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.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    BB active, not sure how much of a hit I want to take, which looks better?
    A) DeRoon, Robertson > Ndidi, Stephens (-8)
    B) Alli, DeRoon, Robertson > Fabregas, Ndidi, Azpi (-12)
    Thanks

  3. Twisted Saltergater
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Ozil + Alli + Brunt > Sanchez + Sané + Holding

    -8 Bit sideways?

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

      Sanchez is a must, do you have any other way to get him ithout taking a -8 hit?

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        It doesn't look like it, well without losing Hazard, but I'll have a play around.

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

    From 30k to 13k OR. Top 10k next GW I hope.

    1. the snazzy viking

  5. Paganoi
    • 11 Years

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

      Yes, especially if United go through.

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

        I have exact cash so I have to pull the trigger tonight it seems.

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

  7. ZakAFC_

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

    1pt ahead of last year's (which was my first year to FPL) total with 2GW to play 🙂

  9. Bring the Cavalry
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Up to 60k in my first season, hopefully end in the top 50k

    1. Lawrø
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Top 50k would be pretty good going for a first season 🙂

      1. Bring the Cavalry
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Thanks lawro!

    2. true_Jerry

    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    102 points and a GW ranking of 7928 has taken me to an OR of 9628, the first time I've ever been in the top 10k 🙂

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • 16 Years

      Well done! Keep it going

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

      Well done! Some consideration for the less fortunate please 😀

    3. Viper
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Well done! 🙂

    4. Hibbo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    5. Lawrø
      • 13 Years

      Nice one 😀

    6. Rhinos
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      It'll sink in soon just how meaningless it all is and you'll be chasing a higher rank like the next level of candy crush

      1. Lawrø
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        So true, we're always chasing what we don't have... I struggle to just enjoy the dance 🙂

    7. BERGKOP
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Nice work

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

    We thinking City can get 3+ vs Leicester & WBA?

    Hazard -> KDB or Eriksen -> Sane will be very tempting on Friday if Kun is ruled out.

  12. Deulofail
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Up 850k in 4 GWs. Finally a contender in my ML. The ball is rolling!

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

    Last 5 weeks: 14.5k > 3.4k
    Top 2k would be fantastic...

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

      Nice! Last 4 weeks: 1.2M > 400k. You have more to boast about though haha

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

    The highest scorer this week actually knows what he's doing 😯

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

      All these Norwegian superstars...

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

      Don't think so, he owns Gabbiadini 😆

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

    Need someone to swing an opinion for me.
    Is jaku - willy worth a -4?
    Or is walker - monreal / vertongen better?

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

      Never swing your willy in public

  16. Zebras
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Is kompany the only nailed city defender for both games?

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

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

      hundreds

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

        300?

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

          i'd settle for that

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

      More than you

    3. FPL Pillars
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      About 50, just from (C) 🙂

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

      Got 97 from 4 doublers so hoping for 150+ with 14!

    5. Firminooooo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      150

      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

  20. djapebronx
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Bottomed, any help guys?

    Cabalero Cech
    Alonso Monreal Verthongen Yoshida Stephens
    Sanchez Alli Eriksen King Pedro
    Costa Jesus Anichebe

    BB this week. Anything important to change?? And how to get KDB in??

    Mini league rival has Eriksen, so if I'm upgrading Spurs, would be him out. but would have to downgrade def somewhere, cause Can't see who would Costa be out for

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

    urghh captain next week has the smell of feast or famine 🙁

    1. Pinky Blinders
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Yes, my ML is so tight right now, it will probably make the difference.

  22. Viper
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Just inside the top 2k at 1,898. How I'd love a 3 digit finish but more importantly to catch my main rival who is 873.

    A 75 gap has become 26 🙂

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

      Good luck VIPER, hope you do it 🙂

      1. Viper
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Cheers Lizard, here to two top 1k finishes 🙂

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

    2 points off the top 1k, had I not last minute switched Monreal Ndidi to T.Carroll and Kos I'd been 5 points inside! Facing an unreal climax to the end of the season, could be euphoria or disaster!

  24. Snoop
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Will blind play?

    1. Pep says
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Unlikely, unless Mourinho sends him out against Spurs just because he knows he's gonna get beat

  25. Pep says
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Best way to free up a million folks

    a) PVA -->> Ake
    b) Daniels -->> Holgate
    c) King -->> Albrighton
    d) Kane -->> Kaku/Costa
    e) Tekkers -->> Llorente

    Leaning towards b, thoughts?

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

      Aké Gonna play ?

      1. Pep says
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Dont have a clue. Just need to free up 1m

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

      B, PVA->Ake might not be a bad shout but obviously a risk

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

    Blind Minutes For GW 37 ?

    A- 90
    B- More Than 90
    C- Zero
    Really don't know keep or sell

    1. Pep says
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Sell him

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

        Thx

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

    Pickford / Henn*
    Monreal* / Kompany / Alonso / Bertrand / Stephens*
    KDB (c) / Eriksen* / Hazard* / King* / Zaha
    Gabbi* / Jesus / Kane*

    0 itb season high of 90k

    Which is better:

    1. Haz + Hen > Ozil + Cech
    2. Eriksen + Hen > Ramsey + Cech

    Thinking I need some Arsenal cover or would you hold with what I have? Need to move tonight if I'm going to bring Cech in

  28. FPL Virgin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    OR 10,448.

    Not too shabby for a virgin 😆

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

    I need 131 points in the last 2 weeks to reach my season target.

    Can it be done?

    Have BB and a snazzy team

    1. Pep says
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      131 points? Is this accounting for the points everyone else is going to get over the next 2 weeks?

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

        No, just to reach my goal I set at the beginning of the season.

        1. Jamin
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          I'll bite: what was your target?

  30. Forza Papac
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Up to 40th in Scotland 🙂

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

    2. Jamin
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Can Scots count that high?
