Gameweek 36 finally comes to an end this evening as Southampton entertain Arsenal at St Maryโ€™s.

Alexis Sanchez will again be the focus of most managersโ€™ 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 Mourinhoโ€™s side. The Gunnersโ€™ 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 weekโ€™s deadline, with over 108,000 taking the plunge.

Yet a blank against Liverpool took his run to one assist in five, as Claude Puelโ€™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 tonightโ€™s 7.45pm encounter.

    Ake has been riding my bench for a long time because of his price. Get rid of him for Holding, or keep him on the off chance Alonso doesn't play both in the DGW?

      Still have BB chip after all.

        What about Amat > Holding.

        Amat has been riding my bench too.

  2. PvA

  6. We Will Klopp you
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Best captain for gw37?
    A) Sanchez
    B) Jesus
    C) Kane

    1. Petr Cech the Table
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      A defender at this rate

    2. Darklord_bg
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Sanchez ๐Ÿ™‚

  7. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    So Sanchez TC beat that pathetic Aguero TC correct?

    1. Chris_H
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      9 plays 14, so small potatoes at least

      1. Magic Bean
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        9x3=27
        14x3=42

        Big beat

        1. DeadStarComing
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          Yeah but most will have captained him anyway. So it's only the one lot of extra points that matters.

    2. Darklord_bg
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Yup... by a little bit

    3. DeadStarComing
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      By 5 points yeah. Not as damaging as some from last season.

    4. dhamphiir
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Aguero got 27 points
      Sanchez will have 42 points including 3 bonus

    If Kosc is back for the weekend, will it be Holding out for him or Monreal to LWB?

    1. Lord Flashheart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Well
      Considering you were prevented from wc now, not sure the extra 5 points were worth it

      1. tm370
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        What do you mean?

        1. Optimus.
          • 15 Years

          Justin Bieber ftw

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          You can't use two chips - this was the perfect week for wc

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          Reply fail sorry

  9. sminkypinky
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Scary going to next week with no City. Anyone else?

    1. Darklord_bg
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Currently yes... but planning to change it

  10. โญ Bemba_Da โญ
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Only question with Holding is, will he play when Kosc is back?

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Him or Gibbs will make way. Both good tonight so its very hard to say. I'd avoid especially if using BB.

    2. walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      If healthy (a big if), wouldn't Kosc and Mustafi start over Holding?

      1. tm370
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Probably but then will Monreal stay at CB?

    3. Forza Papac
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Probably not. I'd assume Wenger likes having a left footer at LCB. Monreal keeps his place

  12. Point-one short

    64 (-4) all out. I blame Bemba for advising me not to do ddg to cech for a hit.

  13. HashAttack
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    -16 in hits this week .. players out 4 points / players in 46 point
    Aguero / Teckers / Hennessey / Valencia / Bailly >> Jesus / Costa / Cech / Monreal / Stephens

    1. Point-one short
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Nice ๐Ÿ™‚

    2. Shifty
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      No brainers though. Would have paid off by just showing up.

      1. HashAttack
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        well people are asking this week whether they should be getting rid of Bailly

        Basically I agree with you .. they just had to show up .. hence I take hits and get rid of dead people regardless of cost

  14. Forza Papac
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Cech could steal a bap

    1. Lizard Lips

    1. Lord Flashheart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Yes

  17. FPL Maldini

    2. JustPark

    3. Reuser
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

    • 13 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    3 - Sánchez (36)
    2 - Mustafi (33)
    1 - Gibbs (28)

    1. Lizard Lips
      • 13 Years

  20. Zikry
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Who's place in the starting 11 is Koscielny supposed to take? Gibbs or Holding

    1. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      It could be either.

    2. JustPark
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      I'd say it'll be Holding. Straight swap. WB stays.

  21. Rainer

    2. Sane and Pickfor in for hazard and Jakupovic so i can upgrade Stephens?

    1. JustPark
      • 10 Years

      8 years, 9 months ago

      Sanchez

    2. The Bandit

      Sane or Kane

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years

        *Sanchez capper ๐Ÿ˜‰

  25. D0GS B0110XS FC

    hazard and sane out for kdb and fabregas?

    1. FPL Pillars
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Hazard to DB,

  26. Sp0rting
    • 10 Years

    Gibson and Robertson to Gibbs and Holding

  27. Viper

    Cech out of the bps..

  28. Differentiator
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    What's the consensus....

    Lukaku -> Jesus (-4)?

  29. Bouncebackability
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    8 years, 9 months ago

    Those getting Saints defenders off the bench for Gabriel I'm not so bothered with. Gabriel was a risk but Saints hardly had the form or fixtures, so it was an understandable benching scenario.

    But those getting Alonso off the bench are beyond jammy and need to take a good hard look at themselves and realise just how lucky they are! Such a poor decision shouldn't be rewarded but that's the beauty of FPL.. Some times you get the breaks, sometimes you don't. The irk it creates in mini leagues too!

    1. Lizard Lips
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      think it is only a few, hopefully. my rank doesn't deserve this

    2. Petr Cech the Table

      They were scared of Negredo
