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.

    Please help because I'm disappearing up my own arse. If you've got all chips left but decide to FHC in GW 31 instead of GW35, is activating your WC in GW32/33 still the best way to go or does it change everything?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Depends how you are set up for 31 and 35.

    2. Ghost Gooner
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Depends how many bgw players you have and can bring in with a FT or two. If you have 3 pool and 3 others you should be fine

      1. :
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Four in total at the moment (including Walcott). Wisely, I took out Firmino this week and brought in Aguero! 😯

        1. Ghost Gooner
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 4 months ago

          FH then I'm afraid but you have to WC with gw35 in mind

  2. Pierce34
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    So it looks like I'll lose to this dead team on my H2H this week:

    Heaton
    Jones - Alderweireld - Luiz - Moreno - Blind
    Eriksen - Ince
    Lukaku - Kane - Vokes

    😆

    1. Gudjohnsen
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Lukaku captain?

      1. Pierce34
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Indeed. Doucoure and Redmond of all people coming off the bench for two of the defenders.

        1. Gudjohnsen
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 4 months ago

          Yeah, really strange game week. Really needed one of Son or Mahrez.

  3. Ed
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Lossl
    Baines vvd ake
    Siggy Walcott shaqiri Salah
    Firmino Quaner

    -8 gets me that. Enough to limit damage in 31?

    1. RÏɠBY
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      and a -8 to restore it?

      1. Ed
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Thankfully a wc

  4. FPL Virgin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years

    Another depressing gameweek 😥

    1. Pierce34
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      You don't know depressing until you have 21 overall points and Jordan Ayew coming off the bench for Ramsey 😉

      1. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Bad times, man.

  5. Gazza2000
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Pope -> Butland -4

    Yah or Nay ?

    1. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      It's a -2 innit? 😉

      1. Gazza2000
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        True

  6. the snazzy viking
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Hazard TC in GW37 against HUD and LIV

    tempting

  7. Don Kloppeone
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Have I got the lowest score on here? 21 with only Shaq to go

    After 14 weeks of green arrows it’s a plummet down the rankings! 🙁

    1. the snazzy viking
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      welcome to my world

    2. badgerboy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      There's worse don't worry.

      1. Don Kloppeone
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Maybe but I also switched Sterling for Siggy on Friday so the nail in the coffin will be Sterling exploding with 3 goals lol. Shaq should get me a max of 2. 23 all out. Blinding

        1. badgerboy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 4 months ago

          I'm sure Sterling won't do that. It's not a bad thing to have a bad week when the average is fairly low. It happens to everyone.

    3. Pierce34
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      I'm giving you a run for your money - 19 with Sterling and Otamendi to go.

      If Sterling misses out - 20 with Otamendi to go 😀

      1. the snazzy viking
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        -20? christ

        1. Pierce34
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 4 months ago

          It's not quite that bad - that was a hyphen. I'm on positive 19/20 depending on Sterling's status.

    4. Ghost Gooner
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Best week to get a low score as plenty others have had a bad week

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah exactly his

      2. Don Kloppeone
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Glass half full mate I like it. On the bright side I have 19 playing next week. Should teach those filthy casuals a lesson

      3. badgerboy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Definitely. Getting a bad score when the average is really high is the real gut puncher.

    5. JohnnyMagrinho
      8 years, 4 months ago

      I would say the 14 weeks of upward trajectory most certainly outweigh the slight fall you’re suffering this week.

      It’s a week that’s hit most of your rivals hard too - that’s the best kind of time to do poorly.

      1. Don Kloppeone
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Most of my rivals are casuals who have had a great week due to pure luck and no clue that there are BGW and DGWs coming up lol

  8. anish10
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Take Kun or Kane out for Firmino?

    WC 32 so want both back ideally if fit.

    1. Gazza2000
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Kun

  9. FPL Virgin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    18 penalty box touches for Son today 😯

    Is that a record?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Should have scored more points 🙁

      1. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        I think he scored quite enough, thank you.

    2. Viper

    4. Pierce34
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      I can't believe I've never owned him - he's straight in my team when I wildcard.

  10. JONALDINHO
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    50 with Shaq left. Will I get a big jump up the ranks or stay where I am? Praying City don’t go crazy!

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Terrible score

    2. The Hindu Monkey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      You'll get the biggest green arrow of the season

      Average is 29

      1. JONALDINHO
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Whattt? Had a shocking run but last week and this week have given me hope. Son,Mahrez and Mane doing me proud!

        1. asquishypotato
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 4 months ago

          Don’t pretend you don’t know.

    3. Don Kloppeone
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Not even a subtle brag. Have some feeling man! Some of us were lucky to break double digits!!

  11. Dannyb
    • 9 Years

  12. Viper

    8 years, 4 months ago

    Is there anyone on here that actually has less than 18 points with two to play? 😆

    In my 8 years playing the game, I can't remember a week where I've got less with all my players playing 😯

    1. Pierce34
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      See above, I'm very close: 19 with two to play.

      My all-time record low is 22 from GW6. Let's just say it hasn't been the best season.

    2. Ógie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      It will go down in the fpl history books as BGW30.

    3. Lazaretti
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      I have 19 atm. that includes bench points from Milivojevic and Lingard (Gomez, Niasse no show,) No when Aguero (C) doesn't show up tomorrow I will get points + or - from Bauer. VC Kane.

      1. Lazaretti
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Sterling and Aguero to play + Bauer prob from the bench. Might be that I will get over the 20points

    4. joakimosterberg
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      16 with 2 to go... 🙁

    Fab**
    Francis Schindler Vvd
    Son** Salah Walcott Shaqiri Pritchard
    King Firmino

    Elliot** - Kenny* - Kane** - Alonso**
    0ft

    A. Son to Zaha (-4)
    Or
    B. Son to Stanislas (-4)

  14. Ógie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    If Sigurdsson has been flagged why not is lets say Bailly not been flagged?
    Similar incident went down injured but then ran it off and played on for the rest of the game with no problems.

    Where did fpl source the information that Sigurdsson was enough of a doubt to give him a yellow flag or am i missing something?

    1. George James
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      I’m hanging in to the fact he payed a large part of the game with the “injury” surely can’t be that bad......

      Can it? 🙁

  15. FC
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Need help regarding free hit chip

    So like any other gw I have 1 ft for gw 31 so I do sterling out son in n confirm the change( without using chip) n save the team
    Now after some time I do multiple changes n confirm those using free hit chip
    So for gw 32 those changes made using free hit will be gone but son will be there for gw 32 i.e permanently?

    1. Dannyb
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      No Sterling will still be there I think.

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 17 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        yep

  16. rnrd
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Just saw kun is confirmed out for tomorrow.
    Most incredible thing is that actually from Kane - kun and salah, Momo will once again be the best pick this gw

  17. We Will Klopp you
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    I now have Rondon in my free hit team, too much tinkering?

    1. Salah’s Sonnet

  18. Gudjohnsen

    1. We Will Klopp you
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

  19. Old Wulfrunian
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Any news on Sterling?I have 27 points and only Sterling to play.

    1. fr3d
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Yes, he has trained this week. Just like last week.

      1. Old Wulfrunian
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Now that Kun is out he has higher chances to start.

    2. We Will Klopp you
      • 9 Years

      Expect the worst, pray for the best
