The Gameweek begins with what could be the key fixture as Spurs – the major source of Fantasy talent right now – host Bournemouth at White Hart Lane.

Over the past week, Fantasy managers have doubtless been scrambling to fill their three Spurs slots, with the focus switching to their buoyant attack.

Despite Dele Alli’s recent successes – with five goals in his last six Gameweeks – Harry Kane returns up front and now becomes the headline act.

Owned by just 13.2% of FPL managers ahead of today’s encounter, Kane is unlikely to remain such a differential in the coming Gameweeks, providing us with an early opportunity to cash in.

Meanwhile, in defence, Kyle Walker makes his return at right-back with an unfortunate Kieran Trippier making way. Walker was the most sold defender heading into today’s deadline, shedding 98,000+ owners but is still part of more than 33.9% of squads.

For Bournemouth, Josh King is undoubtedly the major threat. He’ll likely feature on many FPL benches today, although having already returned goals at Old Trafford and Anfield, he appears to have the fixture proof status to punish such a decision.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    1. Bubz
      • 12 Years

  11. diesel001
    • 9 Years

    Looks like Spurs have been practicing different corner routines.

  12. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years

    1. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 12 months ago

      Make up your mind.

  13. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 12 months ago

    One thing is for sure, Kane likes playing against Bornemouth, hattrick and a double in his previous games

    1. ChelseaGuy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 12 months ago

      You captained Son last week?

      1. Sim Simma
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 12 months ago

        Kane

  14. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 12 months ago

    As a non-Kane owner the first 5 minutes has me very worried now

  15. Chucky
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 12 months ago

    kane looking lively... not good for his non owners 🙁

  16. Sterling is £11Mill..…
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 12 months ago

    Kane massively off-side, and doesnt even put his attempt away

  17. Lawrø
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 12 months ago

    Lukaku's effective ownership is ridiculous!!!

    1. The Legend Squad
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 12 months ago

      What are the stats?

      1. ChelseaGuy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 12 months ago

        Almost 150% in top 1K

        1. Sim Simma
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 12 months ago

          Impossible

        2. ChelseaGuy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 12 months ago

          *10K

      2. Lawrø
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 12 months ago

        Almost 150% Top 10k. So for every point Lukaku scores each member of the Top 10k scores 1.5pts on average!

        1. Ziro
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 12 months ago

          Effective ownership concept getting used wrongly here imo

          1. Ziro
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 12 months ago

            It is only useful to see the average. Has no bearing on rank movement.

            1. Lawrø
              • 14 Years
              8 years, 12 months ago

              "on average''

              1. Ziro
                • 11 Years
                8 years, 12 months ago

                Yeah! I chose the wrong words. What I meant was, looking at average points for every Kaku event is not useful. Which rank those captained are situated in had more bearing

                1. Lawrø
                  • 14 Years
                  8 years, 12 months ago

                  "Top 10k''

                  I don't get your point. Effective ownership is a model that's used to predict whether or not your OR will go up or down and it appears to be very accurate... At the extremes like Top 50 it isn't so useful but it's a good indicator - the best I've seen! Locally it can be inaccurate take mini-leagues for example but for such a large dense sample like OR it's fecking fantastic

                  1. Ziro
                    • 11 Years
                    8 years, 12 months ago

                    Interesting.
                    How do you factor in this captaincy figure in the rank predictions?

    2. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 12 months ago

      Will he be sold now the easy home games have dried up?

      He takes over a 100 minutes more to score away.

      1. Lawrø
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 12 months ago

        I'll want him for GW37 and am a little scared to sell with his ownership... we'll see

    Can't get rid of King on wildcard. What value

  28. The Hobbit
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 12 months ago

    Sorry for noob question, but maybe someone can explain what exactly Effective ownership is?

    I feel that I understand the meaning and general concept, but how does it work mathematically? My friend recently asked to explain the term and I realised that I kind of know what it is, but can't explain properly. 😀

    1. ChelseaGuy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 12 months ago

      Captaincy doubles ownership

      Suppose 50% Have Lukaku
      20% captained him
      Then EO = 50+20 = 70%
      (Or 30 + 2x20 = 70%)

        Thanks!
