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

    I have TC, bench boost and Free hit left to use, is it wise to use free hit now for the upcoming gameweek? I would get 11 players with -4 hit for next week.

    Aurier & Rose should really be so much better than they actually are.

    Look at the bright side Kane cappers at least none of the other big armband choices did anything and it frees up a forward slot going into the BGW.

      Same difference if WCing in 32.

      Rival gained 22 points. VDH off bench for Davies and Aubameyang captain.

      Point me in the direction of a decent forward for GW31, who isn’t Firmino, please Ogie.

    Only had Kane (C) in this game, clearly I'm in shock because I keep wasting my data on checking for match updates...

    Well on the bright side.. Least there isn't any own goals today

  7. ZeBestee

    Looks like a Lamela screamer would settle this tie.

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

      Or maybe a scissor kick 😉

        Or a rabona..

    You're kidding me. Arry Kane doesn't get injured

    This game reminds me a bit of the Bournemouth vs Man City game at the beginning of the season. Will Spurs get a late winner like City did?

    1. Rash
      • 8 Years

      From eriksen yes

    2. Zilla

    So is there any real need to panic here? Everyone pretty much Captained Salah/Kane or Kun this game week. Next week bye week for Kane and Kun everyone will captain Salah. Then International Break. Gives us time to assess and maybe Kane/Kun drop in price. Kinda gives everyone a chance to shake things up and possibly make up some ground.

    Deli Alli's diving reputation denied him a free kick there

    1. Differentiator
      • 10 Years

      That or Mike Dean being a twat

  14. Digital-Real

    Who's dives more:

    a) Alli
    b) Hazard

    1. Hazz

      Why is this even a question.

    2. Boom Xhaka-Laca

      Richarlison?

    3. Brosstan

      Alli for sure

      Great athlete but awful player

  19. JJO

    8 years, 1 month ago

    Can anyone just pass it to Wilson?

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

      When he is not having 2 defenders on his back

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

      This...him & walcott my worst transfers

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

      I'd rather TC Rondon than own Wilson for just one GW.

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

    Disappointed with kane C injury, however on the bright side it should shake things up a bit if he's out for a few weeks
    Now more people will be willing to sell him for a -4 for either king/mounie/wilson next week or get auba/lukaku for the week after

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

      The complete opposite. I was gonna sell him when he was fit. Now most will do it out of need.

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

        This. I'm fuming on all aspects of this outcome.

      2. Brosstan
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Reminds me of when Morata got injured which forced everyone who would have kept him to get Firmino instead. Injuries on top players is really bad for team diversity.

  21. potatoace

    Im beginning to think Aurier is a Chelsea spy working behind enemy lines to sabotage

  22. Flynny
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Kane out for 6 weeks (as seems likely on past experiences) at least frees up much needed cash for wildcard gw32.

    Prob lukaku and auba up top

    And hopefully Kane back to be triple captained in gw37.

    1. SADIO SANÉ
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      exactly what I was doing anyway, with a WC36 - gutted

  24. Monkey Hanger
    • 12 Years

    Thought everyone would of realised by now that Salah is a better captained option than Kane. 🙂

  25. LǝgleSs e|even

    Best replacement for Walcott next week

    1. Syd.
      • 16 Years

      Walcott

    2. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      You mean after GW31?

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

        For GW31

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

          Only cramp wasn't it? I'll replace someone else with my FT just in case Walcott plays

    3. potatoace
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Literally anyone.
      But he's fine, he'll play gw31

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

        Sure?

    4. JJO
      • 13 Years

      Is he out?

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

        No

    5. asquishypotato
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      Keep he will be fine
