Riyad Mahrez was backed heavily to return in Gameweek 28 but the Foxes’ winger could not get past Jack Butland. More

Gameweek 28 was frustrating for most fantasy managers with just two clean sheets from the weekend’s nine games. Adding to the frustration, the goals which prevented the clean sheets were not scored by some of the most backed players of the Gameweek including Theo Walcott, Callum Wilson and Riyad Mahrez.

Liverpool’s now fab-three all scored a goal-a-piece and Mohamed Salah even got added another assist to his tally to bring him to 10 assists for the season, in addition to the 23 goals he has put away. Meanwhile, those backing Kane were left frustrated despite the Englishman’s goal. He may be leading the Golden Boot race, but his sole assist for the season, earned in Gameweek 9, has left him trailing his Egyptian rivals in terms of total fantasy points earned.

Elsewhere, the early kick-off left a sour taste in many mouths, following a lack of returns from the much-touted Riyad Mahrez. Although it wasn’t for lack of trying. The Algerian fired off six shots in the game, three of which were expertly pawed away by Jack Butland as he racked up nine saves in the match.

The Gameweek started with plenty of optimism (as it always does), with Riyad Mahrez expected to put a few past Stoke.

But it was Stoke who scored the first goal of the weekend, with Xherdan Shaqiri scoring for the third week in a row.

News of a Leicester goal opened thousands of Livescore apps, but all closed the app in frustration after seeing Leicester goalscorer, the prolific ‘own-goal’. It would not be the last time he scored in Gameweek 28.

For some managers, news of a Xherdan Shaqiri goal and a Riyad Mahrez blank was too much to bear.

Liverpool finished the game on 104 goals for the season, with a triple Liverpool attack looking more appealing every time they thrash an opponent.

Liverpool’s first goal sparked songs in the heads of fantasy managers up and down the country.

Never trust Liverpool for a clean sheet — Richard :: FPL (@FantasyEagles) February 24, 2018





Liverpool had two clean sheets in the three games prior to the West Ham game, but it was too good to be true when they were 3-0 up at home as Michael Antonio punished them for losing the ball in the middle of the park.





Dwight Gayle scored for the first time since Gameweek 16 in the 16th minute and then did it again just before the half to give Newcastle a 2-0 lead. The Magpies had not scored twice since Gameweek 19 but the Bournemouth defence duly obliged. The Cherries have now conceded eight goals in three games against Stoke, Huddersfield and Newcastle.
