A busy Sunday comes to its conclusion with a north London derby at White Hart Lane.

Harry Kane welcomes Arsenal in stunning form. Firing double-digit returns in each of his last three home starts, the Spurs striker is the fourth most-captained player for Gameweek 35.

With four fixtures in the final three Gameweeks, many will be scouting Christian Eriksen and Dele Alli this afternoon, though Son Heung-min may yet have a part to play in our wildcard plans after returning to the Tottenham teamsheet.

Kyle Walker’s 33% owners will be looking elsewhere, though, as the right-back drops to the bench for the third time in six matches.

With back-to-back Double Gameweeks 36 and 37 on the horizon, we need Alexis Sanchez back in form after a run of just one goal in the last five fixtures.

Yet with Olivier Giroud returning to the starting line-up, the Chilean looks likely to take up a central support berth as Arsene Wenger continues with a 3-4-2-1 formation.

At the back, the 4.8-priced Gabriel is handed a fifth straight start. Almost 8,000 FPL manages have acquired the Brazilian since yesterday’s deadline passed as a cheap route into the Gunners’ rearguard for the run-in.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    Arsenal win here would blow top four race wide open.

    Gabriel Azpi Stephens

    Eriksen Ozil Sane Hazard

    Gabbi Jesus Kane

    Amazing how we put in all this hard work over the season, for it to be ruined in one week.

    1. AC Tomasso
      • 9 Years

      it's partly the chips fault, so much riding on dgw's.

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

        Not sure I would have a much different team either way

    How did Aguero and Jesus play? Who's more likely to stay in the team now?

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Unless your name is Pep, no one will possibly know.

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

        Who played better though?

    2. Team Cruel

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

        Ah right, thanks, not followed it

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

    Thinking of this as my final WC draft

    Willy Pickford
    Alonso Huth Gabriel Yoshida Holgate
    Sanchez Hazard Alli Eriksen King
    Kane Jesus Anichebe

    Thoughts?

    1. The Head-Ake
      • 9 Years

      Good team, similair to mine. Will be a good weak for you

      1. The Head-Ake

        Cheers.
        Hope Kane justifies it with his performance

  9. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Spurs 5-1 Woolwich

    2x Eriksen
    2x Alli

    need this match to save my dismal gw 🙁

    good dgw score followed by sh*te.....no consistency....story of my season

    1. VS10_
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Everything hanging on this match too, but I've been very consistent. It's just when you get a very small green arrow every week, a very bad one, like this gw so far, can set you back so many weeks.

  11. diesel001

    9 years, 1 month ago

    Spurs cleanie incoming. Got Vert on the bench and Siggy(10) and Luiz (7) already got points sitting on the bench. Vert for the hat-trick of bench hauls.

      • 10 Years

      What didn't you Bb

      1. diesel001

        Saving BB for GW37.

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

    Bottomed.

    Benteke + Blind to Jesus + Gabriel?

    Already own Koscielny.

    1. The Head-Ake
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Yes. If on WC, switch from Kosc to Monreal.

  13. Junior ⚽
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Only missing Costa here. Thoughts?
    Caballero / Pickford
    Monreal / Gabriel / Alonso / Vert / Stephens
    Alli / Sanchez / Hazard / King / Sane
    Anichebe / Kane / Jesus
    0.4 ITB

    1. The Head-Ake
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Sane to Caroll and then Anichebe to Costa and degrade San next week

  14. Matamatics

  15. Crow
    • 9 Years

    Hahaha unlucky mate but why did you bench siggy and luiz

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

      Reply fail :/

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

      Had Lukaku - so thought Lukaku would score to ruin Chelsea CS. Had Blind and thought they would keep a clean sheet. Bailly CS points rubbing salt in the wound. My GW so far:

      1) Transferred Negredo to Afobe
      2) Played Blind instead of Luiz
      3) Played Sterling instead of Siggy
      4) Got Kane(c), Alli and Sanchez here. They will all blank given what has happened this week.

    Where is Sanchez playing? Deep on the right wing?! :/

    1. sillyhilly69
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Left*

    2. dhamphiir

      Left wing

      I'm gonna wait this game and then hit the button

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

    Is Gibbs is decent choice for WC?

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

      Won't Monreal come back in?

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

        Monreal is playing left centre back whereas Gibbs is playing left wingback

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

          Sorry, Monreal back to left I mean

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

      Everyone fit he probably wont play. Mustafi expected back by 37.

    3. Dr. Mantis Toboggan
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Got to be him or Gab to lose their spot if/when Mustafi is back

    4. T444
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Nah

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

      With everyone fit I think Monreal will shift back to the wingback spot, and Mustafi will take Monreal place as a CB

  28. Hybrid.power
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    I badly need a Kane or Eriksen goal. Im so close to overtaking my leagur leader

  29. Plagued by indecision
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Well playing AoA and Valencia getting minutes means I've lost the Yoshida CS off the bench and I traded Negredo for Gabbiadini. My anger will only be sated by a stellar performance from Spurs and Kane (c)

  30. Deulofail
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Players I'm watching avidly with WC in mind:

    Cech, Monreal, Koscielny, Ozil, Alderweireld, Alli, Eriksen, Son, Kane

    Player I'm watching semi-avidly:

    Gabriel, Gibbs, Sanchez, Ox, Ramsey, Vert

    Nedless to say, there are lots of WC options in this game. Could end up with 6 or just 2 or 3.

    1. sillyhilly69

      Cool story.
