Dugout Discussion – Southampton vs Arsenal

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

          He's an awkward one because of the price bracket but he still has two potential games to score and *can* score goals. I wouldn't be so keen to ship out for hits.

          Tough spot, def get Tekkers and Blind out. JWP arguably still worth keeping but that depends a lot on how you see it. Leicester with tough fixtures, Matic probably scores 6 points next week.

            I have the exact money to do the moves with Matic. Think I will choose him over Ndidi beacause of CS potential. Could also pop up with an assist or odd goal.

            Holding is more unsure. But he has to start at least one game??

        Which combo?

        A)Tadic,Anichibe
        B) Albrighton,Gabbiadini

        Not the best I know but I have to keep one of the Southampton boys or it's a -16 hit.
