Saturdayโ€™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 Sanchezโ€™ 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 Gunnersโ€™ Rob Holding was the fourth top transfer target for Double Gameweek 37 โ€“ over 100,000 FPL managers drafted in the summer signing from Bolton as a budget-friendly route into a rearguard thatโ€™s delivered three clean sheets in their previous four.

Marko Arnautovic looks the man most likely to breach the Arsenal defence. The Pottersโ€™ 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

      Typical Monreal hit the post earlier. Bleeding Giroud and Bellerin involved in the goal.

    Just get to HT Arsenal. Then you can regroup.

      what happend?

      1. diesel001
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Nothing. They are winning 1-0. But it would be like Arsenal to attack and then get done on the counter. Sanchez being wise telling Arsenal players just to knock it around at the back and get to HT.

    Imagine if giroud pulled off a Hattie, I would cry

    1. Pep says
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      I was so tempted to bring him in for Kane and upgrade elsewhere. After his goal in the last game, he's the type of guy to go on a steak like he did a few months back.

  16. Pep says
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Sanchez should be the one running on into the box and let Monreal swing it in!

      Don't know why not, he's scoring goals quicker than Sanchez this season.

    Ramsey on the bench? Moronic stoke fans will nondoubt boo him if he comes on my

    1. Debauchy
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      He has been dire this season , bench where he belongs

      1. Pep says

  22. FPL Maldini

    Walker or Tripper to start tomorrow do we think?

    1. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Trippers

    2. Pep says
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Trippier's turn

    3. Moves like Dejagah
      • 9 Years

      I have Walker in the Sun Dream Team, should I get him out?

  23. Syd.
    • 16 Years

    The guy second in my mini league did

    Llorente > Gabbi
    Bellerin > Gibbs

    1. Pep says
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Ouch. That was a stupid move tbf

    2. Sims
      • 9 Years

      Did u laugh hard at him

    3. ChelseaGuy

              Huh, I assumed they all ditched the moment he rolled out that new hair

              1. AndyCook
                  8 years, 11 months ago

                  He sort of deserves it, benched for weeks, Ox getting injured was bad news. Hopefully back next week.

            • Holmes
              • 12 Years
              8 years, 11 months ago

              Someone was considering but everyone said he is too expensive and wont start, so probably didnt went for him

              1. Pep says
                • 10 Years
                8 years, 11 months ago

                I said he was expensive and most probably already had Arsenal defenders.

                He was always starting after the Ox injury though imo

                1. AndyCook
                    8 years, 11 months ago

                    Thought about him but Ox could be back next game or the last game so risky

                o/

                And don't say captain fail. It's half time. He looks hungry in this game. And with the speed Monreal is running into the box at, a penalty isn't out of the equation

                1. Kloppen Schloppen
                  • 9 Years
                  8 years, 11 months ago

                  Absolutely wasn't thinking that.

                  Just saw the Giroud goal, could have easily have been Sancheeeez too. Even Monreal's hit the bar.

                  It's looking good!

                Yes. Doesn't look like getting much here but he'll want to get on the scoresheet vs Sunderland

                People with lack of football knowledge, he is a traditional No.9. Just that Arsenal don't play to his strengths most of the time.

                Nicely done!! Presumably to raise fund for KdB or someone? ๐Ÿ˜‰

                  • 9 Years
                  8 years, 11 months ago

                  Absolutely, had enough funds to go for a Silva or a Sane but was too tempted by KDB.

                  1. Twisted Saltergater
                    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                    • 16 Years
                    8 years, 11 months ago

                    I was so close to doing Gabbi + Alli > Giroud + Sané but I knew my ML rival was going to TC Sanchez who I didn't have. So in the end, played it safe with Alli + Ozil > Sané + Sanchez(c) and kept Gabbi.

                    Giroud always comes good at the end of the season. Good punt!
