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.

    Chasing a lead of 27. Rival has sterling, Jesus and Ederson. Decided I’m going to wait for team news but think I will go silva and Danilo (with sane already owned).

    Rival is bench boosting (no kane) I’m TC kane.

    Too mad to try and catch 27 points?

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

      27 points is nothing.You could catch up without a chip even.

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

      27 is do-able
      Think the general thoughts are a good BB is around 15-20 points?

      Kane going mad, MC conceding but Danillo assisting, a bit of luck it could happen. I guess its no time to 'cover' his team but Jesus might worry me.
      I need to look into Danillo, his names all over these pages

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

        Yeah I missed 0.2 on sterling and Jesus but not bothered about prices at this stage. I just can’t see Huddersfield or Brighton touching the ball, would need walker to be confirmed out for a couple of weeks though

    3. Regin
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Definitely sterling, Jesus and ederson will outscore Ur 3 players. Unless Kane hauls u r not gonna cach up 27 pts.

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

    Bottomed

    Rate
    -4
    -8
    -12
    -16
    For DGW37.Irrespective of the transfers.

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

      It really depends if you’re in a mini league or chasing high rank. If you’ve planned I don’t see why you should need anything more than -8 but if you’ve had terrible luck with injuries -12 max

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

        Sanchez Willian Mahrez Morgan to

        KDB Arnie Alli Smalling
        is what I am looking at.For -12.
        What do you suggest.

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

          I wouldn’t lose Sanchez if Lukaku is out

    2. jwong23
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      -8 max

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

    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. Pierce34
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      I'd be looking at Tarkowski and Lowton out (for either double Swansea, Swansea and Southampton or Swansea and Newcastle).

      1. Pierce34
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Unless you have more in the bank of course, in which case you can splash out on defenders from better teams too.

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

          No more in the bank unless Salah goes.

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

      considering theyre all bargain basement, other than salah, id be avoiding hits.

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

        So just Salah for free? Possibly Long for a hit if Lee is back?

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

          yeah Salah for erik or even ramsey as a differential punt depending on how thursday goes, then maybe get salah back, maybe not.
          get Long if you really need the cash to enable someone else but otherwise just accept 4.5m defs arent going to get you many points, on average

      2. Pierce34
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        I disagree - my guess is he's going to want Salah back for GW38, and it would be impossible to do without a hit if he sells him and has to buy him back for a lot more. A Swansea defender can easily outscore a Burnley defender by 4.

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

          A Swansea defender can easily outscore a Burnley defender by 4.

          easily eh 🙂

          my expectations for defenders

          1. Pierce34
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 10 months ago

            Haha, well given that Swansea play Bournemouth and Southampton, I can realistically expect them to keep one clean sheet. Conversely, I don't expect Burnley to keep a clean sheet vs. Arsenal, so it would be something like 8 points vs. 2.

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

              current form for swansea defs is 1.5 for mawson, 1.3 for olsson. ppm is 3.3 for vdH and 3.1 for mawson.
              the burnley defs are 3.5 - 4 ppm and form 2.6 - 4

              unless its another 5-0 drubbing arsenal are going to feel theyre still in their euro tie and adjust their team, i wouldnt worry too much about arsenals attack

              1. Pierce34
                • 10 Years
                7 years, 10 months ago

                Swansea will be fighting for their lives - I would honestly be very surprised if they leaked goals in both their games.

              2. Pierce34
                • 10 Years
                7 years, 10 months ago

                Plus, last time Arsenal failed to score at home was GW28 vs. City.

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

      50 points behind Salah needs to go and not come back.
      Hope he blanks twice.

      1. Pierce34
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        It would be a brave move. He's already blanked in GW36 - the chances he blanks 3 weeks in a row are not pretty low.

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

          I totally agree but if you are chasing 50 points and you don't care about rank, it is a gamble you have to take imo

          1. Pierce34
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 10 months ago

            It should be 'are pretty low' of course, not 'are not pretty low'! Anyway you got what I meant 😀

            And fair enough, high risk, high(ish) reward!

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

      Salah to arnie
      Tark to Alonso/Azpi?

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

        That's the kind of moves you need to have a chance.
        I prefer Alonso for his higher ceiling btw.
        Gl

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

          Azpi rivals him, guaranteed bonus if the clean sheet and loves a cheeky assist

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

      All 4

  4. Demel

  5. Jinswick
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Best defender to bring in for 5.1m for this week only?

    A) Laporte (HUD, BHA)
    B) Danilo (HUD, BHA)
    C) Mawson (bou, SOU)
    D) Bertrand (eve, swa)

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

      Danilo if Walker is out.

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

        Would he be nailed for RB if Walker is out?

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

          I guess he would be, but I also thought he would be nailed once Mendy got injured.

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

      Can’t really answer before Man City press conference

      A or b

  6. Legohair
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    What to do with Groß???

    A. Sell for a hit->to who?(6.1 budget)
    B. Save and play him

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

      Keep 100%

      Their best player and now on pens. Stung me against spurs

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

        Ok i might just do that.it just brighton are facing both manchester teams.

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

      I would probably play him.
      The kind of player who can score points against anyone.

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

        Thanks

        1. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
          • 9 Years

          Brighton are nearly on the beach and playing the Manchesters as you said... no Brighton players imo

    3. Regin
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Funny way stupid advice people give. Of course sell him, his remaining fixtures are terrible.

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

        Disagreed. No good options at that price range. I'm keeping and starting him this week. Benching in GW 38.

      2. Legohair
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Groß to who then?

    4. FPL Kid
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      The way I play is ensure your higher valued players are fixed before you go anywhere else, as it’s where the bigger proportion of your money is. With that in mind, I’m keeping Groß as I have bigger fires (Willian, mahrez, Vardy, no city)

      Pros - on set pieces, will play both games, can get bps even when they don’t win

      Cons - terrible fixtures, better options with lower value, nearly on the beach

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

        I already did mahrez to sterling to get one city player.

  7. Lignja
    • 8 Years

    Ddg/Ryan
    Alonso, Smaling, Morgan /Long, Lowton
    Salah, Sterling, Son, Wilian /Hojberg

        1. The Darkest Knight
          • 15 Years

          yeah true... but is it suicide to go without sterling..?? (have jesus)

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

    7 years, 10 months ago

    Any of the Arsenal defender likely to play both games?

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

      Lack of replies suggest that nobody has a clue I'm afraid.
      Maybe the arsenal presser will throw some light on the subject.

    2. G-Whizz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Mustafi?

    3. Pukki Party
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      If Arsenal go through in EL no-one is nailed. If they get eliminated i would say Mustafi and Monreal most nailed.

    4. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Mustafi

  14. Positive vibes
    • 9 Years

    Is Morgan nailed?

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

      Absolutely not

      1. The Darkest Knight
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        I think he is nailed... who else will take his place?

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

          Dragovic

  15. The Darkest Knight
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Current Midfield

    Mahrez / Son / Pogba / Willian (Gross)

    Need STERLING...

    A. Mahrez > Sterling
    or
    B. Willian+Gross > Sterling+King (-4)???

    1. Joggers Nipple

      a

      1. The Darkest Knight
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Mahrez will play both the game... willian will not...
        Mahrez is on penalty... willian is not...
        Mahrez owes me 30 points hall for trusting him since GW32....

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

          Mahrez isn't on penalties.

        2. Jayv807
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          Why include an option where you lose Mahrez, if you are going to argue about why you should keep him if someone picks that option?

          1. Jayv807
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 10 months ago

            Sorry, meant to also say I would do A out of your options

    3. The Darkest Knight
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      why you guys think its better to keep willian instead of Mahrez?

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

        I don't.
        But it's closer when it's -4

    4. The Darkest Knight
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      May be SON >> Sterling???

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

      B
      Because they're the moves you want to make.

      1. The Darkest Knight
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        yeah... but some conviction needed... Lol...

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

      A

  16. The Darkest Knight
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Will Ramsey start both the games?

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

      No idea, but I certainly wouldn't bet on it.

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

      There is a non-zero chance.

      1. The Darkest Knight
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Non-Zero.... you confused me more...!!

      1. Root

        7 years, 10 months ago

        yeah, or Vertonghen, a bit safer than Davies

      Cheers guys.
      Vert is my no1 choice atm as I need a starter for gw38 too.
      Not sure I can rely on Bavies. Rose hanging around is a real pain in the @$$

    Can't believe I spent entire season without owning KDB and Eriksen...!!

    Which big hitters you never owns this season??

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

      Sanchez, KDB, Hazard, Eriksen, Mané

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

      Ddg.
      I'm hit happy, so have had pretty much all the big names at some point; even Sanchez.

    3. The Darkest Knight
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Sanchez is not a big hitter this season really...

    Hello everyone

    I am currently on 2,151 points and am leading my mini-leagues by 8 pts and 30 pts respectively. My current team is as follows:

    DDG / Ryan
    Lowton/Long/Smalling/Chilwell/Robertson
    Salah/Willian/Mahrez/Gross/Albrighton
    Barnes/Kane/Lukaku
    I have two free transfers and I am almost certainly going to do Salah and Lukaku to Jesus and Sterling. This will leave me with 2.5m in the bank. The FA Cup final is some time away so I feel I should keep Willian as I think he will play in both fixtures and take a 4pt hit to upgrade one of my defenders.

    Another thought I had was to take a 8pt hit and upgrade William and Robertson to Son/Sane and Trippier.

    Also debating who to TC so any suggestions on this point would be welcome as well. Many thanks.

      jesus and sterling is all set...

      keep son...

      do robertson to trippier only... if you can

    Alongside Jesus would you choose:

    A) Dilva + Gundogan

    B) Sterling + Wilshere/ Fernandino

    TIA!

      B

      1. Patch

        Wilshere or Ferd?

        1. Jayv807
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          Oh ya, sorry, Fern, mainly because he should play both games

    Can I deactivate Triple Captain if I decide not to go ahead? Or once activated I am locked in...

      Can deactivate

        Cheers Jay! Going to triple cap a man city rather than Kane asset

    Currently at ~6k OR and mini league should be safe. Never been in this situation before and not sure whether to take risks to jump up OR or play safe to avoid a fall! With bench boost in play for 37 should I:

    1) transfer out the 3 Burnley players (1FT) for Swansea players? or
    2) include Salah for a -12 and bump up all 4 positions to decent players? or
    3) just use the 1FT or maybe a -4 to not take the risk

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

      Depends which man city assets you have

      Most will have Sterling and Jesus...but imagine if KDB steals all the glory! Difficult TC the right City asset...

      1. Somnus84
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Ota and Sterling currently. The only way to get Jesus is to swap out Salah, Barnes and Vardy -> Pogba, Ayew, Jesus

        That way I still have 2 Burnley - and I lose Salah!

  23. Patch
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Think I am going to ditch Vardy for Jayew..

    This enables me to choose between Sterling and KDB....who is more likely to haul and play both games...

    To make way for Sterling or KDB, would the casualty be Willian or Gross?

    TIA

    1. Somnus84
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Sterling

      1. Somnus84
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        and Gross

    2. Holmes
      • 12 Years

      Taking out Vardy is risky...

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

        But Jayew has to perform or walk the plank...Vardy has nothing to worry about, except pleasing his Jungle missus

  24. Aubaaaaa

    What to do with Christsen and Austin? No more FT. Would you get rid of both for -8?

    1. Somnus84
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Austin to JAyew for sure. Then depending on funds you should have enough for Vert - which I would do too

  25. We ain't got no histor…
    • 9 Years

    Which one to do out of these:
    A. Willian- Arnie
    B . Lingard- Arnie
    C. Barnes- Ayew
    D. Son- Alli

    Thanks

  28. Patch

    First time in my FPL career that I am considering a -8:

    - Vardy to Jayew
    - Willian to KDB
    - Gross to Bilva
    - Already did Kaku to Jesus

    DDG - (Ryan).

    Dummet - Morgan - Fernandez - (Lowton).

    KDB - Bilva - Salah - Mahrez - (Matic).

    Kane (V) - Jesus (TC) - Jayew.

  29. Peggi
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    De Gea
    Vertonghen - Mustafi - Morgan
    Salah - Willian - Mahrez- Gross - Cook
    Jesus - Kane
    (Ryan; Barnes - Lowton - Tarkowski)

    1ft, 1.4itb

    any ideas on what to do? sterling in is my number one priority and my defence needs a bit of attention. I'm willing to take up to an 8 point hit

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

      Looks like Willian out for Sterling and downgrade defence to a Swansea player
