Bournemouth are without both Callum Wilson (£6.4m) and David Brooks (£5.1m) for their Gameweek 25 trip to Cardiff City.

Dominic Solanke (£4.7m) comes in for the latter, who was reported to be injured for several weeks in the media on Friday night.

Eddie Howe has deployed the former Liverpool man, making his Premier League debut, alongside the in-form Josh King (£6.4m) at the front of a 4-4-2 formation.

Meanwhile, Ryan Fraser (£6.1m) and Junior Stanislas (£6.0m) retain their places on the flanks.

Victor Camarasa (£4.6m) remains absent for Cardiff, meaning another start in central midfield for Aron Gunnarsson (£4.4m).

Oumar Niasse (£5.0m) leads the Bluebirds’ line, with Callum Paterson (£5.0m) pushed out onto the right wing.

Bournemouth XI: Boruc; Smith, Ake, S Cook, Clyne; Fraser, Surman, Gosling, Stanislas; King, Solanke.

Cardiff XI: Etheridge; Bennett, Bamba, Ecuele Manga, Peltier; Reid, Ralls, Gunnarsson; Murphy, Paterson; Niasse.

    Gross 3 bonus. What a guy!

    1. Maddi Son
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Hopefully should sneak under the radar nicely with the blank coming up. If Locadia wasn't such a donkey he would've hauled big time today.

    • 12 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    This defence too cheap?

    Robertson Doherty AWB Bednarek Valery/Peltier

    1. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Maybe. Same first 4 here though, but for the 5th spot I’m dropping Alonso to TAA or Pereira

      1. davies
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        What’s your front 7?

        1. FPL Scoop
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          If I do what I plan to this week (Alonso Hazard to TAA Son), i can have:

          Salah Son Sane Pogba Camarasa
          Auba Jimenez Rashford

          1. Pat Bonner
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 15 Years
            7 years, 5 months ago

            Identical to my team!

    2. Andy Mac
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Don’t double up on Soton. You need one better player than Val/Pelt imo

      1. davies
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Bennett @ 4.1?

    3. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      No such thing as 'too cheap' unless you'e not spending your whole 100m+ budget

      1. davies
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Would you be comfortable with that?

        1. Deulofail
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Would depend on the rest of the team and my strategy with it. There's no reason to not be comfortable with it on the basis of the players and prices themselves imo. They all look like reasonable value or better. (Not sure about Pelt/Val, but nothing wrong with looking in the bargain basement in principle, especially if they will be your 2-3rd sub most weeks))

          1. Deulofail
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 5 months ago

            tl;dr - it's not too cheap

    4. The Baby-faced Assassin
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      I will have same next week apart from Bennett instead of Valery/Peltier

      1. davies
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Yeah thinking that

        What’s your front 7?

        1. The Baby-faced Assassin
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Team link in profile. Plan is to do Digne > Bednarek so I can do Richy > Son

    5. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      I have taa doch Jonny bed pelt and I am comfortable with it.Wolves double up decent till gw29 and taa back fit too atleast for bgw

  3. Deulofail
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    If I knew Solanke would start for sure, I'd have played him over Aubameyang. Saying it now so people will believe me when I say if after Solanke outscores Auba 😀

    1. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Cardiff are awful but still think I’d play Aubameyang

    2. Amey
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Auba can score against city i think.
      At least that's what i hope for 🙂

      1. Deulofail
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Me too! Solanke to demonstrate his worth would be a nice bonus (especially is Pogba doesn't turn up 😀 )

        1. Amey
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Ha ha.
          Nice. Though i hope Pogba does coz i have Digne 😀

  4. pakornk
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    could Son rise tonight?

    1. mrodgers91
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Looking likely. Everyone on here is talking about getting and already over 20k new owners

  5. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Betting Boots On.

    Norwich @ 3/1 to beat Leeds to go top.

    Norwich and Cherries double nigh on 8/1. C'mon!

  6. +
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    a) Hazard + Gallagher > Puncheon + Auba
    b) Digne + Hazard + Rashford > 3.8 + Son + Auba (-4)

    Essentially comes down to Rashford > Son (-4), which I think could be worth it?

    1. MTPockets
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Puncheon was benched today and Rashford vs ful, so not a huge fan of either.
      But A if had to choose

      1. +
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        a) is just swapping Hazard for Auba really, which looks pretty good to me. Puncheon is the only midfielder I can afford.

        1. MTPockets
          7 years, 5 months ago

          True, just that huddersfield play in 27/31/33 so assumed that was a filler for those games.
          Would probably get max 2pts anyway though so fair point.

          1. +
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 5 months ago

            Yeah I wouldn't be too pressed if he didn't play.

  7. Plymouth
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Hazard I love you

    1. Plymouth
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      And Luiz

    2. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Happy I had him for this week but I just hope the door doesn’t hit him too hard on his way out of my team.

  8. pakornk
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    After Chelsea's match tonight, next gw vs Man City should be interesting indeed.

  9. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Ings to Jimenez, or wait on Ings news?

    1. Numb
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      What Ings news would put you off that move?

      1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Cardiff at home next

        1. Numb
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          That wouldn’t really be news

          1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 5 months ago

            If Ings is fit to play I mean

    2. Dannyb
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Just do it, Ings is such a lightweight.

    3. mrodgers91
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      I would have had jiminez over ings anyway. Mans got more points that aguero right now and massively in form

    4. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Get Jimi anyway

  10. Andy Mac
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Aguero + Haz > Auba + Son (free)

    Would you also do:
    Laporte > Robertson or TAA or Kola for -4??

    1. Feloh
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      I'm scared of losing hazard after holding through out all the blanks.

  11. Pat Bonner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    My team looks amazing next gw!! 20 point week incoming

  12. FDMS All Starz
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Who is winning?

    A) Auba + Robertson +40pts

    B) Sane(c) + Pogba + Rashford

    1. FDMS All Starz
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      B also has Richarlison

    2. Feloh
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      A easily

  13. Planet Head
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    All players hauling so far, best season ever!

    1. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Well played. No City could burn

      1. Planet Head
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Boruc just conceded, already the all-player haul ends haha, typical!

        The real Bonner would've held out longer than that.

  14. TheSteel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Arent ya glad you kept Hazard?

    1. Gashead9
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      I thought about TC last night on Haz, didn't even Captain him in the end.

    2. Planet Head
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Extremely!

  15. Numb
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Hopefully Hazard will price rise

    1. fr3d
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      He will drop.

      1. Numb
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        After a brace?

    2. Rash
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Who will buy him with city away next?

  16. Feloh
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    ings to auba, haz to jota for the blanker yay or nay?

    1. Andy Mac
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Yep

  17. fenixri
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Alonso, Hazard -> Robertson, Son (-4) or just ship Alonso?

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

    48 points today, that'll do nicely

  19. barracuda
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Get
    A: Laca -4
    B: Auba -8

    1. MTPockets
      7 years, 5 months ago

      versus?

      1. barracuda
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Can Laca cover Auba in the next 3?

        1. MTPockets
          7 years, 5 months ago

          I meant who would you be selling.
          No I'd get Auba - but not for -8

          1. barracuda
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 5 months ago

            Haz, Mitro- Laca+Son
            Haz, Ings, Mitro- Auba+Son

            1. barracuda
              • 9 Years
              7 years, 5 months ago

              +fodder

            2. MTPockets
              7 years, 5 months ago

              Think I'd just sell Hazard and wait a week on Auba

  20. Feloh
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    what are haz and Luiz double up owners doing with the upcoming blanks??

    looking at Downdrading haz to jota to fund ings to auba.
    myself.

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Keeping luiz 100%
      Hazard probably as well ...

    2. Indpush
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Luiz out for Periera. Don't have Haz. Benching both Silvas.

  21. Rash
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Etheridge masterclass please

  22. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    🙁

  23. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Cmon Boruc!!!

  24. FFPro
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Just seen the Palace penalty incident. Can someone explain to me how that wasn't given as a Wan-Bissaka assist?

    His cross hits the Fulham player on the hand with no touches between.

    1. Numb
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Will be an assist then

      1. HollywoodXI
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        You think so? Asking for a friend...

      2. FFPro
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        It has to be. It's clear as day. I can't believe why it hasn't been given already.

  25. SpaceCadet
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    So pogba > hazard worked out well

    1. Andy Mac
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Brave! Fair play!!

    2. Patch
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Erm...sorry pal but Pogba gonna unleash a Hattie...I wish

    3. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Ah was looking to see if you'd post. You should make more drunken transfers!

      1. SpaceCadet
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Haha I know! Now auba > Jesus cap ftw

        1. Twisted Saltergater
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 17 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          The Jesus bit was the best part of that double transfer, imo. It's going to be a very smooth week for you 🙂

          1. SpaceCadet
            • 12 Years
            7 years, 5 months ago

            Think Jesus might be benched tomorrow but will unleash his wrath against Everton

  26. Patch
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Which player more important to get in?

    Son
    Aub

    1. Andy Mac
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Both. Simples

    2. Amey
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Auba based on fixture next gw

    3. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Probably the one you'd captain in GW27, ideally have both by then anyway.

  27. DR0GBA
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Sterling + Sane + Ings > Son + Jota + Auba (-4)

    Good transfers? I'll wait until later next week to make them

    A) Yes
    B) No

    It means I'm getting 3 players who will play in 27 and removing 3 who probably won't if Ings is injured..

    1. Amey
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Maverick.
      Could easily pay off though.

      1. DR0GBA
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Sterling and Sane against Chelsea could go either way tbf but think the players i'm getting in will pay off possibly this week and long term

  28. pakornk
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Dont get why people are selling Pogba?

    1. FC Hakkebøf
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      To make room for Son (or as a part of getting in Auba)

      Too much value for me to throw away though, as I got him in at 7.8

    2. Patch
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      To afford Aub and Son...

  29. FC Hakkebøf
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    I love how people who decided to Sell Haz before the hud game now complains and calls him a troll because he scored a brace. He was playing argueably the worst team in the league. It was not the right time to sell him. End of story. Really

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Yep, we all knew the risks.

      1. FC Hakkebøf
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Recognize! :d

        1. Twisted Saltergater
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 17 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          I don't even think he's a troll. He's just playing back in his preferred position against the worst team in the PL.

          1. FC Hakkebøf
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 5 months ago

            I agree. Would have been a troll had he blanked today and hauled vs City.

  30. Andy Mac
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    FPL stats showing Rich is rising! Hahahaha

    1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…

      Double gameweek

      1. Andy Mac
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Too late for that now!

        1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Transfers from the morning

          1. Andy Mac
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 5 months ago

            Ahh gotcha! Fair point. Forgot about that factor.
