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.

Seriously tempted to sell salah this week!
I would do it for Eriksen
Me too. Just don’t know for who
Hi guys, I couldn’t seem to find a reliable news about Lukaku’s injury. I would like to keep him given the appealing fixtures, but if he is gonna be out next game, even just got 1 game, I would have to change my DGW plan entirely. Can anyone shed some light on this?
They haven’t said anything yet and I’m not sure they will until the presser on Friday. And even then he’ll probably lie
Hey guys, need a little bit of help.
I’m planning to get Eriksen in place for Salah and buy Salah back for the last game. But for this to happen Salah’s price has to drop by 0.2 by the end of this week. What do you guys reckon will it drop and should I take Salah out?
My team
Looks like he’s dropping tonight. I reckon he will go again by the end of the week.
There is a good chance of a 0-2 drop KP. Many people will look at the DGW players.
Is this for a hit KP? I think Eriksen is a great shout. He can outscore Kane imo too.
No, not for a hit. I’ve 1 free transfer left.
hi,have all other 3 except for PVA.Playing bench boost thus week.1 FT 0 ITB.No news regarding Silva and also No Arsenal cover.Should I drop Silva or Salah for PVA?
Who are you thinking of buying?
If I go for PVA,no decent option in midfield.How about if I replace Silva to Arnie and upgraded Lingard to B Silva.
No point taking out one Silva who will most likely come back for another who will be rotated. I’m still unsure where PVA comes into all this
Silva got his rest, so he’s likely to play this week. I wouldn’t take him out but watch out for pressers.
Thanks Keethan
Who are you guys using your triple captain on this week?
Andy Carrol
And that’s the safe(r) option !!
I might even risk it and go with Gabbiadini !
I’ve been planning on Kane since the DGW was announced but i’m really leaning towards Jesus – over Sterling due to game time potential plus the points he’s missed out on over the past 2 games has been incredible.
Then again, if Kane goes mad and I dont TC him, think i’ll lose it.
Same dilemma here.
What’s the story lads and lassies? Quick post to stop me going mad midweek.
Is there much sense in taking a hit to downgrade someone so I can upgrade long? I have 1FT but nothing in the bank. I was really considering this, but I think I might be better off to roll over the FT to next week so I don’t have to take another hit to get Salah back.
I’m very close to catching the leader in two ML’s that I care about, I think BB will do it for me this week
If you need to downgrade anyone, it has to be Lingard. Since you’ve got United defensive coverage, only spurs defence is worth taking a hit for.
I’d leave it as it is since you got 3 spurs.
Not much appeals really but Lingard to Fernandinho, Long to another Swansea defender maybe?
Might just carry the transfer, save me taking a hit next week if I want Salah back. Sound good?
