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:

    My fellow non Jesus owners must be really happy

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

    2. gart888
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      As a non capper: quite happy.
      As a non owner: I'd be really questioning why I don't have him...

      1. Ingstagram
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        I'm also questioning that

      Sure am
      Tough watch though
      Stuck with the shadow of last season's Saka

  4. DRIZ ✅

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

    Between Xhaka & Ramsdale they'll find a way to concede here.

  6. FPL Scoop

    DaSilva do anything good today? Or was he a fluke

    1. DRIZ ✅
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Fluke today

    2. Feloh
      • 9 Years

    3. FOO FIGHTER
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Dasilva is going to rise.

      Bailey is dropping

      1. @persecuted_by_mods
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Did Bailey bully you in school or summat?

          1. FOO FIGHTER
            • 6 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            He will blank GW4 and is dropping

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

              This has to be a bot

              1. @persecuted_by_mods
                  3 years, 8 months ago

                  I think ragabolly set it up but it malfunctioned and started only focussing on Bailey

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

                    Now he doesn't even want to 'fess up.

                    It's A'I'

            2. Haalander
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 5 Years
              3 years, 8 months ago

              Lol really looks like it!

        • dshv
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Asking the same

          1. FOO FIGHTER
            • 6 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            He will play GW4 again but should be on your bench like he is on mine.

            1. AC/DC AFC
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 10 Years
              3 years, 8 months ago

              Please let's not do this again.

              It's spam, ham and cheese

              1. FOO FIGHTER
                • 6 Years
                3 years, 8 months ago

                What is your rank at the moment with Bailey?

                1. George Sillett
                  • 10 Years
                  3 years, 8 months ago

                  Just STFU . You are very boring with this utter rubbish you relentlessly post. Do you not realise what an utter idiot you have made of yourself?

                2. Randaxus
                  • 5 Years
                  3 years, 8 months ago

                  You should captain Da Silva every week and see what happens

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

          Surely people didnt expect a guy who scored 2 from 0.11xG to keep firing

      2. Rains of Castamere
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Is Jesus now RW? Not watching...

        1. @persecuted_by_mods
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Been CDM for about 30 minutes

          • DRIZ ✅
            • 14 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Playing behind Nkeitiah

          camsdale

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

          Camera Ramsdale at it again.

          No save in FPL!

          1. gart888
            • 11 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Feel like it's just coming late.

            1. gart888
              • 11 Years
              3 years, 8 months ago

              Maybe not. FPL so stingy on giving out saves these days.

        4. Duke Silver ☑
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Ramsdale wasn't going to let that one get away. What a poser 😆

          1. Zoostation
            • 11 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Clean sheet would be good

        5. GoonerGirl
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Please keep a clean sheet here Arsenal.

          Top of the table boys! C'mon the Arsenal!

        7. Thanos
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Really need an attacking return from Zinchenko! Let's give it a go man!

          1. FOO FIGHTER
            • 6 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            I hope he gets a goal too!

            1. Thanos
              • 4 Years

              Yesss!!

        9. gart888
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          A: Cucurella + Diaz
          or
          B: Robertson + Rodrigo

          1. syke63
            • 12 Years

            A if you have Trent

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

          Yep same FPL different season. Jesus as my captain. Salah was guaranteed a hat trick as soon as I took the captaincy off him.

          1. syke63
            • 12 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Big thanks from Salah captainers.

        12. The Bandit
          • 15 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Better teams than Bournemouth would have had success against this Arsenal defence

          1. Unliklinho
            • 12 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Agreed. I don't think Arsenal are as defensively solid as Spurs.

          2. George Sillett
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            My son and I were just discussing this

          3. Nate(U)dog(ie)
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Ramsdale has looked shaky in every game so far this season

            1. Over Midwicket
              • 14 Years
              3 years, 8 months ago

              Still racking up the cleans.

          4. Drip Doctor
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 15 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Easy to say. You could also say they are playing in 2nd gear.

        13. Paqueta Rice
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Get a bonus Gabriel go on

        14. GoonerGirl
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          I love Jesus and would still prefer he wasn't offside there but in an FPL sense, pretty much everyone has captained him in my Mini league, whereas I went Salah.

        15. Drip Doctor
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Is Ramsdale not on 3 saves now?

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

            Camera on was off target.

            Last one wasn't considered a shot.

            1. gart888
              • 11 Years
              3 years, 8 months ago

              Still seems harsh to not give him *either* of those.

          2. gart888
            • 11 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            He is by my count!

        16. Over Midwicket
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Henderson or Ramsdale as a keeper til GW8 WC? Can't look past Henderson's ridiculous save total..

          1. DRIZ ✅
            • 14 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Forest will concede lots soon

        17. DRIZ ✅
          • 14 Years

          Wow jesus sitter

        18. _Ninja_
          • 15 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Jesus big chance missed.

        19. @persecuted_by_mods
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Jesus sitter missed, would have been Xhaka assist

            • 16 Years

            Is Arsenal defense essential? Looks like is a rank killer atm with all those Ramsdale, Saliba and Zinchenko owners

            1. FPL Daniel
              • 16 Years
              3 years, 8 months ago

              I don’t have anyone that’s why I am asking

            • 14 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            A) Dunk & Perisic
            B) Cucarella & Walker (-4)

          • Paqueta Rice
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Jesus should score. Would have been Xhaka assist again!
