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.

    Christina with her double WBA defence as 2nd and 3rd subs.

    Will she never learn?

    1. TorresMagic™

      Team Link?

  2. Mayo for Sam
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 12 days ago

    Looks like Mane potentially dropping tonight. Worth doing Mane > Coutinho? Need funds for Ibra next week.

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 12 days ago

      Check your purchase price. I won't lose any selling value if he drops tonight so happy that I can wait until tomorrow

  3. The Bandit
    • 15 Years

    How I lolled when I saw that mini league leader had treble WBA defs 😀

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

      who'd he captain?

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 12 days ago

        Deeney, Tadic vice 🙂

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

          not so clever then 😉

          1. The Bandit
            • 15 Years
            9 years, 12 days ago

            Well he also has Coutinho, Holebas and Hazard. 51pts

    2. Hank Scorpio
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 12 days ago

      A lot of people will have 15 points or more on their benches this evening!

      Including me

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

    Cavani or Lacazette?

    1. Hank Scorpio
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 12 days ago

      Cavani. Proven at higher levels.

    2. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 12 days ago

      Icardi.

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

        oh for sure Icardi is better this season, just watching PSG Monaco atm. However, Cavani would push Icardi for his money

        1. Davido989
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 12 days ago

          Icardi > Lacazette > Cavani for me.

  5. Hank Scorpio
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 12 days ago

    Evening folks! Looking for some quality advice please.

    Heaton - Foster
    Alonso - BDavies - Holebas - Robertson - JEvans
    Coutinho - Firmino - Alli - Lanzini - Carroll
    Aguero - Lukaku - Gabbiadini

    1FT, 2m in the bank.

    What do you think is my best option:

    A) Aguero - Lanzini - Alonso ----> Ibra - Sanchez - Yoshida (-8)
    or
    B) Aguero - Firmino ----> Ibra - Sanchez (-4)

    Leaning towards A, thanks!

  6. Ha.
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 12 days ago

    Sane > Alli for -4?

    1. Hank Scorpio
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 12 days ago

      I would, not only for midweek, but for the fixtures that follow in the next 4/5 gws.

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

        It's just the Hull fixture that is really appealing and then a DGW

        1. Hank Scorpio
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 12 days ago

          Have you got WC to get some City back in?

          Rotation could bite anyway.

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

            Yeh WC in tact

    2. MTPockets
        9 years, 12 days ago

        See how he does first.

    3. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 12 days ago

      Are people selling Alonso for hits? Surely with all the njuries no-one has luxury free transfers to sell the best FPL scoring defender in the game?

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

        It's very kneejerk yeah.

      2. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 12 days ago

        I'm not selling but people want to free up funds and don't mind taking hits.

      3. Hank Scorpio
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 12 days ago

        For funds, time to stretch for Ibra and Sanchez and defence has to lighten accordingly.

      4. ViperStripes
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 12 days ago

        I'm not selling either

    4. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 12 days ago

      Crumbs! Mané gone from 73% to 90% on PCP in just under an hour!

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

        PCP?

    5. ViperStripes
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 12 days ago

      I've raged transferred

      Jones, Mane & Costa > Stephens (cash release), Sanchez & Ibra

      1. Hank Scorpio
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 12 days ago

        I like it. Considering something similar above. What do you reckon?

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

        Stephens could lose his spot soon to Caceres. If he's your fifth defender and you won't need him much then yeah those moves look good. -4 or -8?

      3. Hotdogs for Tea
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 12 days ago

        Ballsy - hope Sanchez doesn't get injured tomorrow

      4. Jay_
          9 years, 12 days ago

          Shoukd have got Holgate. Stephens may hold his place though.

      5. WE GO FOR IT
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 12 days ago

        Mane replacement?

        A. Alli
        B. Eriksen

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

          AAAAAAAAAAAAAaa

        2. Les Bleus
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 12 days ago

          A

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

          That boy Dele.

        4. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 12 days ago

          Alli scores more points, but having both looks close to essential... Looks like spurs are going to push chelsea now for the title, with their run of fixtures

        5. WE GO FOR IT
          • 10 Years

        1. Les Bleus

          Yep

        C. Any other suggestions

      9. Les Bleus
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 12 days ago

        Mane and Cahill out for Sanchez and a defender up to 4.8m worth a hit?

        1. Hank Scorpio
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 12 days ago

          Probably

          1. Les Bleus
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 12 days ago

            Which defender in your opinion?

            1. Hank Scorpio
              • 14 Years
              9 years, 12 days ago

              Yoshida? Has 2 DGWs to come.

              Or Davies at Spurs?

              1. Les Bleus
                • 14 Years
                9 years, 12 days ago

                Cheers. Those two are who I was thinking of.

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

              Davies

              1. Les Bleus

          Sacrifice a 3rd player to facilitate.

        2. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 12 days ago

          When is Gabbi due back? Wonder if it is worth getting Gabbi and sticking him on the bench and playing 3-5-2 for a few weeks?

          1. Hank Scorpio
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 12 days ago

            Has a chance for midweek.

            I benched him today and played Holebas. Worked out nice.

            1. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…

        • 9 Years
        9 years, 12 days ago

        Mane TV 9.7
        Mane SV 9.5
        so I think that mean I bought him at 9.3
        So will I lose value SV if he drops tonight?

        Funny old game FPL, last week everyone was selling Coutinho (including me 🙁 ) now everyone wants him in!

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

          I kept him, will shift after BOU

          • 9 Years
          9 years, 12 days ago

          I really wonder how good Coutinho will do without both Mane and Lallana; we saw how Lukaku did without Coleman for example.

        whatever people might say about LVG he got the best out of Rashford while Jose seems to have broken him.

            1 FT, 2.1m ITB

            Original plan was save this week, then Vardy to Ibra next week, get 2 FT's flowing, then Siggy to Zaha in 33, maintaining 2 FT's. Now a teeny bit worried I could be missing a easy chance of being able to keep Siggy in 33 and with JWP coming off at 63 I've thought of this:

            A) JWP > Zaha (leaves exact cash for Vardy to Ibra next week)
            B) Save (sticking to original plan, get Zaha in 33)

            I'm still more than leaning towards B) But have to consider A) What do you think?

            1. Les Bleus
              • 14 Years
