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.

    Evening all, which move looks best with my 2FT
    a) Alli+Gabriel->Sane+Monreal
    b) Alli+Gabriel+Gabbi>KDB+Monreal+5.9 striker(-4)
    or any other suggestions welcome, cheers

    Willy Pickford
    Alonso Yoshida Stephens Gabriel Holgate

    1. Max City

      B

  2. FPL Pillars

    Hazard out for KBD for FT?

    I will keep Costa and Alonso.

    1. Rhinos
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Thsts an original and thought provoking post

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months 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
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 2 months 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, 2 months ago

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

      Tough

      1. FPL Pillars
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        thinking it's worth it presuming haz rested vs wat

    4. Morgs
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months 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
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

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

    Pickford / Henn
    Monreal / Kompany / Alonso / Bertrand / Stephens
    KDB / Eriksen / Hazard / King / Zaha
    Gabbi / Jesus / Kane

    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)
    4. Something else
    5. Hold

  4. Viper

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

    1. Arctic monkeys
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      let me guess, Double soton and pickford ?

      1. Viper
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Caballero, double saints, Albrighton

        1. Arctic monkeys
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

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

  5. Vamonos
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months 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
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Clichy?

      1. Vamonos
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

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

    2. liiusions
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

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

      1. Vamonos
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Fell straight into this one 🙁

  6. Arctic monkeys
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

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

    1. Duffy Dunk
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Yes!

    2. matiakez
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 2 months 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, 2 months 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, 2 months ago

        How is it going for you ?

    4. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

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

      1. Arctic monkeys
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        A ft of a defence cheapy to Holding is tempting.

    5. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Played 35, Bailly and Coutinho out for -4

  7. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

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

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

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

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

        Lol

  8. Deulofail
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months 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, 2 months ago

      Why get rid of Haz?

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

        Because KDB

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

      Save.

  9. Duffy Dunk
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months 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, 2 months ago

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

    2. Baz
      • 16 Years

    Good move?

    Bailly to Vertonghen -4

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

      Yup

  11. @fpl_phenom
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

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

    1. Rhinos
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Not necessarily. Kos fit means someone has to drop out

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

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

    3. potatoace
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

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

    4. MTPockets
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Sounds a lot like Gabriel certainty last week.

  12. ZLATAN'S PONYTAIL

    Pick Caballero
    Stephens Alonso Holgate/Holding Cedric Monreal

    For BB...good to go?

  13. JaydenLFC87
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Which should I start next week??

    A) King (BUR)

    B) Brunt (CHE/mci)

    1. Baz
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      A

  14. woody3260
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

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

  15. Frank Koscielny
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months 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, 2 months ago

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

      1. Frank Koscielny
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 months 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
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Zaha did drop

  16. Mattymo23
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Holding a good shout

    1. @fpl_phenom
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

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

      1. spursmad
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

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

  17. Old Wulfrunian
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

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

    1. @fpl_phenom
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

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

  18. BellyKlopp
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    bailly to yoshida or holding?

  19. the snazzy viking
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

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

    1. GS456
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Yep 105.

      1. FPL Maldini
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        No Cech for me

        But yes TC Sanchez

    2. ZLATAN'S PONYTAIL
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Sanchez TC. No Cech

  20. The Overthinker
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months 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
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Very nice, Maguire to holding?

  21. MidTableFantasy
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

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

    Caballero (LEI, WBA) ----- (wat)
    Azpi (wba, WAT) ----- (SUN)
    Yoshida (mid, MUN) ----- (STK)
    Vertonghen (MUN, lei) ----- (hul)

    Hazard (wba, WAT) ----- (SUN)
    Sane (LEI, WBA) ----- (wat)
    Alli (MUN, lei) ----- (hul)
    Sanchez (stk, SUN) ----- (EVE)

    Jesus (LEI, WBA) ----- (wat)
    Costa (wba, WAT) ----- (SUN)
    Gabbi (mid, MUN) ----- (STK)

    Bench:
    Boruc (BUR) ----- (lei)
    King (BUR) ----- (lei)
    Stephens (mid, MUN) ----- (STK)
    Holgate (WAT) ----- (ars)

    Cheers

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

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

    2. the snazzy viking
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      BB GW37, TC Holgate in GW38 for the bants

  22. BellyKlopp
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Bailly and Benteke to Jesus and Ake?

  23. Lizard Lips
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Koscielney screwed me over.

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

  24. FPL Maldini

  25. ak47tos
    • 12 Years

    A) Albrighton
    B) Moses
    C) other at 5.5

    Ta

    1. GS456
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Albrighton looks good for an assist at least.

  26. pablo discobar

    Mustafi nailed now fit?

  27. Kanteisking
    • 9 Years

    Kane and Blind to Costa and Vertong?

    1. BellyKlopp
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      yep

      1. spursmad
        • 13 Years

        Not sure about Kane to costa. Think costa will be rested
        For the Watford game

    2. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Depends how many frees you have. 2 if you have 2. 1 if you have 1. (Though not sure about Holding)

  29. GS456
    • 10 Years

    Anything needed?
    Bench Boosting

    Cech - Pickford
    Holgate, Alonso, Stephens, Yoshida, Clichy
    Eriksen, Hazard, Sanchez, Sane, Albrighton
    Kane, Costa, Gabbiadini.

    Only really considering KDB in for Hazard.
