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

    Adrian another save from JLingz

  2. Rik Waller

    Pogba has to take on 1 player before he passes. It's a rule he sets himself.

      He hates getting a save point with a CS, usually one or the other.

    Sane next year could be rotated more with a fully fit Mendy around?

    1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…

      7 years, 11 months ago

      Definitely if they play 3atb, though Pep seemed to abandon that idea quite early in the season.

    Adrian will end up the GW's top scorer at this rate.

    The final gameweek is going to be so weird. What's left to play for? Is there still a champions league spot up for grabs?

    1. mir

      Must Liverpool and Chelsea with anything to play for.

    2. pjomara

      Southampton need to avoid a 10 goal swing so they'll still be tough to play against.

      Liverpool need a draw or Chelsea to drop points to secure top 4. Maybe Liverpool will be more defensive than usual?

  10. Limited & Mediocre Mana…

    Sanchez is a shocking passer of the ball.
