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.

      100% agree....he's their main play maker, best dead ball specialist, great tackler, all round nice guy.

      Should play next four games.

      Leicester have barely had an attack. WBA have been camped in the Leicester half most of the game so far... WBA defence hasn't really had to do much. Foster hasn't had anything to do.
