Gameweek 35 comes to its conclusion this evening as Hull welcome Arsenal to the KC Stadium. After a number of their relegation rivals won over the weekend, Steve Bruce’s side sit just one point clear of the drop zone despite clinching back-to-back victories over Palace and Liverpool in their double Gameweek 34.

The Tigers backline are seeking a third straight clean sheet after upping their resilience in the fight for survival, whilst Dame N’Doye owners will be looking for more of the same after the January signing bagged a brace against Palace in the previous round of fixtures.

Arsenal, meanwhile, will be eagerly assessed by Fantasy managers with one eye firmly on double Gameweek 37. Olivier Giroud has seven goals and an assist in the last eight rounds of fixtures, whilst Alexis Sanchez has three strikes and an assist in his previous four outings in all competitions – both looked poised for significant investment as Arsene Wenger’s side prepare for three home clashes and a trip to United in the final three Gameweeks.

Aaron Ramsey, Mesut Ozil and Santi Cazorla are also vying for our attentions in the centre of the park, whilst at the back, Laurent Koscielny and co. look to extend the series of displays which have seen the Gunners concede just three times in the last seven Gameweeks.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    Would be so typical if Giroud got injured this week.

    Is Granny going to get another Harper CS?...

      I doubt it since he's probably played Opsina this week

    Not sure if it's been posted yet but since I'm in a meeting I thought I would be productive and look at a spreadsheet. This is from fpldiscovery:

    Arsenal ownership% in the top 10k OR

    Ospina 11,6%
    Giroud 43,6%
    Bellerín 20,6%
    Sánchez 34,2%
    Ramsey 10,6%
    Koscielny 7,2%
    Cazorla 4,3%
    Özil 4,1%

      Ozil is a nice little differential, might get him

      1. tm245
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        First name for dgw37 for me, definitely.

    3. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Yeah I too also spend alot of time looking at the spreadsheets. I was actually somewhat annoyed that Coutinho was so highly owned!

      Come on Kosroud

    5. Hibbopotamus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Kind of stunned Ozil is the least owned of those. I'd almost want him over Ramsey, though I see why others wouldn't.

      Hopefully Alexis stays quiet then...

      best kind of meetings to be in 😉

    a bit disappointed so far with my transfer as Giroud looks ok at best..

    1. andy85wsm
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      It's been 18 minutes.

      1. sinik
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        oh hadn't noticed at all Andy..not like I wrote 'so far' 😉

        1. andy85wsm
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 8 months ago

          You're disappointed with not even a quarter of the match gone. At least wait until 90 minutes have passed. Or until he gets subbed.

          1. sinik
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            10 years, 8 months ago

            I think it's fair to pass judgement on a player at any point in a match, with context. I have not written him off, he may have started slow, but so far I am not impressed.

            1. andy85wsm
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • Has Moderation Rights
              • 15 Years
              10 years, 8 months ago

              Fair enough. Lets hope you stay disappointed 🙂 (non-owner)

                boo that

  5. Danstoke82
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Of course Giroud could be injured. I brought him in.

    1st time I brought him in he gets sent off

    2nd time he gets dropped

    3rd time he gets injured....

    3 times burnt.

      1. Danstoke82
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        Heard that he was limping.

          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 15 Years

          Taken a couple of knocks. Looks fine.

          1. Heels_Over_Head
            • 12 Years
            10 years, 8 months ago

            thank you !

          2. Danstoke82
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 8 months ago

            Phew, thankfully misread the commentary said he was limping and struggling

        2. Heels_Over_Head
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 8 months ago

          cheers

  6. Ser Football 42

    Hazard to Sanchez?

    1. sinik
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      that's what I'm looking at!

      1. FPL Maldini
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        Risky but could be gold

        1. sinik
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 8 months ago

          eh the way Chelsea are playing it's hardly risky..only 3 gameweeks left

      2. Ser Football 42
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        It's a tough one though

        1. sinik
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 8 months ago

          what's your rank?

    2. JK - Cønt ⭐
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Hard to fathom selling Haz when I'm sitting on Sterling and Cesc

      1. sinik
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        ouch..yeah I'm looking at a hit out for Sterling and Haz..

    alexis on 3 baps

    1. FPL Maldini

      Only 17 mins though

    2. Jimmers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Meaningless at this stage

    3. Caine & Co.
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      koscielny close though

        He had a small run as a cop on CHiPs. Awesome.

        1. Heels_Over_Head
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 8 months ago

          I see your Bruce Jenner in CHiPs and raise you a Kurt Thomas in Gymkata

            • 12 Years

            I am in the dark on that one. Never heard of that. 🙁

    2. tm245

      That grav...massive.

      1. The Enlightener
        • 12 Years

        Gracias. It brings me great joy.

  9. Danstoke82
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Regardless of whether Chelse take it easy or not I just can't bring myself to sell Hazard

    1. FPL Maldini
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Yea it is like selling Messi if Barca won the league

      1. sinik
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        not at all, we know what kind of manager Mourinho is and how Chelsea have been playing the last month or so

      2. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        Chelsea are not winning 8-0 though.

    2. sinik
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Hazard probably puts up 10-15 points over the rest of the season tbh

      1. Hibbopotamus
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        I'll take 5 a game no problem

    3. TheCurseOfRaheem
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      GW 38 puts me off selling.

      1. Danstoke82
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        Just can't see Hazard becoming mediocre. Other issues to deal with like getting rid of Sterling and pronto.

        Useless FT that was. Sterling is chronically overrated IMO

        1. TheCurseOfRaheem
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 8 months ago

          Yeah he is a problem for me also. I want to upgrade to Sanchez but don't have the cash and don't wanna take a hit. Not sure what to do. So annoyed I got him.

          1. Danstoke82
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 8 months ago

            I'm one of the lucky ones that has both of them hence why I'm keeping.

            Don't envy your position though, maybe it's a decent shout for u to swap them?

    Reminiscing of the days Elmo was a RB

    1. Richd

      Me ?

  11. Messi & fabregas
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    how come on this uneventful match sanchez has more bps than anyone and he only touched the ball pnce (shot on target)

    strange bps system

    1. Messi & fabregas
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      and giroud has 0!

    2. FPL Maldini
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      BAPS at this stage mean nothing really

    3. Forza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Judging bps after 20 minutes is even more strange

  12. TheCurseOfRaheem
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Just saw Siggy's miss from Saturday. Shameful.

    1. FPL Maldini
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 8 months ago

      Worse than Sterlings?

      1. TheCurseOfRaheem
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 8 months ago

        On par.

    1. RÏɠBY
      • 14 Years

      hull playing doggedly.. 50/50 so far

  21. Royal5
    • 14 Years

    Ouch..

  22. Wouter
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Feck off Ramsey.

    1. Heels_Over_Head

    özil it is then.

    1. Yome
      • 14 Years

      2 weeks to recover

  24. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Ramsey down

  25. Danstoke82
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 8 months ago

    Ramsey down certainly would solve the 3rd Arsenal player issue?

  26. andy85wsm
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 15 Years

    Even if Ramsey carries on I'm glad I waited until after this game to make any Arsenal transfers 🙂

    huddlestone is so clumsy due to his slowness

    he should be sent off in most of the matches for reckless chalenges
