Saturday’s slate of seven matches comes to a conclusion at Vicarage Road as Watford entertain Everton at 5.30pm.

This evening’s encounter affords Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers the chance of short-term scouting, with both sides two of only eight teams currently guaranteed to play in Gameweek 31.

The Hornets swept aside Chelsea 4-1 in their previous home match under Javi Gracia, with the likes of Gerard Deulofeu and Abdoulaye Doucoure emerging as potential targets for our five-man midfields.

Meanwhile, both Theo Walcott and Oumar Niasse will fancy their chances against the league’s worst home defence.

The Toffees pair have both delivered two goals and an assist in the last four Gameweeks to earn the interest of Fantasy managers.

Indeed, Niasse was the fourth most transferred in player for Gameweek 28, claiming over 152,00 new owners, while 40,000+ have opted for Walcott as they square up to a backline that’s conceded 26 times in front of their own fans.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    Is today the day I get my pickford clean sheet and wally goal..

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

      Pickford CS looking very likely at least.

    2. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané

      I hope it is !

    3. Bad Kompany
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      No. Wally hat trick though

    4. Udo
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      No offense, but I hope not I've Deulofeu, and would appreciate a brace.

  2. Bad Kompany
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Has Salah been gives his baps for his game winning goal yet? If he hasn't yet he could get one.

    1. AzzaroMax99
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Not yet.

    2. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      How was his a game winner??

      1. the Penman
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Cos they conceded one and his was the second one they scored.

      2. Bad Kompany
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Because he scored the second goal for Liverpool and the other team scored one

      3. Brosstan
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        When the opposition has one or more goal the goal that takes a team into to lead is considered the 'winning goal'. West ham scored one and Salah scored Liverpools second, therefore he gets 'winning goal' bonus.

  3. AzzaroMax99
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Why is Defoe on yellow? Or that warning sign was before game?

  4. arndff_
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    A) Dawson + 4.4M
    B) Hegazi + 4.5M

    1. Niemi
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Dawson all day. More goal threat.

      1. We Will Klopp you
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        This, almost identical in price too

      Match fixing for sure!

  8. LǝgleSs e|even

    How's the game looking so far lads?
    Walcott close? Richarlison ? Maguire? Delof?

  9. Forza Papac
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years

    How on earth has Butland got 3 baps?

    1. Niemi
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Saves +++

      No players scoring more than 23BPS. 23 BPS is really low for 3 bonus.

    2. LǝgleSs e|even
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      He scored a goal mate!

  10. FloMo
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Why did Daniels don’t get -1 for two goals conceded?

    1. Niemi
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Subbed off

    2. Bad Kompany
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Guessing he was subbed off early

    3. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      He did.

      1 point for minutes played (45)
      -1 for two goals conceded

      1. FloMo
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Hmm, maybe just not updated for me then

      2. Niemi
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        No, he has 1 point. It says one goal conceded, not two.

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

          😮

          Dodgy dealings!

          1. Niemi
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 1 month ago

            Guess who owns him? I'm not saying it out loud.

            1. Rash
              • 8 Years
              8 years, 1 month ago

              Haha I was waiting for this reference

            2. Rainer
              • 9 Years

              Jafooli 😮

    4. FloMo
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Flashscore says he was subbed off after the break

      1. Niemi
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        You're right, he should have 0 points. He was subbed off during the break.

    5. Majestic Chanka
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Is it because goal was 45+1? Was he off the pitch at that point?

      1. FloMo
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        No idea. Must be an error

  11. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Niasse is terrible

  12. TheRealDog
    • 12 Years

    Horrible refereeing

      Owning wally so far has made me want to turn to the wine

  14. arndff_
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Best defender up to 4.4M?

    1. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Dunk.

      1. arndff_
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        You gotta be joking. He's the one I'm about to ditch this GW. 😆

        1. FPL Virgin
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          He's a Effing liability.

    2. TallestJohn
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Van der Hoorn, Lowton, Everton fullbacks if they keep their place.

      1. arndff_
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Everton got a game @BGW31, so I'd like to own their defender.

        But yeah, as you mentioned already, they're not sure whether will keep place in starting line-up.

    3. We Will Klopp you
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Lowton, Simpson/Chilwell, Van Der Hoorn

      1. arndff_
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Do you know why VdH played only 45 min today?

        I'm looking at something like this:
        * GW29: Dunk > Dawson (BGW31)
        * GW30: Ogbonna > 4.4M (prefer to has a game @BGW31 too)

        Do you know whether that guy Terrence Kongolo is nailed on for HUD?

        Cheers!

        1. We Will Klopp you
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Wasn't aware re VDH, no. Kongolo was a January signing so you'd assume he is given their limited resources. Not sure why he only played 38 mins last gw though.

        8 years, 1 month ago

        He's 4.5M 🙂

  15. Old Man
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Did Keane get booked for that? He certainly should've been.

    1. Rash
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      It wasn't even given as a foul..

    2. Niemi
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      No, not even a free kick.

  16. Over Midwicket
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    How are Capoue and Doucoure both on the pitch at the same time? Thought they were the same player.

  17. GreenArrows
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Need a Watford goal, did Kenny > VVD

    1. Positive vibes
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Talk about that, have Mariapa and Kenny on bench. And VVD play of course.

      1. GreenArrows
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        You win

    Anyone else having a shocking week?

    1. JÆKS ⭐
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      You kidding me, 5 of my players were involved in hitting the woodwork. Mahrez missing a sitter as well, Dunk scoring an own goal and Burnley conceding in the last minute cost me 7 points from Pope. I'm not sure how it can go any worse. Shipped Ox and Aguero for Mahrez and Firmino, so yea probably Aguero hatty now even Ox has had a return....

    2. Yozzer
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Yes. Knew it would be as soon as that little maggot Shaq scored . Downhill from there

  19. Rainer
    • 9 Years

    Holebas range

  20. HNI

  21. The Royal Robin
    • 10 Years

    Walcott > Mahrez?

  22. Jason Bourne
    • 9 Years

    Niasse clattered, my GW hanging in the balance.

  23. Goalosaurus
    • 8 Years

    Janmaat wins the award for most pointless hairband of the season

  24. Zilla
    • 8 Years

    1. Effe

  27. Goalosaurus

  28. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Was Salah Sh*t today apart from his goal and assist and winning goal?? Or just given no BAPs cos Mark didn’t captain him?

    1. Zilla
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      He wasn't, BPS system is shit.

      1. Yozzer

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        For the awful BAPS system aye

    4. Rik Waller
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Standard performance. Always a threat, missed some chances, one of the best players on the pitch

  29. Odikostar
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    How is niasse keeping tosun and CL on the bench? He’s rubbish

  30. Sims
