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. borat
            • 9 Years

    2. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 days ago

    2. VS10_

    4. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Remember he was essential just a week ago?

      1. The 12th Man
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 4 days ago

        No he wasn't. No one is essential.

    5. Pedram
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 days ago

      No

    6. Arteta
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Probably. I've benched two clean sheets in a few days just to play him.

      1. The 12th Man
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 4 days ago

        Same goes with Hazard. He stays with 2 home games coming up.

    7. MR SUNSHINE
      • 10 Years

  24. justmatt

    With West Ham and Swansea looking so bad I may just keep Siggy and Carroll and hope for a Christmas goal fest.
