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.

    5% own King. But of course, all 4 of the ones ahead of me in my ML own him.

    2nd place in my ML WC got 41 with Mig and Mane(C), I have 65 (-16) with Mee, Mane, Cout. I've still got my WC and TC chips left so looks like the hits will work out 🙂

      Congratulations. 100K out of 3 million is an achievement. Onwards and upwards

      1. Sp0rting
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Thanks mate. Bit of perspective always helps.

        Onwards and upwards, I suppose.

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

      Yeah, that was awful.

  8. diesel001
    • 9 Years

    Arsenal back to normal now the pressure is off

    1. Lav
      • 9 Years

      Lincoln

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

    Kane Defoe Gabbiadini frontline from now to the end of the season any1?

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

      Costa for Defoe

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

        Idk man. Chelsea so far ahead. Afraid he'll get rested

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

          Will have to see what they do. You will also want Ibra and his 2dgw

    2. Sleep Talk
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Upgrade Defoe to Lukaku and you have my plan for next week.

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

        Already have Lukaku. Also, you don't fancy Defoe at home vs Burnley?

  11. Sim Simma

    Lincoln being put to the sword

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

    Ramsey walks it in, literally.

  13. Yank Revolution
    • 14 Years

    A lovely rise from 510k to 327k....my mad rush up the rankings will not be contained!

  14. Phil Dagger ⭐

    Sanchez brilliant assist

  15. The Bandit

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

    Nice of Lincoln to give the Arsenal fans a game to remember!

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

    Arsenal had to score 5. Now concede one and let's get back to the 5-1 jokes.

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

    Arsenal doing a Bayern

  19. Lav
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Sanchez back in for Eriksen (-4) crazy?

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

      Yes.

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

    Snodgrass -> King worth -4?

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

      It was today. Probably

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

        Yeah well...............
        Any other thoughts?

        King has 2 good fixtures, and Snodgrass set for the bench?

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

      Bit late in the game to jumping on the King bandwagon. Fixtures aren't great after Swansea

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

        Its a 2 week punt. Southampton doesn't have the defence they used to have.

        Plus Snodgrass is he even gonna play?

        What would you do with Snodgrass?

  21. James101
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Thoughts on getting hazard in?

    Anyone tempted?

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

      I might get Pedro in rather than Hazard or Costa.

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

      I've currently got Costa but think I'll replace him with Kane and try to work Hazard in..

      Yes it's only Lincoln...but I think a Sanchez plan needs to exist 🙂

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

        You may be right...

  23. leocarter27

    Sterling (liv H)
    Firmino (Cit A)
    King (Swa H)
    Siggy (Bou A)

  24. FPL Blow-In
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Hello folks. Can't get rid of Snodgrass faster from my team! What do you think?

    Aguero and Snodgrass to Costa and Alli worth a -4?

    Pickford
    Alonso, Walker, Baines
    Mane, Siggy, Snodgrass, King
    Aguero, Kane, Lukaku

    Foster, Maguire, De Roon, Amat 1m itb

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

      No, not worth a -4. Just do it next week

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

      Sounds good....

      You will want sanchez soon 5ho....how u gonna do that?

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

  25. Gudjohnsen
    • 8 Years

    Any further news on Firmino?

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

      Unlikely to play is the general consensus

  26. FrankieTheGent
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Is Wenger going to fist-pump every goal?

  27. Rupert The Horse
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Woo hoo. 5 goals wins me bet.

  28. Mayo for Sam
    • 10 Years

    A Baines
    B Brunt

      Brunt to Walker

    2. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 9 Years

    Jaku Pickford
    Alonso Mawson A.Smith Coleman Funes
    King Siggy Coutinho Sane Sterling
    Costa Kane Lukaku

    1 FT 1.9 ITB

    What's the best move? Sane to Alli?

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

    60 points with Mane, Coutinho and Gray to play.

    My dreadful season and OR have improved dramatically form 405k to 239k, not chasing DGW players in GW27 appears to be paying off.
