We’re back with our picks for the best FPL differentials for this week (Gameweek 37) as Fantasy Premier League managers look for crucial late-season advantages. With only 2 gameweeks remaining, gaining rank often requires more than simply following the most popular selections. Differential picks can provide the edge needed to make significant progress in mini-leagues and overall standings, especially during a stage of the season where rotation, fatigue, and unpredictable results become increasingly common. The standout differentials for Gameweek 37 are players with low ownership, favorable fixtures, strong recent performances, and the ability to produce explosive returns while flying under the radar of most managers.
Defenders
Lewis Dunk (Brighton, £4.5m)
Lewis Dunk was brilliant for Brighton in the game against Wolves last week, as he was solid in defense and also scored one of the goals for his side. Brighton will now face Leeds in Gameweek 37, which on paper is another easy game. At a price of just £4.5m, Dunk is without a doubt one of the best cheap differentials in FPL this week.
James Tarkowski (Everton, £5.7m)
James Tarkowski has been one of Everton's best players this season. In fact, he's also been their highest scoring player in Fantasy Premier League so far with 164 points. That's 10 more than second-placed James Garner at 154. Tarkowski was impressive in their recent game against Crystal Palace, and Sunderland at home this week is a decent fixture as well.
Midfielders
Declan Rice (Arsenal, £7.2m)
Declan Rice has arguably been Arsenal's best player this season in the Premier League. He's also massively improved as well this season from an all-round game perspective, and hence Rice is someone who could give you a great combined total in FPL through his attacking and defensive contributions in a game. With Arsenal facing Burnley at home in Gameweek 37, he is without a doubt an attractive FPL differential for this week.
Casemiro (Manchester United, £5.9m)
Casemiro has been simply sensational for Manchester United in what is his final season for the club. In addition to his solid presence in midfield, the former Real Madrid star has been exceptional when it comes to being a set-piece threat. The fact he's scored 9 goals this season is a proof of that. Forest at home is a great fixture to pick a player like him.
Striker
João Pedro (Chelsea, £7.5m)
Chelsea might've had a disastrous Premier League season, but from an individual perspective, João Pedro has recorded in excellent numbers this season. He's scored 15 goals and also assisted another 5 so far. The Blues will now face Spurs at home, whose weak defense could be exploited by Pedro. The Brazilian is definitely one of the best FPL differentials for this week.
As Gameweek 37 approaches, smart differential choices could once again become decisive in separating successful managers from the rest of the competition. While highly owned assets offer stability and protection, low-owned players with strong attacking involvement or favorable tactical roles can create major swings in rankings when they deliver. Identifying the right balance between calculated risk and reliable potential is especially important during the closing weeks of the campaign. The best differentials are not simply unique picks, but players capable of turning opportunity into significant points returns at a crucial moment in the season, making careful selection essential for managers aiming to finish strongly.
