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.

    Didn't everyone have this down as a goalfest? Afobe's first touch is so bad; let's bring Stanislas on and see if he can do some damage.

      9 years, 2 months ago

      I can see why Arsenal ditched Afobe now

      I was expecting 3+ goals.

    B) Coutinho ➑ Sanchez

    Appreciate your thoughts!

    1. GoonerByron
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Coutinho out before Bournemouth at home? No chance

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

      A, reluctantly.

    3. French Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      10000% A

    4. cheekumz
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      A but no other options? Siggy, just so consistent for his price. For almost any price actually. Do you have more than one team btw?

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

  29. Eden Hazardous
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    King > Fabregas would be a good move I think. No brainer really

    1. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Well Bournemouth fixtures not the best and Chelsea have a dgw coming up, could well pay off

  30. For Fuchs Sake
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Pugh should have taken that first time!
