Match Details

How did last week's team do? Triple Arsenal defence paid off with three clean sheets, there were 10-pointers from Noah Okafor and James Hill, plus a goal for captain Igor Thiago. That resulted in a strong 64 points.

Sport's FPL team of the week for double gameweek 36Image source, SportKeeper and defenceBart Verbruggen, keeper, £4. 5m and Jan Paul van Hecke, £4. 6m, both Brighton - Wolves (h)Wolves lost their past two away games 3-0 and 4-0 and have only scored seven goals on the road all season, so a bet on Brighton's defence is a logical one.

Nico O'Reilly, Manchester City, £5. 2m - Brentford (h) and Crystal Palace (h)There's an argument for going double City defence this week but, given goal difference might decide the title, this team has the upside of two attacking assets from Pep Guardiola's side. If you're only picking one City defender, then it has to be goalscoring, bonus-grabbing O'Reilly.

Reactions and Expectations

Jaydee Canvot, Crystal Palace, £4. 5m - Everton (h) and Manchester City (a)I'm not that worried about more potential Palace rotation because, if they reach the Uefa Conference League final on Thursday, they then have three weeks before the big game. And rotating hasn't really worked for Glasner either, with his side having earned just a point from their past three games.

They will be looking a little nervously at the relegation zone. Either way, Canvot has started eight straight games and tends to get defensive contribution points (defcon), earning them in five of those matches. Gabriel, Arsenal, £7.

2m - West Ham (a)Arsenal's defence is on a roll so Gabriel has to be in the team of the week again. Four clean sheets in their past six and the Brazilian had an xG of 0. 64 against Fulham last time so you could say he is due a goal.

The story has climbed to the top of the sports agenda, with fans and analysts following closely.
