With Manchester City playing twice in Double Gameweek 37, against Chelsea and Brighton & Hove Albion, The Scout's panel of Fantasy Premier League experts pick out the best players to bring in ahead of the weekend.

The minutes for any Manchester City assets don't look very secure in Gameweek 37, given that the "first-choice team" could get a rest in the match against Brighton if, as expected, City wrap up the title at home to Chelsea. Given this scenario, I think Riyad Mahrez (£7.4m) and Julian Alvarez (£6.1m) are the two I fancy outside of Erling Haaland (£12.4m).

Haaland is the key pick. He might be rested but he could still score a hat-trick in reduced minutes across the double. I also fancy Jack Grealish (£7.2m). He is on great form and probably the safest midfielder pick at Man City in terms of minutes. If you can afford him, Kevin De Bruyne (£12.2m) would also be on my list. A defender might be more sensible, but watching Man City is more fun when you own De Bruyne, he can haul at any point and is a differential captain option.

Haaland will be essential for the Double Gameweek and has been key to our teams all year long. In midfield, I would pick Mahrez, who has been getting game time in the league. While you cannot predict Pep, I expect that to continue as he rotates across tournaments. In defence, Ruben Dias (£6.0m) would be a solid pick, but again there is still that risk of rotation.

Predicting the City line-up is harder than normal this week as many will fear rotation, particularly for the Brighton match. Haaland, Mahrez and Dias would be my top three picks, but while I expect their minutes to be high I wouldn't be surprised to see a benching or two across both matches.

With all the caveats around minutes risk, the upside with Man City attackers is always there. My top three picks would be Haaland, for obvious reasons, Mahrez and Alvarez for that outside chance of two starts. Mahrez, especially, deserves more Premier League time, given he hasn't been the usual "Champions League guy" this season. They are all so explosive that if you can get two starts out of any players they are worth it.

Owned by 83.5 per cent of the game Haaland is essential for Gameweek 37. He is also the best captaincy option, even if he doesn't play the full 90 minutes in both matches and comes off the bench against Brighton. Alongside him I still fancy Grealish to do well, especially after a couple of rests in the league around the Champions League matches. Finally, I have Ederson (£5.4m) in goal. With plenty of rotation likely, he could miss one match, but he still feels safer than a lot of the defensive picks.
