The day’s events conclude at the Liberty Stadium with Swansea City bidding to claim a vital three points against Everton having seen their relegation rivals slump to defeats.

From a Fantasy perspective, the main focus will be Gylfi Sigurdsson for the home side, with the Icelander having ended a run of five Gameweeks without points with a goal and an assist in his last two outings.

Sigurdsson heads into this match as part of 10.9% of Fantasy Premier League squads, having suffered a minor ownership loss this week. Involved in 53% of the Swans goals this season, with Paul Clement’s side surely buoyed by today’s earlier results, we will be expecting Sigurdsson to maintain his recent upturn.

For Everton, Romelu Lukaku is still part of 40.8% of FPL line-ups despite suffering a heavy loss of 153,000+ owners ahead of today’s game. The Belgian has scored just a single goal in his last eight away trips.

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

    Seems like a terrible idea but how about Kane, Benteke and King (yes mostly all amazing) for Jesus, Costa and Albrighton?

    Would mean 15/15 DGWers. Losing Tekkers, gaining Costa with those fixtures. Getting Jesus in.

    But having to have Albrighton. No Kane. No King.

      it is a terrible idea imo, sorry

        Oh...I see

        1. the snazzy viking
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          I'd say getting Jesus in is a main priority but the other transfers are unnecessary and I've probably spelt unnecessary wrong because I can't spell

    2. You've got red on you.

      Team at the moment.
      2FT. Feel the need for Jesus and Costa.

      BB to be played...

      Caballero - Pickford
      Alonso - Monreal - Stephens - Bailly - Holgate
      Hazard - Sanchez - King - Eriksen - Sane
      Kane - Gabbi - Benteke

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        If you REALLY want Costa and Jesus, then how about shipping Bailly for Yoshida? Does that give you the funds? I think keeping King is a must, but who knows Albrighton did well at the end of last season too.

      2. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…

        8 years, 10 months ago

        Costa will be a SGWer if they win the league in the first game next week.

      Thanks. Will wait until Wednesday in case of injury/ see them play but A was my own gut feeling

  6. Dele
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    13pts from 5 players...

    Should I be confident with 5DGW players to go plus Hazard?

    Yoshi, Bertrand, Kosc, Sanchez (C) & Gabbi

    1. Pierce34
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      That's 13 players to go. No reason to worry yet.

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

    United to beat arsenal tomorrow its written in the stars

    1. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Aren't they playing a half U23 team... I really doubt they win... not a Arsenal or United fan, just looking like they don't care ... all in on EL

  8. Ógie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Gonzalo saves the day

  9. Assisting the assister
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Fellow templaters - panic!

    Rival had KDB (c) and Kompany.

    This is no joke. Pressure on Hazard and Sanchez.

    1. The Wizard of Ozil
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Feel for you buddy.

    2. Assisting the assister
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      I know - 40 point lead ripped to shreds. Thanks mate!

    3. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Gutsy playing KDB... luck is part of the game

    4. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      If he got KdB and Kompany in for the Middlesbrough game the week before, then not much luck to it. You could say he was unlucky last week.

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

    what are sanchez owners realistically expecting from sanchez from tomorrows match

    1. The Wizard of Ozil
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      3 points. But I'd love 6. 11 is a dream.

    2. Pierce34
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Hopefully 3 points for a clean sheet 😀

    3. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Assist minimum.

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

    How many times has Sanchez been RC in his career?

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      you sound worried

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

        just took him out of my squad on WC this week after several weeks of poor shwing

        1. Unsuccessful
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Wish I was that brave because it may just work out

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

            i only have DGW 36 player in my main 11 gabbiadini

    2. Unsuccessful
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      A source which I can't vouch for says just once for Udinese

    3. tambourineman
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Twice at Udinese, one was for two yellows and the other was a straight red for applauding the ref

  12. Baked baines
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    The stand out future transfer!!!

    Siggy last game of the season....home to WBA!!!

    1. The Wizard of Ozil
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Love it.

    2. Sif
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      It's Liverpool mids at home to Boro every time.

  13. Pierce34
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Would've been a good week to play bench boost. Pickford and Brunt on bench, along with Sane's 3 points - that's 17 points already, with Stephens to come. Already met the minimum I had in mind for a DGW bench. And would've allowed a better TC option next week. Oh well, Sanchez still has to play.

  14. Sif
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Hats off to Luke for Vokes fantasy island risk.
    Brace and max bonus.

    Have there been any better?

    1. Ógie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      It was a nice call alright

    2. tambourineman

      Green Windmill posted some stats on Twitter last month:
      https://twitter.com/Green_Windmill/status/849989021094883328

      Jonty (Sterling), Granville (Mawson) and Disable/Luke (Son) have had 15pt picks

  15. JÆKS ⭐
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Had Schmeichel over Caballero the whole time on my wc in 35, until that Bravo injury, 20 points vs 8 points now in the last 2...

  16. Meme2011
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    is clichy a rotation risk?

    1. Unsuccessful
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Yes I'd say he was a higher than average risk

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

    I only have Gabbiadini from tomorrows 2 fixtures, if he gets 2 goals and max bonus im still likely to see a red arrow correct ?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Depends if Sanchez scores a goal etc.

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

        Okay thanks TM

  18. You've got red on you.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Team at the moment.
    2FT. Feel the need for Jesus and Costa.

    BB to be played...

    Caballero - Pickford
    Alonso - Monreal - Stephens - Bailly - Holgate
    Hazard - Sanchez - King - Eriksen - Sane
    Kane - Gabbi - Benteke

    1. You've got red on you.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Any suggestions?

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Looks like Kane and Benteke out.

  19. andy85wsm
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Getting a green arrow with the players I have left is decent enough I'd hope.

    Sanchez captained by 20% of live teams so a haul would be great....as long as it comes against Southampton.

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Captained by way more at your rank or above.

      1. andy85wsm
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Either way theres not many more players to come who could give me a big red arrow other than Costa

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Yeah, pretty much free roll to a better rank now.

        2. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years

          Gabbi can.

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

      Hoping Gabbiadini gets a brace 🙂

      1. andy85wsm

          Napoli reject

    3. Optimus.
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      If Utd won EL does than mean 4thplace in Epl would lose out on CL next season?

      Asking for a friend 😉

      1. andy85wsm
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 15 Years

        It does indeed!

        1. Count of Monte Hristo
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          As a United fan would you rather prevent City or Liverpool from getting in the CL?

          1. Optimus.
            • 15 Years
            8 years, 10 months ago

            Pool of course imo

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

        No, UK will have 5 Teams in CL next season as the EL champion gets it's own CL spot. They changed the rule after Chelsea won it.

        I believe it's a United fan hoping Liverpool will lose their spot to them 😉

        1. Optimus.
          • 15 Years

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years

      1. Count of Monte Hristo
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Can only list the players I grew up watching, I don't identify with your lot.

        1. Jafalad
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Pointless exercise then.

          1. Count of Monte Hristo
            • 12 Years
            8 years, 10 months ago

            Good stuff.

    4. barracuda

      2. Twisted Saltergater
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Inzaghi - natural born finisher

      3. Count of Monte Hristo
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        I was about to put Baggio then I remembered his penalty in the 94 final.

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

          Part of the game. Unfortunate.. Must be still in his head..

    5. Optimus.

      Maldini

      1. Here's Tom with the We…
        • 14 Years

        Maldini

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

        Decent pick, played at solid level till 40ties- similar to Giggs (better personality, not a cheat)

        1. Here's Tom with the We…
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          He's the only one the would get in the worlds best eleven, imo.

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

            I would include him- defo.

        Used to love that on a Sunday and then in Ireland we used to have a highlights program on a Monday night post Italia 90.

      Watched all but Baresi. For some reason, I remember some videos of Italian fans ripping apart jerseys with Del Piero's name on it after he missed some sitters in the WC or Euros around 2000?

      Zoff should be on that list too.
      Maldini out of those but my favourite one is Del Piero

        Because he scored against Ireland in itallia 90 Toto ended up doing drinks adverts in Ireland

          Haha that's brilliant. Brings back some memories thanks for that

    McAuley with two games or Holgate next week fellow sufferers?

    Also who the heck is the best treble Captain? Thinking Jesus but scared. He looked a bit gingerly today

    1. Jafalad

      Has to be Sanchez. Hazard is my current VC but maybe some gametime concerns.

      1. Old Bull
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Isn't Sanchez a little out of sorts?

  25. fedolefan

    Will you make this transfer for GW 37 for a -4?

    Rashford & Valencia ➡ Jesus & Bavies

    I know that fpl discovery has the average number of hits for the top 10K every GW, but do they show the average number of hits for the top 10K at the end of the season?

    Since the top 10K at the end are the "true" top 10K I'm not so interested in the GW to GW hits by players that might not be in the top 10K at the end. I'd like to know the average number of hits by the top 10K at the end though.

    I know it's early, but I'd like to know if this kind of stat will be available somewhere.

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        That won't work as some players will have dropped out of the top 10k.

        1. b✪mber
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          that's exactly what I'm thinking!

        Gold!!! ABSOLUTE GOLD. I'd like the sick guy that does this to do this at the conclusion of this season. (he'll be my hero)

    2. Smarty Pants

      or check out the bottom of these articles:

      final top 10K 13/14: https://fpldiscovery.wordpress.com/2014/05/20/final-top-10000-teams/
      didn't do that last season, but should be similar

        F**K, you're doing all this... thank you Sir. 😀

      No way of getting it that I know of.

      If it's any good to you, the average transfers taken in top 100 is 38.63, maximum of 57, minimum of 28, mode is 32, median is 38.

    A) Gabriel
    B) Clichy
    C) Soares
    D) Blind
    E) Gibbs
    F) P.Jones

    1. Jafalad

      ABCDEF

      B and then who knows

  28. Bruno Bruno!!
    • 10 Years

    Kane to Lukaku
    Alli to Sanchez

    Thoughts

    1. barracuda
      • 9 Years

      Only with 45 next to my head 😀

    2. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Kane to Lukaku maybe... judging from Sunderland and West Ham, players do better when the pressure is off

      1. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        meaning Kane may turn it on for the run in

  29. FISSH
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Cech/Hennessey
    Alonso, Stephens, Yoshi, Robertson, PvA
    Hazard, Sanchez, Alli, Davies, Pedro
    Kane, Jesus, Gabi

    A) Davies > Sane and Hennessey > Cabellero

    B) Alli > KDB and PvA > Kompany

    1. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      A makes sense and B is the knee jerk...

    No Knee Jerk article tonight? Mark must be trying to keep Rondon to himself
