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.

    Anyone know when Van Djik is expected back?

  2. Differentiator
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Sanchezzential

  3. Somalion
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    How many more goals before the Arsenal fans reckon they have the PL in the bag next season?

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

    Hmm. Waiting to bring in Alexis might be impossible.

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

    Any West Ham fans shed any light on why Snoddie isn't starting?

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

      Not certain but doesn't look in great form. He did have a minor injury as a result of Chelsea though - could be that.

    2. Flynny
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Cos from the games I've seen on TV he has been dreadful

  6. Limited & Mediocre Mana…

    8 years, 9 months ago

    Looks like 11.5 is as low as Sanchez is going to get...

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years

      Might go down tonight

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

        not happening, people bringing him in now

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

        He's rising back from what I can see

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

    Llorente, what kind of knock did he take?
    Was going to swap out Niasse for Kane, but now am thinking Llorente.
    Any suggestions?

    thanks

      Dead leg. Usually clears up fairly quickly. Would be surprised if not ready for next GW

        Too late, might not qualify as it is.

    2. Lawrø
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Is the top score including or excluding hits?

        All up to Mane.

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

      I'd still be in this comfortably but for the needless hit I took in GW13. 🙁

        • Has Moderation Rights

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years

          Ah I'll give it a bash again next season. It's a great barometer for a good season by the looks of things.

    1. 1966 was a great year for E…
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      I'd just do Llorente to Kane.

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

        Ok. Thanks! Maybe later Baines to Walker also..

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

    1. Giovanni Giorgio
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      I would probably look at getting rid off McAuley too. WBA fixtures not looking great to say the least.

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

        spurs players more urgent now ,nest week gone for sure thanks

  17. Speédy

    Baines injury serious???

    1. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Back problem, have to wait on news but he keeps picking up niggling injuries

    2. Richd
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Koeman said he plays next game. So, not serious no.

      1. walkman666
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Is this really real? That would be a good thing for us Baines owners, despite the 1 pointer today.

  18. Rains of Castamere
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Already 300 transfers in for Niasse.

    He can't play against his parent club.

  19. Richd
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    One more hit

    Aguero and Firmino to Sanchez and Kane.

    Seems perfect.

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

      I'd buy that for a dollar

    2. Unbowed Unbent N'Golo
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Costa and Firm to Sanchez and Kane here. Transfer buzz doesn't come much better than these!

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

        Tempted to just do it now?!

        It mean's I remain 3-5-2 for now and Gabiaddini will have to wait his turn.

        1. Phil Dagger ⭐
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          Who are your 5 mids?

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

            They will be Sanchez, Coutinho, Sterling, King and Siggurdson

        2. Unbowed Unbent N'Golo
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          Deffo doing it for this game week, Gabbi in for the big derby?

    3. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Not sure Sanchez is a great pick if giroud continuaally starts

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

        Better than firmino 🙂

        I'm miles ahead in my ML so a player like him is essential.

        1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          Probably, might be better differentials to punish them heavier

  20. Loðbrók
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Using my FT to get rid of Rondon for Kane, but what to do with Snodgrass?

  21. Whats the Mata?
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    ibra falling and kane rising tonight
    had to do the move

    1. Forza Papac
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Kane wont rise tonight

      1. Whats the Mata?
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        he is

        1. Forza Papac
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          Only at 65 on fplsstatistics.com

  22. Smoky Johnson
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Hebknut (FPL #1) only 3 points from closest rival.. He is missing BB also. His days as numero uno are soon to be over..

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

      He still has a whole Mane(c) over #2 though

    2. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      He has had a good run

    3. Ephurion
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Depends on Mané tomorrow tbf... a brace would see him 30+ points clear again 😉

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

    Tempted to wildcard with a lot of dead wood (McAuley, Snod, Baines, Llorente, Holebas etc). Any consensus on when is best?

  24. tattywelshie
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Brunt to Manson?

    A. No brainer
    B. No way

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Marilyn?

      1. Unbowed Unbent N'Golo
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Charles

      2. Jay_
          8 years, 9 months ago

          Don't be so silly, he means Charles

    2. Plagued by indecision
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      I had made up my mind to quit Fantasy at the end of this season. My last-minute Phillips > King and the adrenaline rush is making me reconsider...

    3. Dacra
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      41 (-8) with Mane and Coutinho to go. Decent but that late Swansea goal hurt Robertson and Jaku, even having Siggy..

      ML rival had Barkley, Schneiderlin, Lukaku (c) fluked an awesome score from a team of 5 playing..

    4. Bruno Bruno!!
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      46 points before (-8) and Mane left to play happy with that. Should have captained Lukaku instead of Coleman but still happy days 🙂

    5. denial
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years

      Finally moved into top 100k for first time this season.

      Been a slog getting there

    6. andymck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Aguero and Sterling > Kane and Sanchez is worth the -4, right?

      1. Smoky Johnson
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        I have the exact same decision to make. Not entirely convinced.

      2. Unbowed Unbent N'Golo
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Oh yes.

    7. Somalion
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      I should take -8s more often

      1. Oven Glover
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        I prefer -20s
