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.

    Wow, Pickford. He looks unstoppable today. World class saves. On my bench of course.

      same. and Jaku on bench last week of course...

    2. MTPockets

        • 9 Years

        Me too but I played Cech who has 2 game weeks. Can't ever justify benching a DGW player especially if they're a premium player

      • George Sillett
        • 10 Years

        Will be a great signing for someone next season. Talented lad.

      Pickford is actually a freak.

      Does it mean Arsenal 0-1 Sunderland next week?

      Dear god, have B.Jones and Pickford on the bench. Played triple captain this week and going to play bb next week.
      This will deffo end in tears.

      Honey Monster down with cramp.

    21. Bolt-on
      • 15 Years

      Would Pickford be good at a bigger club? Not sure about him.

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

        Not big..but would be good at teams like Everton I'd say

      2. The Big Fella
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        He is a bit Hartesque in that he is a great shot stopper so a club that doesn't have a great defence where he will be busy a la City, Liverpool etc. yes I think so. A club like Chelsea, I am unsure

    22. Spencer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Anichebe (c) fail?

        Good on you for making an appearance - most on this forum wouldn't.

    23. fedolefan

      Please score Watford.

    24. Ribus

      Come on Hull, kill that cs.

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

      Jaku in the baps?

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

        A penalty save will be enough I think

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

      So the moral of the story is that these middlings teams aren't talented enough to score in the first half and aren't talented enough to stop their opponents from scoring in the second half?

    27. MTPockets
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Olsson starts, Kingsley bench.

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

        My header theory is gathering evidence after that Dawson goal.

        http://members.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/public-stats-tables/view/15174/

        West Brom have the most headers on target this season, Burnley the 4th worst for headers conceded.

        Will be analysing these match-ups every week now.

      • EmreCan Hustle

        Rondon, Vokes, Jones, Stanislas, Mahrez, Diouf. No one get points!
