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
Explosiveness: 6
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.

Personally I fancy Salah to score against Chelsea but it’s getting to that point in the season where you kind of have to go a bit mad if you have to haha
But, If you’ve decided to sell, I’d go for the Sane and Ali option. Ali is hitting form at the right time of the season, Sane is class – so is Silva for that matter but if you think Sane is more explosive I don’t blame you. Both Hazard and Pogba have been inconsistent but both have the quality to make a double-digit-haul, but I’d go for the safter option myself!
Sorry this was meant to be a reply for manuman haha
Thanks for that Bob. I think I’ll go for it and bring him back again for 38.Silva might be a risk, but then again who knows so might Sane.
Thanks guys !
Kane for me (for now).
The itchy finger sindrom may do a last min change…you never know…
Had Kane in mind all along for 37 but looking at City recently with their shackles off I’m tempted with Sterling or Jesus, I can see them scoring 10 this week.
Crossed my mind too.
Shall we go for sterling? Remember a couple of us went with Carroll a few seasons ago
We were cornered into it from memory as he was the only viable option left on the last chance to play it. He still scored 1 though didn’t he?
I remember I went with Benteke last season and had a good laugh :hippo: !!
Carroll didn’t have 18 goals and who knows how many assists in that season though haha
17 😉
omg… Innit you’re right! This changes everything!!! :O
hahah
It was more than a couple of us,what were we thinking ?
Bad times!! Sterling TC, you in?
Seriously considering him or Jesus !
Salah to Hazard or KdB or Pogba?
You can’t lose KdB.
If you are up for a punt do Mo to Haz for the DGW and then get Mo back for 38 !
Evening guys, as I am playing bench boost gw38 need my transfers to consider both gw37 and gw38 I.e need players who are going to play all 3 games. Which pairing do you think is best.
1) Alonso or azpi and Ramsay
2) van der hoorn and eriksen
3) smalling and pogba or 8.3 min (not man city)
Appreciate the comments!
Can you not play it in 37?
Stick your full team up if you can as I need more context here really as I’m not really sold on any of those combos.
Not really without taking a large number of hits. My intention is to TC Kane, sterling or Jesus. Here my team below excuse the pic, keeper is fabianski. So I’m looking to take out haderjgonas and mane.
As u can see init no ideal playing bench boost this game week. I could save myself a hit and just got with my mids and fwds and just take out haderjgonaj for van Der hoorn. And next week bring in c. Palace def for Coldwell and play bench boost. Would mean not taking any hits. Only issue is I’m chasing on on MLs.
Chilwell*
1FT 1.2ITB. planning to do willian > sane, hegazi > van der hoorn and barne > ayew. let me know what you guys think and if there are other players i should consider bringing in.
