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.

      Is Cazorka still alive? Has he even played one min this season? I miss him, probably closest thing to a leader arsenal has

      He is but I don't expect a return almost a waste of a chip this week

    Why am I even watching this SOU-ARS pre-season warmup match?

    1. Alan_T

      What channel.?

  14. timPgoodwin
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Because it's a game, and because I hate my ML leader who is 60 points ahead of me ...

    Hazard - KdB (C)
    Ozil - Fabregas

    For a -4

  15. Urchin

    Last time we had DGW match on UCL night, Barca overturned a 4 goal deficit and Kun (TC) blanked,
    Deja vu?

    1. Pierce34
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Kun got a goal in that DGW at least, unlike Sanchez...

  16. Darklord_bg

    Is Sanchez playing?

    1. nkhoughton
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Yes

      1. Darklord_bg
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        I have not heard his name yet

        1. nkhoughton
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Wait until he has a tantrum

  17. Ninja Škrtel

    Has Sanchez done anything?

    1. Sponge-worthy
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Not yet.

  19. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Ozil must of went triple Saints at the back

    1. Chucky
      • 11 Years

      😀

    2. Sterling is £11Mill..…
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      U know not a single club has expressed interest in signing ozil, confirmed by wenger. How he has fallen...

      1. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Real rarely let go of the good players 😉

      2. Old Man
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years

        On the basis of his form this season no-one can be surprised.

  20. Somalion
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Ox, one great cross last match, now firing as many useless crosses in as he possibly can.

    1. Sponge-worthy
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Plot twist: He aimed at forster's gloves.

  21. Hybrid.power

    This is going to end in disappointment

        Is that the username he uses on here? I've heard someone say RCA or something along those lines before, though I'm not sure if that is an abbreviation or his actual name.

      Is it too late to join or is it like the members league?

      1. Godot - Fashanu Zealand
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        OR 32, we wouldn't stand a chance. That's seriously impressive though, fair play.

      2. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Hijacking a league at this stage would be pretty shitty tbh

    5. Godot - Fashanu Zealand
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Now I recognise his grav, thanks everyone

  24. Somalion
    • 15 Years

    Can only imagine Sanchez's frustration dealing with these berks day in day out.

    1. Only a Hazard of time
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Got him captained, he looks like he's lost all motivation

  25. Chucky
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Waiting for someone to shout 'OMG Sanchez/Gabbi'

    1. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Bemba doesnt seem to be here so it seems unlikely

    2. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      OMG...The Boys in Red

  26. Lizard Lips
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    If you are own Yoshida Cech Alexis (c) Gabbi what on earth would you be cheering for, or too many combos to understand?!

    1. Sterling is £11Mill..…
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Ur cheering for whichever players u have which are least owned

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Isn't it obvious?

      1. Lizard Lips
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        my guess is 5-0 alexis scoring them all arsenal clean sheet

    3. Magic Bean
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Alexis goal

    4. GreenArrows
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      I own Yoshida, Stephens, Ozil and Gabbi....Ozil and Stephens goal due to nursing 9 point ML lead

    5. Pierce34
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      All of them to score, including Cech?

    6. Postman Ty
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      That's exactly what I have. It's sort of a mess no matter what happens, but should be guaranteed some points. I would like a 3-0 with Sanchez hatty 😉 captain points trump Yoshida.

  27. Botman and Robben
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Hmm, Atletico making an early comeback...

  28. Magic Bean
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Cmon Sanchez!

    1. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Looks to me like he wants to look like he is trying. He always gives everything but I am about 95% sure he is gone looking at this performance.

  29. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Doudble clean sheet from Yoshi and Monreal then. Nice.

    1. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Bookies odds on over 2.5 goals seemed a bit short tonight alright

    2. nkhoughton
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Are you watching the game?

      1. Bubz
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        No I'm watching the Atletico game, but I can imagine

  30. Albrightondknight
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    This is dire. I am turning over to CL.

    1. Postman Ty
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      That's one hell of a comeback by Atletico right now.

      1. Albrightondknight
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Probably missed all the goals by now. 🙂
