Bournemouth take on Fulham in the Monday night Premier League game.

Kick-off at the Vitality Stadium is at 20:00 BST.

There’s just the one change from Andoni Iraola following Bournemouth’s 2-2 draw at West Ham United last week.

Marcos Senesi replaces Ilia Zabarnyi at the back.

There’s still no Justin Kluivert but Marcus Tavernier is back among the substitutes.

The Fulham team news is nice and easy: the Cottagers are unchanged.

LINE-UPS

Bournemouth XI: Arrizabalaga; Smith, Senesi, Huijsen, Kerkez; Cook, Adams; Semenyo, Scott, Ouattara; Evanilson.

Subs: Dennis, Brooks, Tavernier, Soler, Jebbison, Araujo, Zabarnyi, Winterburn.

Fulham XI: Leno; Castagne, Andersen, Bassey, Robinson; Berge, Lukic; Sessegnon, Pereira, Iwobi; Muniz.

Subs: Benda, Tete, Reed, Jimenez, Cairney, Traore, Cuenca, Willian, Smith Rowe.

    Ohh God....after weeks of frustration, Huijsen is going to get a CS sitting third on my bench

    Main rival started Kerkez and benched Saliba… Obviously!

      Correct decision

    Robinson can get out of my team now

    My starting GK and 3 playing defenders = 6 points

    My sub GK and 2 benched defenders = 30 points

    This game…

      I actually wouldn’t be surprised to see fpl change it next season so that you pick an XI and that’s it.

      Only if you play BB do you get to pick another 4 players

        Blimey. 9 here on BB, with two Palace to go.

        BB is always a damp squib for me.

    BB32 looked so obvious as well. 2 at home to Leicester, 1 at home to Everton and 1 at home to Fulham. Should have been a 20 pointer, not bleddy 12.

  11. Mighty Duck
    • 1 Year
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Ofc the first BOU CS since GW24 and Kerkez's 7-pointer right after getting rid of him.

    One week punt:

    Mbeumo to KDB on a free?

    1. RUUD!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Do it

  14. RUUD!
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Without sounding like I’m wishing this season away, I’d like to hear people’s opinions on next year player prices. What are we thinking for the big boys?

    Salah 14.0
    Haaland 13.0
    Saka 10.5
    Palmer 10.0
    Trent 6.5
    Bruno 8.5
    Isak 9.5
    Mbeumo 8.0

    1. have you seen cyan
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Salah 13.0
      Haaland 13.0
      Saka 10.5
      Palmer 10.0
      Trent 6.5 - gone?
      Bruno 9.5
      Isak 10.5
      Mbeumo 9.0

      Rogers - 8.0

      1. RUUD!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        1 year, 1 month ago

        Interesting, Salah be more than 13 surely? And Mbeumo at 9.0 seems very steep

        1. have you seen cyan
          • 6 Years
          1 year, 1 month ago

          I think they will just decide to balance Haaland and Salah out taking into account other seasons.

          9 seems cheap for Mbeumo still imo, he should be 9.5 lol

      2. TallestJohn
        • 9 Years
        1 year, 1 month ago

        Absolutely no chance of Rogers 8, especially relative to the first four on your list. Bowen was only 7.5 this season after 16G 6A the previous campaign, being his team's talisman, captain and penalty taker. Rogers will be 6.5 or 7.

        I'd like them to go with your Isak and Mbeumo prices but I think they'll be cheaper.

        1. have you seen cyan
          • 6 Years
          1 year, 1 month ago

          Yea you are probably right. They increase the price of mid's pretty slowly most of the time.

    2. F4L
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      would move all of the them bar taa, bruno, mbeumo up 0.5. but think thats about right. i just hope they dont end up under-pricing the premiums because of the their respective poor forms at the end of this season.

      haaland is the really interesting one imo, i dont think 15mil was too much based on his first season and the bps changes for this season. so if City come back strong, anything under 14 might end up being a bargain but is what it is

    3. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Salah 15.0
      Haaland 14.0
      Saka 11
      Palmer 9.5
      Trent Real Madrid
      Bruno 8.5
      Isak 10
      Mbeumo 8.5

    4. x.jim.x
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      +2m for everybody except Trent who’ll be stinking it up in Madrid

    5. Yes Ndidi
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Same as now, but everybody has to buy a manager (3-5m) for the season from the same budget.

    6. TallestJohn
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Salah 14.5
      Håland 14.5
      Saka 11
      Palmer 10.5
      Trent 7
      Bruno 8.5
      Isak 10
      Mbeumo 8

      Salah 14.0

    Told myself I wouldn’t FH on a blank week this season after 2 years of FH fails and would save it for a double or an interesting punt week - anyone else still with FH left thinking of saving it and not using it in 34?

    For me I’d have 3FT for 34 to get to a decent playing 10 and squad I’d be happy enough with or potentially a hit for full 11

    A. Good idea to save FH for potential double 36 or some fun in 38
    B. Use FH and save the transfers for other weeks

    1. Yes Ndidi
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Using it in 33, if I can find 11 worth having that'll definitely play.
      I pity the ones that had to stick a pin in Villa & Arsenal assets 2 or 3 weeks ago.

    2. TallestJohn
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      In your case I prefer A, although you'll probably need the doubles to happen to make it worth it. I'm locked into FH34, I'll only have 4-5 players and 1FT.

      I don't think it's a given that FH in a blank GW is a waste at all. In GW29 I fielded a full XI with hits but Palmer didn't turn up, I had no bench and if I'd used FH I definitely would've had Bruno Fernandes who had a big score. Not to mention the points I'd already missed going without Mateta and Muñoz through their purple patch because they blanked in 29.

      I think the infamous low-scoring FH in BGW29 last season was a special case. There were only four games and most backed all the wrong players, non-FH hit teams generally scored lowly too. There are eight games in the upcoming GW34, plenty of choice and chances to go differential.

    3. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      I think FH34 is quite decent given the fixtures
      Allows you to load up on players facing the worst teams just for one week i.e. Wolves, Fulham, Newcastle, Bournemouth and Everton assets

  16. Rwilliams90

    Kerkez saving my BB. Difficult to predict where your points will come from this season.

    1. Rico123
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      I’ve decided I dislike Bb! Haven’t played mine yet - pulled out of planned one this week based on minutes uncertainty to save it a week (which was right call as it would have landed me 6 points from 4 on paper good players) but unless there is a week where you can get 15 doublers or close to that then it’s a complete lottery given 3 of the 4 boosting players will be cheaper defenders and a gk and their points are so erratic. I think next year I’ll just go early when I have the opportunity to have 15 likely starters or a benching headache rather than waiting

      1. Rwilliams90
        • 14 Years
        1 year, 1 month ago

        I don't think I've ever had considerable success on it. Think it's best just to get it out of the way in a week where you have a decent bench rather than planning for it in advance. It's ruined my season previously with injuries etc leading up to a planned BB.

        1. Rwilliams90
          • 14 Years
          1 year, 1 month ago

          Could have been so much better if Forest didn't concede late and Enzo scored that sitter though.

    3-1 NEW v PAL prediction.
    Sarr(A) for EZE(G)

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      The outcome

      Barnes hattrick and still noone picks him

      1. Cheeky Reijnders
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 3 Years
        1 year, 1 month ago

        Yeah, he's on fire and will steel the show. I don't have him, ha.

      2. Benedict_Alexander_Arnold

        Who is Noone

        1. Fitzy.
          • 14 Years
          1 year, 1 month ago

          Noone thinks this is that funny

    2. have you seen cyan
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      You forgot the 3 attacking returns for Barnes.

      1. Cheeky Reijnders
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 3 Years
        1 year, 1 month ago

        True. Because I don't have him I guess 🙂

    3. _Ninja_
      • 15 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Last season's game at St james was 4-0, Isak was benched, Wilson scored. I think Murphy did as well.

      1. Cruyff's Eleven
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Newcastle Away - toothless

  18. DA Minnion (Former great)

    Bench boostable ?
    Martinez Raya
    Saliba Digne Munoz Livra Gvardiol
    Saka Salah Kdb Sarr Rogers
    Mamoush Mateta Wissa

    This would be my team if I did Ramsey and Isak to Kdb and Wissa for free.
    Should I go for it?

    1. _Ninja_
      • 15 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Yeah i would
