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

    Tarroll or Kenedy as 5th mid?

    DDG (Karius)
    Vertonghen, Mawson, Smalling (Lowton, Long)
    Salah, Sterling, Son, Arnie, Zaha
    Vardy, Jesus (Murray)

    1.7 itb 0 FT

    1. Murray + Vardy + Salah > Kane + J.Ayew + Sane (-12)
    2. Murray + Salah > Kane + Gundogun (-8)
    3. Vardy + Salah > Kane + Pogba (-8)

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

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          Worth it for Sane over Gundogan.

  3. agueroooooney
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Need some help with this, bench boosting this week, 1 FT, £1.2 itb and a lot of rotation risks (some more than others)

    De Gea - Fabianski
    Christensen* - Morgan - van der Hoorn - Stephens* - Simpson*
    Hazard - Mahrez - Willian* - Son* - Lingard*
    Kane - Jesus - Ayew

    *rotation risks

    Hoping Stephens regains his spot this week, also hoping Simpson comes back in for the suspended Albrighton.

    Even though he's nailed Mahrez is so out of form I think I'm going to ship him.

    Currently happy with Mahrez + Christensen -> Sterling + Davies for -4 and just hoping Lingard, Willian and Son get good minutes.

    Anything I should prioritise ahead of this or any extra hits look worthwhile?

    Guys, do you think bringing in Fabian Delph a good option, if you need funds to downgrade Willian or Gross so that I can afford Sterling and Jesus?

    Delph has been playing recently and if City keep bagging in loads of goals there is always a chance he can get an assist !

    1. Stupendous
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      No. Mendy back bery risky delph

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

        Think Walker will play at the weekend?

  10. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    What about no Kane:

    Lukaku Vardy Willian to Jesus TC Auba Pogba -8

    ??

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

      Hope you can get a sofa delivered by the weekend

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

        Ppl talking about Kane but he rly doesnt impress shietttt

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

          Lots said that over Xmas and look what happened. Back to back hattricks. It's just that know what he's capable of and very few players can match it

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

            Btw dont you think that City fixtures look far better?

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

              Yes they do but there's so many players that can score. Jesus only has 3 of the last 12 goals

            2. toerag
              • 15 Years
              7 years, 10 months ago

              yes

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

    A) Naughton (bou/SOU/STK)

    B) Dummett + 4 points (wat/tot/CHE)

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

      A

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

      Dummett, Watford could easily be 0-0

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

        Not a chance 0-0.A

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

    DDG - Fabianski
    Vertonghen - Smalling - Naughton - Stephens - Dummett
    Sterling - Sane - Alli - Arnautovic - Ramsey
    Kane - Jesus - Ayew

    1 FT and 0m itb.

    Any moves worth making other than Stephens out? And Stephens ➡ ❓

    1. liiusions

  13. Flynny

    Taking a - 4 to field this team....

    Is it worth another hit anywhere? Maybe willian to arnie or tadic??

    Ddg (ryan)
    Alonso vert Morgan (tarko lowton)
    Eriksen sterling willian gros (mili)
    Kane (tc) jesus jayew

    Thanks

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

    What's the highest rank that you think can realistically finish inside the top 1k? I think it'll be difficult for anyone outside 5k

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

      Without hitting some crazy differential TC I think 4-5k is about right

  15. Stupendous
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    TC Jesus or Kane???

    Leading most of my ML chasing a couple less important ones

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

      I think I'll just go Kane. More explosive

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

    Christensen to Vert worth -4?
    Thanks.

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

      Yeah, I think so

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

    Which pair is better?
    A Vertonghen & Ramsey
    B Davies/Smalling & Arny

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

      If arsenal lose midweek A

  18. Ajax Hamsterdam
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    its like the choice between being eaten by a shark or a crocodile...

    play

    A dunk
    B Morgan

    What's the latest on Lukaku's injury? Scan date set?

    1. Norman Conquest
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      they are saying should be fit for fa cup final might make gw 38

      1. Norman Conquest
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        gets results from scan tomorrow

        1. Teahupo'o
          • 14 Years

          Cheers for the info.

    2. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      could this benefit Sanchez ?

      1. Norman Conquest
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        could benefit rashford

  20. Hansel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    a) Mahrez -> Eriksen (-4), Have Son, Kane

    b) Tarkowski -> Mustafi (-4)

    c) none

  21. Aston-villain
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Willian to ??? (for -4)
    A)Ramsey
    B)Arnautovic
    C)Zaha
    D)Someone else
    E)Keep Willian

    1. drewbacca104
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      I have the same issue.
      Will Ramsey play ?
      Arne, should start both.
      Willian to play ?

      Consider Lingard ?

  22. Stupendous
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Davies or Vertonghen???

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

      Verthongen. Davies isn't worth the headache but has an obvious upside. Although Verthongen looked more attacking tonight strangely

      1. Stupendous
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Safer too. Thanks

  23. Louis Van Gaalstones
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    My BB team for GW37 -

    Courtois,
    Smalling, Morgan, Davies
    DSilva, Kenedy, Salah, Arnie,
    Barnes, Kane, Jesus

    Cech, Mili, Tomkins, Lowton
    0ft 2.4itb

    Considering Salah/Barnes >> Sterling/Giroud, thoughts?

    1. Sánchez
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      How much does that leave itb

      1. Louis Van Gaalstones
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Nearing 0 I think

  24. Delph & Safety
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    I have an advantage with 2FT’s for 37 and I’m certainly ok with taking a hit, a -4 at least I reckon. Although this makes me very confused of how to fit Jesus and Sterling in.
    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 Maguire 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?
    And is Sterling a must?

    Cheers.

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

      Salah, Vardy, Barnes -> Sterling, Jesus, Ayew

      1. Delph & Safety
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Thanks for the tips.
        Ooooh. Is there many getting rid of Salah??
        38 against Brighton is tempting for the armband.
        I would prefer to get rid of Riyad.

  25. Gallas25
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Hi guys.. I need some help!

    Does anyone know if Sterling or Eriksen are going up in price tonight? also is Mahrez going down in price tonight?

    I'm thinking of going Salah and Marhez out for Sterling and Eriksen/Sane but if it is Eriksen then I have the exact money to make that move.

    Thanks

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

      Sterling should go up tonight.

      The rest all stay the same.
