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 Saturdayโ€™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 Wengerโ€™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 Cityโ€™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 Saneโ€™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

    So I was over 100 points behind leader in my ML before this weekend but have managed to score a bit over 100 points and he is languishing on 40 odd. Still have 3 Spurs to play.

    Thing is, I have Coutinho first sub and only chance of him coming on is Gabbiadini not playing tomorrow.

    Anyone have any idea whether he will play at all?

    TBH I have been walking under a Fantasy Football ladder most of this season so with my luck he will come on as 1 point sub!

    I think this season has taught us something, TC > BB. Prioritize using the TC on the strongest player with the best fixtures even if that means playing a weaker BB in a dgw with less dgw players.

      Based on the amount of football played recently Sane, Jesus or KDB... since he has come back from injury recently probably Jesus. But who knows. Pep seems to love Jesus and Sane for what that's worth..

    On 138 points and finally in the top 250!

    Got Stephens, de Gea, Gabi, Bailly, Ali & Davies to play so hopefully a a couple of small rises before Sunday...

      Fantastic score! And 6 to play will be above average imo.

        Cheers, the bench boost has only got me 3 points so far! Not sure how many of those 6 will play, i will be happy with 4 of them!

        Not that it really matters where the players are but i have got DDG, Stephens, Bailly and Gabi on the bench. Quite possible that only Bailly will play so the 4 x dgw BB players will get a total 2-4 points between them, gutted
