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.

    Dunk and Tark on the bench and who did I play? Wes bleeding Morgan

      To be fair that was a bad call picking Morgan over Tark. Leicester have been awful at the back recently and while Burnley haven't been great I'd always back them at home against Leicester away on the beach.

        I started Lowton. Didn’t want double as also have Groß

          Ah. Then that is a far better call 😉

          I think that's a mistake playing that way mate. I wouldn't worry about things like that. Play every player as an individual.

      Hopefully 1-0

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

    Repost

    Firmino + Salah + Walcott -> Tadic + Kane + Son for -4 next GW look good? Will wait until Monday's games.

  9. TrollMasterDeluxe
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 6 days ago

    Can someone explain why Willian is benched?

    1. Lloyd Xmas
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      Conte?

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      Conte liked tne two up front with Giroud maybe? Willian stropped off in the FA Cup?

      Not sure. Ask Conté.

    3. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      Have you seen Conte's haircut?

      1. Norman Conquest

        he wears a wig he fixes games

    4. Bissisine
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      It's the worst thing do to. I don't understand Cone.
      But he will at least come in right?

      So frustrating..hoping emerson flops else i will be looking at removing alonso too

        I agree 🙂

  10. Bissisine

    Glad I sold Mahrez for Sterling

    1. La Roja
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      Cue Sterling no show

    2. Point-one short

      Wish I had.

  11. Brosstan
    • 11 Years

    Double BUR defense and Zaha 🙂 Good first day! Salah (C) though

    1. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      Noice.

      Just Lowton and Mahrez.

      8 or 9 from 2, -4.

      Ryan benched like many. Will have to keep an eye on Naughton as he may come on for Monreal.

  12. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Hope Willian subs on. Morgan 1st on the bench. Lewis Cook 2nd

  13. Smurf

    Come on my man Ayew!!!!

    .... the Jordan variety.

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years

      Come on him yourself.

  14. Bissisine
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 6 days ago

    Morgan is a 0pointer

  15. TLF
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 6 days ago

    This game drives me mad, Austin finally starts and does nothing, Salah blanks, Mahrez blanks, Willian benched, Barnes blanks, rival captains Kane.

    I keep telling myself it's just a game but really kills my mood when it all goes Pete Tong.

    1. MTPockets
        8 years, 6 days ago

        True. Salah blank lifted my day.

        1. TLF
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 6 days ago

          Haha, enjoy, I was one who held onto him. Hoping my transfer of Alonso to Bavies works out with Rose hanging about

    2. NATSTER
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      If you already have Vardy in team, I think it will be a waste of FT to transfer him out.

      Leicester will have last two home games on DGW37. They have to end the season with good performance in front of their supporters.

      1. Prøfeßör …
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 6 days ago

        It depends on how well his competition do. If Jesus looks good tomorrow, Vardy is likely gone.

        1. NATSTER
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 6 days ago

          Oh.. For those who don't have Jesus yet, it might be no brainer to switch Vardy for him.

          Kane + Jesus + Vardy are my front three now, so it might be worth to use FT elsewhere.

      2. Team Bobcat
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 6 days ago

        Vardy may be the only leicester exception. But defensive assets along with mahrez are a no no

    3. Team Bobcat
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      A word of caution. Palace were not that good. Leicester were playing like they did when they were unhappy under Ranierri. They will surrender goals in mass during the remaining fixtures. I will hold chilwell but mahrez will make way for a player in a team fighting for something.

      My ML might go down to the last day. A huge differential will be the difference

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

      For -12?

      3.9 -> DDG
      Dawson -> Azpi
      Tarko -> Cedric
      Failminomore -> Jayew
      Zaha -> Tadic

      1. DV8R
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 6 days ago

        No thanks. You can do better than Tadic and Cedric tbh

      2. Sandy Ravage
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 6 days ago

        maybe keep Zaha and just do a -8

    11. F4L
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      91 points and only good enough for the play offs 😥

      1. Zilla
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 6 days ago

        Reading will do the job

      2. DA Minnion (Former great)
        • 13 Years

        Try being a Leeds supporter.
        Then you would have something to cry about.

    12. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      Vardy to Giroud maybe
      See how this goes.

      1. F4L
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 6 days ago

        yeah could work

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

      This look OK for an 8 pointer?

      Bailly, Willian & Vardy - > Naughton, Sterling & Jesus

      1. Sandy Ravage
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 6 days ago

        not sure about Naughton, but otherwise looks good

    14. Old Wulfrunian

      Why we didn't sell Mahrez for Sterling even for -4?
