The day’s events conclude at the Liberty Stadium with Swansea City bidding to claim a vital three points against Everton having seen their relegation rivals slump to defeats.

From a Fantasy perspective, the main focus will be Gylfi Sigurdsson for the home side, with the Icelander having ended a run of five Gameweeks without points with a goal and an assist in his last two outings.

Sigurdsson heads into this match as part of 10.9% of Fantasy Premier League squads, having suffered a minor ownership loss this week. Involved in 53% of the Swans goals this season, with Paul Clement’s side surely buoyed by today’s earlier results, we will be expecting Sigurdsson to maintain his recent upturn.

For Everton, Romelu Lukaku is still part of 40.8% of FPL line-ups despite suffering a heavy loss of 153,000+ owners ahead of today’s game. The Belgian has scored just a single goal in his last eight away trips.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Eriksen + Alli => KDB + Hazard

    Genius or madness?

    1. Meme2011
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      like it

    2. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
      • 9 Years

      Sane to KDB for me... but maybe a Knee Jerk

    3. barracuda

      Juicy

        8 years, 7 months ago

        Just thinking that Tottingham will check out now they're basically guraunteed 2nd (although how funny would it be if they finished 4th in a two horse race!!)

  2. liiusions

    No Knee Jerk article tonight? Mark must be trying to keep Rondon to himself...

      It was funny the first time around

    Lost on last guys

    Cech/Hennessey
    Alonso, Stephens, Yoshi, Robertson, PvA
    Hazard, Sanchez, Alli, Davies, Pedro
    Kane, Jesus, Gabi

    A) Davies > Sane
    Hennessey > Cabellero

    B) Alli > KDB
    PvA > Kompany

  5. PvA
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Have the trio of: Kane, Eriksen and Alli

    Would you drop one for a Chelsea/City attacker providing Spurs have United and Leicester?

    If so, which one would you drop?

    1. T444
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Chelsea hopefully will explode and finish the league with style. Load up

      1. T444
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        I'm thinking of dropping kane

        1. PvA
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Eriksen has the least important ownership for what it's worth

  6. T444
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Into the top 100k after weeks of plugging away. What the hay if it's only for a day

    1. Bruno Bruno!!
      • 10 Years

      Same here

    2. Limited & Mediocre Mana…

      Always an achievement when you're struggling and you manage to reach milestones like this... Good luck with your final gains!

      1. T444
        • 10 Years

        Cheers! I'll be cursed for.publically hoping for a Sanchez blank.

  7. PvA

    Rotation thoughts for Chelsea and Man City?

    Chelsea have the title to play for, but that could be wrapped up next week and after that there isn't anything to play for in the last game - or do you think Conte will keep the same team for the rest of the season?

    City have the top 4 to play for which is still up in the air until the rest of the season

    1. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      City won't rotate much

      Chelsea might make wholesale changes against Sunderland

      1. Postman Ty
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        There's no chance Conte plays anything but his best 11 in the final game. It's a home game in a title winning season, they owe it to the fans and the players will damn well want to be on the field when the final whistle goes.

        1. barracuda
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          I think (and I have had a chat with some ultras) this could be on the cards.. The only exclusion could be Terry- he could play a part!

    2. T444
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Possibly Ake or John Terry getting a run. I predict exhibition matches from here on out. Could be some run in for them. They need to answer peps 5 nil

  8. VFORVANDETA
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Any suggestion? 1ft 0.1 itb

    Caballero
    Alonso Company GAbriel Yoshida
    Hazard SAnchez Eriksen
    KAne Jesus Gabbiadini

    Pickford King Coutinho* Stephens.

    1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Wait

    2. VFORVANDETA
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      No BB here.

      1. bitm2007
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Play King instead of Gabriel or Yoshida

    3. joeski29
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Hold the transfer for the last week unless there are injuries to your first 11 and consider Siggy and Llorente for Coutinho and Gabbi

  9. diesel001
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    West Ham and Sunderland. Who would have thunk it? That's football though.

    1. T444
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      And negredo last week. Kdb has hit the cross bar about 90 times this year. If a few more went in he would be essential. He's the first pick for me for 2017/18

  10. Bruno Bruno!!
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Considering Kane to Lukaku for GW37 am i crazy cant get Costa as I already have triple chelsea

    1. liiusions
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      You watched Lukaku the last 3 games?

    2. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      He doesn't have a double.

    3. GHB
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Keep Kane. He will still be massively motivated for golden boot

  11. Boomerang V
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    So is Gabriel Jesus nailed for next 2 games? is it safe to buy him now?

    1. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Probably

  12. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Chelsea nil nil on Monday would be awesome.

    1. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      It won't happen

      So no awesomeness

    2. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      3-0

      Hazard 3 goals, Costa 3 assists

      1. barracuda
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        I have always adored your predictions Diesel!

      2. dunas_dog
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        And Alonso free kick and CS!

  13. You've got red on you.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    2FT. Tekkers -----> Jesus

    How do I free up 1.6m?

    BB to be played...

    Caballero - Pickford
    Alonso - Monreal - Stephens - Bailly - Holgate
    Hazard - Sanchez - King - Eriksen - Sane
    Kane - Gabbi - Benteke

    1. FISSH
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Eriksen > Pedro

      1. bitm2007
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Very difficult, see how Arsenal preform this GW

        Sanchez to Ozil maybe

      2. You've got red on you.
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Hmmm maybe this

  14. TLF
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Let's say Chelsea beat Borough, chances are they will also beat WB away in their first DGW match. Watford would then present Conte with an opportunity to experiment and rest key players before fielding his strongest 11 in GW38. Foolish to consider Hazard > KDB ?

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      not foolish

      if they win the title friday then conte is going to rotate yes

      1. TLF
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Do you think Hazard will be one of the players rotated Bemba ?

        1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          not really sure, it's risky but could pay off

          i'd say most at risk are luiz (Carrying an injury), kante, matic (fabregas can fill in), pedro (Willian can play), costa (conte may want to try something new seeing that costa is leaving).

          He may protect hazard as he has been kicked alot this season so may decide to just give him a well deserved rest

          1. TLF
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 7 months ago

            Makes sense, plenty of time to mull it over I guess and Chelsea haven't even played Borough yet !

            1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
              • 15 Years
              8 years, 7 months ago

              then again be wary of kdb rotation, it's pep after all

              worst thing is getting rid of hazard thinking he will be rotated and kdb is rotated instead

              he's not been a sure starter this season and if aguero is back it could be risky

          2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
            • 15 Years
            8 years, 7 months ago

            add courtois too, he's carrying an injury

  15. 1569Tippins
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Hellow!

    Caballero - Cech
    Monreal - Stephens - Yoshida - Cedric - Alonso
    Eriksen - Hazard - Sanchez - Sane - Albrighton
    Costa - Jesus - Anichebe

    Be amazed if I don't reach triple figures

    1. TLF
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Like your optimism, i have a similar team with the only differences being Huth, Alli, King instead of Cedric, Sane and Albrighton.

      1. bitm2007
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Much better

    2. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      You've got a lot of faith in the Saints D, their game against middlesbough looks key.

  16. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Have we given up on spurs?

    kane to anichebe and eriksen to kdb?

    1. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      I'm keeping Kane Alli Davies as Spurs will want to go out on a high from WHL against tired/rotated ManU so will be going for it flat out. No reason not to

    2. TLF
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      I think it's a real risk to ditch Spurs assets before their final match at WHL and we all know about Kane's home form. As much as I feel KDB would be a great DGW addition, I'm not sure I'd make those moves for him.

    3. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      thanks, I think I will keep it was just an idea

      I think I will look to strengthen elsewhere

  17. Anthony77
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Would you get rid of Kane and Benteke to get Costa and Jesus for GW 37

    1. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      I'd keep Kane and find a different way of financing Tekkers to Jesus.

    2. @FPL_liverbird (liverpoolfa…
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      If you have two free transfers if not just jesus if you can

    3. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Benteke to Jesus yes

    4. You've got red on you.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      I'm in same boat.

      Tempted to downgrade spurs mid to finance it rather than Kane

      1. Anthony77
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        I'm watching the spurs fixtures..its a not the easiest

  18. @FPL_liverbird (liverpoolfa…
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    So glad BB this week:

    31 points (bench 11 so far)

    Still to play, Darmian,JWP,Gabbi,Hazard,San(C)hez,Alonso,Stephens, Gabriel

    100 club this week?

    TC option next week 🙂

    1. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      The number of players playing against each other could be a problem.

  19. You've got red on you.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Would you do Benteke and Eriksen ----> Jesus and Pedro? For free?

    1. 1569Tippins
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Yes

    2. @FPL_liverbird (liverpoolfa…
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Pedro was on my radar before last week for 37 and I think he could be a great choice. If you have alli then I think its a no brainer. if you don't then you risk it and still think its worth it.

    3. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Yes

    4. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      pedro is risky, big rotation risk

      1. You've got red on you.
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
