Saturday’s action concludes at the bet365 Stadium now as Stoke go head-to-head with Arsenal in the evening kick-off.

With four of the top five captains for Double Gameweek (Diego Costa, Romelu Lukaku, Sergio Aguero and Eden Hazard) failing to find the net already, Alexis Sanchez’ 10.6% armband backers will be hoping he can build on his midweek strike at Southampton.

Indeed, with a home encounter against Sunderland also to follow in midweek, the Chilean has been triple-captained by 70,403 in the penultimate round of fixtures.

Handed a third straight league start, the Gunners’ Rob Holding was the fourth top transfer target for Double Gameweek 37 – over 100,000 FPL managers drafted in the summer signing from Bolton as a budget-friendly route into a rearguard that’s delivered three clean sheets in their previous four.

Marko Arnautovic looks the man most likely to breach the Arsenal defence. The Potters’ wide man has played a part in four of his side’s last five strikes, serving up a goal and three assists over the last four Gameweeks.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    Any word on whether Sanchez will be healthy for Sunderland? 🙂

    1. Yank Revolution
      • 14 Years

      Too soon to tell...

    2. CloudSky

      Yeah, he just texted me. No go.

  6. Jafooli

    Give Giroud a RC....

  7. StalkingDwarf

    If Grioud could give the defence their clean sheet back, that'd be great.

    Pretty incredible 15 minutes

  9. The Bandit

    Anyone know if Gru steals the baps? 😀

    How does Giroud usually do in GW38?.....

    What an absolute joke this GW is.

    Huth, Tadic, Stephens inexplicably doesn't play. Kosc then plays despite being all but ruled out. My other transfer out, Albrighton, gets an assist.

    Also captained Jesus. Who was the right choice, today, but for luck.

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

      Why transfer Albrighton out?

      I got him in for a hit

      1. A Betting Man
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Did Kosc & Albrighton to Holding & Fabregas. It made sense, in theory 🙁

        1. A Betting Man
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Could literally have done zero transfers.

  12. Dreams

    This is madness.

    How bad is the Sanchez injury?

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

      Well he scored when carrying it so ...

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

      Thigh -- looks like a knock or dead leg rather than strain or pull

    3. BrutalLogiC
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      come on Holding.. grap a goal, too much to ask?

    4. Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Something related to Hamstring...not that bad..but with the FA Cup Final next week, not sure he will start mid-week

    Alexis didn't look good. Unusual for Wenger to withdraw so early - must be a concern.

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

      Sanchez himself asked to be subbed off. Long before he actually scored actually. Wenger seemed to be ignoring his request till the goal.

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

    Giroud well clear on 3. Sanchez 2.

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

    Did Sanchez go off?

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

      he did

      1. Lawrø
        • 14 Years

        Cheers

    2. Sp0rting

  21. Yank Revolution

    We should have our Ars CS back dammit, Crouchie scored with his robot hand.

  22. Jazz!

    Alexis truly is a machine.

    1. Sp0rting
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Broken down?

  23. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Not watching. Did Alexis pick up an injury?

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

      Took a knock, signal to bench to come off and then scored

    2. walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Yes, yet he played on and scored. He then came off, not limping, but holding his thigh. Seems like a slight thigh strain. Hopefully, Wenger discusses afterwards.

    3. Royal5
