With the goals continuing to flow, we move to Saturday’s five afternoon kick-offs in search of further points.

There are several likely sources.

Chelsea’s Stamford Bridge meeting with Burnley will have been earmarked for strong returns, with Willian heading into the encounter backed by 17.7% of FPL managers. Meanwhile, with the Blues backline heavily owned, a lesser spotted clean sheet will be the order of the day for many.

Another Chelsea player – Ruben Loftus-Cheek – will be under the microscope as he turns out for Crystal Palace against Huddersfield Town at Selhurst Park. The Eagles teamsheet deploys the loanee as part of a front three for Frank De Boer’s side, as Timothy Fosu-Mensa makes a debut which shifts Luka Milivojević into midfield. Loftus-Cheek already has a 12.3% ownership which will boom should he feature among the points this afternoon.

Jay Rodriguez starts as West Brom’s loan striker against Bournemouth at The Hawthorns, while for the Cherries, Jermain Defoe only makes the bench after a recent injury and a curtailed pre-season.

At St Mary’s Southampton host Swansea City, with defenders Ryan Bertand and Cedric Soares owned by 15.6% and 13.2% respectively. Manolo Gabbiadini starts up front as expected; he is part of 6.7% of squads

Finally, at Goodison Park, Everton host Stoke City with Wayne Rooney leading their attack. He’s backed by a handsome and optimistic 15.5% ownership, in a Toffees line-up which appears to have Dominic Calvert-Lewin at right wing-back.

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

    Been busy relocating overseas and missed the start of the season!!!
    Any point playing now I missed a week?

      Go for it mate. First gw is going to be somewhat tricky for most.. Looking at the score sheets so far.. Depending on how kdb, kaku or Kane does, catching up is doable!

    2. Meltens
      • Has Moderation Rights

      Always a chance! Nice challenge if not else 🙂

      1. Filthbomb
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        That's kind of you, because I have struggled big time! It's not like this is easy for anyone 😉

        1. Meltens
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 5 months ago

          You've got roughly 50-60 points to make up on most people, shouldn't be impossible in 37 GWs 😉 I started in GW6 my first season, that was a bit harder to claw back xD

    Brighton are going to do a Burnley.

    1. LǝgleSs e|even

    Bertie limping into the tunnel 🙁

  8. schlupptheweek

    5 mins or so to hold out for a full CS set and for 6/7 of my players to get 6 points. Only mistake has been passing up Mounie really as Lacazette and Mane could easily have had more points.

    Time for a Swans goal

    Chelsea have been so shambolic that I'm actually starting to think all these yellow and red cards were a tactic from the manager to force the powers to be to open the cheque book and add to an already thin squad.

    It's the only explanation because this has been a circus.

    1. SuperMario
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Sounds Mourinhoesque

    2. Sterling is £11Mill..…

    Why was Bertrand subbed did he pick up a knock?

    1. Respect My Authoritah
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      He wasn't subbed, but he did pick up a knock

    2. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago
