With Saturday’s programme ravaged by the FA Cup Quarter-Finals, there are just two more Premier League clashes to scrutinise this afternoon: Bournemouth play host to a resurgent Swansea City side, while Southampton search for their first win in four when they travel to Stoke.

The Cherries fared well on the attacking front over the last four Gameweeks – tallying six goals – but it’s their reaguard that has really shined: aside from being breached on just four occasions, they conceded the fewest shots inside the box (21) of any team that didn’t face a blank during that timeframe. As for the Swans, they also restricted their opponents to four goals but allowed the second-most shots inside the box (45) and joint-third-most big chances (nine).

Only three teams racked up more goals than Stoke City (seven) over the previous four Gameweeks, reflecting their improvement in the final third. In addition, Mark Hughes’ charges conceded the fewest goals (three) and big chances (three) of any outfit that didn’t miss a fixture over this spell. Shifting our attention to Saints, they ranked in the bottom third for attempts (43) and shots inside the box (23), illustrating their need for an attacking spark.

      I have Fab so wouldn't mind a CS but Eriksen -4 better do better than Rangel.

      Worst case scenario: Swans score with no Siggy involvement

        Worst ? Best case scenario 😀

        Could be worse, could be a Williams goal as well.

        Ah well a lot of us in the same boat. We move on. Unlike all the moaners on here.

          I'm not too bothered. Just a game. Barely have time to pay attention to FPL these days, pretty much (C)aptained him because it was the only match I could watch on TV this week! 😆

    • twoplustwo

      Stoke any better than the Bournemouth game to watch?

      1. Puzzle
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Stoke - Soton is quite boring tbh. Southampton early goal kind of killed it, Stoke looking poor.

          • 11 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Cheers. The latter is no better, and I've Derby on the radio. Cack all round.

        • 14 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        I own Pelle but at 750k it doesn't mean much.

        1. Norb
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          It might 😉

        • 16 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

      2. Cheeseoid
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Makes a change from loudly turning into a shitty week. Which is what usually happens to me at least

        1. Eskimooo
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Your in top 110k oh my heart bleeds , all those shitty weeks how do you cope , how can you claim shittty weeks usually happen at that rank seriously ?

          1. rozzo
            • 12 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            You think 110k rank at this stage is good?

            1. Eskimooo
              • 10 Years
              10 years, 1 month ago

              I think claiming shitty weeks keep happening at that rank is outrageous , I did not once say it was good

      1. Mark-O
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

      • 16 Years

    • VS10_
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago
