Fantasy Football Captain Picks Gameweek 37 2017/18
Welcome to Fantasy Football Captain Picks Gameweek 37. It’s the Triple Captain Kane gameweek. Why are you here? It’s obvious. This is GW37 we’re talking about, by the way, not GW22: that was definitely a different DGW scenario. I recall Kane going into that one with two consecutive hat-tricks. Not exactly Triple Captain material, really, was it… this time, with just 2 (actually FPL-accredited) goals in his last 7 appearances, he’ll surely meet expectations. I think that’s how this works? More to come regarding Harry soon. For now, though, please muster the strength to read this and give your penultimate push for work-league glory or, perhaps most importantly, pride.
Harry Claim vs WBA (A) and Newcastle (H)
I won’t mess around. I’ll captain Kane this weekend and I’m sure many of you will be standing with me. Here’s why: Spurs, despite Chelsea’s worst efforts, still have some work to do to secure their PL top-four spot. With no distractions — even for a man with the mental age of a toddler — and a very slim chance to catch Mo’s tally, Kane will definitely play, penalty duty being an added bonus. His first game’s against WBA who, in fairness, have taken 8 of their last 12 possible PL points. Both wins, however, have been on the road; no side has won fewer points at home. Newcastle, as well as they’ve done this year, seem to have started relaxing for summer already. I know 2 goals in those 7 appearances didn’t sound great, but I failed to mention that only 5 were 60+ minutes for him, not forgetting his admirable scoring streak before that. Hugh Hefner had pictures of Harry on all of his bedroom walls.
Will you Triple Captain this genius? I can’t forget what he did as last season concluded. It doesn’t mean he’ll inevitably score 7 goals in just 2 matches this time, but lightning can strike twice, just as a quick look at Cookie’s past-season history will confirm.

Gabriel De Sterling vs Huddersfield (H) and Brighton (H)
I saw ‘Leroy De Sterling’ in my last draft (yes, I just edit each article from one template that was made by Past James, scandalous) and it’s never applied more. ‘Gabriel’ has been chucked in there this time, largely due to the lack of a certain Argentinian in City’s team for the remainder of the season, but even Zabaleta’s presence wouldn’t discourage me from recommending Jesus as a strong DGW contender. Sterling’s overtaken KDB as their top scorer in FPL recently and only Pep’s team rotation limits his potential.
Nobody should expect a 180-minute performance from any given City attacker, but you don’t need 180 minutes to get enjoyment out of most of what life can offer, right? Many opposition defenders against Jesus and co. will claim just 90 minutes made them sore…
Form: 8 Fixture[s]: 9 and 9

Christian Eriksen vs WBA (A) and Newcastle (H)
during The Emirates FA Cup Semi Final between Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur at Wembley Stadium on April 21, 2018 in London, England.
It’s finally time for me to suggest a specific player who’s actually in good form now! His fixtures are, funnily enough, about as good as Kane’s above; scoring as a midfielder in consecutive matches against Chelsea (A) before Stoke (A) before City (H) is beyond respectable. Speaking of respect, sorry to the Stoke fans here — all 6 of you who haven’t ended it all yet — for using ‘City’ as ‘Man City’ and neglecting you. You’ve suffered more than enough already.
Let’s be brutally honest. You’re chasing a lead if you’re considering this. Well, lack consistency no more, for Christian has abundances of it and plays full 90-minute matches almost every time.
Form: 8
Fixture[s]: 8 and 8

And my differential for the week…
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang vs Burnley (H) and Leicester (A)
Europa League-locked and, finally, Arsenal have found themselves a clinical finisher once more. He’s bagged 6 goals already, with 3 assists to boot, making Pierre the sly differential that many might need.
Form: 7
Fixture[s]: 8 and 6
Explosiveness: 7
Good luck! Let’s finish this as we started: with some misplaced hope.

Gameweek Tracker GW37-38
Hey guys how are we all my season has been a trainreck , be lucky to finish in top 100k but should win works ml I’ve lost my last two hth in the Banterbury League 1 which I’m top of but need to win nk two hth.
Been forced into hit with Albrighton taking a red card so who out of Ki or Clucas & what are thoughts on taking Ederson so I’ve got two Gk playing for B.B.
Hey Silvers, Ki & Clucas could really go either way.
Ederson I like and the fixtures are as good as they get.
I have TC left, already -4, bought Tadic & Davies, If I sell Salah I would not be able to get him back unless do -4 again for 38. Is there anything else I could do? Thanks
How much cash you got Piksi?
0
9.8 if I sell Salah
Doing BB this week.1FT and 1.2ITB. planning to do willian to sane, barnes to ayew and hegazi to lejeune for -8. good moves to do?
Eresh,
Is that all your cash used up?
hi cookie. it would leave me with 0.1 if i did those three moves
Ok mate, the moves look ok. You get your 3rd City man which I think is the priority and Ayew looks worth the shout. Not sure on your Toon man but at least he has the double.
hi cookie. it was either lejeune or van der hoorn. dont think either team will keep clean sheets in their DGW.
Eresh, there’s always a surprise team in the late DGW, usually one fighting relegation….just can’t work out if it will be Saints or Swans or neither
I’d be wary with VDH. Swansea played a lot better against Chelsea when they went four at the back and that usually means he don’t play
thats true cookie. it was either van der hoorn , bednarek or lejeune i was considering to take out hegazi but hard to pick which one 😛
good point smash. not sure who to take out hegazi for yet. van der hoorn/bednarek/lejeune aren’t the best options but helps me with the cash to get sane.
I would do Hegazi+Barnes+Long to Naughton+Ayew+Cedric…
I would keep Willian…
not a bad option HL. out of willian/sane, dont you think sane could outscore him?
It’s a tough one tbh…
But everyone seems to be selling Willian and he has 2 home games…
I know he may play 2x60mins max…but with their strikers missing in action it’s either him or Haz…
LIV after Rome + dismantled HUD next.
I may be swimming against the tide here, but you saw my team…Im keeping him…
Don’t forget Sane could also be rotated and he is prone to rotation (out of all Man City’s FW’s)…
Go with your gut mate !
Whatever you think is a better option 😉 !!
thanks fr you honesty hl. did the transfers: sane, fabianski and ayew. trailing by 9 points behind my ml Leader. hopefully should be ahead by the end of next week with captain kane/sterling.
this is the squad i am up against HL
Well, unless he has a WC to use, your squad looks much better!
Best of luck in the DGW ; ) !!
he has both WC and BB but probably doesn’t know that lol. i am hoping he forgets to do his transfers and doesnt realize the deadline is on friday instead of saturday
Guessing you need to do the Hegazi move for cash? Because I don’t think Lejeune gets 4 points
hey smash. downgrading hegazi for cash since I need it to fund sane.
Maybe get the cash from Pope
hey smash. pope to mccarthy or dubravka?
Fabianski not enough then
hey smash. fabianski works. pope, willian. barnes to fabianski, ayew, sane. leaves me with 0 on the spot.
If you got Bednarek, could you afford getting Danilo for Baeur (if Walker is ruled out?)
hey cookie. i can’t afford a 4th city player if i went for danilo. I can afford danilo if i did these moves: willian, barnes, hegazi, bauer to Son, bednarek, danilo, ayew.
Eresh, sorry i forgot all about Sane!
Keep to the original plan.
no problem cookie. i can change the keeper instead to fabianski/mccarthy if i don’t transfer out hegazi. pope, willian. barnes to fabianski, ayew, sane
So torn what to do this week.
Defo thinking of a -8
Hey guys,
Team is below. Really stuck on what to do with my team after having a plan that has fallen to pot, what with Lukaku seemingly injured for a start. Can think of five options, though I’m open to any suggestions!:
1. Lukaku, Lowton – Jesus, Otamendi (12 DGW players, -4 hit)
2. McArthur, Lukaku, Lowton – Tadic, Jesus, Chilwell (13 DGW players, -8 hit)
3. McArthur, Lukaku, Lowton – Sterling, J. Ayew, Otamendi (13 DGW players, -8 hit)
4. Lowton, Lukaku, Firmino – Jesus, Aubameyang, Cedric (13 DGW players, -8 hit)
5. McArthur, Lukaku, Lowton, Firmino – Sterling, J. Ayew, Jesus, £5.6m defender – Laporte or Trippier worth a look? (14 DGW players, -12 hit)
Cheers in advance!
What about vertonghen, tadic, Jesus and rashford for lowton, mcarthur, lukaku and firmino
Hey Swirly…
Here’s another option : Lukaku/Firmino/Silva/McArthur to Jesus/Ayew/Sterling/Son probably…
1 for me Swirly
Cheers muchly, guys – will have another think. Might just ride out the price rises and falls and wait for more concrete news on a number of players before I start making hits.
Jesus, sane, Cedric (or another 4.7)
Or
Jesus, Arnie/Rambo ( if arsenal get knocked out) , Davies (or a defender up to 6.3)
Leaving – Vardy, Willian, Alonso
Merci!
1st one
No.1
