The first of five days of Gameweek 34 action gets underway at 3pm, offering up a quartet of fixtures to keep us entertained.

Middlesbrough are the only Double Gameweek team on duty this Saturday as Steve Agnew takes his troops to Bournemouth.

Alvaro Negredo and Ben Gibson were the most popular picks for clashes with the Cherries and Sunderland, transferred in by 193,000 and 112,000 FPL managers respectively.

Up against a defence that’s conceded two or more goals in seven of their last eight at the Vitality, the Spaniard earned second place in our Gameweek 34 Captain Poll, with over 20% backing.

Elsewhere, Romelu Lukaku will be hoping his record against West Ham can remedy a run of one goal in his previous seven road trips – the most owned player in FPL has found the net in each of his last nine head-to-heads with the Hammers.

Swansea’s Gylfi Sigurdsson attempts to halt a run of five straight blanks as Stoke roll up to the Liberty. The Icelandic international earned more transfers out (88,000+) than any midfielder ahead of this afternoon’s deadline.

Hull take on Watford at the KCOM in the other Saturday fixture.

The Tigers have won seven and drawn one of eight matches in all competitions since Marco Silva took charge, suggesting they could deliver some differential options today. With goals in each of his last two appearances, Harry Maguire – boasting a 0.5% ownership – looks the man most likely as the battle to beat the drop intensifies.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

      Hazard brace then

    2. La Roja
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Nobody captain Negredo

    3. BobBradleysOpportunity

      negredo doesn't make the top 10 so?

      (K)ane!

      1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Probably the safest choice.

      I've ended up with Townsend. Should be fun 😀

    6. SouthCoastSaint
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Who's this Negrado fella. Maybe that's why I'm not top 10

    7. FPL Puppy
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Kane 10th?? 😯

      1. Zikry
        • 11 Years

          • 10 Years

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

        1. Dr Dream
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          10th overall probably realised their was no point captaining Negredo, Rashford or Benteke.

          1. Ógie
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years

    Negredo and Gibson owners, no need to panic yet. Ville Ronke captained and VC'ed both. Ronke knows.

    @Sims.

    This is a serious question; why are you posting provoking things, spamming and have this kind of rude attitude to certain posts?
    It's not funny and you know it.

    It's easier to be hated than loved, but most people here are genuinely nice and I think you should try it too.

      Typical attention seeker

    4. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Well said. Easier not to respond I guess but it's damn annoying.

    5. Sims

      2. Numb

        No need, just try and be nice.
