Welcome, FPL managers! With the Gameweek 37 deadline arriving this Friday, May 15th at 5:30pm, there's no time to waste. We've broken down the biggest transfer decisions you need to make right now - from rotation-risk premiums to sub-5% differentials that could transform your rank in the final two gameweeks. Let's get into it.
🔥 Big GW36 News You Can't Ignore
Haaland
João Pedro
Before we get into the transfers, here's the key context shaping your GW37 decisions:
Man City rotated heavily against Palace - Haaland, Cherki, and Doku all started on the bench, with O'Reilly not even in the squad. Rotation risk is very real heading into GW37 against Bournemouth away.
Rogers and Gibbs-White from Nott'm Forest are reportedly carrying fitness concerns, opening the door for mid-price midfield replacements.
Mohamed Salah is reportedly heading for a Liverpool farewell at the end of the season. With just two gameweeks left, the question is whether he's still worth holding - Liverpool face Aston Villa in GW37 on Friday the 15th of May, a tricky fixture on paper.
⚠️ Deadline reminder: Friday, May 15th at 5:30pm. Aston Villa vs Liverpool kicks off at 7pm that same evening, so get your team in early!
✅ GW37 Buys
1. Jérémy Doku (Man City) - £6.5m | 5.9% ownership
Now, the hosts acknowledged they said sell yesterday - but Doku's GW36 performance changed things. He came off the bench to score, kept a clean sheet, and picked up three bonus points for a total of 12 points in GW36. That's the kind of ceiling that keeps him in your squad.
Price: £6.5m
Ownership: 5.9%
GW36 points: 12 (1 goal, clean sheet, 3 bonus points)
Season totals: 5 goals, 8 assists
Form rating: 7.0
Expected points GW37: 7.5 vs Bournemouth (away)
Total FPL points this season: 117
The rotation risk is still very real - he started on the bench in GW36. But when he plays, the upside is enormous. If you can stomach the uncertainty, the 7.5 expected points projection is the highest ceiling available for GW37 captaincy.
Verdict: Good buy, but eyes wide open on rotation.
2. Ferdi Kadıoğlu (Brighton) - £4.4m | 1.4% ownership
This is the differential you cannot ignore. The Brighton left-back delivered 6 points in GW36 with a clean sheet in the 3-0 win over Wolves, and his season-long record is outstanding for the price point.
Price: £4.4m
Ownership: 1.4%
GW36 points: 6 (clean sheet)
10 clean sheets this season - exceptional for a sub-£4.5m defender
Expected points GW37: 6.3 vs Leeds (fixture difficulty: 3v3)
Brighton vs Leeds is a very playable fixture at this stage of the season
Ten clean sheets at £4.4m is simply extraordinary value. At just 1.4% ownership, bringing him in immediately gives you a meaningful differential advantage over your mini-league rivals. If you're looking for budget options, our bargain players tool highlights picks like Kadıoğlu who offer outstanding value under £4.5m.
Verdict: Essential differential. Outstanding value at this price point.
3. Kobbie Mainoo (Man Utd) - £4.7m | 1.2% ownership
Mainoo played the full 90 minutes in GW36's goalless draw at Sunderland, picking up 5 points including a clean sheet bonus. He's another brilliant low-ownership differential with a favourable fixture ahead.
Price: £4.7m
Ownership: 1.2%
GW36 points: 5 (full 90 mins, clean sheet)
Season totals: 1 goal, 2 assists
Expected points GW37: 6.0 vs Nott'm Forest
Man Utd vs Nott'm Forest is enhanced further if Rogers and Gibbs-White miss out through injury
At £4.7m, Mainoo frees up significant budget for use elsewhere in your squad - and at 1.2% owned, he's a true differential. The Forest injury concerns over Rogers and Gibbs-White could make this fixture even more favourable for United.
Verdict: Good differential pick - especially if Forest's injuries are confirmed.
❌ GW37 Sells
1. Bukayo Saka (Arsenal) - £10.0m | 11.6% ownership
This one stings. Just two days ago the podcast recommended buying Saka, but his GW36 return of just 2 points against West Ham has shifted the calculus significantly for the final two gameweeks.
Price: £10.0m
Ownership: 11.6%
GW36 points: 2
Season totals: 7 goals, 9 assists
Form rating: 3.5 (dipped significantly)
Expected points GW37: 5.0 vs Burnley (fixture difficulty: 1 - great on paper)
Burnley looks like an ideal fixture but recent blank rate is a real concern for a £10m asset
The fixture against Burnley (rated 1 difficulty) should be appealing, but a 5.0 expected points figure for a £10m premium feels underwhelming. With only one gameweek after GW37, that £10m could be better deployed elsewhere.
Verdict: Hold if you already own him, but don't prioritise buying now.
2. Viktor Gyökeres (Arsenal) - £9.0m | 16.0% ownership
Despite 120,000 transfers in this week showing manager confidence, Gyökeres blanked again in GW36 with just 2 points from 90 minutes against West Ham - despite his side winning. The blank rate is rising at the worst possible time.
Price: £9.0m
Ownership: 16.0%
GW36 points: 2 (played full 90 mins, no goal)
Season totals: 14 goals
Expected points GW37: 6.5 vs Burnley
120,000 transfers in this week - but is confidence misplaced?
With two gameweeks left, blank risk at £9m is a genuine concern
Verdict: Hold if you're captaining him, but consider selling if you need funds for stronger options.
3. Bernd Leno (Fulham) - £4.9m | 2.2% ownership
Leno has been a solid season-long option but his value is deteriorating fast. He conceded against Bournemouth in GW36 for just 3 points, and his price has already dropped by £0.1m.
Price: £4.9m (already dropped £0.1m)
Ownership: 2.2%
GW36 points: 3 (conceded)
Season totals: 94 saves, 8 clean sheets
GW37 fixture: Wolves at home - Fulham have conceded 50 goals this season
Defensive record is too poor to trust at this price point
50 goals conceded as a team this season is an alarming stat. With Kadıoğlu and other budget defensive options available, Leno is no longer the value pick he once appeared to be. Keep an eye on the latest price changes before Friday's deadline to make sure you don't miss further drops.
Verdict: Sell and upgrade to a better value option.
🎯 GW37 Differentials - Quickfire
Looking to make bold moves in the final stretch? These three low-ownership picks could be the difference between winning and losing your mini-leagues. Browse more differentials on our tool to find the full picture.
Calvin Justin (Leeds) - £4.0m | 2.1% ownership
Form rating: 6.2
5 clean sheets this season
GW37: Leeds host Brighton (fixture difficulty: 3v3)
Expected points GW37: 5.7
At £4.0m, he's an elite budget rotation cover option with genuine clean sheet potential
Abdukodir Khusanov (Man City) - £5.4m | 0.7% ownership
GW36: Played 90 minutes, kept a clean sheet vs Palace - 6 points
6 clean sheets this season, 12 goals conceded
Expected points GW37: 5.3 vs Bournemouth (away)
Tough fixture on paper, but City's defensive structure remains solid
Massive differential at just 0.7% ownership - if City keep a clean sheet, this pays off handsomely
Mikkel Damsgaard (Brentford) - £5.6m | 0.8% ownership
Season totals: 4 goals, 4 assists
Form rating: 5.5
GW37: Brentford host Crystal Palace (fixture difficulty: 3v3)
Expected points GW37: 5.5
Sneaky midfield differential with genuine attacking returns all season
🏆 GW37 Captaincy Pick: Jérémy Doku (Man City)
Despite all the rotation caveats, Doku is the highest ceiling captaincy option available for GW37. Here's why:
Expected points: 7.5 vs Bournemouth (away) - the highest of any player this week
12 points in his last appearance (GW36) - goal, clean sheet, 3 bonus points
8 goal involvements this season (5 goals, 8 assists)
If he starts, the potential return is enormous
Key caveat: If City rotate again - as they did in GW36 - you're looking at a blank
He's the highest ceiling option available. If he starts, the upside is massive - he's your GW37 captain.
📋 GW37 Key Takeaways
