A busy Sunday comes to its conclusion with a north London derby at White Hart Lane.

Harry Kane welcomes Arsenal in stunning form. Firing double-digit returns in each of his last three home starts, the Spurs striker is the fourth most-captained player for Gameweek 35.

With four fixtures in the final three Gameweeks, many will be scouting Christian Eriksen and Dele Alli this afternoon, though Son Heung-min may yet have a part to play in our wildcard plans after returning to the Tottenham teamsheet.

Kyle Walker’s 33% owners will be looking elsewhere, though, as the right-back drops to the bench for the third time in six matches.

With back-to-back Double Gameweeks 36 and 37 on the horizon, we need Alexis Sanchez back in form after a run of just one goal in the last five fixtures.

Yet with Olivier Giroud returning to the starting line-up, the Chilean looks likely to take up a central support berth as Arsene Wenger continues with a 3-4-2-1 formation.

At the back, the 4.8-priced Gabriel is handed a fifth straight start. Almost 8,000 FPL manages have acquired the Brazilian since yesterday’s deadline passed as a cheap route into the Gunners’ rearguard for the run-in.

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

    Going to be a low scoring affair this

    1. diesel001

      Agree. Although I am taking comfort in the fact that a top manager like yourself is having a poor GW so far too. Shows it can happen to the best.

    2. Deulofail
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Or not. Game could open up with both teams needing a win

    1. nkhoughton
      • 10 Years

      About as good David Luiz thinks he taking free kicks

  6. nkhoughton
    • 10 Years

    Who do you bring in to pair with Kane up top?

    I want rid for Gabbiadini

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years

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

        I've already had Crouch this year though?

    Odds of Xhaka getting a yellow this match?

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

      1/1

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

      Very high. Might get sent off

    3. Petr Cech the Table
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Surprised he hasn't got one already

    4. Team Cruel

    Sanchez being a ghost

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Have been since few weeks, everyone still waiting for his big hauls

      1. AC Tomasso
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        I plan on triple captaining him next week, fingers crossed he can find some better form.

  10. Feloh
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    funny when people think trippier is better than Walker

  11. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    I don't see Kane doing well in this match

  12. the Penman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    I have 3 attackers in this game, and no defenders. Save the tight pressing for next week, Wenger.

  13. Saïss Doesn't Mat…
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Gabriel and ox-chambo added to shortlist

  14. fedolefan
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Yeah, ruin my team by benching Walker and that's what you'll get by playing Trippier.

  15. DR0GBA

    Conte saying he doesn't expect David Luiz's injury to be serious, and expects him back for the next game

      Indeed. I've got four attackers and no defenders and I'm stuck on 22 points.

  19. dhamphiir

    Conte says he doesn't think David Luiz's injury is a serious one. He hopes to have him available for the next game. #CFC
    Conte says he is very pleased with Nathan Ake's impact and adds the Dutchman played like a 'veteran'. #CFC

    Plummeting out of the top 50k tonight. Never had a finish outside the top 14k in eight seasons. This has been such a tough year.

    Walker Coutinho > Kean Sanchez -4?

  22. Somalion
    • 15 Years

    Now spent two minutes talking about Sanchez and Huth's social media exploits on Sky.

    I wish some other company would come in and destroy them and BT.
