A disrupted Gameweek 28 fixture list delivers just three matches for Saturday afternoon.

Much of our focus will be on the events at Goodison Park, with this week’s leader of the Captain Poll Romelu Lukaku in action against his former side West Bromwich Albion.

The Everton striker is the second most bought player this week, attracting over 363,000 new owners, having returned in each of his last four home outings. The Belgian will be seeking his 19th goal of the season which would represent his biggest ever Premier League season haul; it’s worth noting, however, that the Toffees have failed to score in their last three home encounters against the Baggies.

Swansea City’s Fernando Llorente was the major transfer bandwagon heading into Gameweeks 28 on the back of his brace in the 3-2 win over Burnley. His 375,000 new owners will be hoping he and Gylfi Sigurdsson can produce once again when the Swans travel to Hull City – the Icelander has produced returns in seven of his last eight Gameweeks.

Bournemouth will be looking to put an end to their run of eight matches without a win when they entertain West Ham United on the south coast.

Josh King, who has scored five goals in his last six appearances, could be the key man for the Cherries once again. Meanwhile, the Hammers will look to Andy Carroll and Michail Antonio to inflict the damage. Back from a one-match suspension, the latter will be hoping to end a run of eight matches without a goal – his longest dry spell of the season.

    It's a great feeling seeing single digits scores above me in my mini leagues and realising how much ground I'm making up this week!

    1. The Big Fella
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      My mate had King, Lukaku and captained Mane. I hate him so much. Other than that, yes, I did ok this week considering.

  5. KingOllie

    A guy in my ML got a gw rank of 3m with 3 points. Meaning 1.4millions people got worse haha

    1. andymck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    1. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Surely that's not the whole story, you must have Lukaku(C) and King to negate the -16 pts

      1. twoplustwo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Mane C

        King, Siggy, Lukaku, Barkley, Coleman returns

  7. Sweetboi
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    51 points...only if Jaku and Maguire didn't bottle it late on.

    1. Sponge-worthy
      • 13 Years

      Ifs and buts.

      1. Sweetboi

        1. Sponge-worthy
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          You did good nevertheless.

  8. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Don't forget your gw rank doesn't take account of your hits 😉

    1. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 11 Years

      Party pooper

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

    2. Sims
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      With -4 I think I can just about afford to ignore my hit

    3. twoplustwo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

  9. Porkchops Johnson
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Haha, timing. See above 🙂

      1. Porkchops Johnson

    Still miffed about Baines and llorente

    Of all the weeks to come off early...

    Anyways, how about this for a hit?

    Llorente & Sane > Kane and Walcott

    1. WVA
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Still miffed too 🙁
      Wouldn't go for Walcott yet.

    What is this weeks average

    1. Tim Canterbury
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      70 odd I'd imagine

    2. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      All the 3m dead teams will drag the average way way down 🙂

    3. tm245
      • 14 Years

      Top 10k 30ish after hits.

  13. tm245
    • 14 Years

    Missed the matches. What happened to Baines and Olsson?

  14. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Good to see Giroud 'performing' when not wanting Sanchez for the next two GWs!

  15. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    How did Bellerin miss that

  16. WVA
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    44 points -8, Mane and Cout 2 go.
    If only Baines and Llorente hadn't got injured oh and Rondon, Snodgrass and Brunt had started! Pretty gutted overall.

    1. WVA
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Current rank 228k
      Gameweek rank 220k before hits, think I've found my level 🙁

  17. Sponge-worthy
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    What happened to rangel and Llorente? Badly hurt?

  18. Winners900
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Mane - > Sanchez for -4p worth it?

    1. Ha.
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Come back tomorrow

  19. Garlana
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Extent of llorente's injury? Rondon's final nail in the coffin today so it was always him that was going to go.

  20. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Own goal or Gibbs

  21. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Flattering for Arsenal...

  22. Phil Dagger ⭐
    • 9 Years

  23. tm245

  24. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    For next week Baines to Valencia and Llorente to Gabbiadini sensible moves to consider given fixtures and DGW's?

  25. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Poor Lincoln

    1. Van der Faart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      They look dead on their feet

  26. tisza
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    sums up my season.
    Solid starters benched - Brunt & FM.
    Losing late clean sheets - RObertson.
    Talked myself out of King. Thought he would return but was a -4 for a player I didn't see myself using past this week. Went for Grosicki as he had 3 decent home games out of next 4. Pragmatism over showing a pair of balls.
    Still had decent captain in Lukaku but it's all the fringe decisions/players that I just keep getting wrong.

  27. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years

    Pickford doppleganger injured

  28. diesel001
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Is Sanchez not trying? Looks like he is trying to me. Hope Arsenal put 6+ goals past Lincoln today. Confidence boosting win
