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

  6. Smoky Johnson

      True that

    2. Piggs Boson

      Best way to play. You take the highs and shrug off the lows 🙂

    3. Debauchy

    Would love to see palace relegated tbh, Brighton fans would be having the year of they're lives too

    1. The Tinkerman
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      They'd be one of the most talented sides to be relegated with the likes of Zaha, Townsend, Cabaye and Benteke. Never understood the rivalry with Brighton.

      1. Stats Don\'t Lie
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Would be funny though, don't think itd be fair on Hull to get relegated after that Sunderland showing...

    The chips have ruined FPL.

    There, I said it!

    1. El-Kloppico
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Yep. 2 WC were just enough.

      1. ThisTimeNxtYrRodney
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years

        I'm with you preferred it before chips. 2 wildcards best.

      2. Venom Snake
        • 12 Years

        January WC days.. fantastic

    2. Sims

      I used my BB in gw 1 so didn't have worry about it down the line

    3. Jafooli

      Agree...

    4. the snazzy viking

      Not Wildcard and TC though, they can stay

    5. andymck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      I like them personally.

    6. Steve
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Never used aoa and can't see when I ever will. Actually that's a lie used it the first season when mahrez was benched and I ended up with 1 point def being subbed on in his place

    7. Jordan.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      that 2nd w/c is the chief culprit

    8. The Tinkerman
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      BB is way over rated, and AOA is more or less useless unless you have 3 injured/banned defenders.

  21. Give The Todd Some Love
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Bundesliga has been phenomenal this year, Hoffenheim and Leipzig are always so entertaining

    1. Ben the Mee
        8 years, 7 months ago

        As exciting as it is, Bayern have won it 5 years in a row now. Just as bad as the Italian league in predictability.

        1. Give The Todd Some Love
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          League is more than a title though. Race for relegation and CL has been engrossing all season, half the league was up for relegation a couple of weeks ago.

    2. Dreams
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      I think ligue 1 would be as interesting as PL in a year or two. The future of the league looks bright.

      1. Give The Todd Some Love
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        France producing talent faster than anywhere else in the world atm

        1. Dreams
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Yes. And there are also new owners incoming. Can't wait to see biesla take over at Lille.

          1. Give The Todd Some Love
            • 14 Years
            8 years, 7 months ago

            Yeah that'll go one of two ways lol. Marseille will be interesting as well.

            1. Dreams
              • 8 Years
              8 years, 7 months ago

              Yep. It's the only league which I can watch without paying extra money here in India. Hope it will be worth it.

      2. InSaneMan-e
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        I would agree
        However the problem is that PSG the only ones who have the financial might to hold onto all their talent.

        1. Dreams
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Not really mate. Marseille and Lille also have rich owners.

        2. Give The Todd Some Love
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Monaco's youth runs deeper than this season's starting XI. They will be dangerous for years I think.

    3. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      What made Moyes so successful at Preston and Everton; but not United, Sociedad, and Sunderland?

      1. Jafooli
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Baines

        1. Piggs Boson
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          He tried hard to get him at United too. You've figured him out 😯

          1. Malcolm Tucker for England …
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            8 years, 7 months ago

            would've got him if he'd not dicked about with the Fellaini buy out clause

      2. how now brown cow
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Sunderland squad is genuinely awful.

          One of the worst I've ever seen.

          Watching the game now, stadium is empty and game being played in Sunderland half. They can't get out. And seem to want to try and get out. Hideous performance

        United were too big a club for him. Sociedad he can't speak Spanish. Sunderland are just rubbish.

          Just wondering, always happy with the pints in he bag personally.
          Sanchez looks the main threat now to us maybe Kane

        King Stannis bringing me 19pts.

        The Lord of Cherries has blessed him today. For the game is red and full of pips.

          Jesus/Sane owner too?

            Jesus (C), no Sane.

            Also own Stones,Stephens & Holgate. But let's not think about that...

              Seems Sane/King cancel each other out somewhat, tried for both but went Cech/Albrighton over King/Pickford.

                Nice rank HVT! Yeah, it seems like fair trade.

                I took over my team when it was at 75k, thanks to the community, but thanks to my amazing leadership, it's now below 100k 😆

                Need a good GW to finish on 5 figures.
