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…

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

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.

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.
Salah, Willian and Hegazi to Sane, Erik and Smalling work?
thats a good option innit. leaves me 1.1 mil short. Salah, Willian and Hegazi to Sane, Alli and Smalling leaves me 0.5 mil short.
Not that good an option then really if it doesn’t work
lol yeah innit. i guess ill stick with the original option: willian > sane, hegazi > van der hoorn and barne > ayew
Thinking of doing another -12 !
!
2nd one in 2gws
#HiMitro
I’m actually seriously considering a-12 too. Sat with a couple of players who I know will get crap all or at best 4 points this week and looking at replacements who I can easily do who have endless possibilities so it’s sort of a no brainer to roll the die really.
Was doing some math now…
And if Kane had scored that sitter -> the pts I would have gotten would have propelled me inside the Top 10k !!!
Ffs :whatever:
You masochist
eresh and Saloba – get gravs please! How long have you both been on here now? Get a grav FFS
grav?
Second that grav?
A pic next to your name!

7th question on that explains it.
It’s hardly essential but it does just make it easier to spot you and makes it feel like you are more a part of the community with an ‘identity’, as such.
Noted.
thanks innit

Hi;
Current squad is:
Lloris (McCarthy)
Smalling; Lascelles; Lejeune (Naughton; Chilwell)
Milivojevic; Salah; Sterling; Eriksen (Arnie)
Jesus; Perez; Kane
£O.1m ITB
Will used Bench Boost this GW.
Early thoughs is to go Milivojevic to Fernandinho
What are your views?
Too risky?
That’s lame, not risky
Salah to Sane and Mili to Son or something like that is what I’d be looking at.
That’s a really tempting strategy, but not enough cash.
Salah to Sane leaves 7.0m
That’s a really tempting strategy, but not enough cash and already 3 Spurs players.
Salah to Sane is ok and leaves 7.0m.
Lingard?
What about Salah to Sane; Eriksen to Ki-seung Yung and Arnie to Son for a -8?
Looks extremely risky!
Why would you sell Arnie? I’m looking at buying him!
Blus – I wouldnt go for Son over Arnie
