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.

    Kosc + King -> Stephens + Sane (-4)
    Yay or nay?

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

      No

    2. v12w12
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Not for me

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

    no one is mentioning Sanchez and looking at his fixtures, I see 30 points × 2 if you cap

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

      You blind?

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

        kindly elaborate, it seems like am missing something

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

      Lol

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

    Sell Rashford or Gabbiandini?

    1. Ibracadabra
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      wait until after Europa League tomorrow night

    2. Earn your Spurs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Rashford likely to only get 1 game and Gabbi unlikely to do anything. Toss of coin

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

    Tough one:
    If I keep both Haz and Sanch, it means i have to keep Gabbi and i have no City!
    Advice badly needed!

    2ft's but have to rid Bailly and Gabriel.

    1. Ibracadabra
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      wait until after Europa League tomorrow night, if United crash out Bailly should play in the league. Gabriel out top priority.

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

        Good advice! Getting too carried away. Cheers!!

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

          Most likely they won't though...

      2. Earn your Spurs
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Now Jones and Smalling are back Bailly seems unlikely to get 2 games either way. Likewise Gabriel.

        To my mind Defenders are less likely to repay a -4 hit so most important is getting in any players who might explode, like Jesus

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

          I agree. That means getting rid of either.

  11. AdamB

    BAPs locked?

  12. Rainer
    • 9 Years

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

    Suggestions for Bailly replacement? 5.4 or less and will be for a hit

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

    Wow. FPL corruption confirmed with that Cech bap re-emergence.

  15. DAN DARE
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    I assume all you fickle managers that were ready to ditch Sanchez for KDB after 60 mins of tonights match have now called him back in and sheepishly given him back his armband back?

    1. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Hazard was always the one on his way

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

      Yeah so dumb, I was never selling him. Hope he punished a few people this week.

  16. Jafooli

    9 years, 1 month ago

    CECH BAP BCK 😎

    FPL caved into pressure.

    Thanks Mark.

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

    Coutinho Gestede Ranocchia --> Gabbiadini Alonso T.Carroll

    Yay or nay?

  18. Hotdogs for Tea
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Justice for Cech

  19. diesel001
    • 9 Years

    Cech back in the BAPS.

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

    Anyone keeping Gabbi? If not who are you replacing?

    1. Ibracadabra
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Keeping for 37, and free transfer to Llorente for 38 is my current plan.

  21. Sp0rting

    Cech pulls a bap out of th back of the net...

    1. Firminooooo

  24. The Polymath

    Cech back on 1 bonus point?

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

      Gibbs had 1 dispossession - I think he must have got an extra one post-90 mins for something, then just now the dispo took it off again.

  25. Earn your Spurs
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Gabbi/ Alli/ Bailly -> Jesus/ Sane/ Stephens for -8?

    Current squad is :-

    Cech, Pickford
    Alonso, Kosc, Yoshida, Bailly, Stones
    Sanchez, Hazard, Alli, King, Capoue
    Kane, Costa, Gabbi

    thanks 🙂

  26. The Tinkerman

    What are the chances Cech stays on 1BP and Sanchez on 3BP. Desperately need those extra points!

    1. Forza Papac
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Can't see anymore changes happening

    2. Tommyg
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years

      Hunk that's pretty fixed now.

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

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

        24 for striker goal

    2. lespaul
      • 16 Years

      there isn't a bonus point team, it is match stats

  28. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
    • 17 Years

    Anyone keeping gabbi for Boro?

    1. Ibracadabra
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      me, because I want 2 FTs for 38 and should get more opportunities to score in 37 as Austin didn't even make the bench today.

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

        Think so.

    2. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      yep other fires to sort and hard to find a replacement wothout cash

    3. Petr Cech the Table
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Might as well. Not much options at that price.

    4. The Tinkerman
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah, he has a DGW. More pressing matters at hand.
