3. Bruno Fernandes (Man Utd)
- GW37 opponent: Nottingham Forest (H)
- Predicted points: 5.9
Bruno Fernandes may not be leading the captaincy polls, but he’s certainly leading the popularity charts going into this home game against Nottingham Forest. Both sides are effectively on the beach, with Champions League football guaranteed for Manchester United.
However, there’s plenty of individual narratives, including Fernandes looking to level the Premier League record for assists in a Premier League season of 20. He’s just one away on 19. It’s also Casemiro’s final home game, a player who he has combined with so well this season.
Manager Michael Carrick is also bidding for the permanent role, with Fernandes delivering an attacking return in every single home game in his tenure. He has picked up five double-digit hauls since January at Old Trafford.
2. Bukayo Saka (Arsenal)
- GW37 opponent: Burnley (H)
- Predicted points: 7.5
Arsenal have the most attractive fixture of the gameweek as they entertain a Burnley side already relegated at the Emirates on Monday night. A win would move them one step closer to the Premier League title, currently sitting two points clear at the top of the table.
Defender Gabriel sits narrowly ahead of Bukayo Saka in the AI predictions, on 7.5 for this game. But it’s Saka who fantasy managers are looking to back for the armband ahead of this one. Backing the attacker still provides the excitement!
Saka is the third most transferred-in player ahead of this fixture, with one goal and one assist in the last four gameweeks. Those came in the 3-0 win at home to Fulham. With goal difference still key for Arsenal, this will be a key fixture to get one over on Manchester City.
1. Erling Haaland (Man City)
- GW37 opponent: Bournemouth (A)
- Predicted points: 7.7
Erling Haaland frustrated his backers in the second fixture of his double gameweek, failing to emerge from the bench in the 3-0 home win against Crystal Palace on Wednesday night. Now Manchester City contest the FA Cup final on Saturday before visiting Bournemouth.
They’ll still need points on the board in this game, with Arsenal having the opportunity to move five points clear of them once again ahead of this fixture. Haaland scored a brace in the reverse fixture for a 13-point haul, with an impressive tally of 26 goals in this campaign.
He has scored in four successive gameweeks, where he tops the charts for shots (18), shots on target (eight) and big chances (10). Bournemouth won’t be on the beach though, with their current sixth-placed position having the potential for Champions League football next season.
