FPL managers should be preparing for the final week of this PL season, with Gameweek 37 kicking off less than 48 hours post the conclusion of Blank Gameweek 36. It was a rather underwhelming Gameweek for FPL managers, with an average of 38 points. The two most popular FPL captains, Mohamed Salah and Harry Kane, both returned a goal.

I removed Marcus Rashford instead of Harry Maguire and brought Riyad Mahrez in. However, 'Pep Roulette' meant that Mahrez was benched, and Jarrod Bowen came in anyway. I had a decent FPL Gameweek myself, scoring 57 points, thanks to captain Mo Salah and hauls from Kane and Alexander-Arnold.

Gameweek 37 will be played across two weekdays ahead of the all-important Gameweek 38 on Sunday. The return of home fans in some games could make a difference in improving the poor home record of many teams.

With teams like Chelsea, Everton, Tottenham Hotspur, Leicester City, and Liverpool in the race for European qualification, FPL managers should target players from these teams in the final two Gameweeks.

Whatever transfers they make, they should do so ahead of the Gameweek 37 deadline on Tuesday evening UK time.

Gameweek 37 Deadline: Tuesday, 18th May; 04:30 PM (BST) and 09:00 PM (Indian Standard Time).

Transfers

#1 Tyrick Mitchell for Harry Maguire

Mitchell(L) scored the winner for Palace against Aston Villa.

I'm making this transfer mostly to release as many funds as possible. I was planning to remove Maguire from my team in the last game, and he's certainly going out this time around.

Mitchell has also made the left-back spot his own in the Crystal Palace side and impressed in their 3-2 win over Aston Villa in Gameweek 36. He could be a solid option coming off the bench.


#2 Kai Havertz for Gylfi Sigurdsson

Kai Havertz.
Kai Havertz.

After a slow start to his PL career, Kai Havertz has thrived in a false nine position under Thomas Tuchel and has earned praise from all quarters. He was benched for the FA Cup Final and is now likely to start Chelsea's Gameweek 37 clash against Leicester.

Liverpool's win over West Brom meant that one of Chelsea and Leicester could miss out on a Champions League place. Tuchel should field his best starting XI in this game, and Havertz should feature in it. He has three goals and three assists in his last six starts and should exploit the weaknesses in a tired Leicester City backline.

His low ownership makes him a potent FPL differential at the end of this PL campaign.


Best FPL XI for Gameweek 37:

Chips activated: None.

Points Hits taken (if any): -4.

Captain/vice-captain: Mohamed Salah (or) Harry Kane (or) Dominic Calvert-Lewin/ Trent Alexander-Arnold.

Goalkeeper

Emiliano Martinez has been one of the best players in the Premier League this season.

Emiliano Martinez (AVL) (£5.4 million) | Opponent: TOT (A): While Martinez is out of the race for the Golden Glove, he still is one of the best players of the season. Aston Villa will look to play for their pride in these last two matches, and Martinez will look to round off his excellent campaign with some clean sheets and FPL points for his owners.


Defenders

Stuart Dallas has had an excellent FPL season.
Stuart Dallas has had an excellent FPL season.

Trent Alexander-Arnold (LIV) - £7.5 million | Opponent: BUR (A): Alexander-Arnold provided the assist for Alisson's incredible winner against West Brom, but he should've had a much bigger FPL haul from that match.

Alexander-Arnold has been giving it his all in the last few matches, and with his spot in the England squad on the line, expect him to produce another sensational performance in Gameweek 37.

Seamus Coleman (EVE) - £4.9 million | Opponent: WOL (H): Everton captain Seamus Coleman will hope the arrival of fans at Goodison Park will improve the side's poor home record. He'll look to help his side keep a clean sheet while also contributing on the attacking front.

Luke Shaw (MUN) - £5.2 million | Opponent: FUL (H): Luke Shaw should get a decent FPL haul when a well-rested United side take on Fulham in Gameweek 37.

Stuart Dallas (LEE) - £5.3 million | Opponent: SOU (A): Leeds United will look to continue their impressive late-season run. Dallas could get FPL points from both attack and defense and should cement his place as the top-scoring FPL defender this season.


Midfielders

Salah registered a 10-point FPL haul in Gameweek 36.

Jesse Lingard (WHU) (MID) - £6.2 million | Opponent: WBA (A): West Ham needs to win in their last two games to stand a chance of qualifying for the Europa League, and they'll need talisman Jesse Lingard to deliver. He'll look to reward the FPL owners who persisted with him against West Brom.

Mohamed Salah (LIV) - £12.5 million | Opponent: BUR (A): Salah's form and motivation make him an FPL must-have for these last two games. He'll look to get his side a place in the Champions League and also win the Golden Boot for himself.

Kai Havertz (CHE) (MID) - £8.3 million | Opponent: LEI (H): Havertz could be an effective FPL differential in Gameweek 37. He should feature in a must-win game for Chelsea and rack up the FPL points for his owners.

Riyad Mahrez (MCI) (MID) - £8.0 million | Opponent: BHA (A): After getting benched for consecutive PL matches, Riyad Mahrez should start for City against Brighton. Pep Guardiola will look to get his best XI some match practice ahead of the Champions League final, and Mahrez could use this game-time to produce another big FPL haul.


Forwards

Harry Kane could've had a better FPL haul in Gameweek 36.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin (EVE) - £7.6 million | Opponent: WOL (H): DCL will look to find the back of the net against Wolves in front of home fans at Goodison Park. He looks set for a decent FPL haul in this game.

Harry Kane (TOT) - £11.4 million | Opponent: AVL (H): Like Salah, Kane will also be driven by the race for the Golden Boot and his side's European aspirations. Expect him to add to his record-breaking FPL points tally this season.


Bench:

GK: Robert Sanchez (BHA) (£4.5 million) | Opponent: MCI (H):

1st Sub: Ollie Watkins (AVL) (FWD) - £6.3 million | Opponent: TOT (A)

2nd Sub: Jarrod Bowen (WHU) (MID) - £5.9 million | Opponent: WBA (A)

3rd Sub: Tyrick Mitchell (CRY) - £3.8 million | Opponent: ARS (H)
