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

    Anyone reckon it's worth getting rid of Morgan for a -4?

    Was going to but just seen G-Whizz's stats and making me reconsider.

    Not so keen on going Swans def as I reckon both those games will have goals

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

      Could get an attacking defender in like mawson, cedric, naughton etc. so that if even there are goals scored there's a potential for some returns

      • 10 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      I'm in the opposite camp, I see Southampton-Swansea as a very tight and nervy affair with neither team willing to give away much. But then again luckily I don't have to play Morgan!

    Will Danilo play?

    1. oscarhs

      If walker is injured yes

    It’s such a shame the Chelsea’s game against Huddersfield isn’t before the Liverpool one.

    If Chelsea lose to Liverpool or even draw, they haven’t really got anything to play for. Conte showed last season how much he’s willing to rotate in the midweek double gameweek game before the FA Cup, by fielding a second string team. Meaning his first team only plays one game per week for the weeks leading up to the final. Surely the final is his main priority to leave on a high.

    I really wanted to punt on bringing in Hazard (I’m chasing) and captaining him but as far as I can see, he’s not guaranteed to play both games. Does anything suggest he will?

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

      I've had him for too long and was liking him as a smokey captain this week, maybe not anymore.

    2. NATSTER
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      The 2nd game on DGW will be their last home match. That's the only positive factor that I can think about Chelsea field strong team.

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

        Yeah this did cross my mind, but I wasn’t sure how big the “last home game” factor actually is?

      why so early?

    3. FFPro

      Salary down should help for 38

        Less motivation for work and more for FPL?

      2. NATSTER

        Down 0.1 more and it will be perfect for me.

      3. Desperately Seeking Dusan
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        10.5 vs 10.6 will make all the difference...

        (I’m being sarcastic)

      Can't believe my luck, transferred out Salah for Eriksen before the drop. Hope that £0.1m saving is put to good use! 😆

    6. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Salah dropping helps buying him back in 38, let’s hope he slides further down in price 🙂

      Wait for info on walkers injury to see whether danilo will play
      Otherwise maybe
      Mahrez, Robertson, King -> Sterl, Smalling, J. Ayew

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

        Yeah i don't mind that, is Ayew the real deal though?
        Robertson will be handy for gw38 too assuming he's not rested again

  7. Henryyy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years

    Would you play Morgan or Lowton?

    1. Schliegs

      Morgan

      Depending on whether your chasing

  12. Albrightondknight
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    So with no chips left I have 11 dgwers
    My bench is Ryan and 3 bur players.
    In case a dgwer gets no time should I do something like Tark to SWA defender for a second hit ?

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

      Not worth it, you're betting that a DGWer will get 0 minutes from 2 games, which is very unlikely imo

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

      Certainly not worth it. It’s unlikely players with two fixtures (unless injured) will not get at least some minutes from two matches. It’s very very unlikely your bench comes into play, it would be madness to take a hit for that scenario.

    3. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Thanks even if it means I can bench Morgan 🙂

  13. Kane Toads
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Time for bold moves:Transfers done:

    Salah + Willian + VVD > Eriksen + Sane + Vert. for - 4pts.

    I also have Sterling, Jesus(C), Kane. Hence 3 Spurs and 3 City.

    12 DGWs + Bench Boost.

    currently around 26k OR and 36 points off top 10K.

    Good luck to all those taking risks for a better OR.

    ...don't forget it's a Friday deadline...

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

      Great moves, good luck

    2. Schliegs

      Don't put all your eggs in one basket my friend

      1. Kane Toads
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        DGW players cover six teams....

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

      I like those moves. I nearly went Salah to Eriksen myself, but decide to punt on Hazard instead.

    4. NATSTER
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      With that profile picture, Jesus (c) made me think.

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

    I’ve took the bullet and made my transfers. Early I know, risky I know. But I didn’t want to talk myself out of them by over thinking. I’m chasing and if I don’t take a risk now I’m going no where anyway. I’m now lined up on my bench boost with a full house (15) double gameweekers:

    Ederson
    Davies / Mustafi / VdH
    Hazard (c) / Sterling / Mahrez / Tadic
    Kane / Jesus / Ayew

    Ryan / Kenedy / Simpson / Dummett

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

      -8

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

        With enough money in the bank to do Mahrez to Salah next week.

    2. oscarhs
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Decent team, nice differentials

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

        Thanks. If I wasn’t chasing I’d perhaps have a very different team but at least having the likes of Hazard and Tadic gives me something to cheer in my ML’s should they get anything as it’s almost certain none of my rivals will have them.

        Even Mahrez, if he can get so points on the board is now a differential.

    3. Kane Toads
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Haz(C) could prove a big rank green arrow.

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

        Potentially. I’ve had a tough/poor season so I’m sitting at 50k and I’m no longer too bothered about OR as it will end up poor regardless.

        The incentive is more that I’m fairly certain none of my rivals will own Hazard so he could be the difference between being in the money or not.

      2. Moosie the Staggie
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Even owning him is a huge differential atm.

    4. Moosie the Staggie
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      I like it, especially the ballsy captain pick.
      I would have put the TC on him if they played Huddersfield before Liverpool.
      Unfortunately I don't trust him to start both matches if Liverpool win.

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

        Yeah it’s certainly a worry should Liverpool win. I’m just hoping Chelsea’s improved form along with Liverpool’s recent downturn in the PL can continue.

        Although by the end of GW38 I certainly want Liverpool to finish in the top 4 at the expense of Chelsea.

  15. oscarhs
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Already on -8

    Worth doing Barnes -> J. Ayew (-4) so I don't have to play Carroll?

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

      Chasing 10 pt lead

      1. GOTHAM City F.C.
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        18* now

    2. Moosie the Staggie
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Maybe just.
      Pretty close though imo.

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

      I like (and own) Ayew, so I’ll say yes. But that’s only because I’ve had him a lot this season and he’s done well for me. It’s a coin toss in reality, but in these cases I always like the player with two roles of the dice. Although Barnes’ great form is worrying.

      Also if you don’t do the move, Barnes is a better pick in one game than Carroll in two still. Take of the DGW tinted glasses.

    Is kompany set to play both games?

    1. Moosie the Staggie
      • 14 Years

      I would bet my house that he doesnt.

  17. woodboy76
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Worth taking out Sarah this week and going for lukaku, Kane and Jesus upfront?

    1. Moosie the Staggie
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Lukaku is probably injured though?

    2. Positive vibes

    Hi, need your view on this:
    1. Will Christensen ever play in DGW 37?
    2. Christensen -> Vert worth -4?
    Ta.

    1. Moosie the Staggie
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      1 Very possible
      2 Very probable

  20. davies
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Willian > Arnie worth -4?

    1. 32chickens
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Yup

  21. Mondeo
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Am I crazy for considering Kane(TC) & Mili > Jesus(TC) & Ali?

    Just keep watching highlights of Kane - looks seriously off the boil!

    1. NATSTER
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      not crazy at all

    2. Joggers Nipple
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Not crazy, but will take some balls

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

      no if you chase

  22. FortunesAlwaysHiding
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years

    Federico Fernandez is fit for Bournemouth. Is he likely to start?

  23. Joggers Nipple
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Morning, hour to kill at work!
    Firstly I should say that mini league is my main priority and leading by 40. TC left, main rival does not have Salah.

    DDG
    Alonso Chilwell Dummet Van De Horn
    Salah Son Mahrez Gross
    Kane (TC) Jesus

    Ryan Young Lowton Barnes 1FT 1.1M ITB

    Plan is
    A. Salah to Sterling (next week Mahrez to Salah) Any other ideas?
    Question
    B. Anything else for hit? Has to be in the same price range if so, money itb for proposed move above only leaves 0.3

    Any thought on A and B really welcome. Will get on with answering others now. Thanks

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

      Really like A) - think Sterling is very close to being a must-have this week.

      Thoughts on Gross > Arnie for B)? Considering the same with Mili > Arnie.

      1. Joggers Nipple
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Cheers mate, think A will happen. Especially with my mini league situation.

        Will look into B, Thanks

    2. Kane Toads
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Salah > Sterling a must have. I did Salah (no return) > Eriksen as I have Sterling. I planned my moves to cover Salah's GW38:
      Willian + Slah + VVD > Erik + Sane + Vert (-4pts)

      Gross > Arnie or Mahrez out (if you no longer want Salah).

      1. Joggers Nipple
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Good moves for you. Yeah, A will happen.
        If I do the Arnie move means not enough cash to get Salah back plus for -4, will think on that!

  24. NATSTER
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Get Monreal or Smalling for one of Burnley DFs ?

    The starting DF are now looking like this.

    *DDG (Hennessey)
    *Simpson - Mariappa - Tarkow (Lowton, Long)

    1. Joggers Nipple
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      For free and no other issues, seems sound. Probably Smalling

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

        +1 for Smalling

        1. NATSTER
          • 15 Years

          Thank you

    DDG
    Alonso Jones Chilwell
    Son Mahrez Milivo Salah
    Kane(TC) Kaku Barnes

    Need advice what to do
    a) Kaku+Salah to Jesus+Sterling
    b) Kaku+Salah+Barnes to Jesus+Sterling+Ayew (-4)
    c) Kaku+Salah+Son to Jesus+Sterling+Eriksen (-4)

    Is -12 too much?

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

      yes..

    2. Moosie the Staggie
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Not if your team needs it

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

      -12 means 3 goals by forward, too much for me

    4. davies
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Thoughts?

      Lukaku > Jesus
      Mahrez > Eriksen
      Willian > Arnie
      Morgan > Naughton

      1. Joggers Nipple
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Lukaku and Mahrez moves seem sound
        Willian move i really dont know
        Morgan move no, for me

      2. Moosie the Staggie
        • 14 Years

      No.if you want Salah back for GW38.

      Zaha out is a really strange one imo. He is absolutely ripping it up atm

    I am using my bench boost. I am 50 points behind my mini league leader so happy to gamble a little if best.

    I own..

    Salah
    Long
    Tarkowski
    Lowton

    I have 1 FT. I own 3 Man City.

    How many of the 4 would you be looking to trade?

    1. Joggers Nipple

      2, maybe 3

    2. Moosie the Staggie
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      3.
      I would keep Lowton or Tark for next week

    -4
    -8

    Wilian to Ramsey worth hit if they drop out of Europa league?

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

      I don’t think it’s worth a hit. If Willian plays v Huddersfield you may be annoyed.

      No. Ramsey won't play both.
