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.

    Chances of Trippier playing both games? High or not?

    1. Big P
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Not

    2. Moosie the Staggie
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Could easily miss both imo

    3. Duffy Dunk
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      He plays Fortnite with Kane and Alli at the moment.
      They may show up tired due to this addiction.
      Priorities.
      Aurier must be sleeping as Poch asked.

    Why are people hating on Alonso?

    Rested for a DGW. What's not to love?

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      He might not have a DGW with Emerson impressing.

    2. Jacket Potato
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      For me it's a price issue lots of funds tied up in a player that may not get a clean sheet and has another player rivalling for his position. But he can score a goal or 2

    Lacatalent blowing it

    1. Sim Simma

      Yes quite a lack of talent 🙂

        • 10 Years

        Well done 🙂

    Commentators keep going on about Atletico's home defensive record. But they have only played 4 teams better than them at home all season. Chelsea (conceded against them), Barcelona (conceded against them), Real Madrid (clean sheet) and Roma (clean sheet, but Roma down to 10 men too).

    Shows how uncompetitive La Liga is if anything. PL 5th best club (Chelsea) beat them away (i.e. Atletico at home). Man City might be well ahead in the PL, but othe PL's top 6 teams are pretty good by European standards.

    1. Je suis le chat
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Touch of the Arsenals about Athletico under Simeone, won't win anything more IMO.

    2. Zilla
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Sevilla, Valencia, Bilbao and Celta Vigo are good teams actually

    3. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      The 8th team in Spain knocked out the 2nd placed team in England.

    4. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Well this is so ironic if u consider Sevilla (8th placed la liga team) defeated 2nd placed EPL team(man utd) looool

      1. diesel001
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Man Utd clearly a better team than Sevilla. But something has happened to Mourinho since he got schooled by Pep in Spain. What happened to the Mourinho of 2004?

        1. LosBlancos
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          ahahah, right.

        2. Epic Fail

          So results only matter when it suits your argument?

          1. diesel001
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 1 month ago

            You are confusing absolute measures with relative measures. Where did I say the PL is competitive? None of Europe's top 5 leagues are that competitive. France and Germany are the least competitive. Followed by Italy and Spain and then the PL.

    5. Isco Disco
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      8th place Sevilla beat Man United at Old Trafford. Doea that mean Sevilla is better than United?
      Your logic makes no sense.
      La Liga is competitive now and that's why Spanish teams have been dominating the Europe in the last 5 yrs. Only delusional noobs like you will claim La Liga is not competitive

    Hope Kos recovers soon though he's been poor for a good while.

    1. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      That's a season ending injury.. Unlikely to feature in World-Cup too

  6. Prison Mike
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Already on a -4...

    Any of these moves worth another -4?

    A) Salah -> KDB / Sane (Bring back Salah in 38 for free)

    B) Tarkowski -> Naughton

    1. Botman and Robben
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      A

  7. Mackans
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    What option do you think is the best?

    A: Alonso, Fernandinho & J.Ayew

    B: VDH, A.King, & Vardy

    1. Geezer
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      A

      1. Mackans
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Why?

        1. Geezer
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          I like all of the 3 players on A better than the 3 on B. Alonso more goal threath than VdH. Leicester out of form. And Fernandinho can be involved in some of all of the City goals

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

    Do you think Alli and Son will be playing both games? Is there a more nailed option?
    Aaaaand what about my defence? All of them are playing both games, I can't decide if I should go with 3 or 4 of them (and which ones).
    Thanks!

    Karius - Fabianski
    Smalling - Maguire - Rudiger - Cedric - Fernandez
    Son - Alli - Sterling - Lingard - Kennedy
    Kane (tc) - Jesus - Barnes

    0.5ITB, 1FT.

  9. Pukki Party
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Attack:

    Salah Sane Sterling Son
    Kane Firmino Ayew

    Transfers:
    Salah, Firmino-Hazard, Jesus -4

    (Salah back for free gw38)

    Opinions?

  10. somato
    • 10 Years

    Need help! Currently chasing the leader by 23 pts. Will use TC on Kane/Jesus/[Steriling].

    DDG
    Smalling | VDH | Morgan
    Mahrez* | Willan* | Salah | Gross
    Barnes | Kane (TC) | Jesus

    Fab | Lowton | Cork | Christensen

    Has 1FT- Should I do??

    A) Willian + Cork --> Arnie + Tadic (-4) play 352
    B) Willian + Mahrez --> Arnie + Sterling (-4) play 343

    Thank you!!

    1. Pukki Party
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      B

    2. Je suis le chat
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Maybe just Willian to Arnie, don't want to extend his lead to 27 points.

    3. Geezer
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Whatever you do. Get Sterling. So B for me

  11. Sim Simma

    What a Partey shot

  12. xRedArrow
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Choose 2:

    A) Fernandez/Naughton
    B) Chambers
    C) Cresswell/Masuaku

    1. mcsteely
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      B&C

  13. The Red Devil
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Zaha or ayew this GW?

    1. jtreble
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Zaha.

  14. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Monreal wastes another chance

  15. ludaslol
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Can’t decide between Sterling & Jesus.. god damn

    On Sterling right now

    1. mcsteely
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Sterling

    2. Je suis le chat
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Jesus safer bet IMO.

    3. ludaslol
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Also chasing 65 points for 1st and 25 for 2nd.

      Both Will prolly go Jesus or Kane

    4. TLF
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      To bring in or captain ?

      1. ludaslol
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Captain. I have Jesus Sterling and Kane already

        1. TLF
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Jesus generally viewed as safer re game time and seems to be better on bps but either are a good pick.

    5. Botman and Robben
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      On Jesus

  16. mcsteely
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Perez or Ayew, and why?

    1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Ayew because fixtures

    2. shotgunnufc - MANIAC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      ayew fixtures and motivation

  17. Richd
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Cos of the Koscielny injury do you think there’s merit in triple captaining Laporte?

    1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I was thinking the same thing

  18. Tmel
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Sadly I can't find a way of bringing in Kane, Dilva & Eriksen (three players my rival has who I want to cover) without losing Salah. I then wouldn't be able to bring Salah back in without taking out Sterling/Dilva/Eriksen in GW38. Do I:

    a) Keep Salah and not cover one of Kane/Dilva/Eriksen
    b) Get all three in and then take a big midfielder back out for Salah in GW38 (likely for a hit)

    1. Je suis le chat
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Don't bother with Dilva for starters.

  19. TLF
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Do you think Austin or Tadic will score more in 37 ?

  20. Deulofail
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    I predict 1-0, Mkhitaryan

  21. threeputt
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    so on the assumption I can afford it which I think I can:
    on a free hit and planning 3x city, 2x manu, 3x tott, 1x che, 2x arse, and the rest of the subs bench will be a bunch of shite

    does that sound a good mix of numbers ? (also might depend on arsenal result tonight)

    1. Geezer
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      The important thing is who you get. Not just covering up

  22. FPL Mentor
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Top 4 Defence options for the double?

    Looking at Azpi, Monreal, Davies, Smalling?

    1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Something like that minus Arsenal IMO. MCI if we knew who was nailed.

    2. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Have a back 3 of Azpi, Smalling, Davies and Ederson in goal, hope it scores big points!

      1. FPL Mentor
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        How does Fabianski, Azpi, Smalling, Davies sound?

  23. camarozz
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    My rival will either use WC or BB this week, either way im bricking it as im only 22 pts ahead with my TC left for Jesus /Sterling /Kane.

    He has Salah so do i. Was wondering should i sell to get another dgw player? Already on -4.

    Would a -8/-12 be too much of a risk??

    I have Salah + PVA as the only sgw players at the moment but i have Morgan + Lingard for double which doesnt full me with confidence tbf ..

    1. The Big Fella
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      He will WC if he has any sense and then BB final week of the season. I definitely wouldn't be looking to take hits with such a small lead.

  24. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Thinking Lowton + Salah to Azpi + Pogz might be an option...

    1. TLF
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Could work out nicely, you not bothered about Salah in 38 ?

      1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        That's the issue

  25. EWH2020
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Christensen and Willian to Vert and Arnie -4

    Worth the hit?

    1. shotgunnufc - MANIAC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      yes for me, 2 nailed DGW for 2 players who may only play once. worth it imo

  26. Flying Finns
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Wilian to pogba looks tempting based on above?

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      What's Christensen and Willian to Vert and Arnie -4 got to do with Willian and Pogba?

    2. Geezer
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Think I rather have Arnie. If United win on friday the 2nd is almost secured and I can see some rotation midweek. And then play their Fa cup final team gw 38 except Lukaku.

    3. Flying Finns
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Was referring to the article itself, and United expected goals

  27. Dbz91
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Christensen, D.Silva, Son, Salah >>>>> Danilo, Eriksen, Sterling, Pogba (-8)

    or

    Christensen, D.Silva >>>>> 4.4, Sterling (2FT)

  28. The Big Fella
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    I have Mee, Willian and £1.5m in the bank. Who should I get? Was thinking Sterling and a 4.2m defender but I can't find a 4.2m defender that plays. Smalling, Davies, Danilo, Arnie..... these are all other options. I travel tomorrow morning too so I have to decide today. Any advice would be much appreciated!

    1. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Dummett (4.2m) or Bednarek (4.1m)

      1. The Big Fella
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks for the reply. Do you know why Dummett was taken off early last game? Will Bednarek definitely played as he has only started last 3 games all season.

        1. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Was an attack-minded change, Murphy (a Winger) came on for him as they were loosing vs WBA

  29. La Roja
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Hector ruins the counter attack

  30. AYLD28
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    DDG (Karius)
    Vertonghen, Mawson, Smalling (Lowton, Long)
    Salah, Sterling, Son, Arnie, Zaha
    Vardy, Jesus (Murray)

    1.7 itb 0 FT

    1. Salah > Hazard or KDB or Sanchez (-4)
    2. Salah + Vardy > Kane + Pogba or Ramsey (-8)
    3. Salah + Son > KDB or Hazard or Sanchez + Pogba or Ramsey (-8)
    4. Salah + Vardy + Son > Tadic + Kane + KDB

    So many options and can’t pin point a good move? Advice for advice 🙂
