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.

    Differential GW38 Wildcard https://fantasy.premierleague.com/a/team/311/event/38

      8/10. Sturridge and Siggy a let down. Still to finish pretty much 10k when you take a 40pt hit is damn good.

      6/10.

      Wrong captain choice.

    Won my ML by 200 points and I'm only going to finish around 20k... The joys of playing with casuals

    Harry Kane alone has scored more goals than the whole team of Middlesbrough
    And he has played 9 less games than Boro!

    Chip gains throughout the season:
    Triple Captain: Aguero GW27, 27 points, (+9) gain
    All Out Attack: GW34, Maguire got 9 points, but I was going to bench Siggy (6) anyway if I didn’t play AoA, (-3) loss
    Bench Boost: GW37, Pickford (6), Yoshida (9), Stephens (8), Barnes (1), (+24) gain
    Most effective chip for me was the BB.
    Total chip net gain excluding both of the wildcards:
    (+30)
    Chips percentage of total score (excluding WCs):
    1.4%

    1. CostaCoffee
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Bench boost (+41)
      TC (+10)
      AOA (+9 ( Capoue 10 over Galloway 1))
      Total = 60 = 2.5%

  6. Jafooli

    If Uwais hadn't made transfers (Alli & Sane > Coutinho & Lallana for a hit) he would have won?

    1. Ógie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Restless night for him

    2. drughi

      harsh

    3. NATSTER
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      It looks like that.

    4. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Alli + Sane = 11 + 6 = 17
      Coutinho + Lallana + hit = 10 + 9 - 4 = 15

      So yes I think?

      1. Jafooli
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        And had a 2pts lead going into final GW....

        1. diesel001
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Ben Davies stuffed him

    5. tajulariff
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      he maintain the lead

      1. tajulariff
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        ok didn't see stanislas coming for king for Ben

    6. S.Agueroooooo
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Onviously rasy to judge in hindsight but had he of asked the question on here of those transfers for -4 i think he would of got a resounding no... pretty strange imo

  7. We Will Klopp you

    First sgw century this season with 104, what a way to end the season

    1. Styles_X

      120 for me.

  8. Henryyy

      OR updated?

  9. Calculated Risks
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Ended up highest position since week 1, shame had to play so much catch up but pays to fight it and not give up...52 points in hits in last 7 weeks and 6 straight greens. I call that pretty fun 🙂

  10. TokyoRisingSun
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years

    So who's the overall winner? Trying to do the math in my head but too drunk right now

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Ben Crabtree

      1. Deano
        • 13 Years

        What is the winning prize?

      2. TokyoRisingSun
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Seems mighty tight. That Stanislas sub eh?

    2. Sir Edo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Stanislas had the final say. Unreal!!!!

  11. drughi
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    380 points in the last 3 gameweeks, unreal

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years

      No hits?

      1. drughi
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        no

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 17 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Very nice.
          GW36 was the tricky one.

          1. drughi
            • 16 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            yeah wildcarded and went for some picks who paid off

  12. Nathan20
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    100 points with no chips in play helps me win all 3 of my mini leagues. I am now £700 better off. A good day 🙂

    1. Ziro
      • 11 Years

      Wow, big pay-day!

  13. For Fuchs Sake

  14. Sir Edo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Bought Lovren, but he should have had a red card right? Wenger must have been furious over that desicion?

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Wenger didn't see it.

  15. Raheem's perm
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    291 points in GW37 & 38. Projected OR 5,490. Will be my 5th finish inside top 12.5k. Was 193K after GW23 and nearly giving up on this season! Finished 7th in my cash league, which I'm not too happy about, but still get paid out £81 so not all bad 🙂

    1. Shifty
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      5k rank and 7th?! That's some ML...

      1. Raheem's perm
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Tell me about it! Never been this competitive before! Think top two are in top 1k, 74 teams altogether. £30 entry each so big money at stake too!

  16. Lizard Lips
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    2 hours after FT and still no final ranks 🙁 stomach is in bits

    1. Viper
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I'm pretty sure you'll be safe to be honest. Chill 🙂

      I'm screwed though..

      1. Lizard Lips
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks mate I hope I am. Yeah I think you're definitely out, sorry dude. Great seasons for us both 🙂 Kos owes us an apology!

        1. Viper

          And as an Arsenal fan, he's done our cup hopes no favours!

      Probably because they have 10 matches to process lol

  17. Flynny
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Assuming that exit season, kun is priced around 11m and Jesus around 10m, who will people go for?

    Thanks

    1. Flynny
      • 11 Years

      Next season apols

    2. Lizard Lips
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Probably both!

      1. Flynny
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Gonna be some choice...

        Kane also to consider

        Sanchez if in the league may be categorised as a forward..

        1. The Bandit
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          No chance

    3. Sailboats
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      kun - on pens

    4. Jafooli
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Kane 12.5m minimum, probably 13.0-13.5m

      1. Jafooli
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Ah Kun not Kane.....ignore....

    5. MTPockets
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Jesus. Pretty cold exchange by Pep towards Aguero when he took him off for Nacho after 2G.

    6. John Nerdelbaum
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      time to switch off now flynny

      where did you end up btw?

      1. Flynny
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        There's no switching off john mate....

        Gonna have finished somewhere between 1000 and 1500....well chuffed!

        And you??

    7. I Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      If the price is that close I would probably go Aguero. Seems like Pep warmed to him in the second half of the season.

  18. mattzkn
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Who else joined me in having owned the following flops or failed bandwagons...?

    Flops:

    Redmond
    Rondon x 2
    Townsend
    Gabiadini (after the injury)
    Ihenanacho (during the Aguero red card)
    Tadic
    Oscar

    Failed / bought too late bandwagons:

    Allen
    Phillips
    Capoue
    Negredo
    Gundogan

    Anyone got any other good ones? (luckily despite the best efforts of the above i still finished top 500!)

    1. Hakchak
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Costa biggest bandwagon fail for me especially at the end of the season

      1. Fred54
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        This. So much Fuchs King this.

    2. Shifty
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      That Allen bandwagon was infuriating

      Didn't get on, but so jammy for everyone else

    3. Sailboats
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Cant believe you didn't include the biggest flop in EPL history, John Stones

        That is a very good point, i had him GW1, what a dissapointment he was!

    4. Darklord_bg
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Flops:

      Townsend
      Gabiadini (after the injury)
      Ihenanacho (during the Aguero red card)
      Tadic

      Bandwagons:

      Allen
      Capoue
      Costa
      Siggy

      1. mattzkn
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        i owned costa and siggy for many games. Luckily it was Costa for the first half of the season and Siggy in the middle so they had a great ppg average for me

        1. Darklord_bg
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          For me it was the opposite.

          I got Costa after Kun's red card, then after his return from suspension, then after he scored vs. Hull after China-gate and finally after Southampton haul. He managed to disappoint me every single time.

          With Siggy I got him after his haul vs Palace for the easy run of 5-6 games. He managed 1 assist. Then sold him for the difficult fixtures, he managed 3 goals and 5 assists or sth. Then got him again for blank GW28 and he started blanking again. Then got rid of him after GW34 and voilla - he scored in 35.

    I think the auto subs have cooked my chances of finishing in the top 20k but it is my highest rank of the season. Was 26k just before Christmas before plummeting to 176k and clawing my way back from there. Enjoyable as always.

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      20k for me as well but I was 900k at Christmas.

    2. Sailboats
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Ikr, King not playing cost me my mini league. Rival had Kompany auto sub in and I had Monreal. Lost by 3 points FML

    Could have been 2K finish. Fluffed it big time by swapping Costa and Kane on WC DGW36. Will annoy me for a while.

    Weird thing is I just wanted that elusive 10K finish. Was on 6K but scored 16 below avg. hopefully hang on in there.

    Got 93 this gw, happy with that.

    Since discovering FFS, (Dec/Jan) I went on a strong run to the end of the season.
    Thanks to the community of FFS and the excellent job the hosts do with the in depth scoutcasts. It helped me massively. I ended up topping my work league out of 40 people and coming 2nd in my money league (£60).

    Cheers guys

      Sah'weet!! Its good to know that picking on the general knowledge to make a more understood move
      (or not in some cases) is how we operate here.
      Glad to hear you improved since hanging around here.
      Great news to hear the community provides good moves and ideas. Next season: More, and BETTER.

    whats your points guys? I'm trying to work out the average.
    I did 102 with a carroll of the bench.
    I'm on 8.6k, hoping to stay around that area or creep up to 7k
    as i'm 22 points off the 5k mark. or so says the gargatron
