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

      how can you afford that team? thats like 110m!???

    2. Malcolm Tucker for England …

      use your mitb to get Costa instead

  2. The Red Devil

    Sanchez is in my WC team, hmm! Gotta reconsider

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

    Can I justify BB this week and play TC in 37 here?

    https://imgur.com/a/lSoBS

    Not sure if I'm confident in Alexis right now with Kane and Hazard on fire for 37

    1. MJM
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Definintely yes

  4. NATSTER

    8 years, 7 months ago

    United have so many injured players. Does it mean Jose has no room to rotate key players, e.g. Valencia.

    1. NATSTER
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Thinking about selling him, but reconsidering.

      There will still fatigue to be factor though.

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

        Sold

      2. Disco Pat
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        If Liverpool win tomorrow I think we'll see Jose focus on his team in Europa league as 4th might be a stretch. United play spurs and arsenal after celta Vigo games. The gunners match is in between and if they pick up any more injuries could impact both so could see focus switch to Europa league.win two games out of three with plenty of rest between second and third and united make champions league

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

      and they have Europa semi final this Thursday and next Thursday.
      Mourinho admitted Europa League is their main priority

  5. Mark-O
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    If Alli scored with that Kane assist probably Kane captains wouldn't be so miserable now 🙁

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

      And if Kane didn't waste that Wanyama assist too. Poor touch took it out his stride

    2. Hakchak
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Win some lose some, fpl is luck most of the time... alli score that and tadic score the penalty yesterday and I'd be top 500

  6. Flynny
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Following today, are Gabriel and sane less attractive wildcard options duebti rotation risk?

    And is Gibbs now a viable option for wildcard?...thanks

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

      I'm kind of hoping sane has had his rest but if I had my WC again..

  7. Begbie.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

  10. Legomane

    63 all out. Rival finished with 58, thanks to some dodgy Bailly and Rash points 🙁
    Deficit halved, 5 behind. WC active, BB37. He has TC and BB...going to be tough...

    1. Sterling is £11Mill..…
      • 8 Years

    4. Junior ⚽

      49 all out. Another shocker as seen below.

    5. matiakez

      55 but miffed at how my wild card now looks.

    6. The Overthinker

      72

    7. the snazzy viking
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      51 but Pieters didn't play so Maguire's 5 points will come off the bench 🙂

      56 pre bonus

  13. Junior ⚽
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    49 all out.
    Thanks to that yellow card and the absolute t**t Walker I would have got 60 points.
    Back to back red arrows and dropping from inside the top 20k to outside the top 30k.
    Benching wise 9 points lost and last week 33 from that disaster Negredo.
    Thats the difference between me sat at 30k instead of 9.5k

  14. Digital-Real

    KDB (c) for the DGW. Who's joining me?

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

      Tempted

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Only if I sell Sanchez.

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

        That's a tempter if 36 continues like he is.

      2. Digital-Real
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        That's where my thoughts are. Sanchez will go and KDB will replace. Can see a few assists from him in the DGW.

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

      Probably Hazard for me. Maybe even Jesus depending on how 36 goes.

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

      Not over Kane and Hazard

    5. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Thinking Jesus with 2 home games particularly if Aguero out

  15. WE GO FOR IT
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Lukaku, Zaha -> Jesus, Sanchez (-4)

    Do it tonight or wait?

    1. Dannyb
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      I wouldn't bother with Sanchez tbh, I'm probably getting rid

      1. WE GO FOR IT
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Who to get instead? KdB?

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

    On WC

    A)Alli+Darmian
    B)Eriksen+Blind(Set Pieces)

    Also, is Sanchez a must on wc?

    Many Thanks

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

    Great, WC'ed 35 to get some extra points this week and what do you know, only gained 3 points with all the strange results this weekend and will probably need to take a hit to get Jesus in because of knee-jerkers raising his price yesterday.

    FML.

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

      Yeah it hasn't worked for me, last minute tinkering and keeping benteke as a Costa place holder the most frustrating aspect.

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

        Loads and loads of high variance this week...

  18. JÆKS ⭐
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Think I'm still TC Sanchez next week

    ManU was rubbish today and the game is squeezed in between 2 EL games for Manu

    Southampton was also rubbish against Hull yesterday, not really much to play for anymore

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

      Yeah but Arsenal are soooo bad.

      1. JÆKS ⭐
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Yea true, but well they will have to start winning now!

    • President Giggs
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Want to get Hazard in, Alli, Eriksen and King all seem undroppable, Sanchez has 4 games in two weeks. I really don't know what to do 😀

      1. Disco Pat
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        I have all 5! Who is your 5th midfielder and what your forward line (mine is kane lukaku and gabbi)

    • Ibralicious
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Better 4.1 option for remaining fixtures- Holgate (EVE) or Stephens (SOU)?

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

        Stephens

      2. Hakchak
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Ofc stephens

      3. Lallana_
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Even Stephen

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

        Stephens has 2 more games

      5. Ibralicious
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Cheers all, Stephens it is

    • Ravager
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Well, getting Sanchez back in 'early' after the blank weeks to 'maximize' on his hauls+ doubles before others put him back in has worked out wonderfully for me.

      Gonna keep him though cause...at this point I might as well

    • diesel001
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      I'm going Sunderland hunting with my WC.

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

        Already relegated though. They won't be bothered...

        1. diesel001
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Exactly. Pick players from teams who are playing against Sunderland.

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

        defoe?
        Borini?

    • Twisted Saltergater
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Brought in Kompany for a hit ahead of Citeh's 3 home games. Thought the Boro game would pay the hit back immediately and maybe some goal threat too. A big fat zero points 😆

      Made worse by Bavies grinning at me from my bench.

      Sometimes you just have to trust your squad.

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

        Got to be damn sure to take hits for defenders

        1. Twisted Saltergater
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Yeah. I guess I might have taken a hit for him in DGW37, anyway, but we'll see.

    • Sedemuda
