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.

        Ban, not allowed to joke, can be considered bullying 🙂

      What was that? Missed it ... link?

  4. Ha.

    9 years, 14 days ago

    Wish Gabbi was playing 🙁

  5. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 14 days ago

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

    1. Alan_T
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 14 days ago

      🙂

    2. Numb
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 14 days ago

      The assist will almost certainly be removed, relax.

      1. Hooky
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 14 days ago

        Frankie?

  6. fedolefan
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 14 days ago

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

  7. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 14 days 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, 14 days ago

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

    2. Pep bites Kun
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 14 days 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, 14 days 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, 14 days ago

      I like Matip, certainly over the others.

    2. Differential C (Mark)
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 14 days ago

      Koscielny

    3. FFSbet.com

      Kos

  9. Bring the Cavalry

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

      🙂 Nice one!

  10. Captain Blanks
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 14 days 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, 14 days ago

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

      1. Differential C (Mark)
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 14 days ago

        Mane's injury looks rather serious

      2. Pasqualinho
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 14 days 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, 14 days ago

      Wouldn't mess around with origi

    3. Numb
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 14 days ago

      Coutinho was very good, MOTM. Origi looked sharp.

  11. Foozeball
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 14 days 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, 14 days ago

      Yeah go for it!

    2. Differential C (Mark)
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 14 days ago

      Yup

    3. Pasqualinho
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 14 days 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, 14 days ago

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

    No brainer??

    1. Ha.
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 14 days ago

      Save the Costa move

      1. Crystal Ball
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 14 days ago

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

    • Rainer

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

        So sweet. Even the low Haz score is enjoyable.

        Who did you capt Rainer??

    • Syd.
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 14 days ago

      Was Walker rested today?

      1. Sims
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 14 days ago

        Yes for his 15 pointer midweek

      2. CloudSky
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 14 days ago

        Looked like.

      3. Foozeball
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 14 days 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

    • For Fuchs Sake

      Mane to Alli, already have Eriksen?

      1. Differential C (Mark)
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 14 days ago

        Mane to Coutinho is the way to go

        1. For Fuchs Sake
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 14 days ago

          Will Cout be as effective without Mane ?

      2. Numb
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 14 days ago

        Alli or Sanchez look to be the popular choices

        Carroll 3 baps would be a bit too much though 😀

      2. Rainer
