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.

    The way I see it Cech should be the only one on 1 bonus. Save should mean 28 BPS...

      Mustafi should have been booked for his two footer too!

        wk 27 Grant 13 - Sane 12 / Aguero 9

        Difference is the goalies maxed out .. the forwards had average games but far higher potential

  6. Lizard Lips
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 24 days ago

    T Carrol, Holding, King.

    Awful bench boost, anyone got any worse?

    1. Sonic Huth
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 24 days ago

      One guy in my ML got 5 from the bench

    2. LIARS POKER
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 24 days ago

      Jaku, T Carroll, Zaha, Holgate

      Don't think it's worth a hit to get rid of any of them so looks like im stuck with them

    3. JustPark
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 24 days ago

      I have Donald Love, Anichebe if that make you feel better.

    1. Jafooli
      • 12 Years

      I got 111pts. Rough 🙁 😥

      1. Alnair
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 24 days ago

        I predicted Arsenal would keep two CSs and captain'd Koscielny.

        Got a rock bottom 5 points from the first game before he ever so timely got injured and missed the next.

      2. Alnair

    I am glad that Sanchez did not go too mad at least the treble captainers will be kept at bay

    Just can't quite get a century this season, 99 in the end, should have played one of the Southampton defenders instead of Huth, that would have done it, hindsight 🙂

    1. Firminooooo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Feel for you. Only 97 points myself.

        You got pretty close yourself, can't complain I guess

      • 8 Years

      Unlucky, 99 pretty sick though. Play the DGW player 90% of the time

      1. TLF
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 24 days ago

        Lesson learnt, just didn't see Southampton keeping a CS against Pool/Arsenal where as a Leicester CS and Huth's goal threat was too good to refuse. Cheers 🙂

    Sanchez captain over Jesus a good move for gw37?

    1. Shane86
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 24 days ago

      I'm still captaining Jesus

    2. FPLtfs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      yes imo

      1. FPL Maldini
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 24 days ago

        Yeah as Sanchez never gets rested

    How to get Jesus, KdB, Cech in?

    Alonso Vert Yoshida Kelly Holgate

    Sanchez Hazard Alli Sane JWP

        No money left in it

    2. Mick J
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 24 days ago

      Pickford, Hazard and Kane out?

      1. Moose™
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 24 days ago

        Need to drop Willy or Sane to make way for Jesus + KDB. Which ine?

        1. Mick J
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 24 days ago

          Willy to Cech then, keeping Pickford?

  18. FER FUSCH AKE
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 24 days ago

    am I the only one here with such horrible scores, in the regions of mid forties (-4).

    1. Viper
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 24 days ago

      That's pretty rough to be honest

    2. Point-one short
      • 7 Years

      Ouch. Was on 35 before this eve.

    3. Calderano FC

      Don't want to gloat......but......

  19. Hurricane Gilbert
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 24 days ago

    Alright, raiding my team with these transfers for a huge -16, what do you think? Gabbi will prob outscore Anichebe but the rest of the 4 players I fancy.

    Gibson ➡ Kompany
    Bailly ➡ Holding
    JWP ➡ Sané
    Benteke ➡ Jesus
    Gabbi ➡ Anichebe

    1. MTPockets
        7 years, 24 days ago

        Look decent transfers, but -16. Funny things can happen, like Arsenal getting two clean sheets.

        1. Hurricane Gilbert
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 24 days ago

          Yeah I know, -16 doesn't look nice, but team looks so much better overall. Kompany and Holdimg I'm pretty sure of. JWP and Gabbi vs Sané and Anichebe though...

      • Aubaaaaa
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 24 days ago

        Wait for more news on Kos injury. If Kos returns, Holding may not start.

        1. Hurricane Gilbert
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 24 days ago

          Surely Holding will start even if Kosc returns. Monreal to play LWB and oust Gibbs.

    2. TaiwanHC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 24 days ago

      GTG? 1 FT and 0.1 ITB. Will BB.

      Caballero - Pickford
      Alonso - Monreal - Verthongen - Huth - Stephens
      Sanchez - Hazard - Eriksen - King - Albrighton
      Kane - Jesus - Anichebe

    3. FISSH
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 24 days ago

      5mil for a defender... who? Thinking Davies or Trippier..

      1. Aubaaaaa
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 24 days ago

        Davies

      2. Mick J
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 24 days ago

        None of them will play both games, I reckon. Huth? Leicester would surely concede versus City, but Huth might grab a goal, and a clean sheet at home versus Tottenham doesn’t seem that unlikely.

    4. Klopp's Kids

      71 pts with TC bad?

      1. Pique boo
        • 7 Years

        I got 93 with TC

      • 7 Years
      7 years, 24 days ago

      This Week score 92.... was 90 pts behind leader 3 weeks ago and now 22...he can really feel me 😀

      GW 37 team:

      Cech Pickford
      Alonso, Smith, Kompany, Yoshi, Stephens
      Sanchez(C), King, Alli, Allbrighton Hazard
      Gabbi Kane Jesus

      G2G?

      Only think not in form is Gabbi but I guess against Boro he can finally bring his fair share 🙂

      1. Sjaugen
        • 8 Years

        Gtg as any

        *playing benchboost in 37

        Leader has both TC and BB but I think he will play TC ...his bench is awful due to his transfers of my premium players to copy me...

    7. Sjaugen
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 24 days ago

      What do you recon of
      Daniels, Hazard, Anichebe TO Holding Fab Jesus for -4?

      1. HD7
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 24 days ago

        Nah

      2. Aubaaaaa
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 24 days ago

        Keep hazard. And holding's game time may not be guaranteed if Kos is back from injury. So wait for more news.

    8. FPL Maldini

      40 points taken off the ML leader in one week. Down to 10 now. BB to finish it next week hopefully. Love weeks like this. 🙂

      1. HD7
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 24 days ago

        Yeah mine has only 22 now...was around 90 only 2 weeks ago 🙂 Mine has also BB like me and TC but his bench is truly awful so can see him playing TC on Sanchez in 37.
        Heres to knocking the leaders off their perch 🙂

    12. JustPark
