TL;DR: - five teams will play twice this gameweek (LEI, AST, EVE, BUR, CRY)- Man United will not play this week- the deadline is 10:30 BST on SUNDAY- Salah went off injured during the FA Cup Final- Watkins, Havertz, Laporte and Kulusevski are also doubts- expect plenty of Free Hits to be playedDouble Gameweek 37 is the bargain-bucket version of Double Gameweek 36, with none of the five doubling teams currently occupying the top nine.But that doesn't mean it lacks opportunity. In fact, the differential status of many of this week's doublers will almost certainly tempt those managers diligent enough to have retained their second Free Hit. Expect to see fringe players like Danny Ings, Richarlison and Wilfred Zaha suddenly taking centre stage amongst the managerial elite.For those looking to capitalise on the Double Gameweek, here are some things you should know first:- Mohamed Salah hobbled off in the 33rd minute of the FA Cup final. Keep an eye on any news, but his DGW37 prospects don't look good.- Ollie Watkins "should be available", but the more reliable sources we've looked at reckon he'll get between 90-150 of a possible 180 minutes across the gameweek.- Kai Havertz missed the FA Cup final and could be unavailable for GW37.- Dejan Kulusevski is rumoured to be ill, and a doubt for Burnley.- Aymeric Laporte trained on Saturday, but Pep will make a late decision.For more injury updates, do yourself a solid and bookmark premierinjuries.com. They're the most reliable source of up-to-the-minute injury news out there.Now then, shall we take a gander at the key stats?

This week's captaincy debate orbits around great players with one fixture vs. good players with two fixtures.The solution largely depends on the type of FPL manager you are (if that's not an existential crisis, we don't know what is). Some will decide that more minutes brings more reliability. Others will seek refuge in the sanctity of consistent form and a good single fixture.But can you have your cake and eat it too? With a very solid xGI (expected goal involvement), two goals in his last three starts and a pair of plum home fixtures, Danny Ings has a lot going for him. He gets our armband, with Richarlison a close second. Who would've predicted that a few weeks ago?
