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.

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

    Score check? 152 with 5 to go. Bench boost probably will be wasted though, only 6 points gained.

    1. bojack
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Not bad sir.

      97 here with 7 players remaining so may edge over the 100 mark 🙂

    2. Pique boo

      135 3 to go

    So big night for the JWP owners tomorrow, can he get off the mark?

  3. Pariße

    I dislike 100% of sunglasses on Scoutcast. 😛

    1. Evasivo
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Ha! I love the idea, but agree hats n glasses are all from bargain basement!

  4. AC Pilkington
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Is being 10 behinds enough to take a wild captain punt or rely on the odd differential in my team and play safe with Sanchez / Kane (c)?

    1. AC Pilkington
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      10 points

    2. Smoky Johnson
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Monitor Kane. If nothing. Captain Sanchez. Be sensible.

      • 15 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Depends how similar your teams are. Just captain who you think will score the most, unless your teams are basically the same.

  5. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Costa and Siggy to coutinho and Sturridge a good move???

    1. Here's Tom with the We…
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Yes. Although prefer Vardy

    2. Sánchez
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      I'm considering similar. Costa fixture could be a risky sale though

      1. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        I have hazard so I don't think I would be missing out on much. And I'm hoping he thinks he's got a point to prove cos of recent drought

    3. DJ1000
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Thinking about that myself

  6. Sánchez
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Costa nailed on this weekend?

    1. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Should be starting

  7. Coaly
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

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

    1. DJ1000
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      haz to Cout

    2. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      I'd probably do C

    3. Guru Mediation
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Yeah C

    4. Our Tiny Windows
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      I think C. Hazard to Couthino is a coin flip but Couthino had has time. Let hazard finish the season.

  8. drughi
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Haz>Coutinho look like the transfer to do

    1. Je suis le chat
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      I just want a Gabbi no-show to get points from bench.

      1. Jimmers
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Don't get your hopes up - Puel said he was rested at the weekend

  9. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    A Stephens clean sheet would be heavenly tomorrow!

    1. Gerd Mueller’s thighs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Agreed, I am on 150 and Forster, Yosef, and Stephens to play tomorrow......a cleanse would be heaven

      1. Gerd Mueller’s thighs
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Cleanie

      2. We Will Klopp you
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        No need to put your faith in Yosef or Stephens for a cleanse, a quick shower will sort that out for you 😉

      3. Legendary!
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        A cleanse is always heaven

      4. JustPark
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        In tub must be it.

  10. Je suis le chat
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Kaku, 24 goals, Alexis with 23 goals and Kane with 22. Should be a good climax in too scorer battle.

    1. drughi
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      especially if kane scores against leicester

    2. fedolefan
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      How Kaku is stuck on 24 is beyond me. He'll never be elite.

      1. Klopp For The Kopps 😆
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Why dont you Credit him for Getting to 24 at the first place?

    My casual rival is jammy , the bonus points system is broken because my player didn't get any points , that was totally my players assist , no way was that an o.g . They should just change the rules so I always get my way . Thoughts ?

    1. Pariße
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      I can relate. I'm in charge of explaining the baps in my ML and they're all mad at me because of it, as if I made the rules 🙂

      1. Freshy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        At least they didn't quit

    2. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      I agree. Moan , moan , moan woe is me.

    3. 32chickens
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      It's a game

  13. Jayv807
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    I was down 107pts to my ML leader after GW35 who was ranked just under 9k overall. After today's games I'll be up 19. He has had a shocker of a week with 61pts with Costa TC. Can't believe the turnaround. Now I just have to hold on.

    1. Frank Koscielny
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Well done, lad

  14. JustPark
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Injury factor aside, chances for them to start the last fixture of the league?
    A) Cech
    B) Stephens
    C) Yoshida
    D) Alonso

    1. George James
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      B only doubt IMO

      1. JustPark
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Was actually on D tbh.

    2. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      All in although Stephens may swap with Caceres

    3. Frank Koscielny
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Agree that Alonso is a benching risk. Which two would you bench of Stephens, Yoshi, Alonso, Vert and Monreal?

      1. JustPark
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Depends. I'm catching so I'll start someone who is and not in the rival team.

  15. The Royal Robin
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    WEMBLEY!!!

  16. For Fuchs Sake
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Not confident on strong Chelsea team, why risk injuries for FA Cup?

    1. Pique boo
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Match fitness

    2. JustPark
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Be a good club and hand over the silverware?

  17. naits
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Sanchez 2 goals and not full bonus? Whats up?

    1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Ozil played better than him

    2. Pariße
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Özil broke a PL record in chances created (12).

  18. For Fuchs Sake
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    If Liverpool are 3-0 up against Boro at HT, then Sanchez could be subbed with Top 4 gone.

    1. Legomane
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Was gonna say ...remember Palace...then realised it's Middlesbrough we're talking about 🙂

  19. Mikel
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Forgot to press the Wildcard button two gameweeks ago so have it for the final gameweek. ML will come down to the final week so how does this look?

    Cech
    Monreal Lovren Vertonghen
    Sanchez(c) DeBruyne King Coutinho Sane
    Kane Jesus

    1. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Sterling could come in for Sane

    2. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Looks good

    3. Our Tiny Windows
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Liverpool defender hmm. Double up on spurs instead?

      1. Belalugozi78
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        they play Boro. and they have 4 CS in last 5. They won't concede it is impossible.

    4. Pigsinblankets
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Maybe squeeze in Giroud or Studge and chop Sane since you already have KDB and Jesus? No Chelsea might hurt

  20. Fuchs Mane Kante
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Still number one in the Aland isles.

    Going to be an absolute dullard next season but get on the trannys early bird.

    Feels crazy to be selling Hazard ahead of a home game v Sunderland. Really hope he's rested.

    1. @fpl_phenom

      he will be

      1 FT, 0.1 ITB

      Bench boost has been dire. Should have saved TC and BB earlier in the year.
