Saturday’s events continue with a quartet of three o’clock kick-offs.

From a Fantasy Football perspective, interest appears limited to Sunderland’s Stadium of Light encounter with Watford and West Ham’s meeting with Hull City at the London Stadium.

Jermain Defoe’s 25.4% ownership will have high hopes of the Black Cats’ marksman ahead of his collision with the Hornets defence.

Walter Mazzarri’s rearguard have shipped an average of two goals a game on their travels, a statistic that suggests that Defoe will have the opportunity to return to the scoresheet having blanked in his previous two Gameweek outings.

Much is expected of West Ham’s primary attacking asses – Dimitri Payet, Michail Antonio and Andy Carroll – against Hull City.

The Tigers arrive having conceded 20 goals in eight away matches, 35 overall this season – more than any other side on both counts.

Elsewhere, Swansea’s Gylfi Sigurdsson will carry the hopes of his 10.3% ownership into a Riverside Stadium meeting with Middlesbrough.

The home side shipped three goals in midweek to Liverpool, but, to that point, were resolute in defence, conceding seven goals over their seven previous outings on Teesside.

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

    I benchwonker every GW but decided against it the last minute today. Played DDG over Jaku.

      Why risk Jaku starting or coming off the bench ?

        I usually don't care as Foster doesn't get me many points anyway. Today I got in DDG for Foster and couldn't risk Jaku coming in.

      9 years, 4 days ago

      11 win's from 11 doesn't happen often either.

    2. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      Then you weren't around when United and VDS didn't concede for 1311 minutes.

    1. Bellerinmondo
      • 11 Years

    2. Valencia's Left Foot
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Yep... Would have been a lovely Holebas assist. He's already created two good chances and taken a few corners. Quality.

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Yes i'd take a hit to strengthen elsewhere in preference to losing that much team value.

    4. Shultan
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 days ago

      If you want to waste money getting him back the week after then go ahead & sell

  17. Fergietime

  18. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 days ago

    Unlucky Amat starters

    1. LewanGOALski
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Started him ocer Lovren 🙁

    2. Laurel and Vardy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Amat is never a good starting option. Classic bench fodder in FPL terms.

    Chelsea clean sheets are killing me...every time I decide to get them in, I think that surely they are gonna start conceding.
