Our Gameweek 37 differentials column puts the spotlight on three low-owned players.

This time, we’ve selected assets from Everton, Brentford and Newcastle United, who we think have the potential to make an impact.

All three of these players have an ownership of 5% or lower.

BETO

  • FPL ownership: 3.2%
  • Price: £5.0m
  • GW37-38 fixtures: SUN | tot

A favourable home fixture against Sunderland has seen us plump for Everton forward Beto (£5.0m) as our headline differential.

Crucially, the Toffees can still finish as high as sixth, and need to win in order to maintain their hopes of European qualification.

Beto has found the net six times in his last eight matches, the most of any forward from Gameweek 28 onwards.

In that time, he has received eight Opta ‘big chances’, and averaged a shot every 31.9 minutes:

Beto’s appeal is further boosted by the fact that Sunderland are third-bottom for StatsBomb expected goals conceded (xGC) in away matches across 2025/26.

The forward could get some joy from crosses into the box, too.

That’s because Regis Le Bris’ men are 18th for headed chances conceded in the last six matches.

While many Fantasy managers are looking to Everton teammate Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall (£5.3m) this week, the fifth-most transferred-in player, Beto is going under the radar and could be worth a gamble.


KEANE LEWIS-POTTER

  • FPL ownership: 1.6%
  • Price: £4.8m
  • GW37-38 fixtures: CRY | liv

Brentford play host to Crystal Palace in Gameweek 37, so Keane Lewis-Potter (£4.8m) could be worth a punt.

The 25-year-old has impressed for Keith Andrews’ side recently, getting forward at every opportunity from left-back.

Indeed, since returning to the Brentford starting XI in Gameweek 30, he’s supplied two assists in seven matches.

In that time, he ranks second among defenders for expected goal involvement (xGI), having received 14 passes in the opposition penalty box.

Clean sheets are the bread and butter for Fantasy defenders, however, and Brentford have four of those since the start of March, the second-most of any team behind Arsenal.

The goalscoring form of Palace is far from prolific, too, having failed to find the net in each of their last two away matches, with Europe very much the focus for the remainder of the campaign.

Like Everton and a few other clubs, Brentford are locked in a battle for sixth, which may even be enough for UEFA Champions League qualification.

Lewis-Potter, who comes with obvious attacking upside, could subsequently prove a canny acquisition.


HARVEY BARNES

  • FPL ownership: 1.1%
  • Price: £6.1m
  • GW37-38 fixtures: WHU | ful

Following an impressive substitute appearance at the City Ground last week, Harvey Barnes (£6.1m) presents an intriguing differential option.

The winger scored in the 74th minute and has now netted in consecutive Gameweeks, bringing his total for the season to 16 goals across all competitions

His underlying numbers further illustrate his impact.

Barnes is averaging a shot every 35.9 minutes in 2025/26, the fastest rate of any Newcastle player.

On home turf, it’s even better (27.8 minutes per shot).

With Anthony Gordon (£7.3m) seemingly out of the picture, Barnes looks like he’s in the frame to start in Gameweek 37.

Speaking last week, Eddie Howe said:

“He is such a good player and he has goals in him. He has done well for us historically, off the bench. He has done well when he’s started too and he’s an outstanding player. He took his goal well and that gives Harvey a great chance to start the next game.” – Eddie Howe on Harvey Barnes

Barnes’ match-up with West Ham United on Sunday looks favourable.

Instead of merely relying on a draw, the Hammers will likely try to come out and beat Newcastle, so Barnes, who has an ownership of just 1.1%, could have a field day if the match becomes more dynamic.

A favourable fixture follows, too, with a trip to Fulham on the final day.

It all bodes well for Barnes, whose pace and goal threat could cause plenty of problems for both opponents.

There’s an obvious risk involved with Newcastle stocked with wide options, but Barnes could hold the upper hand given his recent output.

At least we know that when Barnes gets on the pitch, he’s more than capable of finding the net, as shown in Gameweeks 35 and 36.

    Start:
    Darlow BHA
    Martinez LIV
    Or Raya BUR -4
    Only got gab and Saka.
    Already doing KDH to sarr for free.
    Or would you prioritise bringing in Raya?

    1. R Whites
      • 10 Years

      Darlow

  2. ball c
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 months, 7 days ago

    Which one to transfer in:

    A) Porro
    B) Tarkowski
    C) Keane

    Will be for -4 as chasing and need a big haul.

    • 13 Years
    3 months, 7 days ago

    Play

    Verbruggen LEE(A)
    or
    Darlow BHA(H)

    In defence I am playing Van Hecke LEE(A)

    1. Orion
      • 15 Years
      3 months, 7 days ago

      I’m going with double Brighton as they have something to play for…

  4. Orion
    • 15 Years
    3 months, 7 days ago

    I need a help here guys… As I am leading my ML by 15 points, what should I do?

    A) Tavernier to KDH for a hit
    B) DCL to Beto for a hit
    C) play one of DCL or Tavernier

    Cheers

    1. Van der Faart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 months, 7 days ago

      C, 15 is tight

      1. Orion
        • 15 Years
        3 months, 7 days ago

        Just think that second placed is going to get KDH… Not sure what to do and if C, who to play?

        1. Van der Faart
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          3 months, 7 days ago

          Probably Tav

    2. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      3 months, 7 days ago

      C otherwise you’ve given him 4 points

  5. Jam0sh
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 months, 7 days ago

    Hello guys. Would you play Hill (MCI) / Richards (bre) or take a hit for Tarkowski/ Lewis-Potter?

    1. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 11 Years
      3 months, 7 days ago

      Play Hill, he should get on DefCon. Plus Bournemouth are quite decent in defence too

      1. Jam0sh
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 months, 7 days ago

        Cheers

  6. SAINTS
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    3 months, 7 days ago

    I was going to save a transfer but Struijk to Tarkowski seems like a good idea.

    Yay

    or

    Nay

  7. WibblesTeam
    • 9 Years
    3 months, 7 days ago

    Eze to Trossard worth a -4?

  8. Ray85
    • 8 Years
    3 months, 7 days ago

    Start DCL or Pedro?

  9. Van der Faart
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 months, 7 days ago

    Captain

    A) Saka
    B) Bruno
    C) Gyok

    Currently on Saka

    1. Orion
      • 15 Years
      3 months, 7 days ago

      Me too… on Saka currently

      1. AzzaroMax99
        • 9 Years
        3 months, 7 days ago

        Why? Think that he will play more mins than Gyok or because of pens?

        1. Orion
          • 15 Years
          3 months, 7 days ago

          I don’t know, just some gut feeling… Think that Gyok is on pens??

    2. Jigger & Pony
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 months, 7 days ago

      Saka

  10. FPL_RubberDucky
    • 2 Years
    3 months, 7 days ago

    Sorry
    Have not been online for months on FFS.

    All the best for the final two weeks and enjoy the World Cup.

    As for GW37 i have no idea what to do!

    1. Stevie B
      • 15 Years
      3 months, 7 days ago

      Arsenal defence players (Raya, Gabriel, Saliba) are not bad for the last two game weeks.

      All the best and good luck for you too.

      A World Cup win after 1966 would be fantastic.

  11. Jullepuu
    • 7 Years
    3 months, 7 days ago

    A) Gross to KDH
    B) Struijk to Keane (Keane would move Van Hecke to the bench)

    1. Ha.
      • 11 Years
      3 months, 7 days ago

      B

    2. Stevie B
      • 15 Years
      3 months, 7 days ago

      Struijk is a real doubt, so B. Also the Leeds defence is very shattered and Groß can use this.

  12. Stevie B
    • 15 Years
    3 months, 7 days ago

    Is this bench boost team good to go?

    Raya, Henderson
    Gabriel (C), Saliba, O`Reilly, Tarkowski, Lacroix
    Bruno Fernandes, Casimero, Groß, Cherki, Sarr
    Haaland, Thiago, Welbeck

    Thank you and good luck!

    1. Jullepuu
      • 7 Years
      3 months, 7 days ago

      Yeha gtg, you must hope palace play well though!

  13. AzzaroMax99
    • 9 Years
    3 months, 7 days ago

    Have TC chip left.
    On which player would you use it in this gw?

    1. Stevie B
      • 15 Years
      3 months, 7 days ago

      I would go safe with Gabriel. A home game against Burnley is not bad.

  14. TheBiffas
    • 5 Years
    3 months, 7 days ago

    Can only bring in one of Thiago and Gyokeres. Who is more important?

    1. Ha.
      • 11 Years
      3 months, 7 days ago

      Gyokeres

  15. Mufc202020
    • 7 Years
    3 months, 7 days ago

    Triple captain:

    A) Bruno GW37
    B) Bowen GW38

    1. Ha.
      • 11 Years
      3 months, 7 days ago

      A

    2. fpl_tp95
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 months, 7 days ago

      No Arsenal players to triple captain this week?

  16. Ha.
    • 11 Years
    3 months, 7 days ago

    My H2H doesn't have Bruno, who was going to be my captain but it almost feels excessive now

    1. Bruno (c)
    2. Haaland (c) to cover them (pretty confident that I can make up points elsewhere)

    1. fpl_tp95
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 months, 7 days ago

      Do you not have any Arsenal attackers?

      1. Ha.
        • 11 Years
        3 months, 7 days ago

        I do, but I am not overly optimistic that they score many goals

        1. fpl_tp95
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          3 months, 7 days ago

          Fair, I'd captain them over Haaland and Bruno personally

          1. Ha.
            • 11 Years
            3 months, 7 days ago

            Even if Arsenal do score a few, it's always quite spread out

            Bruno can get 10 points off one assist and/or a lucky pen

      2. FPL_RubberDucky
        • 2 Years
        3 months, 7 days ago

        Would you captain Gabriel, Raya or Rice ahead of Bruno?

        1. Ha.
          • 11 Years
          3 months, 7 days ago

          I wouldn't / am not

  17. fpl_tp95
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 months, 7 days ago

    Start DCL or Gross?

    1. Ha.
      • 11 Years
      3 months, 7 days ago

      Gross

  18. aapoman
    • 12 Years
    3 months, 7 days ago

    6 points behind ML leader who doesn't have Cherki. I can't trust his minutes anymore so move him to Szoboslai or Bruno G?

  19. Bobby_Baggio
    • 15 Years
    3 months, 7 days ago

    Which to (C) please? First to 5 wins.

    A) Saka
    B) Gyok
    C) Haaland

    1. Udogie-style
      • 2 Years
      3 months, 7 days ago

      B as I think he plays longer

      1. Bobby_Baggio
        • 15 Years
        3 months, 7 days ago

        You confident he plays instead of ze German?

    2. Ha.

      Not seen any news, moved him to KDH anyway

  23. marpy016
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    3 months, 7 days ago

    Given Leeds injury woes who should I start?

    A) DCL
    B) Wellbeck (have Van Hecke & Gross)

    1. Udogie-style
      • 2 Years
      3 months, 7 days ago

      Welbs

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      100% would choose Welbeck if in your position

  24. R Whites
    • 10 Years
    3 months, 7 days ago

    A - Sen/Hill to Saliba (bench Tav)
    B - Okafor to KDH or another (bench Tav)
    C - anything else!

    Darlow (verb)
    Gabriel, Van Hecke, O'Reily (sen, hill)
    Saka, Cherki, Tav (Okafor)
    JP, Haaland, Welb

    1. Ha.

      B

      And you're a player short

      Bruno G?

  26. XX SMICER XX

    Is it madness to lose Bruno for Saka?
    Would you do it for -4?

    1. Ha.

      Yes
      No

    2. Hazz

      Probably wouldn't do that. Would punt on a cheaper Arsenal midfielder and keep Bruno.

      1. XX SMICER XX
        • 8 Years
        3 months, 7 days ago

        Already have Eze.
        Saka sorts out my captaincy dilemma.
