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.

    Barnes to J Ayew worth a -4?

    1. oscarhs
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Toughie.. considering the same move

    2. JohnnyMagrinho
      8 years, 3 months ago

      100%

      You have to assume J. Ayew will score more points than Barnes in his two games compared to his outing at Arsenal.

      If that doesn't happen then it's unlucky.

      It wouldn't surprise me if this happened:

      Barnes (2)
      J. Ayew (2,6)
      That would net you a mighty couple of points, but the potential is there for more reward.

      Depends how much you like to change things up and play the odds. It'll probably make it more fun too - I like watching on with baited breath at the possibility of a windfall of points on a punt, only to slump in a heap of defeat after realising all I've done is deny myself of more points yet again. But hey, that's just me.

      1. John78
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Thanks. yeah, will probably go for it

  2. Messsiaah
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Smalling or Jones?

    1. barracuda
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      or Danilo or Cedric..Decisions...

    2. Balls of Steel
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Smalling

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

      Smalling, Man Utd most likely to keep clean sheets I think

      1. barracuda
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Will he not be rested? Rojo, Smalling, Bailly, Lindelof and Jones are all available according to FPL

        1. Messsiaah
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          I think Smalling is pretty nailed

          1. barracuda
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 3 months ago

            Lurking in the box as well.

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

    Play 1 this week
    A) Morgan
    B) T. Carroll

    1. Balls of Steel
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Both probably score 3 or 4 points... Think TC poses a little bit more points return

      1. oscarhs
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Alternatively I could go Barnes -> J. Ayew (-4) and play Ayew

        1. Balls of Steel
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          Yes much better option

  4. Balls of Steel
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Is Willian and Gross to Sterling and RLC worth a - 8?

    1. oscarhs
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Not worth -8, maybe worth -4

  5. IRBOX ⚽
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    What was up with Mustafi not playing? Dropped or rested?

    1. barracuda
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Rested plus being shite.

      1. El Lobito 10
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        He is crap isn't he

        1. barracuda
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          He is too short to be effective in PL for start.

  6. Salah’s Sonnet
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Right, that's me, all hitted out. Around 38 points behind rival (including my hits taken to get my team now). Reckon there may be a glimmer of hope catching him?

    My team:

    DDG
    Yedlin - Azpi - Smalling
    Sane - Eriksen - Lingard - Son - Sterling
    Jesus - Kane
    ________________________________
    Nordfelt: J.Ayew, Morgan, Lowton

    His team:

    DDG
    Lascalles - Chilwell - Smalling
    Salah - Sterling - Milovojevic - Mooy
    Kane - Jesus - Vardy
    ______________________________
    Hart: Stephens, Naughton, Fernandez

    Thoughts?

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Oh, i'll be using TC chip, pretty sure he will do as well, just depends who.

      1. barracuda
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        You have got a better midfield

        1. barracuda
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          and defenders. Doable

        2. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          Yeah definitely agreed, just hope it does the business! 🙂

    2. barracuda
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Was down by 35 last week, down by 6 this week. I think it is doable.

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Wow! Well played man! Yeah, i'm quietly confident of catching him, just his luck has been immense this season.

        1. barracuda
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          My rival has had incredible C picks, otherwise not much in it.

          1. Salah’s Sonnet
            • 15 Years
            8 years, 3 months ago

            Similar story here, but he generally follows the herd, i don't think he will cap Jesus like i may be doing

      2. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        he has BB chip left as well, so no idea if he'll BB this gw or TC

        1. barracuda
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          you don't have any chips left?

          1. Salah’s Sonnet
            • 15 Years
            8 years, 3 months ago

            yeah just TC left, he has TC and BB

    3. All Bäcks
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Definitely. I would be tempted to play J.Ayew over Lingard.

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Thanks man, that's actually not a bad idea playing Ayew over jlingz

        1. barracuda
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          Yeah, Ayew. on penos too

          1. Salah’s Sonnet
            • 15 Years
            8 years, 3 months ago

            True! I'm gonna do that i reckon, dunno why i didn't consider it haha!

  7. Cok3y5murf
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    GW37 team looks so template and boring.

    Only differential is going to be the captain since it's pretty split now.

    1. barracuda
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Who is your C?

      1. Cok3y5murf
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Probably Jesus. TC.

        1. barracuda
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          Not bad.

    2. Tiki-Taka
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      I'm keeping Mahrez to see his 30 pt DGW (15 + 15, 2 goals in each) and laugh in the face of sellers

      1. Cok3y5murf
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        If Mahrez can get 30, Sterling would get 60 😛

        1. barracuda
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          Cheese, you were 25k in GW7, what happened?

          1. Cok3y5murf
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 3 months ago

            GW11. I know, don't remind me. Was ahead of most here at the time.

            Everything went downhill after I wildcarded in GW10. Lots of captain fails for me since then. That was the main reason.

  8. Nightf0x
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Kaku to ?

    A) vardy
    B) jesus
    C) j ayew

    1. Balls of Steel
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      B sure for a punt!

    2. oscarhs
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Jesus no question

  9. El Lobito 10
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Transfer out Willian and Silva? To whom?

    1. oscarhs
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Arnie and Sane

      1. El Lobito 10
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Cheers but no chance

  10. Pilgrim62
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    What you guys think, will Ederson play both games, or Pep will give one to Bravo?

    1. oscarhs
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Ederson will play both

  11. Messsiaah
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Salah to Sane a no brainer?

    1. Lilac Breasted Roller
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Don't really think so, although contemplated of doing the same. Salah capable of making points v chelsea, and you want him back for GW 38

    2. oscarhs
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Yes

    3. Four Letter Wirtz
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      In isolation, Salah to Sane looks good for a gain of maybe 4 points. The problem is that you'll be tempted to reverse the transfer for GW38. So it's essentially 4pts for 2FT.

      The alternative is spending the 2FT on lesser players. In my case, one FT will go on buying a Swansea DGW defender. I think there are more points per FT there.

  12. Nigawan
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Which combo fits the best for BB this week?

    a) Silva, jesus and Aubameyang IN for Willian , Vardy and lukaku OUT (-8)
    b) aubameyang , walker IN , Lukaku and Schelotto out (-4)

    current team: BB active
    De Gea, McCarthy
    Christensen, Dummett, Vertonghen,Morgan, Schelotto
    Kenedy, Sterling, Son, Willian, Willian
    Kane, Vardy, Lukaku

    1. Pilgrim62
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Double Willian?

    2. oscarhs
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      a)

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

      sorry .. is KING . not willian wilian haha

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

      A

  13. oscarhs
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Chasing 10pt ML lead

    My team: Triple City Attack, Kane, Son, Davies
    His team: No City (yet), Kane, Son, Vert

    I have TC chip, he doesn't

    Who is the best captain?
    I feel like TC Kane isn't the greatest because he could negate by simply captaining him
    Learning towards Jesus or Sterling TC

    Thoughts?

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

      All depends on his transfers - he’d be a fool to not transfer in some City cover for the DGW.

      So, if you think he will definitely captain Kane, then you TCing Kane could make your 10 points back. (Kane scores 10 points: him = 20, you = 30)

      Personally I’d TC Jesus or Sterling.

      1. oscarhs
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Good point, thanks!!

  14. BIGREDDOG
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Worth waiting on pressers to make transfers?

    1. oscarhs
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Always a good idea, depending on price rises of course

    2. Bees4Lyf
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      At this stage of the season any information is great help

  15. IRBOX ⚽
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Just did Alli and Barnes to Sterling and Ayew for a (-4). Ayew will play instead of Kenedy. Good moves? Have Son and Kane

    1. oscarhs
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Quality moves

    2. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Is Ayew still a possible ban or ok. I ask cause I got him yesterday for a hit and then someone mentioned it on here.

  16. Sz21
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Considering that DGW's flatter to deceive and also surprise more than they provide amazing opportunities~
    I am thinking just a couple of changes below are all that is needed.

    Going to be BB'ing. There are about 7 players (*) I want to change in reality but thinking 2 max is all I need.

    Which players would you prioritise to get rid of here and which replacements would u be considering?

    DDG, Fabianski.
    *Lowton, *Morgan, Vertonghen, Naughton, *Fernandez.
    Sterling, Son, *Willian, Salah, *Gross.
    Kane, *Barnes, *Vardy.

    0ft, 0.8m in bank.

    1. oscarhs
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Vardy Willian Lowton would be my priority
      Look at Jesus, Arnie, Lingard, Cedric, Dummet etc.

    2. oscarhs
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      No City is a worry

  17. No Name to Display
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Hi guys.. Andre Ayew or Ki for DGWK?

    1. oscarhs
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Ayew

  18. Messsiaah
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Vardy or Ayew?
    Who's gonna score more points?

    1. oscarhs
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Probably Vardy, if by some miracle Lei start showing up, you can be pretty sure Vardy will be involved in the goals

    2. Pilgrim62
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      V

  19. El Lobito 10
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    People selling Salah because it's Chelsea. Chelsea are poor in defence, Salah scores for fun and he might just want to make them look foolish for selling him. If it were a single gameweek he would be my captain. Nevertheless, he can still outscore most doublers with one game.

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      true, but chasing, and worth the risk

  20. Siva Mohan
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    43 points and dropped 3K ranks.. I was fearing for the worst with Salah(c) and no city assets.

    A. sell Mahrez or Salah for Sterling?
    B. keeping Vardy .. out of my mind?

    1. oscarhs
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Mahrez -> Sterling

  21. Pierce34
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Well, got a GW rank of 5.1 million for what was officially my worst gameweek ever - a record I've now broken at least three times this season. Can't wait for DGW37 to make up some ground - and by making up ground I mean having a massive TC fail and watching my players almost score goals and narrowly miss out on clean sheets 😛

    1. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      You can a 5.4 mil rank just gotta try harder 🙂

      1. Pierce34
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Haha, not having any City players did it this week - let's see what I'll have in stock next!

        Was still annoying having my Spurs players underperform though - I seriously expected Son to at least match, if not better Eriksen and Alli, Vertonghen to match Lloris etc.

        1. Albrightondknight
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          Swings and roundabouts
          Bouncing between 50k and 100k and can't kick on these weeks are meant to be when we gain 🙂

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

    Izquiredo > Tadic worth a -4?

  23. 824545201
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Best Willian replacement? 7m budget.

    1. El Lobito 10
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Arnie? Rambo would be good if it weren't for the EL

    2. Expected Toulouse
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Arnautovic, or Ramsey if Arsenal get knocked out of Europa League. Zaha worth considering too but no double game week.

  24. Kiwivillan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Astonishingly only 22pts behind leader in cash league with him having Zaha Sterling Alli pods and Kane C over me just Kane. I have Salah differential and TC adv

    TC this DGW on Kane as planned? Also sell Silva(rival has) to Sterling? Keep and play Alonso?

  25. Old Wulfrunian
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Lukaku is official out for the game against Brighton?

  26. El Lobito 10
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    A. Sell Silva
    B. Keep Silva
    C. Go to sleep because it's 2am

    1. Pooodle
      • 17 Years

      C for today at least.

    • 14 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Bench boosting this week. 1FT, 1.6m in bank, any advice on what to do?

    Team is...

    DDG Dubravka

    Mustafi Dummett Morgan Cedric Lowton

    Salah Son Sterling Zaha Kenedy

    Jesus Kane Barnes

    Thinking of doing Barnes and Lowton to JAyew and Davies for -4, does that make sense? Will Davies play both games, or am I better off with Company, Laporte or Vertonghen? Thanks!

    1. Siva Mohan
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Vert

      1. Ostrich Baby
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Vert is the safe option I guess, but losing the prospect of attacking points too is the trade off.

        1. Siva Mohan
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          6 is better than 0/1 at this stage .. If you could, wait for MPs presser

  28. LIARS POKER
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Morgan -> Smalling/Danilo worth a -4?

    Have DDG but rival has Smalling so unless I get Smalling will be praying for United to concede

    1. Siva Mohan
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Danilo .. is he nailed with a 75% Walker?

  29. TO19
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Leading ML by 43. Will TC this week. Rival will BB.

    My squad:
    De Gea (Ryan),
    Morgan Smalling Duffy (Robertson) (Lowton)
    Alli Son Willian Gudmundsson Salah
    Kane Jesus (Barnes)

    Worth it to go Salah > Sterling this week (and then Alli > Salah next)?

    1. Siva Mohan
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      I would
