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:

    Jesus is on another planet atm

      Pep looking to buy him back I heard!

      Let’s see what he can do against teams who can defend

      1. Random Name
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        he has 4 goals against Liverpool in 6 starts?

        1. @persecuted_by_mods
            3 years, 4 months ago

            He said teams that can defend

              • 9 Years
              3 years, 4 months ago

              This is even funnier than Random Name’s reply lol

      2. George Sillett
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        It's Bournemouth mate. Context

    3. HNI
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Never thought Arsenal triple up was good idea. Heck even one was risk since Sanchez days. Club has come a long way thanks to Turkish Pep.

      1. gart888
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Still feel like a triple up of their attackers is a bit much, but Jesus, Martinelli are ridiculously underpriced, and lot of their defenders are good value too.

    4. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years

      Salah captain and I am behind the sofa

      Odegaard sellers LOL

    8. gart888
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Why do dozens of people feel the need to post about a goal as soon as they see it? Most of us are watching the game, and those that aren't probably aren't coming here for their updates.

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

        Salty much?

        1. gart888
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Not at all, it's just bad forum content.

      2. Gubby-Allen
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        It's 2-0 now.

        1. gart888
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Thanks for the update!

        What's the score ars bou again ?

      4. @persecuted_by_mods
          3 years, 4 months ago

          How do you know that most are watching? And how do you know who is coming for an update or not? This updates faster than any other site that's for sure

        • George Sillett
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Disagree. Many do come on here for updates. A lot a people don't have access to all the games

      5. Andy_Social
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Already next week's captain choice is going to be very difficult.

      6. krzys
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Nothing from Saka again

      7. Puntillimon
        • 10 Years

        Arsenal is the only genuine threat to city this season

        1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

      10. FPL Daniel
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Mark was saying Odegard is the one to get.

        I don’t get it how come people are still doubting him after all these years

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

          Did he get him though? Counts for little otherwise

        2. @persecuted_by_mods
            3 years, 4 months ago

            Did he get him?

              • 9 Years
              3 years, 4 months ago

              Depends what follows. Think Salah braces Monday at a minimum if I’m brutally honest

            5. Sgt. Schultz
              • 9 Years

            Classic FPL, I chose Odegaard to start the season and he's as dangerous as a packet of soggy crisps. Then I decide to get Martinelli like everyone else due to form and price rises, then than Norwegian troll turns into flipping Frank Lampard!
