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

    Ox out, Bellerin in

    Wooo. As a defender myself, that tackle by Stephens just made my pants a little tighter.

  3. DR0GBA

    Anyone else thinking about captaining Alonso?

    1. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Doubt any of the Chelsea team guaranteed to play twice do

      1. DR0GBA
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Yeah it's a risk, but one that could very well pay off

    2. Jimmy6446
      • 11 Years

      I've already pre-set him as captain 😉

    Please tell me if this is wise or stupid:

    Hennessey, Blind, Alli, Walcott

    >

    Caballero, Vertonghen, Albrighton, De Bruyne

    (-12)!!

    Thanks....

    1. Fat Frank
      • 8 Years

      Would usually no to something involving that hit, but those moves look devastatingly good!
      I think Fuchs could be a differential for next week if you might consider a different Foxes player to Albrighton

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Thanks ever so much for your reply 🙂

        1. Fat Frank
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          No worries, be careful about ridding Alli though, see if you can sacrifice someone else for KDB

  5. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years

    Ox sacrificed

    1. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Was thinking Sanchez to Ox if Sanchez blanks...scuttled plan

  6. Fred54
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Had no idea this was a Bananarama song...

    1. Fred54
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Erm go....Tadic (??).

  7. Boomerang V
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    can't believe my rival has Bellerin and I was lauthing about that 🙁 making fun of him...

    1. Sponge-worthy
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      No cs for bellerin.

      1. nkhoughton
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        He only needs to play 60 mins for it

        1. Sponge-worthy
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Which he won't get. Came in what, 35 mins.

        2. Toothless
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          60 mins of 90, don't think injury time counts. He came on with around 57 mins left?

  8. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years

    Bellerin as wing back could be great..might be my gabriel replacement if ox is out for the season

  9. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    As a Sanchez(C) and triple SOT defence, I won't mind a 0-0 score

    1. Zlatans little helper
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      That's maverick. Enjoy your green arrows.

    2. Tansey
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      I shouldn't have been, but I was oddly satisfied with the 9 points he got me last game

  10. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Gabriel owners BOOM'ing

  11. fijuhmon
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    I need Gabriel to make a cameo. Otherwise my ML rival will get Fabregas out from the bench.

    In other news, Sanchez -> KDB on the cards. Thoughts?

    1. moment
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Doing it at 90 minutes if he doesn't do something

    2. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      I hope he comes on, he deserves it for benching Fabs

  12. Ógie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Ox 15k new owners wont be happy

    1. The Big Fella
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      This is why we should wait!

    2. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      I bought him in for GW36. Not happy he is injured, but happy with the 11pts he has got this GW.

  13. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    The ref has lost the plot. Cards flying in everywhere

    1. makaveli123
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Cüneyt Çakır. What a terrible ref. Remember him sending off Nani when they played Real at OT.

      1. Camp No No
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Which was a completely correct decision.

      2. Camp No No
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        He failed to send Rafael off though.

      3. makaveli123
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Rafael should've been sent off. The number of mistakes he made in the last 15 minutes can't be forgiven

  14. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Gabbiadini pass back to Cech!

  15. Lizard Lips
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    If Kos was playing would be buzzing about this 0-0

    1. XabiAlonso
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      SAMe here. Come on gabbi

  16. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Best GW to have next week alongside Pickford for bench boost? Cech or Cabellero?

    1. Boris Bodega
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      safer bet would be caballero, doubts over Arsenal defence imo

    2. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Much of a muchness

  17. Old Wulfrunian
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Anichebe->Mousset?

    1. Camp No No
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Why not, if you have nothing better to do with your transfers than getting a personalised bench.

      1. Old Wulfrunian
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        thanks.I used my wildcard on gw36 so i am trying to find out if there is someone better than Anichebe.

        1. Camp No No
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          But why? Why not to save the transfer instead? Mousset is not even nailed on.

  18. Camp No No
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Ox out for injury, tactical or being carp?

    1. Fred54
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Sounds fishy to me.

      1. Camp No No
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Thanks!

  19. Zlatans little helper

    That tackle was clean as a whistle.

    Bad ref in this Madrid game

    Same guy that sent off Nani in a CL semi final i believe

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Round of 16*

  24. The Big Fella
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    At least Bellerin won't get a CS bonus most likely unless there is a LOT of extra time

    1. MTPockets
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Don't think extra time counts.

        1. The Big Fella
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Unfair if not as extra time counts for losing any clean sheet bonuses so it should count towards their accumulation too

    2. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Keeping Sanchez?

      1. Fred54
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Hell no.

      2. Davido989
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Tempted to ditch for KDB if he blanks today.

      3. Zlatans little helper
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Yup.

      4. Lizard Lips
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        fear the only reason to keep him, may even be rested with one eye on the fa cup.

    3. Boomerang V
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Bellerin came in in minute 36 so that means that he won't get CS points?

      1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Correct

    4. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Gabbiadini watching too much of Alonso 😆

    5. Camp No No
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Come on, Gab, score me some goals!
