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.

          You have to keep FPL stats based. If there's one thing this site proves it's that people have different opinions. Points should never be issued based on someone's opinion.

      Well he was way down the BPS after his booking - BPS shot up when it was thought he assisted.

      For some reason it has been brought back down - better had as my ML chaser has him and all over me.

          Him and Gabriel Jesus were my favorite signings of the window. Especially Sane. Such a talent.
