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 Saturday’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 Wenger’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 City’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 Sane’s 7% backers will be hoping for more of the same after he delivered a season-high 11 points in the weekend win.

    which top players will not play gw38?

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

      Hazard?

      1. Coaly
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        He will feature

    2. Syd.

      Zabaleta

  2. FPL Footy Show Pod

    Any advice for this week chaps - 1FT, 0.4 ITB and AOA to play with

    Downgrade Hazard to

    A) Coutinho
    B) Firmino
    C) Other

    This would enable a hit for Anichebe - Llorente OR Albrighton - Fabregas/Pedro

    Otherwise I just hold onto Haz

    1. Smoky Johnson
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Probably A

    2. Johnny 8
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      A & Fab

        No, that's Niall Quinn I think. 🙂

  7. Coaly

    a) Haz Gabbi to Cout Giroud -4
    b) Haz to Cout
    c) Do nothing, play King

  8. Rainer

    Those Sanchez doubters 😆

    1. Frank Koscielny
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      This. Might have secured me a top three and money in my ML

  9. ViperStripes
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Golden Boot:
    Lukaku 24
    Sanchez 23
    Kane 22

    Will you have all 3 for GW38?
    If you do who will you captain?

    I don't have Lukaku, thinking of doing Gabbi & Hazard/Ozil > Lukaku & benchfodder for a hit so I cover all 3. Surely all 3 teams will be helping their guy towards the GB.

    1. Smoky Johnson
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Lukaku > Jesus for a hit? Nah.

      1. ViperStripes

        nice. captain sanchez last game?

  10. matiakez

    Mustafi hitting the bar then getting booked wasn't half annoying

    1. Rainer

      9 years, 1 month ago

      Monreal similar hitting the post on Saturday. Kosc owners should count themselves lucky 😉

  11. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    I'm 0.1 off from doing Haz and Costa > Sanchez and Sturridge...

    What to do?

      Too late for Sanchez now.

      1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Mirroring my ML rival as I'm leading the out cash league. Go Cout instead?

        1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
          • 12 Years

          *our

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

          Need Sanchez then to be safe, unless you're leading by 50.

  12. AndyCook
    9 years, 1 month ago

    23 from an early bench boost and 157 this week with Sanchez TC. Nice when a plan pays off.

    1. ChampChomp
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Turned out to be the correct tactic. Well done!

  13. NestorC
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Haz, Anich, Kosc and Vert
    to
    Cout, Costa, Ake and Bene (for a -8)

    Is it worth a punt or not?

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

      He'll no

    2. Johnny 8
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Just lose Haz & Anich.

  14. Colonel Shoe 肝池

    1. Ha.

      *whispers* No

    2. Johnny 8
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Could be but B'mouth haven't been as leaky lately. What do I know? End of season, could be a goal fest!

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

    I know he got loads of points but Sanchez missing the full bonus game is annoying, Ozil even got a yellow? How does that work!

    1. Parm
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      12 chances created(most in like forever), 90% pass accuracy, 3/3 take-ons.

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

        How does that compare to Sanchez? Surely has to be more weight to scoring goals as well? Like is 1 goal the same as 1 chance?

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

      Yeah i know, crazy! 2 - 0, scores the 2 goals, ozil gets assist, and somehow gets the max bonus?! I watched the game as well - both played well, but max BPS has to go to Alexis!

    3. Evasivo
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I concur, as per below. Frustrating regardless of the haul

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

        Especially when I am now exactly 1 point behind the leader in my league!

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

      Never seen anything like it, özil yellow also

    5. Johqvist
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      This is madness? Two goals in a 2-0 game has to be max bonus??

      1. MTPockets
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Mids don't get as many bp for goals as fwds:
        https://www.premierleague.com/news/106533

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

          Yeah that's true. I'd still say Sanchez made more impact on the game than Özil, regardless of his chances created and pass % completion. I might also be a biased Sanchez captainer but I don't think that has anything to do with it 😉

    6. ChampChomp
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Sanchez lost Bps because he gave the ball away a ridiculous amount of times

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

        To the keeper who picked it up out of the net.

        1. ChampChomp
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          I have Sanchez captain as well mate. I'm just saying that's why he didn't get 3. Obviously he deserved them over Ozil

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

            1 point behind the league leader so every points counts. 🙂

  16. Parm
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    The thing about using your bench boost after a WC is you don't really know how many points it's actually added. My team would probably be different if it wasn't for my BB/AOA combo.

    1. GHB
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I wasn't thinking exactly this earlier

      My bench boost is currently on 8 which sounds poor

      But I'm on 150 overall with a few to play so have to mark as success

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

      This. I set up my team on my WC to play BB this week. I spent a lot more cash on "the bench" than I normally would. That's why it's hard to say how many points BB gave me.

  17. jason_ni
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Tempted to get in Coutinho - do i
    A)drop Hazard
    B) Costa and upgrade my bench fodder mf(T carroll) playing 3 - 5 - 2?

    Cech/Cabellero
    Cahill/Bavies/Yoshida (Stephens/Robertson)
    Sanchez/Alli/ King/ Hazard (T carroll)
    Kane / Jesus / Costa

    Have 2 FT's

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

    66 points should make the ML wrapped up?

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

    Niall Quinn just called Pickford - Pickwick 😆

    1. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$

      Very Dickensian

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

      At least he didn't call Walcott, Alexis and try cover it up after 😆

  20. Evasivo
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Call me greedy, but I'm still raging and wondering how Ozil stole BPs over Sanchez...

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

      This! Posted same above.

      1. Evasivo
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Ozil one assist and yellow card vs 2 goals mmm

    2. Delhidynamo
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      12 chances created

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

      It's how the BPS points work. Personally I think bonus should be just that and not include goals or assists at all. I've suggested over several weeks the FPL game needs some tweaks but most round here don't want it to change.

  21. AC Pilkington
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Who is the better / safer captain punt?

    A) Vardy

    B) Sturridge

    1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Sturridge, more to play for

  22. Spg76

    9 years, 1 month ago

    Valencia going to play tomorrow?

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

      No, apparently didn't travel.

      1. Spg76
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I have no idea why I still have him anyway. That's why I'm a mickeymouse casual at 140000 overall

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

    Looks like 150 points post bps with kane, eriksen, davies and stephens to go. 19 points from them I beat my all time high

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

      140 here.

      Kane(c), Eriksen and Stephens to go

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

        not bad

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

          Harry's brace should be good enough for me to justify not captaining Alexis.

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

    122 still got 9 to play 😎

    1. Moose™

      Hazard(c)?

  27. Here's Tom with the We…

    Any idea what the top 1k average is?

  28. Atom&Humber

  29. TaiwanHC

    Who are keeping Hazard and who are selling him?

  30. woody3260
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Gabbi and Hazard to Sturridge and Willian?

    1. Smoky Johnson
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      like it

    2. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Willian is not 100% to play. Don't risk it

    3. ChampChomp
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Good punt. Could prove a nice differential

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

      Fabregas over Willian is what I am thinking

    5. Coaly
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Would avoid Willian
