Double Gameweek 37 comes to a close at the London Stadium this evening, as West Ham entertain Manchester United at 7.45pm.

The visitors boast three of the top ten players for transfers in ahead of last Friday’s Fantasy Premier League (FPL) deadline.

Paul Pogba (147,000) was second only to Raheem Sterling in midfield, Chris Smalling (133,000) was the most bought defender, while over 68,000 turned to Marcus Rashford up front due to Romelu Lukaku’s ankle injury.

Unfortunately for Rashford’s owners, he drops to the bench as Jose Mourinho makes eight changes as a result of Friday’s 1-0 loss at Brighton. Pogba and Smalling, along with David De Gea, are the only players to retain their starts.

Drafted in by 15,000+, the fit-again Alexis Sanchez is back on the teamsheet tonight. Similar to Pogba, he had two double-figure hauls in his four appearances prior to Gameweek 37.

This evening’s line-up suggests that Sanchez could be handed a role up front, with Antonio Valencia and Luke Shaw operating as wing-backs.

Meanwhile, De Gea – owned by over 45% – is the Red Devils’ most captained player, with over 61,000 handing him the armband.

For the Hammers, Marko Arnautovic (58,000+) was the main draw ahead of their two matches.

While the Austrian chipped in with an assist in the 2-0 win at Leicester, he was somewhat overshadowed by midfield differentials Joao Mario and Mark Noble. Both grabbed a goal apiece to tally 11 and 10 points respectively so far.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    I'm struggling to get a decent XI this week I reckon!

    As Matic didn't start tonight, would the consensus be he will play at the weekend? Thing is, he'll surely play the cup final

      Carrick already confirmed, so 50/50 Id say. Probably rested.

        7 years, 11 months ago

        I know, Carrick a definite so looks iffy.

        Might just have to stick Willian in and hope he starts.

    Double Burnley, or take a hit to get a Pool defender? Rival has VVD. Im chasing 20 points..

    1. enrico.palazzo
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Double Burnley - I’ll be doing the same! Hits for defenders will not pay off in final week as goals galore.

      No point taking a hit for a pool defender when your rival has one, you’re just making it worse!

    Current team

    DDG
    Smalling Lowton Alonso
    Willian Sterling Son Lingard
    Kane Jesus Vardy

    Ryan Tarkowski A.King Morgan

    Which transfer looks best of these? 0.5 itb

    A) Smalling to Davies
    B) Willian to Arnautovic/Zaha
    C) Vardy to Giroud

    Thanks for your comments.

    1. Maddamotha

      B Zaha

      7 years, 11 months ago

      Thoughts on this plan?

      If Barnes is fit:
      * Play Barnes vs BOU
      * Play Ryan vs liv
      * Willian -> Zaha

      If Barnes is not fit (8 pt hit):
      * Vardy -> Auba
      * DDG -> Hennessey (to fund the first move)
      * Willian -> Zaha

      • 11 Years

      Any keeper worth a hit to take out de gea? Or will Ryans saves vs pool pay off?

      1. Volley127
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Keep ryan

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

        Who's to know who will get a clean sheet? -4 for who. Most sheets will be dirty.

      3. enrico.palazzo
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Keep Ryan

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

        No keeper is worth a hit IMO

    • lastmanback
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Is Ryan to hennessy worth a - 4?

      1. the snazzy viking
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        it's a hit for a Swansea defender all over again

        1. lastmanback
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          Yeah fair point

      2. Rik Waller
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Noooooooo

      3. Volley127
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Never

    • the snazzy viking
      • 9 Years

      wish there was a mute button for RMT posts...

    • Dybala10
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Any chance Ryan will be rotated? Not sure whether to transfer out DDG or Christensen at this point.

      1. the snazzy viking
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        there is a chance everybody will be rotated..

        hold fire

      2. Volley127
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Nah

      3. Netley Lucas
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Played every PL minute, so he'll want to finish the season with a max 3420

    • Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Do you guys reckon Lingard starts on Sunday?

      1. Volley127
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        No

      2. the snazzy viking
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        yeah why not

      3. Viper
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        No, doubt it

      4. Maddamotha
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Nope

    • Rik Waller
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      My overall points of 2222 is very pleasing to the eye.

      Also, after 37 GWs, only 1 point separates me from 1st place.

      Wish me luck. 🙂

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

      Probably its not worth to transfer in a new gk for a hit right?

      1. @fpl_phenom
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        I changed DDG to fodder to upgrade Willian to Salah ....

      2. Netley Lucas
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Only if you've 2 non-starters, even then you may as well keep the 4pts

      3. Volley127
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        No

        You'll end up playing them all if rotation goes crazy.

    • fridge
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      25 points ahead in money league, not worth taking any hits right? I'm thinking just Willian to Arnie?

      De Gea
      Vert. Tark. Mawson
      Erik. Lingard. Sterling. Willian
      Kane. Jesus. Ayew

      Ryan. Ibe. Lowton. Morgan

    • liiusions
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Can't believe how much of a let down the DGWs have been this season! I got 196 points in GW37 last year and this year I've had red arrows in all 3 😆

          Need to decide between bringing in Salah vs BHA and Auba vs bha.
          Who do you think will score more points?

          A) Auba vs hud + Alli vs LEI
          B) Salah vs BHA + Vardy vs tot
