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

            Moyes will get stick but I think he's done great not to lose 8-0 every match this season.

    1. Backup Dancer
      • 10 Years

      Triple should be in a double. Rest don't matter.

    2. Ravager
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Nah I think the TC should be in a double. But yep, the other two, doesn't matter much

            8m .....8.5m seems excessive

        Hull has to get something against Palace, but Palace can put the final nail in the coffin

        1. The Overthinker
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Even if they win against palace, they won't beat spurs

      Gabbi & JWP vs tired Man Utd legs 😎

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

        Man Utd legs won't be tired. They'd be playing their bench anyway. If anything, they may be still warming up.

        1. Forza
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Don't ruin it for him, or he'll vomit everywhere again.

    • Stupendous
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Look at it this way at least...

      Bench boost is a luxury that many don't still have, so whatever scores coming into this week were set and even a few points extra are a bonus.

      Plus it's not like any rivals are going to have an extra 10m laying around, so their bench will largely be fodder too.

      Most rivals of mine don't even have expensive starters all over let alone on a bench (with or without BB!).

      Still lots to go too, starting with a Sanchez hat trick!!!

      1. Team Cruel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        You're missing the point. We ignore so many good benches earlier in the season just in anticipation of the DGW.

        1. Stupendous
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Was always going to be that way plus like i said, that's all done. Only look forward.

        2. GE
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          This! Next year I will use it earlier to avoid using so many transfers on my bench!

      2. The Overthinker
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Loved everything except the last line.

          Life really is crap i hate it and this game and I should quit

        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Last 3 GW's I've had 17,2,19 on the bench. This week? 4.

        Main rival still has BB and so will use it next week and likely get a silly score.

      Come on Palace! GW38 could be a week where no-one has nothing to play for. Rotation galore!

        Great for me as owner of 3 spurs

          • 13 Years

          Hope Spurs to kill their opponents, even though Chelsea won the title already. I've got Vert + Alli & Kane. Good luck, mate!

      This dgw and bench boost is just a waste.
