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.

    Watching the Madrid's, has anyone actually looked like scoring?

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Saul, Griezmann, Isco

  2. JJO
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Lot of foreign managers
    All trying to play some low risk,high percentage ball possesion games
    With players not used to/not able to play that kind of games
    Not enough quality
    Result---> 1 of the worst pl seasons I remember

      I've found it very difficult to watch this season, often flicking off halfway through matches.

      1. JJO
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Me too
        And thats the first time for me to do things like that while watching PL
        I had a feeling like I am watching some Seria A games from 2010

    1. Mílanista

      Depends how many Arsenal and Southampton players you have to get rid of.

    Anyone else throw Stephens deep on your bench? I very honestly expected Holgate to get more out of this week, stephens with 2-3.

    1. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      1st sub. Considered playing him ahead of Sane or Cahill in all honesty. Wouldnt have considered Holgate, but you don't have to believe me πŸ˜€

    2. Reuser

      Have had him since gw32 and have been lucky enough to get his 9 and 8 point games off the bench.

      Started him this week.

      At this rate, captaining him in 37.....

  6. soumyeah

    cheering for mutual clean sheets is depressing and stressful

  7. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Just me still watching the Madrid game for the fights, fouls and reds? πŸ˜€

  8. Digital-Real

    Once again defence wins in DGW

  9. Hybrid.power

    Siggy -> Sterling/Sane(-4)

  11. JJO

      Gabriel last 10 minutes would help my rank ☺

  14. The Royal Robin

    What was the average before tonight's game?

  15. That Was Easy!
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Got convinced on here to play TC instead of BB...

    Pickford (9); JWP (3), Holgate (2), Stephens (8) wth perhaps more to come...I would've taken that in a heartbeat...might not read through this forum until the end.

    1. Tansey
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Hate these posts

      Why did you ask if you did not want opinions

      1. That Was Easy!
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I know, and I meant I wish I would've listened to myself. Just interesting, not upset at all and trust opinions on here!

        1. Tansey
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Fair enough. Seems many on here are on the same boat as you this week

          1. That Was Easy!
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Agreed, definitely a focus of mine next season is to only take things on here as information, not scripture.

      2. That Was Easy!
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Jesus christ, easy everyone. Read my below comments. Ruthless...

    2. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      At the end of the day its your decision. Most of the time the opinions on here mean nothing

      1. That Was Easy!
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Agreed, I'm not saying it wasn't my choice. I just find myself sticking with the heard too often, hoping in my 3rd real season I can strike away from that.

    3. F4L

      looool

      1. That Was Easy!

        9 years, 1 month ago

        you're all jokes...read my comments below...taking my post completely out of context. dear god.

    4. sminkypinky

      Good on ya!

    5. Christophe Savage

      You make your decisions, not the community.

      1. That Was Easy!
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        When in god's name did I say that I don't make my own decisions? I'm saying I was convinced, and I'm not ashamed of that as these forums have a lot of great minds in them. I just think next season my big goal will be to trust my instinct a little more.

    6. That Was Easy!
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Let me clarify, I'm not upset, I trust and truly enjoy this forum, I just wonder sometimes if I don't have enough faith in my own judgement. Nothing along the lines of "I hate these posts" or anything like that is deserving...

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

      Swings and roundabouts. If I'd have followed the crowd on here for the first 25-30 GWs I wouldn't have been 1M+ most of the season. But now that I am giving the comments here more respect I'm missing out on points I would have gotten if I gave myself more respect. I understand the frustration, but as people say, it's your decision.

      1. That Was Easy!
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Yes, precisely. Read my comments, thanks for a reasonable reply!

      Hahaha that's my BB in 36.
      Triple captain in 37.
      But I fear the same bench in 37 will also do ok.
      It's a risk I took hoping sanchez would be average.
      Oh the nerves will end up killing me, by the end of gw37 I'll know if I gambled right or wrong

  16. soumyeah

    Gabriel sub in 8 minutes

  17. F4L

    1. FP El Wonky
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Yes it is

  20. MidTableFantasy

    9 years, 1 month ago

    Since this game is a snoozefest.... I have BB and TC left. Which would you use for GW37 and GW38?

    Caballero (LEI, WBA) ----- (wat)
    Azpi (wba, WAT) ----- (SUN)
    Yoshida (mid, MUN) ----- (STK)
    Vertonghen (MUN, lei) ----- (hul)

    Hazard (wba, WAT) ----- (SUN)
    Sane (LEI, WBA) ----- (wat)

    Bench:
    Boruc (BUR) ----- (lei)
    King (BUR) ----- (lei)
    Stephens (mid, MUN) ----- (STK)

    1. FP El Wonky

      Surely TC in 37. DGW.
      But picking a player that plays all or most of the 2 matches is tricky.
      BB in 37 does not look that great. Its not like you have a full bench of dgw'ers.
      Bench boost 38 then.
      I could be wrong. I just think there's more points in a double gameweek triple captain
