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.

    1. Harper_
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 29 days ago

      1. Ha.
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 29 days ago

        Why were you worried?

        1. Lawrø
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 29 days ago

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

  11. Jude Rooney
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 29 days ago

    Another og perhaps?

  12. WVA
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 29 days ago

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

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 29 days ago

      Nobody knows.

    2. Netley Lucas
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 29 days ago

      They're leaking out as we speak, yep.

    3. dhamphiir
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 29 days 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, 29 days ago

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

        1. Diva
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 29 days ago

          Scratch that, misread you. 😳

  13. The Wise Owl
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 29 days ago

    Llorente on a WC wasn't my best moment.

    1. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 29 days ago

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

    2. KingNidge
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 29 days 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, 29 days ago

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

        1. KingNidge
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 29 days ago

          Yeah i may well lean that way next season tbh

          1. Yank Revolution
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 29 days ago

            Cool! Glad someone finally listened to me 😉

      2. Somalion
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 29 days 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, 29 days 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, 29 days ago

        Might take a -4 to get Gab in!

  14. nkhoughton
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 29 days 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, 29 days ago

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

      1. nkhoughton
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 29 days ago

        A difference of 1 point Oh well

    2. Jude Rooney
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 29 days ago

      You having a laugh

      1. nkhoughton
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 29 days ago

        What?

        1. Jude Rooney
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 29 days ago

          I'd be gutted not to captain Lukaku

    3. The Big Fella
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 29 days ago

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

  15. Somalion
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 29 days 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, 29 days ago

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

    1. KingNidge
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 29 days ago

      Yes
      No

      1. Albrightondknight
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 29 days 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, 29 days 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, 29 days 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, 29 days 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, 29 days 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, 29 days 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, 29 days ago

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

    2. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 29 days ago

      No Phillips?

      1. Team Cruel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 29 days ago

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

    3. MTPockets
        9 years, 29 days ago

        Will be quietly filed away with Gundogan.

    4. The Big Fella
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 29 days ago

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

    5. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 29 days ago

      Consolation Mawson goal in 4 min

    6. Stupendous
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 29 days 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, 29 days 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, 29 days ago

        Nice score but no

      3. Ha.
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 29 days ago

        4 points 😉

      4. Crow
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 29 days ago

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

        1. Stupendous
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 29 days 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, 29 days ago

        Cue Eriksen, Wijnaldam, Can and Fernandinho goals 😉

        1. Ha.
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 29 days ago

          Wij doesn't score away from home

          1. The Big Fella
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 29 days ago

            He scores when he wants

            1. Les Bleus
              • 14 Years
              9 years, 29 days ago

              Except away from home.

    7. Magic Bean
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 29 days ago

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

    8. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 29 days ago

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

    9. Legomane
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 29 days 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)...

    10. Jönny
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 29 days 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, 29 days 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, 29 days ago

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

      2. fiveyears
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 29 days ago

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

    11. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 29 days ago

      Remember Michu? Great FPL one season wonder

    12. Ha.
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 29 days ago

      Is three Swansea too much?

      1. Les Bleus
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 29 days ago

        Yep. 3 too much.

    13. ZeBestee
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 29 days ago

      what is the average points so far?

      1. Crow
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 29 days ago

        Around 60 for top 10k

      2. Diva
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 29 days ago

        31, 57 top 10k

    14. Caleb's Kitties
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 29 days ago

      Sell carroll or llorente?
      Buy costa or vardy?

      1. Ha.
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 29 days ago

        Llorente
        Vardy

      2. ZeBestee
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 29 days ago

        both if you have enough itb

    15. umerlfc
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 29 days ago

      Vardy or Gabbiadini?

      1. Crow
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 29 days ago

        Wait for soton game

        1. umerlfc
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 29 days ago

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

      2. Gooner Kebab
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 29 days ago

        Vardy

      3. Ha.
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 29 days ago

        Gabbi

    16. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 29 days ago

      swansea look absolutely clueless

      1. Debauchy
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 29 days ago

        BOBin

      2. The Big Fella
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 29 days 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.
