Gameweek 37 rolls on with four midweek fixtures of huge significance to Fantasy managers.

The two most captained and Triple Captained players are in action and both start.

Harry Kane heads into tonight’s contest off the back of another disappointing performance and a two-point return at The Hawthorns. He still carries the hopes of over a million managers who trusted him with the armband, with over 190,000 activating the Triple Captain chip on the Spurs striker.

Meanwhile, Gabriel Jesus is the other key man on show as champions Manchester City host Brighton and bid to shake off the malaise of Sunday’s 0-0 stalemate with Huddersfield Town.

Jesus has the backing of 277,000+ captaincies, with 75,000 of those using the Triple Captain chip on the Brazilian.

While that pair claim starts, the second most signed player for Gameweek 37 – Raheem Sterling – is missing as Pep Guardiola makes eight changes tonight.

The winger is excluded from Man City’s squad which will come as devastating news for the 264,000 who handed him the armband and, in particular, for the 69,000 managers who will now be resigned to just three points from their Triple Captain.

Elsewhere tonight, a much-changed Chelsea face Huddersfield at Stamford Bridge knowing that, should they fail to claim three points, the Blues they would surely have to surrender their bid for a top-four spot.

Meanwhile, Arsenal make the trip to a beleaguered Leicester City as they look to build on Sunday’s superb 5-0 victory over Burnley. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is the key asset for the Gunners – he is already the most signed player after his 16-points against the Clarets made him Gameweek 37’s top scorer so far.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    So I got out Alonso this week for Cedric, so didn't hurt that bad. Could have completely ignored City attackers though, (Sterling, Jesus in for Mahrez, Lukaku for a hit)

    Oh well, Hindsight.

    1. Anathallo
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Getting City attack in was a good move, could never have expected Sterling and Jesus both to blank.

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

        Yep, not gonna beat myself up over it. It all made sense but they had other plans

    After draining the dregs of my cup of sorrow in this DGW I've decided to cheer myself up, frisk the fixtures and do a few drafts of my WC18 team. All the stand out fixtures seem to be in week 2 which is going to be interesting to fit in. Is Mendy gtg for WC18?

    1. Ghost Gooner
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Mendy has hardly played. No way he is nailed for the WC

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

        Shame...French defence could be good.

  3. Fantastisk
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 9 months ago

    Mahrez and Vardy in for Sterling and Jesus for a -4?

  4. Park the bus
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 9 months ago

    Last night Was flying tonight lowest of lows! Cruel mistress this game

  5. pundit of punts
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 9 months ago

    On 91 points with DDG, Smalling and Arnautovic to go.

    Will be gutted to not get a ton tomorrow.

    1. GS456
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      nice mate.

      I have arnie and de gea.

      De Gea pen save and arnie brace.

      1. pundit of punts
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        Stuff of dreams.

  6. Cok3y5murf
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 9 months ago

    Just saw the Alonso goal.

    What kind of jam is this?

    1. Richd
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      I held cos he has a strong jaw

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

      Right place, right time.

    3. Sánchez
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Like a 7m midfielder cok3y

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

        😡

    4. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      They all count

    5. Anathallo
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Good finish. You have to be in the position to score. Reminded me of Andy Cole.

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

        Finish? Lol

        1. Anathallo
          • 16 Years
          7 years, 9 months ago

          As tempting as it is to continue playing along with this, my tongue was very firmly in cheek there.

    6. JohnnyMagrinho
        7 years, 9 months ago

        Was standing obviously where you’d expect a ‘defender’ to be.

        Has to be one of the biggest trolls in the history of FPL. That goal just sums him up. What on earth.

        1. Anathallo
          • 16 Years
          7 years, 9 months ago

          I didn't own him tonight but there can't be a better feeling than seeing your defender score a goal by having the ball kicked into their face, 10 yards from the opposition's net?

    7. XabiAlonso
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Mini leagues won now besides a small miracle thank you Alonso, vert & groß

    8. Don Kloppeone
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      I’m guessing it’s a bit much to ask for DDG cleanie, pen save and Smalling cleanie and a brace?

      60pts so far which is just the meh-est of middling mediocreness. Sucked the fun out!

      1. Anathallo
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        As a fellow 60 pointer, and if it makes you feel any better about not being in the middle, it's actually probably a bit worse than mediocre.

        1. Don Kloppeone
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 9 months ago

          Let’s not dwell on technicalities. The size of my red arrow for tonight is as small as my sympathy violin

    9. VDiesel26
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Who scores more tomorrow?

      1) Arnautovic + Masuaku
      2) Smalling + Pogba

      I have 2 another utd hopeless performance wouldnt surprise me...

      1. Aston-villain
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        2. By a distance.

    10. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      In light of the frustrations with the TC chip, I propose it gets changed to the quadruple captain chip next season for maximum madness.

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

        How about a Steal Your Rivals captain points chip.

        They're sitting all smug with their captain points from a jammie lukaku goal then boom points are in your back pocket.

        1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 9 months ago

          Hahaha 😆

        2. Gilberto.
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 9 months ago

          Haha. Can you imagine!!

      2. Rust Cohle
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        I like the idea of a double captaincy chip. Two captains one week, no VC.

        1. Toby Lerone
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 9 months ago

          This would be a great chip.

        2. Gilberto.
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 9 months ago

          I've thought this. Would much prefer it

    11. Aston-villain
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Son+Kane to Auba+Salah -4
      Yes or No ???

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        Hell no

    12. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      FML FPL is a good title for a pod...

    13. JJeyy
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Laca Auba double up worth it, think players will be up for wengers last game?

      1. VDiesel26
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        Arsenal hopeless away from home

        1. FPL Pillars
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 9 months ago

          bookmarked.

      2. Ghost Gooner
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        They have to win the last game. No away points in '18 would be terrible

        1. Toby Lerone
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 9 months ago

          Hudd no push overs

    14. Only a Hazard of time
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Anyone else go maximum-boring on GW38? Fond memories of De Gea --> Reina in 12/13 for a cool 5 whole points.

      1. Toby Lerone
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        Zaha in for willian for me. Just wish I'd have not entertained the willian idea in 32

    15. @fpl_phenom
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Just a quick one on my city assets ,

      KDB Sterling Jesus

      KDB & Sterling very likely to start GW38 now?

      Considering Jesus > Aubamayang with my free transfer...

      DDG
      Vertonghen Smalling Tark Lowton
      KDB Sterling Son Willian
      Aubamayang Kane

      Ryan Ayew Morgan Cook

      £1.1M ITB

      Anything worth a hit or Gtg?

      1. Sedemuda
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        I'd go for Laca for a sure starter.

    16. The Overthinker
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Any guesses for next year's new chip?

      1. The Overthinker
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        I would go for double captain chip. Where you'll be allowed to have two captain for a particular gw

        1. pundit of punts
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 9 months ago

          😯

      2. pundit of punts
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        Have a feeling that TC chip will be gone.

        Replace it with double points for Captain and Vice Captain.

        1. Richd
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 9 months ago

          Rotation could make that brutal !

          1. Rust Cohle
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 9 months ago

            It might not. I like the strategy question of using it in a DGW versus a week with two premium assets on form and with good fixtures.

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

          Doesn't the Norwegian one have that tho. Thought they had to have different chips

          1. pundit of punts
            • 13 Years
            7 years, 9 months ago

            Yeah FPL and them have to have different chips. Do they have that one though? I'm not very sure.

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

              Yep just signed up today. Attack attack, park the bussen and two captains. Looks great

        3. Good Times
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 9 months ago

          That sounds nice!

        4. Baps Hunter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 9 months ago

          That is close to my bet also. It is a bit dull though if it has to be during dgw. I would hope that every chip is for autumn and spring. That is close to optimal. No inflation, but close. And no-one gets them all right, so they are not game changing. And casuals learn them.

      3. Old Man Willow
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        The Park the bus chip in the Norwegian game is excellent, double points for all playing defenders that gameweek.

        1. Richd
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 9 months ago

          I’d have played that this week with Cedric Alonso and vert. ML winner

      4. Aston-villain
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        Might aswel call it the "You're whole season depends on me" Chip

        1. Aston-villain
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 9 months ago

          *your

          I don't think their English is as bad as yours though

          1. Aston-villain
            • 10 Years

            Thanks Captain Grammar.

      5. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        Quintuple captain chip

        1. Scapegoat Salah
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 9 months ago

          Completely missing out and disregarding a Quadruple captain chip

    17. Barcelinda
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      kane bps?

      1. Old Man Willow
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years

        Sanchez
        Lloris

      2. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        Will get bonus 3 on Sunday

    18. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Worth doing Kenedy to RLC and not playing Jordan Ayew?

    19. SuperMane Returns
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Need one H2H win to clinch my H2H league a week early. My rival this week has 11 more points all out, I have DDG and Arnie tomorrow. Likelihood of me overturning 11 points with these 2 against each other?

      1. mir
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        I'd say unlikely too be honest. Think you'll get 9.

        1. mir
          • 16 Years
          7 years, 9 months ago

          You need Arnie goal and baps

          1. SuperMane Returns
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 9 months ago

            Yeh Arnie goal and BAPS and 2 lots of app points.

            1. mir
              • 16 Years
              7 years, 9 months ago

              Hope you do win though as I have both those players, plus Lingard.
              Good luck.

    20. Rust Cohle
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      JAyew & Dilva > Giroud & Ramsey for -4

      1. FPL Pillars
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        no

    21. Richd
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      What do people think about Gudmunson for this week?

      1. GS456
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        doing well on the stats and good fixture...

        Depends who he enables??

        1. Richd
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 9 months ago

          I already have him he’s just been sat on the bench.

          Wondering if he’s worth replacing for a -4.

          I genuinely can’t see a transfer otherwise.

          1. Anathallo
            • 16 Years
            7 years, 9 months ago

            Would you -4 for a Breakaway? I wouldn't.

      2. Anathallo
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        I'm struggling to place him exactly but in chocolate biscuit terms he's certainly not a wagon wheel, but he is definitely better than a blue riband.

        Among the better choices at the rubbish end of the list.

    22. FPL ZB
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      FPL should stop tweeting out the BAPs at full time. Mahrez 3 and Kane 1 eh?

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        How was the date?

        1. Danno - Emre Canada
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 9 months ago

          He's checked the wrong BAPs, that's how good it went

          1. Scapegoat Salah
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 9 months ago

            Haha

          2. FPL ZB
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 9 months ago

            Haha did see some good BAPs, some worse ones on display on FPL by the look of things!

      2. Only a Hazard of time
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years

        They do it at HT as well, absolutely pointless.

      Chances Smalling is rested tomorrow? He's played a lot of games.

      1. GS456

        hope so..

      Austin can't start another, can he? 😀

    25. Gilberto.
      • 12 Years

      120 points with Smalling and Arnie left! Very happy but could have been better if not for Jesus (c)! Subtle brag? Maybe

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        Wow well done. TC Aubemayang?

        1. Gilberto.
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 9 months ago

          Jesus captain! Dubravka Vertonghen Sane and Auba did most of the business for me!

          1. Scapegoat Salah
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 9 months ago

            I’m confused. Am I being a “jesus”?

      Dump Jesus or Kane for Aubamayang?

        I really do not see the haste in either move IMO.

          Aubamayang has been class though ....

          Thinking Jesus out as pep might give someone a run out upfront now...

            That would be Sterling imo, doubt it. If KdB can play every match, why not Jesus also? What is age difference?

        Carrick is starting vs Watford, not tomorrow.

        Those 2 will play

        Glad I opted for Alonso and Vertonghen instead 😎

      What could have happened:

      Sold: Kane(TC) + Vardy + Son + Mahrez
      Bought: Auba(TC) + Jesus + Mkhi + Sterling
      Profit: 23pts
