With five fixtures remaining in Double Gameweek 37, the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) transfer market has a major influence on our members’ assessment of the data so far.

Arsenal’s big January signing is joined by a Crystal Palace pair in catching the eye, while we also assess Mohamed Salah’s recent decline in form ahead of Liverpool’s potentially vital home clash with Brighton.

    Salah's expression in articles' picture = watching my team's performance in this DGW and pretty much every other week 😮

      True 😀

    Fellaini rules out for West Ham. Thank goodness for that - maybe now Man U won’t feel like they need to revert to long balls if West Ham hold them at bay for 60 minutes.

      They could always stick Mike Smalling up front

    This article strengthens the case for not getting Salah back in for GW38

      Do you think so? Liverpool been heavily involved in Champs League matches in the last month, so always going to be a downturn in his stats in the league. I will be captning Salah. At last he gets a good rest and will be firing again.

        downturn in his CL stats too though.

    Hey guys.
    I’m just going to leave this here. If any of you have a little bit of cash to spare, I’m going to Uganda in two weeks to set up a school and orphanage and any donations would be seriously appreciated.

      I don't think this should be promoted on here.

      For all anyone knows you could be a rip off con artist.

        • 12 Years

        I do understand this point, it’s very fair. But as the admin know how much I’m involved in charity, and i asked ahead of posting, they agreed.
        Been posting for years and was quite involved in the Simon Humber charity match so there is some trust.

      This is a very noble act and your selflessness is to be admired.

      I am always happy to donate to things however I will not be donating to this as I do not support these institutions for a number of reasons.

      These are just 2 links that shed some light into the matter. My views come from speaking to locals in areas I've traveled but are shared by these articles.

      I know this doesn't help your cause and I apologise for that however anyone donating money should know exactly what they are donating too.

        Grim reading, I'd be interested to hear Rupert's thoughts on this.

      2. Rupert The Horse

        7 years, 7 months ago

        Hey Pep. Thanks for posting. It is of course important to get both sides. Robert, the chap who is setting things up, is well aware of how bad some of the orphanages are in Uganda, hes trying to change that, well, at least do what he can.
        The main difference here is that his is not just an orphanage, it’s a school, with playing fields and basketball courts. It’s a whole new way of doing things in the country. They want to keep the kids active, both mentally and physically.
        Although there are some really poorly run places that look for profit than anything else, there is hope. If I can get one flagship model of such a place up and running, we’re hoping it will get the same media attention as the negative.

    Carrick on pens gw38?

    1. potatoace
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Wouldn't be surprised.

  6. Euro Raiders
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Salah is the only player I have kept all season long. Who have you kept all season, anyone?

    1. Fantastisk
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      DDG

      1. Euro Raiders
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        He was a good pick. Probably good for next season too.

    2. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      None

      1. Euro Raiders
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        What do you put your good overall ranking down to?

    3. _Gunner
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Salah and DDG

    4. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      None, no mercy

      Kane and Fernandez are the only 2 players I had in GW1

    5. Eden Wizard
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Briefly sold Salah - MUG!

    6. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      DDG and Salah (except for GW35 FH when DDG didn't have a game).

    7. Planet Head
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      Had Mee GW1-30, survived 2 WCs. Longest anyone's ever lasted

    8. Euro Raiders
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Umm.... Interesting. DDG and Salah the only ones then!

      One of mini league players (Spurs supporter) has kept Kane, Eriksen and Alli all season.

    7. pjomara

  11. Good Times
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Would appreciate the advice. 10 points behind rival. I have 1 mil itb, he has Salah, I don't. Should I be getting Salah if I'm chasing is the 1st question. Here's my team

    Ederson
    Vert long Daniel Naughton chilwell
    Eriksen sterling zaha arnie
    Kane auba jesus

    Should I do a minus 4 to do the following move
    Zaha + arnie to Salah + rlc/McArthur?

    1. *sigh*
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      I wouldn’t personally.Zaha +4 could do just as well as Salah.Id spend the free transfer and 1m on upgrading a defender.

      1. Good Times
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Cheers (Y)

    2. XabiAlonso
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Would rather have zaha and arnie at the moment

      1. Good Times
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Arnie news is important

        1. XabiAlonso
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          I'd just do arnie to a differential for free if he's out

          1. Good Times
            • 12 Years
            7 years, 7 months ago

            hmm, not too many options in the mid at the 8 mil price point

    3. Krafty Werks
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Am in similar situation and probably gonna actually bring in Zaha over Salah (my ML rival has both) but going Zaha allows me to upgrade a defender also. If i was you i'd probably stick and upgrade Daniels > Van Dijk.

      1. Good Times
        • 12 Years

      Elbows are more often used as a weapon then a protection

    Top of all but one league! The one I’m not top of had Salah and will likely Captain! The one league I am close in but top has Salah and will also likely Captain! Best option?

    A. Willian >> Zaha

    B. Willian+Alonso >> Salah+Hunemeier (-4) (and play Lowton)

    DDG
    Lowton • Smalling • Mustafi
    Eriksen • Sterling • Willian • Arnautovic
    Kane • Jesus • Austin
    (Ryan / Lowton / Morgan / Kenedy)

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA

      Lowton in Alonso in current team! Dam

  21. Holding Matip
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Anyone remember the Euro Fantasy captain "stick or twist"?

    That would be a welcome addition to FPL I think

    1. willl
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      I could see them adding it because it would make people visit between games to change C.

      I don't think it's a good idea though, it takes away the importance of captain choice when you can re-roll the dice multiple times.

      1. Holding Matip
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Realistically you only have 2 goes at Captain though, either Saturday or Sunday (the majority of the time)

        It was probably exaggerated in the Euros as a game week was over multiple days, so more "re rolling"

        I think having just 2 goes will keep people interested, and also add another dimension to the strategy of the game

          People would plan to have options in the Monday/Friday games whenever there is one.

          People are already interested, I personally feel the game is fine as it is.

    I badly need Kane to score tonight to give me some breathing space in my mini leagues.Not confident though.Could be another one of those nights.

        Those 3 assists for the Vertonghen hattrick will help too.

    This. I'm on 18 points with 14 players played! Utter disaster at the moment, I'll take what I can get!

      Did you take a 12 points hit?

      If not then you are rather unlucky.

      2nd half of DGW should be better for all of us. Stay positive.
