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

      if you read the comments someone asks him to clarify as wenger didn't say that in his post match tv interview.

      Charles says:

      He did to me. Said he got a kick on the thigh and that he doesn't think he will miss Tuesday.

    Is there a way of finding out how many points behind you were in your ML say 10 wks ago?? Iv narrowed a gap of more than 200 odd points(when he used all has chips) to 63 and was curious of exactly how many ahead he was. If only I had another couple gws I'd say I'd catch him. Serious money involved. 70 a head to enter.

    1. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years

      No...on a month by month basis yes.. Otherwise, take a calculator and compute

    2. Pep says

      you just have to go and look at his gw history and do the math. I remember fpl used to have little line graphs that charted your ml progress - wish it was still available.

    1. Pep says
      • 10 Years

      Goalfests usually end up scoreless games

  23. SneakyPete
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    On whether he was planning to take Sanchez off before the goal

    Wenger - I didn’t plan to. He asked to come off.

    I thought maybe he had done a stomach muscle and it might go away again so I would see how it responds.

    He stayed on and scored a goal. That’s Sanchez, he is a fighter, who finds resources. He delivered the third goal which was basically the difference.

    On Sanchez’s injury

    Wenger - It was a kick on the thigh.

    On whether he would be a doubt for Tuesday

    Wenger - I don’t think so.

        1. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
          • 9 Years

          Why not? It tells you your points instantly, so why can't the table just be live running with your points?

        2. Pep says

          What century do you live in? Look at what the phone in your hand can do and tell me how they can't update 4million scores in a matter of minutes.

          FFF can practically do it and I imagine their servers are more limited in capacity due to resources.

          1. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
            • 9 Years

        The Norweigan version does and it's so much better for it.

        But there are only ~65k playing so makes sense.
