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

    1. Peggi
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Sanchez is a must, do you have any other way to get him ithout taking a -8 hit?

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

        It doesn't look like it, well without losing Hazard, but I'll have a play around.

  4. Firminooooo
    • 10 Years

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Yes, especially if United go through.

      1. Paganoi
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

  8. Legomane
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    1pt ahead of last year's (which was my first year to FPL) total with 2GW to play 🙂

  9. Bring the Cavalry
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Up to 60k in my first season, hopefully end in the top 50k

    1. Lawrø
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Top 50k would be pretty good going for a first season 🙂

      1. Bring the Cavalry
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks lawro!

    2. true_Jerry

    102 points and a GW ranking of 7928 has taken me to an OR of 9628, the first time I've ever been in the top 10k 🙂

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

      Well done! Some consideration for the less fortunate please 😀

    3. Viper
      • 16 Years

    5. Lawrø

      Nice one 😀

    6. Rhinos
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      It'll sink in soon just how meaningless it all is and you'll be chasing a higher rank like the next level of candy crush

      1. Lawrø
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        So true, we're always chasing what we don't have... I struggle to just enjoy the dance 🙂

    7. BERGKOP
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Nice work

  11. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    We thinking City can get 3+ vs Leicester & WBA?

    Hazard -> KDB or Eriksen -> Sane will be very tempting on Friday if Kun is ruled out.

  12. Deulofail
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Up 850k in 4 GWs. Finally a contender in my ML. The ball is rolling!

  13. ezaku
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Last 5 weeks: 14.5k > 3.4k
    Top 2k would be fantastic...

    1. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Nice! Last 4 weeks: 1.2M > 400k. You have more to boast about though haha

  14. Viper
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    The highest scorer this week actually knows what he's doing 😯

    1. ezaku
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      All these Norwegian superstars...

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Don't think so, he owns Gabbiadini 😆

  15. batmaniac

    Need someone to swing an opinion for me.
    Is jaku - willy worth a -4?
    Or is walker - monreal / vertongen better?

    1. Rhinos
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Never swing your willy in public

  16. Zebras
    • 10 Years

  17. Sterling is £11Mill..…

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      hundreds

      1. Sterling is £11Mill..…
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        300?

        1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          i'd settle for that

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

      More than you

    3. FPL Pillars
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

    4. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Got 97 from 4 doublers so hoping for 150+ with 14!

    5. Firminooooo
      • 10 Years

      150

  18. FPL Pillars

  20. djapebronx
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Bottomed, any help guys?

    Cabalero Cech
    Alonso Monreal Verthongen Yoshida Stephens
    Sanchez Alli Eriksen King Pedro
    Costa Jesus Anichebe

    BB this week. Anything important to change?? And how to get KDB in??

    Mini league rival has Eriksen, so if I'm upgrading Spurs, would be him out. but would have to downgrade def somewhere, cause Can't see who would Costa be out for

  21. Colonel Shoe 肝池
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    urghh captain next week has the smell of feast or famine 🙁

    1. Pinky Blinders
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Yes, my ML is so tight right now, it will probably make the difference.

  22. Viper
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Just inside the top 2k at 1,898. How I'd love a 3 digit finish but more importantly to catch my main rival who is 873.

    A 75 gap has become 26 🙂

    1. Lizard Lips
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Good luck VIPER, hope you do it 🙂

      1. Viper
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers Lizard, here to two top 1k finishes 🙂

  23. Lizard Lips
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    2 points off the top 1k, had I not last minute switched Monreal Ndidi to T.Carroll and Kos I'd been 5 points inside! Facing an unreal climax to the end of the season, could be euphoria or disaster!

  24. Snoop
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Will blind play?

    1. Pep says
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Unlikely, unless Mourinho sends him out against Spurs just because he knows he's gonna get beat

  25. Pep says
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Best way to free up a million folks

    a) PVA -->> Ake
    b) Daniels -->> Holgate
    c) King -->> Albrighton
    d) Kane -->> Kaku/Costa
    e) Tekkers -->> Llorente

    Leaning towards b, thoughts?

    1. OptimusBlack
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Aké Gonna play ?

      1. Pep says
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Dont have a clue. Just need to free up 1m

    2. liiusions
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      B, PVA->Ake might not be a bad shout but obviously a risk

  26. OptimusBlack
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Blind Minutes For GW 37 ?

    A- 90
    B- More Than 90
    C- Zero
    Really don't know keep or sell

    1. Pep says
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Sell him

      1. OptimusBlack
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Thx

  27. AYLD28
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

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

    0 itb season high of 90k

    Which is better:

    1. Haz + Hen > Ozil + Cech
    2. Eriksen + Hen > Ramsey + Cech

    Thinking I need some Arsenal cover or would you hold with what I have? Need to move tonight if I'm going to bring Cech in

  28. FPL Virgin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    OR 10,448.

    Not too shabby for a virgin 😆

  29. the snazzy viking
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    I need 131 points in the last 2 weeks to reach my season target.

    Can it be done?

    Have BB and a snazzy team

    1. Pep says
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      131 points? Is this accounting for the points everyone else is going to get over the next 2 weeks?

      1. the snazzy viking
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        No, just to reach my goal I set at the beginning of the season.

        1. Jamin
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          I'll bite: what was your target?

  30. Forza Papac
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Up to 40th in Scotland 🙂

    1. Rhinos

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

      Can Scots count that high?
