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.

    Kane Costa Gabbi

    2 FT & 0 ITB

    1. Currently, OR 42K. Any chance to make Top 10K?

    2. Leading ML by 31 points, should I take -8 to bring KdB and Jesus(c) in? Or just play it safe?

        Sane Costa Gabbi --> KdB Jesus Anichebe for -4?

    2. Lav

      At least get Kelly out first then see what you can do.

      1. Moose™
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Kelly to Stephens? Kone worth a shout?

    My back line on BB is:

    Cech - Willy
    Alonso - Monreal - Bavies - Yoshida - Stephens

    A dream 14/14 clean sheets is definitely possible 😛

    1. Lav
      • 9 Years

      Very nice

    2. @FPL_liverbird (liverpoolfa…

      true

    3. BRFC1883
      • 10 Years

      Will Bavies play both? I have him and hoping he does.

    4. Pep says
      • 10 Years

      Unlikely that Leicester won't score in GW37 given their recent form!

      similar and it helped me so much this gw!

    What do I do here? 0 FT 1.6 ITB

    Willy (Pick)
    Alonso Monreal Bailly (Yoshi Holgate)
    Hazard Alli Eriksen King (Zaha)
    Kane Jesus Gabbi

    Want to play BB. Currently thinking a -8 at the minimum.

    1. Ibracadabra
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      if ManU win get rid of Bailly.

    2. semiconductor
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Baily for a sure starter in my opinion

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

        Bailly and Alli/Eriksen out wnd get Sanchez? Or go without Sanchez again and take Zaha out?

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

          I would get sanchez if I were u

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

            Even for a -12? Or only do it on -8?

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

              My max is -8. Never did a -12

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

      Bailly got to go, Zaha too for me. I'd sell Gabbi but it depends on how you work it out...

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

        Surely bigger problems than Gabbi so I am fine with keeping him. Sanchez a bigger priority?

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

          Fair on Gabbi. As you say above I'd maybe do Bailly, Zaha, Alli/Eriksen out. Sanchez in and then see what else you can thinker with.

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

            Thats a -12 though. Still woth it since I am getting DGWers? Do or die at this point.

    4. The Big Fella
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Bailey out for Arsenal defender (Stoke and Sunderland and Arsenal still have something to play for)

    5. @FPL_liverbird (liverpoolfa…
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      A) Bailly goes for clichy/holding/bavies.
      &
      B) upgrade haha to fabregas/son/sane/sterling
      OR
      C) maybe get rid of alli or eriksen to free cash for zaha upgrade.

      other than that you're good! oh choose the right captain 😉

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

        If C thats a -12 but I get Sanchez. Worth it?

  5. Schwarzer
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Bottomed. For -4 would you stick or twist?

    Zaha (HUL) > Sane (LEI WBA)

    Zaha may do well against a makeshift Hull defence though.

    Cheers

    1. Ibracadabra
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Own both and am considering playing AOA and playing Zaha home to Hull over a DGW defender (either Yoshida or Stephens) so would stick. (Already played BB).

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

      I'd go with it - Zaha's not been getting the points and one game vs two...

    3. Schwarzer
      • 16 Years

      Thanks guys.
      I was out tonight and sneaked a look at just after half time, 0-0 wasn't bad as it meant 100+ points but Sanchez gave me a nice a little earner. 120 points 🙂

    8. RedMarks 赤的

      Congratulations'.
      My gameweek wasn't too bad either.
      But you truly smashed it.
      I have TC to go.
      A hat trick and a couple of assists from my triple captain would be something special.
      Fingers crossed

      1. Gnu
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Good luck, BBing myself this so who knows what can happen.

          Nice! BB or TC? Thought my 97 with Sanchez TC was decent haha

  7. jia you
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Best Gabriel replacement (up to 4.9m)?
    Current: Alonso/Kompany/Mawson/Yoshi/Gabriel
    On a -8, so is it worth the additional hit to take him out for BB. Do you think Gabriel plays one of the games?
    Cheers

    1. jia you
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Thinking a differential punt like Danny Simpson or Chris Brunt?

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

      Depends on Koscielnys fitness. If fit, cant see Gabriel getting a game. As for replacements, all depends on the pressers. Stephens, Holding, Davies could be monitored.

      1. jia you
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks mate, yes Davies is one I'm looking at. I don't want a SOU double up and have Cech so will leave ARS defensive cover at that I think. I'll prob go Davies, even if Rose returns he'll play one of the games anyway.

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

          Thats true. Good luck with your choice.

          1. jia you
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Cheers and the best of luck to you too!

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

          Agreed, go with Davies.

          1. jia you
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Thanks Boglander, will do!

      B

  9. CloudSky

    Playing BB as said. 1FT, 0itb. Early thoughts?

    Currently debating between:
    A: save
    B: Eriksen -> Sane
    C: Haz -> KDB
    D: something else (any idea?)

    Thanks for the help!

    1. Schwarzer

      B

        C

  10. semiconductor
    • 11 Years

    Definitely getting rid of gabriel and blind. I'm thinking holding and benaloane to enable WP to pedro/Fabregas.

    What do u think?

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

      Or holding and alonso and downgrade WP to carroll

  11. ★Kuntheman★
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Went Gibbs over Holding, hoping I don't regret that...

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

      Why not wait for update on Kosc?

      1. ★Kuntheman★
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        He looks likely to return, no? 75% chance?

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

          Been training yesterday yet he still missed today. Could also easily see a backline of Holding/Mustafi/Kosc with Bell and Nacho on the wings.

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

            Reckon holding is a likely starter for last 3?

  12. Azerbaijan Shopping Centre
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Alli and Kane

    out for

    KDB & Jesus .

    Yes or no

    1. Arctic monkeys
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      That's some mindfu**ing transfers. No idea tbh could go eather way.

      1. Azerbaijan Shopping Centre
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        tell me about it .... I dont really trust KDB

    2. semiconductor
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I would try to get them but without taking out those 2

      1. Azerbaijan Shopping Centre
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Ok ... willl then its Hazard or Sanchez...

        I'd sooner lose spurs 2

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

    Pedro or fabregas for the doubles ?

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

      Cesc! Could get all 3 if Conte wants Matic & Kante fully fit for the FAC.

    2. semiconductor
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I'm waiting for the replies on ur post myself

  14. The Big Fella
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    I am 85 points behind 100k - is it possible to make that up with BB and 14/15 DGW players this week?

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

      Probably not.

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

      No! Not without at least 5 or 6 big differentials that pay off

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

        See above, 'GNU' had a GW rank of 178. Moved up 70k odd places. Much harder to move up in the top 100k. If you have a gw rank in the top 10 maybe. So again, very unlikely

    3. Gnu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Just about, yes.

  15. Stupendous
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    How's my 15 DGW BB team looking?

    Willy

        Happy to have Haz for a single gameweek if he ends up resting after WBA

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

          The only way Id get him out is for a City mid but youre well covered there already.

    Would you ditch Bailly (tot sot) for-4?

    I assume he's likely to be rested for a match?

    1. CloudSky

    C: Cech + Capoue - 8 pts

    1. davies

      B

  20. joersherman

    A) Pickford & Monreal/Mustafi
    B) Cech & 4.7m def

    My back five:
    Monreal - Vertonghen - Blind - Yoshida - Stephens

    A) Blind -> Holding/Gibbs
    or
    B) Vertonghen & Blind -> Alonso & Holding (-4)

  22. @chapellefpl OR 577TH

    Arsenal fans. Holding - is he nailed? Does Kos take his place if fit?

  23. Ghost86

    Which combo gets me more points?

    A) Kane Jesus Son/Fabregas/Pedro
    B) Vardy Jesus Eriksen

    1. upforgrabs

      A with Cesc

  24. semiconductor
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    No one is replying maybe I'm asking it in the wrong way. Let me try in a different way.

    Blind and WP to
    1. Alonso and carroll
    Or
    2. Benaloane (got ars sou eve manc defenders) + pedro/fabregas

    Hennessey + Gabriel + Valencia + Alli to Cech + Kompany + Bavies + Sane. Get away with a -12 here chaps?

    Worth a -12? I think it just might be...

    Blind>Bertrand
    King>Albrighton
    Gabriel>Monreal

      I'd hold onto King personally.

        A far better bet?

        Blind>Stephens
        Gabriel>Monreal

      Or hold King and do Gabriel to Holding?

        Is Holding nailed on? I do like King and he does have a great fixture. Definitely need to replace Blind and Gabriel though.

        Is this far better for -8? I think it is.

        Blind>Stephens
        Gabriel>Monreal
