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

    Should i do Hazard, Jesus to Coutinho and Vardy for free?

    I'm not really sure on these, but again, i have no idea who else to sell.

    Siggy vs West Brom
    Yaya or Sterling at Watford
    Lallana vs Boro
    Cesc or pedro or willian vs Sunderland

    So the only two teams with anything to play for in the last game are Arsenal and Liverpool, correct? Sanchez and Coutinho must haves, surely.

    I can see the merit in getting rid of Hazard but are we expecting Conte to roll out "the title winning squad" for the final game?

      Suspect the usual 11 to start for that very reason. But in NO WAY do I see Hazard playing past HT or max 70 min. Even if the game is in doubt, the end result is meaningless to both sides.

      I'm planning Haz and JWP -> Couts and Fab

      Great question ... either one could be a rotation risk although they were both part of a successful week so both should be solid; Studge may be a risk if Firmino is healthy although it could be Origi ... wait for Pool and Arsenal Thurs or Fri pressers

    Caballero
    Alonso, Holding, Yoshida
    Sanchez, Hazard, Eriksen, Sane, Pugh

              Only broke into the top 5k last week so top 1k is a bit of a bonus in that sense, but yeah I certainly wouldn't have minded a Sane haul and another climb!

              Bad luck with your captain pick btw - I admire your boldness though, brave pick that could've been a great differential.

          I'm probably the wrong person to ask as I've got no idea what move to make for the last GW! Unsure of whether I want Coutinho for Hazard (can see the arguments for both sides for Hazard), also unsure if I just want Liverpool def instead. Eriksen is a fairly new player in my team (only got in on GW35 wildcard) which probably makes me more likely to keep for better or worse. I guess I'll make up my mind after Leicester-Spurs.

        Lol, I don't even know where the sarcasm begins or where it ends. Just think Jesus has good pace and decent finishing. All you need for sure, but struggling to see where the hype came from. May be he'll do something next season.

          Haha, no I actually agree mate, he hasn't impressed me at all. But hard to judge him yet, he'll be decent I reckon.

            Yeah, too early for sure. City better hope he doesn't turn out to be another Robinho. Also, I don't remember much Sane hype but he is way ahead of Jesus, talent wise.

              Sane, yep, if he can improve on his finishing he can become world class!

    Trying very hard to hang on to my lead over ML rivals and stay inside the 10k mark. Still feel very punty though with Hazard being a big rotation risk. Gabbidini has been a disaster since I got him. So how about

    Gabbidini + Hazard + De Roon --> Jonathan Benteke( cheapest striker I can find) + Debryune + Coutinho and play 3 5 2?

    Team will be

    Caballeo
    Yoshida Monreal Alonso
    Debryune Alli King Coutinho Sanchez (c)
    Kane Jesus
