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.

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

    1FT £0.4m ITB.

    Clichy + Alli -> Holding + KDB for a hit?

    Sterling vs Sane stats please? Is Sane the much better option? Can only afford Sterling.

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

      no, actually Sterling is the better option I think...

    2. AYEW KI-EDEN MEE
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Sterling's home form's better than Sane. Simple as that.

    Tempted to keep the armband on Sanchez now.

    Stoke and Sunderland are rubbish.

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

      He's a decent enough option but I just think Man City are likely to score more goals than Arsenal, maybe a good few more.

    Why did KdB emerge as an option? Hoping WBA hold off Chelsea

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

      does well with Kun out... City in great form, only top3 to play for

  11. seanmcging
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    What to do with Gabriel & Holebas?

    Is it worth -8 to go with Gibbs & Yoshida (0 ITB)? I already have Stephens!!

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

      holebas is likely to be fit imo

      1. seanmcging
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        That would be great, then just dump Gabriel, knowing my luck he'll play both games after I get rid

  12. liiusions
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    ML is tied up after that Sanchez haul. May get Brunt in as my Gabriel replacement 😆

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

    De Gea, Cab
    Kompany, Bailly, Gabriel, Huth, Yoshida
    Sanchez, Hazard, King, Eriksen, Albrighton
    Kane, Gabbi, Jesus

    Like many, I've changed my tune after Sanchez's goal. Should I just drop Bailly and Gabriel and get Monreal and Stephens?

    1. v12w12

      Sounds good

  14. Flynny

    Are we expecting Jesus to play both games in gw37 irrespective of kun 's fitness?

    Thanks

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

      I'm expecting that. Don't see why not. He's young and fit and favoured.

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

      Yes, I think he starts both regardless of Kun.

    3. Jamin

      Pep loves him.
      Expecting him to say 'this is my son with whom I'm well pleased' any presser now.

  19. lastmanback
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Need to replace Gabriel for the doubles, who's the best sub 4.9m defender likely to play both games? Gibbs? Simspson?

    Already have 2 x southampton defenders.

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

      I think it's Gibbs. Plays close to the goal and is pretty nailed imo.

    Worried if Jesus is starting both games in GW 37.
    Is he a better choice for captain than Sanchez?

    1. Geezer
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Poll says Jesus

  23. Parm
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Haven't watched Arsenal in this 3-4-3/3-5-2, where does Sánchez play, quite central or still wide left-ish?

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

      not quite central, not quite wide 🙂

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

      Wide but he comes searching for the ball so often ends up central

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

      A bit of both tbh, the wing back (Gibbs) means he can drift in when he wants. For example against United he was deep centrally trying to create.

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

      What's his xG?????!!!!!

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

        😆

    5. Fingerspitzengefühl
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Tbh he seems to play wherever he wants to. Sometimes he wanders back in a CDM role to pick up the ball, other times he goes way wide and sometimes he goes central. Usually he tries to do some pretty impossible passes, but he looks hungry for the goals, would just wish that he was more consistent in staying up front and central

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

      Free role

    7. Parm
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Thanks guys, seems like he has a free role on the inside left and drops deep.

      Ugh, that kind of sucks. Sánchez was so much better earlier in the season when he barely touched the ball and played as the lone forward. I suppose Welbeck's presence doesn't help things but Sánchez should be fed by Xhaka/Ozil and not doing the business himself.

  24. Snoop
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    So I'm thinking of dropping -8 I've got Gabriel, Gibson, and rashford I want to change.. I also have blind.. will he play?

    So I'm thinking Gabriel, Gibson, rashford to Monreal, azpilicueta, Jesus...

    Thoughts please?

    King > Albrighton FT?

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

      Really need to know your full circumstances.

    2. Geezer
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      No

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

      I'm all for Albrighton, but many people chose King over Albrighton on WC, so hard to see the logic. Is it becuause Albrighton scored a goal this week?

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

        2 games and Leicester in decent form...King has a good fixture, not so cut-and-dry imo.

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

          Save the transfer imo. I'm happy with Albrighton, but some of that happiness is due to having already spread the money elsewhere in the team

  27. Peggi
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    I've seen many teams with Albrighton but what are peoples thoughts on Ndidi? cheaper, going by previous games looks more likely to start/play the full 90 and similar attacking returns when taking into account Ndidi came in mid season

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

      I'm a solo backed of Capoue to return to form but of the two options you mentioned it's got to Albrighton for his assist potential

  28. Twisted Saltergater
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years

    What would you do here? Just Brunt to Gibbs, or get in Sanchez?

    DDG - Jaku
    Baines - Alonso - Kompany - Bavies - Brunt
    Hazard - Alli - Eriksen - Ozil - King
    Jesus - Costa - Gabbi

    Thanks

    Mark has 3 SGW players.

    TM has 3 SGW players plus Gabriel.

    How many bench boost DGW players should you have ... 14, 15? What is an acceptable number of hits?

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

      There is no real answer to both...completely circumstantial.

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

        In what way?

        Surely 15 DGW players outscore 12 DGW players + 3 SGW players?

        1. Rhinos
