Both Southampton and Arsenal play the first match of their Double Gameweek 36 today, with the former’s trip to Liverpool kick starting the proceedings at 1.30pm.
With six goals and an assist in eight appearances across all competitions since arriving in January, Manolo Gabbiadini boasts the Saints’ main threat in the final third.
Drafted in by more than 108,00 FPL managers for his side’s pair of fixtures, the Italian is also their most captained asset, with over 45,000 handing him the armband on the back of 4.7 points per appearance.
Defensive duo Jack Stephens and Maya Yoshida were also subject to significant wildcard investment but the 67,000+ who transferred in Nathan Redmond are ruing their decision as he drops to the bench.
For the Reds, Philippe Coutinho recovers from the dead leg that forced him off against Watford on Monday to be named in Jurgen Klopp’s first XI.
Having scored in four of five appearances prior to limping off early at Vicarage Road, the Brazilian is the most captained player for today’s early kick-off – over 75,000 have handed him the armband.
Roberto Firmino seeks a sixth double-figure home haul against a defence with two away clean sheets – at Sunderland and West Brom – in their last nine road trips.
