Welcome to Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 37+.
GW37+ Deadline; Saturday 18th July 4.30pm GMT
But can he play left-back?
These game-weeks are getting ridiculous now. As one ends, the next starts and so it is with GW37+, although at least this one lasts for five days. This is of course due to the weekend’s FA Cup semi-finals which are between Arsenal and Manchester City and then Manchester United and Chelsea. Now the implications of these cup semis are that players from any of the aforementioned teams could pick up injuries or fatigue from their Cup matches and it also means we won’t receive team news on their opponents (Watford, Villa, West Ham and Liverpool) before they meet in midweek.
The game-week begins on Saturday early evening, 5.30pm to be precise, with a real humdinger of a game as Burnley travel to relegated Norwich. That’s our only game of Saturday. Sunday sees two matches. First up is the local derby between Bournemouth and Southampton before Spurs entertain Leicester. We then move onto Monday as Brighton host Newcastle at the same time as Sheffield United take on Everton and then later on Wolves look to brush past Palace.
Tuesday sees Watford attempt to slow the Man City goal machine before Villa host Arsenal.
Finally, we conclude on Wednesday with Man United welcoming West Ham before Chelsea go to Liverpool.
If you’re worn out by all this then rest is assured as you have three and a bit days off before the last day of the season!
As always we shall endeavour to post the line-ups prior to each phase of the relevant GW and our usual FPL Countdown Timer (to be found above the latest comments section) is once again active.

Our GW36+ Result…
Tuesday began with us owning just Pulisic but also with some trepidation that Giroud would go bananas against a profligate Norwich and we’d have a monster on our hands come the next team meeting. Sure enough l’Adonis notched but thankfully just the one (with Pulisic handily assisting) and so onto Wednesday and hopefully a David Silva Masterclass to justify our eyebrow raising sale of KDB.
Not only did we buy Dilva, we bloody well captained him! And boy are we glad we did as he brought home the hallowed treble: a goal, assist and all 3 bonus. For a total of 26. That was the good news…
Elsewhere Foden blanked again and Pope lost his CS and 3 bonus points late on. Salah and TAA similarly disappointed with a 2 and a 0.
Wednesday brought us hope with Wan-B, Bruno, Greenwood and Ings all starting. The reality was a mixed bag with a CS, an assist and a goal between them leaving us somewhat confused as to whether that was enough or that we simply expected more. Probably 70/30 in favour of the latter.
That left Friday. And last weeks hero Cresswell propping up the rear. From hero to zero. Well ok, a two point zero but all the same.
That left us with 61 points and a rank of 38k, a rise from about 50k, but that’s not our final GW36+ rank. In the interests of getting this article live we have gone early and so will update the final rank when we can, as if it matters.
GW37+ TRANSFER
We have SOLD Vardy and BOUGHT Aubameyang
As much as we do eventually get some decisions correct and we do fairly well in general (relatively speaking) we shudder to think what people would make of our thought process in terms of ‘getting there’…
This week’s discussion began with selling Vardy and quickly went onto needing a defender instead. We had Martial playing left-back and wearing the armband at one point despite already owning 3 Man Utd players (which nobody noticed) and eventually came back round to Vardy. It’s like five clowns walking into a sweet shop at times.
To save the day, and our sanity, somebody pointed out Arsenal’s two remaining games and Aubameyang was ushered in with haste.
GW37+ CAPTAIN
Our Captain for GW37+ will be BRUNO FERNANDES
Our Vice-Captain will be (whoever came in for Vardy) AUBAMEYANG
No surprises here, Mr. Consistent got the vote. He’s looked like both the best, (and at the very least) the liveliest player in the league since he arrived. So much so you almost expect some sort of FPL return every time he moves, never mind gets on the ball.

Once again bargaining on my ManUtd tripple up to put me clear. Last GW KDB>Sterling and Willian>DSilva??
Early days but that sounds good Garra
Same here re MUFC boys. Re: transfers – considering something similar myself, so I like it.
I imagine KdB to Sterling will be the hottest ticket this week.
I love Pep.
31from3
Great score GP!
Martinez cs killed
Any save points Raz?
Went with him, and now I have 10 points from Lloris sitting on my bench.
Saka 20 seconds off a 2nd point……. if 5 subs our in the league next year it will ruin fantasy football
I share your frustration and pain, Gavy, but you probably exaggerate the issue. And I daresay you weren’t expecting Saka to be your main source of points this week (though I know at this late stage that every point is sacred).
I don’t mind the 5 subs, particularly. Adds another layer.
Fair point kralin, its just the timing that has wound me up. Had it be a half time change I’d be grand lol
It can work the other way – defenders getting subbed off just after 60 mins when the score is nil. These things generally even themselves out.
Or, it could mean more players could get a look-in, cheaper players become more viable acquisitions, and the money saved can be invested in the starting 11 to get better players.
Please rate my team below
I already done with -4 sold Taylor & Lascelles both injured and buy Pieters & Mendy, Also i am with BB
Can i get Sterling and captain him instead of Salah
I would keep Salah as he could have a bit of fun versus Newcastle.
Taking a -8 into the final week isn’t the wisest thing to do.
Ok bro but whom to captain ??
Salah or KdB unless you have a brighter idea.
Kane? Off some very strong season finishes?
Plus, I’m worried MC will treat this as a going-away party for DSilva.
The going away party element is one thing that makes me about 5% wary of City.
But they’re going to have about 99% of the possession and it would be something of a surprise if they weren’t 3-0 up at half-time.
Kane is a good shout. Not particularly high ownership either.
Watford in a stinker.
Villa’s win makes the relegation battle super tasty on Sunday!
It is full of possibilities. The weirdest scenario would be Watford and Villa losing their final games, and Bournemouth getting a lucky 0-1 away win in Liverpool, while sending them both down on goal difference.
That’s a truly great scenario though it would probably haunt the sides for years and see them tumble helplessly down the leagues.
Absolutely!
First thing first though – I have tomorrow to worry about haha
And then on Sunday, I will have my eyes primarily on something else but the last day will definitely be full of great entertainment and drama, as there are so many questions yet to be answered. :popcorn:
