Best FPL captain picks for Gameweek 37 (GW37)
Viktor Gyökeres (Arsenal, £9.0m)
After a slow start to his Arsenal career in the Premier League, Viktor Gyökeres has come to life for the Gunners in the past few months, and he now has 14 league goals as well. Burnley at home is an excellent fixture for him to add to that, and he's almost guaranteed to get a lot of service in this game as Arsenal will probably be quite attacking. Undoubtedly an attractive FPL captain for Gameweek 37.
Bruno Fernandes (Manchester United, £10.4m)
Bruno Fernandes has been a bit underwhelming in the past games for Manchester United. Nottingham Forest at home this week is an excellent opportunity for Fernandes to once again put up a classic performance that has made him an FPL favorite this season. Forest are also now safe from relegation, which is a slight boost as well for Bruno and United.
Erling Haaland (Bournemouth, £14.7m)
Erling Haaland now has 26 goals and 8 assists in 34 Premier League appearances this season. Thus, he averages a goal contribution in each game. These numbers are simply crazy, and also a big reason why you need to have someone like him in your team no matter what. Bournemouth away is a tough fixture, but Haaland is Haaland, and thus he's undoubtedly one of the best FPL captain picks for the week.
Bukayo Saka (Arsenal, £10.0m)
If you're not sure about having someone like Viktor Gyökeres as your FPL captain this week but still want to have an Arsenal player as captain considering the easy fixture, then look no further than Bukayo Saka. The English winger has been really impressive for Arsenal in recent weeks, in what has otherwise been an underwhelming individual season for him. This is the perfect time to captain him.
Thiago (Brentford, £7.3m)
For those who want to take a huge risk and go for a differential captain that might end up giving you huge points in the end, then Thiago stands out as a fantastic option for this week. Crystal Palace have been shockingly poor in the Premier League this season, and their priority now will also be the Conference League final. Thus, Thiago stands out as a potentially great captaincy pick.
Conclusion
Making the correct captain selection in Gameweek 37 could have a huge impact on both your weekly performance and overall Fantasy Premier League season. With several elite options available, focusing on players with strong momentum, secure minutes, and favorable fixtures remains the safest route toward maximizing returns. The captain picks highlighted above combine consistency, attacking threat, and the ability to produce decisive moments under pressure.
Before confirming your choice, it is important to evaluate your team strategy, rank objectives, and willingness to take risks. A reliable popular captain can help maintain position, while an explosive differential could provide a major advantage late in the season. With so much at stake, the right captaincy decision in Gameweek 37 might be the key to finishing the campaign on a high note.
