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

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
Hi guys,
5 points behind my bro now after some stellar advice from you guys caught up some ground.
Big week ahead – I’ve already transferred Van Dijk & Barnes out for Monreal & Ayew (-4).
Question is, do I need any more transfers? I am prepared for -8, question marks over Dunk and Van La Parra, but also considering Salah -> De Bruyne/Sane.
Any thoughts?
Hard to tell what will happen. Already a decent team, I think. I have too many low end defenders playing good teams this DGW, so quite worried myself.
I’m considering Salah to KdB or Hazard.
Ziddy, if you switch Salah to KDB, do you have the funds to reverse it next week? If so I would go for it. If not….how brave do you feel? Expect KDB to play both games so should score well. Can Salah score 2 at Chelsea. Maybe. Not helping you much, sorry.
Alonso and Romeu or Willian and VDH +4?
Wait what? How? Seriously? +4? They will give you +4 if you do a hit? Damn, I’ll do 20 hits this gameweek, please. ^^
hahaha, own willian already. alonso and romeu is -4 willian and VDH no hit
Would be best you show us your entire team. Can you take a screenshot and share it? Like I did below you?
Salah to Sane and Dummit to Smalling for a 4 point hit? Would mean I would also have to take 1 hit if I want Salah back, the week after.
Or should I go with something like Salah to Hazard for GW37 and Hazard to Salah for GW38?
It depends if you can afford to buy him back in GW38. What is his sale price and do you have any money in the bank?
Salah will drop 0.1m in networth. And I have 10.5m to spend.
Raz I wouldn’t hit out Salah to then hit again to buy him back. One hit over the 2GWs is fine I think but 2 I’m not sold on.
Yeah and in all honesty it would just be for a defender.
Salah to KDB and then Just switch them back for GW38 is something I’m considering
Over Hazard? I just looked at the fixtures of Chelsea. Pool dropping points is bad for Pool. If Pool lose the next match versus Chelsea, Chelsea still has a chance for the fourth spot. Which means they will go all out?
I see Salah will drop tonight, so I have to make a decision today. LOL!
Raz i like Hazard move. Thinking of doing that myself. Cheeky punt
Raz, while you’re about, and this is very specific to you because you’ll miss it –
THE DEADLINE IS FRIDAY THIS WEEK
Holy shit. Thank you for telling me this. I could have forgotten it, this week. HAHA!
So since I’ll just keep my team as it. Drop Salah in GW37 to bring him back in GW38. Who should I drop him for? Hazard, KdB or Sane? It would involve no hit.
I’d go for KDB
Hey all. Opinions please. Thinking a -8. Options are;
1. Willian, Mahrez and Morgan to Tadic, Sterling and Otamendi
or
2. Willian, Mahrez and Morgan to Arnautavic, Sterling and Swansea def.
or
3. Others with Sterling in.
Number 2 feels the better bet to me Dicky. No telling if Ota gets one, both or neither games.
Pep is not renowned for giving much absence info but keep an eye out for news r.e Walker.
Early indications were he could be out for the season (again just rumours) but this could allow you to replace Otamendi with Danilo in option A, and then maybe Tadic could become Son if you wanted.
I’m liking this Danilo info Mr Bean. Will be keeping tabs on it now so thanks.
Yeah I’m liking that actually. Danilo I would have thought will at least play in one game, probably better attacking potential too. Also yes Son would get the nod! Thanks
I got a new idea, how about Mahrez, Stephens, Lowton to Arnie, Davies, Danilo if Walker is out? That’s a -12 which would leave me with 0.1 itb.
I don’t know if there is any additional hit worth it to replace Gudmonsson with a DGW player as I will BB?
That does seem better than the earlier one.
Thanks Init
