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.

      1. Mikeharbrw
        • 13 Years

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

    5. Mikeharbrw

      Salah -> FWD

      1. Legomané
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 8 Years

        controversial

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

      Alonso to mid?

      1. Legomané
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 6 days ago

        Unlikely- reckon he'll come back to 6.5 tho

      MAHREZ < TRASH

    8. Mikeharbrw
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 6 days 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

        Good shout

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years

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

      Zaha > fwd?

      1. Mikeharbrw
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 6 days 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

        The Tadic Trap. You been warned.

        1. El-Kloppico
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 6 days ago

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

  3. barracuda
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 6 days 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, 6 days ago

      Me too. Rival got Kane C.

      1. barracuda
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 6 days ago

        Are you chasing?

        1. Positive vibes
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 6 days 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, 6 days 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, 6 days 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, 6 days ago

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

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

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

      1. barracuda
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 6 days ago

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

    4. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      He did actually play 😉

      1. barracuda
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 6 days 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, 6 days ago

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

    1. -SB-
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      Exactly

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

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

    1. El-Kloppico
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      Jesus

    2. Tiki-Taka
      • 15 Years

      Jesus

  8. barracuda

    Come on Vardy you twerp.

  9. Dacra
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 6 days ago

    Mahrez to Sterling for free?

    Seems too obvious?!

    1. GOTHAM City F.C.
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      Seems too late

      1. Arctic monkeys
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 6 days ago

        Not if Sterling doesn't start

        1. GOTHAM City F.C.
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 6 days ago

          And if Mahrez gets a hattrick

          1. Arctic monkeys
            • 12 Years
            8 years, 6 days ago

            Nah, this one is out of reach

      2. Dacra
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 6 days ago

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

      3. yakirh
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 6 days ago

        This

    2. Tiki-Taka
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 6 days 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
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 days 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
      • 8 Years

  11. Zilla
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 6 days 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
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      Both qualify

      1. El-Kloppico
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 6 days ago

        4th might miss out though

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

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

    2. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      Qualify for what ?

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

        CL obviously

    3. Norman Conquest
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

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

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

      Both

    5. El-Kloppico
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

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

  12. Jafooli

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

    1. yakirh
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      Its a combination

    2. BIGREDDOG
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

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

      1. Hotdogs for Tea
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 6 days ago

        I do 🙂

        1. Jafooli
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 6 days ago

          😉

      2. Arctic monkeys
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 6 days ago

        I don't think he is ever serious

      3. BIGREDDOG
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 6 days ago

        I just took some tasty bait

    3. GOTHAM City F.C.
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      Skill when my players score, luck otherwise.

      1. Pierce34
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 6 days ago

        This, obviously 😛

    4. Lone Wolf FPL

      more chips, more, more!

  13. yakirh
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 6 days ago

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

    1. Norman Conquest
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      its hard to play on sand

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

        Especially with all those deckchairs in the way

        1. Norman Conquest
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 6 days ago

          lol

        2. Jafooli
          • 14 Years

          😀

    2. *sigh*
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

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

      1. XabiAlonso
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 6 days 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, 6 days 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
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      Why?

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

        I hear you
        Lets see how second half plays out

  14. Dacra
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 6 days 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, 6 days ago

  16. Hughes Your Daddy
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 6 days 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
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 6 days 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, 6 days 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, 6 days ago

      You tell me lol

          • 14 Years

          1. barracuda
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 6 days ago

            No, chasing
