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 would love to do that but it leaves me with not quite enough funds to do Gabbi to Costa in gw37

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

    Which of the following:

    a) Monreal / Vertonghen / Azpilicueta / Herrera

    b) Gabriel / Davies / Holgate / Hazard

    The latter obviously has Hazard but just seems like it is chasing the DGW points too much with too greater risk (Gabriel and Davies just seem too risky for me and Holgate doesn't have the double gameweek).

    1. Heavy Data

    Closely to template so decent eh? Anyone see some changes?

    hmmm how does wc works?

    If i activate my Wc now and get in the players i want without press the make transfer button will the price changes affect my team?

      Need to make transfers or else they aren't in your team.

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

      The WC just prevents transfers costing you points. The way transfers work is the same as normal so price works in the same way as normal.

    3. Henning
      • 11 Years

      Ok thanx.

    Thoughts on this WC team?

    Caballero - Pickford
    Alonso - Gabriel - Yoshida - Stephens - Holgate
    Sanchez - Hazard - Eriksen - King - Lallana
    Kane - Jesus - Gabbi

    0.1m off doing Lallana > Pedro

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

      Id downgrade Lallana and upgrade defence.

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

    Which to select ?

    A Koscielny or
    B Monreal

  10. JustPark
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Sanchez > Ozil could open loads of possibilities. Worth losing him on wc?

    1. Sergeant Garcia
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      I'll probably do it, just to get something different.

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

      If Arsenal do get goals, I'd like to think it'd be because of Sanchez. If Sanchez doesn't get points, I find it hard seeing Ozil getting any. Alli/Eriksen would be the ones I would get if I downgrade Sanchez.

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

        Only have Eriksen at the moment. Double up on Spurs mid would leave no spot for Arsenal mid.

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

    Gabriel nailed or not?

    1. Yankee Toffee
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Think so now

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years

      Not confident in 37

  12. OLLY G
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Not seeing any WC RMTs with Davies. If Rose is still not fit next week, is it still too big a risk to pick him?

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

      He's quality but it has risk.

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

    What combo would you be picking from these two...

    A, Jesus - King - Gabriel

    B, Gabbiadini - Sane - Monreal

    1. liiusions

      King

      • 8 Years

      Sanchez or gabbi

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

        I strangely agree. Gabbi probably. The dgw players have lost their appeal

      2. Hibbo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Lol what are you on?

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

      Gabbi

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

      Gabbi probably.

  15. AYLD28
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Do you know what's frustrating.

    Somebody who is top of my mini league, doesn't pay attention to the DGW, doesn't follow bandwagons (Gabbi), doesn't follow the FFS Scout or any twitter pages

    And he's now 20 points clear 🙁

    I put too much time into this haha

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

      Tell me about it 😉

    2. TorresMagic™

    4. Darklord_bg

      Looks like they are playing smart 😉

  16. bigbudgie
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Kieran Gibbs, talk to me. 2 straight starts. Worth a punt?

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

      I wouldn't, could be dropped soon and Monreal put back as LWB.

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

        Gabriel then

  17. _Gunner
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Bench on please:

    A- King
    B- Sane
    C- Jesus
    D- JWP

    1. DV8R
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      i don't think I could... JWP probably?

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

        D

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

      Hard to tell now. Maybe City's press conference will tell if one of them gets bench. I'd bench JWP at the moment though.

    2. Hibbo

      Hard to know where you've spent the money tbh.

  20. Proietti
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    a) Costa and Holgate

    or

    b) Jesus and Azpilicueta

    1. Stinglikeabee

  21. Stinglikeabee
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    My forward line is

    Kane Costa and gabbi

    After this weekend I'm tempted to swap gabbi for Jesus.

    Yes or no

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

      Yes

    2. Teddy Brewski
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Of course, but surely they aren't a straight swap with 2.2 difference?

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

        Yes. It's a straight swap. Had the funds aside to bring Sanchez in for couthino after this GW

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

      Yay

    4. JustPark
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Why not. Better team.

    5. WVA

    B. Gabbi + Monreal

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

      B is more nailed on but A probably has higher potential.

    2. bigbudgie

      A

    3. Stinglikeabee

    Anyone fancy feeding back on my WC team?

    Any suggestions on the best way to get a Chelsea defender into the team with £0.7itb? Vertonghen > Azp?

    Cabellero, Pickford
    Vertonghen, Blind, Gabriel, Yoshida, Stephens,
    Sanchez, Hazard, Alli, Albrighton, King
    Kane, Jesus, Gabbiadini

    BB'ing in 37

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

      Blind my only worry. Chelsea light too

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

        Yeah, Blind > Chelsea would be ideal but £0.5 short of bringing Azp in.

  25. brenks
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Any advice how to improve this team? Currently on WC but don't have BB, only TC left
    0.3 itb

    Caballero / Jakupovic
    Walker / Stephens / Yoshida / Holgate / Ake
    Hazard / Sanchez / Alli / King / Carroll

  26. D0GS B0110XS FC

    whos the best arsenal defender to bring in?

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

      None of them, all shite.

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

      Monreal.

  27. andymck
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    The good news is I have Davies coming off the bench. The bad news is that Negredo is staying put there.

  28. Eden ACCOUNT CLOSED
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Livid about changing captain from Kun to Kane at 13:59

  29. For Fuchs Sake
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    How the hell can I decide between Alli and Erik? Apart from a coin toss that is 😉

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

      Easy...get both 😀

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

    Thoughts on triple Spurs attack?

    Also, would be getting Ozil on a 1 week punt, then switching to Alli/Eriksen be a good idea?

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

      After today's game doesn't look like a bad idea.

      Only ManU game will be a challenge.
