Defender: Daniel Munoz vs Wolves (H) - 4.6 points

Crystal Palace have been in sound defensive form in recent games, with clean sheets coming against Spurs and Bournemouth in the last four Gameweeks to take them to 11 for the season. Only five clubs have kept more clean sheets in this campaign.

Daniel Munoz remains the most attractive route into the Crystal Palace defence, largely playing high and advanced as a wing-back under Oliver Glasner. He is among the most attacking defenders in the game, registering 10 goal involvements this season: four goals and six assists.

He leads the way among defenders for shots on target with 18, including nine big chances. The Eagles could be fatigued going into this fixture on Tuesday evening following their involvement in the FA Cup final on Saturday. Opponents Wolves have failed to score in their last two league games.

Midfielder: Bukayo Saka vs Newcastle United (H) - 6.4 points

Bukayo Saka leads the way as the AI’s best captain pick for Gameweek 37, 0.3 points ahead of Mohamed Salah, who we have seen dominating this position this season! The home game is significant here, with just a point required to guarantee Champions League football next season.

Saka’s minutes have improved in recent games as he puts his injury troubles behind him, but he has only produced one goal involvement in the Premier League since his return. He’s sitting on 17 goal involvements for the campaign: six goals and 11 assists.

Their opponents, Newcastle United, will be equally motivated in this fixture, with a win required for their involvement in the Champions League for 2025/26. Buying Saka could prove fruitful on the final day when Arsenal travel to bottom-of-the-table Southampton.

Forward: Ollie Watkins vs Spurs (H) - 5.9 points

Aston Villa’s final home game of the season comes on Friday night (note the earlier deadline here) as they entertain Spurs at Villa Park. Ollie Watkins is currently the most transferred-in player for Gameweek 37, with his minutes secure given the injury to Marcus Rashford

The motivation of either side here is vast, with Aston Villa currently out of the Champions League spots on goal difference. They have won four of their last five league games, while Spurs have lost four of their five, with their attention on the Europa League final against Manchester United on Wednesday evening.

Ollie Watkins' points haul in recent weeksFantasy Football Hub

Watkins has three goals and one assist from his last four Gameweeks, taking him up to 23 goal involvements for the campaign: 16 goals and seven assists. More than half of those returns have come at Villa Park. Spurs have conceded 11 goals in four away games since the international break.

Hidden Gem: Kevin De Bruyne vs Bournemouth (H) - 5.7 points

Kevin De Bruyne is set to play his final home game in the Premier League for Manchester City, with a performance under the lights at the Etihad against Bournemouth set to be a special one. His contract expires this summer, and he will be available on a free transfer.

He’s been playing excellent football since his return from injury around the last international break. He’s started six league games in a row, with two goals and one assist in this time, with his side unbeaten in this spell. He remains reasonably low owned, in just 14.5% of teams.

Kevin De Bruyne's season statsFantasy Football Hub

Manchester City compete in the FA Cup final against Crystal Palace on Saturday before this fixture, but will still need crucial points in the Premier League to secure a top-five finish and Champions League football for 2025/26. The Cherries also have an outside chance of European qualification themselves.
