Double Gameweek 37 finally comes to an end this evening as Leicester City and Tottenham Hotspur go head-to-head at the King Power Stadium at 7.45pm.

After grabbing his side’s second in Sunday’s win over Man United, Harry Kane is now just two goals behind Romelu Lukaku in the race for the Golden Boot.

Having returned eight goals and three assists in his last seven starts, the Spurs striker has been handed the armband by 5.5% of FPL managers – more than any player in tonight’s encounter.

For Christian Eriksen’s 18% FPL owners, the Double Gameweek serves up one final twist – the Dane drops to the bench tonight after earning eight points against United last weekend.

Elsewhere for the visitors, Dele Alli starts as he looks to arrest a run of one goal in his previous four – the midfielder was transferred out by 56,000 FPL managers ahead of Tottenham’s pair of fixtures.

The hosts’ Jamie Vardy is the eighth most popular armband pick (2.4%) of Double Gameweek 37 on the back of seven goals and five assists in 11 appearances since Craig Shakespeare took the helm.

Meanwhile, Foxes wide man Marc Albrighton has flourished as a budget asset across that period, producing two goals and five assists in 10 outings under the new man in charge.

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

    Scenes if one of Kane's close chances against Manchester united would have gone in

    This fantasy season has been by far the most crazy. Just done the maths back in it because off Kane cap to win all my league I was behind all season.

    I have 2 free transfers I'm scared to use them. Thoughts please?

    GW38 Cabarello
    Yoshida Monreal Alonso
    Pedro Sanchez Sane Alli
    Kane (C) Costa De Jesus

    Cech Stephens Holgate Caroll

    1. kalmoffit

      Pedro to Son + new keeper

      1. Ange Ball
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        How about Sane Alli out
        Coutinho son in

        1. kalmoffit
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          It's your team. 🙂

          1. Ange Ball

            9 years, 1 month ago

            Do you own Alli? Reckon he will play? I think your right about son my rival has him so could block him but that's not how I play.

            1. kalmoffit
              • 12 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              I don't own Alli at the moment. I think he is just as likely as Coutinho to score points at the weekend.

  3. Old Wulfrunian
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    The 6 points difference between Davies-Tottenham defender and the 5 points difference between Fabregas-Pedro were also a great plus in this gw.

  4. 1stepbeyond
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Can't believe it's that time, the last game of the season is almost here.
    What do you think for the last week? I am top of one mini league and chasing in another.

    Team:
    Cabellero
    Alonso - Yoshida - Holding
    Hazard - Alli - King - Sanchez - Pedro
    Kane - Jesus
    (Jaku - Stephens - Holgate - Gabbi)

    A) Hazard & Gabbi to Sane & Sturridge
    B) Hazard & Gabbi to Coutinho & Llorente
    C) Something else

    Cheers

    Football is so wonderful. Tuesday I'm overjoyed counting up san(c)hez Jesus de bruyne points then to be totally crushed by an eriksen no show vardy blank and selling Kane for costa being a huge mistake but i scored 167 so it's not all bad but rival having Kane has knocked the fight out of me ML wise

    1. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Hardly owning Costa all season has been reason for my decent rank imo

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

        Owning Costa kept me alive most of the season

        1. Kiwivillan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Didn't haul enough and waste of valuable funds. Everyone in my ML had and wouldn't sell so I was getting Kane Sanchez hauls etc while all their money was tied up

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

            Hmm. His PPG early in the season begs to differ. The key was getting rid in Jan. You could say the same for Sanchez. He's been wasted funds, and I'm glad I didn't own him for large periods until this GW

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

              My rivals who I was chasing all had Kane as did I until gw36 I took the risk to change my team up with diffs and until tonight worked perfect had the gap down to 2 points before tonight it now 29 and I have no Kane going up against hull

  15. dogtanion
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Is Arshavin's presumably 25 pointer v Liverpool in 09 the highest scoring single match score of a fpl player ever ?

    1. GAMBIT
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Aguero v Newcastle last season was around 25 as well

      1. Yellin' in my Ear
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Would've been, five goals plus appearance and bonus

    2. tutankamun
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Lampard got 25 a few years ago

      Rooney got a monster score once as well

    3. Super Silva
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Defoe 5 goals was a classic few years back.

    4. Lovejoy
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Pretty sure Wijnaldum got 4 goals for Newcastle one week last season?

    5. dush64
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Walcott 26 a few years ago.
      A few other 25s, including 5-goal hauls from Defoe and Berbatov. I could've sworn Lampard got a 28 (4G+1A), but may have been 25 too

  16. GAMBIT
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Gabbi, Eriksen > Coutinho, Origi (-4) any good?

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

      I dont like Origi at all. Would wait untill after presser to hear about firmino.

  17. Scratch
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Kane ownership in the top 10k?

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

      Probably 100% after tonight

    2. kalmoffit
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I know my mini league leader doesn't have him.

    3. Yellin' in my Ear
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      EO was c.60%

  18. The Big Fella
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Did anybody captain or triple captain Kane?

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

      Captained him. Haven't seen anyone who TCed him though, mostly on Sanchez I would think

      1. The Big Fella
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Or, like me, Jesus. Well done. Brave transfer when Sanchez was the clear safe option. I only went for Jesus because my mate who I am chasing went for Sanchez. What was your total?

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

          I had a proper headache making that decision. Had Jesus Kane and Sanchez!

          I actually asked on here for opinions and it was unanimous for Kane (if you're chasing in your league)

          180 this GW. Had Gabbi Haz and Vert who stopped me from getting past 200 - but can't complain!

          1. The Big Fella
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            I am on 171. I wanted to get KDB but was convinced to get Hazard and against my better judgement went with him. Also have Gabbi and Vert. Should have gone Davies. Still, 171 is not shabby at all and would have been over 200 if I'd gone with Kane or Sanchez as captain and KDB over Hazard. C'est la vie!

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

              I know! Don't think I'll get a chance to break that barrier ever again, and being this close is tough

              What's your OR? This is my first season playing seriously (where I haven't quit in October) and I'm hoping to crack the 100k tonight

              1. The Big Fella
                • 9 Years
                9 years, 1 month ago

                150k+/- I don't care about my OR, I'd rather beat all my mates. I have won one cash league and the other it looks like I will fall short by about 20 points unless my differentials make a killing this week. Still waiting for tables to update though.

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

                  My ML is just for bragging rights 😀 and I think I'll be in the lead by like 5-10 points after the site is updated

                  Best of luck mate, you definitely have more riding on this than me 🙂

      2. Yellin' in my Ear
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Guy in my ML TCd him. Is bizarre seeing a 93 against one player. Got him to 168 all out so I still beat him (got 177) with Jesus (c)

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

          Wow, you must have had a very good GW to beat him after him TCing Kane. Good stuff man - one more week to go 🙂

          Best of luck

        2. The Big Fella
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Hahahah so flukey!

    2. Olly002
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      TCed him. Got me up to 197.

  19. UpAndAway
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    181 all out! Only took one hit and wildcarded in Januray.

  20. liiusions
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Kane actually is the new Kun

  21. The Overthinker
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Replacement for hazard and anichebe respectively.

    A)Fabregas + vokes
    B)Siggy + llorente
    C) firmino + vokes
    D) firmino + llorente
    E) lallana + llorente
    F) lallana + vokes
    G) siggy + vokes
    H) fabregas + llorente

    1. Orange Roughy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      D or E, depending on Firmino's fitness. Already have Coutinho?

      1. The Overthinker
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Going coutinholess .
        His turn is over

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

          Wijnaldums turn this week

          1. The Overthinker
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            He is risky.
            Would prefer lallana

        Fabregas to start?

    3. Kirton Hoops
      • 11 Years

      i like A

      1. The Overthinker
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Personally​ it's between a and e for mr

    4. Legomane
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Siggy + Giroud?

      1. The Overthinker
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Don't have that luxury.

  22. Origi-nal
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Hazard > Coutinho & Costa > Jesus for free?

    1. Orange Roughy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Does that afford you Costa to Aguero? Could be a great differential

      1. Origi-nal
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        0.3 short. Not convinced on the above though, feels as though I'm chasing last weeks points.

  23. FP El Wonky
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    I think its fair yo say that the community template totally smashed this week!!
    Well done to every single one of you involved in FFS from top to bottom. Both TC and BB have been rather effective. Especially the TC. I can only dream of capping Alexis or Kane. I went (meehhh) Jesus.
    All in all a decent week. Well ✔ done to all you big pointers.
    This sites minileague is the top scorer too (yeiy)

    1. The Big Fella
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Ditto - still, hard to complain about a 19 point captain.

  24. dogtanion
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Predictions for Spurs attack ? Have a weird feeling it'll be Alli's "turn" to be benched and Erik recalled

    1. Pierce34
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      That seems to be the general feeling, yes.
