The first of seven days of double Gameweek 37 action gets underway at Goodison Park this evening as Everton take on Watford in the 7.45pm kick-off.

Sold by more Fantasy Premier League managers than any player since last Friday’s deadline, the Toffees’ Romelu Lukaku looks to extend his three-goal lead over Harry Kane in the race for this season’s Golden Boot.

The Belgian collected 3% of votes in our Captain Poll – more than any single-Gameweek player – and has already returned 12 points against the Hornets back in December.

Chelsea head to The Hawthorns for an 8pm kick-off knowing that a win over West Brom would clinch the Premier League crown.

Essentially, we’re looking for the Baggies to do us a favour and keep the title race alive, forcing Antonio Conte to field his big-hitters in Monday’s plum home clash against Watford and giving Spurs extra incentive in their final match at the Lane against Man United on Sunday.

Despite those concerns over potential rotation, both Eden Hazard (14%) and Diego Costa (9%) found a place in the top five of our Captain Poll – the latter is second only to Manchester City’s Gabriel Jesus for transfers in this week on the back of three goals and as many assists in his last five outings.

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

    Chances of Begovic starting against Watford?

      High

      Conte is a class act. He will give his players a run out. You will see

    4. Rainer

      Probably the most likely to come in.

        Cheers all.

    6. FPL ZB

      High since Courtois has been playing through injury the last 3 games

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

    Courtois should retire as a footballer and start a career as a interpreter.

  3. The Doc
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Owning McAuley makes up for owning Holgate, especially as I and many others had the former down for a pointless DGW! Was he injured or just tired?

  4. Bubz

    8 years, 7 months ago

    Not too confident of Fabregas starting vs Watford now. And convinced Costa wont.

    1. sminkypinky
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Costa will be collecting the royal flush of std's in the next few days.

      1. sminkypinky
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Fab might feature though. I thought he was good today. Still think Kante will play in the final.

  5. Cookie Kid

    Still trying to get over bench boost accidentally not being activated

    Someone say something to help

    1. Bruno Bruno!!

      Link?

      Use it next week

        Already activated 🙂

    3. sminkypinky

      Mate did the same. -16 too. Messed with him so much he blocked me in whatsapp.

      1. Cookie Kid
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        That actually helped. I just spent 2 FT and left incomers on bench

        Just a bit worried about Josh King going mental at home to Burnley, and 2 Arsenal cleanies

    4. ★Kuntheman★
      • 10 Years

      I don't think you'll miss out on much

          Last GW is normally high goal amounts. A good time to use a bench boost but you have missed out on this bumper game week

    5. Bilbao Baggins
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Had it active. Left subs and changing captain too late. Subs passed through at 645 and reset bench boost to not active. One of my subs Cahill remained on bench. Captain unable to be changed to Sanchez as planned. Smashed my phone. Topped you ha

      1. Cookie Kid
        • 9 Years

        Ewan, you-win.

    6. Yellin' in my Ear
      • 10 Years

      That's why you activate it at the start of the week. Do it now for next week.

  6. La Roja

    JT back with his kit as expected

  7. itwaswritten

    Should've played Gabbiadini instead of Lukakz :'(

        1. Unsuccessful
          • 11 Years

          Koeman had Benalouane (spelling) on s bench boost

    GW36 WC fail. Early WCers have won this one

      Wtf you on about

      1. diesel001

        8 years, 7 months ago

        Chelsea going to rest 11 players against Watford.
        Spurs going to rest 11 players against Utd and Leicester.

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

          Utter nonsense. 22 players rested . LOL.

          • 18 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Can't see Spurs resting - Kane is on for the Golden Boot - so why would they? Whether they can lift themselves to get points is another matter.

          And I imagine early WC's have Alonso at the very least - if not, they've missed out recently.

    2. The Tinkerman
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Not sure about that. I did mine in GW 28 ish, I have triple Spurs and double Chelsea without the flexibility to move them out without taking hits. Spurs were on a 9 match winning run, I built my team around them in the planning for this.

    3. George Sillett
      • 10 Years

      What a ludicrous comment after 2 games.

      Let's see

  16. Rainer

    Thinking Hazard starts, strolls around for 60 minutes and then gets the week off before the final.

    1. lilmessipran

      Wishful thinking

      28 points since I took Alonso out. My worse move in 10 years at my most crucial time.why didn't any of you stop me 😉

        • 13 Years

        Most have triple Chelsea + Lukaku as standard. Then it's just the odd Watford or West Brom player

        There is a slight difference

        Man Utd were pushing for the ban
