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

      In a vacuum, I probably wouldn't, but if you're prioritizing ML over OR then it seems like a good punt. Do you have many other differentials vs. your ML leader?

      Looks a very good team to me. Would watch spurs game if I was you to see how alli performs. If you think you have the better team in other positions wouldn't take a hit. Means you would be 14 behind

    **bottomed**

    5th in my ML, top 4 paid. 15 points behind.
    I have 2FT and I feel like I will go all in with 2 picks who need to be differential.
    So far I Have a front 7 of

    King - Sané - Pedro - Sanchez - Alli
    Kane - Jesus

    Fabregas and COutinho will probably be the two most mainstreamed transfer this GW.

    Regardless of money (I'll spew anyway) who are the 2 or 3 players you think can haul in GW38 and who are suprising in-transfers?

    my first thoughts go towards Sturridge and Vardy

    Two seasons in, is it time to accept that bench boosting for a double isn't worth planning for, and we should instead focus on waiting for the perfect time to play the TC chip? Anyone who TC'd before this week in order to BB this week has missed out on some serious Sanchez action.

      94 (101 -8) - Alli, Eriksen, Kane, Yoshi, Stephens, Bailly & Gabbi still to play.
      Would love to squeeze 150 but we will see, 7 players still to play anything could happen!

      I am clueless about who will be rotated tbh. I think Sanchez is very close to getting golden boot, so he is bound to play. I would also guess Jesus, Kane and Eriksen. Zaha/Tekkers vs United?

        I'm thinking about motivation so City/Ars/Liv have the most to play for. United will be fielding kids so Palace is a good shout!

          Yes, but Liverpool v Middlesbrough is going to end 0-0 and Arsenal vs Everton will end 3-0 (Sanchez hat trick). So no point getting Coutinho, who is already booking his tickets to Spain.

    CS: “Unfortunately we’ve still got a few injuries. Wes Morgan, Robert Huth, Danny Drinkwater, Andy King and Papy Mendy are out.”

    CS: “Huth has a chance for the last game, as does King. I won't put a time frame on Morgan, I’ll leave it to the medical dept.”
