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.

    Hazard out for KBD for FT?

    I will keep Costa and Alonso.

    1. Rhinos
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Thsts an original and thought provoking post

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

      I've the same set and I'm considering it although it is some risk. Less tempted now as KDB would have been captain but now its back on Alexis... Deadline move!

      1. FPL Pillars
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        On Alonso as capt right now... eeek! Tough to know who's nailed to play both with rotation hot this part of season.

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

      I think it's too risky but it could be oh so profitable.

      Tough

      1. FPL Pillars
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        thinking it's worth it presuming haz rested vs wat

    4. Morgs
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Same here - am leaning towards doing it. Think hazard more at risk of missing the second game because they'll have won the league and he'll be hungover

      1. FPL Pillars
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I don't think haz will play both, if I did I wouldn't be thinking of this.

    0 itb 90k OR

    Currently 60 behind my mini leader. Happy to risk and take hits:

    1. Hazard + Hen > Ozil + Cech (-8)
    2. Hazard + Eriksen > Fabregas/Willian + Sanchez (-8)
    3. Gabbi + Hen > Anichebe/Borini + Cech (-8)

    My bench ended up on 29 points, I'd very happily take that on BB!

    1. Arctic monkeys
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      let me guess, Double soton and pickford ?

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

        Caballero, double saints, Albrighton

        1. Arctic monkeys
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          25 here as well, let's hope next week's bench is better.

  5. Vamonos
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Need Gabriel out of my team for BB next week.

    Can afford 5.4m right now so who's the best option?

    a) Gibbs
    b) Holding
    c) Huth
    d) Kone
    e) other

    This is for a hit but hoping one of the above will be guaranteed the 2 dgw so it'll basically cancel out (if one gets a cs then that's a huge bonus).

    Thanks

    1. Professor Abel X
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Clichy?

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

        Ah, should've said already have 3 Man City, thanks though

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

      I'd gamble on Holding. Although he could be another trap

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

        Fell straight into this one 🙁

  6. Arctic monkeys
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Those who just played the WC, you concidering a hit ?

    1. Duffy Dunk
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Yes!

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

      Played in 35 but think I'll go -4 need to shift Gabriel and maybe a Soton attacker

    3. Tansey
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Played mine in 35, took a -8 for 36, have taken a -4 so far for 37 will probably make another transfer

      1. Arctic monkeys
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        How is it going for you ?

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

      Saving FT or Hazard -> KDB, nothing in between.

      1. Arctic monkeys
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        A ft of a defence cheapy to Holding is tempting.

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

      Played 35, Bailly and Coutinho out for -4

  7. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years

    Why did Cech get bap after it was removed? Does Mark own him by any chance?

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

      You mean you didn't see all of Lizard's posts?

      1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…

        Lol

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

    A) Hazard > KDB
    B) Save for GW38

    Cech Pickford
    Alonso Cahill Monreal Stephens Yoshi
    Hazard Alli Eriksen Sane Albrighton
    Kane Anichebe Jesus

    1. JaydenLFC87
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Why get rid of Haz?

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

        Because KDB

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

      Save.

  9. Duffy Dunk
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Cech Caballero
    Alonso Koscielny Smith Maguire Yoshida
    Sanchez Hazard Alli Eriksen King
    Kane Jesus Barnes

    1 FT , 0.4 itb

    Please let me know your thoughts on these:

    A) if he's not fit, Koscielny->Monreal?
    B) Hazard->De Bruyne? or Hazard->Sane?
    C) Take out any of Alli-Eriksen-Kane?
    D) Maguire->Stephens? since he has dgw
    E) any other suggestions?

    Thank you

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

      A yes
      B only for free (KDB)
      C keep
      D only for free (perhaps priority over B)

    2. Baz

    Good move?

    Bailly to Vertonghen -4

    1. ZLATAN'S PONYTAIL
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Yup

  11. @fpl_phenom
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Holding a good option for GW37? Should play both right?

    1. Rhinos
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Not necessarily. Kos fit means someone has to drop out

    2. Professor Abel X
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Either him or Gibbs drops out for Kos, worth the risk at 4.0

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

      dunno .
      if kos returns wouldn't it be
      Mustafi Kos Monreal

    4. MTPockets
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Sounds a lot like Gabriel certainty last week.

    5. ZLATAN'S PONYTAIL
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Pick Caballero
      Stephens Alonso Holgate/Holding Cedric Monreal

      For BB...good to go?

    6. JaydenLFC87
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Which should I start next week??

      A) King (BUR)

      B) Brunt (CHE/mci)

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

        A

    7. woody3260
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Jaku, McAuley, Walcott, Benteke > Cech, Luiz, Albrighton, Vardy -12?

    8. Frank Koscielny
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Feeling really stupid about bringing in Ox in a hurry last night. Think he'll be out from the dgw?

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

        'Stupid' is the wrong assessment for an injury. I have no idea though sorry

        1. Frank Koscielny
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Cheers. He wasn't about to rise and Zaha wasn't dropping either. That's why it's such a reckless move

          1. @fpl_phenom
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Zaha did drop

    9. Mattymo23
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Holding a good shout

      1. @fpl_phenom
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Can he keep a fit Kocielny out of the team? Or is it Gibbs that gets dropped?

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

          It makes sense to drop Gibbs
          But this is Wenger we're talking about here

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

      It's worth King->Fabregas/Mata for -4?

      1. @fpl_phenom
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I don't say no, King is my single gw gem

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

      bailly to yoshida or holding?

    12. the snazzy viking
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Everyone who got a century, I'm guessing you had Cech and San(TC)hez?

      1. GS456
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Yep 105.

        1. FPL Maldini
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          No Cech for me

          But yes TC Sanchez

      2. ZLATAN'S PONYTAIL
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Sanchez TC. No Cech

    13. The Overthinker
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Views about this for GW37 would be nice

      Using BB.
      Got my FT.

      Cech
      Cahill Alonso Maguire
      Hazard Alli king ozil Sane
      Jesus Kane

      Jaku holgate anichebe Stephens

      1. @fpl_phenom

    14. MidTableFantasy
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Still have BB and TC. Which would you use for GW37 and which for GW38? Player (GW37) ---- (GW38):

      Azpi (wba, WAT) ----- (SUN)

      Jesus (LEI, WBA) ----- (wat)
      Costa (wba, WAT) ----- (SUN)

        Using BB in 38 with so much rotation kicking in is bonkers.

      2. the snazzy viking
        • 9 Years

        BB GW37, TC Holgate in GW38 for the bants

    15. BellyKlopp
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Bailly and Benteke to Jesus and Ake?

    16. Lizard Lips

      Koscielney screwed me over.

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

        How? 6 points makes that big a difference to you? If he'd played it would have been a different game and they might have conceded (I had Kosc like you)

      1. GS456
        • 10 Years

        Albrighton looks good for an assist at least.
