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.

          *Bojan. How come did the stupid autocorrect correct it one time but not the other? I just don't understand how it works.

            It's predictive. It also attempts to correct grammar.. marvelous invention!.

        • 15 Years
        9 years, 3 days ago

        No, you have to see the 6 points first.

    4. Smarty Pants
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      it's Watford, his sheet will be clean this time

  6. Grand Thibauto
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 days ago

    Hrrrm.. this is not going as well as I thought it would

  9. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 days ago

    How is Defoe looking? He has been useless since I got him in for Austin.

  10. BigManBakar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 3 days ago

    Played Pickford over Grant...

    1. Over Midwicket
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      9 points instead of 13 isnt that different

  11. Venom Snake
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 3 days ago

    These games are really poor ...

    1. Camp No No
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      That's what I'm saying. The time to invest in defence again.

  12. Postman Ty
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 days ago

    In hindsight, clearly should have benched Hazard and played Pieters 🙂

    1. Jonjo Shall_We? (Flowers - …
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      Same
      But too big a risk

  13. O Fenomeno
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 days ago

    Rangers needs to control his players

  14. Numb
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 days ago

    Holebas bossing the baps

  15. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 days ago

    Why did I think WH double attack was a good idea?

    1. MarvelouSuccess
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      they never do well at olympic stadium. unluckayyy.

    2. McEwan
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      I'm the same and watching this first half is terrible. Don't think I've seen a team with a worse shape in a long time. Honestly don't know who is playing where. Got nothing in the middle of the park, Payet the only player wanting to get on the ball. No wonder he has to make things happen himself!

  16. Jafooli
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 3 days ago

    Leicester yellow

  17. FALCAO & MOU
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 days ago

    W T F? It seems like Payet is masturbating on the pitch to tease me for (C) him. Don't you see it?

    1. tm245
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      That escalated quickly.

    2. Oven Glover
      • 10 Years

      Wait for the climax. You'll get rewarded!

      1. Costa Nostra
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 3 days ago

        A happy ending?

        1. Oven Glover
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 3 days ago

          Hopefully!

    3. MarvelouSuccess

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

  22. Venom Snake
    • 12 Years

  24. Smarty Pants
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 3 days ago

    1. Camp No No
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      1. Smarty Pants
