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.

    7. The Big Fella
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 13 days 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, 13 days ago

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

  3. Rainer

    Everton defender sellers all happy 🙂

    1. nkhoughton
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 13 days ago

      I have Pennington on the bench 🙁

    2. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 13 days ago

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

    3. Yank Revolution
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 13 days ago

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

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

    Where's Penaldo when you need him?

  5. Sandy Ravage
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 13 days ago

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

    1. Pocky
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 13 days 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

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

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

      Collides with Sissoko's brain, also in space

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 13 days ago

      Along with Fabregas' ceiling for the City game.

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

        😆

  7. Fred the Red
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 13 days ago

    Mane to Coutinho straight swap?

    Already have Firmino

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

      Prefer sterling

    2. nkhoughton
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 13 days ago

      If you own a spurs mid and Alexis then sure

      1. Fred the Red
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 13 days 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, 13 days ago

          look at his point history

  8. The Big Fella
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 13 days ago

    So the Eriksen assist is STILL an assist.

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 13 days ago

      An hour left to be changed.

      1. The Big Fella
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 13 days ago

        Not fancy emailing them TM? 😉

    2. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 13 days ago

      Let's hope so

      1. The Big Fella
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 13 days ago

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

    3. Jude Rooney
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 13 days ago

      Not seen it - will he lose it?

      1. The Big Fella
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 13 days 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, 13 days ago

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

  9. Ibralicious
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 13 days ago

    Mané's price set to fall tonight?

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

      Tomorrow I believe

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

      Very possibly.

    3. FPL Pillars
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 13 days ago

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

    4. Giovanni Giorgio
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 13 days ago

      People need to chill

      1. GE
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 13 days ago

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

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

      You was always going to bench smith over Alonso.

      1. Jude Rooney
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 13 days ago

        Exactly - Alonso home to Palace era let me think

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

        If my time machine worked I would have known

  11. FPL Pillars
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 13 days ago

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

    Have Ali Firmino Siggy and King

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 13 days ago

      Depends on tomorrow.

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 13 days ago

        but great if Sanchez is available.

      2. FPL Pillars
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 13 days ago

        I can afford to wait until then yes

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

      All good.

    3. BadgersBoys
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 13 days ago

      Should pay off

  12. Weasel51
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 13 days ago

    Annoyed at that pen!

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

      I've already lost sleep over it

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

    Spurs to win the league. Heard it here last

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

    2. Pique boo
      • 9 Years

      1. F4L

  14. mojoindojo
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 13 days 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, 13 days ago

      Ake?

    2. BadgersBoys
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 13 days ago

      Why Ake?

      1. mojoindojo
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 13 days ago

        Have 3.8 for a def

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

      Did not realise Ake 3.8. Go ferret.

  15. Whats the Mata?

    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

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

    1. Sandy Ravage
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 13 days ago

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

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 13 days ago

      Thereabouts.

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

      39 with Mawson Siggy Sterling

    4. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 13 days ago

      Above Average...likely 26

    5. Frank Koscielny
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 13 days ago

      47, Siggy and Sanchez left

  17. Speédy
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 13 days ago

    anybody managed to NOT bench any returns??

    1. nkhoughton
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 13 days ago

      Nope haha

    2. FPL Pillars
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 13 days ago

      3,3,2,0

    3. BananaNose Maldonado
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 13 days 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, 13 days ago

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

  19. Optimus.

    Arter's peno finally comes to rest outside the grounds..

  23. sunzip14
    • 9 Years

    Baines ahead of Yoshida, they said!!!

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

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

    2. Eze Really?
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 13 days 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, 13 days ago

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

        1. Eze Really?
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 13 days ago

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

    1. Gucci Mane.
      • 9 Years

  30. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 13 days 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 😉
