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

    A Southampton clean sheet v Utd will save so many BBs

      Stephens and Gabb starting would help

        • 9 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Stephens has a decent chance IMO. Not sure what the deal was with Gabb though

    I messed up big time this week, with passing the deadline.

    Anyone has their with their captain playing both matches ?

    1. Ha.
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Overthought that one

      1. The Overthinker
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Ha so funny i forgot to laugh :p
        How is that overthought?

        1. Pep says
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Your over thinking your AOA chip too much!!!

          1. The Overthinker
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 10 months ago

            I kinda agree .
            But also I am so keen to use it . Maybe expecting a lot from the attackers but in reality it would be the defenders who'll be the hero.

            Still a long time before next deadline. Many opinions will change, there will be many new scenerio.

            Let me just sit back and enjoy it

            1. Pep says
              • 10 Years
              8 years, 10 months ago

              I'd advise against using it. Especially when you wanna drop Ozil for a hit and you probably have a clean sheet sitting on the bench

  5. Greenbackbøøg…

    Did Wenger say anything about Alexis after the game?

    2. Lanzini girls just want to …
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      I saw him limping shaking hands and exchanging smiles at the end of the game. I bet he and wenger stay next year and that Sanchez's hamstring is done for

    Anyone got any punts for next week?

    1. nkhoughton

      Depends on Alexis, if he's definitely out he can fund anyone

    4. Pep says
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Jesus to Giroud?

      John Terry?

      Some good midfield options but as I said on the last page, I don't fancy dripping King, Siggy, Alli, Sanchez or Sané

      1. Junior ⚽
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Snap. I have AOA but it's useless unless I want Barnes as a FT..

        1. Pep says
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Don't bother. I have Kompany, Monreal and Alonso for next week.

          My ft will either be Jesus to Giroud or DeGea to Lloris

      Israel, Australia in Eurovision today, tomorrow Zimbabwe,North Korea

      1. Forza Papac
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        I'm certain the North Korean government would just tell the people Kim Jong Un won instead of genuinely competing

    • HamezMace
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Any chance Hazard is rested GW38 with the cup final in mind?

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

        Certainly a chance.

      2. Pep says
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        More chance he's rested against Watford

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

        Slim chance for GW38..but on Monday yes

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

          You think if he's rested Monday,he'll likely play GW38?

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

            Yes, but will be then subbed off as soon as possible (60 min)

          2. Pep says
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 10 months ago

            He's not gonna be rested for 2 weeks before a game. That's counter productive.

            It makes sense that after yesterday he'll have an 8 day break to gw38 and a 6 day break to the final as opposed to a 2 day break to Monday and an 11 day break to the final.

              Good point

    • Pep says
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Bit Meh about my hits this week

      Happy
      Hazard to Sanchez (c) -->> ft
      Coutinho to Sané -->> hit

      Not so happy (3hits)
      Grant to Pickford
      Daniels to Kompany
      PVA to Holding

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

        Pickford could make 10 saves. Holding & Kompany 6+ points...

      2. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        All your guys have another shot. Don't worry.

      3. Pep says
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Ya but PVA is worrying although Hull Must score and Palace are the same ol Palace without Sakho so that was my logic. A goal less draw keeps them in the Prem though, that's all Sam's gonna be thinking

    • mojoindojo

          I think you've got that one sewn up.

          Gabby, Gibbs, Stephens, JWP, Pickford, Holding = my crock of s***

          He could very well be classed as a forward

            As indeed he should

        This BB week has been awful for me. Stephens didn't play, nor did Gabbi, Cech conceded, so did Yoshida, Chelsea won the league meaning Hazard and Alonso may not play next two games and Jesus only scored from a pen.

          Pretty sure Haz and Alonso will start at least one of their home games.

          Conte is pretty loyal. I would expect the same starting 11 to take to the field in the next home game. Maybe Kante in for Fab.

            Nonsense

            His history suggests he will rotate heavily

            Why would he start the same team at Watford? It means he's giving them a 2 day break. If he wants to rest them he'll have to rest them against Sunderland meaning they'll have 11 days off before the final. Too long.

            Makes more sense to give them an 8 day break before Sunderland resulting in a 6 day break before the final

          For a change I made the right choice. 32 pts BB last week Sanchec TC this week 36pts. Shame he is injured now. But won my ML I think as my rival BB this week 4 pts.

        Take this for what it is

        Wenger doesn't think Sanchez will be a doubt for Tuesday.
