Saturday’s events conclude on the south coast as Bournemouth host Swansea City at the Vitality Stadium.

It’s a fitting finale for Fantasy managers, who will have keen interest in several key assets who promise another round of returns.

Josh King will be the headline act following his Gameweek 28 exploits that brought an 18-point return. More than 221,000 FPL managers swooped for the Norwegian ahead of today’s contest, with another 20,000 going so far as to hand him the armband.

But the Swans boast their own major assets, as Gylfi Sigurdsson looks to return points once again: he’s provided a goal or an assist in eight of his nine outings under Paul Clement.

Meanwhile, Fernando Llorente is fit to lead the attack for the Welsh club as he bids to reward a flood of new owners that arrived prior to Gameweek 28. More than 116,000 sold the Spanish striker ahead of this evening’s game following his one-point return and early exit at Hull City last weekend

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

      • 11 Years

      1. Ha.
        • 10 Years

        Why were you worried?

        1. Lawrø
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Anything can happen... high ownership and a couple of rivals own him

  11. Jude Rooney
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Another og perhaps?

  12. WVA
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Ok to wildcard tonight?
    DGW fixtures likely to be announced before next gw?

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Nobody knows.

    2. Netley Lucas
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      They're leaking out as we speak, yep.

    3. dhamphiir
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      If you are planning to wildcard tonight then rather make transfer and wc on 31st March for price change profit

      1. Diva
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Better tell everyone else wildcarding this week too if you want that to work. 🙂

        1. Diva
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Scratch that, misread you. 😳

  13. The Wise Owl
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Llorente on a WC wasn't my best moment.

    1. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      You were supposed to use your WC to clear out the GW28 trash, not get them in!

    2. KingNidge
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Anyone who i have had in that 3rd striker slot all season long has been totally gash

      1. Yank Revolution
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Get three premium Fs. I despise budget strikers and they rarely perform.

        1. KingNidge
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Yeah i may well lean that way next season tbh

          1. Yank Revolution
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 3 months ago

            Cool! Glad someone finally listened to me 😉

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

        Half the time it isn't even the quality of the strikers but the teams they play in creating rubbish chances.

        So hard to know when lower sides will show up. Expected far better from Swansea today.

    3. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Swansea don't have a DGW. Shouldn't have got those kind of players in to be fair.

      1. The Wise Owl
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Might take a -4 to get Gab in!

  14. nkhoughton
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    I'm not even mad I captained king, he's looked amazing could of had more, gonna get more points than Alexis

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Sorry to burst your bubble, but Sanchez got 9 points.

      1. nkhoughton
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        A difference of 1 point Oh well

    2. Jude Rooney
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      You having a laugh

      1. nkhoughton
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        What?

        1. Jude Rooney
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          I'd be gutted not to captain Lukaku

    3. The Big Fella
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      King is so last week mate. It is all about Afobe this week.

  15. Somalion
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Well this is disappointing from the Swans 😕 Thought they had it cracked in recent weeks, make use of good crosses etc. but today has been pretty lousy.

  16. Albrightondknight
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    So Valencia goes away with Ecuador? That put anyone off getting him?

    1. KingNidge
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Yes
      No

      1. Albrightondknight
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Thanks. How did Cheltenham go for you. The Irish kicked ass and in rugby today too. Go on. Just need Siggy and Llorente to do a Lukaku now and I am on for the ton. Great days.

        1. KingNidge
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Ended up even mate as i didn't place one bet in the end haha was flying back from Manchester so didn't even see the Gold Cup.. Llorente and Mawson are dead to me lol

          1. Albrightondknight
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 3 months ago

            Me neither streamed a lot of it though. Llorente would be gone if there were no other fires to put out. I would have been on sizing John if betting though. Got to remember all the ones that would have lost!!

    2. Crow
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      If I'm not gonna wildcard this week I'll probably just take the price rise

      1. Albrightondknight
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        I probably get him and Deeney tonight get too tight on cash. Risky as we saw last week but needs must.

  17. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Llorente joins the top 3 list of worst transfers I've done this season along with Fuchs and Cedric.

    1. Yank Revolution
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      So you avoided the Gundogan Plague, eh? Nice....

    2. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      No Phillips?

      1. Team Cruel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        No Phillips but I forgot Stan. Make it top 4 worst.

    3. MTPockets
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Will be quietly filed away with Gundogan.

  18. The Big Fella
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Can't wait for the 90th minute so I can cash in on those massive 4 points.

  19. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Consolation Mawson goal in 4 min

  20. Stupendous
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Will my Aguero captain equal or better Lukaku 32pts????

    54 with Mane Alli Firmino and Aguero (c) to go.

    Bit excited.

    1. Yank Revolution
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Looking for Kun to do well, but getting even half of Kaku's points would be wunderbar.

    2. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Nice score but no

    3. Ha.
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      4 points 😉

    4. Crow
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      You never know with city and pool, honestly the defense are dog sh.t both teams..

      1. Stupendous
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Kun 3
        Mane 2 1 assist Firmino 1 2 assists

        3 3 draw

        100 pt week

    5. The Big Fella
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Cue Eriksen, Wijnaldam, Can and Fernandinho goals 😉

      1. Ha.
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Wij doesn't score away from home

        1. The Big Fella
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          He scores when he wants

          1. Les Bleus
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 3 months ago

            Except away from home.

  21. Magic Bean
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Wow. Both my rivals took out Siggy this week. Cmon Siggy in the last few minutes!

  22. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    I don't mind sacrificing my King cs point for a Siggy goal or assist 🙂

  23. Legomane
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Siggy Llorente here with A.Smith on my bench. Siggy goal required to justify the hit I took that pushed him onto the bench...(Brunt>Valencia)...

  24. Jönny
    • 17 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Idea for a new chip...you have one week over the season where you can make subs mid gameweek.

    Reckon we could lobby FPL to introduce it before the end of this week?

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Or Auto-Captain - it automatically captains your highest scoring player... Play WC before a DGW & Auto-Captain ensures highest scorer captained 🙂

      1. Yank Revolution
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        This is a good one...another is, "Vice Captain Counts" chip.

    2. fiveyears
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Not a fan of any chip which automatically gives you points after the GW has started.

  25. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Remember Michu? Great FPL one season wonder

  26. Ha.
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Is three Swansea too much?

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Yep. 3 too much.

  27. ZeBestee
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    what is the average points so far?

    1. Crow
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Around 60 for top 10k

    2. Diva
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      31, 57 top 10k

  28. Caleb's Kitties
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Sell carroll or llorente?
    Buy costa or vardy?

    1. Ha.
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Llorente
      Vardy

    2. ZeBestee
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      both if you have enough itb

  29. umerlfc
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Vardy or Gabbiadini?

    1. Crow
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Wait for soton game

      1. umerlfc
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Just don't want to take Kane's price drop :p

    2. Gooner Kebab
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Vardy

    3. Ha.
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Gabbi

  30. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    swansea look absolutely clueless

    1. Debauchy
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      BOBin

    2. The Big Fella
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Keeping Siggy. When they do score, he will inevitably be involved. Llorente is gone for Gabbi assuming he doesn't injure himself or get banned like every other striker I intend to bring in.
