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

    Diego or Kane on WC?

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

      has to be Kane

    2. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Kane

    3. Rainer
      • 9 Years

      Diego.

      I'm favouring Vert, Eriksen & Alli.

      1. rdamjan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Yes, if i chose Kane there is place just for one of Eriksen/Alli

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

          Same. Long week of tinkering ahead.

      2. FFrulesmylife
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        100% costa

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

      Vardy is a better pick then costa

      1. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Vardy has a horror week 37

    5. Winston.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Kane

  2. Nomar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    I have had Walker since GW1 and never before had a player I've kept all season.

    But, after today, the course of wisdom would be to ignore sentiment and get Vert instead, right?

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

      Why does it matter if you had him all season?

      1. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Just sentimental reasons, as this is the longest I've ever had the same player for.

        Would be great to keep one player all season long, just seems a shame to get rid 3 GWs before the end of the season, but it really makes sense to get rid of Walker on my WC this week.

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

      Should be long gone. Sell!

    3. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Will probably start at West ham. It's his turn.

    Ozil* Sanchez*(C) Tadic* Hazard

    Got very lucky this week, 72 points with Jaku, Smith and (C) King delivering tons of points.

    1. Salah’s Sonnet

      great

      I don't like Huth, maybe Gabriel or a good SGW defender like Smith or Ranocchia. I also don't like Ozil.

      1. Ange Ball

    What changes need to be made??

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

      Spurs and Chelsea double ups? Risky but may pay off. Apart from that everything is great

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

    Eriksen or Hazard if you have Alli and Kane??

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Hazard

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

        Definitely

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

      Haz

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

      Hazard first name on my WC 🙂

    4. Winston.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Hazard

  8. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    75 an okay score round these parts.
    My negredo and grant to gabby and willy and benching jaku didn't work too well though.

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

      More than ok, that's one of the better ones this week.

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

      75 is mint.

  9. Siva Mohan
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    missed all the games..

    need some info and suggestions..

    1. any update on Bailly?
    2. get BDavies?
    3. keep Sane?

  10. jdp219
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    How much faith do you have in Southampton players in the DGW vs LIV and ARS? Maybe just Gabbi?

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Don't have any faith in him either.

      1. jdp219
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Yeah, pretty much what I was thinking. Just wondering if I was mad.

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

      Might bench Yoshida over Daniels and Alonso.

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

        sorry for interuption, how do you know that jesus won't rise soon?

          Went up last night.

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

            tnx

        2. DA Minnion (Former great)
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Easter was a couple of weeks ago.

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

      Stephens 1st sub. I don't think Gabbi will start both.

    4. jdp219
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      So better off getting someone in form than hoping for DGW returns?

    5. RMA
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      I have Yoshida/Cedric/Gabbi. Playing Gabbi + 1 defender GW36 and all on BB GW37.

      Can't really go wrong with 4p baseline which is what other good defenders average.

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

        the same rationale why I played de roon in gw34. 4p doesn't sound flashy, but is actually a very good safety score.

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

          A defender baseline in a dgw could well be 1 or two points depending on the scorelines, big difference between a defender in a dgw and a midfielder/attacker

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

      No faith. Nothing to play for so why will they try?

  11. RealSocialDads
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Team is:

    DDG
    Robertson Yoshida Holgate
    King Hazard Alli JWP
    Gabbi Lukaku Kane

    (Pickford Townsend Bailly Chambers)
    1FT 2.8 ITB, No WC

    Townsend + Lukaku -> Jesus and Ozil (-4) worth it? Would bench JWP

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

      Yes

  12. Reuser
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Probably need to address my defence for a hit this week:

    Bailly (5.5)
    Stones (4.7)

    0.2 ITB. Have 3 Spurs players. Other defenders: Alonso, Stephens, Robertson

    Any ideas? Gabriel the obvious choice for this gw? 0.1 off Monreal.

  13. Colonel Shoe 肝池
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    just need coutinho to deliver hatty to save my week 🙁

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

      Its Bobby's turn to get points 🙁

    2. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      He'll get one at least.

  14. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    I should be chuffed with 66 -8 with Cout to play but my transfers cost me 27 points 🙁

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

      What were they !?

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

      Transfers were for the DGWs, will get the points back! Congrats on the captain haul 🙂

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Yeah, brought them forward as I was doing it anyway next week but getting Willy and benching Jaku was a disaster

        1. The Bandit
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          And thanks 🙂

    3. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Mines cost me 21.

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

    Would you rather do:

    Sane > Sanchez, or JWP > Ozil.

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

      keep Sane

  16. The 12th Man
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    DDG
    Alonso,Yoshida,Valencia
    Sanchez,Tadic,Alli,Zaha
    Kane,Lukaku,Gabbiadini

    Foster,Bailly,T.Carroll,Gibson

    Which one for -8?
    A) Valencia,Zaha,Lukaku > Gabriel,Hazard,Jesus
    B) Valencia,Tadic,Lukaku > Cahill,Hazard,Jesus

    1. Winston.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      A

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

    No one had kept Negredo after his dgw performance had they.

    1. The 12th Man
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Sadly no

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

      Sold Siggy & Negredo for a -4 this week 🙂

    3. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      why would anyone keep him after the dgw shambles?

    4. potatoace
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      I did. Hes bench fodder for this week before WC.
      I can't even look at my team right now for fear of flying into a rage.

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

    For the rest of the season

    (A) Cabellero
    (B) Cech

    [No other Arsenal and City defensive coverage]

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

      Caballero. Cheaper. Both sides are woeful defensively, but Arsenal have tougher fixtures

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

      The Table.

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

        I was confused for a good 10 seconds. 🙂

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

      Both?

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

        I would, but I'm not on wildcard and have Pickford.

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

      Cech

  19. Jay_
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Who scores more next week?

      A) Valencia (ars) & JWP (liv, ARS) + 8 points

      B) Daniels (STO) & Jesus (CPL)

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

        A by a mile

    • Foozeball
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Wasn't able to watch the Boro game. How bad did Aguero's injury look?
      If he's out, then Jesus is as nailed as can be for City

    • thunder_mike
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      RMWCT?

      Cech
      Yoshida Gibbs Alonso
      Sanchez Hazard Alli King
      Costa Jesus Kane

      Pickford Albrighton Huth Love

      1. Ange Ball
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Nice team

    • Jet5605
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Utd's fixtures are appauling. Is it even worth getting any Utd defenders?

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

        I'm not....

      2. THFC4LIFE
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Nope getting rid of Valencia next week

    • Ange Ball
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      I can't wait for Gabbiadini double gw blank took him out for Costa I see Costs out scoring him

    • pjanns
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Which will be the wisest move? - I can't decide.

      Zaha --> Sane
      Gabbia --> Jesus

      DDG
      Stones - Davies - Yoshida
      Zaha - Sanchez - Hazard - Eriksen
      Kane - Lukaku - Gabbia

      (Pickford - De Roon - Bailly - Barragan)

      2.2 ITB

      1. Ligdon
        • 10 Years

        2

      2. El-Kloppico
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Lukaku to Jesus imo

    • Flynny
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Who is better on wildcard?

      A...sane and gabriel

      B...pedro and monreal

      Thanks

    • PlayPercentage
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      How did Lukaku play today -- is he on the beach?
      No DGW, but final three fixtures are good. He could still return some big points before the season is over.

      1. T444
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Made a few good runs. Not an awful performance

    • T444
      • 10 Years

      Any takers for Aguero and Jesus double up

    • karvs155
      • 10 Years

      OK, its time for mine draft:
      Caballero Cech

      Just reading through the chat on here during the matchday, i's hilarious how Syd and Wilshere Knowledge thought it was a Kane dive

      hahahaha. Much desperation

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

      Would you do Lukaku to Jesus in GW36 or GW37? (Both for -4)

      1. The 12th Man
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        I'm thinking about doing it this week to fund Hazard
