Shrewd Moves and Differentials: Double Gameweek 37 FPL Tips – Fantasy Premier League Tips

It’s a DOUBLE! Players from Watford, West Ham and Manchester United feature in this weeks picks.

Hello to all Fantasy Premier League managers and welcome to another weekly edition of our Shrewd Moves and Differentials series.

As this week is a Double Gameweek (Gameweek 37) we were spoiled for choice when it came to shortlisting target buys for this weeks fixtures, however, we decided not to put up the likes of Defoe, Carroll, Noble and even Martial, as these players are probably already on your Watchlist and are pretty obvious picks.

These players will also be covered in other articles we offer this week, so, here are my top 4 picks for those FPL managers who are looking to go against the grain this week and try to claw back a few places in their mini-leagues.

Troy Deeney – Watford

Price/Ownership: £5.3m / 6.1%

Next 3 Fixtures: Liverpool (A) & Norwich (A), Sunderland (H)

Last 3 Gameweek points: 1, -1, 13

A brace from Troy Deeney secured a win over Aston Villa at the weekend, earning the skipper a cool 13 points. Heading into the Double Gameweek in GW37, Watford have some of the easiest fixtures of any team in the league.

Deeney is Watford’s penalty taker and has seemed to pick up the goal scoring responsibility from Odion Ighalo, who has been quiet for quite some time now. Deeney hasn’t been the most consistent of forwards this year, but, he should be good for a couple goals in the end of the season.

As things stand at 11am on the 4th of May, 2016, over 17,000 Fantasy Premier League managers have transferred Troy Deeney in to their FPL teams for the Double Gameweek 37 fixtures, making him the 4th most transferred in striker this weekend.

Aaron Cresswell – West Ham

Price/Ownership: £5.7m / 13.2%

Next 3 Fixtures: Swansea (H) & Man United (H), Stoke (A)

Last 3 Gameweek points: 8, 2, 6

Aaron, Aaron, Aaron. I owned him for the middle part of the season and got no attacking returns, but since then, he’s come good in front of goal. I would feel confident in owning him for this last part of the season, as by owning the West Ham full-back, you don’t solely rely on him for clean sheets to grab you FPL points – he’s a very attack-minded defender who tends to see plenty of action in the opponents half down the left flank.

Swansea and Stoke are both good defensive fixtures, and even Manchester United have struggled to score this season. Cresswell provides the best attacking potential of any West Ham defender. He’d be my choice for your back line if you can afford him, who I think is still fairly priced at only £5.7m.

Aaron Cresswell is currently the most transferred in Fantasy Premier League defender, as over 31,000 managers have already signed him up for the Double Gameweek 37 fixtures.

Antonio Valencia – Manchester United

Price/Ownership: £5.0m / 1.1%

Next 3 Fixtures: Norwich (A), West Ham (A), Bournemouth (H)

Last 3 Gameweek points: 12, 8, 6

Manchester United’s back line has been one of the most difficult to predict, defensive squads in the league, but I feel confident that Valencia will continue to start through the rest of the season. He’s contributed 2 assists and 2 clean sheets in his last three games for an impressive point history.

There is always a risk with Man United defenders, but Valencia has been performing well and should continue to start. With Norwich and Bournemouth fixtures to come, I see nothing wrong with taking a chance on Valencia, especially at only £5.0m, he’s a cheap way in to the United defence on FPL and doesn’t carry too much rotational risk in my opinion.

Antonio Valencia is currently the 3rd most transferred in Fantasy Premier League defender, with over 13,000 managers putting their faith in the United wing-back.

Andros Townsend – Newcastle

Price/Ownership: £5.8m / 2.0%

Next 3 Fixtures: Aston Villa (A), Spurs (H)

Last 3 Gameweek points: 2, 2, 10

Townsend is a repeat mention from a few weeks ago, but with the relegation battle ablaze, I felt it would be useful to mention him again. He seems to be the preferred midfield option under Benitez, pushing Jonjo Shelvey to the bench.

A game against Villa this weekend is too good of an opportunity to pass up in my opinion. With Townsend’s deadly free-kick display, I see no reason to not look at him, despite only playing one game in Gameweek 37. For his price, he’s a steal for a team fighting for every point to remain in the Premier League next season.

Andros Townsend is currently the 10th most transferred in Fantasy Premier League midfielder for Gameweek 37, which, isn’t that great considering only 10,000 managers have so far decided to buy him. However, I’m sure this number will stay fairly low due to FPL managers mainly focusing on those players with with a possible 180 minutes of game time to play.
