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

    Gabbiadini to Long was an obvious transfer. Not sure what the owners were thinking.

  15. Lav
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Well this is going to be a bad week...

  16. Rainer
    • 9 Years

    anyone getting their hopes up with swansea scoring 2 early vs sunderland?

  23. Somalion
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Sunderland players in a bit of a pickle. One/two of them are PL capable and I'm not sure how many of them would even be decent Championship players.

  24. Syd.
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    I wish people would stop whinging

    The thing that makes FPL good is the unpredictable nature of the results / scorers / assisters

    If it went as planned every week it would be as boring as hell

    1. Chelsea Dagger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      This

    2. Tommy J
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Totally agree and everyone has bad luck at some stage-evens out

    3. Somalion
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Agree. Just wish it was unpredictable while the football was good, instead of it being unpredictable because the football is crap

      Destroyed the Sunderland defence

  30. F4L

    Holding likely to start today?

    1. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Probably

    2. Pariße
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Not in my opinion. If Koscielny is fit, Gibbs should keep his place.
