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

    Gibbs*, Kompany*, Yoshida*, Stephens*, Alonso*
    Sanchez*, King, Fabregas*, Hazard*, Eriksen*

    Morning can't believe nearly at the end of the season already. I lead my ML by 15 points with BB to play 2nd place played all his chips.

    Is Hazard likely to rotate have him and Costa. 2nd place also has Costa so thinking of keeping him in and doing:

    Hazard Kane Collins ------> Jesus KDB Monreal for a -4 hit

    or keppCollins and save the 4 points?

    I'm debating a -8 for this:

    Gabriel + T.Carroll + Gabbiadini -> Fernandez + Fabregas + Anichebe

    On a BB. I can see the first three getting 0 + 3 + 4 = 7, whereas I can imagine the second three getting 6 + 7 + 4 = 17. So just about worth it...

    What do you guys think?

      I don't think Yaya is nailed on. Wouldn't be surprised if he didn't start against Leicester.

    If Kos wasn;t injured last night, would Holding have played?

    I have 4.5 m left for a def, and only 2 ars currently.

    Is he an option? Anyone better?

    Baggies boss Tony Pulis: Matty [Phillips] won't be fit. Striker Hal Robson-Kanu will have a fitness test but will only be fit for bench. We are hoping Jonny [Evans] will be fine.
