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

    Hope Southampton concedes an early goal , and one of the defender gets subbed off at 27th minute

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

      Chill. You're overthinking.

  5. Fred54

    Let's go Pickford, Yoshida, Barnes (Stephens)...

  6. Nomar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Add Gabbiadini to the list of totally effing useless transfers I've made this season. Keeping Brunt and Can company.

  7. HD7
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Since Gabbi aint playin I will really need Kane and Mr. King to step it up, and if Pickford gets a cleanie maybe we can offset Gabbi absence 🙂

    Gabbi to Jesus ftw

    1. blizzle

      That wasn't exactly a difficult decision was it?

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

        Easiest decision I had to make

    Celtic - 3 more draws and unbeaten in domestic games this season and get the treble.

    1. Nomar

      One horse race winners.

    I know I'm not alone, but buying Stephens over Holding this week because he was the nailed option ... 😀

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

      Both Stephens and Holgate over Holding for me, for that same reason. Worked out pretty badly. Holgate this week was part of a hit to get Jesus too.

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

      I got in Yoshida but only because I already had Stephens. Honestly didn't expect him to be dropped smh

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

      i did kosc > mustafi (-4) for the same reason and waiting for kosc to score now

  12. Arctic monkeys

    Sanchez to go absolutely mental and grab a hattrick.

      Make it happen Artic....need asap.

    Next season I probably won't wait for a dgw to use BB after this farce

    It's turning out to be my worst benched week all season

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

      Just pick better players and spread the money around better, simple.

    2. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      You can just as easily have a bad week in a SGW.

      No one can predict the future, but you improve your odds on a DGW. 4pts for playing both matches is nice too. That's a cool 16pts from the bench straight away if they play.

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

        depends on the players, keepers and defenders are likely to score less than 2 points due to goals conceded.

  15. itwaswritten

    Why didn't Stephens start I'm gonna cry from anger

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Bad luck. Manager decided this was week to rotate him.

    At least the Anichebe injury means we get to be benchw*nkers for one last time this season
