We’re treated to two final showdowns before the curtains are drawn on Gameweek 31. The Manchester clubs clash at the Etihad as the battle for the Champions League places intensifies, while title-chasing Tottenham Hotspur are visited by a Bournemouth side that’s recorded three successive wins.

Both City and United have flattered to deceive from an attacking perspective across their last four matches: United netted five goals and accrued the joint-fourth-fewest attempts (40), while the Sky Blues placed in the bottom seven for shot-conversion rate (8.3%). At the other end of the pitch, City allowed the fewest shots inside the box (11) of any side but still retrieved the ball from the net on as many occasions (five) as United.

Spurs tallied 16 more attempts (88) and 10 more shots on target (36) than any team across their previous quartet of league encounters, yet they suffered from a 6.8% shot-conversion rate. In contrast, Bournemouth produced some clinical finishing over their last four and subsequently placed joint-third for shot-conversion (16.7%). The Cherries have also shown improved defensive form with just three goals conceded in their last five road trips. However, Tottenham can perhaps take comfort from the fact that only Norwich City have conceded more big chances away from home than Eddie Howe’s side.

      I was thinking of removing Kane this GW

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

        Me 2. His goals could dry up in next weeks no?

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

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

        Mental, I'd remove Kun first.

        1. Moin
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

            One had form the other hasn't,
            One is chasing the league, the other isn't,
            One is on for the golden boot, the other isn't!
            You get my drift Moin! 😉

      3. Fred54

    • Danstoke82
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Starting to wonder whether keeping Kun is worthwhile. Something I thought I'd never question

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

      My GW transfer was Eriksen > Firmino as DGW preparation.

      1. Yank Revolution
        • 14 Years

        Cray with Bournemouth Home

      • 10 Years

      So what exactly happened to Hart?

    • Sif
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Spurs still on to leak they're standard 1 goal.

    • funnyoldgame
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Seriously thinking of ditching Kun for the DGW. I think there is better value to be had elsewhere.

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

        That could be something
