After Arsenal returned to winning ways against Watford at the Emirates, Sunday’s action concludes as Bournemouth and Tottenham Hotspur go head-to head at the Vitality Stadium.

In light of a rare failure for Mohamed Salah at Old Trafford yesterday, all eyes turn to Harry Kane, the number one captain for Gameweek 30 in Fantasy Premier League.

Handed the armband by 27.3% of managers and captained by 62 of the top 100, he’s scored more goals (13) away from home than any player in the top-flight this term.

Furthermore, Kane hit a hat-trick in his only away encounter against the Cherries, back in 2015/16.

Elsewhere for the visitors, interest in Son Heung-min was on the rise after a 16-point haul against Huddersfield last week. Second only to Leroy Sane for transfers in (169,000+) for Gameweek 30, the South Korean starts again and will attempt to improve a run of just one away goal this season.

In defence, though, there’s bad news for Ben Davies’ 24% FPL owners – the Welshman is omitted from today’s squad due to “general fatigue”, ending a run of nine straight league starts. Over 663,000 acquired the left-back over the last four Gameweeks.

For Bournemouth, Josh King starts on the bench after missing most of training this week due to a neck problem.

With a home clash against West Brom as one of only four fixtures in Gameweek 31, interest in the Cherries is bound to escalate if they can deliver today.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    oh ffs I came on here as a 'behind the sofa no Kane but Aguero (c)er troll" and I see comments about Aguero that made me sit up with a sickly feeling, I fear my KdB vice may be needed now

    1. Garlana

    2. diesel001

    Everton finally keep a CS but Martina was dropped
    Kane(c), Mahrez(vc)
    Davies benched

    Harry Kane

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

      Been saying this all season. Hazard and him are too difficult to call when they will score. But at least Hazard is cheaper.

      1. JJO
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Missed all those hattricks and braces and had him for all games where he scored 5- points
        Learned a lesson with Haz 🙂
        Not bringing him again

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

          Haz one of my fav players. Just buy him. Don't captain, don't bench. Just let him accumulate in his own time

    3. Fred54

      I'm gonna sell Kane for King and cheekily hope he drops in price.

      1. Fred54
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        I'm well aware Kane has ages to recover but then I would sell King for Auba.

      2. Fitzy.
        • 14 Years

        And that King plays

      Has any player captain-failed more than Kane this season?

      1. Cok3y5murf
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        more times than*

      2. We Will Klopp you
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Not getting my armband again till 37 after this, the guy 8/10 finds a way to disappoint even when everything says he should deliver. Thank God for Salah because last season I had to rely on him and his inconsistent self.

        1. Cok3y5murf
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          He was better last season. His shot conversion rate was 26%. This season it's 14% and dropping further every week! Has been wasting a lot of chances. Although, I feel we had many captain options last season like Sanchez, Lukaku, Costa, Ibra for a while, etc... This season it's more limited.

          Also, Spurs are worse this season and were struggling at Wembley early on.

          I really hope they drop his price to 11.5 next season because he's too expensive.

    4. COLLIN QUANER
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Kane will be at Spurs for the rest of his life. Doesn't have the ability to play for Madrid/Bayern etc.

      1. Get up ya bum
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        He'll be at utd soon enough I reckon

        1. COLLIN QUANER
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Yep Utd I can see.

    5. Boom Xhaka-Laca
      • 8 Years

      Kane and Aguero out. Hmmm

      1. Pasqualinho
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        They’ve got a couple of weeks before the next game. Might not be too bad.

    6. THFC4LIFE

      Well done Mahrez and Auba cappers. Your bravery has been repaid. Enjoy the green arrows

    9. J T

    10. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Aurier is really a bad crosser and thrower of the ball

      1. Les Bleus

      To put it in context, I had a score of 39 over night and a gameweek rank of 143,258. Thats ludicrously high. Nobody has done well.

            Try being a Kun captainer with Kane vc. Is this world not already cruel enough!?!

              8 years, 1 month ago

              Same as captaining Kane really innit. Other Kun cappers (like me) prob have Salah captain so it's the same thing. Your comment isn't very enlightening

    13. ZeBestee
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Useless Begovic's scissor tackle on Kane making this gameweek going from bad to worse.

    14. Viper
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      At least with those 2 Kane captain points, he becomes my joint second highest scorer this gameweek, just behind Walcott on 3 😆
