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.

    So going Antonio & Llorente over King and Carroll not paid off.

    Llorente to Gabiaddini makes complete sense right?

    Thanks, Joshua 🙂

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

      Yeah
      You could buy him first, wait for news and if he gets injured play wc and get him out

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

      I'm getting Walker I think. Valencia is another good option though.

    3. VFORVANDETA
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Thanks.buy player who will rise and after int break just wc.

    Arsenal forward Alexis Sanchez's right ankle is in "an absolutely terrible state" and he may have ligament damage, says manager Arsene Wenger.

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

      There'll be war if Chile call him up & he gets even more injured & misses a few weeks because of it... Not good for Arsenal

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

        If he's hurt, Chile won't want him.

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

      Should have sub him at half time

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

      So why did he play him 2nd half?

      1. MTPockets
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Sanchez insisted, apparently.

      2. Cars and Mané

        Wenger is a wimp

    4. Van der Faart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Would never wish injury on any player apart from Jack Wilshere, but that's absolute karma getting the Arsenal fans back for their horrendous attitude towards Wenger

      1. Oi! Shadders!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        What a ridiculous notion. How does this pay Arsenal fans back?

    You just can't sell Llorente ahead of (H) to Boro.

    You really can't

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

      1. Ha.

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

        Now I look more closely, you just CAN'T sell Llorente before Sunderland in GW37

    2. KingNidge
      • 10 Years

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

    9. Individual
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

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

  13. Sims
    • 9 Years

    58 points so far enough to take me into top 10k from 11k?

    Avg is very high. 56 I think

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

      Computer says no

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

      No. Not unless you have like 5 players playing tomorrow

      1. Sims
        • 9 Years

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

      Wasn't that high pre-Swansea match. 29 or something somebody said. I am on 85 anyway.

    4. Van der Faart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      I've got 72. FFFIX has me just inside top 10k from 16k if that's any sort of guide?

  15. Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Why won't Siggy go to a better club? Such a waste of talent.

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

      Are swansea that bad though

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

      He did. Then he sat on the bench. Then he rejoined Swansea.

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

      He will.

  16. Ridcully
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Disappointing that Sigurdsson did not get anything but great Gameweek otherwise.

  17. VFORVANDETA
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    First Siggy blank after (7 13 6 6 5 5).Not complain.

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

      2 blanks in 9. Nothing to worry about at all.

    2. Konig Luther
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      just when i decide to make him captain

  18. Sims
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Middlesbrough is one of the best team defensively in the league

    No reason to keep Llorentem gone from my team

    1. Cars and Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Not away from home they aren't.

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

        16 goals conceded on the road

        1. Cars and Mané
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Conceded fifth most shots in the box in the league

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

            It's the goals that count

            1. Cars and Mané
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 14 Years
              9 years, 3 months ago

              Aye. You do you.

  19. bitm2007
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    59 with only Mane, Coutinho and P.Jones to come (Baines 1st sub)

    I don't think it will be good enough to make the members cup.

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

      Sure it will.

      1. bitm2007
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Depends on how many entries

  20. Bruno Bruno!!
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Top 1k average after bonus points according FFFix is 58

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

    About 80 with baps and only Mane and lol Stones tomorrow. I am off to start building a self catering apartment behind the couch.

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

      Mane could get 4 and give you a 100 pt week

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

        Stones gets 16 easy 🙂

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

          You'd take a 116 pt week I'm sure

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

        Sorry you meant goals not points. That's glass half full for sure.

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

          Yes ffs 4 goals against us

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

      -4

  22. Chucky
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Is 76(-4) going to be enough for FFS Cup qualification? 🙁 Only Kun and Coutinho left.

    1. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Good chance

    2. Cars and Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Probably

    3. Parm
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Easily.

    4. Chucky
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      ta

  23. Jambot
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    If spurs make the cup final next year will it be at Wembley with a group and none of us know the answer

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

    54 with Mane Alli Firmino and Aguero (c) to go. I'll take it!

    1. MTPockets
      9 years, 3 months ago

      55 + Sane, Aguero, Alli. So will I after last week.

  25. Dirty Harry
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Get out of my team Llorente you useless piece of cardboard.

    Hello either Vardy or Gabbi!

    1. La Roja
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Say hello to both at least, jeez

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

      Llorente will score a brace next time out

  26. We Will Klopp you
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Thinking about using my ft to do Kane to Ibra to spare me the potential Coutinho/Siggy bench headache and Kane drop, anyway quick poll to decide.

    A) Ibra (bench)
    B) Vardy
    C) Gabbiadini

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

    Lanzini 10 pointer on the bench 🙁

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

      I'm starting a support group...

  28. Sims
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Boro have conceded 16 away from home (14 games)

    And 14 at home (13 at home)

    Yes people think they are significantly worse defensively away from home. Why?

    1. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      You know what form they're in? And that Karanka has been fired?

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

        5 goals conceded in last 5

        8 in last 8

    2. Van der Faart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Probably because they aren't very good in terms winning football matches

  29. Live Lad
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    (1) Llorente to Costa (no Chelsea cover)
    (2) to GAbbi

    No doing yet of course. Just want to know your thoughts.

    1. Cars and Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      I'm thinking 1. Costa is probably the main captaincy option next week.

      1. Live Lad
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        I will have Costa, Kun, Kaku then. Kun will probably make way for Ibra. But not having GAbbi seems wrong. (Cheap, in form, early DGW perhaps)

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

      This was my first week as a Costa owner. Can't wait to get rid for Ibra

      1. Live Lad
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        But what if Chelsea gets earlier DGW?

  30. Lav
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    59. Lukaku(c), King, Alonso, & Pickford bonus to be factored in. Mane, Eriksen, Aguero to play.

    2 FTs over break. The hot streak continues 🙂

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

      73 with Mané, Coutinho, Eriksen and Sterling left here.
