Dugout Discussion – Tuesday

Double Gameweek 37 enters its fifth day of action this evening, serving up two more fixtures to entertain Fantasy managers.

Arsenal welcome Sunderland to the Emirates in the 7.45pm kick-off as Alexis Sanchez looks to add to his goal and assist haul in Saturday’s demolition of Stoke.

Captained by 10.6% of FPL managers, the Chilean is the second most popular armband pick for the Gameweek. As expected, he has shrugged off a leg problem to start against the Black Cats, while fellow weekend scorers Mesut Ozil and Olivier Giroud are also named in the first XI as Arsene Wenger’s side attempt to keep their hopes of a top-four finish alive.

Man City entertain West Bromwich Albion in the second match of their Double Gameweek at 8pm.

Sergio Aguero returns to the starting XI alongside Gabriel Jesus as Raheem Sterling drops to the bench for the home side. The Argentine produced zero points as a sub at home to Leicester on Saturday, though boasting a 17% ownership, he is City’s most captained player (8.1%) for their pair of fixtures.

The top transfer target for Double Gameweek 37, Jesus rewarded his 217,000+ new owners with an eight-point haul against the Foxes, while Leroy Sane’s 7% backers will be hoping for more of the same after he delivered a season-high 11 points in the weekend win.

      I've got more or less the same team, and I'm in the same boat as you.
      I think I will end up with A, but I'm not sure. I don't fancy that hit if Hazard should do anything.
      But we might risk Hazard wont even play.

    8 points off Top1k with Kane, alli, Davies, Cedric, Stephens, gabbi and bailly to go....

    Decent chance I'll break into top 1k?

    Im interested to know what peoples success with hits is like. With that in mind, ive tallied up mine as follows:

    Current rank: 2934

    4pt - 8 green, 2 red
    8pt - 3 green, 3 red
    12pt(!) - 1 green

    Overall it seems ive done alright out of the hits this year, certainly 4pt ones seem to have served me very well. Not sure if anyone else can be bothered to look at theirs (doesn't take long) but certainly be interesting to see.

    Kane brace. Oh yeh!!

  9. rsm12345

    Am 30pts off leader and looking to make three changes.

    Caballero

    Alonso, Cahill, Yoshida

    De Bruyne, Coutinho, Sanchez (c), King, Sigurdsson

    Jesus, Gabbadini

    Subs: Hennessey, Fuchs, Holgate and Rashford

    Would of picked Kane and Spurs but leader has these and want to be different as am not going to claw anything back. Also took out Costa as not sure he will play. Any thoughts appreciated, cheers!

    Anyone with TC left like me?

    Who gets your armband?

    Sanchez
    Kane
    Cout
    Other?

    Leaning towards Kane purely based on golden boot but more upside to a midfielder?
