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

    Those with Ali, Eriksen and Kane... You'd be better off with a defender for one of them.

      So, would you go minus 8 to fo that?

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        No, not at all. On a WC maybe.

    2. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Yep I have Vertonghen but I benched him like an idiot

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Yep, have done the same with Davies. Sometimes, it's better to not have any choice and be forced to play a good player all the time.

        Arsenal didn't really come close to scoring, unfortunately.

    3. itwaswritten
      • 9 Years

      Euhm, no. CSs will be hard to keep in the following weeks.

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        I think Man U are easier to keep a CS against than score against, personally.

    4. Yank Revolution
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Thats what I did on my WC...owned all three attackers, traded Alli in for Vert.

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Nice move. I keep benching B Davies 😕

  2. Tim Canterbury
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Sanchez is a beast. He's averaging 3 points a game despite Arsenal not keeping cleanies

  3. THFC4LIFE
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Score check time
    53 all out

    3. Pierce34
      • 10 Years

      Same. We possibly have exactly the same players and captain!

      1. THFC4LIFE
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        What's ur team geez

        1. Pierce34
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Caballero
          Alonso - Yoshida - Brunt
          Hazard - Eriksen - Sane - King
          Kane (C) - Costa - Gabbiadini

          I guess Brunt may be different since he's not a popular choice now.

          1. THFC4LIFE
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 7 months ago

            Completely different lol
            De gea
            Alonso Valencia Yoshida
            Sanchez Hazard Eriksen King
            Kane(c) Gabbi Benteke

    6. merin
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      72 Coutinho left

  4. Pariße
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Can't possibly triple captain Sacnhez with that form, might just save it for GW38.

    1. Coaly
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Chelsea in 38

    2. ludi
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Yeh - I don't know either. Still tempted to do it as a lottery ticket as I need to make up 50+ points in the last 3 weeks.

      1. Big_Andy_GAWA
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Hazard last game?

  5. weaver93
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    ..Worth a -8??????

    Shall I transfer Lukaku or Gabby for Jesus(Gabby has 2 DGW's)
    Zaha - Hazard
    Grant -Jaku

    Pick - Grant.
    Alonso, Davies,Holgate. Nyom Stephens
    Sanchez,Alli,Zaha,King,De Roon

  6. niko mate
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Obviously goal scoring means nothing in this game anymore. If they don't receive bonus points.

    1. Coaly
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Stop crying

      1. niko mate
        • 9 Years

      2. Crow
        • 8 Years

        He's got a point

    2. Malcolm Tucker for England …
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      no, they get goal scoring points though, donut

  7. Coaly
    • 13 Years

    Pedro on WC? Could be a good diff

  8. RoysCallerAnne

    Well played TM, great WC!

  9. Somalion
    • 15 Years

    Really struggling to want any Arsenal players despite 2 DGWs.

  10. Hotdogs for Tea
    • 10 Years

    Some high bench points !

  11. Chucky

    1. Chucky

  12. The Tinkerman
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    I can get Kosc this week, but means I have to downgrade one of these to fit in Jesus in 38, who should I downgrade?

    Willy, Jaku
    Alonso, Kosc, Vert, Yoshi, Stephens
    Sanchez, Hazard, Sane, Eriksen, TCarroll
    Kane, JESUS, Gabbi

    Need to save 0.5m at current prices. Sane > Pedro? Sanchez out? Gabbi?

  13. Bruno Bruno!!
    • 10 Years

    Ill be supporting watford tomorrow night, local team

  14. JÆKS ⭐
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Who would you bench?

    A) Alonso (MID)
    B) Vert (whu)
    C) Gabriel (MUN, sou)
    D) Yoshida (liv, ARS)

    1. The Tinkerman
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      B? But he was superb today. I have the same choice.

      1. JÆKS ⭐
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Yea thinking B or D

  15. Lallana_
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    If I didn't wildcard I'd have 77 pts with Coutinho left

    Now on 55 pts 🙁

    Probably better off not wildcarding and saving my TC for a single GW player. Those who used it on Aguero earlier probably feel a bit better.

  16. Mattymo23
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Red arrow this week but most likely gaining on rival

  17. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Players who have covered Alexis over the last 6 GWs.

    I'll start...

    Darmian

    1. Crow
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      10 players I own. He's the weak link

    2. The Overthinker
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      But but sanchez is a must for dgw !!

  18. Live Lad
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Will Alli get any bonus ?

    1. We Will Klopp you
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Outside chance of 1 with winning goal baps to be added

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

      Nah

    3. niko mate
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      He never gets.

    4. dhamphiir
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Might get 1 bonus for winning goal

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

    Who is still TC Sanchez?

    1. We Will Klopp you
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      I may not even captain him...

    2. dhamphiir
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      TC Hazard or Jesus is tempting than Sanchez

    3. Lanzini girls just want to …
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      I don't have my TC but still captaining him. He'll get at least a goal over the 2 games plus 4 points just for turning up. Then there's the chance that he'll go crazy and get back to back double digits

      1. We Will Klopp you
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        What makes you so sure he'll get a goal? I'm keeping instead of getting Hazard purely out of fear, been a reverse differential in my ml's on recent weeks

        1. Lanzini girls just want to …
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          I got rid of him about 6 weeks ago and it's been good. He's gone down from .9 to .5, for me it's time to take advantage of the money I made in price changes. I've got hazard anyway

    4. Mark-O
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Only you 😮

  20. Barcelinda
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    deli baps?

    1. Crow
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Is that food?

      1. Barcelinda
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        haha yeah

    2. boc610
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      not even close

  21. La Galatica
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Still loving the King (C) Choice. One time thanks again.

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Yep, he had form and fixture. Was the best choice with all things considered.

    2. Top 210 Club
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Well done

    3. The Overthinker
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Same
      Brought him in this week , got the armband straight

    4. La Galatica
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Shot Man

  22. Twisted Saltergater
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    No Arsenal here. Was planning on getting Ozil but seriously doubting it now. Might wait until DGW37 to see if they're carrying any form.

    1. Paganoi
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Same.

    2. Fred54
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Annoyingly the 'easier' Arsenal games come in 37. If they came in 36 you could risk having them and selling them on for 37.

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        I like it that way around. If Arsenal show a bit of fight in a harder fixture then I can get their players in for DGW37.

        I might go Pedro instead of an Arsenal mid, looking at it.

  23. The Mandalorian
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Alli is on 29bps so wont get a bonus

  24. Top 210 Club
    • 15 Years

    Too many blanks, Sanchez. Get out of my team

  26. Tansey
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Would you tale a hit to bring in a City attacker for next GW, or just save FT and bring them in for free before the DGW?

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

    Would you play BB instead of TC with this bench this week?
    Pickford Hull (A)
    Anichebe Hull (A)
    Maguire Sun (H)
    Holgate Swa (A)

    1. Tansey
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Save BB for 37

    2. Top 210 Club
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      No sund gone so they may not even even play ani or pick

  28. Nyom Legend
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Rought with the smooth addition: Rought
    Sold Negredo to Gabbiadini.
    Benched Sigurdsson over Sanchez.
    Pieters didnt play so Nyom get the spot instead of chambers.

      1. Garlana
        • 10 Years

        Rich man's problems, spare thoughts for Gabbi captainers
