The Dugout Discussion – Gameweek 38

The 2016/17 season comes to a close this afternoon, with all 10 Gameweek 38 matches getting underway at 3pm.

We’re spoilt for choice in terms of armband options for the final round of fixtures, with the top three players in this week’s Captain Poll – Alexis Sanchez, Harry Kane and Philippe Coutinho – are serving up their highest hauls of the season in Gameweek 37.

Kane’s four-goal blitz at the King Power takes him two ahead of his nearest challenger Romelu Lukaku for the Golden Boot, while Sanchez welcomes Everton on the back of three successive double-figure tallies.

Throw in champions Chelsea at home to relegated Sunderland (Eden Hazard and Diego Costa both start) and Man City’s trip to a decimated Watford defence and it’s fair to say that goals look very much on Sunday’s agenda.

So sit back and enjoy the frantic next couple of hours’ action – it won’t be until August 12 before domestic action comes back our way again.

    Thank you Josh King! Best transfer ever. Scores week in week out then in GW38 stands aside for my first sub Llorente :). 106 for the week means I sneak into top 10k. Happy enough this season.

    Unbelievable finish to my ML, trailing by 12 (took a 4 point hit to make it 16) outscored him by 17. Late Fabregas assist the difference.

    I just want to thank the whole of FFS community for the help I've received this season! (Replies to my comments or post I've read). This is the first season I've used this site, and I only started using it during December. By GW12 my OR was 2.7m and last place in ML. I finished off at 540k OR and 2nd in ML. I wish I started using this site sooner!! The comment section and Polls at times are more useful than the article themselves 😀 I hope everyone enjoys their summer and I can't wait to get started for next season!!!

    Just want to thank all the lovely people who have advised me throughout the season helping me achieve my first finish in the top 10k, just outside the top 9k rank. 30k last season was my previous best. Target next season surely has to be top 5k or better. This site has really been fantastic for me though with all the fantastic stats and advice that's given. I try to help too but there are some on here who certainly are worth their weight in gold.

    Hi All,
    Any idea how is all ML points counting? Both is 2157. Before gw my position was 1 his 2. He get more points this week, and now he is 1 and I am 2. Equal points. Who should get price. Or you think price 1 and 2 should be added and split.

    WENGER OUT. Last couple weeks doing my headache. Giroud for -4.
    Thanks for replay

      Think it's done on transfers made. Could be wrong. I have no idea really

    Hello from a 24/7 lurker here... I have never posted anything before as this was practically my first year playing FPL. Last year I was super casual starting at GW6 and not knowing how price changes work so I ended up in the 2M mark. This year I can't say I am very satisfied overall as I know I made a lot of mistakes and being rather unlucky on 50-50 captain choices. But thanks to this website and Ben Crellin's calendar I was able to prepare my team for the DGW and jump from 400k on GW35 to 86K today. The last 3 game weeks were orgasmic. I am looking forward for the next season so I can repeat the same knee jerking transfers. (I hope I learnt from my mistakes). Thanks to all the wise , trolls and know it all lads for keeping me occupied this year. I think I am going to post more often next season. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

        Thanks Andy.. I was really amazed on the success you had on your transfers from a certain point and on.. I was thinking to myself after every gameweek ..Why don't I just do what he is about to do? Congratulations on your best season as well.
