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.

    Current rank 22k.

    BB 37 team as is -

    Cech Caballero
    Cahill Azpilicueta Gabriel Yoshida Stephens
    Sanchez Hazard Alli Sane King
    Kane Jesus Anichebe

    Any chance of making top 5k?

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

      Maybe 10k.

    2. SouthCoastSaint
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      You don't really have any differentials to be honest... maybe inside top 10k. Ask someone for current points so you can see how far away you are

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

        Yeah.Most team will similar player.

    3. pundit of punts
      • 12 Years

      Yeah 10k looks more realistic.

      Cheers guys.

      Ditch him and Rashford

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

        For who?

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

      Dier out.

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

        Not a priority really, may swap him to Albrighton though

    3. Peter Russo
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      ditch blind too. United players are not safe.

  4. dhamphiir
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Gabriel + Bailly --> Smith + Monreal for FT?
    A. Yes
    B. No

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

      Get Blind in for Bailly?

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

      If rest of team is good then yes

    3. Ibracadabra
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Yes if UTD win tomorrow night that looks sensible.

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

    Up to 67k and I had no Sanchez. Decent?

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

      From?

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

        80k.

        Was up to 56k before tonight so an 11k drop.

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

          Nice.Do you still hve TC left?

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

            Nope. Have BB though thats it. Will be posting team in a second, need help actually

    Kosc + (1)Alli / (2)Eriksen (-4) >

  7. Knowledgeable meerkat
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Sitting at 18k currently, having been 19k the week before and 20k the week before that... Slowly climbing

    Any idea what percentage of the current top 20k or so have used their bench boost?

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

      Think someone said top 10k 40%

  8. Magic Bean
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Bring in
    A) Holding
    B) Holgate

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

      B more nailed I think

      But A is a shout and could really pay off

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

      Holding. He'll definetly play 1 game at least

    3. Magic Bean
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Like Daniels this week, Holgate could get a 1 or 2 pointer early in the GW. Holding for the double is tempting

  9. Joyce1998
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    best city defender at moment to get?

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

      Clichy or Kompany

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

      Id prefer Caballero & get arsenal def

  10. Ravager
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Weird. Thought one of my MLs was out the window, leader had a 100+ point gap before this week and now it's down to 50? Should I bother?

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

      Yea bother

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

        Tight because I wanted to take a few hits this week. Hoping he does as well to cover. Didn't expect to get any closer honestly

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

          After a 17 point lead entering tonight I am now 14 behind.

          Thinking of -8 too. Rival played WC last week and is using BB this week as well.

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

            I'm lucky that he's already used his BB and used his TC this week on Hazard. So if I nail this week, I'd probably drop that gap considerably.

            Yeah -8 is my limit

    Is N'Diaye > Capoue worth a hit, on Bench Boost...?

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

      Can you get anyone better?

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

        nope, have exact money

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

      Albrighton maybe, not Capoue!

      Tom Davies or Tom Carroll is a better option than Capoue.. (blinkers)

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

        just looking at doubles..

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

          I can see since your considering Capoue! I wouldn't waste my 4 points tbh

  13. DAN DARE
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Any thoughts on Hazard and Ndidi to Fabregas and Sane for BB (Jesus and Costa other Che/MC attackers)?

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

      Nope keep them

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

      Considering the same move , have albrighton instead of Ndidi and hazard costa

  14. InvertedWinger
    • 10 Years

    Thoughts on A) Son and B) Redmond C) Pedro DGW minutes?

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

      ACB

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

      Willian or Fab best options in this price range

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

        Interesting..

  15. semiconductor

    What do u think guys? Should i do this for -8?

    Blind+Gabriel+hazard+WP to
    Holding+benaloane+KDB+Pedro

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

      Nope

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

    Name a dgw midfielder no more than 6mil? ,(not Albrighton). .. or is there one?

    Already have 3 s'hampton and City players...

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

      Not a lot tbh. Matic?

      Lanzini would be a good puny!

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

      Ndidi

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

        Double Leicester midfield, nah!

    Should i bring KdB in for -8 or let it be?

    1. IRBOX ⚽
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Facing this same dilemma.. might just let it ride and hope the spurs boys are still motivated.

  18. ★Kuntheman★
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Who are we captaining for the DGW? I'm thinking of going with Jesus.

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

      Thing about Sanchez is those 2 potential clean sheet pts, extra goal point and bonus points. Adds up fast when you double them.

      1. ★Kuntheman★
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Makes sense, however one goal isn't enough to convince me. Didn't even captain him this week, which I do regret, but he's been poor and so have Arsenal...and they don't have much to fight for except for the FA Cup

        1. Ibracadabra
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Can still make 4th if they go 9-for-9 and LIV only go 4-for-6 so he should play every game.

          1. ★Kuntheman★
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 7 months ago

            You think Liverpool will go 4-for-6? I think it's a relatively easy schedule consider MID's been relegated and I don't think WHM's good enough, despite recent form

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

      Alexis!

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

      Reluctantly kept Sanchez and now he gives back for patience...was on Jesus... now maybe Sanchez

    4. Bojan ye gud ting
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Currently on Jesus. Considering Gabriel - Monresl & Sanchez - KDB for -4 and captioning KDB

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

    Is it the general consensus that (when on bench boost)...

    If a player is injured it is worth transferring them for a hit to a nailed player because they will at least make up the -4pts (by playing twice)?

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

      Yes

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

      Yes as long as your not getting a Watford defender or something stupid like that!

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

      Yes. Of course theye could then get sent off, etc but the upside is much greater

    4. Ibracadabra
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Yes.

  20. AF90
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Shall I just keep Walker & accept a SGW for him?

    Have Heaton & Grant to swap for Caballero & Cech plus Lukaku to Jesus to fund it so already on -8.

  21. jia you
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Nice to wake up to a Sanchez haul and Mawson points obtained, 81 points and up to 7k 🙂
    Guess Gabriel has to be shifted for a hit now (for BB) that Mustafi is back guys?

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

    Already - 4
    It worth to ...
    A- Hazard > KDB for -8
    B- Hazard & Gabbi > Pedro & Jesus for -12

  23. bennyp
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Gabbi to troll all sellers this week? That's the way it works guys.

    1. Jamin
      • 15 Years

      Agree. Is the easier DGW too.

    Did a manager ever win fpl that started in gw2?

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

      You should be first one.

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

        I never started a season in gw2

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

      Not sure but there's 7 people ahead of you currently

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

        Sorry. This is a lie. Don't ask, lol

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

        Why start in gw2?

        If those guys had the gw1 points they would be in with a shot

    3. Ravager

      Wow. Just checked your team. Amazing rank. Great work!

  25. Ravager

    Pickford (Hennessey)
    Stephens Huth Vertongen (Holgate Bailly)
    Alli Hazard Sanchez King (De Roon)

    Limited funds but willing to take some hits, any suggestions? Was thinking

    1. Lav
      • 9 Years

      That seems your best bet

        • 10 Years

        Cheers. It's gonna need to be. 68 point gap to make up.

    2. Ibracadabra

      Excellent.

      1. ★Kuntheman★
        • 10 Years

        Cheers. 68 points to make up, this is season defining.

  27. KUN+10
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Hello folks! How is this team looking? No BB here

    Pickford (jaku)
    Alonso Kosc Yoshi (Davies, Wasi)
    KDB Hazard Sanchez Sane King
    Jesus Kane (Gabbiadini)

    1. ★Kuntheman★
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      I'd start Davies over Yoshida, rest is pretty good. What's the point of benching Gabbiadini without bench boost?

      1. KUN+10
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Rather play king over him. Wha do you think?

        Start Davies over yoshi? or wait for news on Kosc?

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

        Because he had a double this week and King still outscored him!
