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.

    I think Holding will play all matches. Wenger will want to give him full confidence I sense.

      I am tempted

        I think Wenger is stubborn and now fully believes in him, he has kept alexis wrong position so really think this kid plays all games.

      You think Koscielny will come in, Monreal to shift to wingback and Gibbs out?

    how long until tables are updated?

    I don't why the complaints on Gabbi. Last time I checked, he scored 22 for gw36.

    1. JustPark
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Don't get*

  4. Legomane

    Looks like 88-89...
    Rival on 60(-8)...started the week 5 behind so nice turn around.

    I TC'd Aguero but don't think I'd have managed as decent a swing if I'd WC35 then TCalexis36 to be honest...

    Just gutted Alli, Eriksen and Kosc differentials all failed to stretch the lead further...

  5. ZeBestee

    7 years, 1 month ago

    Gabby > Costa anyone? other strikers are Kane and Jesus

    1. FPL Pillars
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Yes

  6. RAFA THE GAFFA

    Chances of a Koscielny return at the weekend? Hmm

    1. walkman666

      Either way, he is going to be touch and go. He seems to be battling an injury that he may have already had. It will be a risk to sell, and a risk to hold. I doubt he makes it through two games in another b2b, but a -4 for a guy like him who actually DOES play both games would really stink.

    2. Big_Bear
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I want to know this too. Thinking of Kos to Monreal otherwise.

  7. sminkypinky
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Ummm.... Sanch and Gabbi
    Or Sane and Jesus -4

  8. rnrd

    Mustafi's performance tonight was very Solid

    1. Digital-Real
      • 7 Years

      Still an average defender

  9. You've got red on you.

    Bailly to Vertonghen -4 ?

    1. FPLtfs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

    GW37 captaincy decision just got even harder!

    1. Eddie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Not that much harder, I'd like to see how many shots on target Sanchez registered during that game. Stoke, Sunderland though....

    Faking rival idiot again have all the luck in the world
    Walcott no show in 2 games brings Jones 15 points from 2nd place on the bench
    Just cant believe his luck this season

    1. FPL Pillars
      • 7 Years

      Got to have the players to get the points I guess it evens out.

    2. All Hail K

      There's one in every mini league.

    Sanchez DGW37(c) confirmed?!

    Not worth the start risk with Jesus.

    1. Colonel Shoe 肝池
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      quite like costa c

    2. Econ Man
        7 years, 1 month ago

        It seems to me a no-brainer. He has great matches, is guaranteed to start and the highest scoring player in the game. The hype for strikers is significantly bigger than for midfielders though.

    3. Colonel Shoe 肝池
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      gabriel will play if i sell him 🙁

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

        sell him 😀

        He won't.

        Nah not really

        I'm a Sanchez (TC)

        So much difference lol

    5. Sonic Huth

      Willy - Pickford
      Stephens - Yoshida - Holgate - Vert - Monreal
      Pedro - Hazard - Alexis - Alli - King
      Jesus - Kane - Gabbi
      0.0 Itb

      Willing to do Hazard-KDB.
      Any other pressing issues?

    6. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I've exact money to do walker and siggy to holding and De Bruyne. Will have to happen tonight.
      Yes or no

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

        Is Aguero fit?

        1. DA Minnion (Former great)
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Wasn't chatting to him.

      2. 8ball
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Yes. Walker will most probably play only 1 game next week. Gibbs will make way for Monreal, Holding most likely plays both games.

    7. The 12th Man
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Monreal + Clichy

      Or

      Kompany + Gibbs or another 5.2?

      1. Deulofail
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Is Kos out for the season? If so B

        1. arndff_
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          i dont think so

      2. arndff_
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        monreal plus clichy seems ok

    8. Parm
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Why is Hazard on the chopping block guys?

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

        Will probably only play 70 minutes in GW37

      2. Deulofail
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        KDB less likely to be rotated. If it weren't for him, he wouldn't be on the block for most people

      3. TLF
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        He blanked, plays away to WB then at risk of rotation v Watford

      4. FPL Pillars
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Probably will only see one match that's why, rested.

      5. JÆKS ⭐
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        People want KDB and are looking for reasons to drop him. I think he'll play both games though, that was probably the reason Conte subbed him early

    9. Jonny Sutt
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I have Gabriel, is it worth transferring Gibbs in for -4?

      1. 8ball
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        No. With Kos and Mustafi most likely back, Monreal will take Gibbs' position

    10. Big_Bear
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Any idea of how long Kos will be out for?

      Who would you sub Kos out for (6.2m and can't have Man City player)?

      I'm thinking of sideways to Monreal?

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

        Do it. Best fixtures

    11. Cojiro
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      What do we think are Gibbs minutes over the next 2 games?

    12. VDiesel26
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Need 1 £6.8m mid for next GW and can't be a Chelsea or Southampton player

      Have: Hazard / King / Alli / Sanchez + ??

    13. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Best defender for the double under 5.0m?

      1. Meme2011
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Gibbs & Soares

    14. Meme2011
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Gabriel & King >> Holding & Fabregas

      -4

      thoughts??

      1. FPL Pillars
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Gab to Gibbs for free?

      From BBC text feed:

      'Alexis Sanchez hasn't looked quite right since his goal. Is he injured? Or just wasting time at every possible moment?'

      1. TheTinman
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Injured

        1. George Sillett
          • 8 Years

          Is that a fact or just a guess ?

      Anyone else doing same?

      1. FPL Pillars

        I am on same thoughts. Provided Sanchez is ok.
