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.

      1. Grand Thibauto
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 days ago

        Because of being a loanee. Cant play parent club. A clause inserted normally when giving away on loan.

        1. The Bandit
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 4 days ago

          It's actually a rule now

    2. 1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Ah don't worry, Chelsea next week - parent club.

    3. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Ineligible to face Chelsea next week.

    4. Rostah
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 days ago

    Randolph great save.

  16. tm245
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 4 days ago

    Good goal for Negredo, nice finish. City could use a striker like that.

    1. Fred54
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Seems like decades since he played for them, not just a few years.

      1. tm245
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 4 days ago

        He had a nice stretch for them one season, can't even remember which season.

    You know times are bad when you're watching Sunderland vs. Watford just to try and see Anichebe points.

    1. Rostah
      • 10 Years

  25. Camp No No
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 4 days ago

    To say I'm disappointed with how Hammers are doing, would be an understatement. 🙁

    And no, I'm not Bemba, I'm not saying they have failed it yet, only that so far they have been a bit crap.

    1. Smarty Pants
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Hull are bossing it

    2. Fred54
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Been a while since this lot actually performed and didn't just rely on small cameo moments to win games.

      1. Camp No No
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 4 days ago

        Dunno. They were pretty good last GW. Or mostly Payet was. He's good tonight as well. It's just that nobody else really is.

        But yeah, it's maybe just individual quality of some player(s). Bilic never convinced me tactically and now he's getting the results he should have got last season. People don't remember it now, but when West Ham had a crazy winning streak against top table clubs and all, they also scored with 2 first shots in several matches in a row. They were unconvincing allover, but just converted early chances with a great rate.
