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

    Whatever happens, King has been my favourite signing of a disappointing season, always trying.

    1. Sess!

      I wish people would stop whinging

      The thing that makes FPL good is the unpredictable nature of the results / scorers / assisters

      If it went as planned every week it would be as boring as hell

      3. Somalion
        • 15 Years

        Agree. Just wish it was unpredictable while the football was good, instead of it being unpredictable because the football is crap

        35, gutted I didn't get him in 28 as the fixtures were off-putting after that so didn't want to transfer him in then

      9. Rover
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Went for him instead of Mane in GW28 against popular opinion. Then in some crazy brainfreeze took him out for Alli instead of transferring out a flagged Antonio. And finally got him back in during my GW35 WC.

      10. jia you
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Bought him in 28 and made the mistake in selling him for Zaha for a couple of weeks! I realised my mistake and reversed that transfer, he's been immense hasn't he!!

      DGW Boast:

      assuming stephens doesnt come on, I'll have 18 points from Cab, Huth, holgate, stephens, capoue, Pedro, Hazard, Gab, and Jesus.
      2 points per player average, pretty certain to be increased when captain Sanchez plays.

      the whinging on here today has been first class.

      never seen anything like it. also a certain degree of blinkered entitlement creeping in now where people feel that whatever risky moves they must pay off and if they dont its everyones fault but theirs.

      I got stephens for the double, he got rested as he has played a lot of matches. he will play against united.
