rising tonight
    had to do the move

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

      Kane wont rise tonight

      1. Whats the Mata?
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        he is

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

          Only at 65 on fplsstatistics.com

  4. Smoky Johnson
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Hebknut (FPL #1) only 3 points from closest rival.. He is missing BB also. His days as numero uno are soon to be over..

    1. Lawrø
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      He still has a whole Mane(c) over #2 though

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

      He has had a good run

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

      Depends on Mané tomorrow tbf... a brace would see him 30+ points clear again 😉

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

    Tempted to wildcard with a lot of dead wood (McAuley, Snod, Baines, Llorente, Holebas etc). Any consensus on when is best?

  6. tattywelshie
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Brunt to Manson?

    A. No brainer
    B. No way

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

      Marilyn?

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

        Charles

      2. Jay_
          8 years, 9 months ago

          Don't be so silly, he means Charles

    2. Plagued by indecision
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      I had made up my mind to quit Fantasy at the end of this season. My last-minute Phillips > King and the adrenaline rush is making me reconsider...

    3. Dacra
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      41 (-8) with Mane and Coutinho to go. Decent but that late Swansea goal hurt Robertson and Jaku, even having Siggy..

      ML rival had Barkley, Schneiderlin, Lukaku (c) fluked an awesome score from a team of 5 playing..

    4. Bruno Bruno!!
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      46 points before (-8) and Mane left to play happy with that. Should have captained Lukaku instead of Coleman but still happy days 🙂

    5. denial
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Finally moved into top 100k for first time this season.

      Been a slog getting there

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

      Aguero and Sterling > Kane and Sanchez is worth the -4, right?

      1. Smoky Johnson
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        I have the exact same decision to make. Not entirely convinced.

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

        Oh yes.

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

      I should take -8s more often

      1. Oven Glover
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        I prefer -20s

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

      Totally misspelt my last question!

      Brunt to Mawson

      A. Yes yes yes
      B. Not worth it

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

        Yes

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

        A

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

        C. Someone else IMO. e.g Vertonghen.

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

        B

      5. Rasping Drive
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        A with knobs on

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

          Hahaha best reply!

      6. rocky7st
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Think you missed the week to get him in. Very dependent on attacking plays as CS look a rarity.

      7. Effe
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        A

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

      GW27 + GW28 success!! Gone from 305k to 158k in 2 weeks

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

        Well played.

    10. Bruno Bruno!!
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Jonty must be well happy with his 60 points plus Mane+Coutinho to go

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

      Aguero > Kane is pencilled in for tomorrow night. Should I take the hit and do Sterling > Sanchez as well?

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

        Yes get Sanchez

    12. Dacra
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      NNobody fancy Aguero v Liverpool? As a Liverpool fan, think im keeping him..

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

        Kane for the rest of the season is even better 😀

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

          Meh im keeping Alli, no plan to get Kane.

      2. Oven Glover
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        I'm keeping him and Sterling for the Pool game.

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

        Trying to figure out Costa or Aguero for Kane. Not sure yet.

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

        I don't. Given how poor my decisions have been though you should be getting Aguero then.

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

          Wouldn't get Aguero, just think people with could regret selling..

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

        Yep one more week for me. City sounded like they're creating a lot. Only heard it on the radio though.

      6. Weasel Boy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Have Kane already so considering keeping Kun as Liverpool always concede.

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

      If Spurs win, both semifinals will be massive. Is there a separate draw or have they already been drawn?

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

        Draw is on Monday night after the Chelsea v Utd game

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

        Separate draw

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

        Imagine a Manchester derby AND a north London derby in the semis

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

          Was just thinking same, but even a London derby would be pretty massive as well.

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

          That's what I see happening

      4. dhamphiir
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Draw is on Monday

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

        Cheers, all.

    14. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      .1 short of Walker 🙁 Is Toby worth going for? Surely due a goal or two soon?

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

        find a way to get walker

      2. Graz Doz Trez
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Ben Davies.

      When you go against your own advice and buy f****** Lanzini. Will I ever learn ...

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

        Good result for Arsenal today. That was they needed - to drub some small team and get some confidence back. Now they need to take that to WBA

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

          Yes! Much needed win after frustrating weeks. I think I might buy Sanchez back sooner than I expected.

      2. Rasping Drive
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        I feel for you brother. I sold King for Lanzini at 13:58 and reversed the trade at 14:00. Charmed life.

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

          Wow, amazing last minute move on WC! Worth a screenshot 😆

          1. Rasping Drive
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years
            8 years, 9 months ago

            If you tell me how, I will share!

    16. anish10
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Aguero > Kane

      +

      Firmino > Pedro

      worth it?

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

        Wait and see how Firmino is, Liv have good fixtures after next week.

    17. Bruno Bruno!!
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      So far GW28 and 27 transfers have landed me a net gain of 17 points

    18. Tomas Brolin ate all Depays
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Who u ringing in next week?

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

        Gotta ring me mother

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

        Kane Alli

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

        Harold

      4. EDEN THE MAN
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Kane and that's all folks.

        1. Fred54
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          Yeah, laying off them hits for a bit!

    19. VFORVANDETA
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Save Kun for liv game or sell?

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

        I am saving

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

        Pretty close decision either way I guess

      3. Weasel Boy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Keeping in think

    20. WE GO FOR IT
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Pick one:

      A. Llorente, Mane -> Kane, Feghouli (Have Coutinho and Antonio)
      B. Kun, Llorente -> Kane, Defoe/Deeney
      C. Kun, Zaha -> Kane, Pedro/Walcott
      D. Kun, Coutinho -> Kane, Alli/Eriksen

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

      Anyone hoping Firmino plays tomorrow (I know the chance is less than 10%)?

    22. Gunners for Lyfe
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      brought in Siggy this week and boy he didn't disappoint

      made me think who are the players that you think have been performing well but never made it to your team because of not having enough $$ in the bank or some other reason. Mine have been Siggy and Defoe (amazing value in retrospect)

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

        don't know why but i never had costa or alonso this season

    23. GreatCarragherReef
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Decision that could be a big one going forward...

      A) Llorente, Firmino/Mane ----> Kane, T.Carrol
      B) Aguero, Firmino/Mane ----> Kane, Sanchez

      A would leave me with no money to do sterling to eriksen going forward but would have lukaku, Kane, Aguero up top

      any thoughts welcome

    24. EDEN THE MAN
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Essentials for the run in?

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

      Baines >

      A Vertogen
      B Valencia

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

        B although I think Baines is back next game
