Dugout Discussion – Southampton vs Arsenal

6,213 Comments
Share

Gameweek 36 finally comes to an end this evening as Southampton entertain Arsenal at St Mary’s.

Alexis Sanchez will again be the focus of most managers’ attentions. Sitting in over 27% of FPL squads, the Chilean was the most captained player (11.2%) in the round of fixtures but a blank at home to Man United in his first match of Double Gameweek 36 means he has now netted just once in seven league appearances.

Meanwhile, his team-mate Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain looks to add to a pair of assists in the 2-0 weekend win over Jose Mourinho’s side. The Gunners’ wing-back has been drafted in by over 15,000 FPL managers this week for a Double Gameweek 37 against Stoke and Sunderland.

For the Saints, Manolo Gabbiadini was the fourth most transferred in player ahead of last week’s deadline, with over 108,000 taking the plunge.

Yet a blank against Liverpool took his run to one assist in five, as Claude Puel’s defence racked up the points at Anfield instead thanks to a fourth clean sheet in seven.

Thanks to his spot-kick stop away to Liverpool, the Saints’ Fraser Forster leads the way among the Double Gameweek contingent on 16 points ahead of tonight’s 7.45pm encounter.

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

      Where are people getting Aguero-back news from?

      All I can find is "Sergio Aguero and John Stones will hope to be available for that game, having missed the thumping win over Palace at the weekend" here: http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/man-city-transfer-news-live-13016961

        either way if he is near to a return that must be a concern for the second game too

      Morning all. Any suggestions for this bag?

      Willy Pickford
      Azpi Monreal Stephens HOLGATE B.Davies
      KING Sanchez Hazard Alli Albrighton
      Kane Jesus(c) Gabbi

      Issues:

      1. Gabbi - but no replacement sticks out, perhaps Defoe
      2. B. Davies - could be rested if Rose back (could swap to a £5.8m defender (Vertongon?)

      Would appreciate thoughts!!

      Is it worth keeping Spurs players ?

      I'm caught in two minds, if Chelsea win tomorrow night they will have nothing to play for in their last 3 games, so they are likely to be both demoralised and rotated , but Alli and Kane have high ownerships so it could backfire dramatically.

They would not want to end this season too with a whimper . I think there players will outscore many a players people are getting rid for .

      Am I mad?

      Costa and King > Loriente and Sanchez

      Because - Swansea fighting for their life, will need to score / better Hull who are also fighting.

      Sanchez - the standard Arsenal fight back is on.

      What do we think of these transfers for -8?

      Eriksen > Silva
      Valencia > Clichy
      DeRoon > Albrighton

      To give me this lot with bench boost

      Cech Pickford
      Alonso Vertonghen Clichy Yoshida Kone
      Hazard Sanchez Silva King Albrighton
      Gabbi Kane Jesus

      If Aguero is fit, he will see game time.
      If he is fit, I won't shuffle my team around to fit Jesus for a hit.
      Agree?
