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.

    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
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Get Holgate or Holding ?

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

      Hold

    2. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Trolling

    3. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      The one who plays twice of course

    4. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Colgate nailed
      Holding a slight risk

  4. sminkypinky

    9 years, 1 month 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
      9 years, 1 month ago

      A

    2. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

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

      1. sminkypinky
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers both.

  5. jdp219

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

    1. sminkypinky
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

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

      😉

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

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

    2. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      1 and it's not even close

  6. Sonic Huth
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    So Hazard - KDB final for how many?

    1. TLF
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month 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

    Checks Marks team - has Cech - bap incoming 😎

  8. Meme2011
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Fab

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

    Gibbs steals the third and final bap lol.

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

    FPL towers obviously did McAuley -> Gibbs this GW

    #JeSuisCech

  11. Magic Bean
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Gabbi Daniels Bailly > Jesus Stephens Holding?

    1. Magic Bean
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      For -4

      1. OLLY G
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Looks good. I would.

        1. Magic Bean
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Cheers

    2. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Not sure, rest of team?

    3. RooneyforLife
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Would do surely

    4. Jamin
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Without a moments hesitation.

  12. Reuser
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

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

  13. Boydinho
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Gabriel -> Defender for 6.4?

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

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

      Vert?

  14. 1966 was a great year for E…
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    New FPL rule:

    Always captain a keeper in a DGW.

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

      I did this week, but probably never again

    2. Evasivo
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      That arguably is quite an old rule!

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

        Have you ever done it?

        1. Evasivo
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

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

  15. OLLY G
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Hazard or Sanchez as cappo?

    1. Magic Bean
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Hazard may not play both games

  16. Evasivo
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    BPs locked in yet?

  17. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Cech bap ASAP.

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

        Alt facts. Fish market confirmed.

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

            😮 😆

  18. Rinseboy
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 1 month 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
      9 years, 1 month ago

      B with matic

    2. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      B Matic

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

    Kocielny back for next gw?

    1. Viper
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      It sounded like he was close today so hopefully

  20. Bouncebackability
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 17 Years
    9 years, 1 month 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
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Go with your gut.

  21. ZeBestee
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month 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
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Good point

      1. RoysCallerAnne
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Indeed, hadn't seen it mentioned yet.

    2. MTPockets
        9 years, 1 month ago

        They may yes.

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

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

    3. Z
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Keep or swap Koscielny?

    4. chelseabrad
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Opinions on Kane > Costa this week?

      1. Crow
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Hell no

    5. ZeBestee
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Cech or Pickford?

    6. Henning
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Most points next gw?

      1. Sane and Courtois

      2. De Bruyne and Pickford

    7. Tommyg
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

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

    8. IRBOX ⚽
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Which transfer should I prioritise (if any)?

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

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

        B

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

      Gabbiadonkey confirmed as having swung from cult hero to true villain

      never owned 😎

    10. Shane86
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      95 points, up to 3k, perfect wildcard.

      1. Hybrid.power
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years

        *polite applause*

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