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

    Hi, kindly need your help on this, have 1.5m itb but no FT.

    Which one is better moves?
    A. Christensen -> Vert (-4)
    B. Christensen + Willian -> Eriksen + Bednarek (-8)
    C. Christensen + Mustafi -> Vert + DSanchez (-8)

    ML rival has Azpi so maybe take punt with Spurs def.

    DDG
    Mustafi, Christensen, Dummett
    Salah, Sterling, Willian, Lingard
    Kane, GJesus, Vardy
    (3.9m, Mili, Morgan, Lowton)
    Cheers 🙂

    Should i keep Gross?Do you think he will return points or sll him for a hit?

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

      Selling a penalty taker for a hit is always risky. I'm going to keep but I love owning him

      1. Old Wulfrunian
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Thanks

    2. Hansel

        thanks.For who?

    3. Volley127

    Elliot Barnes Lowton TAA

    Which one?

    Baines > Vertonghen no brainer tonight?

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

    Smalling a risk to bring in for VVD for -4?

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

      He was a risk when I brought him in 4 weeks ago and it's certainly paid off

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

    Anyone thinking of Salah -> Eriksen for the DGW ?

    Willian also an issue. Switch him out to Arne ?

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

      Just do Willian to Arnie for free

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

      I did Salah to Pogba instead. Already have Alli.

  9. The Neville Wears Prada
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Sane and Dummett

    OR

    D. Silva and Van Der Hoorn

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

    With 2FT’s should I just play safe and wait till later in the week to do my moves?

    1. #FPLBhuna
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Sounds sensible

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

      Plan your ideal moves for the next two weeks.

      Do you have plenty of cash leftover? If so, definitely wait.

      If not, you have a choice to make.

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

        Sort of. I really should have done last night.

        I’d like to wait for the Scoutcast and do more reading because I don’t think there’s anything that requires 0.0 ITB.

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

    A. Kane + Kennedy
    B. Sane + Arnie

    Which one?

    1. #FPLBhuna
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      A

    2. #FPLBhuna
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Or you could have all 4 like me

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

      A

  12. The Gobstopper
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Blech. 67 from my WC team but would have had 69 had I done nothing. Swapped out Zaha and Van Aanholt to fit Kane and Eriksen and, in the process, gave up 23 points for 12.

    1. That Was Easy!
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Can't judge the WC over one week, 67 still a great score.

      1. The Gobstopper
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Yeah. I get that, but it still stings, especially when the move was funded (largely) by a swap to Tomkins and Milivojevic...

  13. Euro Raiders
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Anyone play in the Draft League and If so what’s the view?

    1. boc610
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Great fun, really enjoying it.

      1. Euro Raiders
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Is it more time consuming. What about for younger players, teenagers?

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

          The problem I have with it is the limited options available for transfers compared to the regular game when you have injuries etc.

          1. Euro Raiders
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 10 months ago

            Thanks. Will stay with the main game.

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

      Not as enjoyable as the regular game.

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

    Would you rather have Alonso or Davies for 37 ?

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

      Alonso

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

    a) Lingard -> Sane

    b) Willian -> Eriksen

    c) Christensen -> Vert

    d) Tarkowski -> Mustafi

    1. That Was Easy!
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      B
      C
      A
      D

    2. Old Wulfrunian

      c

  16. That Was Easy!
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    A) Lowton + Gudmundsson > Kenedy + Mawson (-4)

    B) Lowton + Gudmundsson + Mahrez > Azpi + Tadic + Ritchie (-8)

    Thoughts, anyone else to consider besides Mawson? Cedric, etc?

  17. jdp219
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    DDG (Ryan)
    Azpi, Chilwell, Robertson (Lowton, Mariappa)
    Salah, Mili, Son, Eriksen (Gudmundsson)
    Kane (TC), Jesus, Barnes

    Willing to take a hit for more dgw-ers. But which two, and to whom?
    Robertson, Barnes > Mawson, JAyew
    Salah, Robbo > Sterling, Smalling
    Robbo, Gud > Mawson, Kenedy
    Others?

  18. Daghe Munegu
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Yay or nay?

    Salah Kompany barnes Robertson > Sané verthongen Ayew Valencia

    1. Daghe Munegu
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      For - 8

      DDG
      Vertonghen Valencia Mustafi
      Son Sané Sterling Zaha
      Kane Jesus Ayew

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

    Gw rank updated?

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

      points aren't even updated yet

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

        Tell them to hurry the fexcccxk up. Tired.

  20. Kuzser
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Is - 12 too much for Murray, Lukaku, son, alonso-> Jesus, Kane, gundogan, Swansea def?

    Leaving with with
    Ddg
    Swansea def smalling Morgan
    Willian sterling gundogan alli
    Jesus Vardy kane

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

      Do you think Gundogun is worth bringing in?

  21. Ron_Swanson
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    I did a -12

    Christensen -> Monreal
    Willian -> Sterling
    Murray -> Jesus
    Lukaku -> Rashford

    Had to take a risk. Think it'll pay off

    1. That Was Easy!
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Looks decent on paper, but I don't think those players will outscore who you transferred out by 12.

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

        i do - 2 of them probably won't play and the other 2 will probably only get 90 between them. so good chance those 4 will only score 2 points, and i think Sterling and jesus will get more than 14

        1. That Was Easy!
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          Every single player you brought in could possibly only see 90 minutes.

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

            Sterling will probably outscore all the players I've removed in one game

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

              Agree with this.
              Rashford is a nice punt too

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

      hope so because i have 3 of those players

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

    Baines > Vertonghen no brainer?

    1. That Was Easy!
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Yep, good move.

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

      yep

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

      Yep

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

      for free yes

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

    G2G? / BB team
    0 FT / 0.0 ITB / -8 Already

    Lloris McCarthy
    Alonso Cristensen Mustafi Dunk Morgan
    Sterling D.Silva Arnautovic Willian Ki
    Kane Jesus Murray

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

    Maximum hit take for 37?

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

      12 here

    2. That Was Easy!
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Very different from team to team, don't think you should ever go over a -8 this late in the season though. Rotation bites enough.

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

        Yeah i think I agree.

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

      No set rule, depends on the moves and team etc

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

        Are these moves worth a minus 12..

        Salah + Vardy + Murray > Sane + Kane + J.Ayew

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

      Max 5 transfers, so 16

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

    Last question here sorry. Thanks for all the help.

    A) Rudiger Vertonghen Arnie

    OR

    B) Yedlin Cresswell Eriksen

    Already have Son and Kane and the B option seems a lot to get Eriksen in

    1. Hansel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      A

      1. Stupendous

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

      Cheers all.

      I'm all set then!

      Cech
      Rudiger Vert Mawson
      Sane Sterling Kenedy Arnie Son
      Kane (TC) Jesus

      Ryan Barnes Tark Long

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

    Think I’m starting to settle on my transfers

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

    1.7 itb 0 FT

    How does Vardy + Salah > Kane + Pogba (-8) sound?

    Or is a third city attacker worth a minus 12?

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

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

      I can do a minus 12 and get Sane, Kane + JAyew for Vardy, Murray + Salah

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

        Sounds tempting

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

    Is Alonso going to replace Emerson straight away?

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

      He will for Liverpool and then when UCL is out of the question Emerson will play

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

    Ward-Prowse worth a punt to enable Sterling Jesus, and Ayew?

    1. That Was Easy!
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      I'd prefer Kante or Kenedy.

  29. Fantasyamateur
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    What should I do now with this lot? Tight in my cash ML and 8k overall (Before league update with Kane (C) and Alli points)

    DDG
    Morgan - Christensen - Naughton
    Mahrez - Alli - Gross - Willian
    Lukaku - Kane - Vardy

    Ryan, Gudmundsson, Tark, Lowton.

    0.0M ITB, 2FT.

    Morgan and Christensen are both rotation objects in GW37.. Christensen might get the Huddersfield game though so probably ok to keep?

    A: Jesus, Sterling and 5.1M MID for Lukaku, Gross and Willian.
    B: Jesus, Sterling and Ayew for Lukaku, Vardy and Gross.. Will leave me 1.6M ITB as well.
    C: Other options..?

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

    Would you start Gundogan over Gross?
