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.

      Hazard?

      1. Coaly

    Any advice for this week chaps - 1FT, 0.4 ITB and AOA to play with

    Downgrade Hazard to

    A) Coutinho
    B) Firmino
    C) Other

    This would enable a hit for Anichebe - Llorente OR Albrighton - Fabregas/Pedro

    Otherwise I just hold onto Haz

    1. Smoky Johnson
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Probably A

    2. Johnny 8

    a) Haz Gabbi to Cout Giroud -4

    Those Sanchez doubters 😆

    1. Frank Koscielny

      This. Might have secured me a top three and money in my ML

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

    Golden Boot:
    Lukaku 24
    Sanchez 23
    Kane 22

    Will you have all 3 for GW38?
    If you do who will you captain?

    I don't have Lukaku, thinking of doing Gabbi & Hazard/Ozil > Lukaku & benchfodder for a hit so I cover all 3. Surely all 3 teams will be helping their guy towards the GB.

    1. Smoky Johnson
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Lukaku > Jesus for a hit? Nah.

      Monreal similar hitting the post on Saturday. Kosc owners should count themselves lucky 😉

  11. It’s gonna Ben Mee

    I'm 0.1 off from doing Haz and Costa > Sanchez and Sturridge...

    What to do?

      Too late for Sanchez now.

      1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
        • 12 Years

        Mirroring my ML rival as I'm leading the out cash league. Go Cout instead?

          • 9 Years

          Need Sanchez then to be safe, unless you're leading by 50.

  12. AndyCook
      8 years, 7 months ago

      23 from an early bench boost and 157 this week with Sanchez TC. Nice when a plan pays off.

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

        Turned out to be the correct tactic. Well done!

    • NestorC
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Haz, Anich, Kosc and Vert
      to
      Cout, Costa, Ake and Bene (for a -8)

      Is it worth a punt or not?

        Could be but B'mouth haven't been as leaky lately. What do I know? End of season, could be a goal fest!

    • KickIt
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      I know he got loads of points but Sanchez missing the full bonus game is annoying, Ozil even got a yellow? How does that work!

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

        12 chances created(most in like forever), 90% pass accuracy, 3/3 take-ons.

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

          How does that compare to Sanchez? Surely has to be more weight to scoring goals as well? Like is 1 goal the same as 1 chance?

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

        Yeah i know, crazy! 2 - 0, scores the 2 goals, ozil gets assist, and somehow gets the max bonus?! I watched the game as well - both played well, but max BPS has to go to Alexis!

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

        I concur, as per below. Frustrating regardless of the haul

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

          Especially when I am now exactly 1 point behind the leader in my league!

      4. drughi
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Never seen anything like it, özil yellow also

      5. Johqvist
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        This is madness? Two goals in a 2-0 game has to be max bonus??

        1. MTPockets
            8 years, 7 months ago

            Mids don't get as many bp for goals as fwds:
            https://www.premierleague.com/news/106533

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

              Yeah that's true. I'd still say Sanchez made more impact on the game than Özil, regardless of his chances created and pass % completion. I might also be a biased Sanchez captainer but I don't think that has anything to do with it 😉

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

          Sanchez lost Bps because he gave the ball away a ridiculous amount of times

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

            To the keeper who picked it up out of the net.

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

              I have Sanchez captain as well mate. I'm just saying that's why he didn't get 3. Obviously he deserved them over Ozil

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

                1 point behind the league leader so every points counts. 🙂

      6. Parm
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        The thing about using your bench boost after a WC is you don't really know how many points it's actually added. My team would probably be different if it wasn't for my BB/AOA combo.

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

          I wasn't thinking exactly this earlier

          My bench boost is currently on 8 which sounds poor

          But I'm on 150 overall with a few to play so have to mark as success

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

          This. I set up my team on my WC to play BB this week. I spent a lot more cash on "the bench" than I normally would. That's why it's hard to say how many points BB gave me.

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

        Tempted to get in Coutinho - do i
        A)drop Hazard
        B) Costa and upgrade my bench fodder mf(T carroll) playing 3 - 5 - 2?

        Cech/Cabellero
        Cahill/Bavies/Yoshida (Stephens/Robertson)
        Sanchez/Alli/ King/ Hazard (T carroll)
        Kane / Jesus / Costa

        Have 2 FT's

      8. Moose™

        66 points should make the ML wrapped up?

        Niall Quinn just called Pickford - Pickwick 😆

          At least he didn't call Walcott, Alexis and try cover it up after 😆

      10. Evasivo
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Call me greedy, but I'm still raging and wondering how Ozil stole BPs over Sanchez...

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

          This! Posted same above.

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

            Ozil one assist and yellow card vs 2 goals mmm

        2. Delhidynamo

          12 chances created

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

          It's how the BPS points work. Personally I think bonus should be just that and not include goals or assists at all. I've suggested over several weeks the FPL game needs some tweaks but most round here don't want it to change.

      11. AC Pilkington
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Who is the better / safer captain punt?

        A) Vardy

        B) Sturridge

        1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Sturridge, more to play for

      12. Spg76

        Valencia going to play tomorrow?

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

          No, apparently didn't travel.

          1. Spg76
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 7 months ago

            I have no idea why I still have him anyway. That's why I'm a mickeymouse casual at 140000 overall

      13. drughi
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Looks like 150 points post bps with kane, eriksen, davies and stephens to go. 19 points from them I beat my all time high

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

          140 here.

          Kane(c), Eriksen and Stephens to go

          1. drughi
            • 16 Years

            not bad

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

              Harry's brace should be good enough for me to justify not captaining Alexis.

      14. Matamatics

        Who are keeping Hazard and who are selling him?

      20. woody3260
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Gabbi and Hazard to Sturridge and Willian?

        1. Smoky Johnson
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          like it

        2. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Willian is not 100% to play. Don't risk it

        3. ChampChomp
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          Good punt. Could prove a nice differential

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

          Fabregas over Willian is what I am thinking

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

          Would avoid Willian
