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.

    Think bringing in coleman for a hit would be worth the risk of a '-2' ?

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

      If Stoke score 2, it's -3

    2. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      It's not a risk of a -2 for a defender. A couple of goals conceded and it's a -3 or more.

      Got to weigh up chances of attacking returns. Everton defending not great.

      I did this week to spread hit over 2. Sold Mawson who got 5 so I'm 3 points down but Coleman should get at least 2 so it's a 1 point gamble on attacking returns or CS.

        I guess I need to take a bigger sample next week

  6. Ajax Hamsterdam

    8 years, 4 months ago

    That Chelsea spurs game.in gw 32 is a pain. want to load up on players from both these teams for my wc team but then surely my score for that gw won't be great. Any thoughts ? Thanks 🙂

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

      Get them after.

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Yep but that would involve hits.

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

          2 FTs until 34.

          1. Ajax Hamsterdam
            • 12 Years
            8 years, 4 months ago

            Yep I ll have to work something out thanks 🙂

    2. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Delay until GW33

      1. Old Man
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        WC delay that is

  7. how now brown cow
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Walter Neff whoever you are.

    I wave the white flag. Well done.

  8. Jayv807
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Ramsey rested again. Swapped out Walcott to Ramsey last week....at least I was half right with Walcott blanking both games....

    1. Big P
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      You going to keep?

      He's becoming very frustrating

      1. Jayv807
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Probably dropping this week as I only have 5 starters at the moment and think Ramsey will be rested frequently while Arsenal survive EL

        no WC or FH either, been a terrible year..

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

    Are the FH transfers counted at all? I have the feeling they are not, from the looks of what is being traded at fpl statistics

    1. Jeremy Corbyn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      nobody knows??

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        I don't think they are

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

      no

      1. Jeremy Corbyn
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Ok, this means that non free hitting trading will actually affect price change significantly more

  10. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Have been gameweek ranked 1.683 million 2 weeks in a row. That's the definition of mediocrity.

    1. Jeremy Corbyn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Team? I'm gonna sort you out

  11. Ajax Hamsterdam
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Is anyone going without kane in their wc team until gw36 ?

    1. Jeremy Corbyn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      depends on him

    2. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      I don't know what I'm having for tea.

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Fair enough I know I m planning a bit too much 🙂

      2. Flynny
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Prob most of us if his injury is as we expect

        1. Ajax Hamsterdam
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 4 months ago

          I haven't read about it is it supposed to be bad ?

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

      Just done a draft without him. Looked bloody lovely

  12. Kermit Special
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Who sold Son because of stupid fears of rotation? haha 0/

    1. Kermit Special
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      At least I got his points last week but that was utterly silly. Kane going off really highlights the terrible season I'm having.

    2. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      He'd scored 5 in past 3 games. Never likely to be benched unless injured.

      1. Kermit Special
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah in hindsight. Just thought Lamela could come in since he started 3 matches in a row.

        1. how now brown cow
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 4 months ago

          Son is spurs form player, even with kane fit.

          Its only my opinion but got season ticket and I had posted this several times.

  13. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Son is becoming a real pain .

    1. Jeremy Corbyn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      he's one game away from landing on my team

      1. DA Minnion (Former great)
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Same.

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

      You could end up top 50k yet. If he does really well and 2,950,000 of those with a gw rank better than yours don't own him too. Don't sweat it just yet.

      1. Robe Wan

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

      6 weeks my guess

    2. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      3 weeks to recover. Who knows.

    3. Earn your Spurs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Must-have players for GW31 (exc. Liverpool)?

    I'm thinking Butland, Shaqiri, Mounie, possibly Mooy

    1. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Must-have? Really?

      1. how now brown cow
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Huddersfield failed to score at home to a Swansea team that had 10 men for 80 mins.

        1. Earn your Spurs
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 4 months ago

          Swansea are pretty good at present - although I'll accept Palce are looking better than before and have been unlucky to get nothing from 3 tough games

          I'm clutching at straws I guess

          1. how now brown cow
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 4 months ago

            I'm not saying it's not worth a shout. There's just not many great options.

            Got to be really certain of wc-ing in 32.

            1. Earn your Spurs
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 11 Years
              8 years, 4 months ago

              WC in GW32 is a given - my main rival has already jumped and did WC this week so assume he will FH next week

    2. booshed
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Tosun ?

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

      Bournemouth attack is must have

      1. Earn your Spurs
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Agree but who particularly - will Wilson keep his place given the lack of goals, or Defoe with lack of fitness, or someone in midfield?

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

          Stanislas for sure and I'm getting Josh king for old times sake

          1. Earn your Spurs
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 4 months ago

            Nice ideas

      2. Jeremy Corbyn
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        who do you suggest? the problem is picking one

  19. Jeremy Corbyn
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Mounie and Tosun the best two strikers next week?! besides Firmino obviously

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

      that's what I'm going for atm

      1. Jeremy Corbyn
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        why not King or Wilson?

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

          I'm trying to work that out as well!

        2. booshed
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 4 months ago

          Do you think Liverpool's top three is essential? Flirting with the idea of swapping Mane for Karius

          1. Earn your Spurs
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 4 months ago

            Mane has been the best pick recently so why drop him

        3. AYLD28
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 4 months ago

          I like king

  20. Henning
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Kane and Ayew out for Firminho and another gw 31 attacker but who?

    1. Jeremy Corbyn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Tosun maybe

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

        Ok, Maby him or Mounie

  21. VDiesel26
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    I have all my chips left (Wild card, free hit, bench boost & triple captain)

    I know this will depend on DGWs but whats going to be the most likely weeks to use them for maxium benefit?

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

      DGWs are going to be 34 and 37.
      Blank GWs are 31 and 35.

  22. New Post
  23. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Any Bournemouth worth having for next week after today's debacle.

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

      They play WBA

      1. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Still will manage to concede no doubt

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

          Well if Son can score 2 away, anything is possible. 🙂

    2. AYLD28
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      I’m looking at King and Ake

      People will laugh at Ake but West Brom are terrible from set pieces and Ake likes to get in the box

  24. AYLD28
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Who should I take out for Firmino...

    1. Aguero
    2. Kane

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

      Wait for news on both.

      1. AYLD28
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah but one of them is going to go anyway for Firmino

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

          I mean news before deadline. Kane may be out for 32 etc.

      2. AYLD28
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        I was going to go Aguero before his injury but now kane is (possible) crocked too it’s like ah

  25. Ajax Hamsterdam
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Who do you guys think is the best tc option apart from kane in gw37 ? Thanks 🙂
