The Gameweek continues with a batch of three o’clock kick-offs, as our eyes are drawn to Goodison Park.

Everton take on Hull City on Merseyside with striker Romelu Lukaku again the top captaincy pick in the Gameweek. Now part of more than two million squads, the Belgian is backed by more than a million of those – 24.6% of FPL managers – with the captaincy ahead of the Tigers clash.

With over 257,000 new Gameweek 29 owners, Diego Costa drops in on the bet365 Stadium to take on Stoke City. He’ll look to provide the cutting edge for leaders Chelsea, but will need to cope without the support of Eden Hazard – the playmaker is missing from the Blues line-up having been sidelined by a “little problem” according to manager Antonio Conte. Owned by almost 1.3 million, Hazard was brought into more than 83,000 new squads prior to today’s deadline.

Elsewhere, Jermain Defoe will look to improve on a run that has seen him register returns in just one of his last six Gameweeks when Burnley pay visit to the Stadium of Light. The veteran striker was acquired by over 88,000 FPL managers ahead of the Clarets clash.

West Ham host the ever-improving Leicester City at the London Stadium, with Fantasy managers scouting the claims of Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez ahead of back-to-back home fixtures for the champions.

Meanwhile, Sam Allardyce’s Crystal Palace go in search of a third successive win and clean sheet when they face Watford at Selhurst Park.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Any non-Lukaku owners wanna join my support group?

      Yep Sanchez captain

    2. Sonic Huth

      No

      Why oh why wouldnt you own him?

      1. Deulofail
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Because I would have planned to get rid of him after this match. Owning for 2 games seemed like poor planning when I wanted the FTs for Kane and to spend all my money ITB.

        1. Deulofail
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          (So I chose Llorente, Mane and Firmino for GW28 instead)

  2. Speédy

    Lol at all lukaku-vardy suggesters

      1. Deulofail
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Can you extend your sympathy to those outside the top 10k please?

      9 years, 1 month ago

      No Kaku (c)? It was a no brainer this week. I hate Kaku (c) and even I did it

      So sorry mate. Hope you'll recover last few weeks and come back stronger.

      +1 was waiting for someone to share this!

        Haha same!

    2. Stokelona

    Trolling the non cappers

  12. Syd.
    • 16 Years

    15 of extra time in the ruggers

  13. Davido989
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Sakho 3 starts, 3 clean sheets, 3 MOTM. Nvm, personal issues come first. 😆

    1. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Liverpools best defender

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Klopp too stubborn 🙁

    3. Godot - Fashanu Zealand
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Never mind, we've got Lucas Leiva to fill in. He has proven himself to be a top level centre back throughout his career, so no need to worry.

    4. HazardAGuess
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      8 PPG Ratio 😉

  14. Ridcully
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    If I had come in from the garden 10 minutes earlier I would of had the excitement of my Lukaku(C) brace. Still very pleased, but not as exciting as it would of been live.

    1. Ridcully
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      "Live" implies I would have been at the game. It would have been reading it in here.

    2. Individual

      Doesn't matter. As long as you got the feeling of 😀 that's all that matters!!

  16. niko mate
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Not good. I have Lukaku, but knowing how many people captained him, it's not good.

    1. Crow
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      173% so it's bad if you didn't cap

  17. MTPockets
      9 years, 1 month ago

        Sakho, what a hero 😎

        Klopp needs to bring him back into the fold

      6. Goodricke
