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

    Willian and Barnes to Arny and Ayew for -4? Will be playing Willian/Barnes if they are not replaced. Or just get one of them?

    Which do you prefer?

    A) Morgna, Mahrez & Barnes > Danilo, Arnie, Rashford

    B) Morgan, Mahrez, barnes > Danilo, Pogba & Austin

    What is more imp for a triple captain?
    Nailedness or explosiveness?
    Kane 100% nailed but mediocre form. Sterling stats through the roof but having played full 90mins maybe his chance to be rested for bernardo? That leaves Jesus best TC as got subbed early so more nailed and decent form?

    1. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 10 Years

      Nailedness

    2. Bggz

      i guess we'll know wednesday

    3. The Overthinker
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      its between the city boys for me. sterling or jesus. jesus looks like he will score atleast 2 goals in next two and that will be 14 points multiplied by 3 ie 42 .
      sterling is explosive , can come off the bench and score 1 and score 10-13 points when he starts. thats 18-20 multiplied by 3.... 54 points.... .
      guess i will go with sterlingooooo

      1. The Overthinker
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        which makes me choose explosiveness

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

    and also willian

    thanks

    1. bench boost for every gamew…
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Christensen could get Hudders if Chelsea doesn´t win vs Liverpool. Willian is impossible to tell. This depends on how Conte thinks, in other words, pretty much it is unpredictable

      if i were Conte i would play Christensen vs Liverpool because of his pace because Cheslea need to win and therefore needs to take higher risks, meaning defence line higher up on the pitch and with Liverpools pacy attackers you need pace but who knows? as a Liverpool supporter i hope he plays Cahill

      1. Zizou
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        so he will at best get 1 game

  11. Az

    Morning all.

    That GW will live long in my memory... my transfer indecision (Sterling or Salah, Sterling or Salah?) coupled with the fact that I spoke to Jay who told me to be strong - then he bought Salah back in!

    I won't forget in a hurry the anxiety I felt during the Pool game, Sterling's hattrick os assists - then Alli scoring to justify my decision of Salah-Alli all those weeks ago. But oh my God, Vertonghen hitting the post and teeing up a lazy, offside Kane. It could have been the stuff of dreams.

    Just had it all really. Up to 1.3k and had convinced myself on Saturday I was going to get a big fat red. The top 1k is in my sights!

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

      didnt see the game but has Kane given up on the golden boot?
      who you TCing?

      1. Az
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Can't see him getting it based on his last couple of performances, looks off the pace.
        My TC went on him back in Jan.. 🙁

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

          if you still had it who would you go - sterling, jesus or kane?

          1. Az
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 16 Years
            7 years, 10 months ago

            I honestly have no Idea. Can't decide for my captain.

            Sterling I reckon has the biggest potential but will he play both. Jesus is more consistent than explosive and Kane is the safest but looks well out of form

    2. The Overthinker
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      well done AZ. I really think Vertonghen deserved a goal yesterday. I was on my Edge of the seat when he was in mood to give some attacking returns.

  12. klopp it guys
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Would you do this

    So this is my team
    PICKFORD
    Keane, VVD, SIMPSON,
    erikson, lingard, SALAH, de bruyne
    Kane, j.ayew, jesus

    bench, Mäenpää, cork, francis wimmer

    Thanking off doing -12
    Salah to sterling
    Vvd to valencia
    Simpson to van der Hoorn
    Pickford to Fabianski

    1. bench boost for every gamew…
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Valencia is not worth it, seems nailed but then Mourinho does his twiggle and plays Darmian in the second game.. Smalling if any

      1. klopp it guys
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Would you do it all for -12

        1. bench boost for every gamew…
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          Simpson could be playing now that Albrighton is suspended, but Swansea has something to play for, it is in fact a -6 so yeah, i think i´d do it but maybe considering Smalling and then get Mawson instead of van der hoorn?

          1. klopp it guys
            • 8 Years

    BREAKING: @WestHamUtd striker Andy Carroll was sent home from training yesterday following a furious bust-up with manager David Moyes @SkySportsNews understands.

    Who are we supposed to TC now? 🙁

    1. Az
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Good news for Arnie, less competition knocking about for that striker role.

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

      well that settles my chicharito TC dilemma

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

      Interesting. He looked pissed on the bench vs city too

    4. Andy'81
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      I'd have him back at Newcastle, so long as we're not paying 30+ million for him.

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

    Willian owners keep or sell for Arnautovic?

    1. Jonny HOW SON?
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      sell

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

      Keeping, I only have 1 FT, so using it elsewhere. Don’t think it is worth a hit

  15. DavidFFC

    Hi all, thoughts on Salah > Sterling for a -4?

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Not for me as Salah near essential in gw38

    2. mojoindojo
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Yes

  17. Transferred Out
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Bailly Willian and Vardy -> Otamendi Arnie Jesus , worth a -8?

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

      Otamendi, who's in my team, is a rotation possibility - or even worse.

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

        I'm selling for - 4. I reckon he'll play 0 or 1 Max out of final 3. Presuming Kompany and/or stones are fit

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

          Who you getting in then Champ?

  18. ShaunGoater123
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Morning all,

    Which do you prefer for a -8 taking out Mahrez & Barnes:

    A) Arnie & rashford
    B) Pogba & Austin

    1. Transferred Out
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      A if you have to but neither really for a -8 for me

  19. The Overthinker
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    TC alli anyone?

    1. Transferred Out
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      nope

    2. LC1
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Not is you have Kane / Jesus / Sterling

    3. Jonny HOW SON?
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      owning him is enough

  20. Stimps
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Going without jesus a big risk?

    Thinking Kane (TC), Sterling, Sane, Vardy

    1. Transferred Out
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Most seem to be moving Vardy to Jesus due to Leicester being on Copacabana

  21. anish10
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Which one out of this lot would you do, any help would be much appreciated

    A) Murray > J.Ayew -4

    B) Christensen > Vert -4

    C) Morgan > VHD -4

    1. Transferred Out
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      B

    2. Old Gregg
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      a)
      I
      see below. Not tempted by Austin?

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

      B

  22. Old Gregg
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Which one for the DGW.

    1) Austin
    2) Jayew
    C) Rashford (presuming Kaku injured)

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      1 chasing 2 Leading

      1. Ask Yourself
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        But C for sure if Kaku our for the 2

      2. Old Gregg
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        leading by 10pts

        1. Old Gregg
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          after this horrendous weekend

          1. Old Gregg
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 10 months ago

            thanks by the way

      2

  23. Don Kloppeone
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Is last night enough to make everyone happy Kane will come in strong? Strong enough for me to make a -8 hit that will probably involve dropping both Salah and Son (have 3 Spurs with Eriksen and Vert)?

    Already have Jesus and Sterling

    1. The Overthinker
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      not worth it imo

  24. hillsnick116
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    why no love for Hazard? Big differential?

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

      Remember when everyone was excited by the developing link up play between him and Morata this season? That was awesome.

  25. LewanGOALski
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Defending 17-point lead in ML
    Team for -8:

    DDG
    Alonso - Laporte - Morgan
    Salah - Sterling - Son - Willian
    Kane (TC) - Vardy - JAyew

    Ryan - Gumd - Tarko - Lowton

    g2g?

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

    Salah Barnes Mahrez for Sterling Arnautovic Jesus (-8 hit).

    Then I have this:

    Sterling Son Willian Arnautovic
    Kane Jesus Vardy

    A) GTG
    B) Scratch that

  27. _Make
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Currently sitting 1 point off the top 10k!

    I'm not sure I'll make it as I don't have any chips left, but at least my squad is strong for the DWG. Differential captain pick required I think!

    1. Karan_G14
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Yup probably cap a City player. But if Kane scores well and you cap him you will probably get into the Top 10k.

      1. The Overthinker
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        if he blanks and say jesus/sterling score braces then he can reach 5k too !!

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

      Good points lads!

  28. FCSB

    Bottomed...

    DGW37 Bench Boost Team

    DDG
    Davies Morgan Mustafi
    Sterling Alli Salah Willian
    Jesus Ayew Kane

    Hennessey Christensen Mili Naughton

    0 FT, 0 ITB (already taken -4 hit)

    Are there any further changes I should make to my bench boost team for DGW37 - will need to take a hit... ?????

    Thanks

  29. Karan_G14
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Better option out of these?

    A) Vardy, Mahrez & Bailly ➡️ Jesus, Sterling & Bednarek/Dummet (-4)

    B) Vardy, Barnes, Mahrez & Bailly ➡️ Jesus, Ayew, Sterling & VDH (-8)

    If Ayew is banned today will have to go for option A.
    Have exact cash for these moves so transfer will have to be made tonight.

    Cheers! 🙂

  30. Jonny HOW SON?
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Should I bring in Sane or too much rotation risk?
