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

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

      9 pts isn't bad 🙂

        Enjoyed this 🙂

          Those that know

  4. Moose™
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Just a post mortem.

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

    Does all this moves worth -8?

    1. Pep says
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months 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™
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

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

      2. barracuda
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Next 2

    2. The 12th Man
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Bette than mine for -12

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

      1. Moose™
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Ouch. Thats rough.

    3. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 10 months 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
    8 years, 10 months 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
      8 years, 10 months 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
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Alexis top 10k EO?

  7. The Overthinker
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Booked my transfers for gw38

    Ozil to ​firmino
    Anichebe to llorente (-4)

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Firmino is injured

      1. The Overthinker
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Is he out for sure ?

      2. InSaneMan-e
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Really?

    2. Vinyl78LP
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

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

      1. The Overthinker
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        True that
        Premature transfers this

    3. Pep says
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months 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
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Don't have other options upfront for AOA

        1. Pep says
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Get Giroud and someone else?

          1. Pep says
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 10 months ago

            Can, Albrighton, Fabregas, Lanzini

          2. The Overthinker
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 10 months ago

            Giroud and redmond/chadli?

            1. Pep says
              • 10 Years
              8 years, 10 months ago

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

              1. The Overthinker
                • 9 Years
                8 years, 10 months ago

                Cheers pep

    4. gorilla
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      why do you have anichebe:DDDDDD

      1. The Overthinker
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

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

    5. MANGE TOUT RODNEY
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

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

      1. The Overthinker
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

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

        1. Pep says
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 10 months 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 ⭐
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 10 months 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
      8 years, 10 months 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
    8 years, 10 months ago

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

    Vertonghen, Kane and secret weapon Zaha tomorrow.

    1. gorilla
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      not enough

    2. ThisTimeNxtYrRodney
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Zaha is also my diff. Here's hoping.

  10. gorilla
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    hopefully sanches wont play v sunderland

    1. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      What ....

    2. MANGE TOUT RODNEY
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      This. But he probably will.

    3. gorilla
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      theyve alredy won the game, wenger will rest him

    4. walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Hopefully he will...

  11. Lawrø
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

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

    1. ThisTimeNxtYrRodney
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Sanchez will decide himself if he plays. Not wenger.

    2. Jazz!
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      You wish 🙂

      1. Lawrø
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        😉

    3. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

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

  12. Unbelievable Jeff!
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 10 months 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?
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

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

    1. We Will Klopp you
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months 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
      8 years, 10 months ago

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

    1. The Overthinker
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Amazing

  16. Sims
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Sanchez: 36 points

    Rest of the team: 29

    He better play vs Sunderland... rest look hopeless

    1. gorilla
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      he wont play

    2. Eze Really?
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Hope so too. TC myself.

  17. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

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

    1. kalmoffit
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

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

  18. arndff_
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

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

    1. gorilla
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      he wont

      1. arndff_
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Why?

        1. GENERATION X
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          must be a medical expert at the ground this guy

          1. Annie
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years

            He just likes disagreeing

  19. FlamboyantCrew
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    I hate this game.

    https://fantasy.premierleague.com/a/team/328844/event/37

    All arrows are green from week to week, but my rival is again one step nearer.

  20. TorresMagic™

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

    1. The Overthinker
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

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

    2. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

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

    3. arndff_
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

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

    4. Junior ⚽
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months 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
    • 16 Years

    prediction for spurs - united ?

    1. Sweetboi

      3-0

    2. gorilla

      5-0

    3. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

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

    4. kalmoffit
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      0-0

  22. KJT123

      1. Sims
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Lol based on what?

    2. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Should do

    3. FC Lackless [BALEGIUM]
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      yup

  23. TokyoRisingSun
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 10 months 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
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Think Anichubby will be fit for the next game?

    1. drughi
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      no

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Nope

    3. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

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

  25. Mr. Funny Name
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    Punt options for Gw38?
    Fancy Willian myself

    1. drughi
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      willian, mahrez, lallana

    2. Pep says
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months 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
      8 years, 10 months ago

      JT of course.

  26. Number Four
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 10 months 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
    8 years, 10 months ago

    How many players still left to play this GW?

    17 here.

    1. InSaneMan-e
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      14
      But with triple Chelsea could easily be 11

    2. Junior ⚽
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      16 Inc captain. 73 after bonus.

    3. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

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

  28. Junior ⚽
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    1 Pointer from Anichebe it is.

    1. drughi
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      3 points less then expected

  29. Sims
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 10 months ago

    10.2k at the start of today

    60 points today. Top 8k likely?

    1. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
