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.

    How did arnautovic play today?

    1. Fantasy Gold
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 5 days ago

      He was decent.

      The service into him was just very poor in general

    2. walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Hard to say as west ham didn’t have much possession.

    3. Vinyl78LP

      Did ok with scraps, surrounded by dross though and against City had no chance of hauling today.

      It doesnt matter because the game was vs City

    I just need a Kane hat-trick to hit bang on 100 tomorrow.

    Go on Harry

      I prefer a haul by Son

      Good luck, though!

    What is your ideal back 3 for double?

    Vertonghen Laporte Smalling I think what I am looking at but Mawson or Monreal might get in there for Laporte

    1. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 5 days ago

      I’m going Vert Smalling Maguire

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

        Maguire would be nowhere near the ideal back three.

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

          +1

    Started the week at 1.4k

    Verthongen, Son & Kane to play with 9 off the bench.

    FFfix have me falling to 5.5k tonight. Given my team is pretty template, do you reckon top 1k hopes are gone?

    1. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 5 days ago

      They were right about Silva 🙁

      You keeping for the DGW? I probably will, between him and Mahrez

      1. Viper
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 5 days ago

        Yeah, not going to sell him at this stage. Just play & pray

    2. The Overthinker
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 5 days ago

      Not yet. tC if available, should be handy

      I am down to 3.5k with Alli,son and verto left.

      Teams in a mess for next gw

      1. Viper
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 5 days ago

        TC available. I don't think putting it on Kane will help all that much though

        1. The Overthinker
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 5 days ago

          Maybe go differential elsewhere. Like bring more differential along with 3-4 template players ?

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

      Similar position although you started about 3k ahead of me. Top 1k hopes are not gone, but your (c) choice is critical.

  10. Delph & Safety
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 5 days ago

    Evening.
    2FT’s for 37 and I’m certainly ok with taking a hit, a -4 at least I reckon.
    De Gea Ryan
    Alonso Maguire PvA Kiko Tarkowski
    Salah Mahrez Willian Lingard Groß
    Kane Vardy Barnes

    I’m not happy with Vardy and Barnes in my frontline, so looking at Jesus and Ayew makes sense. Mahrez and Morgan make up the 3 LEI musketeers which I’m willing to sell, along with Alonso, Groß, and - sadly - Kiko.
    I can’t get rid of them all, so in your opinion, who’s a priority to ditch?

  11. Football Heaven
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 5 days ago

    What’s been your best decision this season? Mines probably bringing in robertson before the bandwagon

    1. Norman Conquest

    2. Brosstan

      Lingard before bandwagon.

      Coutinho in the week he scored 18, captained him twice when he outscored salah wh8ch was nice too. Zaha has been a good pick for me to. Helping get a respectable rank... into top 500k now lol

    4. Ajax Hamsterdam

      cant think of any !!

    Will Fernandinho play every game now?

    Thanks

    1. The Overthinker

      Yes

  14. The Overthinker
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 5 days ago

    So for next week I have Robertson ( single), Bailly ( will directly play next year), mustafi ( rotation, want arsenal to go out ) , lowton ( sgw) , albrighton ( suspended, will probably play only 1) , lukaku (if he's out)

    1. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 5 days ago

      That's tough luck. Need a few hits and you'll be fine.

  15. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 5 days ago

    Is getting triple city better than having a more well rounded squad for the double gameweek?

    Specifically I'd be playing either

    A: Sane, kenedy and dunk for -4

    B: Ramsey, Zaha and Smalling for -8

    Go all out on city or a better all round team?

    1. Bunk Moreland
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 5 days ago

      Can't see how B outscores A, Ramsey will only play one and it seems likely that Smalling will get a rest as well considering Jones and Lindeløf are both fit and they got the cup final.

    If there's any mods around, I want to apologise for my recent comments which contained 'bad' words.

    I'm just too pissed off at Leicester.

    Sorry!!!

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam

      did not see your bad words but well done for saying sorry 🙂

    Have no City cover, thoughts on Mahrez Lukaku Willian --> KDB Jesus Fernandinho -4?

  20. Les Bleus

    8 years, 5 days ago

    WE, a military owned company in Egypt, has used a picture of Salah next to their logo without his consent, causing all sorts of issues for Salah, which may see him pull out of the Egyptian WC squad.

    https://www.google.fr/amp/s/www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/mohamed-salah-hits-out-row-14592187.amp

    This Egyptian Military really cannot do any right in its country whatsoever. Absolutely descible behavior on all fronts.

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

      If he was to refuse to play for Egypt it'd keep him nice and fresh for the start of La Liga.

  21. Dirty Harry

    Bring For our in for Vardy for a cheeky punt?

    1. Dirty Harry
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 5 days ago

      Giroud*

    2. Vinyl78LP
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 5 days ago

      Nah, Vardy will chip in even if Leicester falter - He's bagged 17 goals in the PL this season under the radar.

      1. Dirty Harry
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 5 days ago

        Yes definitely has been under the radar. I'm chasing big time though

  22. LIARS POKER
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 5 days ago

    Which is the better option

    A) Lukaku, Gross -> Giroud, Sterling

    B) Lukaku, Gross -> Ayew, Sterling - leaves enough money to do Mahrez -> Salah for the last week

    What would you do with this lot?

    DDG Hennessey
    Alonso VVD Mustafi Tarkowski Lowton
    Salah Zaha Willian Gudmundsson Arnautovic
    Jesus Kane Deeney

    1 FT, 0.6 ITB

    A) Alonso & Willian to Sterling & Smalling (-4)
    B) (A) + Deeney to Ayew (-8)
    C) anything else?

  28. barton fc
    • 8 Years

    already done a -8 and still have; morgan gross and alonso ( iam also starting king as i needed to to enable kane and jesus ) more hits or leave it?

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

      leave it !

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

      Yikes how do you take a -8 and still have Morgan, gross and Alonso

  29. LIARS POKER
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 5 days ago

    Mourinho on Lukaku's injury - "I don't know if he is going to be out. He wants to play all the time. He is never tired and, when he has small things, he doesn't care. He still wants to go. So, for him to say immediately, to change him, it is because he couldn't play."

  30. HNI
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 5 days ago

    Any chelsea fans around?
    I really need some light on who is more nailed for the double.
    Alonso
    Or
    Willian?
    Considering Willian benched inspite of being fit makes Alonso more nailed as was suspended and possibly offer more goals as thats what Conte was complainjng today?

    1. bench boost for every gamew…

      All things depend on the outcome of Liverpool match.
