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

    Seeing the match is a bit slow.......
    Function to Edit posts needs sorting! It's easy enough for the website developer to add into each users Profile area or as a function on the side of the comments boxes. Is anyone listening?

      maybe if people paid membership they would....

        I’d like a members only area. That’d increase memberships

          As in private message boards etc

      Think there's a good reason why you can't edit posts unless you keep the previous version too.

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years

        Or at least a 'edited at [time]' timestamp.

      Mate, it's never as easy as just adding the feature.

      Of course it's useful, but don't assume the DEVs can add it willy nilly.

      Editing messages for the first minute after posting should be a thing. Then locking down to be non-editable.

      Hate posting mispelled things 😐

    Zaha VS West Brom

    Dilemma between these two.

    1. Sánchez
      • 13 Years

    ml rival has arnie, purposely didn’t get him to stay differential, but he’s looking really good, worried about tonight and gw38

    (by the way is smalling still on direct free kicks?)

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

    Sanchez absolutely rifles a pass to Lingard from six yards which he no doubt fails to control. Commentator, "great ball there from Sanchez, always trying to make something happen".

    MUN corner.

    1. potatoace
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      all sanchez has done so far is run down the clock.

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

      Surpised how less commentator is commenting on pogbas awesome touches and dribbling through tricky situations

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

    McTominay's been crucial to United's build-up play so far. Another gem we've found from the academy.

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

      Another gem for Mourinho to sell....

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

        Mourinho loves him, went as far as benching Pogba for him....

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

        Mou aint at Chelsea anymore. Vant do whatever he likes at club of Manutd traditions

        1. Tiki-Taka
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          Doing a solid job of absolutely extinguishing any semblance of their historic attacking style

    2. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Quick, let's sign 3 more average players to be ahead of him in the pecking order!

    3. Tiki-Taka
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Will be at Wigan within 4 years

    4. Regin
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      He looks like a rubbish player. way exactly does he bring to the team?

  9. shotgunnufc - MANIAC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    shaw ‘shot’ on target

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

    J-Lingz on corners!

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

      Only on that side cause Shaw can't make it over.

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

        Making fat jokes to Rik Waller ?

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

          What you trying to say?

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

    Arnie is better than Salah imo.

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

      I love Arnie but....

  12. Louis Van Gaalstones
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    So with these performances, united to win the FA Cup with an incredible attacking showing, only to start drab and dull again next season with people getting trolled by the lot of em

    1. shotgunnufc - MANIAC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      there’s no way i’m getting any utd player aside from DDG at the start of the season no matter how they perform in the FA cup. would take a defender but which one would be safe?

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

    Smalling being owned by Arnie

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

      Didn’t he get him in for a hit?

  14. LǝgleSs e|even

    1. potatoace

    Rooney must be gutted to be missing out on the Russian prostitutes.

  17. Dog and Fox
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Vardy, Hazard -> Auba, Zaha -4?

  18. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Pogba lucky not to get a yellow

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

    Shaw is racking up the BPS!

    and no not the food variety. Shots, tackles etc. The stuff fpl love

  20. shotgunnufc - MANIAC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    West Ham looking more likely to score at the moment imo

  21. Louis Van Gaalstones
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    I can't wait to see mourinho being as vocal on Sanchez if it stays like this, cause he's so just and equal in his comments

    1. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      He won't because he gave the green light to sign Sanchez on those ridiculous wages.

      It's easier to throw young kids you didn't sign under bus. Which is also known as 'give me more money'.

  22. Waynoo
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    To be fair to Shaw he has big bones

    1. Fresh_From_Desh
      • 8 Years

      Big bonless bucket

  23. Sim Simma

    This is like watching Swansea play....

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

      That's harsh on Swansea.

  25. Positive vibes
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Prefer play Mili or Zaha (-4)?

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

      Mili

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

      Mili

  26. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Pogba almost in but decides to control the ball with his hand rather than his foot.

  27. Brehmeren
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Pogba going straight out of my team again.

    1. Richd
      • 13 Years

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

    3. TLF
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      He isnt playing badly, got into some decent positions at times.

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

        I didn't see him in one promising position

        1. George Sillett
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          Wrong website .

    • 8 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Which of these moves for - 4?

    A) Out : Dilva + Eriksen ; In : Salah + Zaha
    B) Out : Willian + Eriksen ; In : Mane + Zaha

    Rest of the midfield - Arnautovic & Sterling
