The highest-owned player in recent Fantasy Premier League (FPL) history takes to the field this evening.

Gabriel Jesus’ ownership passed 80% ahead of the Gameweek 3 deadline and he is part of an unchanged Arsenal side that takes on Bournemouth tonight.

Kick-off at the Vitality Stadium is at 17:30 BST.

If we go back to pre-season, this is the fifth match in a row that Mikel Arteta has named the same starting XI.

The likes of Emile Smith Rowe, Takehiro Tomiyasu, Kieran Tierney and Eddie Nketiah are warming the bench again, then, although the quick turnaround in Gameweeks 4-6 could offer some of them starting opportunities.

Bournemouth boss Scott Parker is still without star striker Dominic Solanke, who misses out with an ankle issue.

Parker makes three changes from the defeat at Manchester City last week, with Marcos Senesi, Jordan Zemura and Philip Billing replacing Lewis Cook, Jack Stacey and Ryan Christie.

There is plenty of FPL interest elsewhere, with Gabriel Martinelli now sitting in 40% of squads. Only Mohamed Salah is more widely selected among Fantasy midfielders.

Oleksandr Zinchenko is the fifth most-owned FPL defender, meanwhile, a fixture in over 28% of teams.

Despite the unprecedented ownership levels, Jesus is still not the most-captained player of the week:

  22. lindeg
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    If you didn’t captain Jesus, then you are actually happy that the goal is dissallowed

    1. Totalfootball
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

  24. JohnnyCroat
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Looks like most ppl have the majority playing the final 4 games this weekend. Wild! I've like 3 defenders playing after today so guessing that decent green will be less decent by Monday night.

  25. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Tomiyasu to bring the best out of Saka now

  26. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    C'mon Saka, do something!

  27. Feloh
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Martinelli was underwhelming today.

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      ESR time?

    2. Khark
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Cant perform every week ... and he's 6m.

    3. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Yep but still incredible value.

      8,8,6 for £6.0m is a joke!

    4. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Same every game imo. Lacks composure, wastes many chanches.

      1. POGON 1948
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        think that ESR kid should get a run out, that's a real talent

  28. jacob1989
    • 4 Years
