Gameweek 36 finally comes to an end this evening as Southampton entertain Arsenal at St Mary’s.

Alexis Sanchez will again be the focus of most managers’ attentions. Sitting in over 27% of FPL squads, the Chilean was the most captained player (11.2%) in the round of fixtures but a blank at home to Man United in his first match of Double Gameweek 36 means he has now netted just once in seven league appearances.

Meanwhile, his team-mate Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain looks to add to a pair of assists in the 2-0 weekend win over Jose Mourinho’s side. The Gunners’ wing-back has been drafted in by over 15,000 FPL managers this week for a Double Gameweek 37 against Stoke and Sunderland.

For the Saints, Manolo Gabbiadini was the fourth most transferred in player ahead of last week’s deadline, with over 108,000 taking the plunge.

Yet a blank against Liverpool took his run to one assist in five, as Claude Puel’s defence racked up the points at Anfield instead thanks to a fourth clean sheet in seven.

Thanks to his spot-kick stop away to Liverpool, the Saints’ Fraser Forster leads the way among the Double Gameweek contingent on 16 points ahead of tonight’s 7.45pm encounter.

  2. Lizard Lips

    Koscielney over Holding/Monreal backfired!

    Might have to get rid of Alexis, looks so poor out wide. Alexis to KDB/Sane potentially.

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

      True. Starting to think just one game from Hazard is better than two for Sanchez. Such a tough call who to ship for KDB.

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

        Not true looking at Hazard's recent games. He's unpredictable when it comes to FPL.

    Gabriel to come on or stay on the pine?

    1. Jigger & Pony
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      Hope he comes on

    2. Redranger
      • 10 Years

      Probably come on for about 4 minutes to annoy everyone.

    Spurs result meant a lot more questions than I planned. Playing BB chip this week.
    Foster / Jaku
    Baines / Alonso / Stephens / Amat / Ake
    Eriksen / Alli / Sanchez / King / Ndiaye
    Afobe / Lukaku / Kane
    1FT; 0.4 ITB; no WC

    1) Afobe > Vokes
    2) Afobe, Amat > Barnes, Holgate (-4)
    3) Afobe, Alli, Amat > Jesus, Matic, Holgate (-8)
    4) Afobe, Alli, Amat > Gabbi, Sane, Holgate (-8)
    Other thoughts more than welcomed.

      Ake may or may not get time.
      Think Amat and Ake need to go and downgrade who ever you want to upgrade them.

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

        Sorry did not know Afobe was dead. I don't know lots of hits required.

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

        Ake looks more likely, especially if Alonso doesn't play both in the DGW. Afobe and Amat are the definites.

          • 8 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Afobe is a good shout if he isn't injured? Much better then this anichebe bs

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

            Ugh. Anichebe? That would only be a consideration if I absolutely needed the extra funds. But I don't.

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

          If you are happy Ake will play take a punt on option 3. Everyone will be having Jesus.

    2. Woy of the Wovers

      Never seen one of those. How do they move?

      1. Hotdogs for Tea
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Slowly

        1. Woy of the Wovers
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Then how did it managed to steal a wheelchair?

          1. Fred54
            • 10 Years

            Great healthcare plan.

          2. Hotdogs for Tea
            • 10 Years

            Very slowly

  7. Sterling is £11Mill..…

    Anyone else think Southampton are de evolving. They are getting worse, next season they will be fighting for survival at this rate. Puel is not a good manager

    1. Lizard Lips
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      to be fair his team keeps getting taken apart!

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

        I don't think puel will be there next season tbh

  8. Lizard Lips
    • 13 Years

    Bookies thought Saints Arsenal would be goals galore, more like snores-alore!!!

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

      Which of the following most likely to get both games in GW37?

      A. Gibbs
      B. Holding
      C. Neither

      1. Lizard Lips
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        A I would say, but I am no good at these things. I have Koscielney!

        1. Lizard Lips
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Maybe B actually as Wenger was blowing smoke up his arse the other day and I can see him wanting to keep the kids momentum up.

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

            Kos only has a knock though and Mustafi back so who knows. I think I would favour Gibbs getting more time.

      Zut alors!

  9. DR0GBA

    Watching the CL. What's the PL game looking like so far?

    1. Lizard Lips
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      making me sleepy. it is awful.

    2. Alan The Llama
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Dull

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

      Like most PL games of late, shite.

    4. Debauchy
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      A grim grind

    5. Debauchy
      • 12 Years

      Gabi sot from 2 yards

  10. The Big Fella
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Well, another 6 points from Sanchez and 2 CS from Cech and Yoshida to come then........

  11. Toast
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Didn't realise that Hazard plays on Friday and Monday in GW37. If they tie up the title in the first game surely that must mean a rest for Haz?

    1. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Yes

    2. Fred54
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Might go crazy and take Sanchez and Hazard both out!

    3. The Big Fella
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Hence why I am debating getting rid.... for whom though!!!!??

  14. Davido989
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Lucky enough to catch the game. Stephens is really good isn't he. Saints production line is the best in England.

  15. Hotdogs for Tea
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Sanchez gettingbin the box quite a lot

  16. BadgersBoys

  18. Old Man

    • 14 Years

    Hey chaps - switch to the ECL match - at least that looks interesting. This will have the secondary effect of sucking the ball into the net in Southampton. Yeah right.

      • 8 Years

      Gabby is one of those players who does well in his first few epl games and then turns into rondon, you all fall for it

  27. liiusions

    30 minutes gone and no sign of Gabriel 😎

    1. dvdguy
