Dugout Discussion – Southampton vs Arsenal

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.

      I'm not sure if it's a waste of a transfer tbh.

        Why?

          • 13 Years
          6 years, 11 months ago

          Kosc could be fit to play though. Do we know a lot about his injury?

    Decent return for Sanchez TC'ers. Better than our paltry Kun offering earlier on.

      • 9 Years

    Every manager hates Steve McClaren, having to stand in the rain in a piss wet through designer suit should not be necessary 🙂

    Now I gotta wait for news on 3 injured guys, Koscielny, Stones and Britos. Already sold Afobe, so that's one sorted. What a couple of injury-riddled gw's. I hope at least two of these guys are fit for gw37.
