DGW37: This will tell you whether the team has a DGW37 A positive mention says they do.
Mins risk and Rotn risk. Minutes risk and rotation risk. I think rotation risk is self explanatory. Minutes risk refers to the likelihood of being substituted early

Key caveats
It is almost impossible to rank the players at this time of the season as gametime is so difficult to predict. What each managers objectives are difficult to ascertain and also subject to results almost week by week. I’ve given a certain amount of information to help you make a decision but each FPL manager will have their own view on gametime of players
Remember the schedule ranks players as a transfer in this week and on their points potential to the end of the season. So a player home to Huddersfield this week will have a ranking advantage on one away to Man City. However it’s only 1 factor. There’s no account for value for money so for example while Hazard may be ranked higher than Willian the price difference may make Willian attractive.
Here’s a link to the google spreadsheet. You can copy it and paste it.
A few comments
Man City
The Swansea game saw limited rotation for a home game celebration of the title but only Pep knows the extent of rotation in the coming weeks. De Bruyne has played more minutes this season than any other Man City player so unless Pep is hell bent on breaking every record then it’s possible De Bruyne could see a decent amount of rest. Next on the minutes played register for attacking midfielders comes Sterling. He though, arguably, is so explosive that even in reduced minutes you could see good returns. Predicting someone with certainty who will play both DGW37 is a difficult task. Bernardo Silva has played the least minutes by a considerable margin with David Silva and Sane next
Man Utd
I personally can see Mourinho wanting to do everything he can to finish 2nd although the FA Cup final against his former club has to be something he’s desperate to win which could affect players minutes played
Spurs
Spurs still have some work to do guarantee 4th place but if and when they do that we could see some resting of players particularly when you think Lamela and Moura have only played limited minutes. However that does depend on results
Chelsea
If the top 4 becomes mathematically impossible then Conte could rest and rotate players with the FA Cup final becoming the priority. That not only depends on their results but others as well.
Liverpool
With a 2nd UCL semi final after GW36 it’s a guessing game what team Klopp will put out in GW36 and beyond. It’s a brave man who will go without Salah in 36 v Stoke if he starts and it seems we should get a good idea of that through Klopp’s press conference and our favourite Liverpool team leaking twitter site. It’s hard to know whether he will be rested in the other games or whether his obvious desire to win the golden boot will see him continue to play.
I’ve assumed the stuff going around this afternoon re the Mane injury is incorrect and he’s fit btw although again that should become clear tomorrow hopefully.
36 Stoke (H)
37 Chelsea (A)
38 Brighton (H)
