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

    Top of all my leagues.....Salah >

    A - Sterling (safety net)
    B - D Silva (will play both games)
    C - Sane
    D - KDB

    1. adam28193

      just the one move?

      1. adam28193
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        if you can spread funds to upgrade elsewhere then sterling, if its just one move then may aswell get kdb at this stage of season

      Eriksen?

      B) "will play both games" - really??

      I would keep Salah (and am keeping Salah)

      1. eamonhegg

        No thanks. Getting rid

        1. Going Home
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Your call - Sterling will cover most; think Sane might get the most minutes, together with KDB. Honestly think Silva gets very few minutes (if any)

      Need to choose a city Mid.

      Already done Lukaku > Jesus.

      How do you know D silva will play both games?

      1. Gommy
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        This.

        This fella is clearly picking Silva already and this post is all about seeking some assurances that he’s doing the right thing.

        1. Going Home
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Exactly!

      A

    8. Cruz88
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      It seems more likely that Silva will play the first game along with all the first choicers as that's the game after which they'll be presented with the trophy. Then the next game might be more of the likes of Toure, Foden, Gundogan, etc. Just speculation on my part of course.

    I'm priced out of keeping Vardy now so I'm looking at:

    Bailly, Salah & Vardy - > Mawson, Sterling & Jesus (-8)

    This leaves funds over for D. Silva/Son - > Salah for free in gwk 38.

    Look good?.

      Nice

    2. adam28193

      not sure if mawsons worth the outlay personally but if you have the funds yeah looks decent

      1. Viper
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        I think he's worth a punt, he has a goal in him. I wouldn't be spending the extra funds anyway so worth a risk imo

        1. bench boost for every gamew…
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Mawson here for the same reason, they could keep cleanie and if they don´t he is the main target on free kick and corners. A little bit expensive though

    3. Jam0sh
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Not wanting to be too critical but you have posted this quite a few times already Viper. From whom are you seeking confirmation for this? You are a competent manager and I'd trust my own instincts if I was you 🙂 That -8 looks fine for me and I'd probably do that yes.

    4. Going Home
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I am very "anti-hit" this late in a season. And I'll explain why:

      You start off at -8
      Let's say Salah returns his average of 8
      And Vardy returns his average of 9 (4.7 x 2)

      That leaves you needing 27 from Sterling and Jesus to break even, not to mention the use of your FT to get Salah *back in* next week.

      Whereas you could just do Bailly to Mawson this week, and then use the funds saved for your FT in 38 (Vardy to Jesus?). Or bring in a better option than Mawson this week (Spurs/City defender?) as you won't need to save funds to get Salah back next week.

      TL;dr - I am very against dropping players who will play (especially when they are nailed and have a DGW) for a hit

      1. Robe Wan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        I’m not sure I agree with this as a general rule. Salah has an unusually high average

        1. Going Home
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Fair - but 8 points is hardly a huge return. There's no reason why another SGW player couldn't get a single goal (e.g. Zaha, Walcott, Richarlison - early season, less so now lol). I get that you are increasing the minutes played, and therefore the chance of returns. But with very few games left you are limiting the time in which the hit can pay off.

    TC dimella >>

    a / Kane
    b / Jesus
    c / Sterling

    Rival is definitely Kane TC

    1. adam28193

      chasing or leading?

      1. Nesvy

        chasing

        1. adam28193

          stick it on a man city guy then

      Most of us have the extactly same dilema and its not an easy one.
      Minutes they going to play, opposition, teams form, individual form... so many thing to consider.

      I might just toss a coin beetwen Kane & Sterling.

    3. Eden Wizard
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      (If I still had it) it'd be B, if I had the balls, it'd be C.

      Personally going Kane C this week on BB

      1. Volley127
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Surely C choice would be the same as TC?

        1. Eden Wizard
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          What I would do, is objective. What I am doing, is subjective!

    what would you rather have for your BB team?

    A - mawson + lawton
    B - mawson + morgan
    C - VDH + cedric (-4)

      TC Kane or Jesus?

      1. MTPockets
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Not Kane

        • adam28193
          • 12 Years

          can we make this a hot topic haha

      2. Fantasyamateur
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        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..?

        7k overall and quite tight in my cash leagues so hits are costly at this point..

        1. MTPockets
            8 years, 1 month ago

            Yeah pretty much what you've proposed (ramsey/arnie/tadic)

          • Going Home
            • 14 Years
            8 years, 1 month ago

            Ramsey not a stand out option. Arsenal's biggest game of the season will finish less than 65 hours before ko in the Burnley game - the chances of the best EL eleven starting v Burnley is pretty slim

          • adam28193
            • 12 Years
            8 years, 1 month ago

            wouldn't take hit for Christensen, hold and hope he plays v hudders

        2. The_Fish

              Ryan, Zaha, Kiko, Lowton

              0 in the bank and 1 FT. Does a 4 point hit on Lukaku to Jesus and Lowton to Monreal sound good? Another option would be Lukaku to Rashford and Willian to Sterling?

              Current team is:

              DDG

              Morgan / Cedric / Vertonghen

              Willian / Mahrez / Sterling / Son

              Kane / Jesus / Barnes

              0.9 ITB, 1FT.

              Considering a -8 for either:
              a) Morgan, Mahrez , Barnes > Danilo , Arnie , Rashford
              b) Morgan, Mahrez, Barnes > Danilo , Pogba, Austin

              Do you like either of those, if so which one?

                  yeah I feel that if they are to get goals it will come form him. But will he play both given his injury record?

                  Morgan I feel will play 1 game at most but maybe i'll hold fire on that

                  1. Old Gregg
                    • 9 Years
                    8 years, 1 month ago

                    What I've read Danilo will depend on Walker availability. It may be worth a punt. Leicester are horrendous at the moment.

                    Likewise rashford and kaku.

                    I have Morgan but taking hits elsewhere or I probably would get rid.

              Opinions would be much appreciated

              A) Salah, Mahrez -> Sterling, Eriksen (-4)
              B) Willian, Mahrez, Gross -> Sterling, Eriksen, Fernandinho (-8)
              C) Gross, Mahrez -> Son, Sane (-4)
              D) Gross, Willian, Mahrez -> Sane, Sterling, Lingard (-8)
              E) Barnes, Salah, Mahrez -> Sterling, Eriksen, Rashford/Ayew (-8)
              F) Salah, Mahrez, Gross -> Sterling, Eriksen, Son/Pogba (-8)

              So many options

              My Team - 2FT / 0.1m ITB

              DDG (Ryan)
              Alonso Smalling Morgan (Long Lowton)
              Salah Son Mahrez Willian (Gudmundsson)
              Kane Vardy Murray

              Rival's Team 1FT / 0.7m ITB / BB left

              Fabianski Ryan
              Kompany Simpson Chilwell Lowton Ogbonna
              Sterling Son Mahrez Lingard Kenedy
              Kane Jesus Aubameyang

              Missed Jesus/Sterling price due to my uncertainty on what to do with my 2 FT. Also need differentials as am chasing rival (9 points behind) who has both Jesus & Sterling.

              Thoughts on what to do as I am stumped?

              The article is tempting me. On BB, do I take hits?

              A) Long, Mili & Vardy - > Mawson, Pogba & JAyew (-8)

              B) Or just: Long - > Naughton (free)

              C) Something else - suggestions please

              Currently:
              Lloris Fab
              Smalling Jones Dummett Chilwell Long
              Sterling Salah Son Arni Mili
              Jesus Kane Vardy

              Thanks

              My ML leader knows I’m going to captain Kane with my TC.

              Surely I go Jesus? 40pts behind...

                Jesus and Pray
                They go well together 😉

              Willian >> Pogba
              Barnes >> J. Ayew
              -8
              Worth it?

                Not worth the -8 imo

              Will Sane start both games this dgw?

                Good chance he does. Already had his rest

                Guessing what Pep is going to do is a game on its own.

              Hi guys, only have my BB left.. as well as 2 FT...

              Ederson, Dubravka
              VVD*, Smalling, *Tomkins, Yedlin, Monreal
              Sane, Salah*, Zaha*, Arnie, Ritchie
              Jesus, Auba, J Ayew*

              Would you take a -8 hit to get a full 15 out for BB and get Kane in for Salah??

              Who do you think gets the most minutes in the DGW:

              A) Morgan

              B) Christensen

              Is Monreal nailed for the DGW after Kolasinac injury or better to swap him to Mawson?

              so.. what we all doing with Salah?

                Might get him in for week 38, but not this week.
