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.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    What you reckon on Gab & Gab to Holding & Welbz for BB 15 DGWers? Or suggest any alternatives? 0 itb

  3. Buck The Trent
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Get Holgate or Holding ?

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

      Hold

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

      Trolling

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

      The one who plays twice of course

    4. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Colgate nailed
      Holding a slight risk

  4. sminkypinky

    8 years, 9 months ago

    If you had to get rid of one, which would you ditch?
    A) Haz
    B) Sanch

    Purely based on form, not possible rotation.

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

      A

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

      Would depend on my team but no way would I be selling either.

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

        Cheers both.

  5. jdp219
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Better bargain option for gw37...
    1) Holding
    2) Holgate

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

      1) more risk, more reward... possibly
      2) likely 6pts...maybe

      😉

      1. jdp219
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Yep. that's why I was asking...

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

      1 and it's not even close

  6. Sonic Huth
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    So Hazard - KDB final for how many?

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

      It's risky, not straight forward, if WB cause an upset and hold Chelsea to a draw, suddenly Hazard v Watford looks very nice indeed, regardless, Sunderland visit the bridge in 38. And with Pep, KDB is not safe from rotation.

  7. Jafooli
    • 14 Years

    Checks Marks team - has Cech - bap incoming 😎

  8. Meme2011
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    pedro or fabregas for DGW?

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

      Fab

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

    Gibbs steals the third and final bap lol.

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

    FPL towers obviously did McAuley -> Gibbs this GW

    #JeSuisCech

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

    Gabbi Daniels Bailly > Jesus Stephens Holding?

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

      For -4

      1. OLLY G
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Looks good. I would.

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

          Cheers

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

      Not sure, rest of team?

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

      Would do surely

    4. Jamin
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Without a moments hesitation.

  12. Reuser
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    So the two most nailed Arsenal defenders are likely to be - Cech and Monreal?

  13. Boydinho
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Gabriel -> Defender for 6.4?

    Who? Got Alonso, Daniels, Maguire. Yoshida and BB available.

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

      Vert?

  14. 1966 was a great year for E…
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    New FPL rule:

    Always captain a keeper in a DGW.

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

      I did this week, but probably never again

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

      That arguably is quite an old rule!

      1. 1966 was a great year for E…
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Have you ever done it?

        1. Evasivo
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          Once if I recall correctly. This gw I'm going for a defender though

  15. OLLY G
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Hazard or Sanchez as cappo?

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

      Hazard may not play both games

  16. Evasivo
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    BPs locked in yet?

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

    Cech bap ASAP.

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

      he had 26BPS made a save yet only went up 1 instead of the 2 it says

      something fishy going on

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

        Alt facts. Fish market confirmed.

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

          Smells like fish where I am, but my gf was watching a Ryan Gosling film whilst I watch the game. Could be the explanation Lizard is looking for

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

            😮 😆

  18. Rinseboy
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Quick vote for doubles this week please. Which combo do you prefer

    A - Luiz, Fabregas and PJones or
    B - Alonso, Capoue/Matic and Kompany?

    1. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      B with matic

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

      B Matic

  19. Forever In Our Shadow
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Kocielny back for next gw?

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

      It sounded like he was close today so hopefully

  20. Bouncebackability
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Damn, can't do my Hazard to KDB without a hit as I tried to sneak a third City player in on the wildcard and got in Fernandinho (who should have scored against Palace).

    I don't think Hazard out for a minus 4 is the wisest decision though.

    1. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Go with your gut.

  21. ZeBestee
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    if Chelsea win the league at Westbrom, then surely they will rest their players against Watford and i cant see Costa, Hazard and Alonso playing twice

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

      Good point

      1. RoysCallerAnne
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Indeed, hadn't seen it mentioned yet.

    2. MTPockets
        8 years, 9 months ago

        They may yes.

      • Forever In Our Shadow
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        I don't think think there will be wholesale changes but there maybe a few?

    3. Z
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Keep or swap Koscielny?

    4. chelseabrad
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Opinions on Kane > Costa this week?

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

        Hell no

    5. ZeBestee
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Cech or Pickford?

    6. Henning
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Most points next gw?

      1. Sane and Courtois

      2. De Bruyne and Pickford

    7. Tommyg
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Gonna keep hazard. If it wasn't for last week would anyone be even thinking of swapping to KDB?

    8. IRBOX ⚽
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Which transfer should I prioritise (if any)?

      a) Haz > De Bruyne
      b) Bailly > Clichy/Holding

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

        B

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

      Gabbiadonkey confirmed as having swung from cult hero to true villain

      never owned 😎

    10. Shane86
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      95 points, up to 3k, perfect wildcard.

      1. Hybrid.power

      This game is nuts. Me and my league rival have very different teams and we both ended up in the same score this week.
