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.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    Rival has Azpi/Monreal to my Alonso/Kosc. Hoping tables are reversed this GW. Both likely to start?

      Very tight indeed, Monreal to start for sure, Azpil and Alonso may be benched to save then for FA Cup, Kos may be an injury doubt ... only time will tell

        Azpi will start to get his 100% play record. Kosc should be fine unless the want to save him for the final. He said a 3 day turn around isnt enough for the attention his achilles requires but there's a 6 day turn around before the final so it'll be a late call imo.

        Really hope Alonso isn't benched but I have no information to make a call on that one

          I own Azpil and brought him on my WC for that very reason but I am not 100% sure, but he did surprise me by playing 90 minutes x2 in the DGW so I hope you are right

          Alonso is key to Chelsea and I can see him having limited minutes.

          Arsenal will probably miss out on CL, Kos needs to nurse his injury but seems one 'tweak' away from injury and missing out on the FA Cup final ... he could conveniently be 'just not quite ready'

    Searching for good last week punts , but who to get out? I have 2 FT, 0ITB

    Hazard - Will he even play? He cab backfire big time.
    Sane - Rest?
    Eriksen - ?
    Jesus - ?
    Gabbiadini - ?
    Costa - ?

    Looking something like that Hazard/Sane ---> Coutinho/Firmino/Mahrez/Siggy or Gabbiadini to maybe Llorente. Probably Costa must stay in my team.. sorry bottomed

          I play a daily based fantasy game which involves some real money. The deadline is 1 hour before kick off. I had nailed my starting 11 with some calculated risk which had all the starting players (in real line up). I usually know the difference between fake line ups & real line ups. I check the credibility of the poster & then make my decision. Before you posted Siva Mohan came up with a fake line up I think but reading the replies to his post I quickly understood it was fake. Yours was slightly different, "confirmed" bit & no Hazard part in that triggered me so I believed you instantly (thanks to you being a regular poster). I had like 3 or 4 mins. & completely changed my team based on that line up. It's my own responsibility for my team I agree but please from next time don't post any fake line ups.

          I had to write the whole story because I hope every fake line up poster will read this. I really appreciate being a part of FFS community. Please be gentle & have fun in a manner no one gets hurt. 🙂

          Certainly, I think we were all following the herd mentality that BB was the best chip to play 37. Will certainly factor this into next season if it looks like there will be nothing to play for for a lot of teams

            Agreed, there was a HT about BB'ing outside GW37. Don't think it was considered as the herd was set all season on GW37 BB.

            Herd mentality it may be - but I'm not convinced it's a bad call. There will be many people where 37 has been the best week to BB.

      On reflection it looks that way, personally I've done ok with wc in 36 / BB In 37, I've yet to do well with the TC chip (Caroll/Sanchez) so a little annoyed with that one.

    Relieved that Liverpool, Man City and Arsenal are all still battling for a CL spot. Makes punting on Chelsea a little less risky 🙂

        Yeah, he looked great. I can do some of the following:

        King & Cahill -> Coutinho & 4.4 (Naughton to WB at home, or Aké maybe?) -4
        Haz -> Coutinho
        Sané & Cahill/Gibbs -> Someone?

        Basically, the players I feel fine getting rid of are King, Cahill, Gibbs and Sané. Any thoughts?

        A one off game at home to the second worst team in the league, which guarantees CL if they win. I expect them to smash Boro and will be bringing in Coutinho and Firmino if fit
