Saturday’s events conclude at St Mary’s with a south coast derby between Southampton and Bournemouth.

Weeks ago, this was billed as Manolo Gabbiadini’s opportunity to shine having fired three goals in his opening two outings. But injury at Spurs last time out has kept him sidelined and means that our interest in the Saints is limited to a scouting mission ahead of their looming double Gameweeks. The defence and attacking pair Dusan Tadic and Nathan Redmond will come under scrutiny.

But Bournemouth arguably boast the key asset on show. FPL midfielder Josh King has fired eight goals in eight outings to present exceptional value for his 5.8 price tag. More than 123,000 swooped for King ahead of this evening’s outing with 10,000 trusting him with the Gameweek armband.

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

      Same. At least we get to be optimistic for longer.

    0-0 will do.

      What was that? Missed it ... link?

  4. Ha.
    • 10 Years

    Wish Gabbi was playing 🙁

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

    Eriksen's BPS' were altered but the assist still stands, great consistency.

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

      🙂

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

      The assist will almost certainly be removed, relax.

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

        Frankie?

  6. fedolefan
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Own no one in this game. Ideally Long and Afobe score in a 1-1.

  7. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Would it be better that FPL don't add contentious goals/assist until sure, rather than add and take away?

    I'm sure that's what they used to do? Certainly for peno assists?

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

      And don't even start me on that twitter feed...

    2. Pep bites Kun
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Nah it would take away from the game. If it has to be corrected afterwards then it's not perfect, but I can live with it.

  8. Alan_T
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    I need a defender for 31, 33, 34.

    Who will score most points?

    A) Matip - BOU, wba, CPL
    B) Koscielny - WHM, mid, LEI
    C) Holebas - WBA, SWA, hul
    D) other

    1. Camp No No
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      I like Matip, certainly over the others.

    2. Differential C (Mark)
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Koscielny

    3. FFSbet.com
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Kos

  9. Bring the Cavalry
    • 9 Years

    Britos first sub coming in for walker today is the luckiest thing to happen to me in fpl, nice 15pts

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights

      Well done.

    2. RoysCallerAnne

      Lovely 🙂

    3. Bring the Cavalry

      Thanks guys!

    4. Pep bites Kun

      🙂 Nice one!

  10. Captain Blanks
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    How did Coutinho and Origi look for Liverpool earlier? Origi at 6.1 could be good value if Mane is out long term

    1. Captain Blanks
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      How bad did the Mane injury look as well? (Mane owner)

      1. Differential C (Mark)
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Mane's injury looks rather serious

      2. Pasqualinho
        • 17 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Not too dissimilar to Kane's - but it all really depends on whether there was ligament damage. Even if he's lucky, though - midweek looks to be a doubt.

    2. Crystal Ball
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Wouldn't mess around with origi

    3. Numb
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Coutinho was very good, MOTM. Origi looked sharp.

  11. Foozeball
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    bottomed repost

    Transferring out Mane and Siggy for Sanchez and Zaha would leave me with 0 ITB. I definitely do not want to be priced out. Pull the trigger tonight?

    1. Crystal Ball
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Yeah go for it!

    2. Differential C (Mark)
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Yup

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

      Mane might drop if there's a firesale, but the other 3 are going nowhere price-wise. You could do one of them to Zaha tonight just to be sure and then wait to see if Sanchez gets through his match tomorrow.

  12. Crystal Ball
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Mane, Antonio & Costa to Ibra Sanchez & Zaha for -8

    No brainer??

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

      Save the Costa move

      1. Crystal Ball
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Could do but he's been pissing me right off!

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

          good. use your aggressive feelings. let the hate flow through you... 😛

    Yay or Nay?

      I'd say so

    Tadic losing BPS like they're going out of fashion.

  16. Jay_

    Tadic so involved. Wish I had him rather than JWP

    1. Jazz!
      • 11 Years

      He costs significantly more 🙂

        9 years, 3 months ago

        I guess it get an extra 6 points?

        Will that result in green or red arrow?

      Brunt bro. He is still a defender

    7. fedolefan
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Walker played. Who said he didn't?

      1. Camp No No
        • 12 Years

        The reality.

    1. Differential C (Mark)

      His accuracy sucks, but u can't fault his work rate

    how does kun mane snoddy to origi alexis alli for minus 4 sound? good huh?

    1. Numb

      Decent

    2. Differential C (Mark)
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Tis alright. There are worse choices

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

    That Costa blank is one of the best of the season as a none owner!

    1. Dr. Mantis Toboggan
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      So sweet. Even the low Haz score is enjoyable.

    2. Pocky
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Who did you capt Rainer??

  21. Syd.
    • 17 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Was Walker rested today?

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

      Yes for his 15 pointer midweek

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

      Looked like.

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

      Probably. Also was a convenient time to rest Walker because Trippier's skillset is more suitable for an opponent like Burnley, namely his crossing ability

  22. For Fuchs Sake
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Mane to Alli, already have Eriksen?

    1. Differential C (Mark)
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Mane to Coutinho is the way to go

      1. For Fuchs Sake
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Will Cout be as effective without Mane ?

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

      Alli or Sanchez look to be the popular choices

    3. Seany A
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Thinking the same myself

  23. Jet5605
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Carroll's 3 BAPS and Vardy's 2 are now down to 1 apiece. Dogsh1t

    1. JÆKS ⭐
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Carroll 3 baps would be a bit too much though 😀

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

      Both rightly so.

    3. Aiden Mcgeady 😆
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Eriksen still has 3 bps...

      1. Camp No No
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Rightly so. 🙂

  24. Differential C (Mark)
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    that moment when you want Saints to win, but have King and Smith 🙁

    1. Camp No No
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      3-2 with King and Smith assisting each other's goals is what you're hoping for.

      1. Differential C (Mark)
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Tis only a dream! Go Saints !

  25. Ben the Mee
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Have Gabbi and Mane. Fires everywhere and no WC to douse them with.

    Easy Mane to san(c)hez for me

    Gives me a mid of

    Allen aside that's the perfect mid going forward

    1. Rainer

      Did Mannone start?

      1. Sims
        • 9 Years

        No

        Good thing I had foster to back him up

        1. Sims

    1. Differential C (Mark)

      Couts

    2. Ben the Mee
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Trying to decide the same. Why does Couts always get pulled early? Frustrating from a fpl point of view

  29. Olee
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Mane and Snodgrass -> Sanchez + Ward-Prowse for -4 look ok?

    1. Speédy
      • 9 Years

      yup

  30. Sims

    2. Pasqualinho

      Nope. You're just one of the many who doesn't acknowledge it when you do. So am I, if it helps.

    3. JÆKS ⭐
