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

        Why not? 😀 Excellent home record for Spurs, and no cs in the last 11 for Chelsea, well before the game 🙁 Everton should have scored one though

      Seems to be running again, hope he does a Bailly later on, so I can cheer for a Sanchez goal after 60 minutes in

    Cech for the passing bonus 😛

    Does the PL still go by goals difference -> goals scored -> head to head in that order when deciding positions in the league? So in other words, is it because Liverpool have scored more goals than City or is it because Liverpool beat City and drew the other that Liverpool are in 3rd position?

    1. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Goal Diff followed by goals scored

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

    No Vertoghen!!!

  11. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    If Rose could just be ruled out for the season that'd be great!

    1. Deulofail
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Or ruled in for the next 3 games. I want him

  12. FFrulesmylife

    There is no way that Giroud is a footballer

  13. mcrayeps
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Where is the goal? Where is the goal? Where is the goal the goal the goal..

  14. Somalion
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Giroud and Xhaka playing for a top 6 team in the PL gives me hope that I can still make it at that level.

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

      Agreed.

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

      Xhakas first season...

      Apparently was excellent in bundesliga

      It's Ramsey that really bugs me

      1. Somalion
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        He was good in BL but vastly overrated when he signed for Arsenal. Was always an absolute lunatic.

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

          I just don't understand why he doesn't play Sanchez through the middle? I know he's 'the boss' but I just can't see it

          1. Burger
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 7 months ago

            Sanchez said he prefers to play on the wing.

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

              Did he? Well maybe they don't need a manager then - it can be 'play where u want' Arsenal

  15. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Ramsey DGW TC?

    1. mcrayeps
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Thought on xhaka

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

      This is a legally binding statement

      1. Deulofail
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Or something

    Sanchez just does not get in the box these days. Always looking to cross it in. Not worth the money IMO.

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      And they are still waiting for his haul..

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

      I hope people still get him. Actually I'd like him to get an assist or something to give people false hope. He's not been in my plans for weeks, in fact months

    3. mcrayeps
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Keep talking like this to make him shoot more

  19. Somalion
    • 15 Years

    Gru has done nothing at all..Walcott for Gru and play Sanchez up-front

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

      You think Walcott will do any better?

  26. Sims
