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.

    So when does my jesus get the 15 or so pts that sane robbed him of today?

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

      vs. Leicester

    2. fedolefan
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Sane is clearly an amateur robber. Didn't keep any of the points for himself.

    Who'll be the most in demand of the dgw player(s) next week ?

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

      Sanchez

    2. HurriKane

    Which options? This is a minus 8, but allows afobe to Jesus upgrade. I'm choosing to keep alli over eriksen....

    A, eriksen to Pedro
    B, eriksen to Son

    C, valencia to Gabriel
    E, valencia to huth

    1. Slam

  5. Bruno Bruno!!
    • 10 Years

    A goal for Cahill on Monday night and a chelsea CS would be great, also have Alonso and Hazard but there effective ownership id guess is a lot higher

      Too greedy.

  6. faulksp
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    That moment when I realise an Arsenal clean sheet will bring in 18 points .....

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

      TC Monreal?

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

        Cech ....Kosch....Sanchez (c)

  7. Sterling is £11Mill..…
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    So is kompany essential then, double both at home. In his last four games has got two goals, three cs and 5bps. Not bad...

    1. potatoace
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Could have scored twice today.
      Mind you also lucky he didn't get two yellow cards

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

    How many points so far troops?

    30 with sanChez, Costa, Alonso, Hazard and Bailly to go.

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

      25

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

      21 with SanChez, Gabbi, Gabriel, Hazard, Alonso
      Played Daniels over Yoshida 🙁

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

        It could still be a winning move TM. I think both teams will score v Soton.

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

          You might be right. Scary ownership for S'ton defence so a CS would be devastating.

    3. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      11 from 4 with Cech, Alonso, Yosh, Sanchez (c), Hazard, Tadic and Costa left.

    4. TLF
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      20 with Cech, Monreal, Alonso, Sanchez (C), Hazard and Costa to play.

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

      Decent stats troops. Green arrows?

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

      17 with tc Sanchez, Ozil, Gabriel, Alonso, cahill and courtois. 2 baskets for all of my eggs

    7. FPLHaggis
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      28 (-8) with Yoshi (x2) Sanchez(C)(x2) Hazard & Costa to go

      Hit:
      Valencia (0) Benteke (2) & Lukaku (2) >
      Huth (6) Jesus (5) & Costa (?)

  9. kalmoffit
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Who would have thought to get West Ham and Sunderland, anyway?

  10. Heavy Data
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Im looking for a 5.1 or less midfielder for next week. I have

    Albrighton
    Dier
    JWP
    Morrison
    Kante (if fit)
    Romeu

    Who would you pick? Am i missing anyone?

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

      Davies

    2. Sterling is £11Mill..…
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      That guy, what's his name. Has scored one and assisted three times in his last two

      1. Heavy Data
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Who is this of who you speak?

    3. Ben the Mee
        8 years, 10 months ago

        So only DGW players then? Matic if you think he's got another thunderc*nt left in him this season.

        1. Heavy Data
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          well anyone really. Need to ditch de Roon

          1. Ben the Mee
              8 years, 10 months ago

              Emre Can decent fixtures

              1. Heavy Data
                • 9 Years
                8 years, 10 months ago

                now that is quite a differential for next week

        2. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Carrol away to Sunderland

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

          Albrighton out of those i guess

      • sy
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Stanislas sums up my season, had him for too long. Finally got rid on wildcard and then he finally delivers.

        Repost as I don't think it was very clear Which options? This is a minus 8, but allows afobe to Jesus upgrade. I'm choosing to keep alli over eriksen....

        A, eriksen to Pedro
        B, eriksen to Son

        1, valencia to Gabriel
        2, valencia to huth

        1. kalmoffit

          I think you need to wait and see what kind of game time Gabriel gets tjos week before making any moves.

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

            Can't wait unfortunately due to price rises

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

              In that case I think you should opt for the nailed player and go with Huth. Leicester have tough fixtures over the double but are playing well defensively, Huth is a goal threat and they have a reasonable GW38 fixture too (although Josh King may ruin the party). If you bring in Gabriel and he is dropped you will be gutted.

              Pedro over Son all day long.

        This gameweek, nothing really matters besides the Arsenal games 😀 Lots with double Arsenal defence and/or TC Sanchez

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

          Us that ignored Arsenal and Soton are starting to twitch

        2. sy
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Let's see if the under 23s play for united

        3. Yank Revolution
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          If Sanchez goes nuts, Im doomed

          1. KDF
            • 9 Years

            Why are you without him? Genuine question

            1. Yank Revolution
              • 14 Years
              8 years, 10 months ago

              Because Ive been watching their matches...Sanchez out wide is not good for his points production.

        Point predictions for

        Cech
        Koscielny
        Gabriel
        Gabbiadini

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

          Thought you only has the last 2?

            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 16 Years

            Plenty have the 2 above.

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

              Just took a look at your team, pretty similar

              Eriksen Vert Bailly JWP over your Alli Daniels Holgate Sane

              What transfer move are you having in mind for next week? I'm having serious doubts over Gabriel...

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

                Gabriel is a likely out. Have 2 FTs so plenty of options as will BB.

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

                  2FT is very handy since there aren't many other good options around that Gabriel price bracket

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

            My guess is it's due to Mark owning the first 2 TM is asking lol

            • 12 Years
            8 years, 10 months ago

            The likes of Alves and Higuain are on the bench but they have pretty good replacements for them

            1. Gooner Kebab
              • 13 Years
              8 years, 10 months ago

              fingers crossed bubz

                • 12 Years
                8 years, 10 months ago

                Juve have won their last 33 home games in Serie A so... would be mighty unlucky to not win this

                  But you'll win

                    Juventus beat Torino at home every time. I'm really not confident though. The league is already won for Juve..

                      Cash out then Bubz.
                      Torino is actually not a bad outfit this season and the derby is at the worst Possible time for Juve

                        I can't. I have Real madrid & over 2.5 goals in the accumulator. Obviously that is won with them 4-0 up but it doesnt give a cash out option because of that bet

                          Ouch.
                          I never ever cash out.

        Arnatuovic assists on the second goal for Stoke.
        Brunt no assist on the first goal for WBA.
        What is the difference? Both occasions a player from the other team touches the ball after the pass and before the goalscorer touches the ball first time.

          2 defenders touched the cross from Brunt and changed the direction.

          Couple of Sanchez goals over the 2 games will get you over the line

        Barring injury, is Gabbi still worth bringing in next week?

          You'll know more after tomorrow but I don't think so.

          I think you need to watch him over the next 2 matches this week before making a decision

          I'm looking to get rid take a -4 for Costa and take Sanchez out to fund it.

          Rival has Costa and no Sanchez ........

          Madrid B team still better than most teams in La Liga. Currently running riot against Granda, this with the title at stake.

          Anyone else liking the look of their team for next gw? I'm 120 behind my bitter rival but with more dgw players and a BB in hand.

            You might need to use the double your GW score chip.

          Cout + Alli -> Alexis and Sterling/Sane?

        • CloudSky

          Morata is so much better than Benzema... it would be funny if the latter didnt play 10x more minutes while being the lesser player.

            Would be lovely to see some swap deal Mbappe/Benzema plus cash.
