The Dugout Discussion – Gameweek 38

5,358 Comments
Share

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.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

        Many thanks to all guys out here...
        I have to say this is a fantastic site...

        My OR was 300K in GW 26...
        I possibly started being regular here around that time...
        Since then I had all green arrows bar one GW.

        OR @ 13K after GW37.
        First ever ton in GW 37 (195)
        Second ton this GW38 - 107.

        Eagerly waiting for final OR.
        Was trailing in ML until GW 35 and have now comfortably won it by nearly 50 points.
        Also won 2 H2H leagues one with a nailbiting must win game this week...

        Once again many thanks to all suggestions here..I am sure I will be a member next season. My aim would be to finish in top 10K next season.

            I know it was strange he should have been allowed to go for the milestone

              but yes, well done to him. Difficult to get the TC right in an SGW.

          It's confirmed. Can't believe I lost by 3 points. Rival had Cahill come on for the jammiest clean sheet of all time, whilst I was wallowing with Alonso.... thought I had the Chelsea defence at least matched vs him...
