The penultimate week of the 2025/2026 EPL Season has arrived, and for many managers, this is the final chance to make a definitive move up the global rankings.
Gameweek 37 is all about capitalizing on favorable single fixtures now that the chaos of Double Gameweeks has subsided.
With the title race still on a knife-edge and relegation battles reaching a fever pitch, your FPL Team for GW-37 needs to be perfectly balanced between reliable heavy hitters and aggressive punts.
If you are sitting on free
transfers, now is the time to spend them on players with high-ceiling home matchups to push your total past that elusive 100-point mark.
Reviewing a Strong GW-36 Foundation
My Wildcard squad from last week provided a respectable 67-point return, anchored by a solid defensive display. Utilizing a 3-5-2 formation allowed me to maximize the value of Gabriel, whose 11-point haul against West Ham proved why he is the most essential defender in the FPL Team for GW-37 of the 2025/2026 EPL Season.
While the midfield returns of 17 points were modest, the 24 points generated by Haaland and Welbeck kept my rank steady.
The Captaincy Gamble: Gabriel vs. The Field
For GW-37, I think sticking with my 3-5-2 formation is a wise tactical move, but handing the captain’s armband to Gabriel is the ultimate high-risk, high-reward play.
While Arsenal hosts a relegated Burnley side—a team that hasn’t kept a clean sheet on the road all season—most managers will likely captain Erling Haaland or Bukayo Saka.
Gabriel manages a clean sheet and a trademark header from a set-piece, he could be the differential that skyrockets my score.
Transfer Recommendations for a 100-Point Push
With two free transfers available, I am in a prime position to enhance my squad. To reach 100 points, and I am considering these two moves:
- Option 1: Bring in Viktor Gyökeres for Welbeck. Gyökeres is currently the most-bought player ahead of the Burnley fixture, having just netted 16 points against Fulham.
- Option 2: Upgrade Cherki or Szoboszlai to Bruno Guimarães. The Newcastle star has averaged 7.8 points per start at St James’ Park, and facing West Ham at home is an ideal scenario for a double-digit return.
Maximizing your transfers during the home stretch requires a blend of statistical logic and a bit of gut instinct.
By targeting the vulnerable Burnley defense and the prolific home form of Newcastle’s stars, you can turn a standard week into a season-defining triumph. Good luck with the final push!
Do you believe the clean-sheet potential of Gabriel against a relegated Burnley is high enough to justify captaining a defender over an in-form striker like Viktor Gyökeres?
