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.

    So happy I'm getting Robertsons 1 point off the bench instead of Davies 2 pointer

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

      1 pointer Ogbonna for me

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

    still convinced Bournemouth's pace and pressing could lead to a big score against a broken WBA.
    decent fixtures 32 & 33.

  4. FPL Blow-In
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Stanislas over Zaha then?

    1. Flynny
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      I'm getting both

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

      Getting both with my 2FT

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

      Get both and take a hit

      1. Deulofail
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        But then I'll have 12 starters and -4 points :/

      2. FPL Blow-In
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Midfield is

        Salah, Mkhi, Arnie, Mahrez, Walcott

        Selling Arnie. No pint in selling Walcott and have no WC so holding the others for the dgw.

  5. DAZZ
    • 11 Years

    Best three bournemouth vs west brom? Currently on Wilson King and Stanislas!

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

      On FH

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

        I'm free hitting as well
        Thinking about Stanislas + Ake + Wilson/King (depending on today)

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

      Stan Ake and Wilson

    3. Pep says
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      I'd get King and Stan I reckon. Wouldn't triple up. Bournemouth are so unreliable

    4. Paul Psychic Octopus
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Definitely Stanislas. Not sure on the others... depends on how King's neck injury is by then and how this new guy does today. Defoe pressing Wilson's place.

    5. Paul Psychic Octopus
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Adam Smith playing right wing and just got an assist.

    6. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      These kind of questions are very misleading for the questioner. Not only are the answers swayed by the teams of the answerers (many of whom are not FHing and will say Wilson because they own him), but more importantly, it depends on the combinations of players you would have with each player, since they all play in different positions. Eg. You could have King, Wilson and Firmino, but that means you can't have Benteke, Mounie, Tosun, Deeney etc. But maybe you're okay with that. It's too much to ask for everyone to take every GW31 player into consideration when answering your question.

      That said, Stanislas, King, Ake. 😉

    7. Hart-ake
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Stan Ake and King or Wilson. Big score coming against WBA

  6. Pep says
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Just thinking out loud. Feel like free hitting next week just to see a decent green arrow. Possible the Leicester game will go ahead in 35 given Southampton's form and if you play the WC right, gameweek 35 is quite manageable if only Spurs, United and Chelsea will miss out..

  7. Forza Papac

    Kun is injured

    1. Forza Papac
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

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

    Stanislas comes with a serious health warning, he's broken my heart a few times but i keep buying him,

    1. Pep says
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Got him for the blanks last season and he got injured..

  10. Viper
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Who is Adam Smith playing instead of?

    1. fiveyears
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Fraser, would say it's pretty dangerous to assume Smith plays against WBA.

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

      Fraser/ibe

  11. JJO
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Cant believe Wilson cant even get assist
    And i have him fir ages

    1. Speédy

  13. GAMBIT
    • 11 Years

    Stan a better option than Zaha?

    1. Backup Dancer
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Yeah he scored, Zaha only got an assist

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

        Zaha only played for a short period

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

      Yes if he stays healthy

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

      Get both

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

  15. Sailboats
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Bournemouth are all in on attack. They don't care about defense

  16. Clintymints

  17. fr3d
    • 8 Years

    Never captain Kane

    1. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Sound advice.

  18. Kai
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Wilson is cursed

  19. El-Kloppico
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Kane captainers.. Trust Begovic he'll surely turn to his usual floppiness soon.

  20. Steve Stiffler
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    actually hate having Kane in my team

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years

      Sell then.

    Awaits meltdown from Kun cappers...

    1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      It's not that bad a week. Most will have Kane vice & most notable players that are less likely to be in Kun teams i.e. Firmino blanked.

      1. Jack Burton
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        got miki vice so not all bad

    Wildcard in GW32 or GW33?

    1. El-Kloppico
      • 10 Years

      33 for me.

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

      Depends on your team.

    3. Dannyb
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      I'm wildcarding 32 to dump all the crap I'm gonna have in my team.

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

        This. No way I'm heading into that week with the dross I've managed to collect, good fixtures or not.

    4. yakirh
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      GW33 for me, I don't have many players from BW31 so I have a solid team for GW32

  26. Dušan Citizen

  28. GreenArrows
    • 9 Years

    GW31 team with 0 hits

    VVD
    Stanislas Walcott Shaqiri Zaha Salah

    1. Guy Demel

      Weighed it up and bottled out

    2. denial

      Bottler

  30. N00B
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    What do you think about Adam Smith for gw31 ? Scored a goal 2 weeks ago vs Newcastle, oop and he just got an assist now.

    1. Guy Demel
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      decent shout, even in the back 4 he gets forward, could be a rotation risk with plenty to choose from in that area - booking magnet too (on 8 YCs i think)
