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.

    The best forward option to 8.5 for gw31?

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 12 days ago

      I'd go for fodder or Carroll & invest in D/M

      2. philosopherking
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 12 days ago

        That's a lot of options I agree. All possible alternatives, though.
        Now that the joke's out of the way, would appreciate some help.

      G if you still have your WC, otherwise, J.

      1. philosopherking
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 12 days ago

        Have WC, Siggy has Spurs up next though

        1. the snazzy viking
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 12 days ago

          Hmm.... but Spurs are not at home though so I wouldn't put it past Swansea to get a goal, and with Sigurdsson having over 50% involvement in their goals and being on pens, I still think Siggy is a good option.

          1. philosopherking
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 12 days ago

            Worth a shot I guess and faces leaky West Ham and Watford after that. Thanks

        Thanks TM

    3. For Fuchs Sake
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 12 days ago

      No, just get rid of Mane

      1. zeepeee
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 12 days ago

        Thats for sure but i think i need to transfer in a defender too. Current 5 aint looking good for gw31

    4. JÆKS ⭐
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 12 days ago

      Why the last move?

      1. zeepeee
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 12 days ago

        Def is now
        Olsson, mawson, valencia, baines, yoshida.

        Swansea is playing spurs next so thinking of switching olsson to robertson/maguire and field either one with valencia and yoshida. What do you think?

        1. JÆKS ⭐
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 12 days ago

          Taking a hit for a hull defender seems madness, he'll need a cs just to break even, and considering it's Hull, that might not be your best bet. I'd play Baines

          1. zeepeee
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 12 days ago

            That is true, hmmm i think i will wait and see then. Thanks for advice!

  7. F4L
    • 11 Years

      1. F4L
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 12 days ago

        hmm not too sure. Spain's mids are all getting old

  8. For Fuchs Sake
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 12 days ago

    Can do Mane to Sanchez before Tuesday, even if he drops tonight, Phew!!

  9. Feloh
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 12 days ago

    43 after ericksen's assist has been snatched....ouch Sanchez(c) left to play...... am pissed off.

    1. Lav
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 12 days ago

      Still a good score for now

    2. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 12 days ago

      Why do people always complicate his name?! It's ERIKSEN. Straightforward.

      1. dark91
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 12 days ago

        This 😀
        Sometimes i even see Erikson !!

    3. MTPockets
        9 years, 12 days ago

        Oh they took it away? Good

    4. BEEZUS
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 12 days ago

      Played AOA and deeney didn't play. Will first sub come in?

      1. Big_Bear
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 12 days ago

        Yes, same for me - Baines 1 point. I dont know why I didnt have Brunt ahead of him!

      2. Sweetboi
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 12 days ago

        Yep

      3. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights

        yes

    5. Lav
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 12 days ago

      Now I am at 31 (34 on bps) + Robertsons 10 on bench for 44.

      Anyway to calculate my rank tonight with my score of 44 and not 34?

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 12 days ago

        Add 10?

        1. Lav
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 12 days ago

          Right but where will that have me GW rank wise + OR? Do I have to scroll through scores?

    6. F4L
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 12 days ago

      Coutinho you beauty! Lovely return from him

    7. Big_Bear
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 12 days ago

      In the FFS cup are hits taken into account (so you have to minus those points off the score)?

      Which is stronger Siggy & Aguero vs Sanchez and Llorente? Currently tied on 35 points.......

      1. Annie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 12 days ago

        ofc

      2. A.T
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 12 days ago

        Yes

      3. dark91
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 12 days ago

        To answer your 2nd question, i would say the 1st pair edges it but very close still

        1. Big_Bear
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 12 days ago

          Cheers all as I can't add up and haven't taken hits into account its

          Me: 4 Points + Sanchez + Llorente
          Opp: Siggy + Aguero.

          I guess I'm slight favourite as I've got points in hand. What's the tie breaker if you finish level?

          1. dark91
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 12 days ago

            Overall rank is the tie breaker

    8. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 12 days ago

      Got a Swansea triple up tomorrow - desperate or what.

      1. F4L
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 12 days ago

        genius, Llorente and Siggy here myself

      2. For Fuchs Sake
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 12 days ago

        Me too! It is against Boro TBF! Hopefully a good result!

      3. zeepeee
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 12 days ago

        Same here. Banging on a clean sheet and siggy goal

    9. the snazzy viking
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 12 days ago

      So, Mane + Aguero -> Sanchez + Ibra sound good?

      1. the snazzy viking
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 12 days ago

        for a hit

      2. Chris_White
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 12 days ago

        What I'm doing, so hopefully

        1. Flynny
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 12 days ago

          Maybe keep Kun depending on tomo...

          He has some Hull at home in 2 weeks

      3. HVT
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 12 days ago

        Short 1m here 🙁

      4. JÆKS ⭐
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 12 days ago

        If you don't have enough money for just the Sanchez move, yes

      5. the snazzy viking
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 12 days ago

          ewwww no plz

    13. FFPro
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 12 days ago

      Eriksen although technically not an assist due to it brushing the head of the Burnley defender doesn't make it any less frustrating after the Brunt saga.

      Cannot catch a break this season

      1. JÆKS ⭐
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 12 days ago

        I was also a Brunt owner and felt very unlucky, but this just should never have been given in the first place. Even if it didn't touch 2 defenders on it's way, the ball was not heading towards Dier, so not an assist according to the rules.

        1. FFPro
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 12 days ago

          Dier made a run then checked it, at the time of taking the corner Dier looks to have been the "intended" target and may have gotten close to it. Irrelevant though - the little flick off the defender's hair killed it in it's tracks.

          1. JÆKS ⭐
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 12 days ago

            Mark said earlier that the assist was under review because Dier wasn't the intended target though 😀

      Eriksen,Alli,Sanchez,Sigurdsson,(Coquelin)
      Vardy,Lukaku,Gabbiadini

        Would you play any of these 3;

        Mustafi (WHM), Yoshida (CPL), Negredo (hul)

        Over any of this lot?

        Alonso (MNC), Siggy (TOT), Lukaku (mnu)

        1. Davido989
          • 15 Years

        2. Jazz!
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 12 days ago

          Yoshi over Alonso is what I'm currently on. I fancy Negredo but let's see how Boro do tomorrow first.

          Foster/Jaku owner here.
          Always starting the lowest scoring one since GW23.
          I have tried doing the opposite of what I think would be right, didn't work.

          Best third striker to get (have Kun& Lukaku)? Can't be Llorente

          A. Vardy (has 4 aways after SUN)
          B. Gabbiadini (injury doubt)
          C. Defoe (plays for SUN)
          D. Others?

            Mané looks a bit too keen 😉

              Might have to photoshop it to bring them closer and zoom in. Cba though.

          25 with Aguero, Sterling, Mawson & Siggy (C) left.
          Feels bad for some strange reason.

              It's not, yet. 22 with Siggy, Sane, Sanchez, Llorente, Aguero (c) here.

            Costa owners shifting to Ibra?

              I am thinking that. DGW coming & ManU will be keen to get goals & he is well rested

            Lots getting rid of Mané. Isn't best to find out if he's definitely out first. Bournemouth at home next!
