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.

    is Paul pogba a good differential on Tuesday????

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

      No

      (And I think he's injured?)

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

      Injured mate

    3. WE GO FOR IT
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      If you want a differential from united, it has to be Mkhi/Martial. Wouldn't fancy them to score a lot though!

  2. Lecky Legs FC
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    23 points with Aguero,Mawson,Llorente,Sanchez & Siggy (C) left to play optimistic for a good finish but not sure that it will happen.

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

      Hope you smash it. Got the same 5.

      1. Lecky Legs FC
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Is right TM here's to both of us tomorrow mate who did you captain?

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

          Same. Nearly went Aguero.

          1. Lecky Legs FC
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 2 months ago

            Great and yeah I had Kun as (VC) good minds think alike 😉

  3. Morgs
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Mane will certainly miss the mid week game I'm guessing? Therefore a -4 for Mane to Sanchez seem reasonable?

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

      Yep. Wait for Sanchez tomorrow though.

  4. jamie1972
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Any early news on Mane?

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

      He hurt

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

    PSG to win the champions league! Oh wait...

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

      Fulham jokes incoming...

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

        ...we wont be a joke when we're destroying the prem next season

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

          Flat out beating the team in last.

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

            Underestimate the mighty Rotherham at your peril 😉

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

              No Dempsey, no Fulham.

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

                you mean no Bobby Z, no Fulham

  6. Halftime
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    I see they took the assist off Ericsson, must check it out later on MOTD

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

    I feel I don't need 2 Swansea players. I have Sigurdsson and Llorente. Which should I get rid of and for who? I think Llorente is the obvious choice but who for? No strikers in that price range atm. Sigurdsson means I could get in Fabregas or Sane or a Liverpool mid.

    Help!

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

      Llorente to Gabbiadini once fit is what I'm planning

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

        I was thinking this too but when is he back?

  8. Ligdon
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    What happens if you draw in the cup ?

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

      Rank wins.

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

        Yay !

    2. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Extra time and pens.

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

        Not many pen takers, worried now 😉

    3. Hooky
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Golden goal

  9. Mozart_s Balls
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Do you think Mane will in price tonight? He's on 85,2 % atm.

    Have exact $$ to do Mane & Aguero => Sanchez & Ibra and can't afford a pricedrop.

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

      Very likely.

    2. Vlad Tepes
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Ye he will prolly drop

    3. Sweetboi
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Do it tonight. Due to drop.

    4. Mozart_s Balls
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Very risky but i guess it has to be done. Sanchez can't get injured they say.

  10. mbrewer94
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Assuming I do Mane > Sanchez I'll have this team for midweek with 2.7 ITB. I'm WC'ing in 32, is anything worth a 1 week -4?

    Jakupovic
    Robertson - Bertrand - Alonso
    Sanchez - Mahrez - Pedro - Sigurdsson
    Lukaku - Vardy - Llorente

    Pickford - Brunt - Baines - T. Carroll

    Currently thinking Siggy to Hazard or T.Carroll to Son (bench Llorente)

    Thoughts would be appreciated?

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

      No, looking good.

  11. william prunier
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    OK fellas, two options as I desperately need Sanchez & Ibra.

    A = triple transfer (- 8) Antonio, Kun & Costa to Sanchez, Ibra & Carrol/Deeney

    B = Wild Card. As above plus Mcauley & Funes Mori to Holgate & Stephens/Yoshida. Which allows funds to upgrade both Lukaku & Davies to Rose & Kane further down the road.

    Voting commences in ...3,2,1

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

      I'd save WC for DGW

      1. william prunier
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Thanks, anyone else?

        1. ladsofbunch
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Thinking wc this week as well.

  12. Jet5605
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Planning to bring in Alli and Cout over the next two weeks for Mane and Phillips. Who should I bring in first?

    A - Alli (swa)
    B - Cout (BOU)

    Spurs possibly less likely to get a pen away from home and Cout has a home game.

    1. Smoky Johnson
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Firmino the unsung hero? Always a great pick when playing false 9 with Coutinho.

      1. Jet5605
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Cout on set pieces and an eye for goal swings it.

  13. Chucky
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Who wins this all important cup tie??
    Me: Sanchez(C),Aguero Mawson
    Him: Llorente,stones, 15 points

    Please say you 🙁

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

      will be close

    2. Sweetboi
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      I think you might just edge it.

  15. F4L

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

      How about now?

      1. F4L
        • 11 Years

        Wow. Look at that team value. 109.6 ?!

    4. Sweetboi
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Anything worth a hit?

      Jakupovic
      Maguire - Davies - Valencia - Alonso
      Sterling - Coutinho - Sanchez (C) - King
      Vardy - Lukaku

      Heaton - Carroll - Barkley - Amat

      A. Tadic
      B. Pedro

    6. _Ninja_
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Best move here?

      A. Mane -> Coutinho
      B. Mane/Llorente -> DeRoon/Ibra

      Heaton
      Alonso / Walker / Yoshida
      Sanchez / Mane / Alli / Siggy
      Costa / Lukaku / Llorente

      Pickford / King / Baines / Amat

      Cheers

      1. the snazzy viking
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        I had Coutinho for this week although I'm quite certain that without Mane he will be less effective, who knows though.

        Probably B, but if you have spare money in the bank then go for someone like Forshaw instead

        1. _Ninja_
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Cheers, unfortunately B leaves 0.0

    7. n-doggg
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Took a hit to get out coutinho and keep mane. Awesome.

      Straight swap of mane to cout tonight?

      Current team:

      Foster/Pickford
      Alonso, Valencia, yoshi, mee, pieters
      Sanchez, mane, Alli, Siggy, de roon
      Lukaku, Vardy, Carroll

      6. Fred54
        • 11 Years

        Probably. Especially since I need 9 points from Llorente to defeat my cup oppo.

      7. DA Minnion (Former great)
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        I would love to see Llorente get a hatrick tomorrow.

      1. HVT

    11. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Are these transfers worth -8 to get Sanchez and Walker for next week leaving 1.9 in bank to play with? If not what moves would you make?

      Mane to Sanchez
      Coleman to Walker
      Costa to Origi

      Squad would be
      Pickford Jakupovic
      Walker Valencia Alonso Yoshida Mawson
      Sanchez Alli Siggy King Eriksen
      Lukaku Vardy Origi

    12. HVT

    13. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      I predicted 13 for coutihno during the week. Love it when a plan comes together. Pity I didn't captain him though.

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

        I benched him for FM.

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

        I kept him, I feel smuggish

    14. Sonic Huth
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      How was Tadic today?

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

      Davies and Alli should have scored today...just sayin'

    16. Moses _H
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Why did Eriksen lose the assist?

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

        2 Burnley players touched it.

      2. Fred54
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        It wasn't even close to being a legit assist. Owner here.

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

      Ok thanks. Not given up hope of a reasonable rank i was around 1 million gw20.
