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.

        Don't think so he's played over 1/2 the season up top

    5. Mikeharbrw

      Salah -> FWD

      1. Legomané

      8 years, 3 months ago

      Alonso to mid?

      1. Legomané
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Unlikely- reckon he'll come back to 6.5 tho

    7. Tiki-Taka

      MAHREZ < TRASH

      1. Legomané

    8. Mikeharbrw
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Rashford -> mid
      Plays same position for the majority of the season as martial who is a mid

      1. Legomané
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Good shout

        • 14 Years

        Should be, but won’t. FPL have a habit of keeping players who are POO in their existing position.

    9. MrZ
      • 11 Years

      Zaha > fwd?

      1. Mikeharbrw
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Nah has only played 5-6 games there predominantly when their strikers have been injured

      2. Legomané
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 8 Years

        Doubt that

      Ohhh, how'd that suddenly go top of page?

      Tadic

      1. Digital-Real

        8 years, 3 months ago

        The Tadic Trap. You been warned.

        1. El-Kloppico
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          Yep. Fell in the trap last season.. might get there again..

  3. barracuda
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Feeling a bit down about Salah no show. This is the second time I have captained him 🙁

    1. Positive vibes
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Me too. Rival got Kane C.

      1. barracuda
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Are you chasing?

        1. Positive vibes
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          No we are neck to neck. Just because he still has BB and I'm only TC, going for something risky and failed. Hoping Kane will blank too.

          1. barracuda
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 3 months ago

            It will be a painful 90+ mins for me on Monday as I am chasing by not many...

    2. Pierce34
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      For me it's the second blank in 12 times I've captained him. Not holding it against him though after all the times he's bailed my team out - also even his blanks feel better given that it's 3 points instead of 2!

      1. barracuda
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        I feel like Kane will score a brace. Was hoping for a penalty in the second half.

    3. Qaiss
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Meh, I changed from kane to salah this morning. Not bothered. FPL is dead this season.

      1. barracuda
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Have had in on him the whole week. Bloody AE. 🙁

    4. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      He did actually play 😉

      1. barracuda
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Nearly got a heart attack when he missed that easy chance in the 4th min....

  4. the Penman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Walcott starting to turn up about 6 gameweeks too late for most!

    1. -SB-
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Exactly

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

      More like 6 seasons...

  5. Oven Glover
    • 10 Years

    Will Grigg not on fire. MK Scum going down. Swedons at the DW Stadium. Happy days 🙂

  6. Salarrivederci
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Need Dubravka pen save or Pérez G. Can't stand if both blank at home vs. fekkin West Brom.
    Zaha (Haul), Klavan (8) and VvD (5) owner though.

  7. Chucky
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Branes to Kaku or Jesus... Money no issue... Already have Kane and Party

    1. El-Kloppico
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Jesus

    2. Tiki-Taka
      • 15 Years

      Jesus

  8. barracuda

    Come on Vardy you twerp.

  9. Dacra
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Mahrez to Sterling for free?

    Seems too obvious?!

    1. GOTHAM City F.C.
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Seems too late

      1. Arctic monkeys
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Not if Sterling doesn't start

        1. GOTHAM City F.C.
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          And if Mahrez gets a hattrick

          1. Arctic monkeys
            • 12 Years
            8 years, 3 months ago

            Nah, this one is out of reach

      2. Dacra
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Indeed. Already did a - 4 this week Gross to Sane, didn't want a - 8. Probably should have!

      3. yakirh
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        This

    2. Tiki-Taka
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      For me he's coming in for one of Mahrez, Alli and Son. I actually think I'm leaning towards Son and keeping Mahrez

    3. El-Kloppico
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Should hv done it prior to this gw. I did it. Hpe Sterling repays the faith.

  10. F4L
    • 11 Years

    Come on Hull!

    1. BIGREDDOG
      • 9 Years

      🙁

  11. Zilla
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Hypothetically speaking; if Liverpool win the CL and finish 5th while Arsenal finish 6th and win the EL, Arsenal won't qualify right?

    1. El-Kloppico
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Both qualify

      1. El-Kloppico
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        4th might miss out though

      2. Zilla
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Isn't the limit 5 teams from the same country?

    2. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Qualify for what ?

      1. Zilla
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        CL obviously

    3. Norman Conquest
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      its 4 place that will go in europa the winner of europa is guaranteed cl place

    4. BIGREDDOG
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Both

    5. El-Kloppico
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Dont overthink it.
      Real will win CL and Atletico winning EL

  12. Jafooli
    • 14 Years

    I remember when FPL was a game of skill. Now it’s just total luck.

    1. yakirh
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Its a combination

    2. BIGREDDOG
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Don't know whether this is a Jafooli troll post or not :p

      1. Hotdogs for Tea
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        I do 🙂

        1. Jafooli
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          😉

      2. Arctic monkeys
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        I don't think he is ever serious

      3. BIGREDDOG
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        I just took some tasty bait

    3. GOTHAM City F.C.
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Skill when my players score, luck otherwise.

      1. Pierce34
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        This, obviously 😛

    4. Lone Wolf FPL
      • 10 Years

      more chips, more, more!

  13. yakirh
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Surely Leicester will play better in the 2 final home games of the season, right?

    1. Norman Conquest
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      its hard to play on sand

      1. Business Cat
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Especially with all those deckchairs in the way

        1. Norman Conquest
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          lol

        2. Jafooli
          • 14 Years

          😀

    2. *sigh*
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Think Mahrez May want to turn it on v Arsenal after the proposed transfer last year but who knows?

      1. XabiAlonso
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        You are probably right, but that is a bit disgraceful for a professional to turn it on and off when you feel like.

        1. *sigh*
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          Think back a few months though after they got rid of their premiership winning manager.Hes entirely capable of suddenly turning it on.

    3. Epic Fail
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Why?

    4. Unfathomable Ruination
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Surely Mahrez will do something against Brighton, Newcastle, Burnley, Southampton, and Crystal Palace in consecutive GW, right? I'm done waiting for Leicester to improve.

      1. yakirh
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        I hear you
        Lets see how second half plays out

  14. Dacra
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Just love looking at team and seeing all doubles 🙂

    Then the despair as half of them don't start 🙁

  15. Les Bleus
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

  16. Hughes Your Daddy
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Come on Palace! We played some great stuff first half. Luka solid in midfield, Zaha on fire, typical I have Mcarthur on the bench with his goal and assist!

  17. WVA
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Terrible half 5 from 5 and everyone in my league has Zaha but i don't cause i used fh last week!

  18. barracuda
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    What's more depressing:

    A- the fact you captained the same guy as your closest rival
    B- the fact you didn't trust your gut with Kane and removed the C to Salah today

    1. Bielsa's Blue Bucket
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      You tell me lol

      1. barracuda

          1. barracuda
            • 9 Years

            No, chasing
