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.

    I’m 8pts behind in ml. I think my rival will cap Salah or Bruno. Should I cap Kane? Own both Bruno and Salah also.

    Morning all! Any clear rationale for captain?

    Salah - form, golden boot, most to play for, away

    Kane - golden boot, likely last home game, fans back, villa on the beach

    Bruno - home, plum fixture, not the best form.

    Currently on Mo…but seems like a coin toss.

    All could easily score the same?

    Gareth Bale surely the go-to transfer & captain for chasers this GW? Owned by less than one in twenty managers, currently only 0.66% in the captains poll, playing for a team who are preceded only by Manchester City in the home league and up against a team who only better Fulham for PPG since the beginning of March. His price point might make a direct transfer awkward for a lot of people but given his home returns, a 4 point hit might prove to be a shrewd investment.

        Raphina keeps thing's ticking over nicely but he's only had one double digit return this season. Bale's had three despite having played only a fraction of Raphina's minutes. He's much more explosive so definitely Bale.

          Cheers. probably for the fact that there are many goal scorers in that Leeds team. So the points are spread across all of them. isn't the same with Spurs with Kane Son and Bale the only option.

    What's your teams value ?

    I've only made one transfer (Raphinha to Lingard in GW31) more than 24 hours before the GW deadline all season. It's obviously effected my team's TV which is currently only 104.6m, I've seen plenty of teams similar to mine with TAA instead of Phillips in them so I assume that I'm somewhere in the region of 3 to 3.5m behind many of you as a result of waiting for the pressers.
