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.

    Llorente and Mawson both sat on my bench 🙁

      Who did you play instead ?

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

        Rannochia at the back home to Sunderland. I do have mustafi though and he may not play.

        Front 7 is alli, eriksen, king, Sanchez, hazard, Jesus and gabbi

          You could still be in for a decent haul yet, don't despair, always annoying leaving points on the bench I know but all part of the game. At least you have Llorente and Mawson for the last couple of games !

      Harsh, you'd have though Everton would score.

      A lot of teams are loaded up with talent on the bench now, so we need a bit of luck for them to score the points when we bench boost.

      Not looking good for them, is it. Beating Sunderland was a must.

    Is getting beat most weeks but surviving better than going down and winning most weeks?

    1. tm245
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Their supporters get to watch much better opposition this way.

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Real fans want to see their team winning games

        1. tm245
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Really?

          1. The Bandit
            • 15 Years
            8 years, 10 months ago

            Yes really. You think real fans want to see their team getting beaten? Bizarre

        2. Deulofail

          What are you on about?

          1. The Bandit
            • 15 Years
            8 years, 10 months ago

            I'm on about being a real fan

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

              So a real fan doesn't want to win the Championship, but just to do pretty well.

              1. The Bandit
                • 15 Years
                8 years, 10 months ago

                What are you talking about?

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

                  I'm talking about your theory that real fans want their teams to win without being promoted to the premier league where they will win less. Would you prefer your team to play non-league football?

                  1. The Bandit
                    • 15 Years
                    8 years, 10 months ago

                    Sober up

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

      How can you go down by winning most weeks?

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        The following season, obviously 🙄

        1. iron2010
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Any fan wants their team to be the best they can. Swansea are hugely over achieving by just being in the prem and the fans are fiercely proud of that.

    3. The Rock
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Of course, get to play in the PL.

    4. nkhoughton

      How do you think we will get on tomorrow?

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Going down

    5. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Ok, I'll start again. Is getting beaten most weeks but just surviving better than getting relegated and winning most games the following season?

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

        Do you get promoted that season?

        1. The Bandit
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Sigh

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

            Pointless winning if you don't get promoted.

            1. The Bandit
              • 15 Years
              8 years, 10 months ago

              Don't agree. Paying to go to a game and watch your team is crap, you have no idea what being a true fan is like

              1. The Bandit
                • 15 Years
                8 years, 10 months ago

                *your team lose

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

                Do you think Newcastle supporters would rather be in the PL or being stuck in the Championship and winning games?

                1. The Bandit
                  • 15 Years
                  8 years, 10 months ago

                  They would rather be in the Prem because they think they will do well. They would rather watch them winning most weeks in the Championship than losing most weeks in the Prem though. Clearly your view and that of others is that they would rather see the team lose to quality players

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

                    Think Sunderland would love to finish 17th every season then be relegated and win their fair share. Newcastle has had a bit of practice so probably wasn't a good comparison. Norwich and Villa would rather be in the Prem being rubbish.

                    1. The Bandit
                      • 15 Years
                      8 years, 10 months ago

                      You seem oblivious to my point. People who pay To go to games want their exam to win, not be excited by losing to top teams

                      1. The Bandit
                        • 15 Years
                        8 years, 10 months ago

                        exam? Team obvs

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

                        I get your point. Beating a rubbish side seems to be better than losing to top teams in your eyes. Much easier to stay up than get there once relegated. Wigan in League 1 next season for example.

                      3. The Bandit
                        • 15 Years
                        8 years, 10 months ago

                        You clearly don't get my point at all. When you pay to go to a game you want them to win.

                      4. TorresMagic™
                        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

                        Just pay for the games you think they can win 😉

                        Bored now, as you've never been a real fan paying to get a season ticket your opinion is invalid

                        I don't see how you can justify preferring the Championship to the PL after what happened with LFC last season.

        I've heard this argument on the radio a few times. As a supporter who pays to follow their team AND be entertained, I think I'd rather experience the rollercoaster of being relegated and then being competitive in the lower division and winning some games.

        The problem arises if the club hasn't been run well and you tread water after relegation or worse, struggle again.

        It's better to be in the better league because there is always hope. No one wants to win playing losers.

            🙂 Let's hope Blind doesn't play

          Everton v Watford next week. On a scale of holidays, who's gone to Bognor for the weekend, and who's at the Maldives?

        How about a Troll Chip for next season? Not sure how it would work yet....

        1. Jafooli
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          You can place it on a rivals players whose points are automatically made negative.

          So 12pt'er would become -12

        2. b✪mber

        The Trolkaku nonsense has started already.

          Utterly baffling. He is one of the most predictable picks in FPL.

          He scores when he wants (at home)... He scorrrrrrres when he waaaaaaants (at home)... Romelu Lukaku, he scores when he wants (at home).

          The amount of people who have done that or even captained him is unreal.

        Nothing for Siggy & Lukaku.

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

          Yep. Only King and Jesus for me today so I'm pretty satisfied with the way things panned out.

      11. DA Minnion (Former great)
        • 13 Years

          So... What WC GW36 template players are we transfering out, then? Che/Spurs assets, once Mid are beaten?

          1. Ben the Mee
              8 years, 10 months ago

              Everyone ditching their Spurs assets for City's

                Can't have more than three, though. And Willy, Jesus and, to a certain degree, Sane was all somewhat template.

            • 16 Years
            8 years, 10 months ago

            Only 2 players today. King & Jesus
