Gameweek 36 comes to its conclusion as Spurs welcome Watford to Wembley in Monday’s 8pm kick-off.

After Mohamed Salah’s rare blank on Saturday, Harry Kane has the chance to shake up the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) standings tonight.

The second top captain pick (17.84%) for this round of fixtures, Kane was handed the armband by 54 of the top 100 managers heading into Gameweek 36.

He was also the most bought player, earning 241,000 new owners, and is again the top transfer in as the north London side prepare for Double Gameweek 37 clashes against West Brom and Newcastle.

Yet his form is hardly prolific, with just a single goal scored over his last six league outings.

By comparison, the Spurs midfield have been far more reliable.

Christian Eriksen and Son Heung-min have both scored four times over the same period, while Dele Alli has netted on three occasions and also supplied a trio of assists.

The Dane is the most captained of that trio, with 84,608 FPL managers backing him with the armband.

Son could be the big differential. Handed the captaincy by just 32,917 FPL managers, the South Korean international has averaged seven points per home match this season.

Furthermore, he served up two goals and an assist in the corresponding fixture with the Hornets last term.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    43 (-4). Poor gameweek but Kane only getting 6 points is such a relief

    1. arndff_
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      55(-8)

      Agreed with statement's about Kane.

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Absolute letdown he is!

      ... but I'll still TC him, a sucker for punishment 😆

      Albrighton off the bench. Urgh!

      1. SheBangsTheDrums
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Ouch

      2. Teddy Brewski
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Ouch. I was thinking the same would happen for me until Willian finally came off the bench

        1. circusmonkey
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          Woke up to find my second bench player (Lowton, 6 pts) came in instead of my first (Albrighton, -2pts). It was a formation thing! Jammy.

  2. frenchfries
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Anyone considered Auba instead of Jesus for the rest of season?

    1. arndff_
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      No way

      1. frenchfries
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Why not?

        1. Baps Hunter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          Laca

      2. Big_Andy_GAWA
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        I might keep instead of transferring to Kane. Already have Jésus.

  3. LewanGOALski
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Bailly + Lukaku + Murray ➡ Laporte + Kane (TC) + JAyew for (-8) ?

    Yay or Nay?

    1. arndff_
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Looks good on paper imo

  4. jose1
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    If you were chasing 33 points in these last two game weeks. Your opponent doesn’t have TC or any chips and his going to captain Kane and has sterling. Who Would you TC?

    A. Kane
    B. Auba
    C. Jesus
    D. Sane

    1. arndff_
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      A

    2. Ghost Gooner
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Kane

    3. Tombory
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Jesus.. Will play at least 80mins in both and possibly on pens

    4. Messsiaah
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Why not Sterling?

    5. Up the tics
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      I'm in a similar situation and leaning towards C

  5. TaiwanHC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Yes or no?

    Dunk + Gross + Lukaku + Barnes --> Naughton + Arnautovic + Jesus + Ayew (-12).

    1. arndff_
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Looks good on paper

  6. YouReds
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Disappointed with only the one Kane goal, but 56 all out. Still going to TC Kane next week

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Yeah same here.

  7. Fred54
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    My brother forgot to change his team, has Albrighton (-2), Quaner up front and Bauer (6) stuck on the bench..and still scored 50.

    Nail the captain, nail the week. It was still Sterling.

    1. Jairzinho
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Why did you not mention Davies, Alli or Kane? It's not like Sterling was solely responsible for that score. Sterling only made up for 24/50 points (less than 50%!)

      Do other high scoring players not fit the narrative?

      1. Fred54
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Got to have a narrative. ; )

  8. JB_FC
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Making transfers tonight.. Mahrez, Gross & Vardy —> Jesus, Sterling & £5m (-8).. who’s the best midfielder under 5m for the DGW?

    A) Kenedy
    B) Fernandinho
    C) Other

  9. Big_Andy_GAWA
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    BPS update looks a bit dodgy on it...!

    1. Homer21
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      This

      1. Big_Andy_GAWA
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Yeah. Looks really like they wanted to avoid giving a handful of players 1 bonus...!!

  10. Geezer
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Do we think Jesus will go up in price tonight? Get him for Lukaku tonight or wait and see if he gets injured in training

    1. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Wait. It is GW37.

      1. Geezer
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        You are right

    2. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Touch and go. Just take it as yes when it's close

      1. Geezer
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        The man above convinced me. Think I’ll wait

        1. Epic Fail
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          Well if you can afford the rise it would be stupid to make the move. No point unless you need to.

  11. My neck my back my Saed Kol…
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Oof. This Kane V Sterling V Jesus triple captain choice is hotting up. Currently on Kane, god knows which one I’ll settle on

    1. Viper
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      You settle on Kane 😉

      1. My neck my back my Saed Kol…
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        I’ll show you. Wes Morgan it is!

    2. Regin
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      I am having same dilemma. If sterling starts both, I want to pick sterling as TC. But how do we know for sure if he ll start bboth?

      1. My neck my back my Saed Kol…
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Yeah, the assurance of 2 starts is what is swinging it for Kane right now

  12. Messsiaah
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Not sure of losing Alli now.
    Can Eriksen aNd Alli cover for Kane?

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      No

    2. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      I have Alli Eriksen Davies, got 20 points from them 3 of them today 🙂

      1. Messsiaah
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Same. Are you gonna bring Kane?

    3. Zilla
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      No, but Kane won't cover them too 🙂

  13. Jinswick
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Gross -> Ramsey worth a -4?

    1. Viper
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      As much as I love Ramsey I just don't trust him to start every game especially around Europa games

    2. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Thats impossible to answer till Thursday night

    3. BananaNose Maldonado
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Ramsey will only play one of the two in GW37, so keep that in mind.

  14. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    morgan mahrez barnes --> smalling arnie jayew. tick

  15. Blanka
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Who scores more?

    Salah plus 8 (vs Chelsea)

    De Gea or Lloris and Pogba.

    1. XabiAlonso
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Ddg and lloris won't score many goals

  16. EL tridente
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Danilo worth a punt if you are chasing?

  17. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Ultimately disappointing.

  18. BobBobtheBob
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    75 and edging closer to top 1000.... got to love FF

  19. diesel001
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    FPL still about 25% luck IMO. Look at today. Could have had two Vert assists and a Kane hat-trick. But equally Richarlison could have ruined the Spurs clean sheet. Noone can predict that with certainty.

    1. KingOllie
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Deulofeu shouldnt have been offside either really

    2. Desperately Seeking Dusan
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Same as sports generally? Little luck needed?

      Also, I jinxed Vert. I don’t think I’ve gotten a goal from any of my “attacking” defenders this season. Even when one got attacking points (Duffy), I had him on the bench.

    3. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Yeah but all these could haves are meaningless. Goals are actually converted at an amazingly low rate.

  20. @FPL_liverbird (liverpoolfa…
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    All in all what could of been a rise to just outside the Top 10k has ended up with me in the same rank. Happy though as it was always going to be a damage limitation week especially after Salah (C). Now time for some hits -4/-8 on the cards

  21. Desperately Seeking Dusan
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Some people on here make a big deal about Anfield Express use being “unfair” but although it’s undoubtedly helped me, this week it hindered me... without that lineup I would have been unsure of a Salah start so would have captained Jesus.

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      It helped me because my rivals captained Salah while I didn't.

    2. XabiAlonso
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      It helped me put Milner in my FH team for 1pt 🙂

    3. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Salah was the best choice on paper, so actually AE helped you if you look at the decision itself.

    4. Cok3y5murf
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      It's poison like I said... Good riddance it's gone now

  22. KingOllie
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Which should i lose for sterling?

    A) mahrez
    B) son
    C) alli
    D) willian

    1. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Keep the Spurs boys. A or D. Mahrez at least will play both. Can’t say the same for Willian.

    2. Lord Flashheart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      A

    3. BobBobtheBob
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      A then D

    4. Geezer
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      D

    5. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      D or A

  23. FPL Blow-In
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Is Giroud worth a punt

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      If he starts.

    2. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      for ft, yes

      1. FPL Blow-In
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Would be for a hit. Lukaku to Gru.

  24. Shorty 59
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    If Walker' s out, Laporte or Danilo to replace?

    1. Big Sum
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Danilo

  25. Colonel Shoe 肝池
    • 14 Years

    Davies vs Vert and why?

    1. @FPL_liverbird (liverpoolfa…
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Vert nailed!

  30. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    If Kane scored a brace tonight "everyone" would TC him next week. Coud this make the game more interesting? Surely many will consider a City player over him.

    1. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      normal C for me, but for sure

    2. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      shoulda had a HT

    3. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Sterling. Not TC,

    4. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      I don't really understand when people have this logic. His goal tally today doesn't affect his future goals.

      1. TLF
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        You sticking the arm band on him EF or opting for City?

        1. Epic Fail
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          More than likely, but a slight chance I go with Sterling,

          1. TLF
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 10 months ago

            Raheem has been immense this season hasnt he, I'm tempted by Sterling but concnere d he may only get 1, at least we know Harry is nailed. You not tempted by Jesus ?

            1. Epic Fail
              • 15 Years
              7 years, 10 months ago

              Exactly the reason I'm hesitant with Sterling.
              Jesus can be a good pick but I just don't trust him enough. Sometimes he goes pretty much all game without even seeing the ball, whereas the whole attack seems to revolve around sterling. He is guaranteed to get chances. He may be crap in the final 3rd but given enough chances he'll accidentally score one.

              1. TLF
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 9 Years
                7 years, 10 months ago

                Agreed, well good luck what ever you decide. It will almost certainly be Kane for me although WB & Newcastle won't be easy games....

      2. The Suspended One
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        form vs chances..

        I take the chances as a positive and back him to round into form leading into WC. TC for me

        1. Epic Fail
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          Aye this is it. He may not have got the goals but he got the chances which you can see him converting into goals if he keeps getting them. It would be different if he didn't get any chances.

      3. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        City are scoring for fun and Spurs are in poor form. Surely a valid argument for captaincy?
