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.

    We've checked Mark's team, that's a definite Mawson OG.

    FPL Official @fplofficial 15 secs
    After a second review of Mark's team we've come to the conclusion that it is Afobe goal, King assist.

    It was wide and will be an OG.

        Looks fairly obvious from link on previous page.

          Sick of owning him already.

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 15 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            The cool guys sold him for Kane

            Llorente out, Gabbi in this week

          3. McEwan
            • 16 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Don't know if it's the camera angle but always think Bournemouth has a tight park and it will be ideal for him in terms of getting balls in the box. Formation doesn't really help him with the lack of width

      2. Shultan
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        How is that not an OG?
        Afobes shot was going left of goal

          • Has Moderation Rights

          Can still be changed.

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 15 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Will be changed

            1. Ha.
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              Should be changed

              1. Les Bleus
                • 14 Years
                9 years, 1 month ago

                Has been changed.

        Is the international break a good time to WC dont think I can wait now. If I rollover frees I can bring in more Dgwers

        Thoughts?

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          If you know the DGW fixtures, it could be.

          1. nkhoughton
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            When do we expect them to be announced, I mean we know the teams who have dgws already

        2. Rainer
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          As good as anytime really. With luck we should know the confirm DGW dates so that would massively help you.

        3. Revival
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Wait until some of the DGW's are confirmed..will make planning for them so much easier

      4. Freshy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years

        I shipped Kingsley for Mowson this GW
        Must not be a OG

      5. Ha.
        • 10 Years

        Do we think Sanchez is going to rise in price tonight?

        1. Rainer
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          No.

          1. Ha.
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            @99%

            Can't imagine too many selling just yet?

            1. Rainer
              • 9 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              Ridiculous to buy him tonight. Dropping in lower according to FPL stats.

              1. Ha.
                • 10 Years
                9 years, 1 month ago

                I've seen stranger things happen...

        2. The Big Fella
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Depends on injury I suppose

      6. Nellybc

        9 years, 1 month ago

        Gabbi & ?? > Benteke & Defoe

        Leaves 12 ITB. Trying to save some to upgrade to Sanchez possibly for DGW's

        A: Kane
        B: Costa
        C: Vardy
        D: Another ??

        Lukaku is other striker. Trying to play 3 strikers.

        1. Ha.
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Why are you selling Gabbi?

          1. Ha.
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Wait, surely you mean the other way, right?

            1. Nellybc
              • 9 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              Sorry! Completely messed that up...

              The other way...

      9. Rainer

        2. The Bandit
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Is it just me or is it out of order that people can enter the cup after the deadline when they have a good score? 😐

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member

              "Fantasy managers can enter their teams from now right up to 10.30am on Monday March 27, when we’ll stop entry and make the first round draws shortly after."

              • 16 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              I do agree with that. Although, I didn't realise there was one running until someone mentioned it earlier and fired in an entry! Justice will be that I won't qualify! I am a bye for any contributor tho, akers, mark have both eliminated me! Mark with his Yakuku 4 goal haul if I remember

            4. Woy of the Wovers
              • 15 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              Yes. But FFS tournaments have always allowed this.

              1. McEwan
                • 16 Years
                9 years, 1 month ago

                In the beginning, they were closed to entries by the gw deadline. The site has blown up since so I don't argue against opening it up to the massives with a longer entry period to keep as many happy as poss.

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

            Mawson OG finally given.

            So who's going to break the news to Afobe that he didn't score the goal?

            So King almost scored a OG and Mawson did get one.

            1. Sim Simma
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 15 Years

              And Siggy almost scored and assisted

            2. Rainer
              • 9 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              ... can tell which one is in Marks team so

          12. fedolefan
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Damn it. Mawson second on my bench behind an injured Walker.

            1. Ha.
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              Walker may yet play?

              1. fedolefan
                • 11 Years
                9 years, 1 month ago

                Yeah, I was cool thinking Mawson was second or third until I just remembered that Walker may not play. Suddenly becomes a little more relevant. Fairly unlucky I'd say, if I get that OG with two players missing.

          13. Bruno Bruno!!
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            All the people who had Funes Mori and Mawson first Sub must be pleased that FM got a 1 point cameo appearance
