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

    What a disaster.
    Let’s hope it isn’t serious and he’s alright for the end of the season.

    1. FPL ZB
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Bentekkers

    2. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Replace with 2 other big hitters .... Quaner and J Ayew?

  7. Homo Neanderthalensis
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Kane going to be out for a few weeks now??

    1. John Nerdelbaum
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      how will anyone know at this point?

      1. Homo Neanderthalensis
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Well they’ve said right ankle ligament damage?!

    2. Dr Van Nostrand
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Seems so timing couldn't be better tho as he's not useful until GW33 anyways which is a month away

  8. FPL ZB
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Cannot believe I’m considering Kane Son and Walcott to Mounie Zaha and Stanislas

    1. Patch
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Haha it's like going into the work office and hitting on the toilet cleaner

  9. Tillyboggis
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    The good news is i still have 2 players left for the Man City Stoke game.
    The bad news is they both play for Stoke

    1. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      No, the good news is they both play - no-one else seems to be.

  10. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus

    Lol @ this season

    1. LǝgleSs e|even
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      RIP bro. First time is FPLer leading my ML. Fabulous season indeed.

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Fair play man, enjoy while it lasts... FPL is a cruel mistress

  11. Shultan
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Just come home & checked both scores so excuse me for being late but wtf kane (C)
    Also saw cech got 3 bonus so is it just me or penalty saves too heavily rewarded in BAP system?

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

      Well CS 4 saves and penalty save
      What else can gk do?
      And all those saves were good shoots

  12. Syd.
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Kane missed seven games after twisting the same ankle last season

    1. Oven Glover
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      It looked pretty nasty imo.

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

    I was planning to sell Kane anyway for a few gws but now he's injured it will be an extremely popular move which is quite annoying.

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

      Aye.

  14. Zilla
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Perfect. Sane 2 pointer confirmed.

    1. LǝgleSs e|even
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Why?

      1. Zilla
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Nearly every player blanked for me

  15. LǝgleSs e|even
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Everyone should get a fair play to nominate C and VC. System picks the higher point haul between C and VC at the end of the gw. This way in case of shitty situations like this your one failed captain choice is covered for.

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      lol

      1. LǝgleSs e|even
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        What's so funny TM?

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

      Exactly, it's stupid that something unforeseeable like your captain getting injured after 30 mins can have such a significant effect.

    3. Boom Xhaka-Laca
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      That's not the point of a captain is it though, you captain the player you think will get the most points, if he gets injured in the first half tough luck.

  16. Ógie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    Is Dele Alli near essential playing as oop striker if/when Kane is ruled out for a few weeks?

    1. SW6
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      He is not playing as oop striker now. Son is.

    2. Dr Van Nostrand
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      When has Alli ever played as a striker they have Son

    3. Ghost Gooner
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      You mean Son

  17. Delph & Safety
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Is there now a shortage of strikers for 32 WC?

    Aubameyang will surely be a popular choice.

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Kaku

    2. shotgunnufc - MANIAC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      auba lukaku firmino Vardy all going to be popular

  18. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Eriksen ticking along with baps. Desperately need an attacking return from him.

  19. doy
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Gonna be one helluva low average score this week...

  20. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Kane out for a couple of months then

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Season over

    2. Mince n Tatties
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Kane to Berahino for GW31

    3. BobBradleysOpportunity
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      son just became the most valuable player in fpl

  21. drughi
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    KDB masterclass needed

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

      This

  22. Sparkys Barmy Army
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Am I best playing my wildcard now to get a good GW31 team or next week to revert it back to my current one?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Must have a terrible team to WC.

      1. Sparkys Barmy Army
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Fab
        Bauer - Bavies - Smalling
        KDB - Salah - Mahrez - Mkhi - Ox
        Kane - Vardy

        Foster - Kenny - Long - Wilson

        Only 5 will play so surely worth playing WC?

    2. GREEN IS GOOD
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Great idea - it gives you a golden opportunity to pack your team with West Bromwich and Palace players. Just in time to miss the DGW.

      1. Sparkys Barmy Army
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        What is the best plan then? Just leave as is?

        1. GREEN IS GOOD
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          If you WC just for GW31 you'll be left with a pretty crap team.

          No FH?

          No FT?

          With Kane injured you could do Kane 》 Firmino for -4.

  23. Bobby
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    This season is turning into a mess. What’s latest thoughts on sterling playing tomorrow?

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

    Poch saying injury to Kane today is similar to that sustained by Kane last season against Sunderland which kept him out for 6 week

  25. Ógie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Poch has confirmed ankle ligament injury.

  26. tm245
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Poor Llorente, forgotten man.

  27. GE
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Kane, Sterling and B. Silva -> King, Stanislas and Shaqiri (-4)?
    Or worth taking more hits?

    (2FT, 0.4 itb)

    Hennessey
    VVD
    Salah/Walcott
    Firmino/Wilson

    Bench/don't play: Speroni, Sterling, B. Silva, Kane, Duffy, Ogbonna, Alonso, Davies, RLC

  28. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Possible ligaments, same ankle

    Oh dear

  29. Baked baines
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Fair to say but this is a f**ked up game week!!!!!!!

  30. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Nearly captained Aguero and vice captained Kane.

    So glad I did it the other way around now.
