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

    Which moves worth the hit?

    a) Salah+Gross to Sterling+B.Silva -4.
    b) Salah+Willian to Sterl+Sane -4.
    c) Salah+Willian+Gross to Sterl+Sane+Fernandinho -8.

    Thanks .

      Do you have a plan to get Salah back for 38? Could be a goal storm that game

    Possibly the most mundane team advice request that'll be on the website this week.

    I have 0.2m to upgrade Klavan to a DGWer for my bench boost. I already have a Newcastle defender so I'm looking at West Ham.

    A. Masuaku (even though he didn't start in GW36), or
    B. Ogbonna (even though he has limited attacking potential)?

    1. Up the tics
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      The one that's nailed

    2. BIG TONES
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      West Ham will keep no CS. Keep that in mind

      1. Zareos
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Agreed but in the price bracket WH are the only DGW team I can afford without doubling up on Newcastle.

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

      You can try Bednarek instead 😮

      Out of those, I would go for Ogbonna

    4. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      B as he’s nailed

    5. Humlesnurr
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      But would you get Lejeune/Dummett over WHU if you had no newcastle in your squad?

      1. Zareos
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Ideal scenario (in the budget defender market) would be bringing in a Swansea defender but none are 4.3m or less and nailed.

  3. ajones1608

    Any news on Walker injury?

  4. NATSTER
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    I’m chasing but I think the chance has gone. Currently 5th in mini-league with 116 points behind 1st and 88 points behind 2nd.

    Standing outside 500k now and hope to finish as high as I can. Plan 2FT for : Salah + Tarkow -> Eriksen + Smalling

    *DDG
    *Simpson - *Smalling - Mariappa (Lowton, Long)
    *Eriksen - *Son - *Sterling - *Sane
    *Kane - *Jesus - *Vardy

    Is it worth -4 hits for one more DGW DF : Lowton -> Mawson ?

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

      A) Sane + Masuaku (-4)
      B) Tadic + Azpilicueta (-4)
      C) Pogba + Danilo (-4)
      D) Pogba + Cresswell (-4)
      E) Lingard + Alonso (-4)
      F) Dilva + Cresswell

      Which one seems the most logical transfer?

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

        Sorry, typed in the wrong chat box.

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

          I feel you should max City, especially their attacks.

          Only A or F for me.

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

      No, not worth an additional - 4.

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

      Yes worth it
      Go for it. The season is ending, have some fun

      1. arndff_
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        I like him but not his fixtures... (lei MUN EVE).

        Do you think he'll deliver many points?

        1. Red Dagger ✪
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          No. I don't think Arnie is a good idea at all with those fixtures,

          1. arndff_
            • 14 Years
            7 years, 10 months ago

            Me too... What would you choose here: A/B/C?

            1. subhojit123
              • 8 Years
              7 years, 10 months ago

              C with ramsey or lingard may b?

              1. arndff_
                • 14 Years
                7 years, 10 months ago

                Lingard... meh!

                Ramsey could be a great option if Arsenal won't overcome Atletico.

                Thanks!

                  • 9 Years
                  7 years, 10 months ago

                  There is absolutely no way Arsenal wins the return leg.

                  1. arndff_
                    • 14 Years
                    7 years, 10 months ago

                    Go bet some money, mister.

                    1. subhojit123
                      • 8 Years
                      7 years, 10 months ago

                      How about KDB as differential? I am asking this in general... You think he's gonna start both?

                      1. arndff_
                        • 14 Years
                        7 years, 10 months ago

                        He's one of their most nailed on players. I'd say yes.

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

      Mahrez & Morgan to Sane & Mawson

      1. arndff_
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Mate, have you attended any math classes? 😛

        Morgan, Mahrez > 4.5M, Sane

        So I'm a bit short of getting Mawson. 🙁

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

          VDH 😉

          1. arndff_
            • 14 Years
            7 years, 10 months ago

            Thanks!

            You don't think that J Ayew costs -4, right?

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

              Will he outscore Barnes by 4 points ? Wood is flagged too btw
              ... not sure really but Ayew could do well and I have seen double digit hauls on my bench from him

              -4 as an enabler to make a transfer work yes, but -4 on its own ... not sure

    3. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      B for me mate!

      Little help with my question too if you can below.

      1. arndff_
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Thanks!

        Sure. 🙂

    4. Dynamomi
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      I like C because I think Swansea defence may not do as well as people seem to expect - Saints have to go for it. You’ve got to hope Willian plays twice in 37 though.

      Otherwise B. Triple Spurs attack against Leicester on the last day could be party time.

      1. arndff_
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Willian. Why?

        I ditched him just before GW36.

        1. Dynamomi
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          You’d rather risk getting Bernardo? Not taken by any of the other options at that price. If you’ve ditched Willian, don’t go back.

  6. Eric Banternaaa
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Bottomed. 37 points behind. I have TC he’s used all chips. My team:

    De Gea*
    Cedric Christiansen Chilwell* Monreal
    Sterling* DSilva* Lingard Salah*
    Lukaku Kane

    *stands for opponent has in team

    Thoughts on: Lukaku, Salah, Christ > Jesus, Alli, Alonso (-4)

    1. Red Dagger ✪
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      good but Bavies not Alonzo

      1. Eric Banternaaa
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        He has Davies.

        1. Red Dagger ✪
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          then Alonzo I guess. Or Smalling perhaps?

          1. Red Dagger ✪
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 10 months ago

            Or Valencia.

    2. BIG TONES
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      I would do it, but someone else different to Alonso. Dont rate him or Chelsea defence lately.

      If you get TC right, you could catch up.

      1. Eric Banternaaa
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Who would you suggest. He has Davies, Alonso the only defender I can see getting a haul and they’ve had 2 CS last 2 games.

        1. Get up ya bum
          • 16 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          I'm bringing Alonso in too. Great pick. If you want an alternative there is Valencia and Azpi and Vertonghen

  7. Slitherene
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    A) Sane + Masuaku (-4)
    B) Tadic + Azpilicueta (-4)
    C) Pogba + Danilo (-4)
    D) Pogba + Cresswell (-4)
    E) Lingard + Alonso (-4)
    F) Dilva + Cresswell

    Which one seems the most logical transfer?

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

      F
      But keep track of any news on Silva
      If he is likely to miss out then A

      1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        This

  8. Legohair
    • 9 Years

    Salah to Eriksen worth to take hit next dgw???

    1. Red Dagger ✪
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      yes

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

      Good chance that you will recover the hits plus profit.

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

      Alright thanks,i might do that by the end of the week.

    4. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Yea

    5. Legohair
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Damn i just realise i already got 3 spurs(vert,son,kane) so i cant do that move.Salah to KDB worth to -8???

  9. SomeoneKnows
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    What do you guys think of "blocking" players as a game strategy?

    I'm currently leading my ML by 52 points, and my 2nd place chaser has both Eriksen + Alli while I have Son, which I believe to be at rotation risk and in worse form.

    Would you take a -8 hit in order to do Mahrez + Son > Eriksen + Sane ?

    1. Red Dagger ✪
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      In your case yes. Blocking is the way to go to close out a ML.

    2. SomeoneKnows
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      If I do this then aside from Eriksen, our teams would both have Jesus, Sterling, Cork, 1 Spurs Defender, 1 Chelsea Defender...

      Another alternative is Mahrez > De Bruyne for -4 points

    3. GOTHAM City F.C.
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      You've pretty good lead to take couple of hits to block him. Only risk is if he decides to pick differentials for one last boost.

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

        Cheers, so I guess the main question now is who should come in instead of Mahrez?

        Are there better options to Sane that are perhaps less prone to rotation?

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

    Is it worth taking a hit for Kane these days with his form? Have Son and Davies as Spurs cover for dgw. Also want a City mid but have Jesus already.

    a) Mahrez and Barnes for King and Kane (-4)
    b) Vardy and Salah for Kane and Silva/Sane? (-4)
    c) Lingard/Willian for Sterling

    1. GOTHAM City F.C.
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      C for sure.

      Using TC?

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

        Ta. Unfortunately already used.

        1. GOTHAM City F.C.
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          How about Mahrez + Salah to Sterling + Sané

          I just feel city mids are more essential than Kane in current form.

          1. GOTHAM City F.C.
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 10 months ago

            Sorry I meant Lingard+ Salah out

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

              Interesting suggestion. I am chasing 30 points behind leader who will surely go Kane TC. Shot or bust

  11. Cocky Spaniel Alves
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    So I’m 31 points behind my rival in my cash league.

    Our squads are very similar with only a couple of exceptions.

    Me:
    DDG Ryan
    Alonso *Bailly* Morgan Tark Lowton
    Son Alli Willian *Mahrez* *Gud*
    Kane Vardy *Murray*

    Him:
    DDG Ryan
    *Azpi* *Christ* Morgan Tark Lowton
    Son Alli Willian *Sterling* *Groß*
    Kane Vardy *Barnes*

    Thing is I’ve got two free transfers and he has only one. I also have my triple captain left, whereas he’s used his.

    Should I just try to get maximum points or go all out for differentials, i.e. get someone like Jesus in for a hit and captain him?

    E.g. Bailly/Son/Vardy > VDH/Dilva/Jesus (tc)

    Don’t feel too hopeful of catching him to be honest cos’ our teams are so similar.

    Comments / suggestions welcome!

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

      With TC and 2 FT, I think you can hope.

      Murray -> Jesus
      Mahrez -> Sterling
      Bailly -> how much money remain?

  12. GOTHAM City F.C.
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Willian, Barnes ➡ Eriksen, Mounie (-4)?

    The rest of the attack:
    Sterling, Salah, Sané, Lingard
    Kane, Jesus

    I'll bench Mounie.

  13. Reckoner.
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Pope > Fabianski for a FT?

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

    Vardy > Rashford worth a hit when chasing 44 points in mini league.
    Guy in 1st has vardy

      • 12 Years

    2. Positive vibes

      No, maybe upgrade to GJesus? Of you cant, find different mid than.his.

        Thanks, would you rather have Pogba or Arnautovic?

        1. Positive vibes
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          Pogba imo. Please help me below.

          1. Blame It On Rio-ddermorten

            Cheers.

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

      Yes and Pogba

    3. Red Dagger ✪
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Yes Pogba.

  16. timPgoodwin
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Lingard or Gundogan for GW37?, using bench boost.

  17. Powell
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Any chance Davies plays both in the double?... or is Rose back imminently?

    1. Red Dagger ✪
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Rose is done I think.

    2. Pinky Blinders
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Davies is first choice. With no other competitions to worry about, and league position still up in the air, I don’t see why Rose would be a factor in Poch’s decision making.

  18. Positive vibes
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Hi, which is better options?
    A. Vert, Salah, Willian (-4)
    B. Azpi, Eriksen, Willian (-8)
    C. Bednarek, Salah, Eriksen (-8)

    Thanks.

    1. GOTHAM City F.C.
      • 8 Years

    Rival will TC Jesus, I'm on BB. Do I cover Jesus or go Kane? Kane should have had 2/3 last night IMO.....

    Views on this?

    A) Sanchez, Sane, Ayew/austin

    B) Auba, Son, Willian +4

      I'd say B) but honestly, don't like any of those 2 options. :/

    All out Man City.

    -8 hit for Salah + Vardy + Tarkowski ---> Sterling + Jesus + Laporte worth it?

    1. Positive vibes
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      No, Laporte not nailed imo

    2. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 10 Years

      Just get their attackers

      1. Pieterke30
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        If Walker is confirmed out for both games, Id rather have Danilo than one of the Silvas for instance. 2 CS is very likely over 37 as both HUD and BHA will go there hoping to scrap a 0-0 with 11 men behind the ball all game.

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

          Pep might play 3 at the back or slot Fernandinho in at left back 😉

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

            *Right back

            1. DJ87
              • 7 Years
              7 years, 10 months ago

              In that case who do you suggest as the 3rd attacker from City?
              Sane or D.Silva?

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

                Sane

          2. Pieterke30
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 10 months ago

            I think Danilo deserves some games, and I think Guardiola knows it too.

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

              You are probably right but why gamble your precious 3rd City slot on a defender that may not play ?

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

      not really sure about Laporte.

    4. VardysParty
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Yes

    5. DJ87
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Any better options in defence?
      Budget 6.2.

      Right now:

      DDG
      Vertonghen Morgan Bong (Tarkowski Lowton)

  22. Jafooli

    Kane look okay last night for TC in DGW37?

    1. VardysParty
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Rather average

      1. Jafooli
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        But looked for enough? Or still like he’s carrying a knock/niggle?

    2. pakornk
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      a lot of slips and mistouches.

      1. Jafooli
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Ah, not sounding great tbh....

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

      He looked like he was running in treacle.

      1. Jafooli
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Perhaps getting his crapness out his system before big DGW?

    4. Pigsinblankets
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Looked like 1 maybe 2 goals over both games from yesterday. But it's Kane, his earlier hattricks were a tad flukey

      1. Jafooli
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        True....

  23. VardysParty
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Who for the double?

    A) Mawson
    B) Ayew

    1. timPgoodwin
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Ayew

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

      B

  24. pakornk
    • 9 Years

    BBing dgw37.

    Keep 2

    1. Lowton
    2. Barnes
    3. Willian
    4. Mustafi

  25. ZAWAd25

    Can you use triple captain and bench boost in the same week?

    1. Blame It On Rio-ddermorten
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      No.

    2. VardysParty
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      No

  26. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Yoshida nailed for the DGW?

  27. Our Man Charlie
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    What to do with Sanchez ?
    Keep or downgrade and spread funds ....

    1. Get up ya bum
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Keep. Maybe even captain

    2. Red Dagger ✪
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      could be a sneaky captain if Lukaku is out.

      1. Our Man Charlie
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        thanks food for thought 🙂

  28. EMERGING STAR
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Few doubts to clear.

    1. Keep Vardy or transfer to Auba (Albrigton to Kenedy)
    2. Salah to who (Sterling or Eriksen? Have Alli)
    3. What to do with Christensen and Robertson ? (No fund for UTD/TOT defensive cover)

    Team
    DDG
    Cedric Christensen Morgan
    Salah Alli Lingard Mili
    Kane Jesus Vardy
    McCarthy Robertsen Mariappa Albrighton 1.3 ITB

  29. VardysParty
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Willian and Barnes to Arny and Ayew for -4? Will be playing Willian/Barnes if they are not replaced.

    1. EMERGING STAR
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      I would keep

      1. VardysParty
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Do one of them for free?

        1. EMERGING STAR
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          In fact i may get Bernado Silva in for Albrighton (Yes risky but chasing in ML).

          May be you can join me by sacrificing Willian

    Hi guys any advice on what transfers to make here? Literally no idea what's worth doing? Got 1.1 ITB.

    Annoyed at having Son over Eriksen. Otta, Ramsey and Davies look like rotation worries also. Barnes to Ayew maybe?

    DDG
    Otta Davies Chilwell
    Ramsey Salah Sterling Son
    Kane Jesus Barnes
    Ryan Milli Morgan Lowton
