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.
