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

    If you still had Alexis Sanchez would you keep him or replace with KdB/Hazard or others ?

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

      Need to keep have many other problems

      C, Gundogan?

  4. Nightf0x
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Which duo to get? (1 mid only)
    Sane silva laporte jesus

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

      I think there’s worries about Silva not even being in the country so Sane I think

      1. Nightf0x
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        And the other one?

    2. Aston-villain
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Sane + Jesus...and its not even close.

  5. Jairzinho

    Overall ranks updated.

  6. Ibracadabra
    • 17 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    About to confirm this, but not feeling confident...

    Christensen, Mahrez and Lukaku -> Vertonghen, Sterling, + Jesus (-4)

    Any criticism?

    1. Messsiaah
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Easy. Do it

      1. Ibracadabra
        • 17 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks, means I keep Salah and also Willian but hoping he starts at home to HUD in the second game of 37.

      2. Ibracadabra
        • 17 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Would you rather Morgan -> Laporte or Danilo or Christensen -> Vertonghen. Means I have to keep the other one. Part of me is OK keeping Christensen in case he does get a start v HUD at home in 37 if they lose or draw with LIV...

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

      get it done

      1. Ibracadabra
        • 17 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks. Christensen-> Vertonghen or Morgan -> Laporte/Danilo? A bit concerned about their rotation but they are so cheap and wouldn't mind keeping Christensen in case he gets a game against HUD in the second part of 37.

    3. NestorC

      Nice

        thx

  7. Messsiaah

    Sane or Otamendi?

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

      Sane

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

      Sane

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

    Jesus or Auba if chasing lad who have Jesus?

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

      Gotta be auba if chasing, but can't look past Jesus, it's a toughie that one.

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

        Cheers, will get Sane and Sterling to cover

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

      Depends how far behind you are and how different your teams are. If a long way and similar teams go Auba, but I’d say 90% chance Jesus outscores him sonif you are within 25 and have other diffs id go Jesus

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

        He have BB and about 25p away, and I have Kane and Sanchez, he doesn't. I need to take couple hits to get essential players

  9. JohnnyMagrinho
      8 years, 1 month ago

      What's happened with Stephens at Southampton? Is Bednarek preferred or is there possible rotation for this DGW?

      Cedric/Bertrand most nailed right?

      1. JoeJitzu +42
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Exactly what you said

        1. JohnnyMagrinho
            8 years, 1 month ago

            OK cool. Cheers, looks like I'll take a cheeky punt on Cedric then.

            Thanks.

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

        Asked this earlier to day but only one reply.

        So if you had to choose from either, who would you have?

        A) Azpi
        B) Alonso

        Appreciate any answers.

        1. JoeJitzu +42
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Think A

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

            yeah the last reply i got was Azpi also, i'm preferring him as well to be honest.

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

          A

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

            Cheers, a resounding A by the looks of it haha

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

          have had A for ages but would have had B had i the money at the time

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

            Cool cheers, i'm going Azpi now anyway 🙂

        4. JohnnyMagrinho
            8 years, 1 month ago

            10 GWs ago I would have said Alonso.

            Now, I'd say Azpilicueta, just because you know he'll play every single remaining game for Chelsea and he's not a bad shout for an odd assist here and there either.

            Think Alonso will play, but probably not both games so his appeal has to be somewhat diminished.

            The most obvious advantage for Alonso is that in the game that he might play in, he could feasibly grab a goal. I've had him earlier in season and only been left feeling frustrated by him so I'd definitely go Azpilicueta.

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

              Nice summary there and i echo what you say, totally agree, weeks ago i'd of said Alonso as well, how quickly that changes though haha. Azpi it is then 🙂

          • 15 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Best defender for 5.7 or under?

          Smalling - will be pay both?
          Trippier?
          City?

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

            Danilo if Walker's out , Monreal as a riskier pick but could be gold if he plays both

        8. The Neville Wears Prada
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          *Disclaimer, person who I was speaking to did not have a source.

          Anyways, they said David Silva may be given time off now that City has wrapped the league off to tend to his personal matters. They said he will most likely play HUD since that's where they will be lifting the trophy at home, then will be given time off.

          True or not, it's definitely a tough choice, since Sane or even Bernado Silva could be just as good of picks, or better. What is everyone's opinions on this?

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

            Getting Sane

        9. Nightf0x
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Which in each? (Only 2 city players)

          A- Simpson christensen to (bednarek laporte vdhoorn)
          B- Wilian to (dsilva sane arnie tadic aayew pogba)
          C- Kaku to (vardy jesus giro jayew)

        10. Tiki-Taka
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Which 3 midfielders do you think looks the best guys? Any help much appreciated ty

          A) Pogba / Alli / Son
          B) Alli / Mahrez / Arnautovic
          C) Mahrez / Pogba / Son

          1. willl
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 1 month ago

            Alli / Pogba / Arny

            rather Eriksen than Alli if you don't already have him.

            Leicester on the beach.

            1. Tiki-Taka
              • 15 Years
              8 years, 1 month ago

              Can't do that option mate as I only have 2 transfers to use and I'm using Sterling for one of those. Already own Alli also.

              I've just been thinking about it and think I want to hold Mahrez, expect a Leicester response and Wham and Arsenal at home are perfect opportunity to put things right.

              So the Q now is more - Alli + Arnautovic or Son + Pogba --- leaning towards Alli Arny because both guaranteed 2 starts in the double you'd think

              1. willl
                • 10 Years
                8 years, 1 month ago

                Alli Arny the better from those two options

                1. Tiki-Taka
                  • 15 Years
                  8 years, 1 month ago

            • 12 Years

            A, possibly?

            1. Tiki-Taka
              • 15 Years
              8 years, 1 month ago

              It looks good but I'm worried Son starting both? Got a feeling Lamela / Moura will surely play one

          4. Royal5
            • 14 Years

            Get rid of Mahrez

        11. willl
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Worth replacing Jones for -4, using BB this week.

          Would have a budget of 5.6m.

        12. Mcgugan
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Willian to anyone worth -4? Up to 8.1?

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

            i'd say yes, just looks totally off the boil.

        13. CloudSky

        14. Mcgugan
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Thought on if Son will play both? Worth a hit over Willian?

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

            yep, making that move myself, and i more or less asked this above, check there for replies 🙂

            1. Salah’s Sonnet

        15. barracuda
          • 9 Years

          Zaha to Pogba for a hit?

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

            Go to bed.

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

              Stoke are tight at home, WHU very leaky. 2x CS is 6 for Pogba. add a goal and it could pay off. Last game v Watford too.

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

                Stoke are dome and dead. Zaha and CPL in fantastic form. I like Pogba but not for Zaha.

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

                  You may be correct. Stoke also need to win so they will play open football which will suit Wilf.

          • 9 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Hearing whispers that Allegri will become the next Arsenal manager & will be announced in the coming weeks ...

          1. Digital-Real
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 1 month ago

            leave an ambitious club with a winning team and a great squad, to join a club with no ambition?
            It's not going to happen.

            1. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
              • 9 Years
              8 years, 1 month ago

              Allegri is earning 3m a year at Juve, could easily triple his salary at Arsenal (Wenger is on 10m a year)

        17. Raxu
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Should I replace Otamendi or will he get two starts in GW37 you think?

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

            Id probably keep

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

              Komps is questionable

                • 8 Years
                8 years, 1 month ago

                Thinking about getting rid of Otamendi so I can go full out City offensive with KDB, Sterling and Jesus for -8

          Who do your prefer for this week?

          A) VDH (bou, SOU) (-4)
          B) Lowton (ars)

          1. Royal5
            • 14 Years

        19. Sylvester the Investor
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          What's the skinny on Danilo? Is he nailed while Walker is injured?

          Just read these comments on a news site: "It’s believed Walker suffered a groin strain that would mean he’d miss City’s remaining matches this season. If Walker is indeed injured for the rest of the campaign, that could afford Danilo a few more matches to impress."

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

            I am undecided about him, thinking of him, or Smalling or Cedric.

          2. JohnnyMagrinho
              8 years, 1 month ago

              Looking at the other premium attacking defenders, Danilo seems as a good a best as any.

              Trippier might play both DGW games but just as feasible is Aurier replacing him. Looks like Davies will be nailed as Rose is injured, but I'm not too sure on whether he's forecast to return anytime soon.

              Alonso/Emerson is a minefield too - Conte doesn't like to experiment too much and I'd be surprised if Alonso was completely omitted from the squad for this DGW.

              It seems that LB is much less certain than RB and if Walker is out it's very feasible for Danilo to slot in there. Hasn't Danilo even played LB at times for City this season too?

              I'd say Danilo is a good shout but Azpilicueta is 100% nailed for rest of season and I can't see any reason why Valencia wouldn't play the remaining games either. It just depends on your budget I guess.

            Is it worth bringing in Jesus?

            Vardy + Lowton/Morgan > Jesus + Vertonghen

            Should I do Barnes to Ayew for a hit, or play Morgan?

              Also Vardy + Lowton -> Jesus + Vert is a no brainer

                Just to let you know I've done it.
                Needed the 0.1 from Barnes to Ayew to bring in the other two!
