Best Midfielder: Bruno Fernandes vs Nottingham Forest (H) - 5.9 predicted points

Bruno Fernandes will be a popular captain pick heading into the weekend and a home game against Nottingham Forest, as he looks to break the record for the number of assists in a Premier League season. He’s just one away from levelling the current target of 20.

Nottingham Forest have little to play for now that they are safe, and while Manchester United have already secured Champions League football, Michael Carrick’s side need to impress for the interim manager’s position to be made permanent.

Fernandes has produced a goal involvement in every Old Trafford fixture under Carrick, including amassing five double-digit hauls.

It will also be Casemiro’s chance to say farewell to the fans, with this pair combining on multiple occasions this season.

Midfield Gem: Bukayo Saka vs Burnley (H) - 7.3 Predicted Points

Injuries for Bukayo Saka and a lack of consistent minutes have seen his ownership drop to differential territory this season, but he’s the third most transferred in player ahead of Gameweek 37 and Arsenal’s final home game of the season against relegated Burnley.

He has one goal and one assist from the last four gameweeks, with a double-digit haul from a 45-minute appearance in the 3-0 win against Fulham.

The Gunners will need a similar performance in this one to keep Manchester City at bay and improve their goal difference.

Best Forward: Erling Haaland vs Bournemouth (A) - 7.7 predicted points

Erling Haaland is once again the best captain pick for Gameweek 37, topping the AI rankings for the trip to Bournemouth.  He was rested in Manchester City’s last Premier League game, with his side contesting the FA Cup final on Saturday ahead of this one, but Pep Guardiola’s side cannot afford to take their foot off the gas again with Arsenal two points clear as things stand.

Haaland has scored in four successive gameweeks, leading the way for shots (18) and big chances (10) in this time. This recent run of form sees him move to 26 goals for the campaign.

He has the pedigree in this fixture, having scored a brace in the reverse fixture, netting 13 fantasy points in a 3-1 win. 

Bournemouth have their own ambitions, though, and are unbeaten since January.

Forward Gem: Beto vs Sunderland (H) - 5.7 Predicted Points

Everton’s home game against Sunderland on Sunday afternoon brings to a close their first season at the Hill Dickinson Stadium, with Sunderland the visitors. 3.1% owned striker Beto provides an intriguing differential option for fantasy forward lines.

He has scored five goals in his last five Premier League games, taking him to nine goals for the campaign. He has the underlying numbers to back up those returns, with 13 shots on goal and six big chances.

Sunderland are also without a clean sheet on the road in 2026.
