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:

      1. Zalk
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        I mean, something's up here. Both Perisic and Kane getting magic bps from somewhere at the end.

    3. All Hail K
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Guess scoring the game's only goal had a bit of impact.

  7. Nanoelektronicar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

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

      Going Neto + Saka over Martinelli + Kulusevski ruined my season. cya in 2023

      1. Nanoelektronicar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

  14. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years

    Come oooon Bournemouth !!!

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

    I genuinely think Salah is going to get a brace or a hat trick against Bournemouth at home.

    1. Stimps
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      We thought that too with Haaland

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

      Upvoted.

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

      TC? 😉

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

      If he scores 5, people delete their teams.

    5. Forza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Bold!

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

        From what I have seen today, Bournemouth are a championship level team.

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

    Another off target Ramsdale save 😀

  17. Egg noodle
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Odegaard or Martinelli? Need to get one in tonight.

  18. TomSaints
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    What a huge disappointment. Terrible start continues.

    I’m sure there’s some Jammy sod with Saliba, Odegaaed and Jesus

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

    Saka -> Martinelli no brainer?

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

      Tough because Saka could do the business GW4.

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

        I'm afraid I get stuck because of this mentality... What if?

    2. Paul Psychic Octopus
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      To him or Odegaard, yes.

      Saka is on pens though, supposedly.

      Martinelli might share more minutes with ASR now the latter is fit.

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

        I hear "Saka is on pens" in my nightmares

  20. Paul Psychic Octopus
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    So on Sky it's no longer Man of the Match but 'Player' of the Match.

    Have I missed something? Is it now a mixed game? When did that happen?

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

      We live in an age where it's offensive to call Men's Football a "men's game" so

      1. Paul Psychic Octopus
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Well in The Hundred cricket, it's 'The Hundred Mens' and 'The Hundred Womens'

    2. Zalk
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Since there's not much to worry about in the world today, might as well spend some on that.

    3. tambourineman
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      The term 'man of the match' become a registered trademark a few years back so I think TV companies and competition organisers generally avoid using the term wherever possible.

  21. Ninja Škrtel
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Jesus (C) fail 🙁

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

      Thanks for waiting until the end of the game to tell us tho...

    2. The Ilfordian
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Same, unlucky today.

    3. The Philosopher
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Unlucky. Could've had double digits

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

    Survived doubting Jesus...

    Not sure how he only got 4!

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

    Oh god, we're actually going to win the league aren't we. COYG!

  24. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Early days but… Iversen >> Ramsey? 1.3m ITB.

    Ward
TAA Cancelo James Cucurella
Salah Mount Martinelli Groß
Haaland Jesus
    (Iversen, Andreas, Neco, Archer)

  25. PogChamp
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Ramsdale looking like a decent pick. Don't usually do £5m keepers but happy so far.

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

      All the defenders being good options make him a bit annoying but you're right.

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

    Need a monster haul from Haaland (C)

  27. boombaba
    • 13 Years

    Squeaky bum time for Jesus captainers

    1. Berkshire Hafaway-Line
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      What if you also have Salah and Haaland? Both have EO

      1. Berkshire Hafaway-Line
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        EO less than 100

  28. Nightf0x

    Rams
    Wlaker taa james (janson neco)

    D) bailey mbeumo -4 to gross 5.5 fwd.
    E) mbeumo mount -4 to toney gross

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 6 Years

      1. Nightf0x
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Ik just initial thoughts

  29. pundit of punts
    • 13 Years

    Perfect outcome as a Salah capper and saliba Owner

    White gets a BAP for being the weakest ARS link
