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

    Bailly ... thought I was going to keep him
    Now looking at > Stephens (better wk37 - safer then Kompany for wk 36)
    Need to decide tonight before he rises ~ also gives me option on Eriksen > KDB for wk37

    1. Yankee Toffee
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      do it.

  2. Sergeant Garcia
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Which combo?

    A) Costa & Sané
    B) Jesus & Eriksen

    1. Hurricane Gilbert
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      B

    2. UnitedFan51
      • 9 Years

  3. Hurricane Gilbert

    8 years, 9 months ago

    Good evening. Zaha & Hennessy to Sánchez and Cech (-4)? Got no WC left

    Henn / Pickford
    Alonso Vertonghen Yoshida (Bailly, Gibson)
    Hazard Alli Zaha King JWP
    Kane Gabbi (Benteke)

    1. Sergeant Garcia
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Wouldn't bring in Sanchez for a hit now tbh. Benteke > Jesus for me.

    2. UnitedFan51
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Sanchez has been poor for his price. Maybe Benteke to Jesus/Aguero instead.

    3. Hurricane Gilbert
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Yes but he can still explode and will be heavily captained

    4. AYLD28
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      I have Sanchez but honestly owning him is rubbish at the minute. I don't even think il captain him next gameweek.

      I'm looking at Sanchez > KDB in 37 even though his fixtures are nice because arsenal are so poor.

      Saying that I think defensively they will do well in the DGW

      United 0-0
      Southampton 0-0

      Could happen.. easily

      1. AYLD28
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        So maybe Jesus + Cech in

    Thoughts on this WC team? Cheers

    Caballero / Pickford
    Alonso / Monreal / Yoshida / Vertoghen / Gabriel
    Hazard / Sanchez / Alli / Pedro / King
    Kane / Jesus / Gabby

    1. Sweetboi
      • 10 Years

      Nice

    2. Digital-Real
      • 9 Years

      Very nice

    3. DV8R
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Sounds like a benching nightmare for next week

    4. Hurricane Gilbert
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Looking awesome

    5. Junior ⚽
      • 10 Years

    6. _Ninja_
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Cheers all, yeah benching problem but gotta be done for in time for BB in 37.

    Bottomed:

    Any advice for this WC team?

    Cech - Caballero
    Kompany - Gabriel - Yoshida - Huth - Holgate
    Alli - Sanchez - King - Hazard - Albrighton
    Kane - Jesus - Gabbiadini

    1. UnitedFan51
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      I think you need Chelsea cover in defence. Very nice fixtures ahead.

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

    Doing Lukaku to Jesus but considering a defensive transfer for a hit

    Would you rather start
    A) Cahill -4 (in for Valencia)
    or B) Stephens free (have Yoshida)

  7. UnitedFan51
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Please rate my wildcard team

    Cabellero de Gea
    Gabriel Stephens Alonso Cahill Davies
    Alli Hazard King Ozil Redmond
    Kane Jesus Rashford

    1. AYLD28
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Cahill is knee jerk and I like it

  8. JJeyy
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Negredo + Valencia + Gibson ---> Jesus + Stephens + Ranocchia (-8)

    Yes or No?

  9. StalkingDwarf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    I've forgotten what it was like to have a template team in place.

  10. FPL Pillars
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    What's better

    Tadic and Firmino
    Sanchez and Morrison

    One would be benched w36 and BB 37

    1. StalkingDwarf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Firmino and Sanchez imo

      1. FPL Pillars
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Not enough funds

        1. StalkingDwarf
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          Whoops read that question completely wrong lol. Sanchez and Morrison.

    2. UnitedFan51
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Ozil and Tadic/Firmino

  11. Junior ⚽
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Costa or Gabbiadini

    1. Hurricane Gilbert
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Costa for sure but depends on the rest of the team

  12. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Is the transfers page freezing for anyone else on Chrome? Been struggling with it for a couple of weeks now.

    1. StalkingDwarf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Do you have BetterFPL installed? The DGWs bugged the extension out. Try disabling/uninstalling it.

    2. makaveli123
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      No. Working as normal on both PC and Android.

      It was playing up on Saturday when I started my WC. iPad sorted it.

  13. Still Unsure
      8 years, 9 months ago

      What an utterly disgusting weekend of FPL.

      1. Hibbo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Sure it's nearly finished.

    • Tomas Brolin ate all Depays
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Which clubs with a dgw in 37 have the best fixtures and also have something to play for (eg aren't already at the beach)

      1. StalkingDwarf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        City/Arsenal fit that category, but City is a rotation minefield and Arsenal form is shocking.

      2. Hotdogs for Tea
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Top 6

    • FPL Maldini
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Likely JWP will play both games?

      Southampton looked poor without him

      1. Hurricane Gilbert
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        No but I think he will feature in both

    • DR0GBA
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Sorry for another RMWCT, but what do people think of this WC?

      Courtois - Caballero
      Holgate - Monreal - Vertonghen - Smith - Stephens
      Carroll - Alli - Alexis - Hazard - King
      Jesus - Kane - Gabbi

      £0.1m

      Time for some Arsenal FanTV!

    • For Fuchs Sake
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Downgrading Sanchez would sure solve a lot of WC issues! Could backfire horribly though.....

      1. DV8R
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Massive score last season in a DGW as well... I remember triple captaining him for that

    • F4L
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Kaku ➡ Jesus done for FT

      Now then, could do Gabbi ➡ Costa for a -4, or Zaha ➡ Sanchez for a -4, or neither; whats the best option? Cheers

    • Tomas Brolin ate all Depays
      • 13 Years

      How many Ars and SOU you going for on your WC ?

      1. Ibracadabra
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Just the 4 I own, had planned bringing in a 5th for a FT this week but instead will do Benteke -> Jesus for free most likely, depending on Aguero groin injury and Manchester United Europa League result/injuries.

      2. For Fuchs Sake
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        2 and 3 I think

        I'd boot Valencia first.

      Is Benalouane nailed on?

      1. makaveli123
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        No

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

        Yes as Morgan got a hamstring injury vs Atletico

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      For the wildcard:

      a). Gabriel/Gibbs - Costa - Gabbiadini

    • Yankee Toffee
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Do we think Ake will get some min now over DGW 37?

      1. Ibracadabra
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        depends on severity of Luiz injury. I think he will start at least one in 37 or 38 if TOT slip up and CHE win title.

      2. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Injury or title won needed.
        Luiz should be fine.

      3. Yankee Toffee
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        What do we think the UTD back 4 will be for prem games now?

    • FPL Maldini
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Is JWP to Xhaka a waste of a transfer?

      1. StalkingDwarf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Very much so imo.

      2. Yankee Toffee
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        I'd say so yes

    • Toure The Route
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Hey all
      I confirmed a couple of transfers and took a -8 while messing with the WC draft ...but forgot to press the WC activate button before confirming the transfers .
      If I activate it now, will my hits be reset ?
      Messed up.

      1. StalkingDwarf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Yeah it'll cancel out the hits.

        1. Toure The Route
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          Thanks , I was trying to be wary of this but in my hurry to catch the price rises, turns out my page had reloaded again without having me pressed the WC button .

      2. Iceball
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Make more transfers and press WC button

        1. Toure The Route
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          Thanks , that's exactly what I have just did after.

      • 13 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Where can I find ownership of top 10k players? I got to 28k in GW24 and have been hovering within a few k of it for 11 weeks now (highest rank of 16k). Need some differentials on my WC. Just over 30 points to make up in 3 weeks.
