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

      Save ft for gw38?

      Robertson to Naughton?

      1. Expected Toulouse
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Yeah was thinking of that if Fernandez is out.

    40 points off top 10k atm.

    Team atm -

    DDG - Fabianski
    Vertonghen - Smalling - Naughton - Stephens - Dummett
    Sterling - Sane - Alli - Arnautovic - Ramsey
    Kane - Jesus - Ayew

    1 FT and 0m itb.

    BB in 37.

    Can I reach top 10 k?

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Tough I would say... Majority has BB or TC in top 10k and likely to use this week.

      Have to do something different for any chance

      1. pundit of punts
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Really?

        I thought close to 60% would be without any of those 2 chips in the top 10k. Any stats on that?

        1. Holmes
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          68% has used BB. 38% has used TC.

          1. pundit of punts
            • 13 Years
            7 years, 10 months ago

            Interesting.

            Expected TC to be higher.

    2. _Greg
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Yes you can! Worried about Ramsey? Maybe just get Zaha?

      1. pundit of punts
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Cheers.

        Just got Ramsey in on WC. I think they'll get knocked out of Europa by Atletico and play Arsene's final 3 games in charge for Arsenal. Atletico should be too good for Arsenal at home.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years

          thats likely to happen

        2. _Greg
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          I can see Arsenal going out too. Bookies certainly think so. The romantic in me is desperately praying they make it.

            as much respect ive lost for wenger in recent years, and as much bemusement ive had for them in europe for 25 years i do hope he gets this before he bows out

            1. _Greg
              • 15 Years
              7 years, 10 months ago

              That sol Campbell 'goal' in the 2006 final should have stood. Just like the Sol Campbell England goal that never was. Really want awesome to get the PSG job. Best thing about Wenger though has to be this cheap fireman outfit he used to be the model for!

                  What you mean Ronnie in 2002? Poor Seaman, he was just too old!

                    not the world cup, the cup winners cup or whatever the uefa cup used to be called. this would be mid 90s. the final i think. he just couldnt jump vertical!

                    1. _Greg
                      • 15 Years

                        thats it, the moment wenger came closest to european silverware. sad really

        3. Ghost Gooner
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          3 days between Arsenal's dgw37 fixtures after the EL. Final league game included makes it 3 games in 7 days and EL. No way Ramsey plays all pl games left

          1. pundit of punts
            • 13 Years
            7 years, 10 months ago

            What would he be rested for if they're out of EL?

            Moreover, he has had a lot of rest off late. Arsene would want to go out strong.

    3. Bggz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      will come down to whether sane plays/blanks, alli blanks and how many cs your def gets.

      1. pundit of punts
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Fingers crossed.

  3. michudagawd
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Good to go?

    -8 ... not sure yet on TC.

    De Gea
    VDH Morgan Vert
    Salah Sterling Son Arnie Lingard
    Jesus Kane

    Ryan - Barnes Duffy Lowton

    1. _Greg
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Good luck with Morgan, seems a weak link but probably not worth taking out!

      1. michudagawd
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Yeah I know, he'll probably only play one game.

  4. Holmes
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Lloris saving my gameweek, way to go vicey... 😀

    On serious note, is Davies looking likely to play both games in double?

    1. _Greg
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      I think Rose plays 1 personally.

      1. Holmes
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Is he back in training?

        1. _Greg
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          He is yeah.

          1. Holmes
            • 12 Years
            7 years, 10 months ago

            Argh, will have to find some other attacking defender

            1. _Greg
              • 15 Years
              7 years, 10 months ago

              Alonso back to smash! Azpi? Nothing better than Smelling n Vert sub 6m

  5. _Greg
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Good luck to everyone this week! Keep calm, don't go beyond -8 and have fun!

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Fun and below -8pts probably wont work together... 😛

      Lets unleash the beast! 😆

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Ohhh i’m way past -8, on a -12, only a -6 though innit, DGW and all that lark

      1. _Greg
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        If it's for City and Spurs players it's fine!

        1. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          It is 🙂 Gives me:

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

          Unsure whether to play Lingard ahead of Ayew but happy with it so far.

          1. _Greg
            • 15 Years
            7 years, 10 months ago

            I agree that it a very close call. Logic suggests Ayew as better chance of starting twice/high goal involvement.

            1. Salah’s Sonnet
              • 14 Years
              7 years, 10 months ago

              Yeah that’s the only thing that sways it for me, nailed for both games, and is on pens too.

  6. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Gtg? Or anything worthy of another hit? Currently: (-8), 1.4ITB, BB37

    DDG Ryan
    Smalling Robertson vdH Lowton Dummett
    Sterling Silva Son Arnie Zaha
    Kane Jesus JAyew

    Thanks!!

    1. _Greg
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Looks G2G

    2. GoonSquad
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Playing 4 or 5 mids? That looks like a selection headache.

      1. BRFC1883
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        He said he’s bench boosting I believe.

  7. Gobigorgohome
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Please help me decide

    A)Tom Carroll(bou,SOU)
    B)Barnes(ars)
    C) Barnes to Ayew(-4) and play him

    1. _Greg
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      B

    2. GoonSquad
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Going by your name you should look at -8 or -12....otherwise C or change your name here.

      1. Sahil Yadav
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        +1 😆

  8. Kanteisking
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Fernandinho as your 5th mid enabler. 2 goals and 2 bonus over the DGW. Thank me later

    1. _Greg
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Who should I captain?

      1. Kanteisking
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Fernandinho

        1. Bggz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          triple?

          1. La Roja
            • 14 Years
            7 years, 10 months ago

            Quadruple

        2. _Greg
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          I will put a bet on skybet. Does he score one in each game? Is it ever the first goal?

          1. Kanteisking
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 10 months ago

            Scores one in each yes. No third goal in one and second in the other. Also failed to mention he gets 1 clean sheet point also.

            1. Bggz
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 15 Years
              7 years, 10 months ago

              well im sold

  9. La Roja
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Anyway watched the game yesterday? Did Kane look good?

    1. Ghost Gooner
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Better than the previous games. Worth the tc chip gamble now

    2. Gobigorgohome
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Unfortunate not to get double digit

    3. Boberella
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      He missed a sitter (the rebound of the post from Vert’s header)
      He’d normally put that away blindfolded.
      I’m not convinced on his form and I’m TCing City. Probably Sterling. (Which means Kane will get double hattricks)

  10. Bggz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    pretty much set.

    ddg
    smalling - bednerek - dunk
    salah - son - erik - sterling - matic
    jesus - kane

    Mäenpää - barnes - lowton - roberts

    ccc on sterling as a differential ?

    1. Boberella
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Solid team.
      I’m doing TC Sterling. Not sure it’s such a differential though.

  11. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    I am triple captaining Sterling. Who else?

    1. _Greg
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      I can't argue with you. Although I will probably go Kane.

    2. La Roja
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Would he start both games? That’s the only concern. There is that slight chance of rotation

      1. _Greg
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        That's why Kane is the safe, dullard choice.

    3. noquarternt
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Very tempting. Him or Jesus for sure.

  12. J âš’ Gimme ur Mané
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Thoughts ?

    A) Sanchez, Sane, Ayew/austin

    B) Auba, Son, Willian +4

    1. AxeMinion
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      A

  13. Weeb Kakashi
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Hazard starts both dgw games?

    1. _Greg
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      It seems very like 95%. Conte won't be there next year anyway so can't see him worrying about it.

    2. noquarternt
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Hope so

  14. KeepCalm
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    I got both BB and TC left...which to use when

    Lloris Fabianski
    Klavan Chilwell Fernandez Masuaku Lejeune
    Sterling Gundogan Salah Zaha Caroll
    Auba Kane Jesus
    1FT

    1. La Roja
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Bb

    2. Ghost Gooner
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      If klavan starts bb but I'd go tc on Kane as anfield express won't confirm lineup this gw

      1. KeepCalm
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Cheers.

    3. Boberella
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      That front 3. Gold.
      Good enough to BB this week I reckon. As previously mentioned though, I’m not sure on a Klavan start, but shouldn’t matter too much.
      Good TC choices for 38 too.

  15. Weeb Kakashi
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Gundogan a nailed option?

  16. SuperMane Returns
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Currently 570K with BB37/TC38 to come....looking at 14 DGWers + Salah (for a -12) for DGW37 & TC Salah 38.
    How high could I realistically go in OR?

    1. Kanga roo
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      350k max.

    2. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      250k but I wouldn’t keep Salah for 37 and would sell him for Spurs or City mid, just get him for 38 with a free transfer

      1. SuperMane Returns
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Good shout re Salah, would have to keep 0.8m in reserve though as got Salah at 9.0m. Could deffo pay off though!

  17. Ruinenlust
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    My rank moved up by exactly 1 place

    1. Eze Really?
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Amazing! Points?

    2. Kloppen Schloppen
      • 8 Years

      Impressive only if you were sitting at #2 Overall

    3. Ghost Gooner

      😆 better than a drop I guess

  18. pundit of punts
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Are Leicester gonna score another goal this season?

    I don't really see it.

    ARS,WHM,tot coming up.

    1. Sailboats
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Why not? They’ll probably lose all 3 games but i can see them scoring against Arsenal and west ham

      1. pundit of punts
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        No desire.

      Swansea, Southampton and Huddersfield are fighting relegation. First team plays even if they're on wheelchairs.

      Last home game for City. Expect 1 change in the defense. Worst case scenario Dilva goes back to Spain again.

      Arsenal if out of EL would also go full strengh as their first XI have been missing league matches for Europa anyway and shouldn't be that tired. Arsene would like to see some strong performances as well.

      Chelsea could see some rotation with FA final cup around the corner and Huddersfield could well be a meaningless game for them with top 4 out of reach.

      Moral of the story - DGW 37 rotation worries could very well turn out to be highly overrated.

        Arsene will rotate (see Man U game)

        Sou will rotate upfront and Bednarek/Stephens

        Pep will also rotate. Danilo Mendy Bilva Gundo Laporte Zivchenko and Toure will all get a game or cameo (Sterling tc a no go)

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

    0ft, 0.8m in bank
    These moves worth it for a -12?
    1. Morgan-> Bednarek.
    2. Barnes-> Perez.
    3. Vardy-> Jesus .

      Actually, I would prob sell Lowton instead of Morgan cos of 2 fixtures v 1.

    Level on points with ML rival but he has BB left (I have no chips) and he has Sterling, Eriksen, KDB & Jesus as good differentials.

    Best move here? I’m thinking I’ll need to avoid hits and keep some differentials given his BB advantage. Anything better than just Salah -> Sterling?

    DDG
    Bavies, Smalling, Chilwell
    Salah, Son, D Silva, Willian, Gross
    Kane*, Vardy

    Ryan, Barnes, Tarkowski, Lowton*
    Bank 0.0m, 1FT
    * players in common

    1. Jinswick
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      *he also has Salah

    2. Bggz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      yeah no hits and youve got such different teams it'll come down to luck really.

    3. Jinswick
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Or perhaps Barnes -> J Ayew and bench Salah?

      Lose Salah and you won't be able to work him back in for GW38

      Barnes > J. Ayew a possible option instead

        7 years, 10 months ago

        Cheers. Who would you bench this week if doing that? Salah (che) or Gross (MUN, mcy)

    Climbed 700k since GW29 (950k to 250k) so have to be happy with that I guess! Poor season but the second half has been decent. I was 1.7m at the half way stage!
    A bit of luck with BB and hopefully will finish strong 🙂
    Here's how it's looking:
    Lloris / Fabianski
    Smalling / Maguire / Lascelles / Naughton / Yedlin
    Eriksen / Sterling / Sane / Arnie / Mili
    Kane(C) / Jesus / Ayew

    There's so many players i want to get rid of this GW and I'm so confused.

    DDG
    Smalling Morgan* Dunk*
    Salah Sterling Groß* Son* Willian*
    Kane Vardy*

    Subs : Ryan Barnes Lowton Long

    1 FT 0.6 itb

    Which one (or two) should go first
    A) Bring Jesus in for Vardy (-4)
    B) Forget Jesus, Play Vardy, Fix Willian / Groß / Son

    1. Wonderful Wizard Hazard
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      A for me.

  30. Wonderful Wizard Hazard
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Pope
    Lowton Robertson Chilwell
    Salah Sterling Silva Willian
    Auba Jesus Vardy

    I want Kane, which one do I go with?

    A) Auba / Silva -> Kane / Pogba
    B) Vardy / Salah -> Kane / Pogba

    Would like to keep Salah for GW38. However not sure if Silva will get much time.
