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

      • 14 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Cost me 5 points for Otimendi. So annoyed.

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

        I suspect it cost most people 5 points

    3. HashAttack
      • 8 Years

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

    I am really annoyed at Otimendi losing 5 points and rival getting Kompany CS points. And also FPL not doing their job correctly regarding save points!!!!

    2. squits

    2. NATSTER

    Another year where TC was better at the end of the season than BB

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      ?

    2. JustPark
      • 9 Years

      ??

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

      TC on Sanchez would have been better than a good bench boost in my opinion

      1. Epic Fail
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        The GW hasn't finished.

    4. Pariße
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Best chip and our plans should revolve around it.

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

    Anyone know likely Baps for KDB and Sanchez?

    1. Sponge-worthy
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      3 and 2

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

      3, 2

      It shows you in the FPL site

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

        Cheers, was wondering where it was

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

      Looking like 2 for KDB and 3 for Sanchez ... between 4 and 6 in total

  10. Ravager
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    I really need Kane to do something on Thursday. A differential in the top 5 of my ML and he hasn't done enough for me lately.

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

      My rival has him captained, but I'll take a hatrick

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

    GW 38 captaincy seems harder than I thought.

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

      Kane

  12. Mark-O
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    So gutted that I didn't change the armband to Sanchez (c) due to work

    But thanks Jesus for doing a satisfying job albeit not the best 🙁

  13. Stimps
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    About 3 GWks ago I was 70 points behind the leader, Im now about 50 points ahead with 5 to play. Thank you WC + BB 🙂

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

      Hahaha that is some turnaround

  14. Knowledgeable meerkat
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    I needed tonight. 5 days ago I'd lost faith in the DGW

    Thanks for proving me wrong

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

    Any chance of Yoshida getting benched tomorrow?

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

      Unlikely

  16. Dele
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    KDB, Sanchez captain, Jesus and Pickford save points you have just catapulted me to the top of my ML.

    What a night!!!

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

      Nice one

  17. Not again Shirley
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    So I was over 100 points behind leader in my ML before this weekend but have managed to score a bit over 100 points and he is languishing on 40 odd. Still have 3 Spurs to play.

    Thing is, I have Coutinho first sub and only chance of him coming on is Gabbiadini not playing tomorrow.

    Anyone have any idea whether he will play at all?

    TBH I have been walking under a Fantasy Football ladder most of this season so with my luck he will come on as 1 point sub!

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

      I hope for your sake Gabbi doesn't play.
      Hope he does for my sake.

      1. Not again Shirley
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Yep he will deffo play but will score little to nothing.

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

    Top 10k average 115.8 apparently.
    I'll take that.
    Small green 🙂

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

    Lesson learnt. Don't get Tadic in next season.

    1. Digital-Real
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      we learnt that last season!

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

    Front line is Sanchez Haz Alli Pedro King, Kane Jesus Gabbi. Do I

    a) make no transfers, bench Gabbi
    b) Gabbi to Giroud, Haz/Pedro/King to a cheapie -4, play King
    c) Gabbi to Giroud, Haz to Cout -4

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

      Hazard to Coutinho definitely. Whether Gabbi to Giroud for a hit is up to you.

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

        Would bench King.

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

          Agreed if I took Gabbi out

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

        Thanks

        I do think Hazard will start and get at least 70 mins though

        Same with Pedro although I'm slightly less confident with that one

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

      b should say * play whichever 2 of those are left

  21. Sims
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    109 points from Sanchez alone these last 2 GWs

    Filthy

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

      This.

      Did you triple captain this week?

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

        Yes

    2. Shifty
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Dirty sanchez

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

      Think that puts to rest the question why people still owned him

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

    Still have AOA, but have a good defence, what to do! ?

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

      Ignore it

  23. Harper_
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    I think this season has taught us something, TC > BB. Prioritize using the TC on the strongest player with the best fixtures even if that means playing a weaker BB in a dgw with less dgw players.

    1. 1966 was a great year for E…
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      BB was OK last year, think I got about 25-30 points.

      1. 1966 was a great year for E…
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        And presumably plenty of people have got Stephens / Yoshida to play

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

      Not really. TV more explosive but BB will get u more points 7/10;times. Need to use it on nailed on players and on an earlier dgw

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

      I think that's right.

      That said though, a Saints cs tomorrow might make the bench boost look a bit better for some.

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

      This

    5. Johnnyboy UK
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Amen. Rotation of gw 37 destroys BB. But play BB after a WC is still good option imo.

  24. JayBomb
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    148 after Baps

  25. Messiah Hazard
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Hazard Costa Alonso

    Who is likely to play from these 3 in GW38?

    1. La Roja
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      All 3

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

        This

  26. Shifty
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Scoutcast out for -20?

    All 4 of them on the beach.

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

      5 you idiot

      1. Gnu
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Fight. Fight. Fight.
        My moneys on Shifty.

    2. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      I got rid a long time ago.

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

    Mark: Bench boosting is like popping one out. Pure genius.

  28. Ryan Naysmith
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Lads!!! can i just say that tonight has been a GLORIOUS night for fantasy. What an evening.

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

    So who of attacking players do you think Pep most likely to bench on Sunday ?

    Sterling
    Sane
    Jesus
    Aguero
    De Bruyne

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

      Sterling

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

      Sterling

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

      Based on the amount of football played recently Sane, Jesus or KDB... since he has come back from injury recently probably Jesus. But who knows. Pep seems to love Jesus and Sane for what that's worth..

  30. mattzkn
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    On 138 points and finally in the top 250!

    Got Stephens, de Gea, Gabi, Bailly, Ali & Davies to play so hopefully a a couple of small rises before Sunday...

    1. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      hold that ddg thought

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

      well done Sir!

      Btw, Mou said Romero will play one of the remaining PL games.

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

      Fantastic score! And 6 to play will be above average imo.

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

        Cheers, the bench boost has only got me 3 points so far! Not sure how many of those 6 will play, i will be happy with 4 of them!

    4. ronty
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      DDG isn't playing.. So 5

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

        Is he not? I thought he played league and Romero cup?

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

          Not part of match day squad

      2. mattzkn
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Not that it really matters where the players are but i have got DDG, Stephens, Bailly and Gabi on the bench. Quite possible that only Bailly will play so the 4 x dgw BB players will get a total 2-4 points between them, gutted
