As we approach Double Gameweek 37, top Fantasy Premier League managers are making strategic moves to optimise their squads for the final push. Here are the top 5 transfer combinations they are employing:
N. Jackson In / Solanke Out - N. Jackson has been in scintillating form, netting 3 goals in his last 3 appearances for Chelsea, amassing 26 points. With an expected FPL (xFPL) of 24.23, his performance aligns closely with expectations. Jackson's upcoming fixtures include a double gameweek against Nott'm Forest and Brighton, followed by a final match against Bournemouth, making him a popular choice. - Solanke has managed 1 goal and 12 points over the same period, with an xFPL of 15.11. Despite a promising fixture against Brentford in GW37, with other forwards having two fixtures this Gameweek it looks to have influenced managers to transfer him out.
Burn In / Schär Out - Burn has been a defensive asset for Newcastle, contributing 1 goal, 1 assist, and 2 clean sheets in the last 3 games, resulting in 27 points. His xFPL of 17.42 suggests he's outperforming expectations. Burn has a double gameweek facing Brighton and Man Utd, followed by Brentford in GW38. - Schär is currently sidelined with a hamstring injury, expected back on June 1st. With no projected points for the upcoming fixtures, it's no surprise managers are transferring him out.
N. Jackson In / Watkins Out - Watkins has had a quieter spell at Aston Villa, failing to score in his last 3 matches, though he did provide 2 assists. His 13 points fall slightly short of his xFPL of 13.87. Watkins faces Liverpool at home in GW37 and Crystal Palace away in GW38. - Jackson's aforementioned form and fixtures make him a favourable option over Watkins for the top managers.
N. Jackson In / Muniz Out - Muniz has recorded 1 goal, 1 assist, and 13 points for Fulham, with an xFPL of 11.34. His upcoming fixtures include a challenging home game against Man City in GW37 and a more favourable match against Luton in GW38. - Jackson's double gameweek and consistent scoring form make him a more attractive prospect than Muniz.
Gvardiol In / Schär Out - Gvardiol has been a standout defender for Man City, contributing 1 goal, 1 assist, and 2 clean sheets, tallying 27 points. However, his xFPL of 17.42 indicates he's over performing. Gvardiol has a double gameweek with fixtures against Fulham and Spurs, and a final GW38 match against West Ham. - With Schär injured and not contributing points, Gvardiol's double gameweek and defensive solidity make him a prime target for transfer.
In summary, the top managers are targeting players with favourable fixtures, particularly those with double gameweeks, and moving away from injured players or those with tougher matchups. The focus is on maximising points potential through informed transfers, with an eye on both immediate returns and the season's endgame.

What is xFPL?
xFPL is calculated primarily using expected goals (xG), assists (xA), which combine as Fantasy Premier League (FPL) involvements (xG + xA = xI), as well as expected clean sheets (xCS). These numbers are a result of underlying statistics (i.e. shot type and location will give a probability of scoring = xG). xFPL is the combination of these statistics and factors in appearance and bonus points to give an overall expected FPL point score.
