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.

      I see your Tadic and raise you a jakupovic. 15 point swing in my rivals favour off one spot kick! And he has King and I don't!

      Arsenal have them at home in 37...

      Chelsea at the Bridge gw38, should be an exhibition for the fans

  6. tm245

    Jakupovic on the bench outscored my triple Saints in the lineup.

  7. MTPockets
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Start Pickford who concedes in 88th min, while Jaku saves a pen. Love this season

    1. Hakuho FPL
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      I had Pickford on the bench

  8. Plagued by indecision
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Did Gabbiadini go off injured?

    1. HammersFan
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      No

    2. BALOOO
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      No, he was rubbish 🙂

  9. Pep says

    Perfect start. PVA and Tekkers next up. C'mon my son!

  10. Alnair

    Tadic missing that cost Yoshida owners 6 points btw.

    1. vectorman
      • 10 Years

      Yes typical.. Oh well

    2. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      🙁

    3. JÆKS ⭐
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Even worse if you had Jaku before your WC and your ML rival still has him!

    4. jam
      • 16 Years

      5 if he gets one BP anyway 🙂

      1. jam
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Or not.

    5. Lizard Lips
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Not surprised. Pickford conceeds late goal to King as well. No chance I get my rank aim. Quit this game.

    6. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Worth it. Played Jaku 😛

  11. Reuser
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Jaku in goal. Stephens and Robertson on bench.

    A Stones and/or Bailly no-show would be nice.... sometimes rotation can be your friend.....

  12. BALOOO

    King 3bps?

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Should be!

    2. Old Man Willow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Looks like it.

  13. Rainer

    Thank you Butland for coming back from injury.

  14. Somalion
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Jeez, half the Sunderland players actually looked happy with that result.

    Delighted to see the back of them.

    1. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Is that the end of Sun?

      1. Somalion
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Relegated and hopefully won't see them again until they sack 90% of their squad.

  15. Dr Dream
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    32% of top 10k own Jaku..only 6% played him

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      A LOT played Grant though, popular double up 🙂

      1. BrutalLogiC
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        really a lot of top 10k played Grant over Jaku??

    2. Pep says
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Benched by 80% of owners. Between Grant and Bravo, maybe Robles, I'm sure he'll autosub for plenty of casuals.

    Gabbi (c) and Jaku my sub Keeper...FML

  17. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Spewing at that Tadic peno miss....nugget.

    1. HammersFan
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Yea had Yoshida although happy with the cleanie and maybe a bap

      1. Alnair
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        No baps, Jakupovic (3) Stephens (2) Bertrand (2).

        Would've been on 12 points had Tadic scored that though.

  18. Deulofail
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    32 from 4!

    Jaku + King (in for JWP for free) heroes! It's all coming up Milhouse 😎

  19. dark91

    Parejo with a beauty freekick for Valencia

  20. Postman Ty
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    This whole season has been a f'n joke...
    WC: captain Gabbi blanks AND goes off before 60. Afobe gets injured. Yoshida's penalty assist denied by Tadic the idiot for a 6 point swing. Every week. Can't wait to see how I get screwed tomorrow.

  21. soup natsi
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Stephens, King in for Chambers, Siggy worked out well but why the hell I played Guzan over Jaku?

    Any chance Valdes returns from injury?

  22. Dthinger
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Was so hopeful I would be the only one captaining King, but I guess not.

  23. Gooner97
    • 12 Years

    Tadic's karma

  24. SuperMane Returns

    King of the BAPS 🙂

  25. Lallana_
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    10 pts lost captaining Gabbiadini over King.

    Should have went with my gut, oh well. Plenty of time left in this GW.
    Shame about Yoshida missing that assist.

    1. Old Man Willow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Same here.

  26. Fowler23

    9 years, 3 months ago

    Bloody king going to haunt me. Rivals captained King. I have Pickford.
    Not a bad Saturday. I have Fuchs and Stephens

  27. matiakez
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Gabi can have the 36 double but beyond its looking iffy.

  28. Hughes Your Daddy
    • 14 Years

    Glad I have added skipping the Gabbiadini band wagon to skipping the Negrado band wagon 😀

  29. Stats Don\'t Lie
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Would it have been a yoshida assist if tadic scored seeing as he didn't even touch the ball?
