Double Gameweek 37 enters its fifth day of action this evening, serving up two more fixtures to entertain Fantasy managers.

Arsenal welcome Sunderland to the Emirates in the 7.45pm kick-off as Alexis Sanchez looks to add to his goal and assist haul in Saturday’s demolition of Stoke.

Captained by 10.6% of FPL managers, the Chilean is the second most popular armband pick for the Gameweek. As expected, he has shrugged off a leg problem to start against the Black Cats, while fellow weekend scorers Mesut Ozil and Olivier Giroud are also named in the first XI as Arsene Wenger’s side attempt to keep their hopes of a top-four finish alive.

Man City entertain West Bromwich Albion in the second match of their Double Gameweek at 8pm.

Sergio Aguero returns to the starting XI alongside Gabriel Jesus as Raheem Sterling drops to the bench for the home side. The Argentine produced zero points as a sub at home to Leicester on Saturday, though boasting a 17% ownership, he is City’s most captained player (8.1%) for their pair of fixtures.

The top transfer target for Double Gameweek 37, Jesus rewarded his 217,000+ new owners with an eight-point haul against the Foxes, while Leroy Sane’s 7% backers will be hoping for more of the same after he delivered a season-high 11 points in the weekend win.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    Gonna be huge battle for golden boot in the last GW, even if Kane wont score against Leicester, he can easily score 3 against Hull !

    1. NATSTER
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Yep. Just summarise below.

  2. NATSTER

    GOALS SCORED

    24 - Lukaku
    23 - Sanchez
    22 - Kane
    20 - Costa
    18 - Aguero
    17 - Alli

    Sanchez is a goal behind Lukaku. They will meet in GW 38.
    Kane are two behind but still have two games to go.

    1. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Kane will take that hands down.

    2. French Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      What happens if tie ?

      1. trinzoo
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        most assists ?

    3. trinzoo
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Costa must be on the way to China, he could easily get involved with 2 against Watford.

      1. squits
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        He didn't play against Watford though?

        1. trinzoo
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Conte decision, thats my point!

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

    Can pundit of pundits beat his previous record of 5 score posts in 30 mins ?
    He's up to 2 in 2 mins already.

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

      Don't encourage him

    2. French Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Ppl like him should get banned

  4. Big_Bear

    8 years, 7 months ago

    Looks like I'll go into final GW38 30-35 points ahead of my cash mini league opponent.

    I have asked this before but would you take 8 point hit to bring in 3 players on your opponents team or just use your FT as normal for what you thinks best. I'be taken a total of 2 hits all season so this is a case of copying my ML rival.

    1. NATSTER
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      It depends on who those 3 players are.

      1. trinzoo
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        This, and depends how much $ on the table 🙂 if a lot, then better be on the safe side!

        1. Big_Bear
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          £150 between 1st and 2nd.

    2. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      I think your safe.

      1. Big_Bear
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        So just play as normal and use FT wisely?

        I'll be captaining Sanchez as the obvious candidate.

        FT wise I'll probably do Brunt to Davies (who he owns) but if I were being defensive I could do Brunt + Kos + Hazard to Cahill + B.Davies + Eriksen

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

      Yep, just bring in any big hitters he may have that you don't and you're safe!

  5. tm370
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    As if some people were talking about selling him...

    FF gold.

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

      Haha this! So many sold wtf

  6. Bourbon, Pot Still or Islay…
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Surely an Arsenal haul this weekend?

    Everton will surely lie down hoping Liverpool don't get champions league !!??

    1. Sánchez
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Interesting.

      I'm getting coutinho in.
      Sanchez or Coutinho Captain?

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

        Chasing, Cout. Otherwise, Sanchez.

    2. tm370
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Not a haul, but I see Arsenal winning by a couple.

      Koeman is not the sort of manager to let them walk around.

    3. Deulofail
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Sunderland were dreadful today. Don't forget that

  7. Give The Todd Some Love
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Gabbiadini over Jesus went well then

    1. Kane-harry Island
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Pretty much yea

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

    I gained like 120 on ML leader in 3 weeks but he TCed Sanchez and I don't own... it's over but I rose about 10 places in ML in that tim and about 1M OR so I could hardly ask for more. Good game, people, hood game...

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

    Why did I have to make it fancy and pick Jesus over Sanchez as captain?

    1. Konig Luther
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      just 8pts difference. don't worry.

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

        8*2 so 16

        1. Konig Luther
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          check again

          sanchez 27 + jesus (c) 38 = 65
          sanchez (C) 54 + jesus (19) =73

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

          19*2 + 27
          19 + 27*2

          8 difference, stop crying

        3. Mattski
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Konig is correct;

          Jesus (c) 38pts plus Sanchez 27pts = 65pts
          Jesus 19pts plus Sanchez (c) 54pts = 73pts

          People often make this mistake when comparing captain choices.
          And by people I mainly mean myself....!

    2. Moose™
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Im on Kane. Sighhhhh

    3. HashAttack
      • 8 Years

      Sanchez playing with his shorts rolled up again?

  13. Forza Papac
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Sanchez(c), Mustafi, Czech, Willy, Jesus and Sane owner and FFF is predicting my rank to rise by 70 places..

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

      My rank predicted to rise only 32 places... from 180 to 156

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

        836 to 764 for me

        1. squits
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

        2. Hakchak
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Think it would be because they are all high eo ownership plus sane didn't do anything and mAybe some TC/ KDB owners

  14. Moose™
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    140 post baps. Kane(c), Eriksen and Stephens to go.

  16. Gooner97

    Why Zabaleta is having this farewell like Sir Alex Ferguson?

    1. Bazzalona
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      He's been a great servant.
      But this is OTT.

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

      Strange that he puts beating United in a semi final above winning the league in THAT Aguero moment!

      1. Bazzalona
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Not exactly my fave ever moment either!
        He scored in that game too.

    3. HashAttack
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Still going ... out of contract players like Navas must be wondering wtf

  17. LaLaLand
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    strong rumours that United have arranged for Keane to be re-signed from Burnley this summer!

    1. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years

      Good player

    2. WVA
      • 9 Years

      Do they need a 6th injury prone centre back!

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years

          Hopefully, that Alexis haul was much needed even as a non captainer 🙂

      • Davido989

        Well in. Always nice when good posters do well.

    3. Kane-harry Island
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Trollkaku to Jesus is a no brainer now. I'm really disappointed. Should have taken that extra hit. Oh well!

    4. Ha.
      • 10 Years

      What is Sanchez's EO?

    6. Reuser
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Took an uncharacteristic -12 this week:

      IN: Cech, Monreal, Kompany, Albrighton (27 points)

      OUT: Jaku, Robertson, Stones, Alli (1 point)

      Think it's going to turn out ok.....

      1. how now brown cow
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Alli 4 goals on thursday 😉

        1. Reuser
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Probably!

          As long as Eriksen and Kane are providing the assists......

    7. camarozz
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      141 points if baps are correct.
      Yoshida,Stephens,Davies,Ericksen,Kane,gabbiadini to play.

      I guess 2 of those S'HAMPTON players won't actually be playing??

      1. For Fuchs Sake
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Stephens might, in fact all 3 could.

    8. We Will Klopp you
      • 9 Years

      GW38 captain?
      A) Coutinho
      B) Sanchez
      C) Kane

      1. We Will Klopp you
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        D) Jesus

        1. Here's Tom with the We…
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Kane for me

      2. Coaly
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Kane, Cout, Sanchez or Giroud for me

    9. Syd.

      Get in there Zab my son

    10. Boydinho
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Best mid for 5.9 to bring in? Going Maverick for 38, have to gain 20 odd points.

      Gab - > Kane (C)
      Haz - > 5.9

    13. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      We don't have any excuses to secure CL footy now. Don't wanna tempt fate but Studge+Cout with one captain seems the way to go.

      1. how now brown cow
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        If anyone can arse up home to Boro.....

        1. Davido989
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Yep. Dunno. Might get those 2 then captain Alexis. The Ev will bend over.

          1. how now brown cow
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 7 months ago

            What's the Firmino latest?

            1. Davido989
              • 15 Years
              8 years, 7 months ago

              Should be fit. I think there will be training pics on Lfc twitter tomorrow

              1. how now brown cow
                • 11 Years
                8 years, 7 months ago

                Was considering a Firmino-Coutinho double.

                Feels so wrong selling Hazard before Sunderland though.

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

        Boro will definitely try to spoil the party

        1. Davido989
          • 15 Years

          Adama Traore brace confirmed.
