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

    Sanchez is trash

    1. itwaswritten
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      You're if you captained him vs. TOT. Arsenal is a mid table team now. Even Everton is better.

      1. Coaly
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        I went Kane because Arsenal are trash

        Judging by your grav, I'd guess you're​ a tad salty... Arsenal not mid table

  6. The Overthinker

    Why is the average 48?

    1. The Tinkerman
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      On average, players scored 48 points? (That is the top 1000 average though) overall is 38.

  7. The Tinkerman
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Happy St Arse's day everyone.

    Next week's benching nightmare - one of:
    - Jesus
    - JWP
    - King

    Almost feels like I need to bench JWP...

    1. Only a Hazard of time
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      JWP easy

    2. ryacoo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Didn't JWP get 0 minutes this GW?

    3. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      JWP and it's not even close

    4. We Will Klopp you
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      JWP all the way

  9. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    At least people now won't go with Sanchez & Hazard on their WCs 🙂

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

      They'll still go because they are scared of hauls

  10. Wilshere Knowledge
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    0 goals and only 2 assists in last 2 gw's. F-in dreadful.

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

      They create 0 chances, this is what's most frustrating to watch of all. If only 2 players want to get the ball and create something, this is an impossible task. And what's Wenger doing subbing off Xhaka instead of Ramsey, Xhaka was pretty good actually and Ramsey was by far the worst player on the pitch.

  11. The Overthinker
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Sanchez must in. A WC team? LOL

  12. TheTinman
    • 10 Years

    47pts not the best

  13. TheBusDriver

    How do people rate Kane? Bang average player.

    1. vectorman
      • 9 Years

      Bang average post.. 😛

      1. KingNidge

        🙂

    2. KingNidge

      Bang average post

      1. vectorman
        • 9 Years

        Great minds..

    3. Big_Andy_GAWA
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Wise up.

    4. Jimmy Boy
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Excellent forward for Tottenham, donkey once he pulls on an England shirt

    5. The Tinkerman
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      You have an odd definition of average.

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

    Who would you rather have?
    A. Bailly + Gabriel
    B. Monreal + Smith
    C. Daniel + Gabriel

    1. EDEN THE MAN
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Bailly is injured

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

        I know, currently have A in my team

  15. Alnair
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Trippier or Gabriel?

    1. Pigeon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Neither

  16. EDEN THE MAN
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Alli to Hazard on Wc?

    Or Eriksen to Hazard and downgrade Blind to a 5.0 def

    Any response would be greatly appreciated

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Erik>Haz + Darmian?

    2. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      I would have Alli & Hazard in any wc team

  17. drughi
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    18 points in the last 6 games from sanchez.

    1. Yank Revolution
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      I was savaged for suggesting a winger Alexis wouldnt bring points...

  18. The Tinkerman
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    38 points after hits. Benched Jaku and Vert for Willy and Zaha. Kane (C).

  19. Bruno Bruno!!
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Why did i do Negredo to Gabbiadni ?

    1. The Tinkerman
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      It looked very sensible before the GW. Also did it.

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

      Cause we are human

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

      Because Negredo blank in DGW 34
      If Gabbi scored the goal and Negredo blank, you will probably say Negredo to Gabbi worked well

  20. Duffy Dunk
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Cech could be an interesting captain option........
    shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

  21. Sims
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    I don't know I want sanchez on a WC but there is no one I'd rather captain

    Not captaining a SGW player.

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

      God bless you bud if you still want to Captain sanchez

  22. Godot - Fashanu Zealand
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Any chance of baps for Kane or Alli?

    1. Big_Andy_GAWA
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Take a look...

    2. Coaly
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Outside chance Alli gets 1

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

    Point Prediction for Firmino (C) and Capoue?

    1. itwaswritten
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      2 & 2.

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

      20 2

  24. ryacoo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Which option is better?
    A) Alli, Monreal, Pickford
    B) Eriksen, Gabriel, Cech

    (Also got Kane)

  25. Clifford☯
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Lukaku & Bailly ➡ Jesus & Vertonghen for a hit.

    Yes or No ?

  26. Big_Andy_GAWA
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Another Wildcard and another case of less points than if I'd kept it. I knew I should have TC'd DDG last GW and W/C'd this. So annoyed.

  27. EDEN THE MAN
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Sanchez or Dele on Wc?

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      both

  28. Spg76
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    My first two signings of next season will be Lloris and a Spurs def. Have not had a Spurs defender or GK all season and that's the reason I'm a Mickey Mouse casual and at the 200'000 overall

    1. EDEN THE MAN
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      They might not be when you find out their 7m a piece

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

      Same here, never had a Spurs/Chelsea defender

    3. We Will Klopp you
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      And go without Alli/Eriksen and Kane? We'd all love 5 Spurs players but have to prioritize attackers imo

  29. mcrayeps
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Canceled my planning on Alli->ozil for dgw36 and vv at dgw37.. Alli could outscore ozil dgw right?

    1. Coaly
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Easily

  30. Athletic Nasherbo
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Who would have thought a Kane YC would lose you so many points.
