The Fantasy Premier League (FPL) season might be drawing to a close, but arguably the most important Gameweek still remains on the docket.

With 16 fixtures – more than any other Gameweek this season – scheduled across six days of football, Double Gameweek 37 promises managers their best opportunity to climb the rankings.

Moreover, with five of the league’s top six sides in possession of two fixtures, a wide range of premium options find themselves vying for our attention.

Doubling the importance of this Gameweek is the high number of managers who retain one of the game’s two highest-yield chips for use across these fixtures.

Those who have resisted the urge to spend either the Triple Captain or Bench Boost chip before this weekend will find themselves spoiled for choice, with a plethora of captaincy picks and budget bench options at their disposal.

With this in mind, this week’s second article for members will be using our expected goals and goals conceded data to break down the fixtures of this upcoming Gameweek to identify sides – and players – who look best placed to prosper.

    Best swap for Salah

    A) Eriksen
    B) Hazard
    C) KDB
    D) Sané
    E) Pogba

    Got Sterling & Son already

    Cheers

    1. FPL Bielsa
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      KDB

    2. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      All of the above 😀

      I have Eriksen and Sané and am considering Hazard or Pogba in for Salah.

    3. iCon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Eriksen and KDB are safe options, Hazard middling and the other two are good punts

    4. Team Bobcat
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Think Eriksen gets most game time but if you were to gamble then sane would be my pick

  2. Twisted Saltergater
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Thoughts appreciated!

    a. Hazard + Bednarek
    or
    b. Pogba + any defender

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      B !!

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        But Hazard has a flat Liverpool and Huddersfield at home!! 😉

        1. Ajax Hamsterdam
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          I don't go with theory they will be flat. Only giving you my opinion and of any defender means vert then i d go b 🙂 go with a if that's your guts 🙂

          1. Twisted Saltergater
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years
            7 years, 11 months ago

            Cheers 🙂

            I'd get Vertonghen but I like my defenders to have some goal threat at that price (he'll go and score now).

            No defender really jumps out for the DGW other than Man City and I have 3 of their attackers.

    2. Hansel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Bednawho?

      1. Duffy Dunk
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Bendtner ek

      2. Twisted Saltergater
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        He'll score in the DGW. Guaranteed.

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

          In which case, A

    3. Old Wulfrunian
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      a

  3. diesel001
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    These Danilo punts are proper risky. At least wait for the team news.

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Folk won't be told....

    2. Richd
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      I’m triple captaining him.

  4. Hansel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Bottomed: All alternatives for a -4

    a) Mahrez -> Eriksen
    b) Lingard -> Sané
    c) Christensen -> Vert
    d) Tarkowski -> Danilo/Laporte

    or just skip the hit?

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Who would be your 3rd defender if you don't do D?

      1. Hansel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Dunk... Also have Morgan and Lowton so defense is not looking great..

        1. Twisted Saltergater
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          then D, but wait for news from Pep

    2. Old Wulfrunian
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      a it's worth.

  5. The SK
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    No chips left and chasing ML, thoughts on this please:

    DDG
    Davies Morgan Simpson
    Sanchez Sterling Son Willian
    Kane Vardy Murray

    Ryan Gudmundsson Lowton Long

    A) Sanchez+Son --> KDB+Eriksen (-4)
    B) Sanchez+Murray --> KDB+Ayew (-4)
    C) Sanchez+Simpson --> 5.7 Defender (-4)

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      B looks worth it.

    2. FPL Bielsa
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Sanchez to KDB and Willian to Tadic

  6. Deulofail
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    It's a bit early, but I'd like to start dreaming. Which scores more in GW38?

    A) Son (LEI) + Auba/Laca (hud)
    B) Salah (BHA) + Vardy (spu)

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      A

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        maybe

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

        Cheers. I'm planning to sell Kane for Jesus, leaving enough ITB to do either:

        A) Vardy > Auba
        B) Son > Salah

        (to match up with the same A/B choice above)

    2. DON BE ZILLY
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      B (A doesn't offer a plausible double)

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

        GW38 🙂

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

          Although I may have misunderstood what you mean

        2. DON BE ZILLY
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          B

  7. Dybala10
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Willian, Morgan & Christensen > ? (-8)

    A) Arnautovic, Mawson, Smalling
    B) Sane, vd horn/Fernandez, Cedric
    C) Sane, Mawson, Bednarek

    Also own DDG, Sterling & Jesus.

    1. Old Wulfrunian
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      a

  8. UnitednationsXI
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Ddg — Ryan
    Smalling Maguire alonso Cedric — lowton
    Son pogba willian mahrez — king
    Kane Jesus --- barnes

    A: mahrez > sterling
    B: mahrez + willian >> sterling + arnie/ramsey (-4)
    C: cedric + mahrez >> danilo + sane (-4)
    D: Maguire + willian >> VDH + Sane (-4)...allows me to keep mahrez and hence easier upgrade to Salah in gw38. In all other options, the only way I can see of getting salah in gw38 is by upgrading sterling..

  9. AdamJ91
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Which is the better option out of the 2?

    A) Lloris/Pogba/KDB
    B) DDG/Sterling/Sane

    1. Egbunike
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      B

    2. darkmatt3r
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      A but with Sterling instead of KDB

      Or b with Pogba instead of sane

      Sorry not much help

      1. AdamJ91
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Couldn't do B with Pogba as I would already have 3 Man Utd players if I kept DDG.

  10. darkmatt3r
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Daniels or Robertson to Cédric?

    1. Old Wulfrunian
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      No sign of DSilva?

    2. Henryyy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      not many pics 🙁

  11. Egbunike
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Best max 7.4m midfielder to replace Willian?

    A) Ramsey
    B) Arnautovic
    C) Tadic
    D) ???

      This is the 4th time you've asked this in 15mins. Please red replies and stop spamming!

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam

        And you stop being short to folks please 🙂

        1. Pep says

          7 years, 11 months ago

          Keep trying.

          This guys payed the same question 4 times. I spent 4/5 mins replying to his 1st post, what's the point trying to help people if they're not gonna read it what you have to say

      2. damiang2233
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Cant find your reply so what is it??

        1. Ajax Hamsterdam
          • 11 Years

          No one knows

    2. JD @JDCochran2
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Great question. I have been asking around to all the reporters and no one can give me an answer. Has he returned to training? You would assume he would be there for the trophy presentation

    3. Cojiro
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Pretty sure it was just rotation. Him, fernandinho and gundogan fighting for same positions

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

        Nah, he was given leave to go home and spend time with his family again.

      2. Pep says
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        It wasn't rotation

  13. Twisted Saltergater
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    I feel sorry for Mahrez owners. How do you get rid before a two home matches in a DGW? He should've gone at least a couple of weeks ago.

    I'm not taking the high ground or anything - I only sold last week. Such a ruthless call this week though.

    1. Cok3y5murf
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      People here are taking hits for even defenders. I doubt they'll care much about Mahrez.

    2. MTPockets
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Unless Sane's ruled out he's going. But for free.

      • diesel001
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Got to be ruthless in this game

      • IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        i understand but u cant be without sterling thus week surely

      • Team Bobcat
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Is he injured?

        If you own now you may as well hold unless injured

      • Brosstan
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        People are acting as if Mahrez hasnt been streaky before this season. Dropping him is taking form > fixtures way too far. Great home fixtures, great player, just poor form.

    3. Shardlow
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Looking to replace Christensen and can’t afford Vert.
      A. Davies
      B. Smalling

      Cheers!

      1. Bragazeti

      3. Twisted Saltergater
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Smalling has two away games and Davies isn't playing wingback any more, or even looking that assured.

        I'd probably go Smalling.

      4. Old Wulfrunian
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        I have this horrible feeling Smalling is going to miss a game. Really hope he doesn't.

      6. Veezeeboy

        A

    4. le flem
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Willian + Eriksen > Sane + Silva (-4)?

      OR just Willian to Arnie?

      Have only 1 City in Sterling and quite scared.

      1. Cojiro
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Any way to do it keeping Erik?

        1. le flem
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          Alonso to Mawson, Willian to Sane (-4)? + Son to Silva (-8)?

          1. Cojiro
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 11 months ago

            Not keen on that either. Prioritise getting in Jesus

            1. le flem
              • 12 Years
              7 years, 11 months ago

              Yeah, would need to downgrade Erik to a 4.5 then

    5. Hedge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Butland and Van Dijk -> Fabianski and Vert

      Worth a -8?

    6. Duffy Dunk
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Is the ManCity team news update scheduled for a certain time or it's not out yet?

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Won't be out until before kick off I think . You mean line up right ?

        1. Duffy Dunk
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          Meaning Pep's press conference, if anyone knows what time it will be.

      2. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Not much point updating it before Peps presser tomorrow.

    7. jdp219
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Who wins in this H2H matchup?

      Me:
      DDG // Mawson, Azpi, Chilwell // Salah, Mili, Eriksen, Son // Kane (TC), Jesus, Barnes
      Bench: Ryan, Gudmundsson, Lowton, Mariappa

      Opponent (obviously don’t know forthcoming transfers, but does have TC left):
      Karius // Smalling, Mustafi, Long // Salah, Mili, Sterling, Shaqiri // Kane (TC), Vardy, Auba
      Bench: Speroni, Doucoure, Mbemba, Mariappa

      1. Epic Fail
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Sterling

        1. jdp219
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          Dammit. That's what I was fearing.

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

      tadic worth a -4 hit?

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Not for me !

      2. Epic Fail
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        For whom?

        Though the answer will still be no.

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

          for milli. i could go for arnie but that'd mean an extra hit for 38 salah.

          1. Epic Fail
            • 15 Years
            7 years, 11 months ago

            I think Arnie could more than pay you back, but yeah it's still a bit risky.

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

              cheers mate

      3. Root
        • 14 Years

        In some cases, yes.

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

        Depends who you're taking out.

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

          milli

            • 10 Years

            Nah.

      7 years, 11 months ago

      Neck and neck with rival who has all the main triple captain options.

      Who would you give triple armband to out of

      Jesus

      Kane

      Is Jesus worth the risk given he would be a slight rotation risk midweek?

      Thanks

      1. Epic Fail
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        They all have their pros and cons, go with your gut.

        1. Flynny
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          Gut says Jesus......

      2. Cojiro
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        It's 50/50 so like what epic says, go with your gut

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

      Robertson and Salah >
      Pogba and Vertonghan for free?

      Have triple city already (sterling, Silva, jesus)

      1. iCon
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Yep, other options instead of Pogba, but it's a decent punt

        1. Cojiro
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          Thanks, the only other premium option I can get if I get Vertonghan (in budget) is Alli, but don't fancy the spurs triple up

            I've Alli and likely punting on Pogba too, so not sure I can help 😆

        yes

        Yep, sounds good.

    11. Fantasy Gold

      7 years, 11 months ago

      Monreal will probably only play 1/2 games in the double.

      Worth shipping him out for a sure starter like Vertonghen you reckon?

        No mate not for me

        Kolasinac injured. Arsenal could really do with beating Burnley at the weekend.

        1. Fantasy Gold
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          Cheers all.

          Kolasinac is on the bench though mate

            Oh is he! Haven't seen the lineup yet.

      Any ideas of the front 6 for city? Have D Silva but would like another for DGW.

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        No one knows for sure but Jesus sterling kdb should all be involved

      2. Epic Fail
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        No way of knowing. Every predicted lineup is different other than Silva very likely to play otherwise he wouldn't be back in England.

      • 10 Years

      Thoughts please lads.

      A. Willian, Lingard -> Pogba, Arnautovic

      B. Willian, Kompany -> Hazard, Lejune/Bednarek

      1. Fantasy Gold
        • 11 Years

        Any news on DSilva?

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

          Tomorrow, I expect there will be

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

        Would you replace any of these midfielders with Deulofeu?

        1. Pilgrim62
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          No

    15. Pilgrim62
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Play one:
      Sanches
      KDB
      Hazard

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Kdb

      Is salah to sane worth a (-4). Cant believe I am asking but considering it all the same.

      1. iCon
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Probably not with 38 in mind

    17. Bleach †
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Current starting defensive line is Vertonghen, Chistensen & Mawson.

      Should I take a hit to transfer Christensen out?

      1. iCon
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Yes, unless you have decent bench cover

    18. The Yink
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Sterling triple captain over Kane, Sane, Erikson, Jesus and Salah? I have them all! Any help greatly appreciated

      1. Weasel Boy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        I'm going Sterling TC

      2. Team Bobcat
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Jesus appears the safest TC bet this week. Best gamble may be to just TC gw38 instead, salah!!

      3. The Yink
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        I had thought about Salah GW 38 but sterlings form is to good to ignore. I also have BB for gw38 so im good that way
