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:

      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Samee

  12. BobbyDoesNotLook
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    3 years, 8 months ago

    Fk I hate these random 50-50 decisions where I choose guy with 1p over a guy with 8p.

    Neco XI managers support group needed.

    1. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Neco had 2 SOTs and lost cleanie very late just unlucky

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

        Yep not a bad decision though I heard Andreas was excellent.

  13. Arteta
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    This team has crazy potential.

    1. Sad Pablo Arsecobar
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Jesus our saviour

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

    Really got to the bite the bullet and get Martinelli. Looks like he’s more than a flash in the pan

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

    Didn't captain Jesus..
    I need a SOFAAA!

  16. camarozz
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Almost Saka tap in. But it's not coz I have him.

  17. Silecro
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Jesus c already a good decision

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

      Because he has one point?

  18. Baines on Toast...
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    10 player game. Bigger pricing error than Lundstrsm

    1. ☈☾
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      More like 4 player game

  19. Total Slotball
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Is Scott Parker wearing his granny’s cardigan?

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

    In a way it’s a shame city are just so good. As in a pre city era it feels like 3-4 teams could genuinely compete for the title

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

    Martinelli assist?

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

      Aye

    2. La Roja
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Yeah

  22. Cilly Bonnolly
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    For the first time ever I think, every single person in my minileague owns a particular player. Since I haven’t captained him I really could do with Jesus keeping quiet. Not likely is it? 😆

  23. DycheDycheBaby
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Jesus deserves an assist for that! Where are our points? He is on fire 😀
