Arsenal and Everton stars lead our FPL Gameweek 37 team selection as managers look to finish the season strongly despite recent Pep Roulette chaos.

Fantasy Premier League managers are feeling the intense heat of the campaign's final stretch as the standard double gameweek strategies give way to the pure pursuit of points. Our Gameweek 37 selection focuses on high-upside differentials and title-chasing heavy hitters designed to secure those crucial late-season rank jumps.

How did last week's team do?

Pep Guardiola's unpredictable rotation policy scuppered many double gameweek plans, resulting in a frustratingly modest 63-point return for the squad. The infamous "Pep Roulette" remains the primary hazard for managers, underscoring the importance of having a robust bench to cover for sudden superstar absences.

The selection for the penultimate week of the season leans heavily on Arsenal's defensive stability and Manchester United's record-chasing captain. It is a balanced lineup tailored to exploit favorable home fixtures for teams with everything still to play for in the European and title races.

Keeper and defence

Caoimhin Kelleher starts in goal against a rotated Crystal Palace, while Arsenal's Gabriel and Myles Lewis-Skelly provide a double-up on the league's most reliable defense. They are joined by Everton's James Tarkowski and Newcastle's Malick Thiaw, both of whom represent significant threats from attacking set-pieces this weekend.

Midfield

Bruno Fernandes is the focal point of the midfield as he hunts the Premier League single-season assist record against a Nottingham Forest side with little left to play for. Support comes from a goal-hungry Casemiro and Everton's Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, who offers a fantastic differential option for managers looking to break away from the template.

Strikers

Viktor Gyokeres takes the captain's armband for Arsenal's clash with Burnley, boasting superior statistical metrics at the Emirates compared to his away form. He is flanked by the ever-reliable Erling Haaland and Brentford's Igor Thiago, who is overdue a major points haul based on his recent expected goals data.

Subs bench

The bench provides essential budget security with Bernd Leno, James Garner, James Hill, and Liverpool's rising prospect Rio Ngumoha ready to step in. With a total team cost of just £98.7m, this squad demonstrates how to fit elite premium assets alongside high-value role players. more football news on MATCHLINE
