<h2 class="p1">Sky Gameweek 36 preview</h2>
It’s just a three-day gameweek this week as we edge closer to the end of the season. 
But it’s a big weekend in terms of transfers being made, with a few teams having great hop-on points for extra fixtures, especially some 3-0 opportunities. 
We’ve also had some more fixtures land, so we can plan for the single game days. 
<h3>Saturday's fixtures</h3>
It was supposed to be an easy Erling Haaland (£12.0m) captaincy for many against Luton but with a finely balanced Champion’s League tie against Real Madrid next Wednesday I’m not so sure. 
He may not start or minutes could be limited with the return leg in mind.

</ul>
Even Rodri (£9.4m) as a back-up option is risky given the statement midweek about how he needs a rest and that he could well get that rest this weekend.

Son Heung-min (£9.7m) could be the one if not. Tottenham Hotspur travel to St James' Park to face Newcastle in the early kick-off.
 Son is 79.1% owned so he’s an option for many. Newcastle absolutely walloped Spurs 6-1 in this fixture last season but I think the away team will win this one. 
Ivan Toney (£8.7m) could be also be a captaincy shout as Brentford host Sheffield United  - and the following week they face Luton - but unless you have an injured player it’s not a great time to bring him in.
That being said, if you still have Jarrod Bowen (£8.8m) his potential injury could present an opportunity, as could an early leak that Rodri has been dropped.

<h3>Sunday fixtures</h3>
There are three games on Sunday - Liverpool v Crystal Palace, West Ham v Fulham and Arsenal v Aston Villa. 
Mohamed Salah (£11.5m) will be a popular option as always, as will Virgil van Dijk (£9.9m). Even Darwin Nunez (£9.4m) has seen his ownership creep up to 35.6%, although frustratingly he hasn’t been the explosive asset we would have liked. 
Ollie Watkins (£9.3m) saw his ownership drop from around 90% to just 2.7% after his injury that kept him out for a game but he was back with a bang last weekend with two goals against Brentford. 
If you're flush with transfers he could be an option to bring in on Sunday, with Bournemouth next week too.

There are numerous options from Arsenal but Buyako Saka (£10.4m) and William Saliba (£9.0m) are the main two. 
Kai Havertz (£9.2m) has done well recently. In just 4.5% of teams, he has nine goals and six assists this season and has started the last nine league matches for the Gunners. He's perhaps a nice option to move to from Rodri at a similar price.
The gameweek concludes on Monday with Chelsea v Everton and there’s surely only one option - Cole Palmer (£6.5m)}. He’s absolutely made a mockery of his price tag this season and will be about £4.0m more expensive next season.

We’ve also had some fixtures for May land this week. The singles are below:
<ul>
<li class="p3">Sunday, May 12: Manchester United v Arsenal </li>
<li class="p3">Monday, May 13: Aston Villa v Liverpool</li>
<li class="p3">Tuesday, May 14: Spurs v City</li>
</ul>
Anyone thinking of eventually moving off Salah or Saka may have to change their plans based on these fixtures. Here's what I'm thinking:
