We now check in with the form of a number of Double Gameweek 37 candidates in our regular analysis of the members’ Opta data.

Man City’s attack shows no signs of complacency since clinching the title, while Southampton appear to have reason for optimism in their bid to beat the drop.

Meanwhile, we assess the recent showings of Spurs and Leicester’s frontmen, while Man United and Chelsea’s midfield make a late claim for our attention ahead of Friday evening’s deadline.

    Anyone keeping Salah for the Chelsea match? I can see a drained Liverpool being turned over by Hazard and co.

      I’m torn between binning Salah for alli or hazard..... thoughts?

        Am sooo close to switching for Hazard as I will be able to switch straight back for GW38 if Salah drops 0.1m this week.

        1. #FPLBhuna

          Exactly the same for me

            I can see a repeat one of these!

              7 years, 10 months ago

              Not been in that sort of form all season though

                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 16 Years
                7 years, 10 months ago

                No, true. It's not helping that I haven't seen Chelsea recently. His stats are ok but not amazing.

    2. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      keeping but mainly for 38 as i want to keep salah for game against brighton and dont want to waste a transfer getting him out and in

      1. #FPLBhuna
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        This is the only thing preventing me from binning him

      2. Twisted Saltergater
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Would you consider benching him v Chelsea if Liverpool have a tough return leg in Rome?

      3. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…

        Yeah thisss

    3. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Yeah that is a possibility but we have been cack most of the time this season and sometimes maybe gift goals too
      The problem for me is i am unable to bring him for the final game which is a big worry

    4. Richd
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      I would only sell for a premium city or spurs mid. Else just hold.

      I sold when he got injured

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        I've got Alli, Eriksen, Sané and Stelring, so I'd only be selling for Hazard, Pogba or Ramsey and taking a -4 to get a premium DGW defender (except if getting Hazard).

        So, it would be Hazard + Bednarek or Pogba/Ramsey + any def.

        Another alternative would be to bench Salah and switch Barnes for J.Ayew.

        1. Richd
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          I’m about as anti Salah as anyone on the site the last few weeks but it sounds like you should hold

          1. Twisted Saltergater
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years
            7 years, 10 months ago

            Liverpool + Huddersfield vs Chelsea and a FT in GW38.

            Am going to have to sweat over this!

            1. Richd
              • 13 Years
              7 years, 10 months ago

              I can see the appeal... I’ll be honest it’s not straightforward.

              If you enjoy the thrill of a DGW you can justify it that way ?

              1. Twisted Saltergater
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 16 Years
                7 years, 10 months ago

                I'm not afraid to have a punt, put it that way. I'll sit tight for now and watch the CL game tomorrow. I'm not so much worried by Salah but the weakened Liverpool team that may play.

                Thanks for your input, mate. Appreciated.

  2. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Best defender for 5.2 mil or under. Other than mawson
    Is it cresswell?

  3. Pariße
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Start 2:
    A) Morgan (WHU, ARS)
    B) Dummett (wat, tot)
    C) Austin (eve, swa)

    1. Jam0sh
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      A and C probably

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

        Makes sense, thanks.

    2. Volley127

      AC

  4. Leaf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    No mention of Hazard on the scoutcast

    2 homes and a bit of form and can be flip flopped with Salah

    1. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Limited game time and could get rested for the 2nd game if the result against Liverpool goes the wrong way

      1. the snazzy viking
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        can't see that happening to be honest

    2. Richd
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      He was briefly mentioned. They said the new system benefits him. At the loss of Willian.

  5. #FPLBhuna
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Salah >

    A) Alli
    B) Hazard

    1. Jaok
      • 11 Years

      Alli, dont trust chelsea

  6. joeleenus
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Have 2 FTs & TC. 0 ItB. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Lloris (Hennessey)
    Azpilicueta / Monreal / Chilwell (Sakho)
    Salah / Eriksen / Mahrez / Carroll (Milivojevic)
    Kane (C)/ Vardy / Abraham

    Many thanks!

    1. joeleenus
      • 10 Years

      And (Lowton).

    2. Balls of Steel
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Mahrez to Sané or Salah to Sterling

  7. Richd

    How much would it cost to have Fantasy football scout 24/7 like SSN?

    1. Syd.

      No just No

      1. Richd

        Imagine wildcard deadline day.

        It cuts to Granville outside Goodison Park and someone waves a rubber phallus at the camera ! Then it goes viral and Mark is signed by Channel 4 news at 10

  8. Jam0sh
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Hello all. What would you do with this lot?

    De Gea
    Vertonghen, Alonso, Morgan
    Sanchez, Willian, Sterling, Gross
    Barnes, Kane, Vardy

    Subs: Ryan --- Milivojevic, Femenia, Lowton --- 1 FT, 0.5 ITB

    A) Vardy & Sanchez -> Jesus & Eriksen (-4)
    B) Vardy, Sanchez & Willian -> Jesus, Alli & David Silva (-8)
    C) Something else, what?

    1. Woy of the Wovers
      • 15 Years

      Chips?

      1. Jam0sh
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        TC left for GW37

        1. Woy of the Wovers
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          So that's TC Kane.

          I think A just about justifies the hit.

          1. Jam0sh

            Cheers for your thoughts on this Wotw

    2. cheese XL

      A

  9. Cok3y5murf
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Would you start Morgan or Robertson?

    1. Richd
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      No

      1. Cok3y5murf
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        So you'd sell Morgan for a hit?

        1. Richd
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          Yeah I really would. The Scoutcast seemed to fully agree too.

          I’d aim for Danilo or a Swansea defender. Unless budget allows more ?

        2. Brosstan
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          Selling a defender with a double home game week where one of the games is against a team that hasnt won an away game in over 4 months and the other is a relegation candidate is LOL-worthy, regardless of what they said on Scoutcast.

          1. Brosstan
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 10 months ago

            Selling for a hit*

          2. Richd
            • 13 Years
            7 years, 10 months ago

            What ?..

            1. Brosstan
              • 11 Years
              7 years, 10 months ago

              Theres no way you end up net positive selling Morgan for a hit for a Swansea defender

              1. Richd
                • 13 Years
                7 years, 10 months ago

                If you take into account GW38 it should.

                In addition Morgan may actually lose his place. He comes back and they lost 5-0 v palace

              2. Twisted Saltergater
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 16 Years
                7 years, 10 months ago

                You need to look at GW38 too. Morgan has Spurs away, Swansea have Stoke at home.

                1. Cok3y5murf
                  • 9 Years
                  7 years, 10 months ago

                  I have Robertson, Vertonghen and Smalling in my team. A Swansea defender won't be in my starting 11 in GW38 anyway.

                  1. Richd
                    • 13 Years
                    7 years, 10 months ago

                    GW38 is notorious for rotation. I wouldn’t be surprised if he pops up in your lineup.

                    But you’ve clearly made your mind up and that’s cool. Out of the two I’d play Morgan

                  2. Twisted Saltergater
                    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                    • 16 Years
                    7 years, 10 months ago

                    What if Robertson doesn't start?

                    1. Cok3y5murf
                      • 9 Years
                      7 years, 10 months ago

                      Then I've got Lowton from the bench.

                      1. Twisted Saltergater
                        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                        • 16 Years
                        7 years, 10 months ago

                        Ok cool, looks fine.

                2. Brosstan
                  • 11 Years
                  7 years, 10 months ago

                  Most people have a Burnley defender or something who will easily take place in the starting 11 for gw38.

                  1. Twisted Saltergater
                    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                    • 16 Years
                    7 years, 10 months ago

                    depends if they're being sold this GW for a DGW'er. I have Long and Lowton and am worried about Long still being in the starting line up for the last game of the season.

                    Plus, Bournemouth aren't too shabby at scoring.

          3. Cok3y5murf
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 10 months ago

            I agree completely. There's no way I'm selling for a hit. Was just checking with him.

            The hit itself cancels out one clean sheet that Swansea may keep. Even if Morgan blanks in both, Swansea would have to keep 2 clean sheets for you to have any significant profit. It doesn't make sense.

            1. Richd
              • 13 Years
              7 years, 10 months ago

              I’d take into account GW38 as well.

              I’d also take into account he may not play both.

              1. Cok3y5murf
                • 9 Years
                7 years, 10 months ago

                I've commented above regarding GW38.

                Whether he won't play is mostly speculation. If he doesn't play both, I have Robertson coming on from the bench, not too bad. If he plays one and gets 2 points, and Swansea keep 1 clean sheet, after a hit, it's 4 points. A net of 2 points isn't worth risking a hit for. They'd still need to keep 2 clean sheets and that's very unlikely.

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

            I've been thinking about this all day and really think you're right. Most people would swap to a Swans defender and all I see in their dgwk fixtures is goals.

  10. Messsiaah

    barnes to ayew worth -4?

    1. Richd
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Only if it’s enabling an upgrade elsewhere.

      Gw38 Barnes looks a good option

  11. Pilgrim62

    Any information on DSilva?

    1. Syd.

      He was given the weekend off should be back for the remaining games

        He’s more nailed and the bigger source of goals for his team!

    4. Twisted Saltergater

      50/50 chance i'd say

  14. Viper
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    A. Vardy & Willian - > Jesus & Sterling (- 8)

    B. Barnes & Salah - > Jesus & Sterling (- 8)

    C. Barnes, Salah & Willian - > Jesus, Sterling & Arnautovic (-12)

    Have to do B or C tonight if I go for them

    1. Gobigorgohome
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      B

    2. the snazzy viking
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      between A and C imo

      probably C

    3. Richd
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      C looks sexy

      1. Viper
        • 16 Years

        It does, doesn't it 🙂

        1. Richd
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          They are 3 players id 100% have if I was wildcarding, which I’m not.

          So in a situation like that I can justify getting rid of Salah for a week.

    4. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      B

      You should be points in and could get Salah back easily enough for 38

    5. cheese XL
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      B

    6. Richd
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Why b over c?

      I mean Willian might not play..

  15. rocky7st
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Which is better both for a hit to get Kane in
    a) Vardy, Aub > Kane, J Ayew (6.4)
    b) Vardy, Mahrez > Kane, 4.6 mid

    1. Woy of the Wovers
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Borderline that either get the hit back. Certainly don't like losing Aubameyang.

  16. Delph & Safety
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Is it too risky to move for Sterling and Jesus tonight?

    1. Richd
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      It’s hardly the most crazy thing I’ve seen on here

  17. SuperMane Returns

    Great Scoutcast tonight. Bharat, what a nice bloke! Just the right mix of dullard and maverick it seems!

  18. Gudjohnsen
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Best third striker for game week 37? Already have Jesus and Kane.

    A. Vardy
    B. Giroud
    C. Austin
    D. J.Ayew
    E. Someone else

    1. Woy of the Wovers
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Aubameyang

  19. Delph & Safety

    No one looking at Salah to Eriksen, Hazard, KDB?

    1. Lone Wolf FPL
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Probably most Salah owners think about that move

    Gundogan super unlikely to start both games right?

    Fernandinho probably better...

    1. Delph & Safety
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Yeah, or even an Andy King to be cheaper.

    2. Syd.
      • 16 Years

      Correct

    3. Richd
      • 13 Years

      Yeah spot on

      Some famous YouTuber was saying this last night 😉

        Why would you pay for membership twice, FPL Virgin?

          How can we be in two places at once? 😉

          There's only one true Virg. Accept no substitutes.

        Second guessing myself...

        1. Richd
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          I definitely think you were right. Fernandinho should be more nailed for sure. He seems to be like the Kante/ matic level of nailed.

    4. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      get Sané and Jesus in by selling Vardy, Mahrez and Alonso.

      1. andy85wsm
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Not really doable with Sterling too. Would mean a -12 without a good place to get the extra cash needed

        1. Twisted Saltergater
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          Ah, didn't see that you have no Man City.

          How much would you be left with for a defender if you did Vardy, Mahrez, Alonso out for Jesus, Sterling?

    5. OldBenKenobi
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      I'd say so

  21. Jollyswagman
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Rashford as a differential if Lukaku is injured?

    1. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Good luck with that one

      There is a reason he doesn’t play much

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

        And that reason is Lukaku?

  22. OneDennisBergkamp
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Keep or ditch Willian?

    1. Woy of the Wovers
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Unless you can upgrade to Sane, stick.

    2. Jaok
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      really want to ditch, but cant decide on who. Pogba? Ramesy?

  23. BigBarn
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    A little yeaser for you. For GW37, would you rather:

    a) Arnie and Matic; or
    b) Willian and Jayew?

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

      *teaser, obvs

    2. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      B

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

        Yeah, I'm inclined to agree. Barnes to Jayew is such a nautural transfer and leave Willian in the team because West Ham are rubbish. But stilla huge part of me that thinks Arnie will outscore Willian by more than 4 points before the end of the season. Hmmmm.

  24. The 12th Man

    Looking like -16 for me this week

    1. Norman Conquest
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      same and i quite like it

  25. @FPL_liverbird (liverpoolfa…
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Just when I think I know my transfers I find this move:

    Morgan,Mahrez,Willian > Smalling,Sterling,Ramsey

    1. Lone Wolf FPL
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Im yhinking same but more Danilo/Monreal

      1. @FPL_liverbird (liverpoolfa…
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        This whole arsenal out has unlocked everything potentially.

        I was so set on Barnes,Dunk,Mahrez > Ayew,Sterling,Smalling

        Now that may change!

    2. Jaok
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      like it, I have no faith in lei or willian..

      1. @FPL_liverbird (liverpoolfa…
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Yeah see above reference other transfer I was nailed to doing pre arsenal thoughts.

  26. Messsiaah
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    How risky is Sane TC?

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      I don't think it's too risky. My only concern is that at home he tends to play wider because the opposition park the bus. His goals recently have all come away from home.

      That said, he's had a fair bit of rest and I think he'll start both.

      1. Messsiaah
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Yes. He is definitely gonna start both of the games.
        And against two weak sides who are vulnerable against pace

  27. Deulofail
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Considering a -12.

    Sell: Simpson + Son + Mahrez + Wood + Vardy
    Buy: Danilo + Arnie + Sterling + J.ayew + Jesus

    Seems to me that all of the "buy" players are likely to outscore the "sell" players by 4 points or more (over 3 matches). Which of these transfers are not worth a hit in your opinion?

    1. Prøfeßör …
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Son to Arnie and Simpson to Danilo (unless Walker is confirmed out).

      1. Deulofail
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Thanks Bear. I I can simply tsay that the other 3 transfers are my "hits". Neat.

        I personally think Son is poor value for the final 2 GWs. I think he'll likely get around 150mins out of the possible 270mins, with Lemela and Lucas around. Plus Spurs look pretty limp

    2. The 12th Man
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      I’m looking at
      Kiko,Simpson,Lowton,Salah,Walcott,Barnes
      >>>

      Davies,Smalling,Cedric,Pogba,Tadic,Ayew

  28. Godot - Fashanu Zealand
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Play Gross or Kenedy?

    1. Jaok
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Kenedy

    2. Prøfeßör …
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Tough one. I'd personally rather play Gross.

    3. theRealMoneyball
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Kenedy

  29. Jaok
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    52 point lead on main rival in money league.

    My team:
    DDG
    Chilwell Christensen** Lowton
    Salah Son Willian** Sterling Gross
    Jesus Kane(TC)

    Ryan Morgan Barnes Dunk

    Rival:
    Pope Adrian
    Mustafi Ota Davies Tark Yedlin
    Sterling Pogba Ramsey Mili Salah
    Kane Auba Barnes

    both have TC left

    How do I neutralize the threats?

    I missed the scoutcast. Any idea how long it takes to get to YouTube?

      Its already ready to watch on YouTube

      1. @FPL_liverbird (liverpoolfa…
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Does Jonty say Jesus as the differential captain in the first 30mins instead of Kane. its muted on that exact sentence when I watched.

    2. Prøfeßör …
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      It's already on there.
