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.

    6. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      43 with Sanchez,Siggy,Mawson to play

    7. The Big Fella
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Horrendous. 25 with Sigurdsson, Llorente and Sanchez (captain) to play. I need two high scoring games tomorrow.

  2. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Aargh, Yoshi, Britos both on bench....Please Mawson DO NOT start tomorrow

  3. Rainer

    Everton defender sellers all happy 🙂

    1. nkhoughton
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      I have Pennington on the bench 🙁

    2. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      I only had one and I was forced to sell him due to injury

    3. Yank Revolution
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Sold Baines for a hit (brought in Davies)...happy.

  4. F4L
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Where's Penaldo when you need him?

  5. Sandy Ravage
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    decent game, 0-0 not a bad result with Yoshida coming on for Walker

    1. Pocky
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Same here, had Son come in for Deeney too so riding my luck this GW...I'll take it.

  6. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years

    BREAKING: Arter's penalty collides with Zaza's in space.

    1. Differentiator
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Collides with Sissoko's brain, also in space

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

      Along with Fabregas' ceiling for the City game.

      1. Lawrø
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        😆

  7. Fred the Red
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Mane to Coutinho straight swap?

    Already have Firmino

    1. Differentiator
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Prefer sterling

    2. nkhoughton
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      If you own a spurs mid and Alexis then sure

      1. Fred the Red
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Have neither, so Alli?

        Also, what's with the new interest in Alexis? Arsenal have been crap and he's been throwing tantrums left and right.

        1. rivercityransom
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          look at his point history

  8. The Big Fella
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    So the Eriksen assist is STILL an assist.

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      An hour left to be changed.

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

        Not fancy emailing them TM? 😉

    2. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Let's hope so

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

        Hahaha I have Alli and all my rivals have Eriksen. I want it gone!

    3. Jude Rooney
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Not seen it - will he lose it?

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

        If all is fair in the world, yes. As Mark has him in his team, likely not 😉

        1. Jude Rooney
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Not sure if that impacts but if it does it is a joke

  9. Ibralicious
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Mané's price set to fall tonight?

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

      Tomorrow I believe

    2. Bun Rab
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Very possibly.

    3. FPL Pillars
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Close but doubt it will tonight, maybe tomorrow... depends how quick people get rid

    4. Giovanni Giorgio
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      People need to chill

      1. GE
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Sell sell 🙂 can't afford Sanchez with a price drop. Should I do it tonight?

  10. Pique boo
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    So i bench Smith and start Alonso and captained Costa over Coutinho. Do I deserve manager of the month so far?

    1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      You was always going to bench smith over Alonso.

      1. Jude Rooney
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Exactly - Alonso home to Palace era let me think

      2. Pique boo
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        If my time machine worked I would have known

  11. FPL Pillars
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Coleman & Mane out Sanchez and Bavies in for -4, good move right?

    Have Ali Firmino Siggy and King

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Depends on tomorrow.

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        but great if Sanchez is available.

      2. FPL Pillars
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        I can afford to wait until then yes

    2. Bun Rab
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      All good.

    3. BadgersBoys
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Should pay off

  12. Weasel51
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Annoyed at that pen!

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years

      I've already lost sleep over it

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

    Spurs to win the league. Heard it here last

    1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 16 Years

      1. F4L
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

  14. mojoindojo
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Mane Coleman to Sanchez Ake for a hit? Got the exact funds.

    Rest of defence is Alonso Mawson Robertson Valencia.

    1. Pique boo
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Ake?

    2. BadgersBoys
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Why Ake?

      1. mojoindojo
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Have 3.8 for a def

    3. Bun Rab
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Did not realise Ake 3.8. Go ferret.

    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Jaku Grant
    Walker Alonso Valencia Evans Amat
    Mane* Lanzini King Siggy Deroon
    Aguero Costa Lukaku
    1ft 1.3 itb

    A. Mane to Alli for free
    B. Mane to Sanchez for free
    C. Kun+Mane+Deroon to gabbiadini/Barnes + alli + Sanchez for -8

    1. Rex Lapis
      • 11 Years

  16. Giovanni Giorgio

    Scorecheck?
    37 including bonuses. Aguero and Siggy left.
    Around average, right?

    1. Sandy Ravage
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Decent. around 46 with Siggy(c), Sanchez & Llorente to come

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Thereabouts.

    3. Pique boo
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      39 with Mawson Siggy Sterling

    4. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Above Average...likely 26

    5. Frank Koscielny
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      47, Siggy and Sanchez left

  17. Speédy
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    anybody managed to NOT bench any returns??

    1. nkhoughton
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Nope haha

    2. FPL Pillars
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      3,3,2,0

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

      With Ake and Amat, it's pretty easy for me never to bench returns. It's also easy for me to get only two defenders playing when Walker doesn't feature 🙂

  18. GXNG
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Boruc and Robertson on the bench. Defoe (C). Still on 41 points. Could've been so much more

  19. Optimus.

  23. sunzip14
    • 9 Years

    Baines ahead of Yoshida, they said!!!

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      yes, blame all ure failings on other; that's an arsenal mentality right there

    2. Eze Really?
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Moved Baines out for Valencia, only to find Coleman injured. Coleman to Bavies. all ends well!
      Annoyed King taken off and lost the penalty chance.
      Mane out and my captain.

      1. sunzip14
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Do have Valencia, Vert and Mane + Coutinho but Captained Costa and Baines ahead of Yoshida. Bitter sweet !

        1. Eze Really?
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

    What to do with Defoe? Sunderland just can't score.

    1. Gucci Mane.
      • 9 Years

  30. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    I think the only way Mark can maintain his cred is by convincing FPL that it wasn't an assist even though he owns Eriksen 😉
