After Huddersfield shocked us all by holding Man City to a goalless draw at the Etihad, there’s a pair of 4.30pm fixtures to hopefully get Double Gameweek 37 on track.

Despite playing just once in Double Gameweek 37, Mohamed Salah is second only to Harry Kane for the captaincy, with 19.42% OF Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers handing him the armband for Liverpool’s trip to Chelsea.

Salah – who scored against his former employers back in Gameweek 13 – remains four goals ahead of Kane in the race for the Golden Boot after the latter’s blank at West Brom yesterday.

However, that single fixture means that, in terms of transfers out, the Egyptian (356,000+) and team-mate Roberto Firmino (272,000+) were the two most sold players ahead of last Friday’s deadline.

There was limited interest in the Blues, though, with Cesar Azpilicueta their most bought player (34,000+) for a pair of home fixtures that also includes a midweek visit from Huddersfield.

Antonio Conte’s teamsheet sees Olivier Giroud lead the line, with Eden Hazard handed a central support role behind the winter signing – only 6% of FPL managers own the Belgian, who has a goal and two assists in his last three matches across all competitions.

Elsewhere, Arsenal welcome Burnley to the Emirates in Arsene Wenger’s final home match in charge.

The Gunners’ manager names a strong attacking line-up after their midweek Europa League exit, with Pierre Emerick Aubameyang back on the teamsheet.

The Gabon international has five goals and three assists in his last seven league outings, though he looks set for a role on the left, with Alexandre Lacazette leading the line.

Handed the armband by just 1.89% and 1.81% respectively, Aubameyang and Lacazette (with four goals in four) could now emerge as big captaincy differentials, with Wenger’s men also set to face Leicester’s porous defence on Wednesday evening.

    If Wilshere stays the same price next season, he'll be in my team again. Underrated FPL prospect, regardless of how you rate him as a footballer.

    Well, we'll need to be sure he'll be a regular in the side, of course.

    1. Deulofail
      • 10 Years

      Obviously he's been woeful in actual FPL terms this season haha! I got about 1.5 ppg from him earlier on

      Squad player now

      1. Deulofail

        8 years, 1 month ago

        Not if they play 4-3-3 or if he's trusted as a number 10 type, with Ozil and Mkhi either side. The latter depends on whether Laca and Auba continue to play together or if we have a City situation with rotating forwards

        1. Ghost Gooner
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Ramsey Mkhi Ozil Xhaka all ahead of him next season

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

            That doesn't negate what I said

    3. TAT
      • 8 Years

      All depending on contract situation and manager. Oh, how nervous I am about who they'll appoint!

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

        Me too 😐

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

          Can't see who will be available or suitable for the job. Allegri would have been great, but why leave Juve?

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

            I'd honestly take Roy Hodgson for a year to get the basics right, and advertise the job to top managers. He's done such a good job with Palace, and he could bring Zaha and RLC with him too (although Chelsea unlikely to let him go).

            Just an idea, but I don't know enough about international managers tbh. Pochettino/Conte would be agreeable 😀

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

              Don't know about Roy, but I'd happily take Conte! Like the transfer work of Mislintat (I think Mavropanos was all his work), so they need to find someone who can work well together with him.

    4. diesel001

      Wilshere would be perfect for Palace as a Cabaye replacement IMO.

      Good timing. Just got an assist 😛

    If liverpool plays like this, im not surprised we'll lose everything. Lose CL final and out from the top 4.

    1. Ravager
      • 11 Years

      Might be an extreme take. A lot of teams struggle after a European week. Tired legs.

    2. A.T

      Fingers crossed

    Would a Salah goal give owners a green arrow in EO terms?

    Kola was such a fun pick at the beginning of the season.

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      That first game where he got into the oppo box for an assist from center back I thought he was gonna be something special. Maybe next year with a better manager.

      1. tm245

            Debatable. Hazard is second to messi over last 10 years in dribbles

    Hazard putting in his audition for Real Madrid.

  23. The Royal Robin

    Could really do with a Liverpool goal. Preferably Salah but it doesn't even have to be him. Wipe out that Chelsea CS.

        This^
        He's too inconsistent to play for a club like Real. We would rather have Mo or Neymar.

    Arsenal going to have a 100% win record at home against non-Top 5 teams. If they did that away from home they would be cruising in 2nd place. That is the challenge for the new Arsenal manager.

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      okay.

    2. Debauchy

      Challenge is to get the fn board to spend that is all

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

        You've spent money (Ozil, Laca, Auba, Mkhi / Sanchez). But Wenger's no defence policy so buys crap like Xhaka and Mustafi is the problem. Why weren't Arsenal in for VVD or Rudiger?

    3. Ghost Gooner
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Been a problem under Wenger lately. We do well for 1 part of the campaign but stink in the other.

      I remember us being the best team over a calendar year but it fell over 2 seasons 😆
