Our ‘Buy, Keep or Sell’ article returns as we consider various transfer dilemmas for Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers in Gameweek 37.

These are the players with the most transfers in/out ahead of Friday’s deadline:

PlayerTransfers in (round)PlayerTransfers out (round)
Doku82,657Gibbs-White74,440
Gyokeres52,190Semenyo54,293
Saka40,344Rogers50,550
Saliba28,921Okafor35,961

Dewsbury-Hall24,671Cherki26,020

Wilson22,898Timber22,113
Gabriel22,080J Pedro21,310
Tarkowski21,985Andersen18,224

Whether some of these moves are a good idea remains open to debate – and that’s exactly what we’ll be weighing up in this article.

We’ll try to avoid repetition with previous weeks. For example, Viktor Gyokeres (£9.0m) was a ‘buy’ and Ollie Watkins (£8.7m) a ‘keep’ in our last piece, so we’ll not cover them again.

KIERNAN DEWSBURY-HALL

FPL Gameweek 15: Saturday’s goals, assists, bonus + ‘DefCon’ points 11

Kieran Dewsbury-Hall (£5.2m) has produced four attacking returns and 30 points in the last five Gameweeks.

It could have been more, too, with the midfielder wasteful in front of goal at Selhurst Park on Sunday.

He did, however, supply the corner assist for James Tarkowski’s (£5.7m) opener, and over the 2025/26 season, he has averaged a superb 5.2 points per start.

As shown in our Members Area, Dewsbury-Hall’s goal threat and creativity stands out, and you get the feeling that he will play a crucial role for Everton in Gameweeks 37 and 38.

David Moyes’ men realistically need to win both matches to have any chance of European football next season.

Up first is a home encounter with Sunderland, who are winless in their last four matches, a period in which they are ranked just outside the bottom three for expected goals conceded (xGC).

Owned by just 6.6% of squads, Dewsbury-Hall is subsequently a solid differential pick for the remainder of the campaign.

VERDICT: BUY

HARRY WILSON

FPL notes: 10-goal Wilson, Raul benched + Flemming scores again

Harry Wilson (£5.9m) has had a superb season at Fulham.

The Welshman has netted 10 goals and supplied eight assists in 32 starts and a couple of substitute appearances.

At first glance, a trip to Molineux on Sunday adds further appeal, yet Wilson’s drop-off in form over the last few weeks is far from ideal.

Indeed, his last four player ratings from fan site Fulhamish have been four, four, six and five out of 10.

Out of contract this summer, he could be a sell for a couple of reasons.

Firstly, Wilson has been substituted off just after the hour mark in successive Gameweeks.

The disparity between his home/away goal threat is another concern:

  • Goals p90: 0.54 (home) v 0.14 (away)
  • Shots p90: 3.1 (home) v 1.92 (away)
  • xG p90: 0.23 (home) v 0.15 (away)

There are certainly better mid-price midfielders to target this week, then, like Dewsbury-Hall.

For current owners, it’s a much trickier situation. An away fixture at relegated Wolverhampton Wanderers, given their set-piece issues, carries appeal, but you do run the risk of a one-pointer.

As a result, if you have free transfers banked, you should probably consider moving Wilson on.

VERDICT: DON’T BUY + POTENTIAL SELL

JOAO PEDRO

Best £7.5m+ forwards for FPL 2025/26

Owned by 38.4% of squads, Joao Pedro (£7.5m) is the second-most popular forward in FPL.

It’s no surprise: the Brazilian has racked up 15 goals and nine assists in 34 Premier League appearances this season, averaging 5.4 points per start.

However, when you factor in the FA Cup final on Saturday, which precedes the Gameweek 37 encounter with a desperate Tottenham Hotspur side, it could be time to sell Pedro, perhaps for Brentford’s Igor Thiago (£7.3m).

  • Sat 16 May: Man City (n) – FA Cup final
  • Tue 19 May: Tottenham Hotspur (h) – Gameweek 37
  • Sun 24 May: Sunderland (a) – Gameweek 38

Chelsea’s current form, or lack of, should also be considered.

The Blues are now winless in seven Premier League games, with a lack of creativity throughout the team.

Indeed, over the last six matches, Calum McFarlane’s side rank 20th for big chances (six) and 16th for expected goals (xG).

VERDICT: SELL

JEREMY DOKU

FPL notes: 232

After his heroics in recent weeks, Jeremy Doku (£6.5m) is at the forefront of many Fantasy managers’ minds.

The winger, who netted the opener in Saturday’s 3-0 win over Brentford, has now produced five attacking returns in as many matches, amassing 42 points.

He also created a match-high six chances in Manchester City’s first match of Gameweek 36, with the vast majority of his team’s attacking play funnelled down his flank.  

City still have Palace to play on Wednesday, which is the second match of their Double Gameweek 36, before Saturday’s FA Cup final against Chelsea.

Then, they will travel to Bournemouth on Tuesday.

Given Doku’s form, plus the fact that he is getting plenty of minutes, he is certainly one of the most explosive differentials in FPL right now.

However, due to the timing of this encounter, might it be better to wait until Gameweek 38 to transfer in Doku?

After all, a trip to Bournemouth is far from straightforward, with the Cherries ranked second for expected goals conceded (xGC) on home turf this season, only behind Arsenal.

You could then consider Doku in Gameweek 38, provided City still find themselves in the title race, against an Aston Villa side who will have participated in a European final just a few days prior.

VERDICT: KEEP, POTENTIAL BUY IN GAMEWEEK 38

CRYSTAL PALACE + ASTON VILLA PLAYERS

FPL notes: Glasner on rotation, Sarr threat + why Munoz got bonus 2

Watkins may well have been a ‘keep’ for Burnley (and he duly scored), while the lure of a Double Gameweek explained the attraction of Palace players in Gameweek 36.

But it’s probably time to bid farewell to players from these two teams.

Most obviously, they have the distraction of European finals. Villa’s is in between Gameweeks 37 and 38, while Palace’s is just over 72 hours after the final day.

Rotation, especially for a now-safe Palace, is a very real concern. Villa still need points in their quest to secure a Champions League place, so we’ll probably see a strong side sent out in Gameweek 37. A Friday-Wednesday turnaround helps facilitate this.

But aside from rotation risk, where’s the real upside? Both clubs have the toughest test around, ie a title challenger, on the final day. Palace also have to visit a Brentford side who have lost just thrice on home soil this season. Liverpool are a pale shadow of their former selves, so it’s feasible that Villa can see off Arne Slot’s troops this Friday – but the Reds themselves need points to secure Champions League football.

You might be able to eke one more week out of Watkins, given Liverpool’s struggles, but really, there are much better two-week punts than Palace/Villa players elsewhere in the division.

VERDICT: SELL

    DCL,jolly good spot kick

  2. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    DCL with his usual low bonus (18bp despite scoring) but actually managed a bonus this time!
    Meanwhile Hinshelwood and Van Hecke got 31bp at the weekend and zero bonus

  3. Sir Michael Taker
    • 11 Years

    Not sure about the Leeds pen, seems like Ampadu was very clever shall we say. I think going forwards defenders need to just not go for anything about waist height with their feet if in their own box. Adopt the Jon Terry diving header anything above shin height approach

    1. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Have you seen the picture of Ampadu after the game? Very clever facial scar shall we say.

    I'm not going to sell Wilson. Can't sell him before Wolves.

    1. Sir Michael Taker
      • 11 Years
      1 month, 16 days ago

      Minutes have got a bit dodgy and the team are struggling for goals. Not saying he'll be the fall guy necessarily but he could feasibly end up benched

    2. Qaiss
      • 10 Years

      Need to see Silva’s comments about if they still have something to play for, etc. A 61 minute sub in a must win game implies that he’s playing with injury or not an important player anymore because he’s leaving Fulham in a few weeks

      1. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        1 month, 16 days ago

        Yeah. Hopefully Silva gets asked about Wilson again in his press conference.

        2. Caravagio

          Will you keep him now though. Dilemma!

          1. The Knights Template
            • 12 Years

            Yes, other priorities!

    2. Qaiss
      • 10 Years

      Sad. Selling Thiago for him in GW20 derailed my season

    3. Moon Dog

      Exasperated. I benched him for Mitoma (WOL), who got a YC and an early injury for 0pts. Why do I bother 😆

    1. Qaiss

      If Tottenham couldn’t beat Leeds who have nothing to play for, why will they beat Everton?

      West Ham just need to beat Newcastle

    1. NZREDS

      Gab and Raya is more than sufficient- most will only have one in defense with the saka / Gyokeres options (like me)

  9. Koflok
    • 13 Years
    1 month, 16 days ago

    Which one is a better upgrade?
    A) Van Hecke > Saliba
    B) JP > Thiago (3-4-3)
    C) JP > Gyokeres (3-4-3)
    D) Tavernier > KDH / Szoboszlai (3-5-2)

    First 2 would cover my closest ML rival

    1. DeSelby

    2. DEO0420
      • 1 Year

      1. Koflok

        If I dont transfer Tav, I'll play JP
