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.

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

    Willian Vardy Christensen -> Fernandinho Jesus Smalling

    Good moves? Probably captaining Jesus. Kane sucks.

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

      (It's for -8 :()

    2. Maddamotha
      • 9 Years

      I wouldnt

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

        With those transfers my GW 38 team looks much better too. I don't want to play Vardy against Spurs. Christensen will probably start max 1 out the remaining 3 matches. Willian apparently doesn't fit in the Chelsea's current formation; subbed-in 1-pointers, no thank you.

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

      Apart from Jesus, the players you're getting are not that impressive and even he comes in for Vardy. Wouldn't bet on Jesus outscoring him by much.

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

        Smalling isn't a much better choice than Christensen?

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

          God knows what Mourinho is capable of. Bailly could be back in the picture after missing out due to illness.

  2. Bad Kompany
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Thoughts on the following?

    Sanchez and Albrighton to Sterling and Pogba. Would leave me with:

    De Gea (Ryan)
    Alonso Smalling Chilwell (Lowton, Morgan)
    Sterling Son Pogba Arnie (Westwood)
    Kane(tc) Auba Barnes

    Or would you prefer Ramsey to Pogba or do something completely different?

    1. mrodgers91
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Very little between sanchez and pogba for me could go either way. But based on price definitely yes if it allows you to bring in sterling

      1. Bad Kompany
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Cheers! My thoughts as well.

    2. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      How much ITB. Can you stretch to say Alli or DSilva etc instead of Pogba

      1. Bad Kompany
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Will have .2 itb after I do those moves so unfortunately not

  3. BEEZUS
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Morgan, Stephen's, Willian, Lowton and Barnes all sitting in my team annoying me. Already made my FT this week and will take a -8 - which two to get rid of?

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

    Would you prefer a saints or swansea def in GW37?

    1. Bad Kompany
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Saints if just for 37

    2. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Swansea

    3. SouthCoastSaint
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Swans also have stoke 38 if that helps.

      Genuinely think it’s 50/50. Will be so cagey when they play each other 0-0 could be a likely result

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

      swansea if you are keeping for 38 as saints have city

    5. noquarternt
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Mawson

  5. nevins84
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    I have chambers and Im worried he might not get many minutes.. If Walker is out, would a -4 to Danilio pay?

    1. Rik Waller
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Dunno how much Pep likes Danilo.

      I remember when Mendy got injured and everyone got excited about Danilo, only for Zinchenko and Delph to turn up on the left.

      Wouldn't be surprised if Danilo got one game and a youngster gets a go for the other. Surely City must have some talented young right backs in their squad, who'd love a chance.

      1. nevins84
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Seen this earlier...

        Of the 3 PL games that Walker did not start this year (GW17@SWA; GW33vsMUN; & GW35vsSWA), Danilo started ALL 3. Walker subbed OFF in two games (GW28 & GW36). Danilo subbed ON for him in GW36 but he STARTED GW28 at LB, so was unavailable to sub on.

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

          That’s enough for me if he’s confirmed out

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

            Laporte should also be considered with stones not quite fit and Kompany with “medical” problem

        2. Rik Waller
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          You're probably right.

          But I think there's a chance Pep could give a youngster a game at RB, or Zinchenko even. It's a perfect opportunity for it.

    2. mrodgers91
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Danilo is a right back. I wouldnt expect him to be a regular choice at left back

  6. Rik Waller
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    a) Play A. King - bou/SOT
    b) Play Barnes - ars
    c) Barnes to Jayew (-4) - bou/SOT

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      I'm looking to get Ayew, but not really expecting much from him tbh. Worried Swansea will park the bus to secure staying up. Barnes has been in great form and was unlucky not to score in the last game. Ars not solid at the back, I'd consider going with him.

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

    A. Mee, Shaquiri, Firmino to Ogbonna, Hazard, J.Ayew for -8?

    or

    B, Shaquri, Firmino to Eriksen, J.Ayew for -4?

    1. agueroooooney
      • 11 Years

      A

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

    Why is people losing Vardy? He is known to score against the big guns.

    1. Bad Kompany
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Because Leicester is on the beach

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Vardy has the world cup to think about.....

        1. Bad Kompany
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          But he won’t get the chances because his teammates are on the beach

          1. Scapegoat Salah
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 10 months ago

            He still gets chances cos of his pace. I expect (hope) Leicester to bounce back after that embarrassing defeat at Palace.

    2. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      This, especially for a hit.

      1. Bad Kompany
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Wouldn’t for a hit unless it’s for one of the big guns

    3. Rik Waller
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Because Jesus is needed.

      1. Bad Kompany
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        This too

    4. SouthCoastSaint
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      People getting Jesus and needing differentials to catch leads. I’m chasing 27 points and Vardy takes up a lot of money for a player who isn’t going to gain me points and team are in shocking form

    5. Mesh
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      I'm losing him to bring in Jesus

  10. camarozz
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Glad Tadic got a mention. Brought him in for Willian last nite to afford Jesus (TC)

    Probably troll me again tho.

    Iv closed an 80 pt gap to go 22 pts ahead, he has WC and BB. Im playing TC this wk my last chip. Iv always had Kane he has Jesus

    I got Jesus last nite and i know he will get Kane (has 3m itb) for Firmino.

    Should i TC Sterling or Jesus??

    Cant trust Kane after last nite. Somethings up with him i think.

    1. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      I'd still do Kane, especially if ahead. By the way well done on turning around an 80 point lead.....I'm still chasing..

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

        Using chips as late as possible and cutting back on taking hits is the way to go i think. Actually turned a 230 pts deficit to 20 pt ML win last season captain and triple captain Kane for all those late season goals did the job for me then!!

    2. SouthCoastSaint
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      As a saints fan chasing a rival, I really want to have the cojones to bring Tadic and Austin in

  11. HD7
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Your thoughts?

    Planned transfers:

    Baily Tark to Smalling Mawson (-4)
    which gives me:

    De Gea
    SmallingVert Morgan Mawson
    Son Sterling Mahrez
    Kane Vardy Jesus

    Ryan, AKing, Lowton, Gudm

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

      too much leicester in your team

  12. Tshelby
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Gross, Willian, Mahrez -> Eriksen, Sterling, Gundogan (-8)

    G2g?

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

      Not sure about Gundogan. Fernandinho might be a slightly better pick.

  13. RoysCallerAnne
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    What a great guy, I hope he wins it.

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

      bharat yea top bloke

  14. Fantasyamateur
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    7k overall with this team:

    DDG
    Morgan - Christensen - Naughton
    Alli - Sterling - Gross - Willian
    Kane - Vardy - Jesus

    Bench: Ryan, Gud, Tark and Lowton.

    0.9M ITB and 0FT.

    If Walker is out for a couple of weeks I will probably do Christensen and Gross to Danilo and Arnautovic..

    If not, what are my best options here? Gross out for a 6.9M? Ramsey and Tadic the stand out options..?

    1. RoysCallerAnne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Why mention the rank?
      What chip(s) are left.
      On face value your transfer suggestion looks good if Walker is out.

      1. BananaNose Maldonado
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        You were too kind, RCA. He’s posted the same thing about ten times.

  15. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    hi guys a bit of a different opinion needed....

    ive have dilva, sterling and walker as man city atm.... with walker likely to be injured do I do-
    A- leave vardy in and do walker and van aanholt/robertson for danillo and vertongan
    or
    B- vardy and walker out for jesus and mawson

    A would leave me with 11 dgw players whearas B would leave me with 10 and van aanholt/robertson

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

      B for me

      1. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        with that being said that would open up to the next question of triple captain kane of jesus?

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

          Kane looks really off colour but still getting chances and the odd goal.

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

      I prefer A, would captain Sterling either way

      1. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Is sterling guna play both tho? Atleast with Kane he’s sure to play both

  16. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Who would you at has the highest ceiling in the double:

    A) KdB
    B) Hazard
    C) Eriksen

    1. Bad Kompany
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      A or B

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Tough splitting them isn't it!

        1. Bad Kompany
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          Yup. Hazard can do so much on his own while City could score ten in a single game

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

      i think c

    3. agueroooooney
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Just about B. But A is a much better option

  17. Fiona B
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Help me Obi Dead Zone Kenobi you're my only help. 1 FT, what would you do with this lot:

    De Gea
    Azpi Smalling Vert Morgan
    Salah Sterling Son Gross
    Kane Vardy

    Subs: Ryan / Barnes / Gudmundsson / Lowton

    Kind of want to field 10 double game weekers and get Jesus in for 1 hit , help appreciated - thanks

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

      Got to lose Vardy and son or Vardy and gross.

      1. Fiona B
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Thanks - has to be Vardy and Son I think, Gross doesn't free up enough cash unfortunately

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

          Moura and Lamela wanting game time. Son was pretty poor vs Watford. I’m considering dropping him to get a Man City mid

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

    A. Bailly, Salah & Barnes - > VDH, Sterling & Jesus - 8. Hit for Salah gwk 38. Have to do tonight. Bench Gross

    B. Bailly, Salah & Vardy - > Mawson, Sterling, Jesus - 8. No hit for Salah in gwk 38. Will do Friday evening. Play Gross

    Thanks very much for the earlier replies.

    1. Bad Kompany
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      B

    2. Jam0sh
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      B

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

      Hard to plan so far ahead, but for this GW A seems like a no brainer.

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

        Looking at it now though, Vardy will have to score an extra goal to make up for the hit of losing him in gwk 38 to fund Salah.

        I think I've actually settled on B

        Thanks very much for the replies.

        Very helpful as always

    4. BananaNose Maldonado
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      So, basically, does Vardy outscore Barnes by 4 this week. I say yes. Live a little. Go with A.

    For -8 to BB would you do
    Salah+King+Kenny to pogba+young+laporte

    Current team
    Fabianski-McCarthy
    Smalling-Chilwell-VDH-Dummet-kenny*
    Salah*-Eriksen-Son-Sterling-king*
    Kane-Jesus-Vardy

    1. Pilgrim62
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      maybe Lingard and Tadic/Arni ?

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

        I can keep salah and do
        Kenny+King+Vardy to laporte+Lingard/tadic+ayew

  20. Pariße

      Yeah

    2. RoysCallerAnne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      If they continue with 3 CBs yes.

      So so difficult not to post something with a double entendre to that question though.

  21. SouthCoastSaint
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    If you were chasing 27 points and your rival has Jesus, sterling, Ederson and a bench boost (can’t own kane)

    Would you triple captain Kane and get different Man City players (have sane) or match his sterling Jesus

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

      I would match Sterling and Jesus and TC Kane

  22. Dybala10
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Doing Morgan to Mawson but what other transfer should I do for a -4?

    A) Christensen to Smalling (own DDG)
    B) Willian to Arnautovic
    C) Both (-8)

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

      A but I’d expect Christensen to play at least 1. Would back West Ham to score against united and even Brighton capable of goals at home

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

      I dont think he was being honest when talking strategy/advice so everything he said should be taken with a pinch of salt. He recommended Stones for City defense for instance..

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

        cant blame him really

    3. Jay_
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Bailly and Christensen out along with Willian. Can’t think of who for. Great guy, very likeable. Want him to win it now.

      Looks like big hits for GW 32/33 Wcers this gw and yet they wouldn't have 3 Spurs and City assets each.

      Time to make up some serious ground.

      Things must fall in place.

          Most of us have made up such massive ground since WC’ing, even a -8 is a tiny blot tbf.

            Agreed, he isn't going to catch us!

            Made up somewhere between 20-30 on GW 32/33 WCers with my WC last GW.

            The hits people take and my BB should give me another 20-25 points push. We shall see.

              Currently I'm 58 points ahead of you since GW 32, 50 if I'm taking this GW's 8-point hit in to account.

                I'll wait for the next 2 GWs then.

                And this is with having some very bad picks like Mahrez, Willian, Son, Morgan, CHRISTENSEN (no Smalling)

                  I messed up on my FH. Lost around 25 points there. For e.g Sanchez, Ibe over Gudmundsson etc.

                    I had some slight errors with the GW 35 FH. Femenia (1) over Tomkins (6) and VvD (1) over Baines (8). Otherwise it was good.

                Just checked link. 21k in gw31 to 29k now seems like waiting wasn’t the right call. Will need a huge B.B. to make up. Nothing personal btw, just find strategies very interesting this time of year.

                  No problem.

                You made up 7 on me, and doubt you made up as much as you claim on the majority. This was boring weeks ago, give it a rest.

            Both strategies had their own advantages and disadvantages over the other. There was no clear correct option. Hopefully there will be some metrics available at the end of the season to show who fared better

        • Maddamotha
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          Firmino and Salah > Aubu and Dilva? (-4)

        • ZakAFC_
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          Thoughts on this for -8?

          DDG
          Christensen, Morgan, Vertonghen
          Salah, Sterling, Willian, Groß, Son
          Kane, Vardy

          Ryan, Murray, Lowton, Tarkowski

          Christensen > Smalling
          Salah > Pogba
          Vardy > Jesus

          1. pundit of punts

            Looks good.

            I dunno why you'd want a hit for outfield United options when they've nothing to play for except the cup final

            1. ZakAFC_
              • 12 Years
              7 years, 10 months ago

              Would have 8.2 to replace Salah unless I go with a cheaper option than Smalling.

        • Aubaaaaa
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          Any news on Kompany?

        • Mesh
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          Doing vardy to jesus but need to lose Willian to afford it.
          Who to bring in?

          A. Tadic
          B. Lingard

          1. agueroooooney

            Flip a coin

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

              Then pick Lingard

            A could be interesting option

        • SuperMane Returns
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          Tarkowski/Lowton/Morgan/Willian/Son/Barnes to
          Mawson/Dummett/Smalling/Arnie/Ramsey/Jayew for a -16?

          Lukaku owner here (and already have Kane and Jesus). Going to drop him for Aubameyang or Lacazette (I'm expecting Arsenal to be eliminated from Europe on Thursday). Which of these two Arsenal Forwards would you go with?

          1. agueroooooney
            • 11 Years

            Aubameyang
