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

      cheers

  2. Stevie B

    8 years, 3 months ago

    Which transfers make sense? I have one free transfer.

    A) Morgan (poor form and rotation risk) -> Naughton
    B) Willian (rotation risk) -> David Silva
    C) Lukaku (injured) -> Jesus
    D) Barnes (only one game) -> Jordan Ayew

    Thanks!

    1. Bggz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      C

    2. Old Wulfrunian

    3. Balls of Steel

      C

  3. Mackans
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Wich of the following moves isn't worth a hit?

    Vardy -> Jesus
    Mahrez -> Sterling
    Murray -> J.Ayew
    Willian -> Sane
    Alonso -> VDH

    1. Stevie B
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      People here say that Willian probably will play two games and has a good chance for a goal.

    2. That Was Easy!
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      See reply on last page.

    3. We Will Klopp you
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      the Ayew one as VDH is logically a makeweight

    4. Eddie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Alonso > VDH clearly. Not sure on others.

  4. Punty McPuntface
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Missed all the news today...what's the latest on lukaku, is he out of gw37?

    1. Viper
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      More than likely yeah

      1. DV8R
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        What you gonna do with Bailly?

        1. Viper
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          Selling for Naughton.

          Helps fund Sterling & Jesus

          1. DV8R
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 15 Years
            8 years, 3 months ago

            I'm selling for VDH.

            Got Lukaku, Mahrez, Murray and Willian to sort out too, happy days 🙁

            1. Viper
              • 16 Years
              8 years, 3 months ago

              Yeah my side needs a wildcard but will have to make do

  5. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Is it me, or are they a bit late?

    1. Viper
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      No autosubs at this stage is strange

    2. JohnnyMagrinho
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Not surprising.

  6. Viper
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Man City fans eyeing up Uniteds 9-0 victory over Ipswich as a record they think might fall before the end of the season on the blue moon forum 😆

    Imagine that with Sterling TC

    1. DV8R
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Knowing the way my season has gone, he'll get a single assist before being hauled off at 59 minutes

    2. Rhinos
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      cant see it, teams fit enough to park the bus for 90 mins these days

  7. Ten Season Wonder
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    bottomed...
    Vahrez & Gross > Sterling, Jesus & A.King (-4)... seems a no brainer right?

    If I leave it i won't be able to afford at all.

  8. bennyp
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Thinking:
    Bailly + Kaku + Kenedy + Albrighton -> Vert + Sterling + Pogba + Ayew for a -8. Worth it?

    DDG - Ryan
    Bailly - Christensen - Lowton - VDH - Simpson
    Haz - Son - King - Kenedy - Albrighton
    Kane - Kaku - Vardy

    Will be playing BB this week.

    1. thunder_mike
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Yeah I think so

      1. bennyp
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Any better players to bring in?

  9. FPLShaqiri
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Is Hart nailed for next 3? Adrian didn’t seem to make much of a case for himself against City

    1. Viper
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Don't go there 😆

      1. FPLShaqiri
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Ryan is my only playing keeper now Schmeichel is out. Looking for a cheapie with better fixtures to fund Sterling

    2. We Will Klopp you
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      No and wouldn't want him even if he was.

    3. Positive vibes
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      No

    4. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      I imagine. Although it will be a boot camp, this week.

  10. fr3d
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Pick one for this week only, ignore price

    a) Willian (LIV, HUD)
    b) Mahrez (WHU, ARS)

    1. Viper

      B

    2. DV8R

      Sell both.

  11. dee_top

    8 years, 3 months ago

    Guys, would you rather have for DGW:
    A) Sterling-Arnie-Valencia +4 pts
    B) Sterling-Sane-Mawson
    C) Sterling-Mahrez-Danilo +4 pts

    1. We Will Klopp you
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      A

    2. Positive vibes
      • 9 Years

      A

    3. Bggz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      A

    4. dee_top
      • 8 Years

      Thnx guys. I did it!

    5. Mina Threat
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      A

  12. Positive vibes
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Who will get more points?
    A. Only Alli
    B. Willian, Morgan + 4 pts
    Ta.

    1. Jimbo-Jones
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      B easy

    2. JohnnyMagrinho
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Has to be B.

      Away to WBA is not going to be a comprehensive victory for Spurs - they might not even win it judging by the Baggies' recent form and they've had some tough games...

      You'd imagine Spurs could rout Newcastle but if Willian is set to start both games against Pool and Huddersfield I'd hazard a guess at him scoring the same amount of points as Alli alone, then you factor in the more than likely 4 points for Morgan and the other 4 points and you're up by 8.

      I'd say you'd have to be very unlucky to not score more if you went B.

      Saying that, I really wouldn't want a Leicester defender. I'd be more tempted by someone like Dunk or Duffy or maybe VDH/Mawson to be honest.

  13. The Neville Wears Prada
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    a) sane + dummett

    vs

    b) dilva + vdh

    1. Positive vibes
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      A

  14. Bggz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Anyone brave enough to tc sterling or Erik ?

    1. DV8R
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      I have nothing to play for now, rank 250k so may as well go for something spectacular

    2. Rhinos
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      anyone generous enough to lend me a tc

    3. COLLIN QUANER
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      I'm TCing Jesus. Sterling would be my second choice.

      1. Bggz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Because he’s more nailed or he’ll get more ppm?

        1. Viper
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          Nailed Ness I'd guess +bonus points

        2. COLLIN QUANER
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          Mainly because he's more nailed. Also I can catch my ML leader with a big TC score, and I know he's gunna TC Kane.

    4. Eddie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Lamela? I wouldn't Sterling a better shout.

    5. Yellin' in my Ear
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      On sterling arm, bit risky but mini league won and so calculated risk

    6. Boberella
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Sterling getting my TC for GW37.

  15. Mina Threat
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    I don't normally ask for advice, but this one is hurting my brain...
    A) Lukaku & Matic to Jesus and Arnie -4
    B) Lukaku, Matic & Willian to J Ayew, D Silva & De Bruyne -8
    A would have to be done tonight as it would leave 0 in the bank.
    At the moment the TC is on Sterling for what it's worth.

    1. Rhinos
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      A easily

    2. Positive vibes
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      A imo

    3. Mina Threat
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Thanks!

  16. Viper
    • 16 Years

    Bailly, Willian & Vardy - > Naughton, Sterling & Jesus (-8)

      Yep

    2. Royal5

    1. Pogba

    1. Norman Conquest

    1. Willian > Sané / Silva / Pogba
    2. Lingard > 7.5mid
    3. Salah -> Sterling
    4. Salah & Willian/Lingard > Sterling & 10.2mid (no city or spurs)

    DDG
    Vertonghen Chilwell Laporte

  19. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    I might try with this:

    GW 37DGW:

    Fabianski
    Azpilicueta, Chillwell, Dummett
    Eriksen, Sterling(ccc), Son, Pogba, Gundogan
    Kane(vc), Jesus,

    Pope*; Robertson*, Wood*, Lowton* … 0, 0.1 ITB, TV: 104.6, SV: 103.1

    Any views?

    1. Hibbo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      I think it's brilliant

      1. Hibbo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        The triple on Sterling.

    2. Bggz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years

      Why sterling? Are you worried about rotation?

        1. Bggz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          Why not Jesus out of interest? he’s top of your table

          1. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years
            8 years, 3 months ago

            It's more subtle than that. Also, with City, my Mother-in-Law would have figures like that, up front. 😉

  20. Kevtheotter

    Re What looks best here guy?

    A) Vardy Lukaku Bailly Lowton —> Jesus Kane Yedlin VDH (-12)

    Anyway....whilst you all wait...

    My latest restoration project circa 1980's....coming along nicely...https://i.imgur.com/4ICMK8q.jpg

    1. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Beautiful! 😀

      1. Dr Dream
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Absolutely of it's time Doosra. Somebody recently said that cycling is just a fauvist painting on wheels... I agree...and it doesn't get more fauvist than my Carrera Epic...

        1. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          I had a London-built version, in black(don't ask)(1983), with different wheels and tyres. It was from Evans, who took my trip to Somerset seriously. (Broke their previous offering on the way back the year before, on the Hogsback at Guildford.)

          1. Dr Dream
            • 13 Years
            8 years, 3 months ago

            Ah...shame about the black Doosra, that's a modern thing with bikes and not something I like. Carrera Epic's have a certain charm about them....definitely built for racing with no wheel clearances for daft stuff like mudguards and such like...a good choice in it's day as an entry level racer...

            I'm getting this little devil delivered tomorrow...1992 Banesto...10 quid on ebay....jeez...TEN QUID...!!!

            1. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 16 Years
              8 years, 3 months ago

              😯 Really?

                • 16 Years

                Mine cost £285, all in. Then. Wheels and such. 🙁

                • 13 Years

                Aye...a tenner...and it's original...

    2. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Could do with a nice bike like that. My brakes exploded the other day

      1. Dr Dream
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        I have a double garage full of them. What do you fancy?...

        I have everything from a Caad 8 and Synappse down to a shopping bike.

        By far my favourite are entry level 501/531 framed bikes of the 1980's though....

        1. Deulofail
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          Keep them in your garage. If I had any of them, they would be stolen within 24 hours

    3. MTPockets
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Nice. Still riding my 96 dynatech tourmalet. A bit triggers broom - latest was snapped rear dropout repair - but mostly original and still love it.

      1. Dr Dream
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Very nice.

        A little older than I like for Raleigh's though. The entry level bikes of the eighties for Raleigh has some serious whip on the front forks that made for a great ride...although the components were seriously naff...

        Get hold of a Raleigh pro race...add a couple of Mavic's and a Royce bottom bracket, plus some decent brakes, and you have a really nice ride...

        1. MTPockets
          8 years, 3 months ago

          Was never amazing but been everywhere with me - uni, commuting, sunday rides. Becoming a hassle finding 8-speed mirage parts, and 53/42 - 12-21 harder work these days. But a part of the week I still look forward to. Keep meaning to scour ebay/shops for something different but never get around to it.

    Missed the match. How did Kane look tonight? Triple captain material?

    Go triple Spurs attack or have a defender like Vertonghen with 2 Spurs attackers?

    1. Viper

      Defender + attackers imo

        Hmm not sure which midfielder to bring in for Mahrez now, already have Son and Sterling. Was planning on getting Eriksen

    -12 too much?

    Lossl > Fabianski
    VVD > Smalling
    Ibe > Arnautovic
    J.King > J.Ayew

      only an idiot would take that many hits

      Yes, too much

      At this stage, fatal.

      Not great transfers either for a -12

      You on a bench boost?

      None of them look certain to work out to be honest. I could maybe understand if you were bringing in, and captaining, a big dog. But all of those moves look sideways, or just a bit better than sideways, but still not great.

    Talk to me about Arsenal. They’ve got a double but are being overlooked- what’s your reason?

    1. Positive vibes

      Focus on EL

      Wait to see if they get through to EUFA final. If they do, avoid like plague, no-one nailed except Auba.

        Even if they get knocked out, that's 3 games in 7 days.

    3. DV8R
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Because it's Arsenal

        And this. 🙁

      i've got Auba and took a risk and brought in Monreal , i think they'll go all out to try and beat Burnley with their best team to secure 6th , and Leicester are on the beach so they're good matches for whoever plays

    Is Christensen not nailed anymore?

    1. Royal5
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Never been nailed

  28. Mackans
    • 8 Years

    Wich of the following moves isn't worth a hit?

    Vardy -> Jesus
    Mahrez -> Sterling
    Murray -> J.Ayew
    Willian -> Sane

  29. Kingtekkerz
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Have exactly the funds for this moves, so need to do them tonight before the rises:
    Willian, Gross, Barnes--> Sterling, A.King, Ayew

    Yay or nay?

    1. Viper
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Yay
