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

    When you decided to keep sterling despite knowing son was the better option

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Hindsight

      1. Football Heaven

        But son is the better option anyway. Poor decision on my part

    Bleurgh Aurier. Son has some hilarious celebrations.

    So far this week:
    17 points from 9
    15 points from Son

  6. Hazz

    Aurier doesn't deserve any points this match. He's been atrocious!

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

      Goal and an assist though!

    Son absolutely single handedly saving my week here, Davies not in squad also a blessing in disguise as get Mee off the bench.

    1. -SB-
      • 9 Years

      Lucky for some...

  8. Chucky
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Only jammy casuals have Son... no need to worry lads....

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

      All his casual owners sold him in the last two weeks...!

    2. FPL_Hazards

      I’ll bite 200 OR going into today, Mkhitaryan and Son (plus Wlison) lol

      1. RÏɠBY
        • 14 Years

    3. GreenArrows
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Bitter much? Casual 82K last year, was 76K before this GW? Guess I am a casual but wanted 2 FT for GW31 so held Son and Sterling!

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

        mad casual

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

          Spurs fan too....cant drop Son on this form

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

            Best player in the team, he's been given minutes to shine and he has, drop Alli before this guy.

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

              Definitely, and with Kane injured, Son could shine again. Shame though as he is a differential

      And that jammy first season of a casual happens to be leading my ML

  9. Qaiss
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Now just because of what you Kane owners did at Xmas, I will do the same now....... LOL at Kane owners 😉

  10. Cok3y5murf
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Son has won me my FFS cup tie 🙂

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

    Was it worth keeping Son over his bad spell? Thank god I kept him for these two games! Surely he is essential in GW32 WC

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

      Yes!

  12. Piggs Boson
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    C'mon Wilson, still time for a hattrick...

  13. justlikehoney
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Aurier goal just to rub it in the face of the Davies owners there 😀

  14. Dobswell55
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    47 points after BPs, Kane (C), Shaqiri left to play

    1. Yellin' in my Ear
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      You still have Kane to play?

      1. Dobswell55
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Negative, went off injured, solid 1 pointer

    2. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Kane has played Mr. Graveless gloater

    3. UshFPL
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      54 here with Shaq left. Hopefully City take it easy tomorrow and maybe Shaq can nick a goal

  15. FPL ZB
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 8 Years

    Tottenham scoring 4? Must have gone well for my (K)ane then

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Brace at least

    2. df34

      7 years, 11 months ago

      Know what you mean Zouma. As I said earlier still think the captaincy thing needs altering. Imagine this was a DGW , you TC your player but he goes off after 20 mins, while his main competitor gets 3 goals over the two games. Wonder would people be so blaise about it then. I doubt it and rightly so they be frustrated if it happened to them.

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

    Son (49)
    Aurier (44)
    Alli (43)
    Eriksen (33)

    1. FPL_Hazards
      • 13 Years

  17. FPL Scoop

    Stupid casuals will buy Son this week, making him more expensive for me to bring in on WC later...

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      I'll buy him as well, have a spare FT

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

    Feck Kane I'm telling you just f Kane. He's ruined my whole season looks like it's all shambles

  19. Cok3y5murf
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Aurier owners in heaven

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

    2. diesel001
      • 9 Years

      Yep.

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

    Wow this team plays better without Kane due to better shot conversion from other players. Poch is really great.

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

    Son has lost me the ffs cup tie

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years

  22. Leaf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Daniels 1 pointer already locked in

  23. Holmes
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Will be tricky to fit Mahrez and Son in midfield 😮

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

      None of them is more than 9mn.
      If you want to waste money on Sanchez and Hazard then yeah

    2. FPL_Hazards
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Really? I have both plus Mkhitaryan and will prob keep them

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

      Yep season had returned to the 3-7-0 formation.

      1. Holmes

    4. Zilla
      • 8 Years

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

  24. MrMajeika
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    People who are wildcarding for gw32 who is top of your list for players to get apart from the obvious choice Salah. does Kane feature in your plans?

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

      Wait for more news, but was out for 2 months last time he injured his ankle so no if its that long

  25. Desperately Seeking Dusan
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Good grief I was so lucky I didn’t replace Son with Walcott.

    Thanks to the community here who told me not to listen to the team news on the site and thanks to Moyes who forced me into using my transfer on Adrían instead!

    1. Cok3y5murf
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      You're welcome.

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

  28. The Enlightener
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Spurs should sell Kane. Obvious he holds them back.

    1. The Enlightener
      • 12 Years
