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

    35 points with Sanchez (C) monreal and cech left today, that king goal really put a smile on my face

    How was Sunderland not awarded a penalty for that handball? Just because they are sh*te?

  3. Sims
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Who else got Josh King right before his Hat-trick (week 24) because Matt Phillips was ruled out?

    😆

    Luckiest moment ever

    1. Viper
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Yep 🙂 🙂

  4. UnitedFan

    Koscielny though 😎

  5. nkhoughton
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Was worried when Stephens didn't start, at least it's not 6pts lost instead of 2 now

    With any luck he will start next week after conceding to boro

    1. Ha.
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      But had he started it would've been 6 😉

    2. Smoky Johnson
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      yeah but holgate-gate

      1. nkhoughton
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Yeah I got burnt by him as well

  6. tm245

    Oooh, Redmond might sneak a bap with the winning goal bonus.

  7. Viper

    My bench has been a disaster 2 points form 3 players, but 47 points with 5 still to play, plus 14 DGW'ers is decent isn't it ?

    1. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Yes it's good.

    2. Expected Toulouse
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Yeah my bench boost sucked to 3,2,2,1. Very underwhelming chip tbh, so wouldn't be too disappointed. Your score is good still, would not worry.

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

    Do we reckon Stephens & Gabbiadini play vs United?

    1. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Stephens maybe
      Gabbi doubtful.

      1. The Tinkerman
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        This, sadly

  11. Puntillimon

  12. Iceball
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years

    King on bench...boost

    1. Ha.
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      He certainly boosted your bench

  13. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Gabbiadini
    Gibbs
    No doubt blind rested

    The only 3 differentials I have over the guy that is 8 points behind and can put me out the money

  14. WVA
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Can't find anything on Stephens and Gabbi!?

    1. Pep says
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Dropped/Rested, call it what you want.

    2. Viper
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Rested

  15. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Hammy injury for monreal please

    1. Venom Snake
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      How delightful.

      1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        It would be yes

    2. Debauchy
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Desperate

      1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        You could say that.

    3. Ben the Mee
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Injured celebrating his hat-trick

    4. boogle
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      In a strange position of owning Monreal + Sanchez but wanting them both to fail.

      One rival has Cech , Monreal + Sanchez.

      The other has Monreal + Sanchez (C)

      Sanchez red please and no cleanie!

      1. Smoky Johnson
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        keep jinxing

      2. Pep says
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        I have Sanchez captain but my rival has him triple captained so a -2 would actually work out quite well for me, lol

      3. Old Bull
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Could you please not talk like that

        1. boogle
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Like what??

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

        I have Monreal and Sanchez (TC) and both my ML rivals have neither player. I'd love a cleanie along with a Monreal assist from wing-back and a Sanchez hatty to boot

        1. boogle
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          I wish my rivals didn't have them!

    5. Viper
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Wish I'd benched King.

      Would have brightened up bench boost a bit 😉

    6. Sims
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Need an aggregate score of at least 15 from sanchez to get a green arrow

      1. Ha.
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        It can't be odd

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

          Talking about raw total

    7. The Red Devil
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      5 points ahead of top 10K avg despite a 12 point hit, seems like an okay deal i suppose?

      1. Ha.
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        What's the average?

        1. The Red Devil
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          35.6 (With Bonus)

          1. Ha.
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 7 months ago

            Eurgh

          2. bitm2007
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 7 months ago

            that average is low then, top 10K average is 36.

            1. Ha.
              • 10 Years
              8 years, 7 months ago

              Eh?

      2. kalmoffit
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Hull haven't won away. Fair enough tomorrow would be a good time to start

        1. kalmoffit
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          That'sareply fail to PKW

      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      shucks.

      took point hits for Gabbi, Stephens and KDB for my BB this week.

      1. Ha.
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Only half way through

      2. The Tinkerman
        • 10 Years

        Ouch

      3. vectorman
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Don't worry, there's a lot of us in the same boat.. At least it's nothing to do with your skills as an FPL player 😉

    9. KJT123
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Koscielny will score today, after I offloaded him.

    10. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      29 with 18 left to play and captain Sanche

    11. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 16 Years

      Gibbs back midweek?

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

        Expected to be back fit. Back in the squad, no one knows.

        1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Thanks mate

    12. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      King likely to get 3BPs?

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

        nope

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

        2 is likely.

        1. Holmes
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Winning BPS not good enough to equalise 31BPS? 😳

          Never mind, will take 9 as a new owner 😮

    13. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      An Arsenal win will put the pressure on Liverpool

      1. Debauchy
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Big time , and WH looking ok of late

        1. Syd.
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          WH looking good and Liverpool not so good

    14. Pep says
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      It's hard to say what your bench boost is worth if you took hits to field 15 players considering you wouldn't normally do this. For example, I would have done Daniels to Holding when I had Mawson to play instead.

      However given the hits I took and the team I have, my bench boost is

      Pickford Siggy King Mawson

      Currently on 20 awaiting baps. Looks like Siggy and Mawson are just gonna miss out..

      1. Weasel Boy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Wow you did well

    15. The Tinkerman
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Was very dubious about (C) Sanchez given they face two of their bogey teams in Stoke away and Sunderland.

      Desperate for him to repay my faith now. Need a big haul and Spurs to be still motivated to rescue this.

      1. Jazz!
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Well he certainly wrecked Sunderland last time out!

        1. The Tinkerman
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Yep, Sunderland were so dire today I am hopeful that he can rescue me over the two games.

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

        exactly the same for me Tinkerman, I've been absolutely annihilated so far.

      3. Debauchy
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Think you're on a winner Tinker. Stoke not quite the same this season , but yeah were always a bogey away.
        Sunderland , no problem

    16. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      25-4 from 8

      Anyone top that?

      1. The Tinkerman
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        There was someone with 20 (-8) from 9 a few pages back.

      2. WVA

          Kompany Stephens Hazard Sane Matic Gabbi Pickford Jesus

      3. vectorman
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        22 -8 from 9. 3 non-starters lol

      4. Weasel Boy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Jeez
        Sorry guys
        I don't feel quite as bad now

    17. Venom Snake
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Have King owners finished pulling each other off?

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

        Nope, waiting for the two BAPs to finish

      2. Ha.
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Not if they got him in GW 28

    18. WVA
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Gabbi and Stephens have ruined my life, can't even look at my team haha
