The first of three Sunday afternoon fixtures gets underway at the Vitality Stadium as Bournemouth entertain Southampton in the 1.30pm kick-off.

Eddie Howe’s side have chalked up four clean sheets in eight matches in front of their own fans, with Charlie Daniels and Steve Cook heading into Gameweek 17 amongst the top seven scoring Fantasy Premier League defenders.

The out of position Adam Smith has also piqued our interest on the right flank, while Nathan Ake budget price tag made him the number one defender for transfers in ahead of the weekend.

Up against a Saints side with three goals in the last seven Gameweeks, Howe’s defence could plunder the points once again.

Bearing in mind that Southampton have served up four clean sheets in the previous five, goals may be hard to come by in this one.

Owners of Cedric Soares will be relieved as the right-back recovers from illness to return to Claude Puel’s starting XI.

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

  14. Arctic monkeys

    Stones dropped for good ?

  15. BB-8
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Got Toby because Pochettino had a full back rotation policy. Both full back play both games, Toby rested. Just can't win 🙁

    Cedric definitely passing they eye test - gets forward a lot and so many crosses!

    Think I'll keep.

    1. greghammer95
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Nothing like the eye test. Ignoring bertrands goal I still think he's a great choice, passed the eye test for sure.

    2. VS10_

      Problem is that he is likely to sit out WBA H.

      Spurs new formation really brings walker and Rose into play, and they're crazy attacking as it is

      If I knew any of the attackers for Burnley I would really be rooting for one of them to score.

      1. Ginkapo FPL
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Ake

      2. greghammer95
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Ha!

    • AA33
        9 years, 3 months ago

        I think that Ileanacho is not starting because Guardiola wants to dominate possession so he is starting an extra midfielder. He did the same against Barcelona, and they had more possession than Barcelona.

        1. Wilshere Knowledge
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          They can have the ball. I want to see Theo and Alexis counter. 😎

        Toby is no doubt rested as only recently back from injury. Suggested this a couple of weeks ago, that with Dier available, no reason really why Poch wouldn't shift him into CB for a game.

        9 years, 3 months ago

        Williams/Nacho to Alonso/Origi for -4 a good move.

        Will Kane/Evans to Ibra/Jones or Åkesson also be good for -4?

      • JustPark
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Kane with two goals and an assist(for Eriksen) to save this gameweek!
