Dugout Discussion – Southampton vs Arsenal

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

    One thing I have learnt this season, keep the faith with Hazard. The moment you get rid of him, he will get a haul.

        Well your right, but I guess people gotta look at who they're chasing in mini leagues right now and take a chance or not. We're down to the wire.

    Koscielny + King -> Holding + Sane for -4 hit

    My team will be
    Caballero
    Stephens Monreal Alonso
    Sanchez Hazard Sane Alli
    Jesus Costa Kane
    (Japu Holding T.Caroll Kingsley)

    No Bench Boost so full power on first eleven

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

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

      I'd get Gabriel out, after Mustafi went straight back in the team ahead of him.

      Pedro might get more minutes but I fancy Cesc to get more points.

          If Koscielny is back then it'll be either Holding or Gibbs who drop out of the XI. At this point it's all just speculation as to which one it'll be so wait for the Arsenal presser and more team news. My gut at the moment says Gibbs is the one to drop out but it's a tough call.
