After Man City edged past Leicester at the Etihad, we now focus our attentions on a trio of 3pm encounters.

Bournemouth’s in-form Josh King collides with a Burnley defence that’s conceded at least twice in three of their last four league matches.

Owned by 19% of FPL managers, the Norwegian has racked up 11 goals and a pair of assists in the previous 13 Gameweeks to climb into eighth spot in the midfield standings.

Sunderland play the first match of their Double Gameweek 37 as Swansea City make their way to Wearside.

In what may well be his final home outing for the Black Cats, Jermain Defoe has been captained by just over 44,000 FPL managers, with a midweek trip to the Emirates also on his agenda.

With their survival on the line, Gylfi Sigurdsson and Fernando Llorente will be vital for the Swans today.

Still owned by 10% of FPL managers, the Icelandic international has a goal and assist in his previous three, while Llorente was snapped up by almost 44,000 new owners after netting against Stoke and Everton over the same period.

Southampton also get the first of their Double Gameweek 37 matches underway. Jack Stephens owners are left disappointed as he drops to the bench, while Manolo Gabbiadini misses out altogether as Claude Puel attempts to improve a run that has seen the Saints fail to score in four of their last five league outings.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

        • 10 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        He definitely startled me

          9 years, 2 months ago

      What happened?

      ??

    The fact that Bayern can barely beat Leipzig though. A tragedy.

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      They can't play Arsenal every week.

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

        I'm not a Arsenal fan.

  5. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Can't believe I did Kos, Alli > Yoshi, KDB -4. This season can't end soon enough.

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

      Doing is believing.

    2. The Fantastic Mr Fox

      its not too bad. gw isn't over yet

  6. Give The Todd Some Love

    Bundesliga has been phenomenal this year, Hoffenheim and Leipzig are always so entertaining

    1. Ben the Mee
      9 years, 2 months ago

      As exciting as it is, Bayern have won it 5 years in a row now. Just as bad as the Italian league in predictability.

      1. Give The Todd Some Love
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        League is more than a title though. Race for relegation and CL has been engrossing all season, half the league was up for relegation a couple of weeks ago.

  7. The Tinkerman
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Gabbi > Llorente (FT) is a no brainer for the final week, right?

    Can't believe I did the reverse for -4 a few weeks ago. One of the worst decisions of the year, and there have been many.

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

      Not if Swansea have nothing to play for.

      1. The Tinkerman
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Origi an alternative, but yes, if Swansea are safe I will looks elsewhere.

    2. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Sounds good to me

    3. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 10 Years

      At least he will play

  8. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Yoshi

    1. Give The Todd Some Love

    2. ChelseaGuy

    I think ligue 1 would be as interesting as PL in a year or two. The future of the league looks bright.

    1. Give The Todd Some Love
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      France producing talent faster than anywhere else in the world atm

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

        Yes. And there are also new owners incoming. Can't wait to see biesla take over at Lille.

        1. Give The Todd Some Love
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Yeah that'll go one of two ways lol. Marseille will be interesting as well.

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

            Yep. It's the only league which I can watch without paying extra money here in India. Hope it will be worth it.

    2. InSaneMan-e
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      I would agree
      However the problem is that PSG the only ones who have the financial might to hold onto all their talent.

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

        Not really mate. Marseille and Lille also have rich owners.

      2. Give The Todd Some Love
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Monaco's youth runs deeper than this season's starting XI. They will be dangerous for years I think.

  10. Viper

    Yoshi just blocked a Negredo shot..

    1. ChelseaGuy
