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

    What we thinking lads? Captain for gw38?

    A) Kane
    B) Sanchez
    C) Coutinho

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

      Sanchez for me.

      FORM.

    2. 1966 was a great year for E…
      • 15 Years

      On A atm, depends how he does v Leicester.

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

        Currently on Kane but will see how he does vs Lei, if he blanks will hand it to Sanchez

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

      If Wenger were to say Sanchez is looking for the golden boot I'm finding it hard not to captain him.
      Otherwise Coutinho at home (Kane away) looks good.

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

    I literally have no idea what transfer to make this week. Tempted just to leave it....

    Anyone saving their FT?

    Cech
    Alonso Valencia Vertonghan
    Sanchez Hazard Alli Sane
    Jesus Kane Gabbi

    Cab Carroll Holding Yoshi

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

      Yep. Roll over to next season just to be safe.

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

        That would be sweet!

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

        Wish my Team Value could too

    2. 1966 was a great year for E…
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Sell Valencia

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

      Same dilemma here, feels wrong to waste a FT last day of the season but buying someone only to bench them would only lead to frustration. In your case maybe Gabbi out for someone: Llorente, Origi, Vokes (punt) all options

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

      Sell Valencia

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

      May as well just play Yoshi over Valencia...

    6. Ephurion
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Gabbi to Llorente seems to be the flavor of the GW

    7. DJ1000
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Maybe Alli to Coutinho

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

    Mesut Ozil created 12 chances vs. Sunderland; the most in a single game by a Premier League player since records began.

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

      Hence the 3 baps

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

        Putting the ball in the net should be the main factor! Along with his 2 goals, sanchez created a few chances as well

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

          Disagree. He's a midfielder and they should be credited for creating chances for others. Next thing you want clean sheet points gone because they didn't put the ball in the net and therefore haven't done a good job.

          You simply cannot have a team of 11 scorers.

    2. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Annoying only one was scored. Going Ozil over Sanchez was annoying to watch.

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

    A Firmino drop tonight would be appreciated 🙂

      Nope

  6. Gooner97
    • 12 Years

    Let's hope Stephens plays then

  7. Pariße
    • 10 Years

    I need absolutely perfect puns for GW38. Best ideas?

    1. Belalugozi78
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      These are mine tips
      Matip, Terry in def
      Siggy in mid
      Llorente, Rooney, Giroud , Vokes in att.

  8. Meme2011

    who are the must have players to own for final gameweek??

    1. Pique boo
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Coitinho

  9. Orion
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Nearly, looks like Pickford is more likely to get baps over Sanchez, also

  10. HuttonDressedasLahm
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    No Sanchez last week
    VC this week

    Blew my top 50 chance

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

      You have to take risks and he hasn't looked great so worth a gamble. When you're near the top you got to go for it.

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

        That was my thinking

        Had to roll the dice

  11. Pique boo

    Anybody know where I can play Somali fantasy football

    1. HuttonDressedasLahm

  12. AC Pilkington

    Is Sturridge even nailed final GW?

    Why are we under this illusion he is if Firmino is bdck?

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

      Cause Origi is shite.

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

      Sturridge was too good vs WHU. Easier to drop Lallana/Origi. Probably the latter.

  14. mike_89
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Not sure how everyone is crying over 2 baps for Sanchez. He was shite all game, look at his baps points all together + his second goal was offside. So instead of crying take a prayer and be thankful for 14 points which u sould not have.

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

      Thanks Mike_89.

    2. jason_ni
      • 9 Years

      Non owner?

      1. mike_89
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        I do own him, but cant get over this crying ffs.

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

      Lolsies. By chance, did you include him in your team as captain?

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

      Sounds like someone didn't have Sanchez

      1. mike_89
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        I did, captaind KDB though.

      What did Ozil do to deserve 3 BAaps

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

        He only created the most chances in a game ever recorded.

    7. Rainer
      • 9 Years

      15*

    8. DJ1000

      Think Sanchez is magnificent! What a player!! I captnd De Bruyne but salute Sanchez

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

      Quite right. I captained him too.

    10. BananaNose Maldonado
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      It's also a completely transparent, stats-based system. I've never understood the complaints.

      If you want more baps, get the guys who do things that get rewarded.

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

    Who woudl you drop from my midfield to a cheap bench fodder to be able to do Gabbi > Lukaku upfront as a Golden Boot punt.

    Hazard, Sane, Ozil

    1. 1966 was a great year for E…
      • 15 Years

      Hazard

    Origi/Coutinho
    (-4)

    Yay/Nay

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

      Or just Alli -> Coutinho

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

      Coutinho yes but not Origi as if Firmino fit surely he will be benched. Sturridge will start

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

        Cheers.

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

        Yes, if Albrighton scores the Lei goal it would be prefect.

        6 to play (Yos, Stephens, Bailly, Albrighton, Alli, Kane)

      1. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…

      2. Teddy Brewski

        B by some way

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

      FPL not giving Pickford another save means he loses two points. Emailed them. Remained on 11 saves & had two more following that. Disgusted.

      1. 1966 was a great year for E…
        • 15 Years

      Is the golden boot that big a deal?

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

        I think strikers care about it. Maybe also it's more of a British thing? I'm sure Kane would love to have it, whereas I imagine Sánchez might not be particularly bothered.

      2. Pique boo
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        It could be some teams only form of a trophy

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

      Depending on how Gabbi does tomorrow, how do these moves look for 2 FT?

      Alli to Coutinho
      Gabbi to Llorente

      Would leave me with

      Pickford
      Alonso Monrael Yoshida
      Sanchez Hazard Coutinho Sane
      Kane Jesus Llorente

      Caballero King Stephens Holgate

    7. Vatroslav
      • 11 Years

      Score check? 152 with 5 to go. Bench boost probably will be wasted though, only 6 points gained.

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

        Not bad sir.

        97 here with 7 players remaining so may edge over the 100 mark 🙂

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      Is being 10 behinds enough to take a wild captain punt or rely on the odd differential in my team and play safe with Sanchez / Kane (c)?

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

        10 points

      2. Smoky Johnson

        Monitor Kane. If nothing. Captain Sanchez. Be sensible.

        • 15 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Depends how similar your teams are. Just captain who you think will score the most, unless your teams are basically the same.

    11. ekul the lokonga enthusiast

        Yes. Although prefer Vardy

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

        I'm considering similar. Costa fixture could be a risky sale though
