Gameweek 25 concludes at the Vitality Stadium with Bournemouth paying host to Pep Guardiola’s Mancheseter City.

Once again Pep’s teamsheet steals the pre-match headlines, with Gabriel Jesus preferred as his central striker, leaving Sergio Aguero on the bench for a third successive outing.

Transferred in by more than 210,000 ahead of Gameweek 25, Jesus is skippered by 156,000 tonight up against a Cherries defence that has shipped more Premier League goals than any other side in 2017, conceding three or more in eight of their last twelve matches.

That defence is at last bolstered tonight by an array of returnees, as Charlie Daniels, Simon Francis and Adam Smith all overcome knocks to claim berths.

Elsewhere, manager Eddie Howe prefers Jordan Ibe to Junior Stanislas on the right flank, as Josh King again leads the attack.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

      The irony is that Jacky would get injured 😉

  14. Team Cruel

    Howe is a clown if he doesn't bring on Stan before the 30th minute.

  15. fedolefan
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 15 days ago

    What's the worst scoreline you think a peak slick passing, in form City machine can beat Bournemouth by? I'm thinking they can easily score a goal every 5-6 minutes for the first 45 mins before shutting up shop. 6-0 in the first half. This can be Brazil-Germany like humiliation.

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 15 days ago

      True.

      Bore draw confirmed.

    Currently 15, 261.

    1. b✪mber
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 15 days ago

      Some of those are probably Gabiadini > Jesus

      1. fedolefan
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 15 days ago

        All of those are Ibra > Jesus.

        1. b✪mber
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 15 days ago

          There is some kid out there that doesn't follow FPL forums. This kid had $ ITB from doing Sanchez > Siggy last week. This week he does Rondon > Gabiadini, but after realizing Gabiadini misses out it rage transfers Jesus.

          4M teams - there has to be at least 1.

    I've been waiting all week for this match, and it's finally here

    A clash of titans

    Two great sides, so much at stake

    It is of course the university challenge quarter final between Oxford and Cambridge

      1. Leaf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 15 days ago

        I'm not sure how well Jack would do on University challenge

    3. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 15 days ago

      A quiz where the challenge isn't so much getting the answer, as it is understanding the question.

    4. Old Man

    My main rival (ranked 1k) has De Bruyne (c) and is getting Lanzini off the bench.

    I'm worried

  25. Hybrid.power
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years

    He hasnt scored yet?

    1. Gerbs
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 15 days ago

      Yeah but did you see how pretty City look passing it around the defenders and goalkeeper? Pep must be proud

    2. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 15 days ago

      He's benched.

    3. Revival

      apparently Sterling's cross accuracy this season is 6.5%, one of the worst in the league..that may explain it

      1. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
