Double Gameweek 37 finally comes to an end this evening as Leicester City and Tottenham Hotspur go head-to-head at the King Power Stadium at 7.45pm.

After grabbing his side’s second in Sunday’s win over Man United, Harry Kane is now just two goals behind Romelu Lukaku in the race for the Golden Boot.

Having returned eight goals and three assists in his last seven starts, the Spurs striker has been handed the armband by 5.5% of FPL managers – more than any player in tonight’s encounter.

For Christian Eriksen’s 18% FPL owners, the Double Gameweek serves up one final twist – the Dane drops to the bench tonight after earning eight points against United last weekend.

Elsewhere for the visitors, Dele Alli starts as he looks to arrest a run of one goal in his previous four – the midfielder was transferred out by 56,000 FPL managers ahead of Tottenham’s pair of fixtures.

The hosts’ Jamie Vardy is the eighth most popular armband pick (2.4%) of Double Gameweek 37 on the back of seven goals and five assists in 11 appearances since Craig Shakespeare took the helm.

Meanwhile, Foxes wide man Marc Albrighton has flourished as a budget asset across that period, producing two goals and five assists in 10 outings under the new man in charge.

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

        Ville Ronka won't finish top 10K this season

    4. Taffer

      He is still the GOAT. One simply 'good' season does not make a bad player.

    5. liiusions
      • 10 Years

      It's a shame really, his rank this year will look so ugly on his record

    6. Taffer
      • 12 Years

      Like saying Buffett had lost it cos he underperformed the market between 96-99 (as a lot of people did say).

    7. Coaly

    Kane, Sanchez, Jesus and Mane core of my GW1 team next season

    1. Taffer
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      How you going to pick Sanchez when's playing for Bayern?

      1. Nanoelektronicar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years

        Frees the funds for Griezmann

    2. arndff_

      hope sanchez stays at ars

      1. Kevtheotter
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        He will be at one of the Manchester clubs

    3. XabiAlonso
      • 10 Years

      £45 mil right there

    4. Mark-O
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Do you have the money to splurge?

      1. Nanoelektronicar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Rest will be 4.5 and 4.0

    5. Botman and Robben
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      In the order you have probably looking at 13M, 12.5M, 10M, 10M, will have pretty poor players for the other slots.

    6. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Good luck affording it!

      It's usually 2-3 big hitters that are affordable, depending on how big.

      Kane and Jesus pencilled in mine. Like to get quality up front as great mid-priced mids always emerge.

  5. Pointless
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    170 points in a DGW... lowest scorer Costa (2pts) looks rather odd!

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Would rather look at that than gabby s big fat zero.

    2. bitm2007

      172 here with a 1 pointer form Anichebe.

  6. Rainer

    Heaton
    Trippier Stephens Holding Rose
    Dier Henderson
    Zaha Lallana Alli
    Kane

    Can they just give England the trophy now and not have everyone go to Russia next year?

    1. Bartowski
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Urm....Zaha?

    2. CloudSky
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Might make it out of the group. Wouldnt bet on it though.

    3. Pierce34
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Zaha plays for the Ivory Coast.

    4. acidicleo

      zaha??

    5. FPL Pillars

      Zaha is Ivory Coast dude.

    Pooch said anything about Eriksen after the game?

    1. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Is that Poch's dog ?

  8. andy85wsm
    • Has Moderation Rights

    The Son 2nd goal was fantastic, the drag back was quality.

    What I also noticed though was how fast Kane ran to try and get into position for a ball to be played in. That wasn't a man settling for being on the beach.

    Of course now we all know as he went on to score 4 but he was already looking good for next week at that point

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      I need him to blank next GW lol.

    2. DeadStarComing
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      In a weird way i'm a little worried he got so many tonight so the golden boot looks in the bag. Only a couple of days rest now. Hopefully he won't be tired.

      1. DA Minnion (Former great)
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Seen him interviewed afterwards and he said he wants to score four more on Sunday.

    3. Differentiator
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Thoughts on Vardy last GW mate? Thinking that Shakespeare now demands a reaction and plays full strength (As far as permits)

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Vardy was always going to struggle once Danny Drinkwater was out. I wouldn't go there.

    4. AA33
        8 years, 6 months ago

        You could see that he was trying his best for the golden boot. He was my captain for GW 38 before today as well 🙂

    5. AA33
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Knut Habaek has Kane. Ville Ronka doesn't.

        1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          Ronka is washed, he's played a terrible endgame.

          1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 6 months ago

            That being said, I hope he learns from this and changes it up next season.

            • 16 Years

            BS.

      • Twisted Saltergater
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Any news on Eriksen? Odd for him not to play any minutes.

        Been a nightmare couple of days; first DDG and Gabbi, then Eriksen tonight and no Kane. 40 point ML lead has become a 15 point chase in the final GW 😕

      • Going Home
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Can anyone tell me kane's EO in the top 40k?

        1. Taffer
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          roughly 50%

        2. Taffer
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          a lot of Costa owners

        3. Going Home
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          So I can expect a reasonable green arrow even without him as (c)? 🙂

        4. suddenorgan
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          top 10k is around 60%, it will be similar down there

      • Stupendous
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Alli and Hazard 12 combined for 4 matches.

        Yawn!

      • Sandy Ravage
        • 9 Years

      • Bruno Bruno!!
        • 10 Years

        Kane the savior of my DGW 154 all out with no Sanchez not bad if i may say so 🙂

        1. liiusions
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          Great score without Sanchez

          168 without sanchez
          Pretty happy with it

      • Bubz
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Mark really needs to get himself a press pass next season and ask all the managers the questions we really want to know. Like where the fook was Eriksen tonight??

        1. drughi
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          Imagine how many points eriksen would have got in this game, bit annoying

          1. George Sillett
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 6 months ago

            Pure speculation I'm afraid.

        2. Twisted Saltergater
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          Does he have a slight knock / being rested for GW38, so annoying

          Has anybody on here bettered the previous record of 205 points in a GW ?

          It has been beaten at least once this GW (see 209 link below)

                    8 years, 6 months ago

                    Just noticed that now. One person here said he got 214 points.

              Earlier I posted this....

              The well documented Spencer blunder of him losing 40 points and captaining Anichebe for DGW36 is erm...well documented.

              Anyway we are in an ML battle for top spot and going into DGW36 I was a mere 7 points behind before his blunders. Fast forward to the last game of DGW37, the gap now is 79 points in my favour.

              Tonight I have Eriksen (Grr), Vert and Alli and he has Bavies, Alli and Kane (C) and then of course he has WC in the last game and will go diff central.

              Surely he can't catch me up?

              ****** Update ****

              Well his Kane (c) just tore into that lead, he scored 58 tonight to my 7, so 51 points over me. My lead now just 28 points and he was a WC for diff central!

                28 points is alot to make up in SGW, so you still have the edge

                Similar story here, only that my lead went from 40 points to now being behind by about 15. And I scored 151 so it's not like it was a bad week for me.

                I have a feint hope of my captain eating into that lead with a bit of luck, but I think 28 points is too much for your rival.

                Keep Costa and captain him.

              Thoughts on this -4?

              Sane > Coutinho
              Gabbi > Vokes (either him or King on bench)

                I'm thinking Gabbi > Llorente

                Can't see the point of it, just to bench King

                He's been near essential since Rose was injured. CS's, assists and bonus! Glad I jumped onboard despite the naysayers.

                I was benching him up until tonight so that I could upgrade Gabbiadini. Not any more!
