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.

    Pick one:
    A) Holgate (wat)
    B) Holding (stoke, sun) -4

      A given I don't think Holding will play 4 in a row.

      ouch

    2. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Oh no sorry slight miscalculation. I was 7 points behind going into this GW, so 63 actually.

  3. VFORVANDETA

    Done Gabbi>Costa.

    1. HVT
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      How you fund it?

  4. SARRFACE
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Hi all, just a quick one

    Would you BB or TC Sanchez with this team?

    Caballero

    Davies Stephens Gabriel
    Alli Sanchez Pedro Sane
    Kane Jesus Costa

    Pickford, Yoshida, Kelly, de Roon

    All DGW'ers except Kelly and de Roon

    Thank you.

  5. VDiesel26

    Hazard / Gabbiadini / Coutinho > KDB + Pedro + Jesus for -8?

    Y / N?

    1. ashkroft
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Y

  6. sully29
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    So how many DGWers will you guys have for 37?

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      12

    2. CloudSky
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Currently on 13 + King /Holgate. Imagine this is the case for quite a few people.

    3. Judders
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      13

      1. Judders
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Ye Cloudsky the two very same Single GW players. Am strongly considering moving out Hazard for KDB. Cant really move on Sanchez after him saving my GW. 87 points no hits.

        1. CloudSky
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          Im looking at the same.

    4. Sandy Ravage
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      13 + King & Barnes for -12

    5. Recoba
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      14 + King

    6. Christophe Savage
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      14, siggy my only single game weeker.

    7. KLOPPS GLASSES
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Aiming for 12

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

      12 but making a transfer to make it 13

    9. Yellin' in my Ear
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      14+king

    10. Frank Koscielny
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      14+king

    11. HVT
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      14, but I'm not sure I should count Gabbiadini

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

        Count him.

        Everyone else is.

    12. DaveZubie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      13 at the moment - will likely stay like that

  7. Sweetboi
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Koscielny not playing and Gabriel staying on the bench really messed up my GW.

    1. HVT
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      KOS was always an potential injury tbh, the safe play as posted on here was Monreal/Cech.
      Unlucky tho.

  8. ashkroft
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Used my wc in 35 leaving me with 2fts infront of gw37, is this too kneejerky?
    Eriksen,caballero,gabbi -> KDB, Cech, Anichebe.

    Current team with BB active:
    pickford,caballero
    monreal,alonso,holgate, yoshida, stephen
    Haz,Sanchez, King, Sane, Eriksen
    Jesus, Kane, Gabbi

    1. Yellin' in my Ear
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Why got rid of cab?

      1. Yellin' in my Ear
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Or in English, why would you get rid of caballero?

        1. ashkroft
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          City players maxed if i bring in KDB (cab,jesus,sane). I dont fancy loosing either of those attackers.

    2. mike.mun
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      I wouldn't do that personally, strong side

      Can you do King + holgate for Fabregas + Holding? Gives you a clean DGW line up (if everyone plays two, holding maybe the biggest risk there)

      1. ashkroft
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        No, i have 0.0 itb- so .7 short of that move. I did initally plan to just spend 1 ft to do holgate->holding, but then again- might be too sideways if koscielny is fit again. prolly just get 1 match out of holding incase.

  9. Sandy Ravage
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    has anyone ever got a 200+ point gw?

    1. nkhoughton
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Probably last year people got 100 pts off Alexis and Aguero alone if 1 was tc

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

      Yeah Shearer scored 46 goals against Sunderland in 2001

    3. potatoace
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      got 199 last year DGW.
      Pretty sure some on here smashed that 200 ceiling.

    4. Ógie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Yes i think some guy done it in a dgw back in the Suarez days

    5. Konig Luther
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      yes.. in last suarez year in pl, there was people that got +200pts in that big dgw

    6. mitro
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      3 years ago there was a dgw with yaya and Suarez scoring hattricks I think

    7. Digital-Real
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      few did last seasons DGW

    8. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Yup. I have a screenshot saved at home somewhere

    9. Pinky Blinders
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Yes last season they hulked a double ton team.

  10. seanie3
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    going to bring in another Chelsea mf for their good fixtures, who should I get
    (will fab drop to bench now kante is back)

    a) Pedro
    b) Fabregas

  11. Infamy, Infamy
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Would you prefer:

    A. Cabellero and Monreal
    B. Cech and Daniels.

    A. would require an extra hit. If the GKs look equal, it's effectively whether Daniels to Monreal is worth a hit.

  12. Blue Gaffer
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Jakupovic, Valencia, Clayton---------Caballero, B.Davies, Ndidi -8

    Yes or No?

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

    Disclaimer: this post is not intended for reading by ADIDASORIGINALS.

    So my next question is: Who will get more minutes over the final 2 GWs, KDB or Hazard?

    Would you be worried that KDB could be rotated under Pep, or is he more or less nailed, and therefore a more secure option (minutes-wise) than Hazard?

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

      No one knows, you just want someone to to put kdb nailed so you can justify the move

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

        Nope. I just have your opinion on the matter only. Apologies, but I don't trust myself, nor you! 😀

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

          Who do you trust then coz I'm pretty sure pep don't post on here

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

            I trust people who have meaningful incite more than I trust myself. That's the best I can hope for. Should we all just log off?

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

      I think kdb is more nailed in terms of city

    3. Sweetboi
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      I'd be very surprised if Haz gets more minutes than KDB...think KDB will start both and Haz rested for Watford.

    4. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      KDB should.

      Once Chelsea win the league, Conte has incentive to rest his best players.

      Whereas City will have more of a fight left ahead of them in the PL and no incentive to rest their players even if they didn't.

    5. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      If Chelsea beat West Brom then Hazard may get a rest against Watford. If they don't beat them, the Hazard plays both.

      I would say KDB plays both games. Man City still need to secure top four and Pep will want to finish the season on a high after such a disappointing season.

      1. Smurf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        I have done Hazard to KDB for -4

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

          Wow, for a hit? I'm considering for free.

          1. Smurf
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years
            8 years, 9 months ago

            Yep for a hit. I've gone for some ballys moves this week. I'm not saying it's certain to pay off but I feel happier having KDB in my team and will also captain him.

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

              Do you have Jesus?

              1. Smurf
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 16 Years
                8 years, 9 months ago

                Yep. Also brought in for a hit. For Gabbiadini.

                1. Smurf
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 16 Years
                  8 years, 9 months ago

                  I also already own Sane if that makes any difference.

    6. Hooky
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      I'd wait to see if Kun is fit. If he's back KDB could end up playing much deeper.

      1. Orange Roughy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        This

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

          I'll wait, but I feel with good fixtures, KDB can still inflict damage. He's pretty consistently quality throughout games. But I hesistate because my rivals have neither player, and other priorities, so saving a FT could be beneficial to me (except I have no idea what I would do in GW38 with 2 FTs if I have no injuries haha)

    7. MTPockets
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Probably kdb if Aguero out. But sod's law says Aguero's injury uncertainity will linger so can't be sure about 2nd game.

    8. true_Jerry
      • 9 Years

      so happy with my score! 114! started the gw at 35k lets see if i can make it past 15k!

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years

        No too risky unless dumped out of Europa cup tomorrow

      2. potatoace
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years

        just get anichibi and spend your money elsewhere

      3. @fpl_phenom

        No way, Utd will rest for Europa games

    11. mike.mun
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Quick one, 4pt hit for:

      Britos (Eve, Che) (Injured, but says back for Eve)
      - to -
      Holding (or someone else at 4.4m)

      Cheers

      B. Tadic + Jaku to Cech + mid under 6.3m
      C. Vardy + Tadic + Jaku to - (Rashford, Sterling, Cech) or (Anichebe, De Bruyne, Cech + 1.5m)

      Opinions?

      If you have just reclaimed 1st place?

      Would you try to be a d**k and just bring in his players instead of going for a differential?

            8 years, 9 months ago

      The week when Gabbiadini is sold and haunts with points haul just like Negredo

      1. Man Chest Hair United
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Doubt it

      2. Azerbaijan Shopping Centre
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        yeah true.

        the second dgw was always going to be his more likely

      3. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Only thing Gabbi can haul is save points for the opposing GKs.

      4. @fpl_phenom
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Doubt it but Iv bigger problems so he stays ... il take another 4 points

      Repost

      Best option here

      Coutinho Gabbi Grant Gabriel out
      In KDB Anichebe Willy Gibbs -12
      Or
      Gabriel Grant Blind out for
      Willy Montreal Holding -8

    21. @fpl_phenom
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Is Wenger not really likely to keep the current starting lineup unchanged with Holding in it now that they are getting results??

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

        Koscielny is a certain starter.

        Something gives..Holding or Gibbs take your pick.

        1. @fpl_phenom
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          Who are the wing backs?

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

            Bellerin & Monreal I'd imagine.

      2. Twisted Saltergater
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Couldn't they go back to 4 at the back vs Sunderland to be more attacking? Maybe keep the 5 at the back vs Stoke.

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

          The 3 or 5 is working for them.

          Clean sheets and wins.

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Kos Mustafi Holding with Monreal and Bellerin as wing backs?

        1. @fpl_phenom
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          That's what I thought was most likely

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

          That's really strong.

      For the first time this season, I don't have a clue what moves to make. Any transfers will involve removing a player than could punish me 😕

      I'm without Sanchez, Sane, and Arsenal defence which is making me uneasy. Hmmm.

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

        I'd be fearful of no Sanchez.

        1. Twisted Saltergater
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          yeah, I'm loathe to lose Ozil after just bringing him in, so maybe a double up. I'd really like Sané too, so I'll make that my priority.

        We were all with you on the first part but the 2nd part just made my jaw drop.

        1. Twisted Saltergater
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          I'm looking at Alli + Ozil + Brunt > Sanchez + Sané + Holding

          I think that could cover most bases.

    23. faver
      • 10 Years

      Alli + Sane + Gibson > KDB + Pedro + Holding (-8)
      y or n?

      1. @fpl_phenom
        • 10 Years

        I'm here about to take a hit to get IN Sane!
