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.

    Kane dead then

    1. LǝgleSs e|even
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      I hope so too. He's ruined this season for me

  2. BrutalLogiC
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Hmm 16 points with Sterling left. Anyone less? Was 17k on Friday.

    1. JayLegend
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      10 with Ota, Sterling and DSilva. Shambles

      1. Fred54
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        How is that...

  3. SADIO SANÉ
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    brilliant, my planned 'differential' of Auba & Kaku (no Kane) from GW32 (WC36) will be done by everyone else too, fantastic

    1. *sigh*
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Yeah, ok

      1. SADIO SANÉ
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        I've commented this plenty of times, feel free to check - my WC plan almost revolves around getting 3xSpurs back in GW36, including Kane

  4. Clintymints
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Good week to have 2ft as an Aguero + Kane owner

    1. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      My sarcasm detector just blew up.

  5. Spg76
    • 9 Years

    KDB(c)

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Same

  6. Zilla
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Seems WCing on GW32 is a must now.

    1. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Agreed - was going 33 but not now.

      1. Zilla
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Same, hard af to stay with this team one more GW.

  7. FPL ZB
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Strike force of Kane Vardy and DCL and can’t get in any Liverpool. Any ideas?

    1. shotgunnufc - MANIAC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Tekkers or Tosun

    2. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Tosun and then Auba for GW32

      1. FPL ZB
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Think it will have to be that, will get Kaku and Auba on WC

    3. Ghost Gooner
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Benteke Deeney Mounie Wilson Tosun (Barnes Wood)

      1. fattfattygavgav
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Anyone know why Benteke was subbed so early yesterday?

        1. Delph & Safety
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          He was rubbish

        2. Business Cat
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          He was awful...no hold-up play

          That Sorloff guy looks much better

  8. JayLegend
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    If I transfer out Kane/J Ayew before playing free hit, can I avoid the price drops?

    1. FPL ZB
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Nope

  9. Monkey Hanger
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Aboomerang not going to be much of a diff, after GW31. Shame.

  10. Digital-Real
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Delle Ali most disliked player in the league?

    1. SW6
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Possibly now that Costa and Terry have gone.

      1. Digital-Real
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Terry vs Ali next season 😉

    2. HNI
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Fellaini easily! Alli is Morgan Freeman in front of him

  11. tisza
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Kane will be back for one of the DGWs but doubtful for 1st part.
    Same as GW22.

  12. HurriKane
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    If Wilson blanks tonight will he get dropped by Howe for next gw?

    1. Norman Conquest
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      hopefully

    2. Digital-Real
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      not if they win today

    3. Gobigorgohome
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Likely ...there is both King and Defoe

    4. HNI
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Its spurs. Not a bottom 10 side

      1. HurriKane
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        he has not scored for 5 gws now

    5. Jam0sh
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      I don't think he'll get dropped because of fpl blank? He should have also assist already

  13. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    If Kane is out Alli could be a good pick if he gets the striker role

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Not really a if anymore

    2. shotgunnufc - MANIAC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      have to see how spurs play now, might blunt their appeal without a focus point for the attack

    3. *sigh*
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Llorente says up ya bum

    4. Dr Van Nostrand
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Son is a far better striker

  14. Camp No No
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    A silver lining in Kane injury is that a blank GW upcoming, he couldn't have injured in a better time. No hurry selling him if it's a short lasting injury, because he wasn't going to play next GW anyway.

    1. DJDave1979
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      I think if Harry Kane goes straight down the tunnel and doesn't try run it off, it's not a minor knock.

  15. tm245
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Lukaku Willian Vahrez Mkhi Auba City mid should be an affordable core for the run-in. Liverpool attacker to round it off.

  16. Ted Bovis
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years

    Another GW 31 player down. Where is the delete team button?

    1. TorresMagic™

      Who?

      1. Business Cat
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Ake was down...back up again now though

  19. diesel001
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Hinchcliffe is a much better co-commentator than Carragher, Neville etc. Alan Smith is better though.

    1. Monkey Hanger
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Agree completely.

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

      How Is Smith Better? Sky commentary gone downhill since Andy Gray was axed

      1. diesel001
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Smith is more neutral and more composed. Maybe that is down to experience. But at least with Smith, if Spurs do well he isn't there getting depressed just because he is ex-Arsenal

    3. BobBradleysOpportunity
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      agree

  20. sunzip14
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Oh yeah, now I remember, what happened to the cup that had qualification round last gw? Had registered for it but I do not see it on my fpl page. scored 57 last week and was thinking it was enough to qualify. Any help appreciated!

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Needed 60

      1. sunzip14
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Oh okay. What is it with the qualifying rounds that I never get it right for that particular GW?. Season is going well though! Thanks TM

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Wouldn't appear on your FPL page anyway.

  21. 824545201
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Sterling (C), Kane (VC), will i get lucky tomorrow?

  22. Monkey Hanger
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Smooth. Kun captained, Aboomerang vice. Ward first sub.

    1. drughi
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      where do you guys pop up from ?

      1. Monkey Hanger
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        On here a lot.

    2. Andy'81
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      I've got Aguero as triple (C), I might have to put that one in the rough section.

      1. Monkey Hanger
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Depends on who is vice.

  23. markmcr
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Question:

    If I use my FT now and then play my free hit chip, will the FT change be reversed next week?

    1. Pasqualinho
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Yes

    2. LÖrKingMuch
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      No, think about it, that so would not make sense 😉

      1. LÖrKingMuch
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Fail, the answer is yes.

        1. LÖrKingMuch
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          Because that makes sense. The FH chip applies to all your transfers for the gameweek, doesn't matter if you confirmed one or two transfers first and only activate it after. And all FH transfers revert back in the following gw.

    3. Volley127
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Yes

  24. Ted Bovis
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    That ball boy looks like a right wrong un ;0)

  25. ZeBestee
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    The ball boy deserves some promotion 😀

    1. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Kane > Ball boy?

      1. ZeBestee
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        No brainer

  26. Jam0sh
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Would you prefer Baines or Coleman for GW31?

    1. *sigh*
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Coleman

    2. -SB-
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Baines

  27. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Captaining Kane has cost me an incredible amount of points this season

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Probably cost me 1 this week.

  28. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…

    Mahrez vc hurts a bit now

    1. Delph & Safety
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Ouch.

    2. sunzip14
      • 9 Years

      same

  29. Jeremy Corbyn
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years

    Pochettino back to back outcoachings

  30. Digital-Real
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Lamela has flopped at Spurs. Why does Poch persist with him?
