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

    What actually constitutes a save? If the ball is bobbling on the floor and the keeper picks it up under no pressusre, is it a save?

    1. Goodricke
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      *on target kicked by the opposition

      An attempt on target no matter how lousy it is.

      1. Goodricke
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        What is a backpass goes wrong and forces the keeper to save an OG? Is that a save?

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

    1. Differentiator
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Deyner?

      Denayer?

      1. Jafooli
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

    What made Moyes so successful at Preston and Everton; but not United, Sociedad, and Sunderland?

    1. Jafooli
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Baines

      1. Piggs Boson
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        He tried hard to get him at United too. You've figured him out 😯

        1. Malcolm Tucker for England …
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          would've got him if he'd not dicked about with the Fellaini buy out clause

      Sunderland squad is genuinely awful.

      1. Jafooli
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        One of the worst I've ever seen.

        Watching the game now, stadium is empty and game being played in Sunderland half. They can't get out. And seem to want to try and get out. Hideous performance

    3. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      United were too big a club for him. Sociedad he can't speak Spanish. Sunderland are just rubbish.

      1. Piggs Boson
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah, I think you're right.
