The first of seven days of double Gameweek 37 action gets underway at Goodison Park this evening as Everton take on Watford in the 7.45pm kick-off.

Sold by more Fantasy Premier League managers than any player since last Friday’s deadline, the Toffees’ Romelu Lukaku looks to extend his three-goal lead over Harry Kane in the race for this season’s Golden Boot.

The Belgian collected 3% of votes in our Captain Poll – more than any single-Gameweek player – and has already returned 12 points against the Hornets back in December.

Chelsea head to The Hawthorns for an 8pm kick-off knowing that a win over West Brom would clinch the Premier League crown.

Essentially, we’re looking for the Baggies to do us a favour and keep the title race alive, forcing Antonio Conte to field his big-hitters in Monday’s plum home clash against Watford and giving Spurs extra incentive in their final match at the Lane against Man United on Sunday.

Despite those concerns over potential rotation, both Eden Hazard (14%) and Diego Costa (9%) found a place in the top five of our Captain Poll – the latter is second only to Manchester City’s Gabriel Jesus for transfers in this week on the back of three goals and as many assists in his last five outings.

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

      Nah, Congratz to those who ditched Holgate for DGW players.... Holgate 1 pointer confirmed....

  8. ★Kuntheman★
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Let's kick this off with some nice hauls from Alonso and Hazard, and a good Watford thumping of Everton

  9. Chucky
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Need Holgate to score asap...

    1. Jafooli
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      This. ASAP

  10. Pierce34
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Helped my friend with a low TV put together a DGW team. I got him this

    Cech - Pickford
    Alonso - Vertonghen - Yoshida - Dawson - Francis
    Sanchez - Eriksen - Sane - King - Albrighton
    Costa - Benteke - Gabbiadini

    He got 103 points last week (beat me by 7), and unless Hazard, Kane and Jesus deliver he'll probably beat me (and me 8 mil higher TV) this week too!

    Remember owning Lukaku for home games? Good times man, good times.

    1. ILOVEBAPS
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      He's getting a brace or better. You just know it.

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 13 Years

      Why?

      1. Syd.
        • 17 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Koeman told him he will be sold if he didn't sign a new contract

    Here we go boys. This is the week we have all been waiting for, when the meticulously planned big DGW operation is launched and we sail past the 17 casuals in the top 10k who haven't done exactly the same as us.

    Cue massive disappointment as the SGW players excel and Watford and West Brom get bored of the beach and fancy a good kick about.

    Good luck

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years

    So having saved my wildcard all season for this, played it last week and all set up with my 4 double game week bench this week. I neglected to activate bench boost not knowing there were games tonight. What do I do? It's so ridiculous im laughing. And I'm second in my mini league 20 points behind......

    1. Pierce34
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Ouch... Always activate chips as soon as you can start planning for a gameweek. No foolproof way otherwise.

    2. ILOVEBAPS
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Oh well. Stuff happens. Play it next week and hope it doesn't cost too much

    3. Debauchy

  18. Pariße

    9 years, 1 month ago

    Missed the deadline for the 2nd time this season. Was fixed on Gabriel > Gibbs, but now I'm bench boosting with Stones and Gabriel -.-

    1. barracuda
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Don't believe that....

    2. JustPark
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Same boat. Love instead of what should be PJones/Tuanzebe.

      1. Pariße
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Busy week, luckily I've set the team up and activated BB just after the last deadline, but haven't managed to make the transfers.

        1. JustPark
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Yeah, same. Brought KDB in for free though. Didn't manage to sort Tadic and Love out.

    3. Jolly Good
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Same with me, just Gabriel though

      1. Pariße
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        At least the flag's gone off Stones so there's hope and Gabriel might get minutes in a very fortunate scenario.

    Anyone with a cheeky differential this week?

    I'm pretty much template - so Mustafi is the best I can offer. A nice bullet header at Stoke would be lovely.
