Who is the best FPL captain for Gameweek 37?

Share

Fantasy Premier League managers have a straight shoot-out between three of this season’s best assets for the Gameweek 37 captaincy.

Bruno Fernandes (£11.4m), Mohamed Salah (£12.8m) and Harry Kane (£11.8m) are all in the conversation although any Fantasy managers chasing their mini-league rivals might be looking at differentials too.

Mason Greenwood (£7.2m), as well as Spurs’ midfielders Gareth Bale (£9.2m) and Son Heung-min (£9.7m) are also on the radar in a week with plenty of choice.

As always, the Captain Sensible article is here to help you with this week’s armband decisions. As this includes extensive data from the Fantasy Football Scout Premium Members Area, only those with a valid subscription can access it in full.

CAPTAIN POLL

It comes as little surprise that the aforementioned trio ofFernandes, Salah and Kane dominate this week’s Captain Poll.

Ahead of facing Fulham in front of an Old Trafford crowd, Manchester United’s talismanic midfielder has the slight edge with 33.1% of total votes so far.

Meanwhile, Salah currently sits in second with a decent chance of overtaking Fernandes, with his current backing at 32.0%.

After scoring Spurs’ first goal against Wolves and rewarding his owners with eight points in Blank Gameweek 36, Kane has been voted as the best captain for the upcoming round of fixtures by just over 15.0% of our users.

The only remaining player to have gained more than 5.0% of total votes so far is Greenwood, as he is looking to continue his impressive goalscoring form.

          Yep 100% otherwise you'll need 2 goals from the replacement to pay off. What if Nacho get a tiny return ... an assist. That's game over.

      Agree with those saying GK transfer has a cap but I think that move in isolation gives you net positive points for the rest of the season so it is worth it in isolation, yes.

          No, if for free then make sense to get Antonio. Will Antonio score 2 for the hit to pay off? Maybe, but then the odd is getting slimmer. I get that if it includes better team for GW38, but Nacho (TOT) GW38 is playable.

      Debating between the big three but I'm leaning towards Kane at the moment.

      Golden Boot, potentially last home game for Spurs, still a fighting chance and Villa missing defenders and conceded a lot of chances vs Palace.

      The Jota injury increases the case for Salah for me though as Liverpool will go all out for this now and I fancy them to get it.

      Would just leave Martinez there for save points but given you have no United I would probably pick 4 out of those with Greenwood

    This Raph (around 20% EO) or Harisson (2% EO) pick gets me mad 😛

      Who is more nailed in your opinion? Last thing you'd want is a non-start at this stage 🙁

        True, both to start I think and recent stats are neck to neck. Not sure Raph has been 100%.

          Good to hear. I'm debating one of those two and maybe Greenwood (as you may have seen above) - feel like it's a 50/50
