Saturday’s events continue with a batch of five afternoon kick-offs, with a sprinkling of Fantasy interest in each.

Arguably, Burnley’s meeting with Brighton at Turf Moor will be the focus, with Fantasy managers still holding assets from both these sides as a “hangover” from recent Wildcards and Double Gameweek investment.

Clean sheets could be the best outcome for many of those managers with Matt Lowton, Kevin Long and Lewis Dunk among the more popular Fantasy targets on show in today’s contest.

Meanwhile, at Selhurst Park, an away win for Leicester City over Crystal Palace will be the desired outcome for many.

Both Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez remain popular assets, although the latter is suffering a rapid decline in stock having blanked in four successive Gameweeks. Mahrez was the second most sold midfielder behind the injured Sadio Mane going into today’s deadline.

Early investors in Newcastle’s assets ahead of their two Gameweek 37 fixtures will likely be willing for a shut-out against visiting West Brom, while Kenedy’s prospects will also be under scrutiny as a budget midfield option ahead of the Magpies’ double-header.

Interest in Southampton’s St Mary’s meeting with Bournemouth is likely to be limited to a minority who have backed Mark Hughes’ defence over their recent double, though Charlie Austin’s output will also be of interest ahead of the Saints’ two Gameweek 37 fixtures.

Finally, the encounter between Huddersfield and Everton at the John Smith’s stadium looks to be low impact in Fantasy terms.

Neither of these sides have experienced recent investment, with both denied the potential of a Double Gameweek. Everton’s Jordan Pickford is perhaps the only player on the ascent; he’s kept three clean sheets in six, claiming four bonus points over that spell.

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

    Damn it. Kept Willian instead of trading him for Zaha.

    1. The Overthinker
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

    Who is more useless?

    a) Mahrez

    1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

    2. Unfathomable Ruination
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      Mahrez. Has had all the chances. Not Willian's fault he gets benched.

    3. Differentiator
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      Wahrez

    4. Sailboats
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      A. At least Willian is rather cheap

    5. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      Mahrez by a mile.

  11. FPL Scoop

      • 16 Years

    • 12 Years
    8 years, 6 days ago

    1. makaveli123
      • 9 Years

      Christensen 1 minutes cameo

      1. Sánchez
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 6 days ago

        Hope so. Even though I have him

      2. It’s gonna Ben Mee
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 6 days ago

        Probably. Won’t matter much as that Burnley CS will be gone by then.

    2. Paul Psychic Octopus
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      Just wasn't brave enough to go double Burnley defence. But I didn't really expect West From to score against Newcastle

  17. Ghost Gooner
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 6 days ago

    Well done Baines owners

  18. The Overthinker
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 6 days ago

    Best midfielder below 5.3 for doubles?

    1. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      Iwobi worth a punt.

      Plenty of Swans or Southampton options

    2. Paul Psychic Octopus
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      Matic safe but boring. Maybe Clucas or Ki from Swansea?

  19. Botman and Robben
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 6 days ago

    What happened to Leicester City after their title win? Were Kante and Drinkwine that important?

    1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      Trying to transition their style of play with Morgan at the back is not working for them, long long story short

    2. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      Yes

    3. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      Yes they were - especially Kante. It's no coincidence that Chelsea won last season.

  20. Viper
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 6 days ago

    I'm planning an 8 point hit of Salah, Willian & Vardy - > Sterling, Arnautovic & Jesus

    I would still have Bailly though. Is he worth an additional -4 or prioritise over one of the others?

    1. The Overthinker
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      I am going albrighton Bailly firmino to azpi , cheap mid, Jesus

      1. The Overthinker
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 6 days ago

        For -8

    2. Marquis-Cha-Cha
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      Willy owners knew the risk.
