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.

    Apparently Randolph has conceded 23 in 5 games vs. Bournemouth ðŸ˜

    1. Ha.
      • 10 Years

      Don't mind if he gets 10 points every game 😛

  3. Mo Mané No Problems

    Keep McAuley or sell for -4?
    I'd buy a 3.9M defender instead to free up funds for a mid. (already have Olsson, Walker, Coleman, Valencia)
    I could just do it for GW 30 without a hit but worried his price might drop?

    1. rocky7st
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      I'm selling just a matter of when. Might have to change Llorente

  4. fedolefan
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Out of all competitions. Not in the running for the league. Embarrassed and thoroughly humiliated means one thing and one thing only: Arsenal are essential until the end of the season.

  5. tm245
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Gw rank of 160k - only had to pay -12 for such lofty heights.

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

    Swiss Paul Scholes getting a deserved rest!

  7. Syd.
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Currently have a GW rank of 1.2m with a score of 22.

    38 points -4 after my bench wankery is taken into account

    Still have Mane (c)

    1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGeniusâ…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      GW rank is then the same as mine: 392,496

      1. Syd.
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Coutinho (c)

        Hope he fills his boots tomorrow Sir

    2. fedolefan
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      This is why I hate bench wankery. I like to know my actual position after every day of the game week.

    3. ZeBestee
      • 11 Years

      OR?

      1. Syd.
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        I was about 50k before today

  8. Les Bleus
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    So happy Phillips was ruled out. Wouldn't have gotten King

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

      Lol same

  9. FFPro
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Imagine if King scored the first pen and went on to get 5 goals.... 30pts.

    What is the biggest haul in fpl history, anyone know?

    1. John t penguin
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      The rest of the game would have been different if he scored pen

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

      Ironically if he had scored the pen it could have been his only extra points

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

      Lampard,Cristiano,Suarez,Aguero

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

      My best was Jermain Defoe 5 goals against Wigan. Captained him too. Defoe back then was such a flat track bully....

    5. FFPro
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Rooney 32 in a dgw apparently.

      Berbatov and Defoe 25 points for their 5 goal hauls in a sgw - not sure if there is higher though.

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

      Lampard had 28pts, There was a defender who was on penalties (burnley ?) who scored a hattrick once

      1. Bazzalona
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Graham Alexander? He scored a couple of top flight pens but if he ever got a hat trick it was lower league

    7. Steevo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      I'm sure one of the old Pompey defenders (Matty Taylor or Linvoy Primus) got ~30 points in a single GW.

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

    46 (-4)

    Started off at 14k OR

    Top 10k tonight?

    B: Valencia, Hazard, Gabbiadini
    C: Yoshida, Sanchez, Gabbiadini

    How did Carroll look today?

    1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGeniusâ…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Sluggish.

      1. A.T
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Typical. Lanzini?

        1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGeniusâ…
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          A T?

          Excellent. Particularly second half.

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

      Pony tailed one ..Meh..Young One, not great

    3. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Big and hairy.

  13. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Top point scorer on 104 with bench boost.Took a -52 though.

    1. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Still beats Scout Picks 79 with 10 hits !

  14. TOPCAT1960
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Top Scorer has 104 but -52 in hits, was it worth it ha ha

    1. TOPCAT1960
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      so I beat him...

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

    King still back on pens after afobe missing as well?

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

      Daniels may be at the top of the pile now.

      1. Eze Really?
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Nah. King will be back after hattie.

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

      Well his confidence is high but it could go back to Daniels

  16. bitm2007
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Highest score of the GW so far is a bit misleading. A -52 (13 hits) were taken to achieve 104 points.

  17. Steevo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Presumably no way of seeing your GW rank with hits taken into account?

  18. Eze Really?
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Llorente Baines. I have both but want to wait until tomorrow to change after Pool game. Will they drop?

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

      No both are close to rising

      1. Eze Really?
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Yeah but they are dropping like stones now.

    2. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Llorente was bought heavily today and may rise

      1. Eze Really?
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        See above. Also the powers that be are inconsistent lately. Maybe when they see a reversal they just leave them alone.

  19. leocarter27
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    69 points so far! With Firmino to play. Gameweek rank 6194. Well pleased

    1. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Well done. Hoping to get up there tomorrow. 60 points with Mane, Coutinho and Gray to come.

    2. Eze Really?
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Firmino is injured? I have Mane and Cout to come with 63pts

  20. Fpl Richie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Not necessarily this week but best replacement for Baines?
    Have him, Goalman, Alonso, Holebas and McAuley. Frankly I would only be keen on keeping the first two anyway.

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

      Vertongen or Valencia

  21. tm245
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    King missed a PK? Just realized the math didn't add up on his hat trick.

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

      Yes and so did afobe

      1. tm245
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Whoa - he got removed from PKs and then Afobe missed too?

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