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.

    • Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 13 days ago

      That will Teach the t*** to take king off

      Sharpton defence owners lucky day today

      1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …

        Shampton

    • Pique boo
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 13 days ago

      According to my calculations that was a terrible penalty

    • Fred54
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 13 days ago

      Harry Arter at least aim for the goal next time.

    • Del Griffith
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 13 days ago

      Wow, what a pen kick that was. Reports are in that the ball is at 30,000 feet and still rising 🙂

      1. Jay_
          9 years, 13 days ago

          Apparently it's landed in Gibraltar and Spain won't give it back

        • Squashed
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 13 days ago

          Haha

      2. Mo Mané No Problems
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 13 days ago

        Mane and Costa ---> Sanchez and a forward for a -4 hit?
        8.7M available for forward. Other forwards are Lukaku and Carroll

      3. afcblegend
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 13 days ago

        Tin foil hat time, but I swear the groundsmen must be damaging the spot at half time or something. That doesn't happen when people are taking free kicks.

        1. afcblegend
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 13 days ago

          Exact same thing happened to Kane in the second half at Southampton

      4. Feloh

        mane to coutinho for midweek game against Bournemouth, yay or nay

      5. trinzoo
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 13 days ago

        Such a bad luck with Mane 🙁

        Pickford / Randolph
        Alonso / Baines / Davies / Holebas / Pieters
        Sanchez / Mane / Siggy / Pedro / Carroll
        Kun / Kaku / Llorente

        1FT, 0.3 ITB

        Mane to >

        A) Cout
        B) Alli
        C) sth else ?

        I really want both...

        Glad I didn't sell Coutinho for Tadic..Thank you Coleman and big up to Valencia for being an able substitute

      7. Numb
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 13 days ago

        Best replacement for Tadic up to 7.0?

        1. Fred54
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 13 days ago

        2. F4L
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 13 days ago

        3. Eden Hazardous
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 13 days ago

          Zaha , assume you already have Fabregas

          1. Numb
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 13 days ago

            I don't have him yet

            1. Eden Hazardous
              • 11 Years
              9 years, 13 days ago

              Look no one is recommending Fabregas cos it is a no brainer if you don't own the Fantasy Gold that is Cesc

              1. Old Schoolᴼˢ “disa…
                • 14 Years
                9 years, 13 days ago

                Yeah I'm looking at either Siggy or Mane out for Fab... probably Mane as he's injured

              2. Numb
                • 11 Years
                9 years, 13 days ago

            • 14 Years
            9 years, 13 days ago

          Can't believe it, everyone said this game would be a goalfest!

          1. Lawrø
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 13 days ago

            The cool kids bought Southampton defenders especially for it 😎

            *cue Bournemouth goal*

      11. Differentiator
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 13 days ago

        It's well known that Southampton heavily water the opponents' penalty spot at half time, and slightly kick up the turf around the spot.

        Admitted by Van Dijk previously.... smart folk tbh.

        1. Royal5
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 13 days ago

          This. How can they get away with this??
