Coming down off the “excitement” of a double Gameweek, the latest programme of fixtures get off to a rather inauspicious start. The batch of four afternoon kick-offs appear very light on Fantasy interest.

Nonetheless, many will doubtless be monitoring Bournemouth’s visit to the Stadium of Light, with Josh King the undoubted star asset on show. With three goals in his last four Gameweeks and with 11 in his last 13 starts overall, the 6.1 midfielder will be heavily backed for another return against Sunderland. King was brought in by more than 100,000 FPL managers ahead of today’s encounter.

Similary, Southampton’s performance against Hull City will also be of keen interest, with Fantasy managers preparing Saints investment ahead of their double Gameweek 36. Striker Manolo Gabbiadini topped our captain poll and has been acquired by 160,000+ FPL managers heading into today’s transfer deadline.

Elsewhere, Stoke City take on West Ham at the bet365.com, while West Brom host Leicester City, with little on show to pique the interest from a Fantasy perspective.

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

    Does King look like scoring anytime soon?

  2. Fillet-o-fish

    how is Bournemouth performing so far?

  3. Rainer
    • 9 Years

    Gabbi be doing well to start 2 of the 4 games over the doubles.

  4. Fowler23

    Yellow Maguire

  5. gorilla

    is afobe injured?

  6. Fred54
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Imagine buying Negredo for DGW34 and captaining him and then selling him for Gabbi and captaining him this GW?

    Oh not me, I captained Benteke in 34 and have Kane this GW.

    1. Oven Glover
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Some poor sucker must have done exactly that

    2. Danno - Emre Canada
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Yep that's me right there

    3. Rhodes your boat
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Almost me but brought gabbi in on wc and captained Kane instead

    4. faux_C
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Didn't captain Negredo, but did everything else 😥

    5. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      yes I have and got both Negredo and Gabbi in for a hit too

    6. George Sillett

      Sympathy post or brag post ? The latter I think.

      1. Fred54
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        No, I foolishly brought in Gabbi as well.

  7. TheTinman

    59: Two changes for Saints, with Shane Long and Josh Sims coming on for Boufal and Gabbiadini. Home fans not happy with the latter coming off, and make their feelings known, with boos audible from all corners.

    Hopefully fan pressure increase Gabbis chance of game time... :/

    as a owner but non capper should I be happy with the 1pt?

    1. Sz21
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      14% of the Top 10k captained him..

      I ll be fine as long as they dont concede!

      1. Gudjohnsen
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Don't feel too bothered because I got him for Carroll and I didn't feel there were many other options in that price bracket. Maybe Llorente but he's got fewer fixtures. It was worth the risk.

    2. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      No. I tend to want the players I own to score more than one point regardless of wether I captain them or not.

    Ruth was right about Gabbiadini after all

    1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years

        Clearly a case of two wrongs being a right... 😉

    2. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Rival captained Gabbi, but getting bailed out heavily by Pickford.

      Come on BOU!

    3. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years

  13. Tommy J

    • 16 Years

    Really need to be careful about getting players with nothing to play for, Could be Leicester in dgw as well as Southampton and Watford....

  14. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    So Yoshi to score a goal and Cedric to get an assist

  15. Sz21
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Jacky Stephens on 3 BPS atm..

    Hopefully they dont concede considering I have Yoshida too..
    (Gabby didnt work so well though).

    1. TheTinman
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      2 clean sheets and 4 or 5 baps between the pair and I will be happy despite the awful captain pick

  16. jmcclory123
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    must be a record low amount of goals from 3pm kickoffs

  17. Fowler23

      1. Sebbo29
        • 11 Years

        Thanks for your reply earlier. Made me keep him

    4. Gudjohnsen
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      That's great news mate.

    5. Gaz Downright
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Benched.

  22. TheTinman
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Come on Bournemouth, I benched Pickford...

  23. Viper
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Took a hit for Gabbiadini and subsequently benched Zaha. There's only 1 way this will end....

    1. rivercityransom
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      you know he's playing burnley, yeah?

      1. Viper
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Hazard Alli King Coutinho

        Gabbiadini Kane Lukaku

        Where could I have started him?

        1. rivercityransom
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          you shouldn't have taken a hit if it meant benching zaha against burnley

    2. Gaz Downright
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I kept Zaha. Much appreciated.

    'Southampton have got their flip flops on'
    Sunderland 0-0 Bournemouth

    Sunderland v Bournemouth - both teams have had chances, Jermain Defoe has had a few great chances but it's tough for David Moyes because it still looks like Sunderland are going to go. 
    Elsewhere, Southampton are in ninth place and have got their flip flops on, and they are playing like it.

    need some goals - looking at 16pts sitting on my bench after last week's 31 bench points 🙁

  26. Pigsinblankets
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Brought in gabbi, no wildcard, must. Not. Knee jerk.

  27. Perthite
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Bournmouth are bound to get a goal as I have Yoshida & Cedric on the field.

    1. CloudSky
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Dont they play Sunderland?

    2. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      What ? Bournnemouth goal will have little impact on those 2.

    3. Perthite

      Sorry meant Hull. Watching Sun/Bou on tv (Fruedian typing slip)

  28. Garlana

    I moved the captain off vardy after bringing Gabbi in 🙂

  29. evilfish
    • 10 Years
