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

      Blasted into that tip 10k too.
      Even with the wrong TC.
      Went Jesus over Alexis.
      The gunner fan in me is so jizzed. Wanted a big differential and failed.
      It was risky. Just glad he got a half decent haul too.
      No good dwelling on what could of been
      Congrats! Now stay there!

    which one? (level with ML rival)
    A) Hazard > Coutinho
    B) Hazard & Stephens > Coutinho & Azpi -4
    C)Hazard & Gabbi > Coutinho & Sturridge -4

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

      Dont take -4 for defender.

      Id do C

      1. @FPL_liverbird (liverpoolfa…
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        I just think vs sunderland him and alonso (if plays) are going to be constantly whipping balls into the box and being there for opportunities and he will play just to make it 38 from 38 fully played games

    2. An Púca
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Just A, no hits

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

    Dropped 100 places with Cech, Sanchez (c) & Jesus 😯

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

      There must have been a lot of kdbs and double arsenal defences

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

        I had hoped for double Arsenal defence but Koscielny was having none of it

      2. An Púca
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Cech, Monreal, Sanchez, Willy and Jesus(C) and I dropped 50 places on last night!

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

          I'm shocked, thought I'd finally cracked the top 1k and I fall further away from it 😆

      Well done Andy .... I have followed a lot of your tips on the pod and my OR has followed a similar pattern since GW 27.

      Cheers for the tips !

      Not sure how i ended up ahead of you though lol

  5. Sims
    • 9 Years

    9.1k to 5.1k this GW

    Top 10k secured for the season

  6. Azerbaijan Shopping Centre

    • 12 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    This game is mad .... after 2/3s of the season I couldn't even break into the top 100k and was so fed up with it.

    Tonight I am inside top 5k !

    Thanks to the community and RMT tool !

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

      Wow, good going!

  7. barracuda
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Dropped by 1k with 121 😀

  8. President Giggs
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    116 dropped me from 14k to 15k, sad times.

  9. Old Wulfrunian
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    This goal from Kanu...

  10. Red Star Toro
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    134 got me from 150k OR to 85k. Davies, Alli, Kane, Yoshida, Stephens to play. Happy with that, although this season is still such an embarrassment.

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

      Same 5 left to play for me...
      Whats your point expectation from them 5?

      1. Red Star Toro
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        No idea. Would love a few points from Davies as he's pretty much my only differential in mini leagues.

    2. Volley127
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Very similar here.

      Gone from 150k to 80k with 138 & same 5 + Gabby to play (or not).

      Was 400k only two gws ago so glad to have salvaged something at least

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

    San(c)hez, monreal, cech, Jesus, willy, sane and only rose 22 places with 156 total points this week! Lots of TC/KDB in the top 200!

    1. @FPL_liverbird (liverpoolfa…
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      wow thats bad luck

    2. Azerbaijan Shopping Centre
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      You have more players than most left to play .... I'd imagine you'll increase that green further

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

    Up 1M OR in 5 GWs 😎

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

      Still only 250k though haha

    2. @FPL_liverbird (liverpoolfa…
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      same here haha from 1.3m> 300,000

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

        We're the real winners 😉

        1. @FPL_liverbird (liverpoolfa…
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          considering how bad my year has been I was just wanting to break 2000 points in gw33 as I sat on 1571 with 5gws to go, not bad average since then haha

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

        Although is taken you 8+ GWs! Tut tut

  13. 1966 was a great year for E…
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    First time in top 10k all season - 9,846 🙂

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

    Last two GWs have been a dream!

  15. Clintymints
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Funny how it went from Sanchez having an average game then got 1 assist, wanted to be subbed, scored a goal minutes ager, was a doubtfor game two, then got 2 goals and people ended up with 81 points from him.

    What a roller coaster

    It also feels wrong to sell Haz with Sunderland up next.

    Tempted to get Fab for Haz and Cout for King... Keep a Chelsea player for the fixture and also get a go at Cout

    1. An Púca
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      But will Fab get a decent amount of time

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

    Gameweek rank of 2086 so far with a dubious 5 still to play, not bad....

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

      Amazing GW, man!
      Just keep in mind that your point gained rank this GW is somewhat lower because of them hits 😉

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

        Thanks - it was only a couple, hardly worth mentioning 🙂

  17. barracuda
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Ogie and big guns.

    Are you keeping Hazard?

    1. An Púca
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Nope..he's going for Coutinho

    2. Ógie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      I would love to discuss Barracuda but there are mini league rivals lurking and it is squeaky bum time
      I only have a 10 point lead in my local money/mini league and i know i am being spied on

      1. barracuda
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Ok mate- I will have one more question- if you could let me know your opinion pls.

  18. Sideways Backwards
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Just ran some analysis, top 10k have, on average, 4.8 players from the remaining games this GW

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

      yeah gabby is my .8

      1. Pierce34
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Lol, maybe between Gabbiadini and Stephens I have 1 whole player.

    2. andy85wsm
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Stephens, Yoshida, Davies, Alli, Kane - hope they all get a run out

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

      I have 7 but doubt all will play

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

    worrying that ive got a small green at OR1322 and moany that im not at three figures. this game starts as a bit of weed and ends at crystal meth, cant get the big highs so much after a while

    1. An Púca
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Good analogy

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

    Hazard -> Firmino 😎

  21. Pierce34
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    It's a great feeling when you're out all evening and you come back to your captain scoring 54 points 🙂

    One thing though - how on earth did Ozil get the 3 bonus with only an assist compared to the 2 goals, and a yellow card to boot?!

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

      Özil set a PL-record in chances created (started recording it in 2003/2004 I think).

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

        mr assist is back

      2. Pierce34
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Interesting, thanks.

  22. Atwood
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Stephens, Redmond and Gabbiadini

    Any chance of them starting?

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

      I think they all will.

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

        Redmond probably after the goal, but the other two? Hope you're right.

  23. Olee
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Simple Hazard->Coutinho with this bunch before GW38? Anything worth a hit?

    Cech
    Bailly-Cedric-Mustafi
    Eriksen-Hazard-Sanchez-King-JWP
    Kane-Jesus

    Caballero-Yoshida-Anichebe-Holgate
    1FT, 1.3ITB

  24. VDiesel26
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Ranked 210k at end of GW35

    TC Sanchez 36 and BB 37 to Rank 57k with 5 players left this GW

    Anyone know how I can catch up 67 points in the last GW?

    1. Pierce34
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      If I knew how to make up 67 points in the last GW I'd have a decent chance to win the whole thing 😀

  25. barracuda
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Top guns and guys with gut feelings 😀

    Would you do:

    King+Alonso for Coutinho+Holding (rival has Cech and Gibbs- I got no Arsenal defence or goalie).

    1. barracuda
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      I could keep Hazard

  26. RoysCallerAnne
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Valencia, Hazard -- > Bellerin, KDB.

    one of my better -4s this season 🙂

    NN all enjoy if you did well. Those that didn't, don't dwell. There's always work tomorrow to look forward too.

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      How about mine for next week?

      Hazard and Zaha to Coutinho and Firmino - 4, bench King.

      It's your week 😉

  27. general_franco
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    King, Alli, KDB, Sanchez and Pedro ... who should I drop for Coutinho?

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

      If anyone then Pedro

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

        Surely he'll start the next game though

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

          so will all the others you listed.

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

            He's got the best fixture though with the possible exception of Coutinho. You reckon Alli will do well in GW38?

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

      None of them

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

    I started this gw at 250k and now sit at 130k with Stephens Davies Alli and Kane left. Full on squeaky bum time to see if I can nail a surprise top 100k finish!

  29. Ógie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    How many players do ye have left after tonight you can count your captain as 2 if he has not played yet

    5 here Yoshi/Stephens/Alli/Eirksen/Kane

    1. Pierce34
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Almost the same players - Gabbiadini instead of Alli, and then the same 4.

    2. Snevitz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      Bertrand, Stephens, Gabbi, Eriksen, Rashford
      I'm not expecting much...

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

      5 - Yoshi, Stephens, Bavies, Alli & Eriksen - hoping for a full showing from the Saints.

    1. Pierce34
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      KDB kept it close - my money is still on Hakshak though. (unless Alli beats Eriksen by a lot)

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 7 months ago

        Albrighton goal would make it interesting if he plays.
