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

    2. Vinyl78LP
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Ouch, though my main ML rival had Triple Arsenal defence so there's always someone worse off.

  7. We Will Klopp you
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Is it worth doing Jesus or Kane out for Moiseur Donkey for gw38?

  8. Fuchs Mane Kante
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Should of went le Donkey over Jesus.

  9. For Fuchs Sake
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    1. drughi
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      2 days to recover so no

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

      He's Sanchez, so yes.

    3. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      of course.

  10. The Overthinker
    • 9 Years

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

    So BBoosters are on an average 70pts and non BB 60pts... Hmm BB fail

    1. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      BB surely aren't an average of 10 ahead, i'm on 2 with Bailly to come.

    2. Chris_H
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      compared to using it when exactly? Magically when your bench scores 30?

  13. JustPark
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Need captain Jesus to step up his game later.

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      already played

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

        The next game. Albion.

        +And Sanchez not to play Sunderland.

  14. b✪mber
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Total number of players in the top 1K or 10K - whatever works?

    1. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      1000 players in the 1K

      10,000 players in the 10K

      1. fedolefan
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Haha. Honestly, this is really the only way to answer the question.

      2. b✪mber
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        ...

  15. Sweetboi
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    BB has been absolute kak. Sanchez saving me somewhat.

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

    Strange thing about the Sanchez injury was he got it being nutted in the back of the head, he went down trying to hold his head and thigh at the same time…

    …then lasted another ten minutes before he wanted to come off

    Reckon just a thigh bruise

    1. 32chickens
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Cue Instagram...

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

    Would u take 12 points from your TC?

    1. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      No

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

      Alexis playing again

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

      Do you have a choice? 🙄

    4. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      would want more than the 14 Sanchez scored last GW x3

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

      Before the TC part, sure

  18. diesel001
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    FPL - game of fine margins.

    Double Arsenal defence and non-Sanchez owner. Crouch scores with a handball goal and Sanchez signals to come off, but then scores a goal. In another universe that Crouch goal would have been disallowed and Sanchez would have come off before scoring.

    1. Cok3y5murf
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Lol. I feel you

      1. diesel001
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Just the way it goes. Next season things will turn and it will go my way.

    2. fedolefan
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah man, take it on the chin. Have had a tough last 4 weeks myself. Already looking forward to next season.

    3. Debauchy
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Yep , cruel game at times

  19. how now brown cow
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    I got lolled at all over the place when I suggested arsenal got top 4 a few weeks ago.

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

      3-4-3 is a piece of a cake.

  20. THFC4LIFE

    64 points 16 players left overall rank 120k red or green?
    Hazard captain killed me

    1. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Chin up, Thats a green

    2. The Tinkerman
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Definite green. Same score as me and I was about 40k behind you before today.

    3. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Big Green, Fix are predicting 90k from 126k for me after 61 points.

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

    Sanchez --> Siggy(c) is looking like a no brainer

    1. Shifty
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Might do this as well. Or Coutinho(c) just for lols.

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

      Joking? Sanchez thigh will be fine and will need a result home to Everton. Swansea may not even need a result if Hull lose to CP.

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

      Exactly

      Oh…you mean "no brainer" in a good way

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

    67 points with Vert, Alli, Kane to play tomorrow.

    1. The Tinkerman
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      66(-4) with Kane, Eriksen and Vert. Very similar my

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

        Alexis(c) saves the day. He will play against Sunderland, right?

    2. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      65 with 17 to play here 🙂

    3. bitm2007

      61 with 17 (captained Jesus)

  27. Annie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    1. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      Very good.

  28. drughi
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    21 goals and 11 assists, player of the year no doubt and still arsenal might not make top 4. He needs to go

  29. Lord Flashheart

    Is gabby injured? King waits on my bench...

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

      Rested, will play second match along w/ Tadic and Cedric.

  30. rnrd
    • 11 Years

    Alexis injured ?!
    Did it look bad?!

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      He'll be fine

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

      No - muscular strain and he will recover IMO. Moved extremely well to score his goal after the "injury."

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

        You can't recover from muscular strain in 2 days..Sorry(sanchez C owner)
