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.

    Double change Saints, both attacking but Gabbi to stay on apparently.

    Can't believe my rival saved his TC...and BB for final two weeks

    1. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      He might not use them

    2. Lizard Lips

      seems mad that, as final week often a lottery should have used this week and next.

      I would fall in love if I received a "hey, can we do 6pm instead? TC'd Sanchez this week and want to watch the rest of the match"

      1. soup natsi
        • 11 Years

        I'd be creeped out

    4. EmreCan Hustle

      No. Actually...no!

    And with that Sanchez goal, my mini-league is over. TC'd Ozil tonight as a differential to the other guy's Sanchez (chasing 50 points).

    Crepe.

    1. sillyhilly69
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I've pulled back a 60 point deficit after my ML used BB and scored 27 lololol

    2. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Ozil got the assist. You're still in this!

      1. moz_1983
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        He captained Sanchez who is currently pn for 3 baps πŸ™

  12. Rainer

    Gabriel glued to that bench?

    1. S.Agueroooooo
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      With the other subs available I think other subs are more likely... should be okay

  13. Lizard Lips
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Dearest Gabbiadini, please score past my player Cech to ease the LK being out pain!

    Anyone else suffer the problem of not being sure who is about to take the attempt i.e. just then JWP almost netted so didn't want to score but I thought it was Gabbi so was cheering it on, always hurts when you cheer a bad goal by mistake!

  14. Knowledgeable meerkat

    Ramsey f*** off seriously

  15. Fowler23

  16. jdp219

    Enough of this Gabriel talk, anyone have odds that Stephens gets a goal? That would really help me out. πŸ˜‰

    1. Fowler23
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Own goal more likely

    2. jdp219
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I'd be OK with an assist, even.

  25. Frank Black
    • 13 Years

    I was planning on doing Vardy to Kane but Gabbiadini to Kane seems a much better move.
