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.

    Owning Hazard, Sane + Costa and being completely unsure who will play the next round is a tough one, obviously want Coutinho but can't afford to go Sane > Coutinho.

    Who is the biggest doubt for GW 38:

    a) Hazard
    b) Sane
    c) Costa

    2nd season in a row TC has destroyed BB. Definitely will put way more emphasis on picking sweet pick for TC rather bowing down to the BB chip.

    And before anyone says of course we scored well it was a DGW afterall.

    Sanchez TC, for example, brought home an extra 27 points. That's way more than anyone proper bench score and don't forget this was a bench designed to score 'well', there's no way we'd have Cech, Pickford and Cab etc. without BB.

      I don't know about "way more". Coutinho, Pickford, Zaha, King, Capoue, Saints defenders, McAwful all genuine bench options this week and could have produced upwards of 27 points together. Not to mention TC Sanchez last week was worth 14 points...

          Exactly, prime TC picks this week other than Sanchez (KdB, Costa, Aguero, Jesus, Spurs depending upon tonight) didn't necessarily out score prime benches.

          It all depends upon how you set up your team and shed loads of good fortune

          If the season was played again Aguero in 27 would still be the best choice .... without hindsight ...

      Again, I'd say that was subjective. For Sanchez TCers in this gameweek, sure - but not everyone did this. There are plenty of Costa TCers this week too - and I believe their bench boosts were better.

        I still think tc has far more potential to kill your opponent than bb does. Sanchez would have got you 54 pts more than someone who hadn't captned him this week if your tc. Bb mainly about getting cs! I managed to get 37 pts from bench boost in gw34. Maguire Davies Sanchez and de gea. Freed me up for gw37!

      if i had captained Aguero (instead of TC'd) and TC'd Sanchez (when I captained him) then the difference is 18pts. Got 16 pts so far on BB with 2 benched players to go so it's going to be about even at worse.
      Obviously doesn't make an allowance for when I would have used BB earlier but my bench score when I TC'd Aguero was 12 pts.
      Highest bench score was 31pts but that was the week I played my WC. Have had 8 scores over 15pts on bench but on 4 of those a player came on anyway for injury/rotation.

      I just think the late DGW's make using a BB a risk given rotation where at least with TC, it's likely you have some teams still chasing various prizes and finishes and can pin point a potential big haul player. I think in future I will try and use a BB in an earlier DGW. Be interested to see it backtested.

    FPL is about getting the right players at the right time they say. I have Sanchez most season so I could not complain.

    I backed Kane at the wrong time, trusting with the armband in his two home games against Burnley and Hull. Enjoyed his Watford haul soon after but sold him before he even played that week, missing his HTs in the coming weeks. I got him before BOU game just in time for his haul but it is astonishing to learn that those two home games in which he blanked (HULL, BUR) are only times when I captained him this season.

    Maybe I trusted Sanchez and Kun too much (ignoring some like Costa, Vardy and even Kane) and should learn to adapt to changes a new season brings.
