An emphatic victory for Manchester City provides modest returns from their key Fantasy assets, sending us into the afternoon kick-offs scratching around for early points. With just four matches on the agenda, we have slim pickings available.

Bournemouth’s Josh King’s looks the most likely – he faces up to a Stoke City defence who boast just a single clean sheet from their last seven, having scored 12 goals in his previous 14 Gameweeks. Over 89,000 Fantasy Premier League managers have drafted in King ahead of this one, boosting his ownership to 891,000+ (19.8%).

Elsewhere, Hull City face relegated Sunderland at the KCOM Stadium with Eldin Jakupovic and Harry Maguire the major assets on show, while Burnley host West Brom at Turf Moor, with Tom Heaton’s 19.5% ownership surely expecting a clean sheet return.

Finally, Leicester City entertain Watford at the King Power Stadium, with Jamie Vardy seeking to maintain form that has brought him returns in eight of his last nine Gameweeks.

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

    Sunderland fans singing:

    'You're going down with the Sunderland' to the Hull fans.

    What a desperate game.

    This is quite an atrocious start to the DGW for me I'd say.

    For the DGW;

    Willy or Pickford

    Sané or Sterling

    Kane or Costa

  6. Lav

    Begging for a Sunderland cs

  7. HurriKane
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Tough one

    If you had the chance who would you transfer Willy in for ?

    A) Rachel Riley

    B) Jules Breach

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Too hard

    2. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Mark would say B, but definitely A for me.

      1. HurriKane
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        😀

    No one wants to see FPL darling Siggy leave the league. C'mon Sunderland, drag Hull down with you!

    1. Boydinho
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Siggy to Everton though

    2. HurriKane
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Siggy will leave even if swan survive

      a guy of his talent deserves a bigger club

    3. ChelseaGuy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      For all the love he has for Swansea..he deserves better players around him

    FPL @OfficialFPL

    REVIEW Vardy's awarded the assist for Leicester's 2nd goal. His flick takes a deflection off a defender but is deemed as intended for Mahrez

    1. Jafooli
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      FPL spoon feeding the casuals points now. Disgusting.

      1. Venom Snake
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        But.. I have Vardy 🙁

        1. Jafooli
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          😮 😛

    2. Stupendous
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Definitely not an assist in any game of football

  10. DR0GBA
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    im retiring from fpl it's just bs

  11. Forza
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    At least Hull failing gives us hope for another season of Siggy.

    1. Somalion
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Siggy will be elsewhere either way imo. Everton would be a good move.

  12. Hotdogs for Tea
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    13 points from 5 players ... with 10 left to play 🙂

    Re King: Do you get an assist for a dummy?

    1. Venom Snake
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Don't be silly

  14. tm245
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Niasse close

  15. Fred54
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Stanilas Hamstring problem. Subbed off.

  16. Rover
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Too much to ask for a Huth header in the back of the net?

    1. MTPockets
        8 years, 10 months ago

        I'm praying.

    2. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Really hope hull go down. They offer nothing in fpl

      1. Somalion
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Same could be said for a lot of teams staying up

        1. Sims
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          But they don't have a chance of going down

          B/w hull and swans

      2. Bolt-on
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Ever

    3. Sif
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Siggy will be in the PL next season whatever happens to Swansea.

    4. Pariße
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      This is terrible. Low scoring gameweeks when you least expect them.

      1. HashAttack
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        I hope it isn't worse than wk 13 (24pts -16hits)
        It's psychologically damaging not even getting double figures for a game week

        Got 11pts with -16hits so far

    5. denial
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Never taken a -12 before. I guess this is why it's not a great idea.

      1. HashAttack
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        -12 is never good for me ... too many hits but also not enough hits
        If I take -16 that normally works out ok .. if I had done one more transfer this week I would have had KDB

      2. Bolt-on
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Me too

    6. Dele
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      This has got to be the worst game week so far this season.

      Literally everything going against me.

      1. tm245
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        The average is 12, don't think anyone is doing very well.

      2. JJO
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        I fell ya man I fell ya

    7. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Stoke goal.

      "Doof"

    8. Pariße
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Stoke scored. Cmon Bournemourh now!

    9. Numb
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Anyone on track for a ton?

    10. _Jane
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      So after 18 games Rondon finally scored lol

      1. Mark-O
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Nearly half a season

    11. Mark-O
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Uh oh Bournemouth

    12. StalkingDwarf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      I remember picking up Gradel at the start of last season. He was great until the injury.

    13. Viper
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Lukaku & Sigurdsson to absolutely rub salt in the wounds here.

      No doubt.

    14. Goodricke
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Pickford 5 saves

    15. tm245
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Pickford with a great save of Hernandez
