As the Fantasy Premier League season moves towards its final stages, many managers are now looking for differential picks to help them gain rank and catch rivals in mini leagues. In FPL, a differential is a low owned player who can still deliver big points and give your team an advantage over others.
With only one gameweek left after this round, Gameweek 37 becomes a big opportunity for managers who are willing to take smart risks. Players in good form, with good fixtures and important roles in their
teams, can make a real difference at this stage of the season.
Every player in this week’s list is currently under 10% owned, making them ideal options for managers looking to attack the run in and climb rank. With that in mind, here are a few under the radar options that could bring strong returns in Gameweek 37 and help managers get ahead.
Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall (€5.2m, Everton)
Ownership: 6.7%
Fixture: Sunderland (H)
Dewsbury-Hall is another low-owned option who could matter in Gameweek 37, especially with Everton still pushing for European qualification. He has become an important part of their midfield and offers points in different ways, which makes him a useful differential at this stage.
He has played 29 games this season, scoring 8 goals and adding 7 assists. Only Beto has scored more league goals for Everton, while he is also one of their main creative players with 9 big chances created and 6.07 expected assists. He also offers goal threat with 37 shots, including 15 on target and most coming from inside the box.
Beyond attacking returns, he also contributes across the pitch. He has picked up 18 bonus points, the highest in the Everton squad, and has added points through defensive work as well. With Sunderland at home next and Everton still fighting for something, he looks like a strong differential option for the final run-in.
Riccardo Calafiori (€5.6m, Arsenal)
Ownership: 5.9%
Fixtures: Burnley (H)
Calafiori is a risky but interesting defensive differential for Gameweek 37 as he is currently flagged. If he is fit and starts, he still offers strong upside from both defence and attack.
He showed his attacking threat in his last game even in limited minutes, with 3 shots, 1 big chance and 0.33 xG in just 45 minutes. Over the season, he has 1 goal and 2 assists in 24 games, but his underlying numbers suggest more potential with 32 shots and 3.26 xG.
Arsenal also have good fixtures with Burnley at home and Crystal Palace away, which adds clean sheet potential. If he starts, he could be a strong low-owned option, but his flagged status makes him one to monitor closely.
Carlos Casemiro (€5.9m, Manchester United)
Ownership: 5.4%
Fixture: Nottingham Forest (H)
Casemiro is a low owned differential for Gameweek 37 and could be useful for managers looking for a different midfield option at this stage of the season. He has been more involved in attack this season and has offered strong returns compared to previous years.
He has scored 9 goals and provided 4 assists in 33 matches, which is a clear improvement on his past seasons. Only Benjamin Sesko has scored more league goals for Manchester United this season, showing how important Casemiro has become in the final third. He has also collected 20 bonus points, second only to Bruno Fernandes in the squad.
There were some doubts after he missed the last game, but he is expected to be fit for the next match. With Nottingham Forest at home up next, he has a strong chance to return again, and his low ownership makes him an interesting option for managers looking to take a risk in Gameweek 37.
William Osula (€5.4, Newcastle United)
Ownership: 1.9%
Fixture: West Ham (H)
Osula has moved from a fringe player to a surprise option in recent gameweeks as he has started getting more minutes for Newcastle. That increase in game time has also come with better involvement in attack.
His numbers over the last few weeks show his impact in the final third. He has been getting into good positions, ranking highly for big chances among forwards and also spending more time in the opposition box. This shows he is becoming more important in Newcastle’s attack.
That makes him an interesting differential for this week, especially against a West Ham side that has struggled to defend well and is conceding a lot of chances. If Newcastle score, there is a good chance Osula is involved and he could also benefit from bonus points if he continues his attacking output.
Leandro Trossard (€6.5m, Arsenal)
Ownership: 0.9%
Fixture: Burnley (H)
Trossard is another strong differential for Gameweek 37, especially with Arsenal facing a Burnley side that has already been relegated and has the weakest defence in the league. This gives Arsenal attackers a good chance to return.
He has also been playing regularly, including full matches in recent games, and he has shown he can still deliver goals and assists when given minutes. This makes him a safer attacking option compared to some other forwards.
With Burnley expected to sit deep but also struggle to contain pressure, Trossard should find space in and around the box. That makes him a low-owned option with good potential for returns this week.
With so many low-owned options available heading into Gameweek 37, which of these differentials do you think can actually deliver when it matters most? I’d love to hear your thoughts.
