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

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.

0.5itb 2ft and willing to take a hit still got bb to use what would you’s suggest all help is appreciated.
Lukaku to Jesus, Mahrez to Sterling seems to be perfect but would probably suggest saving the BB till 38 if you did this.
If you wanted to BB this week, maybe Lukaku to Jesus, Firminio to Ayew and TAA to Davies/Vertonghen. Could even move Dunk to a Swansea defender if you thought it was worth it.
Any ML’s to consider or are you just looking for overall rank?
Going to put my team out there. Not really sure what to do here. Have 1.2 in the bank and one free transfer. Willing to go -8 I think
hey smash. downgrade christensen and do willian to sane?
Option A: Christensen to Davies/Vertonghen and Morgan to Danilo (if there is Walker news by the end of the week).
Option B: Christensen to Danilo (or Swans defender) and Willian to Son/Sane
Option C: Christensen to Danilo, Morgan to Swans defender and Willian to Son/Sane (if that works cash wise)
Any of those sound good?
I’m guessing with a -8 you would be looking to change 3 of Christensen, Morgan, Willian and Lingard? Vardy to Ayew would free a lot of cash but not sure you’re willing/need to lose him.
Thanks yeah option B is interesting Danilo and Son.
-8 would be Sane, Hazard/Erikson and Ogbonna in for Salah, Willian and Christenson. Would have to leave the money to get Salah back
Feelings on losing Salah?
Leaning towards selling and leaving cash to get him back next week. Shame I can’t have 4 City attackers
Erik and Sane could come in for Willian and him then?
Yeah I might do that
Feels scary at first but then you get used to it.
Ah, you were asking Smash…jyst realized that now… )))
Christensen+Salah+Vardy -> to a Swans defender+Tadic+Rashford or Ayew.
I really don’t see a Swansea clean sheet this week. Will monitor Rashford if Lukaku our for season
Evening all. I have 2 FTs and 0.1 ITB. WC and FH used. BB and TC left to play. Any thoughts on either of these:
2 approaches here…
1. Use my FTs to bring in Kane and downgrade someone in midfield and use BB chip.
2. Move one of Klavan/Mili/Fernández on for 2 DGW’s players then use BB chip.
Tough one that mate, who’s coming out if Kane comes in?
Hi Innit, has to be either Laca or Jesus. Both of which could outscore Kane – in theory. Although not sure Laca will play all of the Burnley game if he’s going to be in the EL this Thursday.
Got to be Laca then, you can’t take Jesus out with those fixtures. Arsenal will still be devestated after Thursday too
If you are selling salah who you bringing in?
Got to be KDB or Erikson really possibly Hazard but not convinced by Hazard. All about City and Spurs coverage I think
I’ve got 3 city so I’m thinking Alli/son/Eriksen
If I knew Son would start both games it would be him but it’s probably Erikson or Alli
Zaha to Arnie or Rambo?
I’d prefer Rambo but guess it depends on thurs. he’s more risky for starts. Do you still have that transfer spy thing on another note. Person I’m chasing has made 3 transfers early
Shit! I forgot all about that, I didn’t buy that premium pack this season but I will be
need to find out what my opponent is up to!
Depends who you already have in your team.
For instance I sold Mo + McArthur(no dgw-er) to be able to afford Tadic+Willian.
hey HL. hope you are well mate. you did another -12 right? whats your current squad looking like now?
Here it is mate :
looks good HL.. best of luck
All
Thoughts on this?
Salah, zaha and Murray out
Xhaka, Arnie and PEA in
I like the Auba punt a lot!
Although instead of Arni I would play Tadic.
Though it comes down to personal preference I guess.
I’m going with my gut/backing the Saints to “survive” …
Don’t forget your CL changes, 2 FT’s available.
Already 0-1 !
Kimmich
C’mon Bayern !!
That blokes ridiculous. He makes Alonso look like a non scoring full back. Finally bought him last week. Trouble in CL is that he’s down as a mid.
Bayern always seem to find CB’s & FB’s with those characteristics.
!!
I remember Alaba’s goal from 30yards against Juventus a few yrs ago in the CL
And now they’ve got another one suddenly in Sule, this blokes immense too!
Hey lads. Need some team advice. I have tc and bb still to play. Was going to tc this week not sure if to use on Kane Jesus sterling. Then I’m thinkin should I make use of this bb? Was going to use it the last Gameweek instead.
Also regarding transfers this week for dgw I was thinking Willian out for ali and possibly a defender United or spurs. Vardy not doing nothing for me either. Sorry a few questions here but chasing a mini league. All advice welcome thank you 1.3itb
I’d TC this week and BB next. Too many issues there to be BB’ing I think, double Burnley with no DGW and double Brighton with horrible fixtures being the main ones.
Thanks init. I think your right. Who to tc thou is my concern. Really was thinking Willian salah Vardy and chilwell our for Ali rashford kdb and smalling. -12
Yeah but the problems are all in defence and that fixes the only one I didn’t mention
I’d probably TC Sterling if it wasn’t for rotation risk.
