GW36+ Points: 51PTS. (AVG: 40PTS). Transfers confirmed! With just two Gameweeks remaining, I’m going ALL-IN with a -8 hit and only two defenders available GW37+. Captain Ings or Rashford?
FANTASY PREMIER LEAGUE TEAM TIPS FOR 2019-20
FPL GW37+ Team
🚨 Final GW37+ Team! 🚨
***UPDATE: Final team barring any late news. Going a defender short for one Gameweek. All out attack with Pulisic on the bench. If there are lineup leaks GW38, I can use this squad like a Free Hit chip, picking from eight strong attackers depending on who is set to start. Ings is set as captain in case of any surprises in the FA Cup. Thanks and good luck!!! 👍💯 -Bruno
Going All-In
Despite all the setbacks leading up to and since the season restart, I’ve stayed true to selecting the Fantasy players I’m excited to watch.
Bending the rules.
To make up ground in the Overall Rank, I captained Salah instead of the popular Sterling GW36. Salah was facing an Arsenal side resting their regulars while Sterling played 90 minutes in his previous game and was at risk of rotation with the FA Cup. I’m not thinking in terms of courage, I’m measuring the risk. That risk must give me a sense of excitement, and that’s why I’m going all-in GW37+ once again. With two of my defenders (Taylor and Lascelles) ruled out for the season, my team is now a defender short.
I have to do something drastic to have any chance of reaching the top 100k. Should I take a -8 hit and go a player short with just two Gameweeks left in the season?

GW36+ Points.
⚽️ Upper 90 Studios climbed from 225k to 220k in the Overall Rank. Smallest green arrows ever.
GW36+ Review
Let’s break down performances starting with the player transferred in last week.
Gabriel Jesus (8PTS).
Jesus made a superb goal look easy as he skipped past defenders in the box and curled his shot around the keeper. Two shots on target and twice brought down in the box. Up next, Watford and Norwich.
⚽️ Gabriel Jesus is averaging 10 points per game in his last 3 games (3G, 2A).
Anthony Martial (8PTS).
Healthy competition between teammates is a positive. Martial has been working with Rashford to score as many goals as possible for the team. It’s all setting up nicely for a GW38+ clash between Leicester and United for the fourth Champions League spot. They’re tied on points, Leicester lead by three goals on goal difference. If both teams win their remaining games, United will need to take chances and score.
⚽️ Fernandes – Martial – Rashford could be the best United trio in FPL.
Matt Doherty (4PTS).
Off the bench chaos. Doherty inadvertently wiped out clean sheets for Patricio, Saiss and Boly while collecting points for an assist. To be fair, it should’ve been 1-1 seconds before the penalty when Chris Wood missed a free header. Was it even a handball? Doherty instinctively raised his arm to protect his head from a high boot.
Raul Jimenez (9PTS).
WHAT A GOAL! 🚀 Brilliant power and technique on the volley, maximum bonus. Last week I missed out on his points from the bench. This time KDB was fully rested and I’m grateful for Jimenez’s contribution. Bench points are always a positive even when the players don’t come on.
The bad.
Charlie Taylor (1PT) and Jamaal Lascelles (0PTS). I was using these two bargain defenders in a rotation system, now they’re both out! Taylor chased Adama Traore for 29 minutes before pulling up with a hamstring problem. Lascelles is out for the season. It’s another challenge when making up ground, so I may go for broke fielding just two defenders GW37+ and leave this problem for GW38+.
Alexander-Arnold. 2, 1, 0 are Trent’s returns in his last three games. Maybe his next score will be negative as he should’ve been sent off for a shin-high challenge that left Aubameyang confused.
WTF didnt Even get the VAR on this one

Mo Salah (2PTS, Captain). Salah has been working hard, but what’s the point when Firmino and Oxlade-Chamberlain are walking? After Sterling came on for a 1-point cameo, this was a massive chance to make up ground in the Overall Rank! I’m so disappointed with Liverpool. They’re lacking in concentration after clinching the title and I’m moving in a different direction.
GW37+ Transfers
Transfers: 3 (-8 hit)
Transfers OUT: Salah, Greenwood, Jimenez
Transfers IN: Mahrez, Rashford, Ings
*All transfers are confirmed. It will be fun watching the FA Cup before the new players feature for my team! 🙂
Riyad Mahrez (1PT).
Benched against Bournemouth, no guarantees of a start in the last two games. The success with Gabriel Jesus made it easier to roll the dice on another City player for the run-in. The idea with this triple change is to maximize points potential with high-ceiling players. Which player combination within budget can deliver the highest returns in the last two games? Forget the hits, I’m going for goals with Mahrez, Rashford and Ings and expect nothing less than 60 points per Gameweek from this threesome. 🙂
⚽️ Riyad Mahrez has been directly involved in 7 goals in his last 7 starts (3G, 4A).
Marcus Rashford (12PTS).
A goal, an assist and maximum bonus points. I brought Rashford in with the Wildcard, then sold him! I was drawn to Martial with Greenwood when the solution might’ve been Martial AND Rashford. It’s a decision I regret, but it’s easier looking back now.
⚽️ Marcus Rashford has 3 goals and 3 assists in his last 6 games.
Danny Ings (7PTS).
Southampton had just five shots against Brighton in the first half. As an Ings non-owner, it looked promising! Then they turned it on. Southampton finished on 21 shot attempts including an Ings effort that came off the woodwork. Ings is eyeing up the Golden Boot and faces Bournemouth next. Captain?
⚽️ Only Jamie Vardy (23) has more league goals than Danny Ings (20) this season.

GW37+ Current Team
*Current team, not final. Final GW37 team will be posted at the top of the page.
Going a defender short for one Gameweek. All out attack with Pulisic on the bench. Strong bench cover is important as we saw with Jimenez in the last two rounds, and it might have another advantage. If there are early lineup leaks GW38, I can use the deeper squad like a Free Hit chip, picking from quality options available depending on who is set to start. Ings is set as captain, but I may switch it to Rashford.
VAR Transparency
VAR, water timeouts and ten subs. What is happening to the game? The officiating at Man United versus Crystal Palace was incomprehensible. When Zaha was brought down in the box for a penalty, the officials and VAR ignored it. They then spent minutes manipulating lines on the screen to rule Ayew’s goal offside by a toe. Why was only one of these incidents a clear and obvious error?
- Referees are excused from making decisions because of VAR
- VAR officials are hesitant to go against the referees
It’s easy to see why there are so many glaring errors in the officiating with VAR.

#Hawkeye uses 7 cameras & we’re expected to believe all 7 were blocked from ball tracking
Questions:
1) Was Hawkeye actually active?
2) Why no input from assistant referee?
3) Why no #VAR?
4) How did underground betting markets know pre-game that #SheffUtd wouldn’t win#AVLSHU https://t.co/RDItD2k67w— FOOTBALL is FIXED (@footballisfixed) June 18, 2020
