Fantasy Premier League: Top 5 differential picks for Double Gameweek 37

Gameweek 32 is here!
Double Gameweek 37 is here!

All eyes turn to week 37 which provides fantasy managers with one last chance to boost their rankings and climb up the ladder.

The penultimate week is extra-special because 10 teams play twice in the space of 6 days, making it imperative to choose as many players as possible from these teams.

We have some really tasty fixtures coming up and there is every chance that this week will make or break many managers' fantasy season.

Managers who have their Bench Boost chip intact can try and extract maximum points this week as they have the liberty to field 15 players who might play twice.

Thus, it is important to choose lesser-owned players who have the chance to give maximum returns this week as they can help managers climb up the rankings, especially in mini-leagues.

On that note, we look at 5 possible differential options who are likely to score big this week:


#5 Wilfried Zaha (Crystal Palace)

Watford v Crystal Palace - Premier League
Zaha is a man in form

Despite having only one fixture this week, the Crystal Palace winger makes the cut as he has been a pivotal figure in their incredible turnaround this season. He is also in fine form heading into the game at Stoke.

He has amassed a monstrous 42 points in his last 5 games and is certainly one to watch out for this week as Palace hope to end the season on a high.

Christian Benteke's struggles in front of goal led Roy Hodgson to play Zaha as a forward and the decision has paid dividends. Palace will be high on confidence heading into the fixture having scored 5 times last week while Stoke have kept just 2 clean sheets in their last 11 matches.

Zaha is owned by only 7.9% of the managers at the moment and he has the potential to score big this week.

#4 Dusan Tadic (Southampton)

Southampton v AFC Bournemouth - Premier League
Can Tadic lead Southampton to survival?

It's quite astonishing that Southampton find themselves in a battle for survival this season given the quality of players they have at their disposal. Thus, it is crucial that they get maximum points in their remaining games, starting with Everton and Swansea in this gameweek.

One player who has been a shadow of himself all season has been Dusan Tadic. But, luckily for The Saints, he seems to be hitting top form as we head into the final stretch.

Tadic scored twice last week against Bournemouth and has racked up 27 points in his last 3 games. The onus will be on him to provide the goods and steer Southampton to safety.

Furthermore, he is on penalty duty as well for Southampton which is an added advantage for the Serbian, who is owned by just 2.5% of the managers.

#3 Alexandre Lacazette (Arsenal)

Arsenal FC v Atletico Madrid - UEFA Europa League Semi Final Leg One
Incredible form!

Both Arsenal and Lacazette have had their fair share of troubles this season. Arsenal have underachieved in the league and found themselves outside the top-four for the vast majority of the campaign.

Lacazette, despite netting a decent 13 goals, has not been able to provide consistent returns whilst also dealing with his share of injuries.

But, regardless of those troubles, the Frenchman has been in great form of late and Arsenal face Burnley and Leicester this week.

He has scored 27 points in his last 4 games and we have seen Wenger play him up front, with Aubameyang occupying the flanks recently which adds to his threat.

Both Burnley and Leicester have struggled to keep clean sheets of late and we can expect Arsenal to end the season on a high and Lacazette to reward the 6.9% of the managers who own him.

#2 Anthony Martial (Manchester United)

Newcastle United v Manchester United - Premier League
Martial is set to start!

As a result of a foot injury, Romelu Lukaku is expected to miss United's upcoming fixtures against Brighton and West Ham.

While it may be bad news for the Belgian, it may prove to be a blessing in disguise for Anthony Martial who has had to play second-fiddle to Alexis Sanchez following his arrival in January.

The Frenchman is expected to start up front for United and can wreak havoc when in form. Martial has scored 123 points this season as a result of the 9 goals and 6 assists he has racked up and he will be determined to make every chance count if he's given the nod.

Neither Brighton nor West Ham are solid defensively and considering the form United are in, we may be in for a huge return from Martial who is owned only by a paltry 2.4% of the managers right now.

#1 Dele Alli (Tottenham Hotspur)

Tottenham Hotspur v Watford - Premier League
Time to make Alli your ally?

The top differential pick is none other than Dele Alli. Despite the likes of Harry Kane and Heung-min Son proving to be popular picks, Alli has been the man in form for Spurs recently, and they face West Brom and Newcastle in gameweek 37.

Kane has struggled to reach the heights he is capable of following his return from injury and Son is often rotated.

The 22-year-old has scored 42 points in his last 5 outings, and taking into consideration the fact that Spurs have perhaps the easiest fixtures of the lot, it is perhaps sensible to transfer the Englishman in.

At the moment, he is owned by 13.6% of the managers, a figure that is likely to increase as we approach the deadline.
