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

    Triple transfer

    Mahrez, Willan, Vardy > Sterling, Gundogan, Jesus (-8) ?

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

      Better option than Gundogan? Other two definitely.

        8 years, 1 month ago

        Only have 5.8m to spend. Not many DGW players appealing up to that price

    GW 37 Team:

    De Gea
    Baily Vert Morgan Tark
    Son Sterling Mahrez
    Kane(TC) Vardy Jesus

    Bench: Ryan, AKing, Lowton, Gudm

    Transfers:
    A) Baily Tark to Smalling/Danilo Mawson (-4) and play 4-3-3 with AKing sub to Morgan

    B) Baily Gudm to Naughton Ramsey (- 4 wait till Thursday) and play 3-4-3

    I cant get Morgan out and -4 aint worth it right?

    Your thoughts?

    Hi all, got some pressing issues and could do with some advice.

    De Gea
    Vertonghen - Christensen* - Chilwell* - Morgan*
    Salah - Sterling (TC) - Willian* - Groß*
    Kane - Lukaku*

    Ryan - Barnes, Ibe, Lowton

    Willian’s and Christensen’s game time is incredibly suspect, but not sure whether it’s worth getting both out, especially with rumours of Willian starting both?

    Leicester are now on the beach and the defence is now calamitous, but going to have to play for the DGW.

    Groß’s fixtures are terrible, as is his form.

    Lukaku injured

    A) Lukaku + Groß -> Jesus + Arnie (-4)
    B) Lukaku + Gross + Christensen -> Jesus + Arnie + Laporte (-8)?

    Any advice?

    1. Norman Conquest
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      just A for me you are swapping 1 rotation risk with another in choice B

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

        Fair point. Was initially thinking Willian -> Arnie which allowed the likes of Walker/Otamendi instead.

        Seems to be a rumour that willian is likely to start both games though?

    2. toerag
      • 15 Years

      i have similar issues with willian mahrez and morgan...:-(

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

        May be worth keeping Willian. I’d recommend definitely getting rid of Mahrez.

      What rumours?

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

        A lot of talk around this website of him starting both no?

  5. mash

    8 years, 1 month ago

    DDG
    Alonso Vertonghen Morgan
    Sterling Alli Willian Lingard Milivojevic
    Kane Lukaku

    Ryan Barnes Lowton Long

    1FT, £0.1m in the bank.

    Currently have 10 DGW players, though happy to play Mili or Barnes. Willing to take a hit or two, so is it a no brainer to do Lukaku to Jesus before price rises tonight and then monitor the pressers before the Friday deadline to ponder further options for hits?

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

      Do it now

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

        Cheers. Main options -4 I'll then monitor would be Barnes to J.Ayew (bench Mili) or upgrade Morgan to a 5.7 def.

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

    Christensen + Lingard -> Vert + Ramsey
    For another -4, yes or no?
    Thanks.

    1. mash
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Would you be priced out by a Vertonghen rise? Would be better to wait and see how Arsenal fare against Atletico if possible.

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

    Gundogan in for a -8

    1. Norman Conquest
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      depends on who you are taking out

  8. FPL.team
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Best 4.5m or below defender for Double GW? I'm currently on Van Der Hoorn. Is he nailed?

  9. Mahrez âž¡ David Silva (instead of Sterling)
    ...means I can go:
    Alli âž¡ Mo
    ...in GW38 and keep 4 points.

    Why shouldn’t I?

  10. JohnnyMagrinho
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Naughton or VDH most nailed? Or are they both pretty sure to start both games?

    • DV8R
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      KDB likely to start both games? Thinking of getting him in

      1. Old Wulfrunian
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Me too.He will start all 3 games imo.Do you think its worth over Sane or Silva?

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

          Yeah could explode. I have enough cash to get him in

      2. toerag
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        price issue but he'll prob be nailed

    • Rhinos
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      being stubborn with Sanchez has ruined my season so its fitting that im going back for one last time. If Lukaku out he may prosper with extra pace in the team

    • TrollMasterDeluxe
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      How was Kane today? Heard he missed some good chances.

      1. DA Minnion (Former great)
        • 13 Years

        He missed some good chances.

          He missed some not so good ones too..

    • Sánchez
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      OK. Here's the situation ...

      You're 40 pts behind and rival has TC
      You have BB but took a -8 already

      Rival has Kane and Sterling for TC choice
      You have those 2 and Jesus also.

      Do you ...

      A) captain Sterling assuming he'll TC Kane to make Sterling and Jesus differentials

      B) captain Kane to minimise his TC risk but then only Jesus is differential

      C) Captain Jesus for differential x2 but others aren't of any use then

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

        A

      2. toerag

      4. Like an Egyptian Magician
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Your only choice is C cuz the gap with ur rival is too consequential. U have no chance of catching up with A & B

    • Kingtekkerz
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      How important is Kane?

      Dont have him, but I already have 3 spurs, so need to take a lot of hits to get him in. If I dont bring him in I will TC Sterling or Jesus

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

        not worth it just pray

        1. Kingtekkerz
          • 9 Years

          Cheers! I guess I just have to hide behind my couch

      2. DA Minnion (Former great)
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        He said he wants to get at least 30 goals this season. That's 3 more. I'd rather have him than not.

      how does everyone like swansea defense for dgw and last game?

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

        very good for the price just dont expect miracles. Mawson good for a goal hopefully

    • OldBenKenobi

      Can’t believe I’m now considering Tadic....desperate times

      1. DA Minnion (Former great)
        • 13 Years

        Call for desperate measures.

        lol desperate indeed Obiwan

      4. Royal5
        • 14 Years

        Don't think Tadic has ever returned points for me.

    • TLF

    • PL Ball

    • The Polymath
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Has the London orientated press convinced the FA to charge Ayew yet. He did foul a Chelsea player didn't he.

      1. Sánchez
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Are you serious?

      Nobody?

    • Fantasyamateur
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      What should I do now with this lot? Tight in my cash ML so too many hits is probably not good..

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

      Ryan, Gudmundsson, Tark, Lowton.

      0.0M ITB, 2FT.

      Morgan and Christensen both are 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: Jesus, Sterling and Ramsey for Lukaku, Gross and Mahrez.
      D: Other options..?

      1. toerag
        • 15 Years

        im feeling c

    • Jairzinho
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Ryan Sessegnon....

      a) What club will he play for next year?

      b) What position will he be classed as?

      c) Will he make the England World Cup squad?

      I know it's very early to speculate. I'm sure his price will be impacted by his World Cup performance (if he makes it) and any transfer speculation. If he comes in at a 6.0 defender at Fulham though, he'd almost certainly be in my squad. I think we could be seeing the next Gareth Bale.

      1. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Would be the perfect replacement for Rose. He's what 17? He should really chose a club where he will continue to play and develop. Wingback for spurs imo

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

          Can't see Spurs getting him tbh. Likely to go to one of United, City or Chelsea.

          1. Royal5
            • 14 Years
            8 years, 1 month ago

            Why? They don't need him. He'll rot on the bench.

            1. Jairzinho
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 15 Years
              8 years, 1 month ago

              Staying at Fulham would make him a decent FPL prospect.

              I can actually see City buying him and loaning him straight back to Fulham to develop.

              1. Royal5
                • 14 Years
                8 years, 1 month ago

                Depends on his contract I guess. Fulham will want to sell high and not risk him leaving on a ft

            2. Royal5
              • 14 Years
              8 years, 1 month ago

              I guess you could be right though. But honestly he should "pick" Spurs for his own sake.

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

        Is this boy that good?
        Never seen him myself.

        Seems nuts to be in WC squad from championship only at that age and a bit unfair even.

        But I do like a wildcard pick in a World Cup squad.

        1. Jairzinho
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          If he goes to the World Cup, I don't think he'll be first choice to start with.

          But can see him coming on as a sub a few times and making an impact, similar to Owen in '98.

          1. Royal5
            • 14 Years
            8 years, 1 month ago

            Or when Sven Goran picken Walcott over Defoe.

            1. Jairzinho
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 15 Years
              8 years, 1 month ago

              Yes, and then never played him, even when we needed a striker against Portugal after Rooney got sent off!

              1. Royal5
                • 14 Years
                8 years, 1 month ago

      Choose one please:

      A) Willian, Van Dijk, Lossl -> Pogba, Van Der Hoorn, De Gea (-8)
      B) Van Dijk, Lossl -> 5.4m def, De Gea (-4)

      I'm worried about Willian getting frozen out again but don't know what 5.4m def to get if I keep him.
