Trends From The Top A look to Gameweek 36
Welcome to this week’s edition of Trends From the Top. This week’s publication is somewhat premature as Arsenal and Hull have yet to play, but after looking at the top 10 and their respective standings, it would be surprising if major upheavals were to ensue. Our leader, Simon March of Atletico Marchid** has remained in the number one position for 12 weeks and currently has a 27 point advantage over his closest competitor. While his claim to the title is not yet confirmed as it is with Chelsea, Simon has played a cool, calm and strategic game. Let’s take a look to see what both he and the other nine top players are up to as well as look to the final few gameweeks.
Who was the most captained player by the top ten for Gameweek 35?
For gameweek 35, three different players were given the armband. Aguero (16 points) was the most popular selection with 50% followed by Hazard (12 points) at 40% and Benteke (26 points) at 10%.

Who were the most popular players chosen by the top ten for Gameweek 35?
Goalkeepers: For this past gameweek 30% of managers had either Schmeichel (7 points) or Mignolet (2 points). 20% had Pantilimon (2 points) and 10% selected Hart (9 points). Finally, one lucky soul decided a match against Manchester United was no obstacle and selected Myhill thus bringing in 17 points!
Defenders: This week we saw 12 defenders make the cut for top managers. Terry was the most popular pick as he was selected by 90% of managers while Ivanovic came in at 60%. Skrtel had 50% ownership while Morgan was selected by 40%. Bertrand had 20% while Clyne, Alderweireld, Huth, van Aanholt, Fonte, Koscielny, and Wollscheid were each selected by one manager.
Midfielders: When you look at midfielders, the top 10 managers had 9 different picks. Hazard had 100% ownership while Sterling was the next most popular pick with 80% ownership. Silva had 70% and Coutinho had 40%, Henderson and Fabregas were at 30% with Ozil and Sanchez at 20% and Ramsey at 10%. While it appears that only 1 Arsenal defender made the team for gameweek 35, you can see that Arsenal midfielders are starting to creep in, most likely for the upcoming double gameweek in 37.
Forwards: This week, the front line consisted of only 5 picks among the top managers. Aguero had 90% ownership followed by Kane at 70%, Vardy at 50%, Giroud at 30% and Benteke wrapping up the group at 20%.
In summation, the Must-Haves for top managers for Gameweek 35 were Terry, Ivanovic, Skrtel, Hazard, Sterling, Silva, Kane, Vardy and Aguero as they all had an ownership rate of 50% or higher.

Other interesting facts:
The average score for Gameweek 35 among the top 10 was 60.2 points which was 29.2 points above average of 31 by the end of Sunday’s matches.
Our top manager is from Singapore and has been in the top 10 for 18 weeks.
England was well represented with 40% ownership followed by Poland, N. Ireland, Ireland, Algeria, Pakistan and Singapore each with 10%.
If looking at GW 37 and the fact that it is a DGW for both Arsenal and Sunderland, Pantilimon and van Aanholt seem to currently be the most popular picks on the Sunderland side while Koscielny, Sanchez, Ramsey, Ozil and Giroud representing Arsenal.
Best of luck in gameweek 36!

Arsenal – Ospina, Bellerin, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Monreal, Coquelin, Cazorla, Ramsey, Ozil, Alexis, Giroud
Hull – Harper, Chester, Huddlestone, Brady, Livermore, McShane, Dawson, Aluko, Elmohamady, N’Doye, Quinn
Decent arsenal lineup! Hoping that Rambo and Alexis run riot!!
Naaah man, they’ll just assist Giroud whom will run away with the goals and bps.
Giroud limping. Awesome. NOT!!!!!!!!!!!! HAHA.
Looks like I really haven’t watched Arsenal the past few weeks, damn Ramsey is playing for upfront, almost a second striker. :rant:
Thank you FPL gods!!!
@Mitro no worthwhile FPL God would use an Arsenal player to do his bidding. 😉 I think you made a deal with the devil.
I would sell my soul for some more points
Ramsey limping off.
Ramsey back on the pitch, looks like an impact injury, he should be able to shrug it off.
Sanchez goal.
No assist since the foul was on Sanchez in the first place (I think).
Ramsey goal, ffs. :rant:
I fear I jinxed Giroud and blessed Sanchez + Ramsey. HAHA!
Evening all, many thanks to Beka for another great write-up on the top 10. Kinda rooting for #2 Jack as he’s the only person I know from twitter!
Sanchez and Ramsey, get in. Just a clean sheet for Ospina and my 3 Arsenal will be paying off.
Awesome, Giroud had 0 balls to work with. Ramsey plus Sanchez could’ve gotten more. The dynamic of the team has completely changed.
Another Sanchez goal and fucking Ramsey assist? Awesome. :rant:
HOLY F-ing SHIT!
Only regret is not captaining Sanchez!
Can’t be too picky though..
Nin……Ramsey :thumbup: that is all ……
Selfish Welsh prick. His first goal, any other mid would give the ball to Giroud.
It’s almost like he’s a striker though, haha. Both Sanchez and Ramsey killing Giroud. HAHAHA! I hated Giroud all season, don’t like the player, but I figured I would get him for the freaking DGW. Sighs. Now he does nothing. LOOK AT FORM RAZ. FFS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :rant: :rant::rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant:
