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
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.

Think my team is shaping up will for GW37… what do you think?
Can’t really complain when you have all the ‘captain picks’ in your starting XI..!
Great team
Looks good Ian. Anything left in terms of money or transfers? Fernandinho is the only one I’d have an eye on upgrading to a more attacking player.
Team looks good. Keep an ear out for word on David Silva – was ‘confirmed’ out 30 mins before the deadline last week so there could be some late news again and Pep never seems to mention anything in his press conferences.
Is that all transfers made for the week?
Morning all.
I Duno what to do with this lot. Might take a hit or 2
I don’t really like the defence.
Either triple capt sterling or Kane.
1ft 1.3 itb.
hey shane. willian to Son/Arnie/Ramsey you can consider.
Option A: Christensen to Davies/Danilo
Option B: As above with Dunk to Naughton/Fernandez
Option C: Christensen to Danilo, Willian to Son
Option D: Christensen to Naughton, Willian to Silva/Sane or Lingard to Son
Maybe one of those, or a combination of the above appeals?
Christensen and Dunk are the only 2 i’d really want to change, Lingard/Willian are very hit and miss so a good upgrade there would probably be worth it.
Cheers bean great info
[…] Read more […]
Morning all! Cheers for the article James, and for being a man when I failed! 😉
This my lot, thinking Vardy and Willian to Tadic and Jesus? (-4) Would have to make this moved today for price rises which doesn’t sit well with me!
Other moves I’m considering are Vardy, Alonso and Willian to Jesus, Davies and Sane (-8)
No idea who I’m TCing!!
Think I quite like the -8. I think Tadic might have his points already I’d be surprised if he keeps this form up
Cheers smash! I think my budgeting was way off… by a mil! I can do that -8 but I can’t get Davies only a 4.7 – Cedric? Would that be as tempting or do I go Jesus Arnie and Davies ?
Yeah I quite fancy that -8 pays off easily.
Morning guys. Is there any news on David Silva? I’m not sure what to do. If Silva is back I’ll bring in Alli only, if he’s not I’ll bring in Alli and Sane for Salah and Silva. It would make it easier just to do the one for bringing Salah back in 38 though. What do ye think guys. Playing BB this week.
Fabianski mccarthy
cedric smalling chillwell Long Lejeune
Silva Sterling Eriksen Salah Arnie
Jesus JAyew Kane.
Thanks.
I’d wait on Silva. I think he will be back City get the trophy and can’t see him missing that. Then he might even play the other game as well as will be fresh
Cheers bud. Sounds like a plan.
Hey Gang,
This is what i’m looking like at the moment – please feel free to make suggestions
2 fts and 0.7 in the bank
Hey Neilos,
I would consider a hit here. I don’t like Brighton’s double and Morgan, well, do i need to say anything!
Get a Swan defender and Ayew and spend the rest upgrading
Gross.
VVD to Spurs or City and then either GroB or Murray to someone depending on what’s left? Nice work on the grav!
Thanks both for your input. I was thinking definitely getting Morgan and Murray out.
How about this? Morgan Vvd and Murray out
Finally sorted the grav!!
Does feel much better, assuming Laporte plays both.
Cheers buddy
Init would you risk Salah to Eriksen? That would mean no davies
Depends on any ML situation really. I think you’d probably be better off just sticking to the other plan.
