After Man City edged past Leicester at the Etihad, we now focus our attentions on a trio of 3pm encounters.

Bournemouth’s in-form Josh King collides with a Burnley defence that’s conceded at least twice in three of their last four league matches.

Owned by 19% of FPL managers, the Norwegian has racked up 11 goals and a pair of assists in the previous 13 Gameweeks to climb into eighth spot in the midfield standings.

Sunderland play the first match of their Double Gameweek 37 as Swansea City make their way to Wearside.

In what may well be his final home outing for the Black Cats, Jermain Defoe has been captained by just over 44,000 FPL managers, with a midweek trip to the Emirates also on his agenda.

With their survival on the line, Gylfi Sigurdsson and Fernando Llorente will be vital for the Swans today.

Still owned by 10% of FPL managers, the Icelandic international has a goal and assist in his previous three, while Llorente was snapped up by almost 44,000 new owners after netting against Stoke and Everton over the same period.

Southampton also get the first of their Double Gameweek 37 matches underway. Jack Stephens owners are left disappointed as he drops to the bench, while Manolo Gabbiadini misses out altogether as Claude Puel attempts to improve a run that has seen the Saints fail to score in four of their last five league outings.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    Don't know about you guys but my BB is Willy, Kane, Jesus, Hazard. Would have benched them without BB 😎

    1. Yellin' in my Ear
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Willy, Kane, Alli, Eriksen

  6. Ravager

    Another trite round of 3 p.m. kick offs. Why do we think they struggle so badly? And it isn't just because it's the business end of the season. Been like this for months.

  7. Tim Canterbury
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    This is getting comical now

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      It is if you have no bench boost 😛

  8. Sess!

    In hindsight anichibe was a silly move, but given gabbiandi was alternative no point worrying about it.

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      It's all about the £2.3m! Wouldn't change it.

      1. Sess!
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Yep

    2. Lawrø
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      And in foresight

    3. dvdguy
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Whoever picked Okazaki is a genius

      1. Sess!
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Didn't even consider it. How much?

    4. Qubit
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      I still think it was a fair move. most likely 3 points lost.

    5. Pompel
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      IT actually wasn't - who were the altertives? Costa £10.5 - 2pts (to be rested against Watford), Lukaku £10.1 - 2 pts ? THe £6 gained will pay off from other player's scores.
      The really bad move was sticking with Hazard.

  21. Differentiator
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    I wonder if I bought Stephens for a -4 for 0 points...

    1. Puntillimon
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

    1. Ravager
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago
