Saturday’s events end at St Mary’s with Manchester City the visitors to Southampton.

From a Fantasy perspective, it will be the Saints under scrutiny given that they offer us a pair of double Gameweeks to come.

Manolo Gabbiadini’s display will be the main focus with the Italian striker making his return from a groin problem after missing the last three Gameweek outings. Gabbiadini has scored four goals in his first three outings prior to the setback at Spurs in Gameweek 29.

The likes of Dusan Tadic and Nathan Redmond will also be assessed, while Maya Yoshida and Jack Stephens are also set to be key transfer targets in the coming weeks ahead of the first double-header in Gameweek 36.

For City, Sergio Aguero goes into this evening’s contest backed by 417,000 (9.4%) with the armband having scored in his last four Gameweek starts. John Stones misses out the visitors with Pep Guardiola confirming an injury pre-match.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Bravo CS while making a save.

    anyone pls, what to do w/ FT? thnx
    *if going for Ibra, might do TC on him or wait for Sanchez Dgw.

    1. -4 Lukaku + Philips > Ibra DGW + Stanislas (played 68 min 2day)
    2. -4 Lukaku + Stones > Ibra DGW + 4.0 (Muniesa / Benalouane)
    3. -4 Philips + Stones > Zaha + 4.6 (Holgate / Yoshida)
    4. -4 Philips + Stones > King + 4.5 (Holgate / Yoshida)

    Cannot believe Burnley got a pen! Holgate and Baines owner!

    1. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Robles should be given 100 lashes

    2. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Same. Very poor

    3. manu4life99
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Williams and Baines owner - assists offset the damage

    4. Smarty Pants
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Murphy's law. You get Baines for penalties, but the only penalties you get are penalties conceded by Everton.

  4. FCRS1991
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    55pts before BAPs
    Hazard,Alonso,McAuley still to play

    Grant Heaton
    Alonso Valencia BDavies McAuley Amat
    Sane King Siggy Hazard Son
    Kane Lukaku Crouch

    3.5itb

    What would you do with this bunch?

    1. umerlfc
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      McAuley + Siggy -> Gibson + Zaha?

      1. FCRS1991
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Both CP and Borough have tough fixtures ahead....I was thinking a CP player at least,

        Ibra essential?

  5. Syd.
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Sanchez (c)

    Am I on my own 😎

    1. fedolefan
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      You wish. I'm here too.

      1. Syd.
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Smart guy you 🙂

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I hope you get 32!

    3. JJO
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Im with you
      Just need 14 points from him so I could say leaving Aguero in my team and not bringing Kane was ok move 😉

    4. Our Man Charlie
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      im in that party too :O

  6. manu4life99
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    For those without a WC, who are you targeting to bring in next gw?

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Sorting my crappy defense 😳

    2. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Christian

    3. Sleep Talk
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Ibra for Lukaku, and possibly a dgw-defender for Mawson. The defender would be for a hit though, and I'd have to play him over Walker or Alonso, and I'm not sure it's worth it for someone like Gibson or PVA...

      1. Sleep Talk
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Also, possibly Deeney for Benteke, as I'll most likely be removing Deeney for Gabbiadini the week after..

    4. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Lukaku > Benteke I think

    5. 1314
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Lukaku > Ibra

    6. We Will Klopp you
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      No-one, happy with my team unless Valencia no shoes, save ft

      1. We Will Klopp you
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Lol, *shows

  7. umerlfc
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    1 FT and 1.7 ITB

    Pickford
    Alonso Baines Maguire
    Alli Coutinho Siggy Barkley
    Kane Lukaku Benteke

    Heaton Tadic Brunt Nyom

    Barkley -> Zaha tonight? (Would ponder about the other transfers later). Would probably do Brunt -> Gibson (-4) as well.

  8. Delhidynamo
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Rage transfer

    Tadic to Arnie

    1. fedolefan
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      You'll rage transfer back to Tadic for GW36. Arnie is a pick you'll need to stick to for points.

    2. My Name Is Pepu
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Did a last minute Özil to Arnie punt today and it paid off 🙂
      Talking about Tadic, he's a frustrating asset to own. Have had him during a couple of phases during the season and removed him on both occasions out of frustration. Clearly not getting him back this season AGAIN.

  9. Mark-O
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    That gasping moment when Bravo had a CS against Southampton

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Now Pep can brag about his smartness...

    2. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Only because they had no shots on target 😉

      1. The Big Fella
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        He made a save 😮

  10. Pigeon
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Who to get rid for Gibson?
    A) Maguire
    B) Bertrand
    C) Walker
    D) Yoshida
    E) Valencia

    1. umerlfc
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      B or D

    2. GREEN IS GOOD
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Southampton have got 2 DGWs coming up so worth keeping their players.

      A.

      1. Pigeon
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Not very nice dgws though, they'll probably end up getting one clean sheet and Maguire's goal threat isn't to be ignored plus fixtures are satisfactory

  11. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Barracuda

    You really think that Aguero and Zlatan are bad dgw options but suggest Walcott? 😕

    *i will have all three btw

  12. Rasping Drive
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Kun hasn't done enough. Out for Ibra next week.

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Meh, Aguero, Ibra, Kane ftw 🙂

      1. Rasping Drive
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Nah. Keeping Lukaku.

    2. La Roja
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      6, 7, 8, 9, 6

      You sure he hasn't done enough?

      1. Rasping Drive
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        He's not worth the money.

          1. Rasping Drive
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            😀 I have a few quid myself!

    3. Klopp For The Kopps 😆
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      This
      Not worth his PRICE

    4. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Have you looked at his next 6 fixtures

      They don't come any easier

      1. Rasping Drive
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Yes, I have. I can always get him back in.

        1. Syd.
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Fair enough if you have a WC

          I don't have that luxury

          1. Rasping Drive
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            I don't either 😀 Concerned Jesus may regain his spot.

      2. Rasping Drive
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        How far away is Jesus ?

        1. iron2010
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          He is back tomorrow

    5. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      With Alexis quiet, his returns are acceptable.

    6. barracuda
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Awful returs

  13. slamdunk
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    So who to get rid of first..

    Sterling or siggy?

    Twice now sterling been benched in a few weeks and siggy off form.

    1. barracuda
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Sterling

    2. umerlfc
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Sterling

    3. Sleep Talk
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Siggy

    4. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Siggy. Sterling has been rested for the dgw that Siggy doesn't have

    5. barracuda
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      To get first..Sterling. Many other options for DGW

    6. slamdunk
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      One of them will be for Zaha for the double..still have wc to bring sterling back..siggy has stoke and no double.gonna be a long week making my mind up haha

  14. 1314
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    is Vardy worth keeping till the season ends ? think he's a good 3rd striker option (along with Kane & Ibra/Costa)..

    1. barracuda
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Too expensive

      1. 1314
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        money not much an issue..

        1. barracuda
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Still no.

    2. bombayblues
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      As your 3rd striker he is good until GW37 when you can get in Costa for his double

      1. 1314
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I'm thinking of retaining Vardy in the expense of Ibra , and go with Kane-Costa-Vardy for gw37..Ibra fixtures are not much better than Vardy but Vardy is cheaper..

    3. *sigh*
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Gone tonight for Tekkers

  15. Syd.
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Vincent will have Zlatan in his back pocket 😉

    1. barracuda
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      yap

    2. The Big Fella
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      If he is fit

    3. PÍE
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      That's a big pocket

  16. Viper
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Will Sane end up on 1bp?

    1. MTPockets
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Probably

    2. Feloh
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      between Sanchez and Walcott who will score more on Monday.

      1. barracuda
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Sanchez

      2. My Name Is Pepu
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Both would get 3 pointers potentially, depending on who picks up a yellow and ends up with a 2 pointer 🙂

    3. My Name Is Pepu
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Attacking returns from all my mids and forwards so far, just Hazard left to play. Defensive points (Baines and Robles owner) would have been so much better if Robles wouldn't have thrown himself. Left Maguire on the bench, so missed out on his 7 pointer 🙂

    4. Unbowed Unbent N'Golo
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Full steam ahead with Defoe + Siggy --> Ibra + T. Davies for -4?

      Heaton (Jak)
      Walker, Alonso, Valencia (Yoshi, Holgate)
      Zaha, Alli, King, Sanchez (*Siggy)
      Kane, Lukaku, *Defoe

      Would avoid the double fall tonight.

      1. My Name Is Pepu
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        You can just do Defoe to Tellers? No?

        1. My Name Is Pepu
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          *Tekkers

    5. Danno - Emre Canada
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      So just had a proper look at GW37 fixtures. This place will be in full meltdown mode for 7 straight days! Haha lovely

      1. Fred54
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        It will almost feel like just before GW1 with a million RM(WC)T, but hey its too be expected.

    6. royals forever
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      What do people think about Negrado for a DGW option?

      More nailed on than Ibra plus better fixtures

      1. nkhoughton
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Yes but boro are not a high scoring team

      2. My Name Is Pepu
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        GW34 belongs to Benteke. Uncertainty around Ibracadabra's game time and United's priorities and Middlesbrough can't score for their life really, they are championship material and will rightly go down 🙂

      3. MTPockets
          9 years, 1 month ago

          I have him, but only got half game last week so see how he does first.

      4. nkhoughton
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I plan to WC 35 what's best move?

        Heaton
        Alonso Chambers Davies
        Alexis Alli Coutiniho Siggy King
        Kane Lukaku

        Robles Nyom Crouch Pennington

        Siggy to 9.4
        Heaton to Valdes?

      5. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Man United midfield punt?

        1. barracuda
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Are thinking Mikhi?

        2. nkhoughton
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Martial or mkhi?

        3. Team Cruel
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Pogba

          1. barracuda
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            3 bars and 2 posts incoming

            1. Team Cruel
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              Pole Pogbar?

        4. barracuda
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Personally will ignore Man Utd

        5. Rainer
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Not worth the hassle. Worried about Valencia & Ibra, never mind that minefield.

          1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Thinking of going Ibraless.

            1. Garth Marenghi
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              Me too. May get rotated, uefa game Thursday before Saturday away to burnley...then city..

            2. _Freddo
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 16 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              Same here, tomorrow is key, if Liverpool win and United lose then top 4 is gone, will he bother running his team like dogs against Burnley?

            3. Pigeon
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 9 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              Same as myself, it seems that a Boro defender and a Palace player is the way to go, might even transfer Valencia out this week

              1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
                • 9 Years
                9 years, 1 month ago

                Surely keep Valencia if you have him.

                1. Pigeon
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 9 Years
                  9 years, 1 month ago

                  Will probably play one match and probably against City which I dont see a clean sheet but I'll see what happens

        6. Garth Marenghi
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Jesse

        7. Ógie
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          I think Lingard is the way to go Dingo cheap and like to take shots he might be worth a punt

          1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Maybe worth it just before WC as he won't hang around my team for long.

      6. Kitman
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Bloody hell Mun,

        why bring on sterling for 3 minutes at 3-0 up Pep?

      7. Ógie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Now that Vincent is back City's defensive prospects look a lot brighter

        1. JÆKS ⭐
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Who is nailed in defence though

        2. Harper_
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years

        B). Zaha
        C). Coutinho
        D). Kane

          Lol atleast let this gameweek end. Zaha out of that lot just because he has an extra fixture.

        To all Tadic owners, what are we doing with him? switch him for Townsend/Zaha/Cabaye for a hit?

        Doesn't look worth it to get Ibra if it means dropping one of Kane, Lukaku or Sanchez. Sanchez maybe, but will have to see how he does on monday

        Those quick Sane and Aguero goals have made the leader in my league almost the same score even though his C is Kaku 🙁
