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.

    Any suggestion for a TC on GW38? I just dropped to 3rd in my ML after this disastrous week. I need a miracle with my TC which my rivals don't have.

        Worried about Walsh having limited time on pitch with one eye on Champions league.

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

      I was pretty close to bringing in Hart too for the bench boost, can't complain with Mccarthy but 19 is big!

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

        Strikers are knackered by this time of the season.

        5-4-1 next season for sure

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

    Come on Arnie mah boy!!!

  24. Hybrid.power
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    I'd like a united goal. Rival has cresswell

  25. TAT
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    I'm 32 points ahead in my mini league. Best to play safe and don't take a -4, right?

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

      you can take some -4 to block some players?

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

        Downgrade Alonso to Azpi? That's about the best I can do, I think. Priced out of blocking Kane points (I have Jesus).

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

      I'd happily take 8, even 12, in hits in order to match any really scary players that your rivals may have.

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

        Players my rival has (that I don't):
        Kane, Fernandinho, D. Silva (he'll probably transfer him out), Azpi (I have Alonso), Maguire (I have Morgan), Jones (we both have De Gea).

    3. pjomara
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      as long as you have Kane and Salah you can't be caught

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

        He has Kane, I have Salah.

  26. Ravager
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Does FPL discovery's average account for hits?

    1. shotgunnufc - MANIAC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      no

    2. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      No. "Net points scored" does.

      1. Ravager
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks guys

  27. FPL Scoop

    Smalling and Arnie goals please, then Ddg pen save from cresswell

  28. Goalosaurus
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Discounting Kane(C) double points, Masuaku is my highest points scorer... didn't see that happening.

    1. Desperately Seeking Dusan
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      ARFUR!

  29. A19
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Who to transfer out for PvA?

    A) Mustafi
    B) Mawson

    1. shotgunnufc - MANIAC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      tricky, mustafi maybe

      1. A19
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah Arsenal away form is terrible and Swansea need a CS to hope a little bit, and Stoke are relegated... Safe would be keeping Mustafi but Mawson could have a big score

  30. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Another DDG save would see him well in the BAPs race!
