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.

    Excluding this week, my average Captain score is a dismal 11.3 (after doubling). Maximum score: 26. First 9 games average: 6.4! Captained Mane 7 times total, but Kane and Lukaku only once each. Interestingly, 59% of my choices have been away games. Sunderland most captained against. Not sure what's gone wrong for me, but looking forward to some spare time to zoom into what's gone wrong.

    Anyone aware of their average captain score? How much does it affect the game? I always figured it kinda evens out over the course of the season, but my decisions appear to be consistently wrong, so the legitimacy of calling myself unlucky is diminishing every week.

      Just follow the pools every week.

        Rubbish

        Total Captain Points : 318
        Possible Captain Points if you Always used your Vice-Captain instead : 362
        Possible Captain Points if you Always Captained Highest Gameweek Scorer : 664

      Extremely extremely important. You can be a chancer with your transfers but not very often with your captain

      1. Jazz!

        This.

      2. Lawrø

        9 years, 3 months ago

        ^This

        My rule of thumb is always go with the top of the captain poll if the leader is winning by 20%-ish

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

          Then start thinking for yourself if the gap is fairly small but still err on the side of the majority 😀

        2. Harper_
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Yeah if the poll says top captain is above 40% then I always go for him

    4. Ayew Holding Mee Cork
      • 10 Years

      You shouldn't captain Liverpool players for so many times. That's all.

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

        Mane's average points (over 7 games I captained him) is higher than my overall average, so that's not likely the biggest problem for me here

    5. McEwan
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      I don't have any personal data to compare with you.

      I do think that there is 5/6 captains that I have as a go to, Aguero, Sanchez, hazard, Kane, Lukaku and will only venture from them if a fixture/form odd punt allows. Mane captained 7 times is just a no no for me. Once or twice a season maybe.

  6. VFORVANDETA

    Siggy King come on!

    1. sminkypinky

      Nope. Will end like this.

      What happened?

      1. The special 5

        Is it still playing?

      2. Jafooli

        Someone got arrested.

    Pickford/Heaton bench boost would be sweek this week

  9. RMA

    9 years, 3 months ago

    King is everywhere. Should have a goal by now. Where has he been hiding all season?

    1. Pierce34
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Behind Wilson, mostly. The emergence of King is one good thing that came out of the Wilson injury for Bournemouth. (though I do really feel for Wilson)

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

    I laughed at my rival who started Francis.

    Oh dear.

    1. Pierce34
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      I can do better, my rival has started Francis and Daniels.

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

        But did you laugh?

        1. Pierce34
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          I actually straight up told him it's stupid to keep starting two Bournemouth defenders!

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

            Well done!

            It is. I mean it will be. It should be. I hope it is 😀

      Excellent...he crushed it last week.

    7. Smurf

      I'm feeling pretty great. I've had him for the last two games before today and he's got me 27 points. Blanking today doesn't bother me in the slightest bit.

    8. Les Bleus

      Does he have to score every week?

  17. The Big Fella

    So glad I am getting rid of Llorente for next GW. He has done nothing for me since I brought him in. There were no other alternatives at the time in his price range though.

    How is SIggy doing?

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

      You must have just brought him in last week?

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

        Hhaha it feels longer. Probably because of the DGW.

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

      Having a tough time when there is no striker on the field. (Clever way of saying Llorente is nowhere to be seen)

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

        I am on 85 from 10 with Alli to go. Siggy or Llorente goal would really make my gameweek as I need to catch up points in my minileagues (I am about 100 behind the leader in one)

  18. sminkypinky
