Saturday’s events end at the Vitality Stadium with AFC Bournemouth hosting champions Chelsea.

A high profile fixture for Fantasy managers, it’s importance has been elevated by Harry Kane’s injury which helped to spark 320,000 investors in Alvaro Morata. More than 132,000 of those arrived from the Spurs striker.

Morata disappointed on his return to Chelsea’s XI against Watford at Stamford Bridge, producing a single point from a 60-minute display. But four of his six goals for the Blues have arrived on the road and the Spaniard has had more big chances in away matches than any other player.

Eden Hazard is the other prize asset on show. He’s considered to dip in points output away from home, having scored 12 of his 16 goals last season on home turf. Yet to score this season, the Belgian boasts four goals in his last three matches against the Cherries.

Fantasy interest in Eddie Howe’s side is somewhat limited, with Charlie Daniels their top owned player; he is part of 9.3% of squads, though 45% of his managers have benched him for this evening’s clash.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Still...Sterling coming on and scoring was nice 😆

      And a bonus point

    Scouts picks flopped big time!

    1. ZeBestee
      9 years, 12 days ago

      They mostly do nowadays

    2. Yozzer

      Quelle Suprise

    3. The Mandalorian

      More like they got lost on the motorway

    RMWCT please gents!

    DDG Speroni
    Azpilicueta Jones Walker Gomez Dunk
    Sane Salah Eriksen Sterling Loftus-Cheek
    Rashford Abr

    1. ZeBestee
      9 years, 12 days ago

      Attack too light

    2. Kun Tozser
      9 years, 12 days ago

      .. Abraham Morata

      Walker is the cash in the bank to get Kane in for Morata

    3. Yozzer
      9 years, 12 days ago

      Rashford? Ugh

  4. pundit of punts

    Alonso âž¡ Otamendi for -4 this GW to afford Richarlison.

    Beat that. 😎

    1. FC Hakkebøf
      9 years, 12 days ago

      But why :/

    2. Cok3y5murf
      9 years, 12 days ago

      Good move, unlucky.

    3. Cookie Kid
      9 years, 12 days ago

      Made sense TBF

  5. @persecuted_by_mods
    9 years, 12 days ago

    Wonder how all those free hits went

    1. Tim Canterbury
      9 years, 12 days ago

      I imagine a lot involved Sanchez, Lacazette, Silva, Jesus, Otem & Richarlison. So not particularly well. I think it's a no brainer for the blanks. You spend so many transfers both before and after working your team around it. Can just completely forget about it now except in the actual week. Will be nice

      1. Kazza_
        9 years, 12 days ago

        Got kola and sane so was OK 51

    2. Danno - Emre Canada

      See below

      i wouldve had 23 (-4) with fodder to play.

      instead I have 46 with Mahrez and Pope to come.

      not fantastic but 27 points better off as things stand.

    4. Red Dagger ✪
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 12 days ago

      I'm about 20 points better off with mine. so not great but ok. Last year in the blank game week I captained King so even with several player not playing I did very well. There is a lot of luck involved.

    5. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 12 days ago

      34 points better off so not bad

    6. @persecuted_by_mods
      9 years, 12 days ago

      Sounds like a good week to have played it, then again more likely to get responses from people who it worked for

  6. FC Hakkebøf
    9 years, 12 days ago

    Im looking for a way to get Kane back in my team - if fit. Any suggestions?

    Elliot (krul)
    Jones Gomez Naughton Cameron (TAA )
    Eriksen Salah Sterling (RLC Caroll)
    Aguero Jesus Morata

    If Kane drops tonight as predicted, I can do Jesus + Sterling --> Kane + Pedro... but im not sure wether getting rid of sterling is the right move, or if pedro can justify his pricetag. Could also get a cheaper midfielder and save money for upgrading TAA or even sacrifice defence and do TAA + Jesus --> Mariappa + Kane.

    Thoughts?

    9 years, 12 days ago

    Can someone tell me why I own Christian Eriksen please. All this "Oh no keep him, Palace next week, he'll be captain material" Feels more like his last chance than anything

    1. The Wise Owl
      9 years, 12 days ago

      He's not been the saviour that we needed.

    2. Greenbackbøøg…
      9 years, 12 days ago

      You're right its silly to own the 2nd highest scoring mid in the game

    3. yemzinho
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 12 days ago

      yeah you should probably just get rid then.

    4. ZeBestee
      9 years, 12 days ago

      Get rid and help us non owners get him cheaper

    5. HD7
      9 years, 12 days ago

      United havent conceded a goal at Old Trafford, give him a break!

    6. Team Bobcat
      9 years, 12 days ago

      Eriksen was offering good returns whrn played with alli behind kane. He has been playing deeper of late and definitely not worth his price tag playing in that deeper role. Owner since the start but monitoring closely

      1. how now brown cow
        9 years, 12 days ago

        Should have had an assist today if Alli hadn't wasted it. He would have taken all 3 baps too most likely given the scores at the time.

  8. TheBusDriver
    9 years, 12 days ago

    Oh no. Just seen Chelsea's result. So annoyed right now.

  9. Lovren an elevator
    9 years, 12 days ago

    What was the Kolasinac injury?

    1. ZeBestee
      9 years, 12 days ago

      Hip. Should be ok i reckon

    2. Hy liverpool
      9 years, 12 days ago

      He is a beast .. will be fine

      1. Cok3y5murf
        9 years, 12 days ago

        If he's a beast, why did he go off?

        1. Fred54
          9 years, 12 days ago

          Hips do lie apparently.

  10. Midlands Saint73
    9 years, 12 days ago

    Could be my worst week ever, need Vardy to save it!

    1. Hy liverpool
      9 years, 12 days ago

      Two goals tomorrow .. Don't worry

      1. Midlands Saint73
        9 years, 12 days ago

        Positive thinking, like it. Actually considered him as captain so he may do well.

  11. Danno - Emre Canada
    9 years, 12 days ago

    Ok for you people feeling down about your scores and all you know it all free hitters. I'll make you feel better.....
    Team before free Hit 53 with 3 to play
    Team after free hit 34 with 2 to play and obviously nothing left for a small GW.
    That 53 + would have given me a nice jump eh

  12. TheBusDriver
    9 years, 12 days ago

    Need Vardy, Dunk, Elliot and Ward to save my GW.

  13. Gassemannen
    9 years, 12 days ago

    How did Sane get the assist? Thought it was an OG....

    1. TheBusDriver
      9 years, 12 days ago

      Definite OG. I guess Mark has Sane.

      1. Cok3y5murf
        9 years, 12 days ago

        You guessed wrong as usual

    2. Mark
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      9 years, 12 days ago

      Match Centre judged it not to be an OG. They felt Fernandinho's effort was on target.

      1. Rogue Todd
        9 years, 12 days ago

        They should have gone to Specsavers

      2. TheBusDriver
        9 years, 12 days ago

        I think it's pretty obvious it wasn't! Terrible decision imo!

  14. Tim Canterbury
    9 years, 12 days ago

    :/ dat gw rank doe. Bye bye 49k

  15. The Mandalorian
    9 years, 12 days ago

    Somebody on my street has put up a wanted poster for this weeks scout picks because most of them have gone missing.

    1. TheBusDriver
      9 years, 12 days ago

      😀

  16. red forever
    9 years, 12 days ago

    Pep to strike again next week v ARS? Sterling, kun and Jesus to start with Sane the one to get benched.

    Of course it’s pointless to trying to predict!

    1. ZeBestee
      9 years, 12 days ago

      After CL should be clearer

    2. Tim Canterbury
      9 years, 12 days ago

      We have to give him credit for being predictable this week. Sterling and Kun were due for a benching. If that carries on Bernardo & Sane will sit out Napoli and Jesus will sit out Arsenal

  17. pundit of punts
    9 years, 12 days ago

    Vardy, Elliot and Tarkowski, do your thing tomorrow and the day after! 😎

  18. Assisting the assister
    9 years, 12 days ago

    Any thoughts...now regret doing Sterling to Salah....but what now??

    Salah> Sane
    Richarlison > Sterling (scuppers easy route back to Kane)

    1. Ode
      9 years, 12 days ago

      If he scored that penalty you would be happy, would be dumb to get rid with those fixture

    2. ZeBestee
      9 years, 12 days ago

      No. Salah and Richarlison are still good picks for next week. Just bring back Kane if fit

  19. Tim Canterbury
    9 years, 12 days ago

    If Elliot, Suttner, Cedric & Mee could all keep clean sheets we can all just move on and call this gameweek even

    1. KEN YA DIG IT
      9 years, 12 days ago

      *and a vardy hatty

  20. makaveli123
    9 years, 12 days ago

    Was planning on getting rid of Hazard after this GW, but he looked really good tonight.

  21. TheBusDriver
    9 years, 12 days ago

    28 points. Definitely dropping out of the top 10k. Dreadful week.

    1. Please Help I Don't Kn…
      9 years, 12 days ago

      From how many?

      1. TheBusDriver
        9 years, 12 days ago

        7

        1. Please Help I Don't Kn…

          😮

    2. ZeBestee
      9 years, 12 days ago

      37 with Elliot and Ward dropping out of top 80k. Remember its a marathon

  22. The Mandalorian

    Mark South has had a good week https://fantasy.premierleague.com/a/team/370/event/10

    1. Team Cruel

      Benchwonker. Expected better from him.

    2. Tim Canterbury
      9 years, 12 days ago

      You spelt Suttner wrong

    3. Optimus.
      9 years, 12 days ago

      Nice

      Jones and Tammy coming in for Kane and Otem

  23. Please Help I Don't Kn…
    9 years, 12 days ago

    Beware: City's defence has been conceding a lot more recently.

    1. Nascimento
      9 years, 12 days ago

      A lot more than what?

      1. Please Help I Don't Kn…
        9 years, 12 days ago

        Than previously. 4 goals conceded in last 2.

    2. Optimus.
      9 years, 12 days ago

      Dropping Mariappa hasn't worked it seems

    3. Tim Canterbury
      9 years, 12 days ago

      I was buried in stats last week and couldn't help but notice they played all 4 of the defensively pants sides in quick succession which I thinks given us an artificially rosy opinion of their attacking potential (WAT, CPL, STO, LIV)

      1. Please Help I Don't Kn…
        9 years, 12 days ago

        Exactly. And none of those teams look like they're gonna score much either (except for Liverpool)

  24. Egyptian Giza
    9 years, 12 days ago

    48 with Ritchie Elliot and Cedric to go is good?

    1. Please Help I Don't Kn…
      9 years, 12 days ago

      Should get 55+ points so yeah, since many people had a trash gw

    2. TheBusDriver
      9 years, 12 days ago

      Ban

    3. Rogue Todd
      9 years, 12 days ago

      Bog off John Cleese

  25. Rogue Todd
    9 years, 12 days ago

    Small drop in OR should be compensated in the long term by the volume of burned free hit chips.

    1. nkhoughton
      9 years, 12 days ago

      Glad I didn't as hazard the only premium player really to get a haul today

    2. ZeBestee
      9 years, 12 days ago

      Yes we all hope so.

  26. nkhoughton
    9 years, 12 days ago

    So many fires to put out Urghh

    Elliot
    Jones Luiz Davies
    Richarlison Hazard Sterling Pedro
    Jesus Kane Abraham

    Pope Martina Stephens Ward

    Who needs to F**k off first

  27. Cok3y5murf
    9 years, 12 days ago

    Never understood why Arsenal were backed so much, and I'm an Arsenal fan. Three players in the Scout Picks?

    1. Danno - Emre Canada
      9 years, 12 days ago

      And in my damn team this week

    2. ZeBestee
      9 years, 12 days ago

      They played a bad Everton team and all of a sudden they have the best 3. Laca has been a dissapointment in fpl terms. Am an Arsenal fan but we need to sort that defense. Turtlesacker should not be playing. Chambers good player at the back 3.

  28. Robe Wan
