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

    Raise money by trading Salah it Alonso?

    1. JasonG123
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      *Salah or Alonso?

      1. J T
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Both

      2. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Similar conundrum. Think max Salah can get this week is 7 points i reckon. Looking to ship him for arnie

    2. jia you
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Both not worth their price tags for DGW37 imo!

    Need to drop two singles for dgw-ers. Which two?
    A) Robertson > Mawson
    B) Lowton > vdH
    C) Gudmundsson > Kenedy
    D) Mili > Fernandinho
    E) Barnes > JAyew
    F) Salah > Sterling

    1. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      E and F

    2. jia you
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Three, A, E & F

      1. jia you
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        a -8 doesn't seem too drastic in a DGW?

        1. jdp219
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          No, I don't suppose so. I'll be using the TC, too.

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

          But also happen to be in a H2H league, where the hits take more of a toll.

    Surely if you're chasing in ML Salah goes this week?

    1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…

      Yup

    2. BIG TONES

      Or find other differentials

  4. Slitherene

    Bottomed!

    A) Tadic + Rudiger
    B) Willian + Cresswell

    Help!

    Team for this gw is

    Ddg
    Smalling cedric chilwell
    Salah sterling son arnie
    Jesus Kane JAyew

    Elliott Carroll tompkins mbemba

    Salah out?
    Who to TC?

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

      Salah out, KdB in?

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

        i would keep. Salah has a high chance of outscoring a lot of the players with a DGW, and you also want him in GW 38.

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

          If KdB plays 3, and Salah plays 2 (including a Chelsea fixture). I'm leaning towards the former outscoring the latter.

    2. jia you
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Yes
      Kane, Jesus, Sterling would be my order.

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

    Christensen + Morgan -> Vert + Laporte

    For -8, yes or no?
    Or just Christensen -> Vert?
    Ta

    1. J T
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I wouldn’t take a hit for Laporte, he could easily be benched

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

        Danilo more nailed then Laporte, right?

    2. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Danilo over Laporte if Walker out

  7. J T
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    How many DGW players has everyone got? & how many hits have you taken to get there? Cheers

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

      15, on a WC 🙂

      1. J T
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Nice, sat on that for a while then!

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

          Was* on a WC, BB this GW.

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

        Doesn't make any sense WC in dgw37 and having 15 players. U ll have to bench 4 players. U should have WC in 36 and BB in 37.

    2. olidooley

      11...no hits....Triple cap

    3. jia you

      14
      -28 over three weeks, getting rid of Alonso, Mahrez, Sanchez, Quaner, Robertson, Hazard, Auba, Lowton, Barnes & Mariappa in the process 🙂

    4. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      14, no hits

    5. Regin

      11 with 1 hit.

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

    Which one?
    A) Lukaku + Son to Jesus + KDB(-4)
    B) Lukaku + Willian to Jesus + Sane(-4)
    C) Lukaku + Morgan to Jesus + Smalling(-4)

    A and B would mean to play Lowton in the defence

    5. jia you
      • 9 Years

      Firmly in the A camp

    6. BIG TONES
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      As a Mahrez owner I'm holding tight.

      It's A or B from those options though.

      Arnie is a good shout. It's good to have attacking players from desperate teams at this stage of season.

    7. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Thanks mates... leaning Sane then

  12. Positive vibes

    Is Cahill nailed now?

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

      No, might be rested. Christensen comes in imo.

      Rudiger looks more nailed.

  13. VardysParty
    • 8 Years

    Who to go for for the double:

    A) Mawson
    B) Cédric

    D. Lowton
    Thanks.

    1. Norman Conquest

  15. Rash
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    (K)ane & my son didn't really do the business last night. 62 behind leader with both TC to play. I have 3 city 2 spurs him currently no city and just Kane..

    Do I need a miracle?

    1. jia you
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Need a bit of luck for sure but both City and Spurs could go very big in 37, hope there at least 😉

    2. BIG TONES
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      You need to go a different TC to him and hope for something big. Maybe Sterling or Jesus if he is likely to go Kane?

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

      you will have to TC someone other than kane and get a big sofa to hide behind

    4. Jigger & Pony
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      You could do it. TC Jesus?

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

      Tc currently on sterling. Kane did not convince me last night l. Even if he should have had 3 goals last night..

      Thanks

  16. BIG TONES
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Is Laporte likely to keep his place in the City team with Walker and Kompany both doubts?

    Also interested to know what chance Danilo will have if Walker doesn't play.

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

      If stones is also put then there's a good chance

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

        Out*

    2. jia you
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Stone coming back in for WC preparation so Laporte might miss a game.

  17. Gianfranco Zola
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Why doesn't FPL take into account hits taken in the first GW of a month in their monthly standings?

  18. Jigger & Pony
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Would you do the following for -8?

    Out: Otamendi, Milivojevic, Vardy
    In: Davies, Sterling, JAyew

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

      Good moves imo

    2. jia you
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Wowsers, high risk moves! But going without Sterling is also high risk, Have to say no though!

      1. Jigger & Pony
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Other way to get Sterling is to do Sane > Sterling and keep Otamendi. Is that better?

        1. jia you
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          too sideways imo, although Sterling looks the better option, there's a chance that Sane outscores Raheem.

    3. Phil's Stamps
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Vert instead of Davies if you can afford it

  19. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Any moves for hit required? Thinking perhaps Kompany to Vertonghen ?

    DDG
    Kompany Smalling Mustafi
    Salah Sterling Son Zaha
    Kane (TC) Jesus JAyew

    Ryan Morgan Gudmundsson Lowton

    1. Jigger & Pony
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Nah gtg

    2. Phil's Stamps
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I just binned Kompany for Vert on my WC. Vert will play all 3 remaining games and has a great final fixture. Kompany? 1 game, 2? None? Who knows?

  20. SpaceCadet
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Best differential TC for the dgw? Even considering Austin

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

      Sterling/Jesus

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

        High ownership. Not much of a differential even with tc.

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

      KDB!

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

        Have it on him so far, thanks

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

          Also any Utd players

    3. Oven Glover
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Andre Ayew

    4. Jigger & Pony
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Jesus

    5. jia you
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Fabianski or Mike Smalling are two that come to mind that look serious differential captains but you'd need a big pair of cojones to go there 😉

    6. BIG TONES
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Will Austin even start? He's been off the bench recently

    7. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Arnie

    8. J T
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Ddg

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

      Auba , Arsenal could put Burnley to the sword in Wenger's last game at the Emirates , then a shambolic Leicester afterwards , i could easily see him getting 4 goals from them 2 games

  21. ionic
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Alonso, Mahrez, Willian, Murray, Auba

    2 FT and 0.1 ITB which players would you bail on and who for?

    I could do Mahrez and Auba for Sterling and Jesus? Or Alonso and Auba for the same.

    Or ignore city and bring in Rashford or Ayew.

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

      I would do the mahrez and auba alternative. Good luck.

  22. Humlesnurr
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Many people are mentioning Arny for a hit before DGW. Is there no love for Zaha? His form is incredible and his 2 fixtures truly are tempting?

    1. jia you
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      many of us have Mili so no room for Wilf

    2. Sailboats
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Hes a SGW player

    3. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Sgw and CPL are now safe

    4. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I have Zaha and definitely keeping

    5. Get up ya bum
      • 16 Years

      These people hate points

    6. AxeMinion
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I'm def keeping Zaha

    7. BIG TONES
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Don't think WBA is as easy of a fixture since Moore has come in.

    8. Phil's Stamps
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Arnie also has a great final day fixture

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

      Many good points! But i truly think Zaha can outscore any even if he has one more fixture. The only question is who to bring in for willian.

  23. Arceus
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    TC Jesus or Kane?

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

      Jesus if chasing, otherwise Kane

    2. AxeMinion
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I've gone for Jesus

    3. BIG TONES
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Kane for safety, Jesus if chasing.

    4. jia you
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      49-51% in my little head atm in favour of Harry

  24. AxeMinion
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Ok folks I need help. Hopefully this is a fun choice:

    Opt 1 - Fabianki + Mawson + KDB
    Opt 2 - Fabianki + Valencia + Silva
    Opt 3 - DDG or Fabianki + Otamendi + Pogba

          With DDG or Fab?

          Silva might end up playing both.

            I’d rather have someone who’s in country.. without personnel issues and nothing to play for, if I had the choice.

    Worth getting both Austin and Christensen for -8 hits?

      Getting out^

      Is Austin a starter now?

      Austin looks like a nice differential to have, why get rid especially for a hit?

      Hits are different this week if they're trading for SGW players, but I'm not so sure on those two myself

    BB'ing but concerns over lots of players.
    DDG, Fabianski.
    Lowton, Morgan, Vertonghen, Naughton, Fernandez.
    Sterling, Son, Willian, Salah, Gross.
    Kane, Barnes, Vardy.

    0ft, 0.8m in bank
    1. Salah-> KDB (-4).
    2. Salah-> KDB (-4) + Further hits elswhere.
    3. Vardy-> Jesus + Willian-> Tadic (-8)

      You have Morgan (1 point likely) also 🙁

    108 points worth of hit this season, can anyone top that?
    I actually took more hits last season and finished top 5k, be lucky to get 200k this season!
