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

        • 11 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Correct. Cant for much worse than Willian really. We small see.

  2. Arsenalp91
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Bailly + Son + Lukaku --> Vertonghen + Sterling + Jesus for a -8?

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

      Yes

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

      I just did something similar but lost Mahrez instead

    3. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      You're getting rid of Son? i'm look at bringing him in! lol

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

        He has done nothing for a while

        1. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          double coming though, would rather have him than vVert

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

            I will get Sane for him

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

      No other mid price mid you could ditch instead of Son?

  3. Salah’s Sonnet
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    How confident are we that Sane & Son get decent minutes over the double?

    Reckon they'll both start?

    Thanks

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

      Sane will get at least 150 mins, not sure about Son

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        that's enough confidence for me regarding Sane haha

        Yeah, Son is the one i'm not 100% sure on

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Thinking of doing Salah + Willian > Son & Sane

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

        I would do it

        1. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Cheers man, think i will, chasing like a mad man

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

      Start 1 each, Son gets 75 and 30, Sané gets 90 and 0

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        That;s still good enough for me, Cheers man

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

      Son did not impress last night. Sane more likely to start both imo

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers Royal

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

          Willian > Pogba/Sane for me

          1. Salah’s Sonnet
            • 14 Years
            8 years, 1 month ago

            Yep that's a solid move i'd say, have had enough of Willian, he has to go.

  4. BON
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Only have 5.7 to spend on a mid

    A. Gündogan
    B. Fernadinho
    C. Delph
    D. Other (who?)

    1. Positive vibes

      A if Dilva stay in Spain, otherwise B

    2. oscarhs

      8 years, 1 month ago

      Gundo

  5. MattSmitty
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Best option:

    A: Chilwell --> Danilo/Laporte -4 (waiting on Walker news)
    B: Barnes --> Ayew -4
    C: Neither worth a hit

    DDG (Ryan)
    Vert Alonso Mustafi Chilwell (Lowton)
    Sterling Son Willian Lingard (Mili)
    Kane Jesus (Barnes)

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

      B

  6. oscarhs
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    J. Ayew (-4) > Tom Carroll?

    1. The Mighty One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Is Jordan greater? Yes.

      1. toerag
        • 15 Years

        lol

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

        Tossing up playing Carroll or Barnes -> J Ayew for a hit

      3. oscarhs
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Woosh, sound of joke going over my head

        1. The Mighty One
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 17 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          I was joking but I was also serious: I think J Ayew will attack well over his last 3 games. They are strong fixtures and he is playing up top. Go for it! Good luck.

        ...seems to be not many here with more than 20...or maybe they're clever enough to keep quiet about it. Lol
        Oh well as long as your rank is decent and you win your ml's- what does it matter?

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

    Christensen -> Vertonghen/Davies for a -4?

    If so, which one?

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

      In the same boat, Vert for me

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

      Vert is more nailed but Davies higher ceiling
      Depends how much you like risk

    3. Victor6359
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Davies

  9. SouthCoastSaint
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Chasing 27 points last 2 weeks. He will be using bench boost this week, I will use triple captain

    Put simply I will def have kane TC and he will captain either Jesus or sterling. Do I get both to cover? Or go mad on giroud or differential
    Man City mids

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

      If he put C on Kane, the race is over imo.

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

      Same here, I maybe go for Auba

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

    OR updated

  11. The Mighty One
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 17 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone considering saving the Triple Cap for Salah home to Brighton for GW38?

    Problem is that Pool can clinch the Top 4 with a draw against Chelsea this weekend.

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

      No

  12. Arsenalp91
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Who would you rather have?

    A. Son + 5.4 def (who)

    B. Willian + Vertonghen?

    Thanks

    1. Arsenalp91
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Not sure who is good at 5.4 though so maybe Trippier or Mawson?

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

      A. Son + Mawson

      Mawson goal threat

    3. the dom 1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      A

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

      B for me

    5. Victor6359
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      B

  13. NestorC
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    I am chasing 20p and he have Jesus, should I go for Auba as differential? He also have BB and I spent mine. TC Kane is my differential so far.
    Cheers

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

      Does he have Kane? If he does TC wouldn't be that much of a differential because he could just captain him

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

        This

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

        No, he doesn't have him, but have TC and BB, also he have Jesus and I don't.

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

          Also, should I go mad with hits and hope for the best?
          Son, Willian, Barnes, Robertson to Tadic, Sane, Auba, Fernandez for -16?

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

            -16 is too much, no need to get rid of Son

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

              Cheers

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

          I’m in exactly same position chasing 27 points and rival has Jesus and sterling and I don’t.

          He can’t have kane as it will destroy his team so I will reluctantly TC kane and get some differential Man City mids to try and catch up. If sterling and Jesus go mad so be it but got to try something different now

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

            Same here, I have Kane and Sanchez as differential but it didn't help me so far. Jesus and Sterling destroyed me this week, I was leading until then, now got Sterling but not sure should I get Auba or Jesus

  14. Sess!
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    vert or smalling?

    1. waldo666

    2. oscarhs

      Better to get 2 spurs mids + Kane

  15. waldo666
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Well all the gains made in the last two weeks have gone this week, what a horror show!

  16. Smurf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years

    How was Eriksen?

    1. Balls of Steel
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Pretty good although spurs not very prominent in second half, all Watford!

      1. Smurf

        Thanks for the reply.

  17. waldo666
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    How's this look for a -4?

    Lukaku, Mahrez and Gross to Kane, Sterling and Lingard

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

      No brainer

      1. waldo666

        Cheers.

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

      Keep Gross

      1. waldo666
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Any reason? I can't see him getting more than 4 points across the double.

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

          I can see him getting more points than Lingard -4.

          1. waldo666
            • 15 Years
            8 years, 1 month ago

            Yeah fair enough and not like I don't have other issues that I could address, Christensen and Willian for example.

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

      Do it. Your second hits of season isnt it?

      1. waldo666
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        It would be mate, yes.

    4. Cok3y5murf
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Jesus ahead of Kane if you don't already have him imo

      1. waldo666
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        I don't mate but thinking I'd still rather TC Kane than Jesus, maybe Sterling an option too. You have given me food for thought though.

        1. Cok3y5murf
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Yeah whichever one you'd rather TC actually. Should've put it that way.

          1. Cok3y5murf
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 1 month ago

            whoever*. What am I saying lol

        2. Four Letter Wirtz
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          I agree with Smurf here. And with Jesus being a lot cheaper than Kane, maybe you could stretch to:
          Lukaku, Mahrez and Gross >>> Jesus, Sterling and Eriksen?

  18. Kevtheotter
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Making these transfers tonight

    What looks best here guy?

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

    B) Lukaku Willian Bailly Lowton —> Jesus Sane Smalling Vertongen (-12)

    C) Lukaku Bailly Lowton —> Jesus Smalling Vertongen (-8)

    Cheers

      A

  19. Sideways Backwards
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Chasing an unlikely 37 point deficit in ML, although I do have BB and he has used all chips. Currently both have the same front line of Jesus, Aubameyang and Vardy. Should I switch one for Kane?

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

      Yeah Vardy if you can.

  20. I Have No Idea What I'…
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    2 FT's for the exact money: Salah & Miliojevic > KDB & Tadic?

    Two differentials in, both due to start both games for their teams in a double game week.

    Yes or no?

    1. Sideways Backwards
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      If chasing, yes

  21. All Bäcks
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Leading my main ML with 33 points after tonight - happy with that after a painful season. My only focus now is to wrap it up so would appreciate some thoughts on my prospects going forward.

    My team:
    - Already made two transfers for a -(4) - Sanchez & Vardy -> D. Silva & Jesus.
    - Have enough ITB for Alli -> Salah GW38.
    DDG, (Ryan)
    Davies, Azpilizueta, Morgan, (Tarkowski, Lowton)
    Sterling, D.Silva, Alli, Lingard (Cook)
    Kane, Jesus, Barnes

    My rival:
    - Has both TC and BB left, I only have TC.
    - 1FT, 2.0 ITB
    McCarthy, Fabianski
    Smalling, TAA, Masuaku, Fernandez, Long
    Salah, Pogba, Willian, Gundogan, Milivojevic
    Kane, Aubameyang, Wood

  22. stat
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Lets assume Kompany, Stones and Walker are all out for the DGW.
      Who is more nailed on for the two games?

      A) Danilo
      B) Laporte
      C) The same

      1. Peace-o
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Laporte is more nailed for me. The league is wrapped up for them. Pep can give those who he might consider in his plans next season game time. But still, I have Jesus and Sterling (only because of his form I've kept). Would of avoided City defenders apart from Goalie.

    • JohnnyMagrinho
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Anyone else get stupidly lucky and only have three players blank this week?

        94(-4) for me for GW Rank of 536. It's actually my birthday today too, so you know, I think that was present for this year.

        Cannot believe how much luck I've just used up on FPL (only 3 of my players blanked). Would preferred to have won a grand on a scratchcard or something...

        1. Sideways Backwards
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          How many players blanked again?

          1. toerag
            • 15 Years

            .. 3 i think ...:lol:

          2. JohnnyMagrinho
              8 years, 1 month ago

              Yeah I saw I put that twice as soon as I clicked post.

              Somewhat tired/less aware at 1am. Funny that.

            Got 65 (-8) was happy enough. Silva and laporte for rudiger n willian didn't really come off though!

                Nice score. The amount of hits I've made this season that haven't come off have certainly hindered me so I know your pain.

                Rudiger and Willian could be good choices for the DGW though, so might pay off in the end.

                Am actually surprised at how well Chelsea have done the last few GWs after playing such awful football in the weeks before.

                  Ha, I know right. I guess we're all given one fantastic week per season.

                  Thanks mate. Too old to still be counting but I still do, just like everyone else..

              Thoughts on will I an to xhaka to free up funds for bench boost. Decent recent stats and nailed on at 5.1

              Also looking at bednarek as a 4.1 option at Southampton, is he nailed on?

              Cheers

                Lemina or Ki better options imo.

                I'm considering starting Mariappa over Morgan. Have no faith in Leicester what so ever.

                  they were so crap. but both dgw games are at home... meh

                  To play or buy?

                  I can't see anything other than appearance points for either. Could see Arsenal beating Burnley quite heavily just because Burnley are pretty much guaranteed Europe now and after crashing out of the Europa League, Arsenal will probably be annoyed and look to bounce back in their next game. Plus, it's at the Emirates.

                  I'd prefer a Swansea defender myself, although, again, I wouldn't expect really high scores. Maybe a good single GW defender is better option.

                  Same predicament for me, think I'm going to start Morgan but doesn't expect much from either of them...

                What to do...
                Willian or Son to Sterling for a -4?

                1. Kane Toads
                  • 13 Years
                  8 years, 1 month ago

                  Willian i would think

                  8 years, 1 month ago

                  make a decision later in the week - sterling up tonight i think tho

                  im getting rid of Willian for Sane as i have sterling

                  Thanks guys.
                  Yes a Sterling rise tonight on the cards.

                  Did Mahrez to Sane this past weekend!

                7 assists in roughly 20x90 mins for trippier.

                If he's 5m next year I'll probably get him and have a decent 1st defender sub. Wouldn't expect he'd come on loads as a sub.

                  He’ll be 5.5m sadly

                I see alot of preferences for Vert? Is he really a better option than Bavies? Starts vs points? How about trips?

                  As a Spurs fan you would know that Spurs full back rotations are a given

                  I have Davies and i think right now i wud rather have Vert for nailedness and Trip for goal threat, altho there isnt much in it.
                  Vert went close to scoring a few times today and i think people are being swayed by that too.

                Son+Willian to Tadic+Sane-8
                YES or No ??

                  I am thinking about same and will do it probably

                Hoping to better my DGW37 last year (had Kane TC) with this Bench Boost active

                Ederson Fabianski
                Azpilicueta Davies Smalling Dummett Bednarek
                Eriksen Alli B.Silva Ramsey Lingard
                Jesus Vardy Giroud

                Playing catch up big-time after having a mare this season so plenty of differentials & going without Kane/Salah :/ but all 15 players have double GW’s!
