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

    Who's a safer bet for the double (i.e. who will play more games)?

    Gibbs (4.7)
    Holding (4.0)

    Thanks in advance!

      Thanks all. I already have Gabriel (foolishly) so it's possible that he'd oust Holding. So maybe Holding the safer choice?!

              Pep talked about wanting to play Jesus + Aguero. Somebody from previous team drops out/rotates, plus somebody from previous team may drop back. For a chunk of the season KDB had a deeper role, with fewer goals/assists. It's not an impossibility this happens again, plus all the mids seem to play differently when Aguero's in vs just Jesus.

        King - no chance
        PVA - vs Hull and good differential
        Valencia - not nailed, releases loads of cash, so gives me greatest choice of alternative defenders.
        Hennessy - vs Hull

        I had played this week to do.

        Teke> Anchiebe
        Jesus > Gabbi
        Romeu > The Ox.

        I have 5.8.

        Any suggestions instead of The OX?

        Is there a way to find a particular fantasy manager if you know their name?

          If they're in HoF maybe - as long as they use their name on FPL

        Would you boys go for Kompany (LEI, WBA) over Monreal (stk, SUN)?

          NO....*law of averages*
          Kompany just got his Def-goal; Monreal is due one (guessing a 2nd ball after a corner)
          {however, I'm def bias, brought in Monreal 4 weeks ago--watching him EITHER so-close/in-form OR a footnote...can't complain tho!)

            You've left it a bit late. Need to weigh up benefits of each this week, depending on squad.

            With 2GW's left you have 2 options

            BB this week if team looks ok and take a load of WC punts for GW38
            or
            WC this week for best 11 you can muster and prep bench for BB in GW38
