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

    Can't believe I triple captained Sanchez and bought Ozil

    I should know better than to buy tosh players just because they have a DGW.

    Cech had been so poor since start of 2017 but has played much better these last 2 games

    1. Puncheon Guly
      • 14 Years

      DGW effect

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

      A GK always looks crap if the defence in front of them is crap. Pickford might make a lot of saves, but he lets in a lot of crap goals IMO.

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

    Last minute change. Ndidi and Monreal to T.Carroll and Koscielney, bleurgh.

    Not enjoying Yoshida on my bench.

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

      Who did you start ahead of him?

      1. Smurf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Cech
        Alonso / Monreal / Cedric
        Sanchez / Hazard / Alli / Eriksen / Sane
        Kane / Gabbiadini

        Pickford / Yoshida / Valencia / Anichebe

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

          I mean you can't really knock the team selection there. Don't tell me people were thinking double Saints clean sheet

          1. Smurf
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years
            8 years, 7 months ago

            Yeah exactly. And I wasn't thinking West Ham would keep Spurs out either.

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

          Fair. That's a solid team, I'd have probably done the same

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

          Yeah I don't blame ya with that selection

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

      You left Yoshida on the bench on a DGW???

      1. Smurf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Who would you have benched. Above?

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

    4. Springbank
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      1. Smurf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Wow even worse. I at least managed to play Cedric.

        Who did you bench over those?

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

          I played
          Cech
          Alonso Montreal Vertonghen
          Eriksen Hazard Sanchez King Pedro
          Jesus Kane
          Bench: Pickford Yoshi Stephens Anichebe

    5. Teddy Brewski
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Stephens on my bench. Huth, Alonso & Monreal instead

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

    Sanchez probably about to be put in but cynical JWP.

  19. BigBrickDigger
    • 9 Years

  20. Crow
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

  21. Differentiator
    • 10 Years

  22. Magic Bean

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

      Blank nothing to report. Nothing I tell you.

  25. HD7
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    De Gea was the best C for DGW 34 now it seems it is Cech... 37 Cech C ? 😀

  26. Albrightondknight
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    How do 3 defenders let Benzama past them on the by line. Seriously.

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

    Thoughts on this (-12)?

    Sanchez + Zaha + Gibson + De Roon
    ------>
    KDB + Fabregas + Stephens + Albrighton

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

      Looks good, I'm looking at a -12 myself

  28. ViperStripes
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    0-0 with Gabriel on the bench would be good. Stephens coming off my bench for him.

  29. Godot - Fashanu Zealand
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    It really is time to get rid of Sanchez now, he's simply not worth the money. It's just such a shame that he is owned by so many.

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

    Please Gabriel, play even just one minute to keep all those points on the bench for everybody.

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