Saturday’s action concludes at the bet365 Stadium now as Stoke go head-to-head with Arsenal in the evening kick-off.

With four of the top five captains for Double Gameweek (Diego Costa, Romelu Lukaku, Sergio Aguero and Eden Hazard) failing to find the net already, Alexis Sanchez’ 10.6% armband backers will be hoping he can build on his midweek strike at Southampton.

Indeed, with a home encounter against Sunderland also to follow in midweek, the Chilean has been triple-captained by 70,403 in the penultimate round of fixtures.

Handed a third straight league start, the Gunners’ Rob Holding was the fourth top transfer target for Double Gameweek 37 – over 100,000 FPL managers drafted in the summer signing from Bolton as a budget-friendly route into a rearguard that’s delivered three clean sheets in their previous four.

Marko Arnautovic looks the man most likely to breach the Arsenal defence. The Potters’ wide man has played a part in four of his side’s last five strikes, serving up a goal and three assists over the last four Gameweeks.

    Congratulations Man City ladies.

    If Wenger wanted to rest Alexis, then SUN (H) is the perfect fixture. Will be ready for crucial Everton home game.

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

      Sunderland is as crucial, probably even more

      They have to win and can't take anything for granted

      Plus Sanchez always wants to play

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

      Alexis will rest Wenger if that happens

    3. Rolls-Royce

      Thats what I've been saying myself as a non-capper

      Wenger will never rest Sanchez even if he is crocked. I'm not even an owner and I recognise that.

    5. Vinyl78LP
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      No win against SUN means the Everton game isn't crucial, its a dead rubber?

    6. Hibbo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Wise up would ye.

    7. NATSTER
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Sanchez is now 2 goals behind Lukaku. He may have eyes for that and want to play.

    8. Granville

      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years

      and it's crucial Arsenal get into the Champions League so that Wenger retains his job. All opposition fans should be supporting this.

  3. Kloppen Schloppen

    Arsenal on 69 points. Dinner for two.

    I can officially confirm Giroud was on performance enhancing drugs while playing Stoke, deduct him 15 baps @FPL 😉

  5. Sims

    Sanchez 34 points on TC

    Could have been a real monstrous TC but looks like he'll miss the next game 🙁

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      he wont miss next game, this is Alexis Sanchez....

    2. Point-one short
      • 9 Years

      34 points on TC? You sure about that?

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

        36 sorry

    3. Vinyl78LP

  7. The Mandalorian

    Sanchez plays when he's injured so its not great news that he asked to come off

  8. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years

    1. sminkypinky

  11. Rainer
    • 9 Years

  12. Clifford☯
    • 9 Years

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years

      I read that as beach 🙂

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

        works as well 🙂

      2. Old Bull
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

  14. Syd.
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Sanchez doesn't look too concerned about his injury

  15. BlzE_94
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Sanchez is fine, he's all happy and smiley on the bench.

  16. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years

    Alexis signalising he loves Arsenal and will never leave.

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

      That's bull. Arsenal don't deserve him.

  17. tm245

    Complimenting Mark Hughes for where he is standing...

  18. walkman666

    Alexis on bench being very silly, cute, and Alexis ish. If he was really hurt bad, he'd be in the training room getting treatment.

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

    Non Sanchez owners saying he's laughing because he knows he's getting a rest v Sunderland

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Nah. He's laughing because he thought he had an injury, but didn't.

    2. walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Rest in a very significant game? Seems unlikely. If he's hurt, that is one thing, but a rest, now? With the season on the line?

  20. Sebbo29
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Alexis having a laugh on the bench. Cannot be too serious then

  21. Malcolm Tucker for England …
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    what's the bps uplift for winning goal?

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

      Not enough to catch Giroud

      1. Malcolm Tucker for England …
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        ozil to catch bellerin?

  22. Salah’s Sonnet
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Sanchez laughing it up on the bench, he's fine, will play next game.

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

    Alexis Sanchez is indestructible. 90 minutes against Sunderland coming up.

    1. Camp No No
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Nah, he'll get some rest after his hat trick. Hopefully will get the 60 minutes before being subbed off though.

  24. tm245
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    More scummy behavior, what a surprise.

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

      Stoke are disgusting.

  25. We Will Klopp you
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    More chance of Sanchez resting Wenger than the opposite happening, c'mon guys it's Alexis Sanchez we're talking about, even if Wenger wanted to rest him Sanchez wouldn't let it happen

    Anyone's BB worse than this?
    Pickford, Holgate, Holding & Gabbiadini = 3pts

    The guy I'm desperately trying to catch has Alexis (TC) so it's taken the joy out my regular captaincy 😆
