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.

    Such a shame there's no one else in Gabbiadini's price range

    1. Home Run Baker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years

      Llorente

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

        This

      2. Viper
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Good call. Hard to lose a dgwk player though

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

          For me it would require taking a hit so it really isn't very sensible, but I'd be lying if I said I hadn't considered Llorente heavily. Sunderland is a must win game, they can't defend and Llorente + Siggy are Swansea's only hope.

    2. matiakez
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Yeah are we just stuck now?

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

        As above, Llorente it seems is the next best bet

    3. AF90
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Really want to keep Lukaku over him but just haven't got a way of doing it!

      1. Whazza
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Step 1: Don't make the move.
        Step 2: There is no step 2, you're done.

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

      Yeah he really is a hit to get out. Either upgrade or dump him down to Anichebe, no in between.

    5. Forever In Our Shadow

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    2. V-2 Schneiderlin
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Lol @ me indeed. Keeping him.

    4. Rains of Castamere
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Got Kane and Lukaku's score combined πŸ˜‰

    5. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Agreed. -Owner

    6. KLOPPTOMANIA
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Yup, only 97pts πŸ™ Gabbi's due a haul now πŸ™‚

  16. Sp0rting
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Zaha and Gibson to Fab and Gibbs?

    For a -8, of course

    1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Pretty close but probably yes, far more upside with the latter. No idea on Gibbs nailed-ness of Fab's mins though

  17. Robben Mee Blind
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Pieters and Zaha to Sanchez (C ) & Koscielney (-4) was so close to being a perfect move πŸ™

  18. Davido989
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    I'm in favour of giving Terry's PL medal to Gabriel.

  19. ptr88
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    What do you think is best för DGW37:

    A) Monreal & Kos
    B) Alonso & Azpi

    I now have Monreal & Alonso but want to double up one of Arsenal or Chelsea def.

    1. Karan_G14
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      I'd keep what you have.

      1. ptr88
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Yes I wrote a little bit confusing..I will keep what I have but want to transfer out Huth to Azpi/Kos.

  23. The 12th Man
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Think I'm going to take a -12 hit this week.
    Gibson,Gabriel,Alli,Gabbiadini > Kompany,Gibbs,KDB,Anichibe.

    I have a 14 point lead in my main ML over second place.
    He has his WC to play but no BB.

    I have my BB so need to maximise my bench.
    Take the hit to get this team
    DDG,Foster
    Alonso,Yoshida,Gibbs,Kompany,Bailly
    Sanchez,Hazard,KDB,Tadic,T.Carroll
    Kane,Jesus,Anichibe

    1. FPL Footy Show Pod
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Like it - Tadic I'm not sold on

      1. The 12th Man
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        I don't either but I'm stuck with him this week unless I take more hits. Tadic > Fabregas for -16

  24. rocky7st
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Is Sane + Gibbs or 6.7 mid + Kompany better?

  25. Rains of Castamere
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    73pts with no Sanchez. Fairly satisfied but an Alexis blank would have been a huge huge green.

  26. Essrick
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Gabriel and Hazard > Alonso & Fabregas for -4?

  27. FPL Footy Show Pod
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Love to Holding

    Alli & Love to Eriksen & Stephens

    Gabbi & Love to Anichebe & Vert

    Already own Holgate - on a BB and 50 off the pace in ML with top 2 having no chips left

  28. GE
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Cech or Caballero?

    Gibbs or Holding?

    Which combo? πŸ™‚

  29. Colonel Shoe 肝池
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    gibbs or holding

    the new gabriel dilemma

  30. JackBetherz
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    A) Lowton to Gibbs/Holding -4 (if A then which one of the two)
    B) Cahill to Monreal -4
    C) Stick
    Thanks in advance
