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

  3. Fingerspitzengefühl

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

      Serious bench points this week.

      1. Fred54
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 10 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..."

    3. Lav

      I LOVE YOU JORDAN PICKFORD

      I LOVE YOU

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

      Who ever said these games are boring?!

      I haven't mentioned ropes is ages!

    5. LakhaneeFC
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 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
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Cant plan for an Albrighton goal.

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

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

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

            Ndidi and Caballero on my bench so I get you.

      2. Deulofail
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 10 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
          8 years, 10 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

    6. HashAttack
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

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

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

      Albrighton 😆

      Save it for next week son

      1. Viprin
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Luckily Anichebe saved it

    8. MTPockets

        Huth you star.

      • Sims
        • 9 Years

        Should have gone with my gut and started pickford over caballero

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

          Can't complain too much really

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

            This

        2. MikeDuff
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          You would have just been moaning after the city game instead

      • Sarnab
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Pickford, Albrighton, Kompany all benched for me.

        God why did I not BB

        1. Unsuccessful
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Great audition for those WCing for GW37

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

          Benching Kompany wtf?

      • Unsuccessful
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

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

      • It’s gonna Ben Mee
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

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

      • UnitedFan
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Benched Pickford for Heaton 🙁

        1. Unsuccessful
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Nothing wrong with that call

          1. UnitedFan
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 10 months ago

            I know. Just bad luck

            1. Unsuccessful
              • 12 Years
              8 years, 10 months ago

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

            Awesome job with differentails this week.

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

              Oh man I'm over the moon.
              You don't understand, differentials NEVER work for me.

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

          I reckon you're gonna get a great score honestly

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

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

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

              Ozil could be a real game changer for you

        2. Fred54

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

      • Viper
        • 16 Years

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

        1. Pariße

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

      • Parm

        • 14 Years
        8 years, 10 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

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

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

          So much this.

          I'd never play Barnes (assist) either.

          Save it for next week guys...

        4. George Sillett
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

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

      • CloudSky
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

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

        1. George Sillett
          • 10 Years

          • 14 Years

          Some high ownership players could hurt :/
