Dugout Discussion – Southampton vs Arsenal

Gameweek 36 finally comes to an end this evening as Southampton entertain Arsenal at St Mary’s.

Alexis Sanchez will again be the focus of most managers’ attentions. Sitting in over 27% of FPL squads, the Chilean was the most captained player (11.2%) in the round of fixtures but a blank at home to Man United in his first match of Double Gameweek 36 means he has now netted just once in seven league appearances.

Meanwhile, his team-mate Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain looks to add to a pair of assists in the 2-0 weekend win over Jose Mourinho’s side. The Gunners’ wing-back has been drafted in by over 15,000 FPL managers this week for a Double Gameweek 37 against Stoke and Sunderland.

For the Saints, Manolo Gabbiadini was the fourth most transferred in player ahead of last week’s deadline, with over 108,000 taking the plunge.

Yet a blank against Liverpool took his run to one assist in five, as Claude Puel’s defence racked up the points at Anfield instead thanks to a fourth clean sheet in seven.

Thanks to his spot-kick stop away to Liverpool, the Saints’ Fraser Forster leads the way among the Double Gameweek contingent on 16 points ahead of tonight’s 7.45pm encounter.

  14. Viper
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Perfect result really but I can't help but think how slightly better it would have been if Koscielny played.

    Cech & Sanchez (c). Good nights work

  15. Syd.

  16. 1justlookin

    Sanchez Captain for me for the double. Too worried that Jesus wont get 180 mins. Tough call mins.

    Discuss.

    1. Magic Bean
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Sanchez C for me

    2. Ibracadabra
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Jesus if Aguero ruled out, Sanchez if not.

  17. DJDave1979

    Whoo. TC Sanchez not too bad in the end. 111 is my best ever score. Very chuffed it's come in not a great week overall.

    1. Lizard Lips
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      1. DJDave1979
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Could have been better had Kos played!

  18. FPL Pillars

    1. Syd.
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Only if you lot drop more points

    2. Petr Cech the Table
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      We need a Liverpool slip up.

    3. Digital-Real
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Can't see them lose now. Pool have a potential banana skin against West Ham

  22. Optimus.
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    If I'm honest I was only expecting 3 points from Gabi this dgw so 4 points is a bonus 😎

  23. TOBY1
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Keep Kane or Gabi?

    1. TOBY1
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Sorry Keep Rashford or GABI?

    2. Yome
      • 12 Years

  24. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Missed tonight's game 🙁 Was it on TV? What's the summary from anyone who seen it? Sanchez play well? Gabbi do nothing? Koscielny crocked for a while? Cheers 🙂

    Honestly I am content with this.

    68 points. No Sanchez. Rival take 14 point lead and he had Sanchez.

    Almost was perfect with me in the lead, but by no means disastrous.

    1. Shifty
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      No understand

  26. Smurf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    91 with Sanchez's bonus. And I finally after all this long season overtake my rival to become the league leader.

    1. Nomar

      Triple captainers of the Alexis kind.
