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

    just outside the top 100k and really want to finish inside it my team for the dgw is this , used the free hit for it

    ederson
    naughton tripper vertonghen
    sterling mahrez arnie tadic
    jesus kane vardy
    bench in the cheapest players available lol

    all help and advice welcome

    1. XabiAlonso
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Not sure if you need mahrez and vardy, also is tripper nailed to start both

      1. XabiAlonso
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        As in both mahrez and vardy maybe just one of those

    2. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Lose the Leicester

      Vardy, trippier, mahrez > eriksen, smalling, giroud?

    3. shotgunnufc - MANIAC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      i’d rather have DDG in goal and swap mahrez for another city attacker

      1. shotgunnufc - MANIAC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        and also would be looking at Eriksen definitely

      2. dorrian123
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        ederson is cheaper and home to huddersfield and brighton which seems like a banker for clean sheet

    4. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Why double spurs defence over United? Trippier to Smalling, Ederson to DDG. Mahrez has been terrible too and Leicester in general change him and Vardy.

  2. BRKFCTrueRover
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Hmm son to pogba for a hit? Already have kane and alli.

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      No

      1. BRKFCTrueRover
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        What about Willian to pogs for hit seems completely out of favour now

  3. Nightf0x
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Which in each? (Only 2 city players)

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

    Any other suggestions appreciated

  4. FPL Blow-In
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Lowton âž¡ Mawson
    JWP âž¡ Lingard
    Willian âž¡ Sterling
    Lukaku âž¡ Giroud

    Thoughts?

    1. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Nice

    2. agueroooooney
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Don't get Lingard

      1. FPL Blow-In
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Why not Lingard?

        1. agueroooooney
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          I've had him a few weeks now, hasn't been fun

          1. FPL Blow-In
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            8 years, 1 month ago

            Cheers. Two good fixtures and if Lukaku is out should see decent mins.

            1. agueroooooney
              • 11 Years
              8 years, 1 month ago

              I hope you're right, have other issues to deal with so I think he'll be staying for me

    3. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Maybe lowton to a premium def instead?

      1. FPL Blow-In
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Who would you suggest? Getting Sterling mean I have 3city. I have 3spurs also.

  5. Stupendous
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    A)Cresswell Bavies and Jesus

    Or

    B)Kompany Vert and Vardy?

    1. klavan
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      a

      1. Stupendous
        • 13 Years

        Yea basically to get in Jesus

    2. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      A

      1. Stupendous

  6. GHB
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Vert rising tonight?

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Probably

      1. GHB
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers EF. Might finally get rid of Alonso

        1. Epic Fail
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Do you really need the 0.1?

          1. GHB
            • 15 Years
            8 years, 1 month ago

            I am normally massively against early transfers at this stage.

            But have two free transfers and the exact to fund...

            Alonso & tark > vert and smalling

            Would leave the smalling one until Friday. What you think?

            1. Epic Fail
              • 15 Years
              8 years, 1 month ago

              Aye I guess needs must.

              Personally I'm keeping Alonso, but I do prefer the latter 2 over the former for you.

              1. GHB
                • 15 Years
                8 years, 1 month ago

                Would love to keep him with 15% ownership now. Just have no other way of raising cash to improve defense.

                In a decent position to not take any hits this week when so many are.

  7. Karan_G14
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Is Bednarek nailed?

    1. Point-one short
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Isn't Stephens back?

    2. Dele
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I was asking this earlier...

      I reckon Stephens will come back

    3. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Possibly, Stephens was on bench vs Bournemouth. Bednarek likely to play just one

    4. pundit of punts
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      The Southampton fan forum thinks that there will be no changes in the defense.

      if anything, they're pissed with Hoedt and would love to see him being dropped but unlikely after a win.

      1. Karan_G14
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers!

        Might have to get him.

  8. MASTER ROSHI
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Sorry, Bottomed
    Does Christensen + Vardy > Naughton + Jesus for a -4 sound good?
    Thanks

  9. shotgunnufc - MANIAC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    phew, as a salah(c) I think we got away with that. I took a hit to get Davies and son in for lingard and Christensen, already paid for and much happier going into the DGW

    no idea who to target now though with spurs not looking hot, Man City mids a gamble. rotation worries for Utd and Chelsea

    1. Dele
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Wouldn’t be surprised if Son misses a game, was really poor tonight!

      1. FPL Blow-In
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah I’d rather Lingard to Son for the double I think

      2. how now brown cow
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        I think lamela starts one for sure

      3. clodhopper
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Nearly had a couple of assists kept looking for harry looked sharp

  10. agueroooooney
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    4 point hit for:

    Mahrez + Christensen -> Sterling + Davies

    Yay or nay?

    1. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Yay

    2. hspin
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      yay

    3. VDiesel26
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      yes

  11. Nightf0x
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Which in each? (Only 2 city players)

    A- Simpson christensen to (bednarek laporte vdhoorn)
    B- Wilian to (dsilva sane arnie tadic aayew pogba)
    C- Kaku to (vardy jesus giro jayew)

    Any other suggestions appreciated

  12. SheBangsTheDrums
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    How about these for -12? (Playing TC)

    Morgan to Laporte
    Mahrez to Eriksen
    Lukaku to Jesus
    Murray to Jayew

    1. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah solid moves

    2. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Calm down

    3. agueroooooney
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Was eyeing up Laporte but surely Ota and Kompany start when they're receiving the trophy

  13. Pinky Blinders
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    This last DGW is going to be an S show. Outside of the relegation battle, having a league winner crowned weeks before the season ends is terrible for FPL. None of these also ran teams seem particularly bothered to still try hard. World Cup is also now more of a pain than a motivating factor. No one wants to go hard and risk injury. Ironically, I might spunk my TC on a nailed on defender this year.

    1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      So ironic

  14. bitars
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    The other tread died.
    I am 50 points behind my leader but ill have the triple captain left.

    What would you do of these options.

    Willan out Pogba in for free

    Willian & Mahrez out Sane & Pogba in -4

    Willian, Mahrez & Vardy out Sane, Sterling and Jesus in -8

    1. Positive vibes
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Depend on your rival. You must choose different player.

      1. bitars
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        He has Sterling, non of the others.

  15. how now brown cow
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Got to credit this guy for having a strong bench, but seriously......

    https://fantasy.premierleague.com/a/team/125090/event/36

    1. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      32 in autosubs!!!

      1. FPL Blow-In
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Nice

      2. GreennRed
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        In fairness not a lot was expected of Palace and West Brom v newcastle and Leicester. I would have same bench and he has a great rank.

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

      32 points off the bench! Extra jam

  16. FF Dirtbag
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Lukaku, Vardy and salah
    ->
    Jesus, kane and Arnautovic (-8)

    Worth it?

    1. JackQualt
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Rom vs Kane, probably just Kane
      Vardy vs Jesus, Jesus def
      Salah vs Arnie, DGW just enough for Arnie ...
      But starting with an 8pt deficit makes it hard to justify

  17. JackQualt
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Bavies or Vert?

    1. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Davies. Attacking threat. Though Vertonghen is more nailed on.

      1. JackQualt
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Thank you

  18. Pep's Money Laundry
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Couldn't watch the match tonight, those that did watch the match except for the goal how well did Kane play.

    Need to choose between kane, sterling & jesus for my tc

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Didn't play well, but played well in terms of FPL, had many a chance.

    2. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Still not great but could/should have had a couple more.

  19. Babit1967
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    How’s the team looking for the dgw took a few hits to get rid of the dross, worry is Silva and son playing time and Kane Jesus who to tc

    Ddg

    Chilwell Azpi Mawson

    Sterling Silva Son Eriksen

    Kane Jesus Murray

    Ryan Morgan Gundmonsen Lowton

  20. Positive vibes
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Hi, who is better?
    A. Alli, Pogba
    B. Eriksen, Arnie
    Ta.

    1. awgJose
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      A

  21. JJeyy
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Who scores more this week:
    A) Zaha
    B) Salah

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

      I gave both so I will say they both get double figures.... Salah probably

    2. Dirty Harry
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Zalah

  22. awgJose
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Need a midfielder up to 5.6 or striker up to 6.7 for the DGW. Is Gundogan really my best bet?

  23. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Groß dropping tonight. Ship him to Arnie before being priced out?

    1.0ITB

    Thanks

    1. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      For free that is

      1. Babit1967
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah good move

        1. Scapegoat Salah
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Cheers

    2. JackQualt
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Sounds good

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers. Could be dynamite against that Leicester defense.

  24. JB_FC
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Mahrez, Gross & Vardy —> Jesus, Sterling & £5m (-8)

    Who’s the best mf under 5m for the DGW?

    A) Kenedy
    B) Fernandinho
    C) Other

    1. badgerboy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Kenedy. Just remember he can't play in week 38 though.

  25. Pilgrim62
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Ederson and vdH
    or
    Fabianski and Laporte/Danilo

  26. Flynny
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    So what's the view now on triple captain???

    Kane and spurs were unimpressive tonight - but Kane still feels a slightly softer bet than sterling/ jesus

    Or is it best to go with a city attacker as they are likely to score more goals than spurs??

    Season defining decision .....

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

      City will score 6-9 goals spurs will score 3-5 probably... enough said really

    2. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      So hard. Sterling is the most reliable source of points at present perhaps?

  27. Zilla
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Would you do Willian to Sterling?

    1. Zilla
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      (tonight)
