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

    I doubt getting ozil and cech for GW36. Can't really trust them. Maybe I'll go with only 1 dgw player.
    Good thing is, still on WC

      • 16 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      I think cech will be good nailed on and save points at least.
      dgw keepers normally do well

      I might switch ozil back to coutinho all the same!

    Yet another RMWC I'm afraid. Thoughts appreciated...

    0.1 ITB.

    Willy - Heaton
    Blind - Monreal - Yoshida - Cahill - McGuire
    Sanchez - Hazard - King - Pedro - JWP
    Kane - Jesus - Gabbi

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

      I like Pedro as an option

      But isn't he big rotation risk with willian and cesc?

      1. Jet5605
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        I was kinda banking on him keeping his place after scoring that screamer today.

    A curry, a few beers and some Arsenal Fan TV

    proper order

      It'll be great tonight. Ty should be a laugh

      coys

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

    Thinking of going Cahill and Alonso at the back in a double up.

    Do we reckon they will continue to play? or does rest or rotation look inevitible?

    1. JAC THE CAT
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      That's a lot of budget eaten up.

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

        my team would be:

        Heaton
        Alonso - Cahill - Stephens
        Hazard - Eriksen - Sanchez - Alli - Sane
        Kane - Jesus

  5. JAC THE CAT
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Best defender with a 5.1 budget, thinking Gabriel?

    I've already got Stephens and Holgate.

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

      Gibbs?

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

      Gab

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

    Using free transfer Mawson to
    A Monreal or
    B Koscielny
    Anything else worth hit?

    Caballero
    Monreal/Koscielny Yoshida Alonso
    Sanchez King Hazard Alli
    Kane Jesus Gabbiadini

    Pickford BDavies Zaha Valencia

    1. Cruz88
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Mawson got as good a chance of points as the Arsenal guys over the next couple surely

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

        Good point. Perhaps Valencia to Monreal or Koscielny then

        1. Cruz88
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Why so keen for Arsenal defenders, just the doubles? Not exactly been keeping clean sheets recently, are you hoping for 2+2? Valencia might be back in contention for more starts now due to Shaw injury

  7. Expected Toulouse
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Best Antonio Valencia replacement?

    1. Sahil Yadav
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Bertrand? Maybe he'll be on pens too

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

      Monreal

  8. Gregor

    • 16 Years

    Not sure about this triple Spurs business, they're not the best fixtures are they?

    1. DR0GBA
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      No, but they can score goals

      1. Gregor
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Good chance they'll just grind wins out.

    2. Gaz Downright
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      I urge everyone to sell.

    3. UnitedFan

    4. Gregor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights

      Spurs have scored 7 less goals away from home than Arsenal.

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

      one thing I learnt from Negredo and Benteke, it's form over fixture

      1. Gregor
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        It's a bit of both, Spurs are better at home.

      Smh.

  10. Sahil Yadav
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Two questions:
    A) Eriksen or Hazard for GW37 if you have both Alli and Kane

    B) Costa or Hazard?

    1. Sahil Yadav
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      B) Costa or Vardy**

  11. Gaz Downright
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Mind the gap.

    1. Sahil Yadav
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      I really want that gap to narrow down

  12. liiusions
    • 10 Years

    Bench one:
    A) Gabbi
    B) King

    1. Sweetboi

  13. DA Minnion (Former great)

    Walker has to go ?

    1. UnitedFan
      • 10 Years

      Yes. It's Cedric all over again

  14. MarkoSD

    jesus today rise 0,3%, how far till price change?

    1. Salah’s Sonnet

      1. MarkoSD

        don't know

    1. Gaz Downright

      Aw... haha.

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

      Excellent

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

    Who is the best arsenal defender to buy?

    Monreal at 5.8 looks overpriced.

    Gabriel was poor today and may lose his place.

    Is Gibbs an option now?

    Thanks

    1. DR0GBA
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Probably Cech if you're counting GK as defender

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

      Gibbs was worse than Gabriel IMO

  16. Alnair

    United PL fixtures...

    07 May 16:00 36 Arsenal (A)

    17 May 19:45 37 Southampton (A)
    21 May 15:00 38 Crystal Palace (H)

    How many clean sheets do you reckon they'll keep?

    2. Gregor

      3. Will concede against Palace

  17. Lucky_Z
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Which is better combo for DGWs:

    A) Hazard • Redmond • Anichebe
    B) Pedro • JWP • Jesus

    1. ChelseaGuy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

  20. JJeyy

      never sell negredo

    2. tambourineman

      Selling Cout for a defender?

  21. We Will Klopp you
    • 9 Years

    What to do here, stick or use FT

    Currently got:
    Heaton
    Valencia Holgate Huth
    Sane Sanchez Coutinho Alli Eriksen
    Lukaku (K)ane

    Valdes Yoshida Stephens (saints get pummeled vs big teams) Negredo

    1 FT, 0.9m itb

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

      Lukaku --> Jesus or are you keeping faith with Lukaku - no pun intended.

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

        I'm a bit worried Lukaku could go mad but really considering Jesus

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

          i just done kaku > vardy, kun > Jesus to go with Kane I have already

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

    WC team. Sunderland and WBA hunting:

    Courtois - Caballero
    Yoshida - Maguire - Holgate - Monreal - Vertonghen
    Hazard - Siggy - Alli - King - Capoue
    Jesus - Kane - Costa

    Will do Maguire to Olsson in GW37 for BB. AOA in GW38 so will upgrade Capoue.

  23. Colonel Shoe 肝池
    • 14 Years

    no baps for alli or kane 🙁

  24. Pigeon
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years

    How does my team look and what changes should I make for gw37?

    Jaku Caballero
    Maguire Daniels Bertrand Yoshi Chambers
    Sanchez Hazard King Eriksen Carroll
    Kane Lukaku Jesus

    0itb 0FT

    1. DR0GBA

      No Chelsea defensive coverage?

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

        Dont have the funds

        1. DR0GBA
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Could downgrade Lukaku to Gabbi and upgrade Chambers/Maguire to Alonso

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

            Thats what I thought but afraid of a Lukaku haul against Watford

            1. DR0GBA
              • 8 Years
              8 years, 7 months ago

              Same, that's why i'm reluctant to push the trigger to do Lukaku > Jesus

              That's his last home game of the season and having a player with 2 extra fixtures, and upgrading elsewhere could be worthwhile though

  25. Garam MOSALAH
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Should I TC Sanchez ??

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

    Jakupovic ahead of Sanchez on bench, can I get his points? 😮

    1. Garam MOSALAH
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Nah

  27. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    When I finish my wildcard I will more then likely have 2 Leicester defenders and 2 Southampton ones.

    I was thinking of benching the two Southampton players even though they have double gameweeks.

    I figure that the Leicester defenders have more chance of getting points v watford (h) then southampton have a chance of getting points v Liverpool (a) and arsenal (h)

    is that madness or does it make sense.
    Fuchs and Huth will be my defenders

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

      Makes sense. I am looking for players that still have something to play for (Top 6 and Swansea / Hull / Boro) that are playing teams who have nothing to play for and are on holiday (Sunderland, W Ham, Watford, WBA, Everton etc).

  28. Jet5605
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Yet another RMWC I'm afraid. Is Gabriel now a risk? Thoughts appreciated...

    0.3 ITB.

    Willy - Heaton
    Blind - Gabriel - Yoshida - Cahill - McGuire
    Sanchez - Hazard - King - Sane - JWP
    Kane - Jesus - Gabbi

    1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      can you get pickford instead of heaton and upgrade gabriel?

      I am not sure about the united defence considering thier injuries.

      Also there might be better single gameweek options then gabbi

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

      Heaton & Gabriel => Pickford & Monreal

      1. Jet5605
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Makes sense but I was hoping to play Heaton in 36 and 38 as I don't trust Pep

  29. Sterling is £11Mill..…
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Thinking of bench boosting this this week, what do u reckon?
    Jaku- Pickford
    Maguire-cahill-yoshida-jagielka-Daniels
    Firmino-alli-hazard-jwp-king
    Jesus-vardy-Kane
    3.7m in bank to upgrade jwp to Pedro or sane after next week
