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

    Kane has a had a poor season.

    Prove me wrong.

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

      Only 2 goals away from equaling his last season goals.

    2. doublyG
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Poor is harsh. Below his standard would be fair

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

      He has 27 goals. As far as strikers go, he's done his job. That's a great record and he'll probably end up on 30+

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

      A very good season by mortal's standards.

      A poor season by his standards.

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

      Prove yourself right.

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

      hate to hear your review of the rest of the league.. or are the standards different? The others just need half his goals, a quarter?

      Such a joke..

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

    15 points today with 9 to come off the bench. Maybe I might just get away with a less severe red arrow than originally thought

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

      That's well over the average for just tonight.

  3. JJeyy
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Is silva injured?

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

      No. Went home to visit his newborn

      1. doublyG
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Back for DGW?

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

    Has Laporte any attacking threat at all?

    1. seanie3
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      none whatsoever

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

        It's time he learned 😉

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

      I'm more interested in whether he's nailed for the last few games though?

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

        Good question.

  5. le flem
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Worth doing Eriksen > Salah for the final gameweek, possibly for a -4?

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

    Is Fernandez expected to be back for next week? Knock 75%. Haven’t heard anything.

  7. Scotty B
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Foster
    Baines Kompany Alonso
    Walcott Lingard Shaqiri Eriksen Sterling
    Jesus Kane

    Elliot Barnes Lowton TAA

    Walcott > Ramsey or Arnie?

  8. brenks
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Is Lukaku & Son > Kane & Sane worth -8?

    1. AYLD28
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      I’d say so

  9. Powers106
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Are baps all confirmed?

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

      Looks like it.

  10. George James
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Have exact funds for below moves. Do it tonight?

    Tarkowski / Walker / Barnes >> Smalling / Vertonghen / JAyew. -8

    1. AYLD28
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      I like it! Help below?

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

    Is it just me, but to my eye Kane was better during 2nd half. Opinions? Did that goal give him some confidence or something?

    1. seanie3
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      same as all strikers, a goal gives confidence and extra spring in your step to go and get another, however he should never have strayed offside for the one that he scored that was correctly ruled out..

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

    Anything worth a further hit to max out at -12? Son to pogba? (Already done morgan mahrez barnes --> smalling arnie jayew)

    DDG Ryan
    Smalling Robertson Lowton vdH Dummett
    Sterling Silva Son Arnie Zaha
    Kane Jesus JAyew

    1.2ITB, BB37...

    Cheers!

    1. AYLD28
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Nah I think you’re good

      1. AYLD28
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Help below?

  13. AYLD28
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    DDG, Karius
    Vertonghen, Mawson, Smalling
    Salah, Sterling, Son, Arnie, Zaha
    Vardy, Jesus, Murray

    1.7 itb 1 FT

    1. Murray + Vardy + Salah > Kane + J.Ayew + Sane (-8)
    2. Murray + Salah > Kane + Gundogun (-4)
    3. Vardy + Salah > Kane + 8.4 (-4)
    4. Vardy + Zaha > Kane + 4.4 (-4)
    5. Something else

    I only bought Salah back in 35 so will lose no money on him.

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

      I actually like it a lot.
      EIther 1, or 3 with Pogba.

  14. hspin
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    CHristensen to get some action in gw 37?

  15. Wednesday1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Thinking of taking Salah out for DGW midfielder. Got Sterling, anyone worth a swap? Would have 10.8m

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

      Hazard punt, or kdb. go premium if funds not needed elsewhere

    2. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      KDB or Hazard. I've got a massive headache deciding between them myself.

    3. Kane Toads
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Salah > Eriksen for me.

  16. Karan_G14
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Is it worth taking a -8 (4 transfers) hit if leading by only 4 points in ML?

    The transfer for additional hit could be one of these?

    A) Barnes ➡️ Ayew
    B) Morgan ➡️ VDH
    C) Bailly ➡️ Mawson

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

      If Bailly carries on his trend of zero minutes then that's a no brainer.

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

      You'll torment yourself thinking 'what if' otherwise.

      Maybe Perez for Ayew, Mawson's appeal is as a goalthreat, not such a CS guarantee for that price.

    3. WVA
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Noooooo

    4. Positive vibes
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Baily out

  17. pundit of punts
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    63 points on WC.

    15 DGWers ready to play next GW.

    Pretty chuffed atm! 😀

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

      A cool 140 points for you next week

    2. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      im estatic for you

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

      Me too but nervous about players getting rested

    4. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Nice one mate

  18. Nightf0x
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    pick ur choices (only 2 city players)

    Simpson christensen to (bednarek laporte lindof vdhoorn)
    Wilian to (dsilva sane arnie tadic aayew)
    Kaku to (vardy jesus giro jayew)

    Any other suggestions appreciated

    1. BUZZBOMB ♡
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Kaku to Jesus
      Willian to Arnie
      Christ or Simp to Vdh

      ...in that order

  19. Bobby_Baggio
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Any news when aguero is back or is the son of God nailed for the DGW?

    1. seanie3
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      aguero won't play again in the league, they are trying to get him fit for the world cup..

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

        Cool so Jesus should start both?

    2. Andy'81
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      He looks nailed but I wouldn't put anything past Pep, Sane seems to have had his rest and Bernardo Silva will likely start one of the DGW games.

  20. N00B
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Who do you prefer ?

    A) Auba, Dilva
    B) Jesus, Ramsey

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

      b

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

      A, Wenger will troll you with Ramsey
      but why not Jesus+Dilva

      1. doublyG
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Is Dilva definitely back?

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

          probably will be, but wait for the pressers

    3. seanie3
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      B

  21. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    As if Capoue was Watford's highest with 28 BPS. He kept giving the ball away.

  22. klavan
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Willian owners keep or sell?

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

      Ι'm selling

    2. Nightf0x
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Sell

    3. doublyG
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Sell

    4. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Keep

    5. JackQualt
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Difficult to say, it feels like he will score assist over the next GW so it’s not urgent but if you can afford an Ali?!?

    6. SkeletONv01
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Would need to sell for hit, so im keeping, i would hate myself if i would sell him for a hit and then he hauls :/

  23. Dušan Citizen
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Anyone know if injury of Gjermund Asen is serious? Will he be back for next GW?

    1. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      No idea captained him this week so gutted he's out

  24. WVA
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Ddg
    Cedic Morgan Vdh
    Eriksen Alli Sterling(TC) Grob
    Auba Jesus Vardy
    Pick Schind Mili Ake

    Anything worth a -4? Tempted on Grob > Lingard

  25. hspin
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Mahrez, gross -> Sterling, Arni for a -4 is a no brainer right?

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

      Easy yes

    2. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Ramsey could be another option

  26. JJeyy
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Zaha + Tarkowski ---> Silva + Van der Horn (-4)
    yes or no?

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

      im keeping zaha (although I do also have silva)
      if you have at least one city mid already, no

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

      if you satisfied with the rest of your team do it

  27. eazy
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Any reason not to drop Willian?

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

      He might play and tear it up.

  28. kijsberg
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Lukaku & Albrighton -> Jesus & Arnie for -4?

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

      Yes.

  29. bitm2007
