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

      one minute injured the next scoring haha

    I hate to say it but I can see sanchez helping himself to a few against sunderland in the first 60mins and then resting up for everton

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Yep

  3. Sponge-worthy
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Did Sanchez wanted to be replaced before he scored? What happened?

    1. CloudSky
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Exactly that.

    2. Mini Mane Mo
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Sanchez indicated before he scored that he wanted to be replaced. Probably left thigh injury.

    3. @FPL_liverbird (liverpoolfa…
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      was signing he wanted to come off then got wide open 25 yards out ran into the box and deflected shot off the post bottom corner. walked back after celebrating and went straight off

    4. walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Yes and no. Yes, then he played, hustled, didn't limp, and scored a good goal. He then came off with his shorts rolled up on his leg, yet not limping. I can't be anymore descriptive.

    5. Vinyl78LP
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Pulled up lame, blamed a bad pass on a thigh problem, asked to be subbed, forgot about the injury, played on at 100%, scored a goal, remembered the 'injury', taken off as game won.

    6. Sponge-worthy
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Thanks. Saw the goal but missed the injury. Glad I missed it.

  4. Les Bleus
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    People forgetting that Wenger doesn't make the decision on whether Sanchez plays or not. Sanchez makes that decision.

  5. The Tinkerman
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Was Sanchez actually injured? They didn't mention it at all on the radio, was listening on my way home. Surely can't have been that bad if the commentators didn't even notice it?

    1. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Some sort of muscle injury

    2. CloudSky
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      He asked for the sub himself.

    3. Yank Revolution
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      He was bending over, made the signal to replace him...holding rubbing his left thigh frequently. Then he scored and got subbed.

    4. Viper
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      He asked to be brought whilst holding his thigh so clearly something. Not serious enough to stop him scoring so should be fine

    5. Cocky Spaniel Alves
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      He signalled about 3-4 times to the bench that his thigh is fukced and he wants to be replaced.

    6. Crystal
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Clearly, was holding his thigh for quite a bit

  8. Ravager
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Sanchez alone powered me over 40 points pre-baps. So that's something at least...

    Little things like Holgate-gate and the Soton mess earlier still annoy me though.

      1. how now brown cow
        • 11 Years

      I can't understand where this 17 math comes from honestly. How many times do you count the captain?

      1. Pocky
        • 16 Years

        bench boost + players still with 2 games to play.

    Sanchez injury look serious?

    1. Viper
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Not serious enough to stop him scoring

    2. Smoking Barrel
      • 10 Years

      Looks fantastic!

  19. Viper
    • 16 Years

    Sanchez normally drops quite a few bps after readjustments yeah?

    1. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years

      Winning goal assist to be added.

      1. Viper

        That's a thing?

        Didn't know that....

    Quite a Limp Sanchez is sporting there..

    1. Salah’s Sonnet

      nah, he's fine

  22. tm245

    Great win.

  23. walkman666
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    They'll have Wenger in an interview soon. Hopefully, he is asked about Sanchez.

    1. Crystal
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      No need to ask he's clearly injured if you saw him walking off just then

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        only a knock, anyone would limp after a knock

  24. Ravager
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Major hindsight moment:

    My team funds was essentially set up to get in either Hazard or Sane in for Zaha before GW 36. Obviously went with Eden. Expected more from him with the run-in

    1. Lav
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Did you take a -8 this week?

      I am on 57 pre bps on -8

      1. Ravager
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        I'm on 45 pre-bps. Major difference is no Chelsea defence for me but that's another story.

    2. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      If you got Sanchez it is not a problem. Feel sorry for us non-Sanchez owners.

      1. Ravager
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        True! But when I was getting in Eden, I was so excited to finally get a haul lol. Was my first time owning him this season. Underwhelming.

  25. Sebbo29

          Ok

  26. walkman666
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Sanchez not limping as he walked off. No ice pack on leg.

    1. Crystal
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      I think we're watching different coverage

  27. gonzalocampos
    • 10 Years

    77 with Kane, Alli, Jaku, Ward and Zaha to play.

  28. Sims
