In this article, we provide tips for the Gameweek 37 FPL Challenge. That means exploring the top picks and best captaincy options, alongside a team reveal.

Such information and advice can be extremely helpful, with the intention of giving managers an edge in their quest to win a Gameweek 37 prize.

What is the Gameweek 37 FPL Challenge?

This week has the title ‘Are you Single?’, where players from the 14 non-doubling teams receive double points.

Fixtures

This stipulation levels out the Double Gameweek situation, as now every team essentially plays twice. However, those neglected players with a good single fixture – from Everton and West Ham, for example – suddenly overtake the hugely popular assets from Chelsea, Newcastle and Man City, who play twice but with mixed difficulty.

Top Picks

It thrusts defender Jarrad Branthwaite (£4.5m) and Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£5.8m) into consideration, as it’s like they host Sheffield United twice. The centre-back has returned in five of the last six outings, whilst the cheap forward ended an 18-game goalless streak by netting in four of his latest five.

Everton have four successive home clean sheets, about to face an already-down side with the fewest shots (346) but most attempts conceded (645). One that’s also allowed exactly 100 goals.

As for West Ham, star midfielder Jarrod Bowen (£7.6m) has the chance to relegate Luton.

Meanwhile, the doubling of points means it’s worth investing in Arsenal pair Gabriel (£5.4m) and Bukayo Saka (£9.0m). Although decades of Premier League history have led us to believe this will be a tough trip to Man United, their hosts are in a bad place defensively. They’ve got the fifth-highest expected goals conceded (xGC) tally, with 64.48.

Saka can ruthlessly expose that, with Gabriel aiming to secure the Gunners’ 10th clean sheet from 14.

Captaincy

Furthermore, the armband isn’t solely focused on Erling Haaland (£14.2m), Cole Palmer (£6.2m) and Son Heung-min (£9.9m) anymore.

Bowen and Saka are strong options, knowing they have talismanic status and will face poor backlines.

But Haaland’s four goals of last Saturday are still so fresh in the mind, that it’s only worth going against the Norwegian if you desperately need some late punts to skyrocket up rankings and mini-leagues.

Challenge Team Reveal – @FPLMarcJobling

For managers who want a straightforward, set-and-forget team, my first reveal can help with that.

It has a triple-up of Chelsea and Man City, where Nicolas Jackson (£7.0m) and Phil Foden (£8.4m) are able to edge out the aforementioned Calvert-Lewin and Saka.

Djordje Petrovic (£4.6m) is on successive clean sheets and Alexander Isak (£8.4m) has netted in his last seven home matches. After that, the Swede gets a go at leaky Man United.

Speaking of which, despite Bruno Fernandes (£8.5m) and Diogo Dalot (£5.2m) being popular in the main game, it’s based purely on fixture quantity. The stipulation here allows us to look elsewhere.
