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.

    2. Deulofail
      • 10 Years

      At least Alli, Eriksen and Sane hauled as well :/

  3. Fingerspitzengefühl

    Jaku/Pickford is so damn unpredictable :/ cost me 19 pts over last 2 weeks benching them

    1. MTPockets

      23

      1. Pep says
        • 10 Years

        23 - what his starting keeper scored

  7. Hibbo

    Serious bench points this week.

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

      Go on the right in the Article picture thinking "My bench will get a mega score this week and then next week when I actually play bench boost these players will go missing..."

    I LOVE YOU JORDAN PICKFORD

    I LOVE YOU

  9. Piggs Boson

    Who ever said these games are boring?!

    I haven't mentioned ropes is ages!

  10. LakhaneeFC
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Wow, I thought benching Albrighton was the easiest of decisions this week. No brainer

    Just goes to show how important planning is :/

    1. CloudSky
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Cant plan for an Albrighton goal.

      1. LakhaneeFC
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Haha, I know. So much tinkering on WC and my bench is currently scoring more than the team 😀

        1. CloudSky
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Ndidi and Caballero on my bench so I get you.

    2. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      I found it really hard, but everyone on here agreed it was a no brainer to put Saints def and Sane in front of him. Need Yoshida to haul at least to feel a bit better

      1. LakhaneeFC
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        For me it was fairly clear to be honest - 3-4-3 with Gabbi

        Never considered benching Gabbi if he was in the team. If I had Anichebe, I would have upgraded Albrighton 😀

        Basically, no matter what, I would NOT have had his points today

  11. HashAttack
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    -16 at start of the week, -12 last night, -2 tonight ......

  12. Viper
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Albrighton 😆

    Save it for next week son

    1. Viprin
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Luckily Anichebe saved it

  13. MTPockets
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Huth you star.

  14. Sims
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Should have gone with my gut and started pickford over caballero

    1. Viper
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Can't complain too much really

      1. _Make
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        This

    2. MikeDuff
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      You would have just been moaning after the city game instead

  15. Sarnab
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Pickford, Albrighton, Kompany all benched for me.

    God why did I not BB

    1. Unsuccessful
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Great audition for those WCing for GW37

    2. Venom Snake
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Benching Kompany wtf?

  16. Unsuccessful
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    I really have nothing against Hull, them surviving against all the odds would also be great, but come on Swansea...

  17. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Thank you Kompany and Pickford for making me get over the debacle with Kane, Erik and Alli!!!!

  18. UnitedFan
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Benched Pickford for Heaton 🙁

    1. Unsuccessful
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Nothing wrong with that call

      1. UnitedFan
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        I know. Just bad luck

        1. Unsuccessful
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          I desperately try not to beat myself up when the logic is sound.

        1. Venom Snake
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Oh man I'm over the moon.

    3. Venom Snake
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      I reckon you're gonna get a great score honestly

      1. tm245
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        I avoided King Eriksen Alli, just hoping for Ozil and Redmond to pay off the gamble.

        1. Venom Snake
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Ozil could be a real game changer for you

    1. liiusions
      • 10 Years

      100% coming into my team in 38

    2. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Around 10% ownership in 10K. I can live with that.

  21. Viper
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    14 points on the bench from 2 with 2 dgwk players also on my bench still to play 😆

    1. Pariße
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Perfect, 2 DGW players on my bench alongsode Pickford as well 🙂

  22. Parm
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    This is the first home game in which Hull have failed to score since Marco Silva's appointment.

    Face it; you probably weren't going to start Pickford over Heaton, Willy or Cech.

    1. ChelseaGuy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      This

    2. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      This is no time for logic. This is the time for moaning about bench pts!! 😡

    3. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      So much this.

      I'd never play Barnes (assist) either.

      Save it for next week guys...

    4. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Very true . The number posting that they benched Pickford . The usual nonsense.

  23. CloudSky
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Lukaku the 2nd most captained player in love teams. Anything will hurt.

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

      Love teams ? Are you on the correct forum ?

      1. CloudSky
        • 9 Years

        Live*

  24. HazardAGuess

    Why does Pickford keep having to best Willy, jeez.

    1. Ógie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Looking for his job maybe

  25. The Bandit

    Bad day about to get worse with no players in the next game 🙁

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Some high ownership players could hurt :/

      1. Piggs Boson
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        😕

      2. Parm

        1. Numb
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Has he ever had one?

    2. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Fearing Jags goal most. Had him for ages on WC then sold for Vert...

  26. Rossamous
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Silly bench players. Save the points scoring for next week

  27. Lav
