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.

    How many points in autosubs have you got?
    30 for me with majority forced.
    Mark has 40 with most being lucky 🙂

        Forced equals playing a suspended/injured player etc with no chance for points.

      Most players do better against weaker.

      7 of Lukaku's goals this year have come against Sunderland / Bournemouth in 2 games.

      The issue with Lukaku is that he has these explosive games but follows them up with mediocre games which is baffling. He doesn't keep the form over the course of a season a la a world class Sanchez or in the past Suarez, RVP, Aguero. Of course, he is much younger.

      That said, he can score against anybody.

          Correct, but there are also consistent FPL options of the past few years that tick along week in and week out even though they don't win the title.

          I own Lukaku and he's great during this period and is excellent value for the money, it's just important not to expect him to produce week in and week out consistent returns a la Aguero or others... He will blank more frequently.

          In the past there have been many FPL players who stayed consistent over the course of a season even without being on title challenging teams.

          I see no issue with an EVE double up as they have great fixtures 26, 28, and 29 and one difficult one (27). You could bench Funes Mori at Spurs in 27 if you bring him in and play the more attacking player Baines and be all set.

          You could be rewarded with 2 clean sheets / 4 gameweeks which would be an excellent return in that price range.

          Another option is Ibra to Kane if Spurs lose to Fulham or Sanchez to Eriksen if Spurs lose to Fulham.

      I'd say B, I'm 50 points behind my mini league leader, we both have TC & BB but I also have WC remaining. I'm hoping my planning for the blanks/DGW's will be the difference. You can make the difference up, keep the faith 🙂

    Jesus will be straight back in the team as soon as he's fit again. From the interview just then you can tell he's not that bothered with Aguero.

    When Toure came back in he wouldn't stop saying how amazing he is. Nothing of the sort for Aguero.

    I'm happy to bench Jesus for now. Don't know who I'd swap him for.

    2 FT: Sanchez + Stanislas ---> Hazard + Barkley

    Yes or No?

    Bought Sanchez for 11.8 and Stanislas for 5.2, so every price drop will affect my selling price. Could be a 0.6 swing.

      Maybe, but that's a whole lot of casuals, not many active players will have Kun.

    Sanchez is 11.4m if i sell him (11.8m) I don't really want to but how much is he going to drop? would it be worth selling to buy him back?

          He misses GW28 unless Arsenal lose to Sutton. And maybe Leicester have to lose as well, I can't remember.

          Won't be much use in 28 if ARS or LEI win their respective cup games. 29@WBA is my target.

      I can't see him going much lower than 11.5, it's not like he's red flagged for 3 weeks.

      You need to ship someone to field XI next week, would keep Jesus seeing as you have him. Ibra > Lukaku or Yoshida > Nyom/Robertson
