Gameweek 9 gets underway this lunchtime as in-form Bournemouth welcome Tottenham Hotspur to the Vitality Stadium.

Eddie Howe’s side warmed up for this one with a 6-1 hammering of Hull City last weekend and have now won each of their last three home fixtures.

The hosts are without Junior Stanislas, however, after the winger – who bagged two goals and a pair of assists against the Tigers – was ruled out with a calf injury.

Callum Wilson and Charlie Daniels have also been subject to increased Fantasy Premier league interest this week ahead of clashes against ‘Boro, Sunderland and Stoke in the subsequent three.

Spurs are without the injured Toby Alderweireld after the Belgian was forced off against West Brom last weekend.

A goalless draw against Bayern Leverkusen means the north London side have chalked up a clean sheet in five of the last seven in all competitions, boosting their chances of extending an unbeaten start to the Premier League campaign.

Son Heung-Min’s owners will also be keeping a keen eye on today’s encounter. Having earned over 328,000 transfers in prior to Gameweek 8, the South Korean was utilised as a late sub at the Hawthorns and was stationed on the left flank in Germany against his former club.

This time around, though, it looks like he will lead the line as Vincent Janssen drops to the bench.

With Leicester, Arsenal, West Ham and Chelsea directly after today’s fixture, a lack of returns could persuade Son’s 13% owners to reassess.

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

          10 years, 4 days ago

          Took a hit to avoid playing him this gameweek. I expected Tottenham to score several.

    FFFix:
    We estimate that 19.2% of FPL squads are now 'dead' (zero transfers for 5 GW's)

  13. itwaswritten
    10 years, 4 days ago

    So Stanislas is now injured without some warning? A mess and a half.

    1. Worzel Gummidge

        10 years, 4 days ago

        I will pretty soon how the things are going. I can't believe PL was so boring?????

        The ''derby'' last week was a snooze, if it was a La Ligod derby, the goals you would've seen... Lord! But anyway, we can't really compare the two since La Ligod is WAY better.

          the lads were tired..

  14. itwaswritten
    10 years, 4 days ago

    Mess. Of course Son is starting right when I transfer him out.

    I'm cry.

    1. Numb
      10 years, 4 days ago

      Was pretty obvious to be fair

  15. Ziro
    10 years, 4 days ago

  16. Make United Great Again
    10 years, 4 days ago

    Bournemouth and their creative corners. That was close!

  17. One Terry Hurlock
    10 years, 4 days ago

    My mate did Sanchez as capt but it says it's on kun, i seem to remember this sort of thing has happened before, will it stay on kun or change to Sanchez?? Thanks

    1. Worzel Gummidge
      10 years, 4 days ago

      Just look at his team and see whom it is on.

      1. One Terry Hurlock
        10 years, 4 days ago

        It's on kun but he had put it on sanchez

        1. VS10_
          10 years, 4 days ago

          He didn't save his team then.

          1. One Terry Hurlock
            10 years, 4 days ago

    1-1 please with obscure goalscorers please

    1. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 4 days ago

      A Bournemouth 1-0 would be grand

  19. TheBusDriver
    10 years, 4 days ago

    Noooo! Need that Spurs cleanie gone!

    1. Jay_
      10 years, 4 days ago

      Lloris is a pain in the ass

  20. Bun Rab
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 4 days ago

    So Henderson, Costa and Felliani are all on 4 bookings and will miss EFL cup fixture midweek if booked today/tm. How many do we think will be booked? All 3?

    1. SW6
      10 years, 4 days ago

      Yep

    2. Worzel Gummidge
      10 years, 4 days ago

      All 3 will 100% be booked

    3. Bun Rab
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 4 days ago

      Just seems like a cheeky bet waiting to happen.

      1. Ginkapo FPL
        10 years, 4 days ago

        Aye, but what odds?

        1. Bun Rab
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          10 years, 4 days ago

          Hendo 13/10, Costa 8/13, Fella evens on PP. Won't seem to let me do a treble/acca though.

  21. itwaswritten
    10 years, 4 days ago

    If swear to god if Son scores...

    1. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 4 days ago

      You'll....

  22. Fowler23

    Lamela taking lessons from Ashley young
    Diving tw&t

    1. Bun Rab
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 4 days ago

      Should have moved it on by that point as well.

  23. Ginkapo FPL
    10 years, 4 days ago

    12pt hit week for me.

    Hennesey to Grant
    Shaw to Holebas
    Ibra to Costa
    S.Davis to WALCOTT

    Walcott (C) alongside Sanchez

    Could even be great or awful. Either way needed a refresh of a few positions. My defense has McCauley alongside Nyom....

    1. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 4 days ago

      Jaysus...

      1. Ginkapo FPL
        10 years, 4 days ago

        I play in a work H2H league. If I am going to take hits, got to do it all in one go. Got a relatively easy opponent this week. One who has Son(C)...

  24. Costa in Wengerland
    10 years, 4 days ago

    Erik Lamela will Score 2 goals today and there will be a Bandwagon.

    1. Mull
      10 years, 4 days ago

      And the crowd goes mild.

  25. Champione
    10 years, 4 days ago

    Deeney GW10 captain locked in 😀

  26. Numb
    10 years, 4 days ago

    Bournemouth pretty tight at home so chance of a Smith CS here?

  27. Pariße
    10 years, 4 days ago

    Skiing's started today, where the f did summer go?

    1. Malcolm Tucker for England …
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 4 days ago

      more to the point who's gone efing skiing?!?
      when it snows we will go down a hill on a tea tray and we'll like it

      1. Pariße
        10 years, 4 days ago

        A proud nordic and alpine skier here, although I am bothered by the cold weather and always hate it when the season starts. 😛

  28. Ziro
    10 years, 4 days ago

    When a defender 'clears' the ball out for a corner, does it count towards CBI?

    1. HuttonDressedasLahm
      10 years, 4 days ago

      Don't see why not. You could argue the same for a save otherwise

  29. Jay_
    10 years, 4 days ago

    Lamela off the angle

    1. Jay_
      10 years, 4 days ago

      Then a yc

    2. Numb
      10 years, 4 days ago

      Unlucky for a load of dead teams

  30. Dr Dream
    10 years, 4 days ago

    Any time Son wants to join in he can do. Poor so far.

    1. Pochecinno
      10 years, 4 days ago

      False no. 9, Wakey. It's not what it's made out to be in FPL terms
