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.

    Do we think Son will play vs WBA & Newcastle? Debating whether to move him or Mahrez on

    1. fijuhmon
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I’m afraid he won’t. He was poor yesterday. This coming from a Son-owner.

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        By the sound of it many spurs didn't perform well, think he ll play

    2. Going Home
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Starts one, off the bench in the other. But more chance of returns than Mahrez playing 180 mins imo

      1. Old Gregg
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        This

    3. Pinky Blinders
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Poch seems to favor him starting but rarely will he go the full 90. I don’t think he has looked effective coming on as a sub, so probably will get around 120 minutes over both. He still looks hungry when he plays. So I would keep and ship Mahrez, who just doesn’t look interested at all in this season anymore.

    Keep Willian and Lingard or -4 one of the them for Arnie?

    1. Big Sum
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      -4

    2. fijuhmon
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      -4

  3. hillsnick116

    why no love for Hazard? Big differential??

    1. Tshelby
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Don't fancy Chelsea scoring but could be good

    2. @fpl_phenom
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      absolutely could be a great option

    3. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Difficult to fit in to the team that's all. It's basically Salah's spot, who you'll want back for 38.

  4. fijuhmon
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Best Walker replacement?

    1. fijuhmon
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Current backline DDG, Lowton, Morgan, Tarkowski, Yedlin and Walker

    2. Big Sum
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Azpi

      1. Big Sum
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        or vertonghen

    3. Tshelby
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Smalling

      1. fijuhmon
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Nailed for the rest of the season?

        1. Tshelby
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          I really think so but have no source to conform it.. Maybe Vert than

    4. anish10
      • 15 Years

      Danilo

  5. tractorjess
    • 10 Years

  6. Tshelby
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Morning all!

    What should be my next move?

    1FT
    2.4 ITB

    DDG, Ryan
    Smalling, Davies, Morgan, Lowton, VDH
    Salah, Mahrez, Willian, Gross, Albrighton
    Kane, Jesus, Barnes

    Currently I'm ranked in the top 55K season goal was 100K qhould I take a risk to try to get in the top 50K?

    Cheers

    1. Tshelby
      • 11 Years

      Anyone?

      1. Lyonnais
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Mahrez + Willian ---> Sterling + Sane/Spurs mid.

    2. Eden Wizard
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Good team spine. Mahrez & Albrighton to fund Sterling

      1. Tshelby
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        All ready got the funding with 2.4 itb Sterling and whom then? Tadic? Son?

    3. Cojones of Destiny
      • 8 Years

      id move mahrez or albrighton in for dgwer

      1. Eden Wizard

        1. Fitzy.
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Bit rich given your comment above that missed his 2.4 ITB.

          1. Eden Wizard
            • 8 Years
            8 years, 1 month ago

            Fair point!

  7. Jonny HOW SON?
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Better option from:

    a. Tadic & Arnautovic
    b. Sane & JAyew

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

      b its the safe option

    GW37 GTG?

    1. Tshelby
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Feeling confident about Willian? Don't think Morgan will get much points but yeah he is the one with a DGW

      1. @fpl_phenom
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        they are my 2 concerns but I fell with the hits it will take to remove them its worth gambling on them getting returns....

        Feel willian will defnitely start one of the games, hopefully Huddersfield at home!

        1. @fpl_phenom
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          *feel

          1. Tshelby
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 1 month ago

            No love for maybe Gundogan as a replacement?

            1. @fpl_phenom
              • 10 Years
              8 years, 1 month ago

              for -4 ? no chance ......

  9. The Overthinker
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    best midfielder for remaining matches? and a reason along with it will be helpful
    budget not a problem.

    1. Lyonnais
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Sterling, DGW, fixtures and form

      1. The Overthinker
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        he is my TC ... along with alli and son.. one spot left with 11.8 ITB

    2. Tshelby
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Sterling just fixtures and form even if he plays two games he will get points

    3. Azathoth
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Sterling / Eriksen / Tadic / even Pogba (God help me!!!!)

      1. The Overthinker
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        pogba is tempting ...

        atm i am stuck between pogba, ramsey, sane, sanchez

        1. Going Home
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Avoid Rambo - can't see him starting on Sunday irrespective of EL result (66 hours between games)

    4. @fpl_phenom
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Sterling ... then sane.. then eriksen... then Pogba ....

  10. Zizou
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    what would you do if you had both willian and christensen??

    1. JJO
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I have and will probably play both

      1. Zizou
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        what minutes you think they'll get

        1. JJO
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          I really believe they will start that Huddersfield game
          And think that could be enough to keep them

    2. Little Frank
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I'm in the same boat, looking at doing Willian -> Sane and Christensen -> Vertongen (have 2.5 ITB)

      1. @fpl_phenom
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        is that for free?

  11. Azathoth
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Leading by 15 points in my ML.What's by best move?

    a) Monreal to Laporte (need cash) & Son to Sterling (TC)

    b) Azpi to Laporte & Vardy to Jesus (TC)

    c) Keep the team as it is and TC Kane.

  12. Transferred Out
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Thoughts on a KdB TC, his points ceiling at home has to be one of the highest?

    1. Jonny HOW SON?
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Sterling or Jesus are better options

      1. Tshelby
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        +1

      2. Transferred Out
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        You think Sterling will play both games and Jesus points return over 2 matches is as high?

  13. Scotty B
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Best defender to get in this week?

    1. Lyonnais
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I like Spurs, Swansea and Southampton DGW fixtures.
      At least SWA and SOU really have something to play for.

    2. Tshelby
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Vert although they were lucky to get that CS yesterday

  15. Lyonnais
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    de Gea
    Vertonghen, Mawson, Cedric
    Salah, Sterling, Willian, Lingard
    Kane, Vardy, Murray

    Ryan | Morgan, Gudmundsson, Lowton

    1 FT, 2.5 ITB

    A) Vardy + Murray ---> Jesus + Ayew/Austin -4
    B) Vardy + Murray + Willian ---> Jesus + Ayew + Son/Sane -8
    C) other idea?

  16. LC1
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Mahrez & Willian > Sterling & Gund/DSilva for -8?

    Or just Mahrez to Sterling for -4?

    Have Jesus up top.

    1. Lyonnais
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Probably just Sterling.
      Not sure Gündogan and Silva will play twice.

  17. Stimps
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Who scores more?

    A) Jesus (TC), Kane, Danilo, Gross (-8)

    B) Kane (TC), Sane, Vardy, VDH (-4)

    1. Lyonnais
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      B

  18. DAN DARE
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Need to mix things up a bit if I'm gonna catch my rival
    A) Son & Murray > Dilva & Ayew or B) Willian & Murray > Fernandinho & Rashford?

    1. Lyonnais
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Probably just Murray ---> Ayew.
      Wouldn't sell Son ahead of the DGW and Fernandinho & Rashford are poor options imo.

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

    A) Eriksen
    B) KDB

    Which is best for GW37

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

      A

    2. Lyonnais
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      A

  20. Mondeo
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Who do we think will keep the most CS over this DGW?

    City vs United vs Chelsea?

    Considering Ederson as my 3rd city player..

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

      United

    2. Lyonnais
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      United

    3. MTPockets
        8 years, 1 month ago

        city

    4. mojoindojo
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Keep Iwobi or sell for -4?

      Max 5.3 and already on -4

      1. Lyonnais
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        I think there's no one at 5.3 or below who is worth a hit.

    5. Adzy
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Salah > Sane -4 then back again for free in 38??

      1. CAP
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        I'll be doing the same but with Sterling

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

      A Salah to Eriksen -4 and reverse in 38 on a free

      B Keep Salah

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

        A will be repaid so if you’ve no other problems then yes A

    7. OneDennisBergkamp
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      Whats the general opinion... keep or sell Salah for the double gameweek?

      1. The Polymath
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Keep

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

        i have 2ft so I will sell as need Sterling in my team with the idea to get him back, not ideal but needs must as my ML is tight

      3. CAP
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Tough one, unless it's Sterling or Sane I'd keep

      4. Feed tha Sheep
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Keep

    8. The Polymath

      Is Ayew safe from a ban now?

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

      who to sell for Arnie- Lingard or Gross?

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

      Who should I sell Mahrez for for free? I have sterling.

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

        Erikson if you have cash, if not i'd be tempted by Sane, DSiliva or Arnie

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

          Have 3 spurs. Thinking Arnie and upgrade Morgan with the change. Probably to Smalling

      2. Andy'81
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Sane, was recently rotated so should be nailed on for the DGW, have the treble Citeh attack for two good looking home fixtures.

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

          Cheers. Definitely a consideration

    11. Jumping Jurgen
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Willian/Son - Arny/Sane -4?

      Would leave me with no Spurs...

    12. Daghe Munegu
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      G2G?

      DDG
      Vertonghen Valencia Mustafi
      Son Sané Sterling Zaha
      Kane Jesus Ayew

      Ryan Morgan King Lowton

      1. Ady87
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Nice team.

    13. Ady87
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Anyone holding Lukaku?

      If I do I’m tempted by this -4

      Lowton, Daniels, Salah > Smalling, Davies, Pogba (All DGW)

      Thoughts?

      1. Andy'81
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Looking forward to selling for Kane, I was doubtful of him plying both times in the double before the injury anyways.
