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.

    Who wins:

    A) Fer, Sterling, 7 points
    B) Aguero (c) and Siggy

    1. Gucci Mane.
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 14 days ago

      B

    How bad was the Mane injury was working and have only just checked fpl today?

    1. Sweetboi
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 14 days ago

      Didn't look good, tried to walk but kept falling over. Missing Bournemouth for sure.

      1. Bruno Bruno!!
        • 10 Years

        Thanks

      Bad enough to sell.

        • 10 Years
        9 years, 14 days ago

        Thanks TM

      2. Team Bobcat

        In a nutshell 🙂

    3. william prunier
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 14 days ago

      I'd guess he doesn't start the next 2

      1. Bruno Bruno!!
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 14 days ago

        Thanks

    4. Donhush
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 14 days ago

      It looked bad but Mane is a different kinda human being

      1. Bruno Bruno!!
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 14 days ago

        Thanks

      2. Sergeant Garcia
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 14 days ago

        That kind where Alexis comes from?

        1. Donhush
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 14 days ago

          Haha yea. You ever see that one awkward tackle on Mane this season that was guaranteed to be a whiplash? Mane gets up seconds later like nothing happened.

    5. Team Bobcat
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 14 days ago

      He got his foot trapped under the weight of his body in a tackle/fall.

      He didn't make a meal or issue of it. He just sat up waiting to be strechered off. He didn't give away much by his expressions but neither did VVD...

      I had him and have since sold him. Few weeks at least I guess

      1. Bruno Bruno!!
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 14 days ago

        Thanks

  3. WE GO FOR IT
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 14 days ago

    Pick one:

    A. Mane and Kun -> Alli/Eriksen and Ibra (-4)
    B. Mane and Kun -> Sanchez and Vardy. (Coutinho, Vardy -> 7.6 , Ibra in GW32) (-4)
    C. Mane -> Alli/Eriksen

    1. Black Panther
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 14 days ago

      I'm thinking of just doing Mane ➡️ Alli and keeping Aguero. He'd be my captain in GW32 Hull (H).

      1. WE GO FOR IT
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 14 days ago

        Cheers!

  4. Team Bobcat
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 14 days ago

    Who would you ditch for sanchez
    1ft. 6.2itb

    King Siggy Pedro.

    Team as follows:

    Jaku Valdes
    Alonso Fuchs Walker Olsson Brunt
    Cout Siggy King Pedro Firmino
    Lukaku Vardy Llorente

    Is there any other thing I need to concentrate on 1st besides Sanchez. Spurs obviously, but how do I get one in and fir a hit!? Open to suggestions

    1. 1966 was a great year for E…
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 14 days ago

      Pedro to Sanchez.

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

      Probably ditch King for Sanchez if u can do that.

      Not sure u need 2 liv mids. Lose Firmino for Alli/Erikssen

    3. Team Bobcat
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 14 days ago

      Cheersguys

  5. Sanchit
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 14 days ago

    Will mane drop tonight?

    1. william prunier
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 14 days ago

      Will be close

    2. Sweetboi
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 14 days ago

      Yes

    3. Gucci Mane.
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 14 days ago

      Likely

    4. AYEW KI-EDEN MEE
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 14 days ago

      Yes but if you're planning on trading him for Sanchez i'd wait until after Arsenal play tomorrow

    5. Yank Revolution
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 14 days ago

      His NTI is picking up pace, it will be very close. If funds are an issue, make your Mane move now.

      1. Yank Revolution
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 14 days ago

        Make that NTO (Out)

  6. STONEROSES
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 14 days ago

    Currently have:
    Heaton, Pickford
    Alonso Williams McAuley Holebas Amat
    Siggy Alli King Mané Carroll
    Lukaku Costa Kun

    Best moves?

    A. Costa, Mane, Williams -> Vardy, Sanchez, Davies

    Or

    B. Costa, Mane, T Carroll -> Gestede, Coutinho, Sanchez

    1. Gucci Mane.
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 14 days ago

      A

  7. Donhush
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 14 days ago

    I slept off watching the SOT V BOU game. King wasn't on the pitch when they got awarded the penalty right? You reckon he would have taken it if he was?

    1. Sweetboi
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 14 days ago

      If he was on the pitch he would've taken it, and scored.

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

        Not sure about that. He missed one, then Afobe one and now Arter one
        Thinking Daniels takes the next one

    2. 1966 was a great year for E…
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 14 days ago

      He'd been subbed. I have no idea why Daniels doesn't take them.

      1. Alan_T
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 14 days ago

        This is the baffling thing!

  8. LewanGOALski
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 14 days ago

    Alonso & Mane ➡ up to 5m Defender & Sanchez for 2 FTs?

    How do you guys like it?

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 14 days ago

      Yes.

    2. Donhush
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 14 days ago

      Davies and Sanchez.

      Davies had a clear chance of scoring today too

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

      Id like it more if you did it tomorrow-- a Sanchez injury would crush you and anyone else who brings him in 'early'.

    4. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 14 days ago

      do it

  9. Sweetboi
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 14 days ago

    Mane + Aguero > Sanchez + Vardy?

    1. william prunier
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 14 days ago

      Not enuf for Ibra?

      1. Sweetboi
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 14 days ago

        Just off sadly.

    2. william prunier
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 14 days ago

      In short, yes

    3. Gucci Mane.
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 14 days ago

      Go for it

  10. Alan_T
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 14 days ago

    Best defender for 31, 33 and 34?

    A) Matip - BOU, wba, CPL
    B) Koscielny - WHM, mid, LEI
    C) Holebas - WBA, SWA, hul

    1. william prunier
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 14 days ago

      C although could be suspended by then!
      Lovren over Matip?

    2. Gucci Mane.
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 14 days ago

      B if you can afford it. C is punty.

  11. F4L
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 14 days ago

    ADM golasoooooo. Looks on fire tonight

  12. Sonic Huth
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 14 days ago

    Antonio -Zaha final?

    Rest of the mid :
    Siggy-Mane*(Sanchez gets in)-King-Alli

    1. Gucci Mane.
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 14 days ago

      Do it.

  13. Sp0rting
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 14 days ago

    Robertson boners!

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 14 days ago

      I beg your pardon, sir!

      1. Sp0rting
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 14 days ago

        What are the Rangers playing at this season, sir?

        1. Nomar
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 14 days ago

          Mid table mediocrity, which is fine by me.

          1. Sp0rting
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 14 days ago

            For shame, sir!

            Next year?

  14. aleksios
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 14 days ago

    Which one would you do for a hit?
    a) Firm to Alli
    b) Costa to Zlatan
    c) no hit

    1. Gucci Mane.
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 14 days ago

      C

    2. n-doggg
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 14 days ago

      A if anything but C

      1. Alan_T
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 14 days ago

        Why ditch Firm before Bournemouth at home?

    3. Whats the Huth
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 14 days ago

      Non

  15. Bruno Bruno!!
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 14 days ago

    Any chance sterling gets rested tomorrow so i can get my 9 points from Evans 1st sub

    1. n-doggg
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 14 days ago

      Probably come off the bench for a point

    2. william prunier
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 14 days ago

      Can't see Navas getting the nod!

  16. n-doggg
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 14 days ago

    Mane to

    A. Coutinho
    B. Erickson (have Alli)
    C. Other

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 14 days ago

      A

    2. Gucci Mane.
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 14 days ago

      A

    3. Pipermaru
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 14 days ago

      C cause Liverpool without Mane might struggle and there's no such a player as Erickson in FPL 😛

  17. william prunier
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 14 days ago

    Zaha to go on a Purple patch me thinks

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 14 days ago

      Palace still have tough fixtures coming up though.

  18. Whats the Huth
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 14 days ago

    Lukaku or Aguero to ibra?

    1. Aiden Mcgeady 😆
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 14 days ago

      Could hold on Ibra for a week. Lukaku though if you must

    2. Sweetboi
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 14 days ago

      Aguero.

  19. The Big Fella
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 14 days ago

    For the first time since I brought him in, I am debating getting rid of Alonso. I am concered if he does something though, his ownership will punish me.

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 14 days ago

      Clean sheets have dried up, but who would you replace him with?

      This season has been pretty poor for solid defensive options and he still has a DGW coming up.

      1. The Big Fella
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 14 days ago

        Spurs? Arsenal? Valencia? Once they have mathematically won the league, he may play Ake instead of Alonso so he may not even feature in the DGW anyway.

    2. Gucci Mane.
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 14 days ago

      Thinking alike, mate. Selling him frees up funds. I'm thinking Mustafi; Arsenal have good fixtures coming up. Who are you planning to replace him with?

      1. The Big Fella
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 14 days ago

        Not sure - Walker/Valencia/Bellerin? I am ok for funds so that isn't my primary concern, I want points. I just think that in a few games when they have mathematically won the league, he may give Ake a run out and rest his regulars

  20. Sp0rting
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 14 days ago

    Spurs CS but what happened to Wa*ker today?

    1. Gucci Mane.
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 14 days ago

      Benched

      1. Sp0rting
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 14 days ago

        Well yes, I did manage to work that one out.

        Thanks anyway

    2. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 14 days ago

      Rested after International exploits.

      1. Sp0rting
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 14 days ago

        Ah, just having a snooze after making us snooze during the internationals.

        Cheers.

    3. Team Bobcat
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 14 days ago

      No one knows. Had the su*ker 2. Not impressed

    4. Pipermaru
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 14 days ago

      He's benched very often with such a congested schedule, it's not the first time really

  21. Bruno Bruno!!
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 14 days ago

    Only Sanchez and Sterling left, probably drop some rank tomorrow

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

      There will be goals in that game

  22. Ten Season Wonder
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 14 days ago

    Alonso & Costa out for a hit I'm soooooo peeved off RN

  23. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 14 days ago

    Eriksen assist removed I see 🙂

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 14 days ago

      Bah humbug!

  24. A.T
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 14 days ago

    Carl Markham : Press association

    Sadio Mane walking through mixed zone unemcumbered. Obviously there are underlying issues with his knee but doesn't look as bad as feared
    For those asking about crutches/brace, Mane was pulling a suitcase. Pretty sure @LFC medical staff would have done a risk assessment on that https://t.co/SqZ5SWEzU4

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

      Missing BOU is enough for me, he's going 🙁

      1. A.T
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 14 days ago

        I'm waiting for more news. He might still play.

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

          I don't think they will rush him back. And his replacement scored so 'deserves' to start

  25. Evasivo
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 14 days ago

    Mane>Sanchez looking likely, just need to wait until tomorrow.
    Could be tempted with a -4 for Lukaku>Vardy too

    1. Sweetboi
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 14 days ago

      Lukaku's 3 fixtures after United are tasty

      1. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 14 days ago

        Yes, but Everton don't look great without Coleman, I can see Lukaku struggling now.

  26. 824545201
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 14 days ago

    Mane, Sane, Kun --> Sanchez, Alli, Ibra (-8), good moves?

    1. Gucci Mane.
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 14 days ago

      Good moves but not worth the hit.

    2. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 14 days ago

      Just Mané to Sanchez imo.

  27. Henryyy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 14 days ago

    Kun -> Ibra
    Mane->Sanchez
    Baines->Bavies

    -8 yay or nay?

    1. n-doggg
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 14 days ago

      -8 is a lot this end of the season

      1. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 14 days ago

        Just Mané to Sanchez imo.

        1. Henryyy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 14 days ago

          Cant afford that 🙁

  28. Magic Bean
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 14 days ago

    Haven't been on at all today. What's the average score ya reckon?

    1. Henryyy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 14 days ago

      Here or overall?

      1. Magic Bean
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 14 days ago

        Here

  29. Whats the Huth
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 14 days ago

    What's the news with Rose.
    Been waiting on him to return.
    Shall I just get Davis in

  30. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 14 days ago

    I read some mumbling on here earlier that Llorente had not been training. Anyone know anything about this?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 14 days ago

      Only care about the lineups.
