Saturday’s action concludes at the bet365 Stadium now as Stoke go head-to-head with Arsenal in the evening kick-off.

With four of the top five captains for Double Gameweek (Diego Costa, Romelu Lukaku, Sergio Aguero and Eden Hazard) failing to find the net already, Alexis Sanchez’ 10.6% armband backers will be hoping he can build on his midweek strike at Southampton.

Indeed, with a home encounter against Sunderland also to follow in midweek, the Chilean has been triple-captained by 70,403 in the penultimate round of fixtures.

Handed a third straight league start, the Gunners’ Rob Holding was the fourth top transfer target for Double Gameweek 37 – over 100,000 FPL managers drafted in the summer signing from Bolton as a budget-friendly route into a rearguard that’s delivered three clean sheets in their previous four.

Marko Arnautovic looks the man most likely to breach the Arsenal defence. The Potters’ wide man has played a part in four of his side’s last five strikes, serving up a goal and three assists over the last four Gameweeks.

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

      9 pts isn't bad 🙂

          Those that know

  4. Moose™
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Just a post mortem.

    Kelly --> Monreal
    JWP --> Fab
    Gabbi --> Anichebe
    Costa --> Jesus

    Does all this moves worth -8?

    1. Pep says
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Monreal unlucky not to score and keep a clean sheet.

      Fabregas should pay off, if not this week, next week

      Gabbi is rubbish so I wouldn't worry about it

      Costa is not so cut and dry, he could return any number of points over the next 3, too hard to predict.

      1. Moose™
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers. Please check my replies on previous page, Pep.

      2. barracuda
        • 9 Years

        Next 2

    2. The 12th Man
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Bette than mine for -12

      Gabriel > Gibbs
      Gibson > Stephens
      Tadic > KDB
      Gabbi > Anichibe

      1. Moose™
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Ouch. Thats rough.

    3. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Haz > Fab
      Tadic > Silva
      Maguire > Kompany
      Also for a -8

      As for your moves:

      I think Fab might work, we were unlucky last night, most people reckon he will start again. Jesus might start on the bench. Monreal unlucky but could score if he plays like that again and Anichebe just filler/

  5. Pirlø's Pen
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    So some good scores all around atleast!

    Complete fail in terms of BB though.

    What the hell were we thinking with Big Vic.

    1. Point-one short
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      That he costs 4.3 and should play both games so long as he doesn't get injured?

  6. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Alexis top 10k EO?

  7. The Overthinker
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Booked my transfers for gw38

    Ozil to ​firmino
    Anichebe to llorente (-4)

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Firmino is injured

      1. The Overthinker
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Is he out for sure ?

      2. InSaneMan-e
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Really?

    2. Vinyl78LP
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      ...an awful lot of games to go this week for knocks etc, risky.

      1. The Overthinker
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        True that
        Premature transfers this

    3. Pep says
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Swansea are safe if Hull don't win tomorrow. Siggy a better differential, could be his last game at the Liberty Stadium

      1. The Overthinker
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Don't have other options upfront for AOA

        1. Pep says
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Get Giroud and someone else?

          1. Pep says
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Can, Albrighton, Fabregas, Lanzini

          2. The Overthinker
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Giroud and redmond/chadli?

            1. Pep says
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              Albrighton and Can have better fixtures and chance of scoring imo. Redmond maybe.

              1. The Overthinker
                • 9 Years
                9 years, 1 month ago

                Cheers pep

    4. gorilla
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      why do you have anichebe:DDDDDD

      1. The Overthinker
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Dgw fever :p
        At that cost i couldn't see anyone better . But well

    5. MANGE TOUT RODNEY
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Why get rid of Ozil? Arsenal might need a win.

      1. The Overthinker
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        To activate aoa
        I.have anichebe as 3rd striker.

        1. Pep says
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Just forget AOA. Cost me 8 points when I used it. Benched an Evans goal.

          Your defence can't be that bad after this week, not work taking a hit to drop Ozil and upgrade Anichebe to use that stupid chip. I doubt it'll pay off!

  8. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Wenger on Alexis: "The physios told me he wanted to come off, I don't know what it was, but he's a fighter."

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

      A fighter he is, damn. He'll play unless his legs fall off.

      Remember the injury he played with for Chile? Scored then too.

  9. MANGE TOUT RODNEY
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    63 pts so far. Edging inside 7-8k OR hopefully.

    Vertonghen, Kane and secret weapon Zaha tomorrow.

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

      not enough

    2. ThisTimeNxtYrRodney
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Zaha is also my diff. Here's hoping.

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

    hopefully sanches wont play v sunderland

    1. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      What ....

    2. MANGE TOUT RODNEY
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      This. But he probably will.

    3. gorilla
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      theyve alredy won the game, wenger will rest him

    4. walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Hopefully he will...

  11. Lawrø
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Wenger surely won't want to risk Sanchez bearing in mind his imminent transfer

    1. ThisTimeNxtYrRodney
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Sanchez will decide himself if he plays. Not wenger.

    2. Jazz!
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      You wish 🙂

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

        😉

    3. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Don't think Wenger gets a say in the matter 😆

  12. Unbelievable Jeff!
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    All my main differentials for the double were defenders/keepers - arsenal and Southampton double up. Bamford and crouch have cost me ML, unbelievable!

  13. Eze Really?
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    King on the bench. Please don't play Stevens!

    1. We Will Klopp you
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Ah, the joys of fpl... I'm hoping for the exact opposite with a Holgate 1 pointer waiting for me on the bench

    2. kalmoffit
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I've missed a heap of Olsson points. But if Stephens fails to appear..

      Amazing

  16. Sims
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Sanchez: 36 points

    Rest of the team: 29

    He better play vs Sunderland... rest look hopeless

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

      he wont play

    2. Eze Really?
      • 12 Years

      Hope so too. TC myself.

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

    A Hull win tomorrow would be lovely to leave Siggy with something to play for next GW!

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

      Otherwise my triple Swansea goes on the fire with my triple Chelsea

  18. arndff_
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Alexis is a beast, so I hope he'll play on Tuesday evening!

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

      he wont

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

        Why?

        1. GENERATION X
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          must be a medical expert at the ground this guy

  19. FlamboyantCrew
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    I hate this game.

  20. TorresMagic™

    Great day for most FFSers apart from the bench boost mess.

    1. The Overthinker
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Yes. Just when we had high hopes from bb, it disappointed many of us

    2. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      DGWs usually throw up surprises..not the best time for a bench boost in my opinion

    3. arndff_
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      At least one of City/Arsenal deserved to go with a CS. 🙁

    4. Junior ⚽
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Ayy. Like last season we got it wrong. TC DGW 37 last year. This year we should have played it then instead of 29.

  21. drughi

    3. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      2 -1 to spurs with Kane double (Eriksen double assist), Hererra goal (Pogba assist)

    4. kalmoffit
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

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

      Should do

    3. FC Lackless [BALEGIUM]
      • 9 Years

      yup

  23. TokyoRisingSun
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Early thoughts on who's a must-have next week bearing in mind fixtures and rotation?

    Methinks Bellerin could be gold

  24. Junior ⚽
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Think Anichubby will be fit for the next game?

    1. drughi
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      no

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Nope

    3. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Yes, he'll be fit for his next game in Sept

  25. Mr. Funny Name
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Punt options for Gw38?
    Fancy Willian myself

    1. drughi
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      willian, mahrez, lallana

    2. Pep says
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Some decent midfield punts but I've got Sanchez Siggy King Sané and Alli. Not really keen to drop any of them.

      Thinking Jesus to Giroud maybe?

    3. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      JT of course.

  26. Number Four
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    I can count on one hand the number of times taking a points hit has worked well.

  27. Jigger & Pony
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    How many players still left to play this GW?

    17 here.

    1. InSaneMan-e
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      14
      But with triple Chelsea could easily be 11

    2. Junior ⚽
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      16 Inc captain. 73 after bonus.

    3. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      16 with a fixture probably best way of putting it after today

  28. Junior ⚽
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    1 Pointer from Anichebe it is.

    1. drughi
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      3 points less then expected

  29. Sims
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    10.2k at the start of today

    60 points today. Top 8k likely?

    1. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
