After Man City swept aside West Ham at the London Stadium, we move to Old Trafford in Sunday’s second, and final, fixture as Manchester United entertain Arsenal at 4.30pm.

Having scored or assisted in five of his last six home fixtures, the hosts’ Romelu Lukaku is the third top captain pick in Fantasy Premier League (FPL) for Gameweek 36, with 11.42% handing him the armband.

Jose Mourinho’s side attempt to improve a run that’s delivered just two clean sheets in eight ahead of their Double Gameweek 37 trips to Brighton and West Ham.

Victor Lindelof comes in for Phil Jones at the back in the hosts’ only change, with Alexis Sanchez lining up against his former club for the first time.

Meanwhile, Arsene Wenger rings the changes ahead of Thursday’s crucial Europa League return trip to Atletico Madrid.

The most sold player (207,000+) for Gameweek 36, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang returns to Arsenal’s teamsheet – the Gabon international has produced attacking points in each of his last six league appearances.

Henrikh Mkhitaryan makes a surprise return to the Gunners’ first XI, throwing his name into the hat for a midfield slot ahead of matches with Burnley and Leicester in Double Gameweek 37.

Hector Bellerin is the only first-choice defender retained as Nacho Monreal – transferred in by over 29,000 after netting his fifth of the season last week – drops to the bench.

    I dont think people even want a fair bonus points system tbh . They just want one that benefits their team

      I prefer that one. Baps for everyone on my team no matter how shi+e they've been. Just send a few quid to FPL 😉

        A perfect system would not satisfy people on here

    Anyone thinking of Welback?

      You should give him a call mate. Don't keep your feelings to yourself, life's too short.

      1. Big_Andy_GAWA

        Yeah, don't be cruel like TC...

        U obviously took the meaning u would u think of 😉

        I just want to replace vardy in my team

          • 10 Years
          8 years, 5 days ago

          I wouldn't. Look at Giroud instead if you want a cheap differential, Chelsea still have something to play for.

        2. GreennRed
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 5 days ago

          Why? Puel has kicked his ar$e so hard he won't touch the ground until he scores again.

          1. semiconductor
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 5 days ago

            U think he'll get back to scoring?

    2. MANGE TOUT RODNEY
      • 10 Years

      Nope!

    3. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 5 days ago

      Whatever you think of him, can be a limited footballer, but doesn't lack in work rate. Can't say the same for a lot of his Instagram hogging teammates.

    Smalling, lowton, Christensen, Mustafi, Morgan
    Mahrez, Willian, Son, Gross, Young
    Kane, Vardy, Lukaku

    Lukaku+Mahrez>Jesus+Sterling the obvious one I think?

    Prepared to take few hits as None of my rivals in main ML will likely catch me (lead of 170+). playing for the OR now. on 2.5K but will likely be out of 10K at this rate this GW. So, any more transfer suggestions?

  6. DA Minnion (Former great)

    Kane captain tomorrow
    Need at least one goal from him
    Two would be great. Leading mini league and all the rest of top 5 captained Salah.

    What are your thoughts on this team?
    How would you use the 1FT?
    I'm considering Wood Vardy -> Ayew Jesus, for a hit (have to downgrade someone to afford Vardy -> Jesus)

    DDG
    Smalling Morgan Dummet
    Salah Son Sterling(v) Willian Lingard
    Kane(tc) Vardy

      Willian to d Silva ?

      1. merin
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 5 days ago

        Good suggestion, and I can just about afford it.
        Would you rather have Silva than Jesus for the remaining matches?

        1. Ajax Hamsterdam
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 5 days ago

          I like your front two so wouldn't change it. I'd rather have Jesus though ...

    You guys think D.Silva took his rest and back from next week or is he resting for the rest of the season?

    1. -SB-
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 5 days ago

      Also, will Kompany be back too?

    2. badgerboy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 5 days ago

      It's really hard to say. It's not that he's having a rest though, spending time at home.

    3. Pep says
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 5 days ago

      He isn't resting. He's spending time with his family during what is apparently a difficult time. Big difference. He may just play the homecoming game and be dismissed for the season. No point trying to figure it out, safest to avoid

    Anyone else need a big fat Kane blank tomorrow?

    1. Pep says
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 5 days ago

      I own him bit everyone around me seems to have capped him so I don't mind if he blanks.

      Would make putting the TC in Sterling next weekend much easier if he does blank also

    2. Robman

      Hell no

  19. Sánchez
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 5 days ago

    Anyone feel they've learnt any lessons this season to carry into next?

    I started the season with a fixed 433 for ages and was average 60pts per week till December.

    I was 7k at my peak with all chips in tact, then "upgraded" Sterling to Sane and fell to 60k.

    Got back to 11k, then signed Salah for first time about week 26 then quickly fell to about 180k.

    Sold him gw32 and now back into 100k. Which is crap.

    My best final ranks before were 15k and 17k and went a bit casual last 2 seasons. But this season I have tried properly but have fallen apart.

    Thing is, I don't know what caused the fall. The dlide from 11k to 80k can't be because I signed Salah. He was my best player in those weeks.

    I changed from 433 to 343 to accommodate Salah at that time and it meant I was with an awful midfield of Pogba Richarlison and Walcott at the time.

    I've taken very few hits and only have TV of 102m so maybe that's something I fone wrong but top ranked players tend notvto take hits so not sure.

    I feel like after a poor season I should at least take something away from it but I actually feel like I've not learned anything from it.

    Anyone actually taken anything from tuis season to use next year?

    1. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 5 days ago

      Simple really - you selected the wrong players ... happens to us all 🙁

      1. Sánchez
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 5 days ago

        But that's always possible. I mean like a lesson to help improve. I can't improve on my judgement of a player really. I mean like the bigger tactical picture

    2. Sánchez
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 5 days ago

      Sorry about typos. Long post and on mobile

    3. MANGE TOUT RODNEY
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 5 days ago

      Trust my instincts!

      1. Sánchez
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 5 days ago

        🙂

        I actually think there's a point in this. I had Sterling when he wasn't popular and got told in a post I would "need" Sane. The 8 weeks that followed Sterling outscored him by 40 points

        1. MANGE TOUT RODNEY
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 5 days ago

          This week was going to put Ryan in goal and cap Jesus.

          Instead I put DDG in goal and capped Salah! Big points swing.

          1. Sánchez
            • 13 Years
            8 years, 5 days ago

            Huge. What? About 8 for keepers and 12 for captains? 20 points

    4. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 5 days ago

      Have been playing over 10 years and still useless so so clearly haven't learned my lessons yet 🙂

    5. Pep says
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 5 days ago

      Form and fixtures over dgws

      Spend less time reading comments here as it panics me into going with the crowd

      1. theodosios
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 5 days ago

        This

      2. Sánchez
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 5 days ago

        That last bit is probably very important.

        How often do we do that but not think about who is advising us?

    6. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 5 days ago

      Top 10k (for now) and TV is only 101.3m so for me TV is not important. Key lessons for me:

      - Top 6 players are miles ahead of most others
      - Nailedness is a very important factor. All of the players in the Top 6 teams will miss games, but some will play 32+ games a season and they are worth keeping
      - You only need a squad of 13 players (including 2 GK), get in a cheap defender / midfielder for the other two spots to maximise the number of Top 6 players you have
      - Fixtures for non-Top 6 teams are important for determing clean sheets so plan ahead for your defender combinations
      - If you are in the Top 10k then just play safe - get the most highly owned players and have only one or two differentials
      - Don't forget importance of the eye test - stats can't tell you how good someone is at shooting or crossing, or how many good quality shots or passes someone is making

      1. Sánchez
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 5 days ago

        Great post. Cheers.

        Eye test is a bit tough for me.
        Haven't seen a game since Leicester won the title.

        Like the points on squad makeup though. And top club stuff. Thanks for reply

    7. DJ1000
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 5 days ago

      Play attackers from the teams most exciting to watch and scoring the most goals and get cheap defenders in from dull teams like Burnley. All about attackers and their high ceiling

      1. Sánchez
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 5 days ago

        Think this is something I was coming to think too. I've got Lukaku for United dgws and fixtures, but they don't score.
        Was far better and wiser to have a city player like Jesus really

    8. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 5 days ago

      I think I have good instincts on picking the right players and who will do well week to week that I tend to take too many hits. If I could curb the punts I'd have done very well this season.

      The plus side of moving players on and getting new players in is that if they return points, your TV rises. I rarely get a player because he's rising... I tend to get a player too early if anything, and I maybe what I need to learn is wait for returns before hitting the transfer button (e.g. Sanchez).

      I sold Mahrez and Silva this week for Alli and Sané. You've got to know when to jump off players. I sold Robertson (for Moreno) 2 weeks ago too and he hasn't played since.

      Shame I started the season so badly and resisted Salah for so long (had Mané). I think it's important to have the highly owned big hitters and differentiate your team elsewhere.

      1. Sánchez
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 5 days ago

        These are tough things to call.
        I kept many like Richarlison too long. But on high owned, I went without Salah to 26 and done better without him.
        It's a tough thing to call when to sell someone

    9. rupopo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 5 days ago

      Just been looking back at my history and this now 12th year I've been playing...jeez.....and 9 of those 12 (fingers crossed no disaster in next 2 weeks), have been in top 100k. But I have never broken the top 10k by the end of season.

      I was 12th once in November one season ages back playing a 5-3-2 🙂

      So I have no idea how to get further ahead.

      Live and learn.

      The best week's I've had are when I've gone with my instincts. But then again, so are some of my worst 🙂

  20. I Have No Idea What I'…
    • 9 Years

    Anyone else tempted by Rashford if Lukaku is out? Could start both games in DGW37 ...

    1. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 5 days ago

      Keep away from united

    2. MANGE TOUT RODNEY
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 5 days ago

      Nope

    3. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 5 days ago

      No way

  21. diesel001
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 5 days ago

    Name some of your options for DGW 37 differentials. Ones I am considering (long list):

    Forwards: Lacazette, Giroud, Rashford, Austin, J.Ayew
    Midfielders: Ramsey, Gundogan, Pogba, Lucas Moura, Tadic, Clucas
    Defenders: Emerson, Laporte, Lindelof, Alderweireld, Yoshida, Naughton

    1. No Luck
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 5 days ago

      Surely Arnie and Auba can be considered differentials? Kompany too.

      1. diesel001
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 5 days ago

        Not interested in West Ham players. Auba - yes, but prefer Laca.

  22. No Luck
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 5 days ago

    Any chance Dummett, Bednarek or Roberts starts both? Any other choices out there (S or DGW) for £4.2m?

    1. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      palace def if there are any

    2. DJ1000

      Masuaku before today

  23. The Royal Robin
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 5 days ago

    Sell Salah for a hit? If so, for whom? Got to be Hazard, KDB or Sterling if anyone.

    Hennessey
    Otamendi Maguire Smalling Vertonghen
    Shaqiri Mahrez Salah Zaha
    Jesus Kane

    Pope Townsend Quaner Tarkowski

    1. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 5 days ago

      If you plan to bring salah back for gw38 then it makes no sense to sell for a hit

    2. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 5 days ago

      Keep

    3. No Luck
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 5 days ago

      Not for a hit no

  24. jia you
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 5 days ago

    After having a few lucky escapes this GW combined with my three City assets delivering, it's time for Spurs to pull me out of the gutter with a timely boost in OR before BB37! C'mon Kane(C), Eriksen & Hugo, do me proud!!!

  25. sunzip14
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 5 days ago

    Looking back at my WC choices:
    Mahrez, Willian, Morgan, Mustafi, Christensen, Lukaku, Vardy etc.

    Was doing so well until now and then this GW just ruins the whole season!

    1. DJ1000
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 5 days ago

      Sounds just like my main rival. Had 2 Burnley defenders sterling zaha salah Alli Kane Barnes Jesus and made 50 pts on him. He kept telling me how he would ruin me with his wc

    2. Winter_is_coming
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 5 days ago

      All 32 wildcarders are in the same boat, Mahrez is the biggest issue for me and my points, was hoping for him so badly.

  26. Differentiator
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 5 days ago

    If you have balls you'll pick go for a front three of kane, giroud jayew (eg kane and 2 cheaper) 😉
    not me as I dont have the FT to waste, but could be good if on WC as it allows funds to be spread much more than if going with kane jesus xxx.

    seen someone on here with kane perez jayew, so similar ish

      If you have balls you'll forget Kane for the dgw. Think it's silly not to own Jesus, not ballsy
