The day’s events conclude at the Liberty Stadium with Swansea City bidding to claim a vital three points against Everton having seen their relegation rivals slump to defeats.

From a Fantasy perspective, the main focus will be Gylfi Sigurdsson for the home side, with the Icelander having ended a run of five Gameweeks without points with a goal and an assist in his last two outings.

Sigurdsson heads into this match as part of 10.9% of Fantasy Premier League squads, having suffered a minor ownership loss this week. Involved in 53% of the Swans goals this season, with Paul Clement’s side surely buoyed by today’s earlier results, we will be expecting Sigurdsson to maintain his recent upturn.

For Everton, Romelu Lukaku is still part of 40.8% of FPL line-ups despite suffering a heavy loss of 153,000+ owners ahead of today’s game. The Belgian has scored just a single goal in his last eight away trips.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    My rival's bench:

    Caballero 6
    Anichebe 1
    Smith 7
    Mawson 8

    OUCH!!!

    1. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years

      Anichebe will push him over the edge

      1. For Fuchs Sake
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        He has no chance of those coming off the bench unless Stephens or Yoshi don't play

    Is Swansea's manager the guy who used to play the doctor in Neighbours?

      He had the affair with his secretary Kimberely Davis, remember?

    Caballero pickford

    1. Darth

      0.4 in the bank

    2. Deulofail

      Not enough information

      1. Darth

        What addi9tonal information would you like?

          First pet's name?

          1. Darth
            • 14 Years

            Spud

          • 10 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          If you have no BB, then you could consider sticking with what you have. Otherwise I'd just play around with what you can do, and come back with a few options

          1. Darth
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 2 months ago

            Will be playing bench boost

    3. El-Kloppico
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Ship Afobe would be my priority,,

      1. Darth
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Thinking Jesus, but would have to remove valencia and either eriksen or Alli

        1. Cheltnamshire LaLaLa
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Ditch valencia as man u are too distracted and rotation too much of a risk

  8. Crouching Tiger
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    I'm trailing in my ML and both people in front of me have transferred Jesus in. I feel like we have identical teams for the DGW. I haven't done the Jesus in transfer yet. How about... Costa... as a differentiator?

    1. Darth
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Costa could be rotated if Chelsea wrap it up early, he isn't very explosive but maybe it's worth the risk

    2. Crouching Tiger
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      What about Vardy?

      1. Darth
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah vardy is looking good

  9. Leitchy
    • 12 Years

    My bench today is Jones 15 pts , Pickford 9 pts and Defoe 6 pts .....Unbelievable

  10. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
    • 17 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Need shampton to concede
    Gabbi to go nuts
    Costa and Alonso blanks..

    I've not enjoyed a Super Sunday or MNF for months . I can't see this chafing this week. I'm fooked

    1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 17 Years

      Changing *

    2. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      That's because Super Sunday and MNF usually contain stellar teams who contain players which provide good FPL output.

      1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
        • 17 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Maybe I need to get on these. Saturday's are usually great for me oddly enough

        1. Fred54
          • 11 Years

          Don't bet against the House all the time, embrace it.

    John Stones from 0 to 25% just now

    What happened? Any news?

    1. El-Kloppico
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Has been stoned for calling Jesus a bloke..
      They didn't know he was talking about Jesus Gabriel.

    2. TorresMagic™

      City game played.

  12. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    I can't believe the season is nearly finished. Leicester only just won the league in my head. Wtf

    1. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Heh, had the same convo with my bro earlier. Seems like it was only moments ago I was wondering why I picked Redmond...

    2. El-Kloppico
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Oups.. You left your head in the past man..
      Should take it with you! 😀 😀 😀

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 17 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Ha! I can see Klopp saying this 😀

    3. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Yep, it's kind of sad but at the same time you are too busy looking into the final gameweeks to notice

      This summer will be tough without FPL as no big competition like last year

      Might have to actually go out and do stuff

  13. HurriKane
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Will Jesus start both dgw37 matches ?

    Think if Kun is back he might be at risk for one of the two games

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Only my opinion but i think pep will go 2 up top

      1. HurriKane
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        who makes way out of kdb silva sane sterling though?

    2. El-Kloppico
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Yep.. will play alongside Kun imo

    3. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      He was pretty integral to the battering today, despite getting no returns. I guess he'll play and be taken off as soon as they have a 2 goal lead.

    4. MTPockets
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Pep said he wanted to play them together for more goals, but after today who knows.

  14. Sterling is £11Mill..…
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    31 from ten with 6 left to go, wasted captain on Alli and I bench boosted this week. Need ward prowse hazard and firmino to smash it. Haven't even had a single goal yet .

    1. the snazzy viking
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      On the bright side you've got 12 more points than me whilst I have 5 players left (not including captain + DGWers)

  15. fedolefan
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Could do with Boro hiring Karanka for 1 game only in order to park the most almighty bus ever seen at Stamford Bridge

  16. Sweetboi
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Do people think Spurs will fall apart now like they do, or do we expect them to keep playing well?

    1. El-Kloppico
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Lost of motivation maybe.. but they've got nice fixtures and will make sure they end up 2nd, not like last year..

  17. Dr Kenneth Noisewater
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    For those who watched the MCI game - Was planning on Townsend > KDB anyway due to Silva's possible injury, is it still the right move over getting Silva in?

    1. El-Kloppico
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      go for it..

  18. Phil Dagger ⭐
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    early thoughts on this ?

    1) King Alli to Ndidi KDB (-4)
    2) Hazard to KDB 😳
    3) Daniels Alli to Ake KDB (-4)
    4) Keep Daniels King Alli Hazard and Forget about KDB

    1. Lucky_Z
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      4. both Alli and Hazard can outscore KDB

    The FFS Wildcard Template was a load of nonsense.

    99% of the wildcards I saw on here had all the same players.

    People (myself included) should think for themselves.

    This website should be called http://www.fantasyfootballgroupthink.co.uk

    1. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Do you have Tadic? Do you have Barnes or Maguire?

      1. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        I have Maguire. I would have got Tadic if I didn't have Gabbi.

      Where's my apology?

      1. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        For ...?

                • 9 Years
                9 years, 2 months ago

                I didn't quite understand what you meant. I thought it would be easier to apologise than go round in circles.

    3. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Going without Alexis and Kane, I didn't stand a chance of my team being well received. Hell, I haven't even got a Southampton or Arsenal defender yet (I'm scouting them this week).

      1. Fred54
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Don't have Kane either.

      2. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        You are the 1%. Well done.

    4. Ben the Mee
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Who you bring in is totally up to you, don't have to buy into the pack mentality. Everyone was telling me Sane over KDB, but I went KDB anyway. More fun with risks no?

      1. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        You are the 1%. Well done.

    5. Cheltnamshire LaLaLa
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Way too early to say. Most of the template havent even played their first game yet and have been selected to optomise both 36 and 37

      Most of the time when I go against the grain I'm silent. I've realized I don't like being critiqued for the silly (unpopular) moves I sometimes make. But I understand that that's just my ego kicking in and I accept and acknowledge it. That's how I handle things - you can try it out for yourself.

      1. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      A 2-2 match last in the running order? Should be a cracker then

        Aye.

  21. Crouching Tiger
    • 13 Years

    Hoping for a Jesus blank next DGW is probably not very popular here I assume?

    1. MTPockets
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Doesn't impact result so go for it.

  22. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 12 Years

    36 with 3 to go (including captain Haz). Am I screwed?

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)

      Not really.

    2. grumpyman

      Nah. Hazard brace and Sanchez blanks and you will get your green arrow.

      1. It’s gonna Ben Mee

    I need to win this week to win my head to head league and a few euro.
    Playing a dead team.
    Im 4 ahead with gabby ×2
    Sanchez captain ×2 and alonso.

    He has cech, Bellerin Monreal ×2
    Lalana and captain negredo.

    Who wins.

    1. FPLtfs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      who is that guy? :p You win

      1. DA Minnion (Former great)
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Worried about a couple of arsenal cleanies. If that, I'm doomed.

  24. Smarty Pants
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Ha, didn't realise that Palace's chances to go down are quite real.
    Lose to Hull next gameweek and they're in big trouble.

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Good, i hope they go down

    2. iron2010
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Not really. Hull needed a point today as they now have to win at Palace and beat Spurs. That said the squad that Big Sam has at Palace should not be anywhere near the bottom 3,

  25. Yankee Toffee
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Eriksen > KDB
    Benteke > Costa
    Valencia > Clichy/Blind
    -8

    Pending the rest of the GW games this week, of course. How does that look?

    1. HurriKane
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      why sell eriksen who has a dgw?

      he has been the most form midfielder for the past month or so. one off game and you are selling him?

      1. Yankee Toffee
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        don't know who else to drop for KDB:

        Eriksen, Haz, Sanchez, King, DeRoon

    2. Dannyb
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      I wouldn't do Tekkers to Costa, Crystal Palace still got a big fight on there hands and Costa rotation risk. The other 2 seem decent moves though

  26. Slam

    What are the chances of a DDG no show tomorrow

    1. Yankee Toffee
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Not very likely

    2. HurriKane
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      0.01 %

      romero - europa
      ddg - pl

      simple as that

      1. Slam

        Yeah, thats what I though. What a shame...

    Everyone in all of my competitive leagues has skippered Sanchez. The vast majority of the top 10k must have as well. Only the triples can really get ahead. Any success for me this week hinges on my two Saints lads. Yoshida and Gabs.

    How has Vardy not even appeared in the bps page with two assists?

      Probably because 3 other lads scored and 5 others got clean sheets

      Assists are only worth 9 bps.
