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.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

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

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

      No

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

      Yes

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

      Probably. Definitely if for only a -4

    4. asquishypotato
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Not terrible.

      Yes

      Do i keep Mustafi now? BB next week.

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

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

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

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

          1. L S P
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 9 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

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

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

      3. Jay_
          8 years, 9 months ago

          Thanks all 🙂

      4. Oh Mane Mane

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

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

          this is a terrible question

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

          Mark Hughes

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

          Ayew...Barnes..Anichebe
          0.1 off vokes

      5. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Probably crazy but have exact money for

        Gabriel+King+Gabbi to

        Yoshi+KDB+Anichebe

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

          Just Gabriel > Yoshida/Holding

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

          Looks good but agree Gabriel to Yoshi good

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

        Which one?

        1) Sané

        2) KDB

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

          Kdb

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

          Probably the sensible thing to do

      8. BellyKlopp

        8 years, 9 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
          8 years, 9 months ago

          no -100+ means he's falling

        2. I Member
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          No. -100 would indicate a possible drop.

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

            thanks

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

              oh sure thank Bane!

              I'm scary too! 😉

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

          Means no chance. Changes at around +/- 100

      9. mitro

        TC Sanchez came through today

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

          Sweet, happy captainer

        2. FPL Maldini
          • 11 Years

          Sweeeet

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

            So what? Next week is BB week

            1. bitm2007
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 11 Years
              8 years, 9 months ago

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

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

                Irrelevant.

                1. bitm2007
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 11 Years
                  8 years, 9 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
            8 years, 9 months ago

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

          3. Kiwivillan
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 9 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
              • 11 Years
              8 years, 9 months ago

              hope so.

          Bet you were worried

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

        Which one will score more, A or B ?

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

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

          A

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

          B.

      11. asquishypotato
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 9 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

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

          C. Sane / Kompany

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

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

      13. Marquis-Cha-Cha
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 9 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

        Thanks.

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

          I'm considering Holgate - >holding

          1. Marquis-Cha-Cha
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 9 months ago

            Something to consider. Thanks.

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

          Probably nothing without a hit that's worth it

          1. Marquis-Cha-Cha
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 9 months ago

            thanks

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

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

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

          Bellerin

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

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

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

            Not sure if serious?

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

              Deadly. He rocks

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

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

            1. Rum Ham
              • 11 Years
              8 years, 9 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
          8 years, 9 months ago

          Jesus or Kane, depending on Aguero news

        5. Hibbo
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 9 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
          8 years, 9 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.

      15. An Púca
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 9 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
          8 years, 9 months ago

          Well played, 4 shirt here but still happy.

        2. GENERATION X
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 9 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
            8 years, 9 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
          8 years, 9 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.

      16. Rum Ham
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Best DGW defender for 5.4 or less?

        (can't be a City player)

        1. asquishypotato
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          Southampton pair

          1. Rum Ham
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 9 months ago

            Got both. Gibbs worth a crack?

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

          Huth?

          1. Rum Ham
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 9 months ago

            Might be worth a shot.

      17. faver
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Would you keep Spurs triple for upcoming games?

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

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

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

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

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

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

      19. Ëð
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 9 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
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 9 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
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 9 months ago

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

        Coutinho and Gabbi to

        KDB Anichebe worth -4

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

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

            8 years, 9 months ago

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

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

        1. Jamin
          • 15 Years

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

          1. Scapegoat Salah
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 9 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
              8 years, 9 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!

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

          KDB the better option

        3. Scapegoat Salah
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          Perhaps Sane instead then?

      23. WE GO FOR IT
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 9 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
          8 years, 9 months ago

          Nice! You should do it more often

          1. WE GO FOR IT
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 9 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)

        is Benalouane nailed?

        is Holding nailed?

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

        2. Scapegoat Salah
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 9 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.

        Just realised the league could be over friday night.

          For a premier league neutral it does suck

          I only care about the Prem because of fpl no other reason tbh

          • 14 Years

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