Saturday’s events end at St Mary’s with Manchester City the visitors to Southampton.

From a Fantasy perspective, it will be the Saints under scrutiny given that they offer us a pair of double Gameweeks to come.

Manolo Gabbiadini’s display will be the main focus with the Italian striker making his return from a groin problem after missing the last three Gameweek outings. Gabbiadini has scored four goals in his first three outings prior to the setback at Spurs in Gameweek 29.

The likes of Dusan Tadic and Nathan Redmond will also be assessed, while Maya Yoshida and Jack Stephens are also set to be key transfer targets in the coming weeks ahead of the first double-header in Gameweek 36.

For City, Sergio Aguero goes into this evening’s contest backed by 417,000 (9.4%) with the armband having scored in his last four Gameweek starts. John Stones misses out the visitors with Pep Guardiola confirming an injury pre-match.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    I'm such an idiot for not taking a hit to do Kun to Kane.

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

    4. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

    Who do I need for the rest of the season, Kane or Ibra.

    1. Whazza
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

    2. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

    1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      No. Need him to stay off

  12. TorresMagic™
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Not bad for no players, 0-0 HT

    1. Numb
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Long way to go

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        For sure.

  13. Lizard Lips
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Silva misses sitter for Kun assist. Kun misses 2 early big chances. Destiny.

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Should have done the -12?

      1. Lizard Lips
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah, or the -8. Knew I should have. Last 2 times I've done it it's backfired, this time it would have worked a treat. Just goes to show I'm never going to get a top 1k. Hey ho, last season as I can't play this game I'm awful at it.

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          You are awful yet top 5K?

          1. Lizard Lips
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Amongst the elite like you and Mark. You guys have been making great decisions tactics, I seem to be around top 1k most seasons until last 8 gameweeks where my tactics are awful. I mean, no Kane and playing Barnes, doesn't get worse than that!

            1. TorresMagic™
              • Has Moderation Rights
              • 16 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              I've only made top 1K once. You knew the Kane wagon and avoided it. Still 5 GWs to easily finish top 1K.

              1. Lizard Lips
                • 13 Years
                9 years, 1 month ago

                Would be a dream, made too many mistakes. Good luck brother 🙂

  14. Differentiator
    • 10 Years

    Anyone else looking very closely at Lukaku -> Ibra?

    1. Jazz!
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Yes

      1. Differentiator
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Scared of Lukaku vs WHam though. WHam just lost their key linchpin in their backline to a red card late on 😐

        1. Sim Simma
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Byram..you've got to be kidding

          1. Differentiator
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

    2. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years

    3. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Likely my FT this GW

    4. Numb
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Possibly.

    5. Frank Koscielny
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Yes and the form vs fixture is yet again killing me

    6. drughi

      yes

    7. Chris_H
      • 16 Years

    8. @fpl_phenom
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I'm looking at Kun and Costa to kane and Ibra to make the holy trinity of LuKaneIvic

  15. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
    • 16 Years

    Kun limping off

    1. La Roja

    • 13 Years

    Aguero deos look hampered the calf is a problem area for him if i remember correctly

    1. Pep says
      • 10 Years

      1. Whazza

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      1. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        not to a rival though!

  19. Pep says
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Bench boost next week?

    Grant (swa) Siggy (STO) Mawson (STO) Britos (hul)

    1. Please Help I Don't Kn…
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Siggy out though.

    2. Ógie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Na better have 3 DGW players on the bench for that

  20. Ravager
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Jaku (Foster)
    Alonso Walker Fernandez (Nyom Funes*)
    Sanchez Siggy King Alli (De Roon)
    Kane Lukaku Llorente

    Thinking of WC'ing this bunch. 3 Swansea players, No DGW 34 players etc. What say you guys?

    1. Pep says
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Go for it

      1. Pep says
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        You have to WC at so me point. Holding out til 36 with a team like that is pointless

        1. Ravager
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Exactly. Who knows where I might be in my ML. The benefit is so many of my rivals have already used theirs. So it's an advantage regardless

    2. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Reply fail
      Llorente -> Gabby, Siggy to Sane/Theo

    3. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Siggy to zaha/ Townsend
      Lukaku to ibra

      1. Ravager
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks for the replies. Just think it'll benefit me more now than later

  21. Viper
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Who do I bench from this lot next week? One of them has to be benched

    Coutinho (CRY) Sigurdsson (STO) King (MID) Alli (cry) Lukaku (whm)

    1. Pep says
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Siggy based on form

    2. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Siggy

  22. GE
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Clichy probably the best way of getting into City-def for GW37?

  23. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Llorente -> Gabby, Siggy to Sane/Theo

  24. OnlyMessiCanJudgeMe
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Zaha or King ?

    Go for the poor double game week or go with good fixtures.

    1. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      They both blanked today

      1. Whazza
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        So?

      2. OnlyMessiCanJudgeMe
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah but are both still in form. Im taking out Lanzini who also blanked.

    2. Viper
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Zaha

    3. Whazza
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Zaha

  25. diesel001
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Going to be annoyed if Yoshida gets 6+ points again. Will be 3 weeks in a row on my bench!

  26. Pierce34
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    I bet Pep brings on Sterling and Nolito at HT for Aguero and Sane to officially make this my worst gameweek ever.

  27. karvs155
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Sanchez diomande to Zaha Ibra -4?

    1. Pierce34
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Yes

    2. Viper
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      If you have a WC yes.

      If not, it's 50/50

      1. karvs155
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I have wc

  28. Viper
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Sorry about second post in quick succession..

    Grant - > Valdes a good FT?

    1. Differentiator
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Thought about it. Then thought NAH. Boro will concede in 1 of the two games.

      1. Viper
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I'll probably save my FT otherwise.

        Isn't Butland back now?

        1. Differentiator
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Yeah but Valdes = Valdonk

          He'll be crap beyond next week.

          1. Viper
            • 16 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            WC in gwk 36 so not too fussed

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Yes, I reckon that was Grants last start!

    3. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      For 1 week yes, Butland was on the bench,so his days are numbered

      1. Viper
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I'll be wildcard in gwk 36 so it wouldn't be long term.

        Thanks

    4. Chris_H
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Yes, if Butland's on the bench this week I expect him back in the first xi next

    5. nkhoughton
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Yes

    6. The Head-Ake
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Don't ever be sorry for stuff like that. Yes, tis' a good shout

  29. GE
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Sane or Son for the rest if the season from GW35?
    (have Alli and Kane)

    1. d3bug
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Sane

  30. :
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Here's the front eight you want to be wildcarding in and bench boosting in GW37 if ppg means anything (money no object of course).

    Sanchez - Hazard - Alli - Eriksen - Ozil

    Kane - Ibra - Costa

    That's right, Ozil! 😯

    1. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      No one can afford that

      1. :
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        "money no object of course"

        It's Ozil that has me agog.
