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

    Is Salah 100% starter?

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

    1 FT and 0.0 ITB

    DDG to Karius? Other?

    DDG
    Lowton - Smalling - Vert
    Salah - Sane - Sterling - Son
    Kane - J. Ayew - Jesus

    Ryan, Long, King, Morgan

    1. Tom Heat-is-on
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Very nice team. I would do Son -> Zaha.

    2. Bggz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      smalling and ddg likely to be rested

  3. BananaNose Maldonado
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Would appreciate some feedback, DZ.

    A) Salah and Giroud
    B) Mane and Firmino

    Cheers.

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

      A looks interesting

    2. Jinswick
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      A if leading, B if chasing

      Probably A if captaining Salah

    3. BananaNose Maldonado
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Cheers, both. I'm leading by about 30 points, so A is probably the smart move. B just looks a little more fun.

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

        Yeah, definitely A with Salah(c) then. Thoughts on mine below?

  4. steven8991
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    DDG Ryan
    Lowton Mustafi Davies Chilwell Morgan
    Salah Sterling Milivojevic Pogba Lingard
    J.Ayew Jesus Kane

    1FT 0.1ITB

    A. Lingard > Shaqiri
    B. Jesus > Auba
    C. Pogba > Zaha

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

      A or C.
      Ever thought of pogba to arnie ?

  5. Jinswick
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Best move given I’m 14 points behind ML leader? Currently have 9 differentials so not sure whether a differential captain is essential...

    A) Willian -> Zaha/Arnie
    B) Barnes -> J Ayew
    C) Willian & Vardy -> Salah(c) & J Ayew (-4)

    MY TEAM
    Ddg
    Smalling, Bavies, Mawson
    STERLING*, Son, D Silva, Willian
    KANE*(c), Vardy, Barnes

    Ryan, Lowton, Gross, Chilwell
    Bank 0.1m, 1FT

    RIVAL’S EXPECTED TEAM
    Fabianski
    Alonso, Mustafi, Tomkins
    Salah(c), STERLING*, Kdb, Eriksen
    KANE*, Jesus, Perez

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

      A

    2. BananaNose Maldonado
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      If you think your rival is captaining Salah, you pretty much have to captain someone else to expect to make up the 14. I'd probably do A, and captain Kane, Sterling, or, gulp, Zaha.

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

        Yeah I think you’re right. If he doesn’t get Salah would you do C)?

        1. BananaNose Maldonado
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          That's a tough one. You are then 18 points behind (if he doesn't also take a hit). But Salah is the one player that might be able to make up that kind of deficit. How will you know his moves, by what he's got left in the bank on Saturday?

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

            Yep, he has 0.2 in the bank and has KDB (which I expect will become Salah). But I know he’s chasing in another cash league and that guy will definitely captain Salah.

    3. Andy'81
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I wouldn't do A, DDG/Smalling have been confirmed high rotation risks, Bavies will likely be rotated again as Rose was back on the bench and no one's got any idea on Silva's status yet.

      I know Willian has been very frustrating to own but I'd sooner sort one of the above problems before shifting him.

  6. Weeb Kakashi
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Leading ML By 16 points. Rival has Zaha and Arnie as differentials.

    Pick one
    A Hazard > Salah(Rival does not own him)
    B Sane Gross> Zahs Arnautovic(-4)
    C Hazard Gross> Sterling Arnautovic(-4)

  7. steven8991
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Zaha or Arnie?

    Have Milivojevic

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

      Zaha.

    2. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Zaha

  8. Paul
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Pick One
    A) Get Romero/Fabianski for DDG whom to get??

    B) Play Ryan

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

      A with Romero if no other issues.

    2. Bggz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      if you have Ryan isnt there a bigger transfer you can do?

  9. Man Chest Hair United
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Best defender up to 5.0

    Robertson

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

      If he plays I would say Carslberg.

      1. Man Chest Hair United
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Who’s that?

    Best Combo for final GW

    B. Lingard & Arnie
    C. Pogba & Shaqiri

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      A

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

    Is it sad that I don't want to post my team or possible transfers anymore as I am afraid of lurking rivals who have nearly caught me.

    "Just because your paranoid don't mean thery're not after you" 🙂

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      You can post some random transfers that you arent going to do, turn that weakness into strength 😉

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

        Strategy I like it.
        They will know its BS though
        Remember
        "Don't mean they're not after you"

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

  16. Silencetheweak
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Sterling & Sane will play the last game of the season?

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam

      sterling yes, sane maybe

  17. Kloppen Schloppen
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Any ideas? Need something!

    I think maybe Son or Gross to someone

    DDG / Ryan
    Alonso / Long / Tark / Lejuene / Morgan
    Salah / Sterling / Son / Arnie / Gross
    Kane / Jesus / Barnes

    1. My heart goes Salalalalah
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Son to Zaha or Jesus to Firmino if for free

    2. My heart goes Salalalalah
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      And bench Gross

      1. Kloppen Schloppen
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Barnes could be injured though? But I like Jesus to Bobby

    3. UpAndAway
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Any news on Barnes?

  18. My heart goes Salalalalah

    Top of the morning to all

    Ryan
    Davies Smalling(hoping) Lowton
    Arnie Zaha Sterling(c) Eriksen
    Vardy Jesus Kane

    DDG King(SWA) Mariappa Morgan

    1)Eriksen to Salah(C) for -4
    2)Vardy or Jesus to Firmino -4
    3)Other suggestion?

    1. Kloppen Schloppen
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      None of those for a hit feels great. But I guess 1 if you’re worried about Salah

    2. barton fc
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Why is jesus to firms a -4?

  19. cescpistols1
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

      Zaha

  20. cescpistols1

    Mahrez + Barnes -> Rashford + Zaha for a -4 hit?

    DDG
    Vertonghen | Lowton | VdH
    Sterling | Mahrez | Eriksen | Lingard | Gross
    Kane (TC) | Jesus

    Ryan | Barnes | Dummett | Morgan

  21. Ajax Hamsterdam
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    pogba owners, keeping or selling ? cant see him starting in view of all these rotation talks....

    1. steven8991
      • 10 Years

  22. No_Mo_Salah?
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Alli & Gross to Salah & RLC for -4? 40 point lead in ml and no Salah is a worry... ta.

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      40 points big enough cushion imo, dont make it smaller with a -4 🙂

    2. barton fc
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      If second has salah then block

  23. Regin
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Who will my ml? I am leading by 2 pts. But he's got TC left which he will play on Salah or Kane. I will be captainng Salah. 6 of our attacking players are same. the defenders is totally different.
    Mine pope (Cech), Otamendi, f Fernandez, vvd (hegazi, ogbonna) + Jordan Ayew in attack.
    His DDG +fab), smalling, chilwell, Naughton, yedlin, Tomkins + Perez in attack.
    So who will win?

    1. Kloppen Schloppen
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah you’re screwed. No TC
