Who is the best FPL captain for Gameweek 37?

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.

    Cannot decide between these 2. Harrison seems to be more on form and sharing set pieces with Dallas- also up against KWP so may be room to get in behind him.

    Who would you go for? Leading ML by 2 points only. Person in second has no Leeds players. Person in third has Raphinha and is 7 points behind me

    A Raphinha or
    B Harrison

          Plus Siggy came off for Bernard (I think it was him) - whereas Lingard will play until his legs drop off.
          I wonder if Everton line up differently to try and inject some life into their team after the SHU debacle.

      do a mock wc for this week and next week - are they much different?
      can you get 15 players that cover both weeks?

      saving the WC for gw38 seems a waste of that chip for me but i'm sure there was a reason along the way

          in that case i'd WC this week.
          you're just as likely to get a wc wrong and right next gameweek with the weirdness - so try and do it now for 2 weeks and see if you can maximize one of them.

        Interesting. my thinking is the chances of Lei scoring are low - and of it being Nacho even lower.
        So lets say its 50/50 Lei score.
        And if they do it's 50/50 that Nacho does it.

        Would mean Rudiger has a 50% chance of a return, and Nacho a 25% chance.

        So in order to pick Nacho over Rudiger I'd have to think it highly likely Leicester score - and I just don't think the chances are that high.

      As a proper diff i like Willock.

      if you pick Harrison you're relying on Leeds doing well but not Raphinha - which is unlikely.

      Foden you might get 90 minutes from over 2 games.

      Willock has amazing fixtures, form, and will get 180 mins most likely.

    El Ghazi to Greenwood for free then another move -4. Not too worried re hit as I’m chasing. Need to free up 0.3m. Either way some kind of benching headache

    Could do Mendy to Meslier/Dubravka (or save Meslier to 38).
    Maybe Lingard to Wilock (bench) which would allow Ings to Aguero last game.

    If Ederson outscores Martinez over the next 2 games, surely that's worth a -4 to get him right?

      If Martinez just get 2 or 3 points per game, Ederson would need 2 cleansheets just to give you a 2 to 4 point gain. I personally wouldn't take the hit

        Yea when you put it like that it doesn't sound worth it. Thanks.

    Will Bamford start? Just seen the predicted lineup in the team news section and it looks juicy

      I think he will. Bielsa seems pretty loyal to his players. Klich's absence seems to improve Bamford's chances as Rodrigo can go into midfield.

    Leading my ML by 50 pts. Would you do the following moves for a -4???

    a. Sanchez > Dubravka

    b. Jota > Harrison/Raph?

    Or just play Martinez and do B?

    If B who would you pick?

    Use bench boost this week or wait until next week?

    Mendy - Martinez
    TAA - Digne - Dallas - Coufal - Coady
    Salah - Son - Greenwood - Lingard - Raphinia
    Kane - DCL - Wood

    Any more transfers this week (i.e. Coady) would cost -4.

      Bench boost looks better this week. Coady to Holding maybe?
