GW37 Transfer Targets: Saka, Differentials & Who to Sell Before Friday's Deadline

Welcome back, FPL managers! With the Gameweek 37 deadline hitting on Friday at 5:30pm, there's no time to waste. In this edition we're breaking down the top three transfers in, three players you should be selling, the best differentials flying under the radar, and the one captain pick that stands head and shoulders above the rest. Let's get into it.

Before we get into transfers, here are the key news items to keep on your radar heading into the deadline.

Nearly 48,000 transfers in this gameweek, and it's easy to see why. Saka is the cornerstone of Arsenal's attacking double-up against Burnley at home on Monday the 18th of May - and Burnley have been dreadful on the road this season, conceding five away goals in their last result alone.

The underlying numbers back him up. Seven goals and nine assists across the season from a right winger who commands set pieces, drives into the box, and is Arteta's first name on the teamsheet. Early expert consensus is pointing towards an Arsenal attacking double-up, and Saka is the primary route in. If you don't own him, this is the time to act.

Captaincy verdict: Saka is also the standout GW37 captain - more on that at the bottom of this newsletter.

Anderson is the budget midfield gem of Gameweek 37. At just £5.6m and 7.1% ownership (rising fast), he represents extraordinary value for a player who is consistently delivering.

One hundred and sixty-six total points at £5.6m is remarkable budget efficiency. The Man United away fixture isn't the most glamorous on paper, but Anderson's consistency makes him a compelling option regardless. He's the kind of player who keeps ticking over - and at his price point, he frees up funds for premium assets elsewhere. If you're looking for a budget enabler who actually returns, Anderson is your man.

At just 1.5% ownership, Rayan is one of the most compelling budget differentials heading into GW37.

Yes, Bournemouth vs Man City looks tough on paper - but City's rotation issues are genuine. With uncertainty over who Guardiola will start, Bournemouth at home have the potential to exploit a weakened or rotated City side. Rayan has scored 5 goals this season as a budget midfielder and is flying under almost everyone's radar. At £5.4m and 6.5 expected points, he's one of the best cheap enablers available right now.

Eze is the most urgent sell conversation heading into the GW37 deadline.

Back-to-back 3-point hauls combined with an injury scare makes Eze very difficult to hold right now. At £7.3m, the funds are better deployed into Saka - who plays in the same general price bracket, has a superior fixture, and is virtually certain to start. If team news over the next 48 hours confirms any fitness concern for Eze, he becomes an immediate sell. Don't wait - the deadline is Friday at 5:30pm.

Manager patience is running thin with Szoboszlai, and the numbers justify the frustration.

Liverpool drawing 1-1 with Chelsea and Szoboszlai contributing nothing attacking is a pattern that's becoming hard to ignore. With a trip to Aston Villa in GW37 - rated a 4 out of 5 for difficulty for the away team - the odds of a blank feel high. At 13% ownership, there's significant captive audience pressure to hold, but the smart money is moving on. Redirect those funds into Arsenal assets.

Porro has become a frustrating blank machine and the fixture doesn't help in GW37.

The London derby against Chelsea is exactly the kind of fixture where Porro's attacking threat gets neutralised and clean sheets are hard to come by. With better defensive options available at his price point and his form trailing off, now is the time to upgrade. Don't hold out of hope - free up the funds.

If you're looking to make moves in your mini-league, these are the players most likely to haul while the majority are looking elsewhere.

Ampadu is perhaps the most under-the-radar pick in the entire game right now. Here's why he deserves serious consideration:

Seven clean sheets in a season from a sub-£5m midfielder is extraordinary. Ampadu won't win you the game on his own, but at his price point he's a reliable enabler who keeps chipping away - and the occasional 10-point haul (like GW36) is a bonus. With just 0.6% ownership, he's the kind of player who wins mini-leagues when he returns.

The captaincy decision for GW37 is as clear as it gets. Saka at home to Burnley is the fixture you want your captain in. Here's the full case:

If you have Saka, captain him with full confidence. If you don't own him yet, bringing him in as your captain this week is entirely justified.

If you're considering bringing in Arsenal defenders ahead of that Burnley home fixture, hold fire until team news drops. White and Calafiori both have fitness doubts heading into GW37. The safe bet in that Arsenal backline remains Saliba, who was recommended as a buy previously - there's no reason to deviate from that if you already hold him. For anyone else, wait for confirmed lineups before committing.

That's your complete GW37 briefing. The deadline is Friday at 5:30pm - don't leave your transfers late. Good luck this gameweek, managers!
