The Gameweek 38 Team News

Laurent Koscielny remains a doubt for Arsenal’s home fixture against Everton. Liverpool’s Roberto Firmino faces a late fitness test ahead of Middlesbrough’s weekend visit, while Stoke’s Marko Arnautovic is a concern for the clash with Southampton.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain will miss Arsenal’s final day home meeting with Everton, while Laurent Koscielny will undergo a fitness test today on a calf problem. Midfielder Aaron Ramsey is “alright” according to Gunners boss Arsene Wenger, after being forced off with a knock in the midweek win over Sunderland.

Jurgen Klopp is optimistic that Roberto Firmino will recover from the knock that forced him to miss last week’s 4-0 win at West Ham – the Brazilian faces a late fitness test ahead of Sunday’s Anfield showdown with Middlesbrough.

Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe will be without Lewis Cook for the trip to Leicester City, with the midfielder away on international duty with the England U20s. Dan Gosling is fit again following a calf complaint, though, and Andrew Surman is also back in contention following a knee injury.

Winston Reid will miss West Ham United’s trip to Burnley after undergoing surgery on a long-standing knee injury.

Harry Maguire, Evandro and Abel Hernandez are all expected to miss Hull City’s home clash against Tottenham Hotspur.

Andros Townsend has been ruled out of Crystal Palace’s trip to Manchester United with an Achilles injury, while Yohan Cabaye (foot) is a major doubt. Eagles boss Sam Allardyce did reveal James Tomkins is likely to be passed fit, however.

Marko Arnautovic is the main injury concern for Stoke City manager Mark Hughes ahead of the trip to Southampton after suffering a bang to his elbow in last weekend’s 4-1 defeat to Arsenal.

Swansea City head coach Paul Clement could be without Borja Baston (knee) for the home fixture against West Bromwich Albion, but Angel Rangel and Wayne Routledge returned to full training last week and are expected to be available for selection.

West Brom head coach Tony Pulis revealed there were a couple of “knocks and bruises” suffered during the 3-1 defeat to Manchester City on Tuesday night that need to be assessed, with Salomon Rondon (hamstring) believed to be the biggest concern. Gareth McAuley (knock) and Matt Phillips (hamstring) remain major doubts.

All this and more has now been updated in the Team News section ahead of Sunday’s deadline. Keep an eye on our official Twitter Stream for breaking news – as the day unfolds, we will issue updates from Friday’s press conferences and refresh our Team News tab accordingly to keep you informed.

    Shows how much this wonderful site has developed over the years apart from the talent of the managers!

    Note : The ranks shown above are only of those who have an FFS username (Probably I have missed some names - they can add it below). Besides these, there are plenty lurkers who benefit from this site - some are in the FFS league and some are not.

          You have an option of providing the link of your FPL team in your profile. Besides these I took out names from community tournaments, FFS Cup and comments made by themselves, etc.

      Head to head ML will be decided in the final gameweek!!
      Rival and I are tied for points! I could really use some advice now.
      Teams are very similar at this point. I only have 1 FT and 0.2 ITB.
      AOA available, but not sure if I should play it or not.
      Should I get rid of Gabbi and play AOA??
      Really need to win final match!

      MY CURRENT TEAM:
      Willy
      Holding Alonso
      Sanchez(C) Fab Alli King Sane
      Kane(V) Gabbi Jesus

      Pickford Yoshi Stephens Bailly

      Only DIFFERENCES for rival:
      Vertonghen instead of Holding
      Hazard instead of Fab
      Anichebe instead of Gabbi

      2. DHWizzo
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        I think i might do this instead of Hazard and skip taking a -4 to get Fabs in as well.

        Alli been cool that last few weeks and Kane all you really need for Hull (who will be tighter than Leicester were).

    9. Weasel51
      • 8 Years

        Need them to fund Gabbi > Sturridge/Vardy

        1. Top 210 Club
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Not worth a hit, you should have a strong 5 man mid no? Play 3-5-2? bench Gabbi which is what many are doing

          1. Weasel51
            • 8 Years

            JWP is my 5th mid

    10. Pep says

      Pick one to bench

      a) Alli
      b) Benteke

      Repost with a tweak. Which differential mid would you get in if you have to pick one of these?

      A) Mahrez (BOU)
      B) Pedro (SUN)) - Could be sideways but not if Hazard doesn't play
      C) Sane (wat) - Already have Jesus but I don't think that's relevant

          Has Klopp already spoken today? Coutinho fine and dandy?

            Not heard anything from Klopp but there is nothing been spoken about that there would be any issues with little Phil.

          Erik plays Hull

                  And unbeaten for 10 games before that and rarely conceding more than one goal. They are decent side at home. They might not turn up anymore though

                  1. Eden ACCOUNT CLOSED

                    Can't see them turning up. Relegated, demoralising, depleted squad, about to lose their manager because he's talented and, playing a city which likes rugby more than football.

                    And Boro have gone the opposite way conceding plenty under the new manager.

                Yet you want to captain Kane? Who will provide him with magnificent passes?

                  See below, Im starting to change my mind

                    • 10 Years
                    7 years, 5 months ago

                    After Hull conceded 6 goals against Palace and Sunderland, I would be reluctant to take out one of the most consistent attacking players in the game before he plays them. Especially after Spurs scored 6 in their last away game.

                    Liverpool will not necessarily thrash Boro - they are playing poorly at home and will be under intense pressure. They've managed 3 goals in 3 home games against average opposition

                    1. Bubz
                      • 11 Years
                      7 years, 5 months ago

                      Just going with my gut on this one. I don't expect a huge score from Eriksen. Coutinho's stats are superior recently. I want something explosive in the last week and Eriksen isn't really that

                        7 years, 5 months ago

                        Only bring in Coutinho if you're going to captain him otherwise surely there's better transfers you can make.

                          7 years, 5 months ago

                          My team doesnt need any transfers:

                          Willy
                          Alonso, Monreal, Yoshida
                          Sanchez, Sane, Fabregas, *Coutinho*
                          Jesus, Costa, Kane

                          What better transfers are you talking about apart from Coutinho and Matip?

    13. tm245
      • 13 Years

      I know Costa missed a PK earlier this season when there was no Hazard -- is he still next up, or is Willian ahead of him?

      1. Sess!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Willian would usually be ahead but tomorrow it could be anyone. Terry more than likely if chelsea already winning.

        Willian took a good one in the FA cup against Spurs and Conte seemed keen for him to take it too

      Need some help. Managed to miss deadline for last gameweek and missed playing my TC chip.

      Have a front 7 of

      Coutinho Sanchez Ali King
      Jesus Kane Hughes

      Who to TC in final gamweek. Am leaning towards Lil Phil for deferrential.
      Any ideas welcome.

      1. UnitedFan
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Kane or Cout

        1. asquishypotato
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years

          This

      2. Eden ACCOUNT CLOSED

        Kane to run riot

      3. Pep says

        Kane!

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years

        Entirely depends on ML position. For pure points go Kane

    15. asquishypotato
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      What to do?

      Hazard Pedro Sanchez Erik King
      Kane Jesus

      Do I bring in coutinho? I expect Chelsea to roll out their first 11 and shame to transfer out a player.

      Alternatively Pedro to coutinho and a defender out for -4 to affors

      1. Tired and weary
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        In an identical situation!

        I feel as though Pedro will get more minutes than Haz, although I'm bitter about them both following their DGW performance. The other option is Erik, although he'll likely start after being rested v Leicester, plus they're playing Hull.

        Tough one, think I'll still be thinking about it on Sunday morning!

    17. Coaly
      • 11 Years

      a) Caballero to Mignolet
      b) Haz to Cout

      1. Miguel Sanchez

        A

      2. UnitedFan

        B. Focus on offensive transfers this week

        1. Make Arrows Green Again
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Completely disagree. Any sideways moves can end up losing points, but defensive upgrades to Chelsea or Liverpool and those players are CSs to lose

          1. UnitedFan
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 5 months ago

            Hazard to Cout isn't sideways and offensive transfers this week necessarily aren't either

          2. All about the galacticos
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 5 months ago

            Yes, to certain extent, but disagree when it comes to keepers.
            Cabellero to Mignolet get you a max of 4pts upside if mignolet gets clean sheet, and cab doesn't
            I'd go B

      3. Weasel51
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        B

      With conte saying ' every player here has pleasure at Chelsea' does that mean more game time for the likes of Willian/cesc?

    19. Atimis
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Willy
      Alonso Monreal Davies
      Sanchez Hazard Eriksen Sane King
      Kane Jesus

      Pick Yoshida Gabbi Holgate

      1FT 0.6ITB

      Hazard or Eriksen to Coutinho?
      Rest is fine ?

      1. Pep says
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        I'd ship Hazard for the following reasons

        Eriksen got rested yesterday. He'll be ready for road and providing an unstoppable Kane with deliveries all game

        Hazard may play but his role with a quite one. I see him sitting deep and not risking injury from a silly/late challenge due to his pace. With FA Cup in mind, he may play, but Conte will protect him and won't play him in the danger areas. I think that's why he's been blanking lately. His main job is make sure he doesn't get injured.

        1. Atimis
          • 8 Years

          Thanks a lot !!!

    21. Smoky Johnson
      • 7 Years

      Who get more points on Sunday:
      King or Sane?

      1. Weasel51
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Sane

        1. Pep says
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Based on what? Tough call. I'd play King because he's the main source of points in the squad. Anyone could get returns from City with Sané, Kun, Jesus, Yaya, DeBruyne, Sterling, Silva and even the defence carrying goal threat.

          1. Smoky Johnson
            • 7 Years

        • 8 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        we can make some inferences though. If terry plays that means one of the stable back 3 (azpi, luiz, cahill) wont play... given everyones theories about azpi playing every minute that means that luiz and cahill might be benched. Which also gives double to conte being worrid about FA cup started not playing a game for 2 weeks...

        certainly makes me less confident about Alonso and costa playing not more confident

        1. S.Agueroooooo

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      I know they won 6-1 last night but surely Eriksen will return for Spurs' final game of the season now he's had his rest?

      Wondering whether to ship him or Hazard with my FT, or should I keep both?

      1. Top 210 Club
        • 14 Years

        unless he has a niggle, just hold off until presser, deadline on sunday

    24. Bubz
      • 11 Years

      Maybe I won't even captain Kane. Hull are absolutely beastly at home

      1. dhamphiir
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Everyone said about Leicester City and look what Kane did
        4 Goal and 1 assist

        1. Bubz
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Just think it's an advantage to captain a home player in the final week of the season. The home fans and atmosphere for the last game should get the players up for it. God knows what happened to Leicester last night though

        2. Smurf
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

            Yeah - I thought I must have missed this one too. But I'm not sure about Hull being beastly either.

              How are they not beastly? Won 8 and drawn 2 before the Sunderland game. Rarely ever concede more than one

                • 8 Years

                Maguire is likely to be out, though.

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years

      4. HurriKane
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Hul have conceded 3 or more goals in 5 of the last 11 games.

        They have leaked more goals than Sunderland and Boro in this period.

        Kane(C) fighitngn for golden boot seems the way to go 😉

        1. Bubz
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          They haven't conceded more than 2 at home in their last 10 home games. I do think Kane will score though he is not human

    25. Rash

      Cech
      Alonso Ake
      Sanchez (C), Sigurdson, Erikson, King, Sane
      Kane (VC), Jesus, Gabbiadini

      Pickford, Stephens, Holding, Holgate

      I realise the doubts of Gabbi and Erikson, but.. Good to go?

      Think/hope getting Coutinho for Hazard will be profitable. Even if Haz play it doesnt mean Coutinho cant have a big score 🙂

      Best striker 9.5 or under? (Agonisingly close to Sturridge)

      [=====HELP=====]

      I'm already behind Rival by 80 points BUT we have a monthly competition where Rival is just 20 points ahead.

      This means I can try to take hits to catch up to him for the Monthly as it won't be counted

      My Team:

      Caballero
      Alonso, Monreal, Yoshida, Holding (Stephens)
      Sanchez, Hazard, Eriksen, Sane (Capoue)
      Kane, Jesus (Gabbiadini)

      His team:

      Forster/Pickford
      Alonso, Holding, Kompany, Stephens ( McAuley )
      Sanchez,Hazard,Sane,King,Dier
      Kane, Jesus, Gabbiadini

      I need to make up 20 points, he will most likely do Hazard --> Coutinho

      I'm thinking of doing either Hazard/Eriksen --> Coutinho AND Gabbiadini --> Llorente

      What do you guys think?
