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

    Bellerin either needs to sort that hair or retire to his studio apartment to smoke weed and paint fruit.

    Is Sanchez really worth the extra money over Sanchez do we think?

    1. FPL Maldini
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Ozil I mean

      1. La Roja

        Ozil has been pants

    2. grumpyman
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      No, I think Sanchez is the better option. Or Sanchez if you need the funds.

        That's tough.. Gabriel perhaps? I can see Arsenal's season petering out badly for the remainder.

        In other news.. I got 52 pts this week. I'm not making it to GW36 in LMS, am I? 😮

            That's unfortunate.. 🙁 It was a good run all the same, thanks for hosting the competition.

            At least I'm in good company - it looks like Mark and Triggerlips are both goners too.

          Watch his right leg

          He throws it into the defender then dives

          1. Athletic Nasherbo
            • 8 Years
            8 years, 7 months ago

            I'm assuming you're fishing for something? It's so sloppy from Gabriel and Kane has every right to go down.

            1. Wilshere Knowledge
              • 12 Years
              8 years, 7 months ago

              You saying he 'has a right to go down' means he dived FFS.

            2. Syd.
              • 16 Years
              8 years, 7 months ago

              It was a dive. Watch it again and look at Kane sticking his leg into Gabriel and throwing himself down

              1. FFSbet.com
                • 10 Years
                8 years, 7 months ago

                Where did Gabriel stick his leg then?

      2. Les Bleus
        • 14 Years

        Kane didn't dive

        1. Syd.
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Going down easily and diving are one and the same

      3. Petr Cech the Table
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        And the commentators/pundits say they're right to dive to win a penalty, but when foreign players do it, they're a disgrace to football.

        This - sanchez still worth it with 4 games in 2 gw. On bad run of form but realistically who else would people capt next week. As you say some people capt negrado for hit for dgw and then sold for this week.
