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.

    Would you do Hazard to Sane to fund Jakupovic/Maguire to Cech/Kompany?

    1. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      No

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

      Yes

    3. Jamin
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Probably. Definitely if for only a -4

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

      Not terrible.

      Yes

  2. Jay_

    Do i keep Mustafi now? BB next week.

    1. L S P
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      I would - he'll play ahead of Gabriel if Kos is back i reckon

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

        Mustafi and Kosc are the main 2. Holding/Monreal for the other spot.

        1. L S P
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          yeah, with Ox's injury i would expect:

          Hector-Mustafi-Kos-Monreal-Gibbs

          but it also could be

          Hector-Mustafi-Kos-Holding-Monreal

    2. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      I am thinking of bringing in for Valencia to double up with Monreal so yes I say keep

    3. Jay_
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Thanks all 🙂

  3. Oh Mane Mane
    • 10 Years

    Who's the best striker for GW37 valued no more than 5.5m??

    1. L S P
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      this is a terrible question

    2. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Mark Hughes

    3. Legomane
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Ayew...Barnes..Anichebe
      0.1 off vokes

  4. Kiwivillan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Probably crazy but have exact money for

    Gabriel+King+Gabbi to

    Yoshi+KDB+Anichebe

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

      Just Gabriel > Yoshida/Holding

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

      Looks good but agree Gabriel to Yoshi good

  5. Sweetboi
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Which one?

    1) Sané

    2) KDB

    1. nkhoughton
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Kdb

  6. L S P
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Cech/Cab
    Alonso-Daniels-Fernandez-Stephens-Robertson
    Sanchez-Hazard-Sane-King-JWP
    Costa-Jesus-Giroud

    .3 ITB and BB

    Robertson->Yoshida and call it a day?

    Cheers

    1. Jamin
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Probably the sensible thing to do

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

    bailly set to fall tonight? I see he is -37 on fplstatitistics but I don't know what that means..

    1. L S P
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      no -100+ means he's falling

    2. I Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      No. -100 would indicate a possible drop.

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

        thanks

        1. L S P
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          oh sure thank Bane!

          I'm scary too! 😉

    3. Yellin' in my Ear
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Means no chance. Changes at around +/- 100

  8. mitro
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    TC Sanchez came through today

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

      Sweet, happy captainer

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

      Sweeeet

    3. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      14 is a decent score for two games, but I can't shake the feeling that at least one of next GW's captaincy options will out preform it.

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

        So what? Next week is BB week

        1. bitm2007
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          but could have had 24 points from BB this GW, with TC still to come.

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

            Irrelevant.

            1. bitm2007
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 12 Years
              9 years, 2 months ago

              not if the total points I would have got from BB this GW and TC next week total more than I get from using the two chips the other way round.

      2. L S P
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        40+ points from a TC is a job well done - end of story.

      3. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        I had 14 pts on bench so TC Sanchez and BB next week will surely pan out as best option

        1. bitm2007
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          hope so.

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

      Bet you were worried

  9. Buck The Trent
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Which one will score more, A or B ?

    A Holgate (WAT), King (BUR)
    B Monreal (DGW), Caroll (SUN)

    1. nkhoughton
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      A

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

      B.

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

    Rough with the smooth.

    Smooth - cech

    Rough - kosc injury, rival brought in Gabriel only for him to not get a minute - 1st sub is that daft 15 pointer Sunderland defender.

    He's now ahead of me by 5 points aka that dratted missing clean sheet

  11. Yellin' in my Ear
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    A) Gabriel to Gibbs
    B) Gabriel to Cedric (means Soton defensive triple)
    C) Alli and Gabriel to Sane and Kompany / Otamendi / Monreal / other £6m def

    Cheers

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

      C. Sane / Kompany

      1. Yellin' in my Ear
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Cheers, would be for -4 but think it'd be worth it

  12. Marquis-Cha-Cha
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Any suggestions for this team? Plan to Bench Boost this coming week.

    Cech / Pickford
    Alonso / Huth / Vert / Yoshida / Holgate
    Hazard / Ericksen / JWP / Sanchez / King
    Kane / Jesus / Anichebe

    0.0itb 1ft

    Thanks.

    1. FF Dirtbag
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      I'm considering Holgate - >holding

      1. Marquis-Cha-Cha
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Something to consider. Thanks.

    2. Yellin' in my Ear
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Probably nothing without a hit that's worth it

      1. Marquis-Cha-Cha
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        thanks

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

    Who is everybody (c)?
    Thinking Jesus, seems the safe play.

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

      Bellerin

      1. nkhoughton
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        That's a very Ballsy pick but I applaud it could be great

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

        Not sure if serious?

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

          Deadly. He rocks

    2. An Púca
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      I'm going Jesus.
      45 ahea in my ML so I expect my rival to go a bit left field and not C Sanches this time. I expect he'll go Jesus or Hazard.
      And lets face it, Sanchez is not on form

    3. Rum Ham
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Really tempted by Alonso.

      He had plenty of chances on Monday. Pretty much a left winger with two decent fixtures and clean sheet points. 20+ wouldn't be the biggest surprise.

      1. Yellin' in my Ear
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Just worried he may get rested when the title's won

        1. Rum Ham
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          See how rubbish they were without him when they played last month? (forgotten who against).

          Conte might well rest a few but he won't want to lose games; I'm backing him to start both games.

    4. JÆKS ⭐
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Jesus or Kane, depending on Aguero news

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

      I think it's a bit risky personally, not sure why it doesn't sit tight with me.

    6. Individual
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Sanchez I think mate. We could end the season with our usual flourish.Signs were better in the second half of things coming together a bit.

  14. An Púca
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    My 1st tonne of the season, just about.
    And set up lovely for a bench boost this week.

    Only question is whether I bring in KDB or was last week more down to a terrible Crystal Palace team.

    1. HVT
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Well played, 4 shirt here but still happy.

    2. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      playing kelly and pva at ch was big sam at his worst. no way leics or wba give that sort of space and marking

      1. An Púca
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Aye, never thought a big Sam team would be turned over so easy. They were brutal

    3. FP El Wonky
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Similar score here but I BB'd this week. Somehow had lost faith in Alexis.
      I have TC to play in 37.
      Although now I think I may of played the chips wrong by wanting to be different.
      I set up my team to BB 13dgw players in 37
      Ahhh we'll see. My chaser TC'd sanchez and we both got 101 points.

  15. Rum Ham
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Best DGW defender for 5.4 or less?

    (can't be a City player)

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

      Southampton pair

      1. Rum Ham
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Got both. Gibbs worth a crack?

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

      Huth?

      1. Rum Ham
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Might be worth a shot.

  16. faver
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Would you keep Spurs triple for upcoming games?

    1. An Púca
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      I'm looking at the way they collapsed last season at the end. And now they've nothing left to play for with only 1 game at home, against Utd.
      I think 3 is too many

    2. Individual
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Getting Sane for Alli here. Keeping Eriksen and Kane. Will finance a Chelsea def in for Bailly 🙂

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

        he's done for the rest of the season??

        1. Individual
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Yeah I'm removing Bailly for a Chelsea def, think he won't play again and be spared for the UEL.

  17. JÆKS ⭐
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    What time will OR be updated? Would like to see my rank before going to bed!

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

      23.34 and 12 seconds

      1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
        • 10 Years

        Thanks

      2. JÆKS ⭐
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Have you ever answered a question with a serious response on here? 😀

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

          I've heard Rhinos are just along from trolls on the evolutionary chain 🙂

  18. Ëð
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Pickford, Jaku
    Luiz, Yoshida, Stephens, Clichy, Holgate
    Sanchez, Hazard, Eriksen, Alli, King
    Jesus, Kane, Gabbi

    £0.4m ITB 1FT.

    Any suggestions? Currently considering Haz to KDB.

    1. Rum Ham
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Just thinking Spurs could go flat if Chelsea win the title on Friday night and I'd be a tad worried with three Spurs attackers.

      Change one for KdB and change Gabbi for Anichebe? Even with a hit I would fancy that duo to outscore your current one.

      1. Ëð
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        I've had a play around. How about Clichy to holding and then Alli to KDB?

  19. jimmy.floyd
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Monreal and Caballero
    Kompany and Cech

    1. Man Chest Hair United
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Komoany cech

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

      B

  20. Man Chest Hair United
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Coutinho and Gabbi to

    KDB Anichebe worth -4

    1. nkhoughton
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Maybe not Anichebe isn't worth a - 4 or - 2 if you at it that way

      1. FPLtfs
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        it's still a -4 if you swap a dgw'er with another.

  21. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Really fancying punting on Silva over KDB, not just for value but also as a differential.
    What do peeps think?

    1. Jamin
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Depends on Aguero. I fear dave misses a game if he's back

      1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        True, I didn't consider that, is that why Silva missed the games against Middlesbrough and United to accommodate Aguero and Jesus?

        1. Jamin
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          When pep plays Jesus & Sergio, Sergio seems to be dropping into the no10. Bit of a luxury to have dave too.
          Having said that, second guessing pep is a mug's game!

          1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 2 months ago

            Went for Sane! Will probably regret it, it allowed me to also bring in Cech, Caballero and Fuchs in too.

    2. Man Chest Hair United
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      KDB the better option

    3. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Perhaps Sane instead then?

  22. WE GO FOR IT
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    I had
    Hazard(TC) (9) + Lukaku (2) + Zaha (2) + Sane (3) = 16

    I got
    Sanchez(TC) (42) + Jesus (5) + King (5) + Hazard (3) for -8 = 47

    31 points benefit. Only the 2nd time in my FPL career had I taken an 8 point hit. Safe to say, it worked extremely well!

    1. Jamin
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Nice! You should do it more often

      1. WE GO FOR IT
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        I am currently on taking an 8 point hit this week. I'm stuck, actually. Whether to get KdB and chase Top 1k or get Sane and block my lead in my ML(who has TC&BB left)

        1. WE GO FOR IT
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Thanks, btw! 🙂

  23. OneDennisBergkamp
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    is Benalouane nailed?

    is Holding nailed?

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

      holding has the bast chance of sticking imo. But its still 4 games in 2 weeks,

    2. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Don't think either is nailed, Ben is covering while Morgan is out (who is 50% for upcoming GW).
      I've gone for Holding, but because I've also gone for Fuchs.

      For a premier league neutral it does suck

      Pulis won't want a bunch of Londoners winning the league on his patch. I predict a draw in this one
