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.

    Bottomed. 0 ITB. 2 FT.

    Caballero / Pickford
    Alonso / Vertonghen / Monreal / Stephens / Holgate
    Sanchez / Hazard / Eriksen / Sane / King
    Kane / Jesus / Gabbi

    Any shuffling I could do (i.e. Gabbi out) to take advantage of the last two GWs? Cheers!

    1. Geoff
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Strong team. Not sure what good Gabbi out does. I guess Haz > KDB, I don't really see many other moves.

      Gabbi + Pickford > Anichebe + Cech?

  3. Toonzie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    3 pts behind my mini league leader

    Willy - Pickford
    Monreal - Stephens - Yoshida - Holgate - Bailly
    Hazard - Alexis - Eriksen - Sane - Capoue
    Costa - Kane - Gabbi

    2 FT

    A) Haz to KDB
    B) Gabbi + Haz to Jesus and someone under 8.1m?

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

      fab?

      1. DJ1000
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Haz to Kdb

  4. Geoff
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    So early thoughts on this? BB, 0.1m, 1FT.

    Cech Caballero
    Alonso Kosc Yoshida Stephens Holgate
    Sanchez Hazard Eriksen Sane King
    Kane Jesus Anichebe

    1. Hold
    2. Hazard > KDB
    3. Other?

    Cheers in advance

    1. Pierce34
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Hold. Koscielny to Monreal depending on news maybe.

    2. RedMarks 赤的
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Hold

  5. Sweetboi
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    a) De Bruyne

    or

    b) Sané

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

      thats the question. KDB has far higher ppg and form.

      1. Pierce34
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Sane was very unlucky not to get anything vs. Palace, he looked very threatening.

    2. Geoff
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      A

    3. pj12332
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Kdb

  6. Bggz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    wally - pickford
    alonso - yoshida - bailly - davies - rano*
    sanchez - alli - hazard - king* - jwp
    jesus - gabbi - kane

    bailly probably wont play both
    Rano only has one and likely score low
    alli, kane and davies will be lacking motivation
    hazard could get rested
    anything could happen with sanchez

    i should do something about bailly and rano really but thats boring.

    0ft, 1.8 itb

    a) haz, jwp -> fabregas, kdb -8
    b) alli -> kdb -4
    c) bailly -> kompany/kos/monreal ? -4
    d) kane -> costa -4
    e) something else
    d) Nothing

  7. POGBOOM KEBABOOM
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    it is worth alli + monreal to KDB + holding for -4

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

      If you have Sane, no way for me. Monreal is a solid pick (I wish I had him).

      1. POGBOOM KEBABOOM
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        so just alli to sane? for free

        this my team..bb this week

        Cabalero Cech
        Alonso Vertonghen Monreal Stephens Yoshida
        Sanchez(C) Hazard ALLI Pedro King
        Kane Jesus Anichebe

        0 itb..cheers

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

          Decent team mate, yeah that could work. I done it but I did have three Spurs attackers so it was kind of enforced.

    2. Pierce34
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      You never know but my guess is it's not worth it.

  8. Scheister
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Really struggling with transfer decisions here. Any help is much appreciated.
    BB active.
    Hopeful of Anichebe to Jesus, then downgrading Hazard, but to who?
    Should I get Gabriel and Bailly out for -8 as well??

    Willy Pickford
    Yoshi Gabriel Alonso Bailly Stephens
    Sanchez Hazard Alli King Sane
    Kane Gabbi Anichebe

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

      haz to fab?

  9. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Anyone looking at Bellerin now? Surely nailed on for remaining fixtures with Ox out.

    1. Pierce34
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Sure, but I don't think the extra cost is justified.

    2. Scheister
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Ox out? I thought it was just a little knock

      1. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Hammy

    3. RedMarks 赤的
      • 9 Years

      Too expensive

  10. Trovsmash
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    really tempted by hazard to KDB, thoughts?

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

      im thinking of alli or haz to kdb

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

        Alli would be out for a hit & i cant justify that

  11. Bggz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    whos happy with sanchez TC?
    it was nice knowing he only had to get 9 points to not be a disaster.

    1. waldo666
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Yeah not gunna complain, could of been a helluva lot worse

  12. Caleb's Kitties
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Best mcauley replacement? 5.5 max

    Gk/Def:
    Cech pickford / Alonso vertonghen yoshida mcauley holgate

  13. Scheister
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Pedro, Tadic, or Ox for BB team this week?

  14. Moose™
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Choose 1 pls. Thanks.

    A. Monreal + Ake

    B. Mustafi + Holding

    1. Mini Mane Mo

      8 years, 7 months ago

      B

  15. RedMarks 赤的
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Bench Boost.

    Pickford // Caballero
    Alonso // Monreal // Daniels // Yoshida // Holgate
    Hazard // Sanchez // Eriksen // T.Carroll // King
    Gabbiadini // Kane // Jesus

    Which one do you prefer?
    A. Alonso+T.Carroll --> Ake+Fabregas
    B. Eriksen+T.Carroll+Daniels --> Sigurdsson+Fabregas+Holding (-4)
    C. T.Carroll+Monreal+Daniels --> Fabregas+Olsson+Stephens (-4)
    D. Something else

    Cheers all

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

      Wouldn't want to get rid of Alonso, Eriksen, or Monreal.
      D, any budget for Carroll to Pedro/Tadic or somehting?

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

      I would save before doing any of those moves tbh.

    Hi, which is the best move for me:

    A. Vardy -> Costa
    B. Jaku -> Cech

    Note: I will play h2h and my opponent have Costa (c) and Jaku.
    My other striker is Kane & de Jesus.

    Thx you.

    1. Bggz

    1. POGBOOM KEBABOOM
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      same with my question above

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

      ive not been watching, what with monreal and holding?

  18. PDM TOP 1,000 any Season rc…

    I need a cheap option for the upcoming DGW

    A) Gibbs
    B) Holding
    C) Huth
    D) Benalouanne
    E) Other suggestions

    This is for another Fantasy Football Format BTW ............

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

      B

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

      C is the only one nailed imo.

  19. Tiote on Peyote
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Does anyone know if it's possible to find out what percentage of the top 10k has their BB intact?

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

      Think it's around 50%

      1. Tiote on Peyote
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Based on?

  20. Rex Lapis
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Daniels, Eriksen, Gabbiadini > Monreal, KDB, Anichebe worth a hit?

    Willy Pickford
    Alonso Vert Yoshida Holgate Daniels
    Sanchez Hazard Eriksen King Tadic
    Kane Jesus Gabbi

  21. Toonzie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    why is fab getting game time now?

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

      His class is showing...plus he's a more attacking option for the home games. Think he'll be on the bench against WBA.

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

      Kante tigh niggle, title wrapped up, and FA cup final looming.

    3. Bggz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      hes a great player and steps in for many of the mf players who will now get rested, like haz, kante etc

  22. LADY ARWEN'S ARMY
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Is it worth :
    Alli + sane + holgate

  23. Whats the Mata?
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Hey guys!
    Would you get KDB in for Hazard (no hit) as he's a rotation risk if Chelsea win against Wba. I already own Sane and Jesus.

    Appreciate your thoughts.

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

      Ya think I would.
      I'm looking at Hazard out as well.

  24. Scheister
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Crazy to double up on Sunderland defense for BB DGW?
    Won't be using either in 38, with AOA left.

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

      They would be in for the unreliable Bailly and Gabriel.
      Who knows, may even get another clean sheet.

    2. Red Card Rockets
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Not crazy if it is all you can do with funds, since BB. Just don't skimp better options with a hope of success.

    3. Bggz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      depends what you do with the money i suppose. not needing them for 38 is a plus

  25. kaneishungry
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    0 FT, 0.3itb
    Caballero / Foster
    Alonso / Cahill / Yoshida /Lowton /Friend
    Sanchez / Hazard / Eriksen / Lanzini / King
    Benteke / Jesus / Kaku
    Thinking of using TC(Sanchez/Jesus) also got bb remaining
    Thoughts?

  26. LADY ARWEN'S ARMY

    8 years, 7 months ago

    Alli + sane + holgate to kdb , jwp and huth (-8)
    My front 8 Will be looking like this :
    Hazard , sanchez, kdb, jwp , king

    Thanks for reply ..

    1. LADY ARWEN'S ARMY
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Is it worth , thanks

    2. Red Card Rockets
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      I have Hazad and I am worried about him

    3. Red Card Rockets
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      To answer your question, I wouldn't

      1. LADY ARWEN'S ARMY
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Thanks mate ..what would you do about hazard ..

  27. Red Card Rockets
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Do we think DeGea will sit out one game this week or not since they play tomorrow?

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

      Romero is the EL keeper. DeGea is the Prem League keeper. Simps

      1. Red Card Rockets
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Okay, I'll see tomorrow

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

        “I don’t like to say this competition is for one goalkeeper, that competition is for another one,” Mourinho said. “Sergio played one match in the Premier League, David played two matches in the Europa League against Fenerbahce and against Feyenoord, Sergio played also one match in the League Cup, David played the other matches and played the final. I don’t like that complete separation."

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

      I guess Romero will start tommorow/tonight and DDG starts in PL

  28. MFC86
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Hazard to Sanchez? (I have Costa)

    Arsenal fixtures much better and Chelsea will have it wrapped up on Friday

    1. Red Card Rockets
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      I would if I could aford

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

      I'd say yes

  29. Delhidynamo
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Any reason not to do Gabriel+Blind to Holding+Monreal?

    Current team

    Willy Pick
    Luiz Blind Gabriel Stephens Ake
    Sanchez Eriksen Hazard King Sane
    Jesus Gabbi Kane

    1. Red Card Rockets
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Azpi & Monreal? Got funds?

  30. Scheister
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Two playing time questions. Maybe your guess is only as good as mine on these, but worth a shot.

    1. Bailly and Gabriel both currently in my BB squad, can only afford to get one out, which do you think will get a game or two this week?

    2. Downgrading Hazard to fund Anichebe to Jesus. Do you think Pedro or Fab will get more minutes?
