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.

        Gabbi to troll like Negredo did if sold by the masses?

        He has another chance after all..

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

          Yeah he might, but his replacement might also

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

          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.

      6. Touching Clough
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Help please

        Which scores higher

        A) Gabbi + Hazard + 8

        B) Fabregas + Vardy

        Thanks

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

          A easy

      7. Feloh
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        0.1 short of sterling to sane.

        should I do I take -8 to do it or just hold. I have Jesus too.

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

          Hold, -8 for a somewhat sideways transfer makes little sense.

      8. Cabellafan
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Benteke, JWP, Blind ----> Jesus, Matic/Ndidi, Holding ???

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

          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.

          1. Cabellafan
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            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??

      9. Meme2011
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        is Gabriel, Holgate, King >>> Holding, Yoshida, Pedro

        worth -8?

        1. how now brown cow
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          I can't see Pedro playing both games, and I own him.

          Think I'd go Gabriel to Holding perhaps.

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

            You think Holding over Gibbs?

            1. how now brown cow
              • 11 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              No idea frankly!

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

        Holding going to play two games? 4.0 for arsenal defence is dirt cheap

        1. Sp0rting
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Is it?

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

            Ahaha...

          2. Pasqualinho
            • 17 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            It's dirt cheap for any defender. Even Amat.

            Okay, maybe not Amat.

      11. Old Bull
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Ok, one last throw of the dice. TC from this lot

        Ali
        Costa
        Vardy
        Sanchez

        Eriksen

        1. chelseabrad
          • 11 Years

          Costa

        2. Scapegoat Salah
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Sod it, end of season fun differential....Vardy!

      12. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I'm taking Gabriel and Fernández out tonight.
        Drinks on me.

        1. how now brown cow
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Could be a lively evening.

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

        Cech Pickford
        Alonso Monreal Yoshida Stephens Holgate
        Hazard Ozil King Eriksen Sane
        Kane Gabbi Anichebe

        1FT & 0.2 ITB

        Got my TC chip left to play this week, do I stick with my gut and leave it on Hazard or put a punt on Cech?

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

          Kane for sure.

        2. Here's Tom with the We…
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Punt on Alonso could work??

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

            I like that idea but is he nailed to play 180 mins if Chelsea win the league vs west brom?

            1. Old Bull
              • 12 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              Are any of them?

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

                Cech

            2. Here's Tom with the We…
              • 14 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              I think so. I don't think Conte will rest players.

              Just my opinion of course

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

        First to 3 wins

        Lukaku -> Jesus (-4)?

        yay or Nay

        1. Je suis le chat
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Nay.

        2. Old Wulfrunian
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          no

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

          Yay

        4. Old Bull
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Hasn't looked fully back to fitness in the last couple of games

          1. Old Bull
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            No sod it, do it.

      15. Old Wulfrunian
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Holgate or Prodl?

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

          Holding

      16. Here's Tom with the We…
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        For gw 37

        A)Fabregas and Sane
        B) KDB and Matic

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

          A

          1. Here's Tom with the We…
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            It's tough as I'd prob captain KDB

      17. marco_atk85
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        which one is more secure in place of Gabriel

        A) holding
        b) gibbs

        1. Sp0rting
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          A

        2. Master Kane
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          That's my transfer to decide over the next 2 days.
          If kos and mustafi play, who is alongside?

        3. Benster
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Will Holding not get shifted by Kosc?

          Is Gibbs more nailed?

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

          Surely Gibbs more nailed

      18. HashAttack
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Not many players rested tonight - was anyone?

        I'd feel better about Chelsea players as opposed to Arsenal ones ... back to back dgw will definitely have an affect

        1. how now brown cow
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Arsenal something to play for in both though. Chelsea probably not.

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

            So the players aren't really tired .. it's all in there heads?

            They could play twice but I think their performances will be down ... I'll still have Cech and Sanchez but don't want any other defenders

      19. Optic1
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        My defence turned up this week. 43points from the 4 of them. Bout time!

        (Willy, Alonso, Kompany, Monreal)

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

          42 for me - Kompany on the bench, should have dropped Kane or Hazard and played 4 at the back

        2. FPL Blow-In
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          58 from 5 here

      20. Feloh
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        do we keep or ditch j. king for a dgwker? and do we think sterling starts at least one of the two city games or should I take a -4 and bring in fabregas

      21. marko_v_111
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        112 points this gw with no hits.

        Roll on BB

        Only choice is around Bailly. Stick or twist but I guess tomorrow will help hopefully

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

        If Koscielny is confirmed out of at least one game next week, Is thus worth a hit?

        Koscielny & Albrighton - > Holding & Fabregas

        1. Sp0rting

        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.

      29. Sp0rting
