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.

    Seems like every season you need to score an avg of about 66pts a week to get top 100+, mine was about 59 this year

    I know what I'm aiming for next season then...

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Don't scrimp on defence is what I would say to that.

    2. Les Bleus
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Well I aim for the top spot each season but that doesn't mean I'm going to get it lol

      1. Stats Don\'t Lie
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        No, but at least its a decent mark to monitor my progress throughout the season against 🙂

    3. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      I'm close this year. Not sure I have made it though

    4. Ha.
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Each point makes quite a big difference... 62 here

    5. Hakchak
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      65 points I think this year

      1. Stats Don\'t Lie
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Think I saw 2500 mentioned here so about 65/66pts

        1. Hakchak
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          2500 for top 10

      did this last year. worked out needed another 3pts per GW to crack it. Seemed simple. Wasn't and had worst season for 7 years. looking like a 50k finish although 3 weeks ago that seemed a million miles away with a rank of about 280k.

  2. Sess!
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Fair to say gw36 WC paid off. GW ranks of 71k, 33k and 40k last three gws.

    1. Davido989
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Yep it was. 33k, 25k, 71k myself. Just hope for a better TC next season in the earlier DGW.

      1. Sess!
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Yeah whilst done ok with BB last couple years and even AOA this year. Haven't gained much at all with TC and there's been big (obvious) opportunities both seasons. Got to try and time it right next year.

    2. the snazzy viking
      • 9 Years

      100k, 8k, 82k here

      1. Sess!
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Looks like you bossed it last gw.

    3. drughi
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Yeah 29k, 8k and 79k here. From a terrible season to a good in 3 weeks.

      1. Sess!
        • 15 Years

        Quality and same comment as above.

    4. Top 210 Club

      Nice

    5. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      The FFS WC template smashed it IMO:

      Cech - Pickford
      Stephens - Yoshida - Alonso - Monreal - Holgate
      King - Sane - Hazard - Sanchez(c) - Eriksen
      Kane - Jesus - Anichebe

      If you transferred out King this week then it would have been good.

      1. the snazzy viking
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Regret not getting Cech

    1. Ha.

      Adding up everyone's scores within 50 points of you will give you a good idea

          or the ridiculous batting from smith and dhoni in the middle

          1. fedolefan
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 3 months ago

            The latter still playing like he always did except he gets out at the death these days.

      2. The Overthinker

        Yes.

        When your owner is Ambani, nobody needs to beat them... Bank accounts get auto-filled

    2. MTPockets
      9 years, 3 months ago

      'Indians' seems the laziest possible name.

      1. fedolefan
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Not entirely sure it is something they didn't think through. Bit of snobbery going on with that name in my view.

        1. MTPockets
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Just googled & being owned by Indiawin sports may explain it.

              I am not saying its fixed, was trying to be sarcastic, difficult on the text 🙂

    2. XabiAlonso

    4. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Probably head nearer top 5k than top 10k

  12. sminkypinky
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Some poor decisions today. Put JWP in front of Bailly on the bench. Would've gotten over the rare hundred. Tad irritated. Still a very decent 98 and ML in the bag so not really kicking myself.

    1. Johan Queef
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Similar for me. Stupidly didn't really look at my bench and consider the order.

  13. StalkingDwarf

    Going to be a quieter summer fantasy wise. And then next year we have the fun of a Russian World Cup.

  14. Eden ACCOUNT CLOSED

    This isn't gonna be tight on 10k

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        How many points will you finish on? I'm really hoping 2315 will be enough for top 10k for my third season in a row. Was 48k at end of GW35 so didn't think I had a chance really!

        1. Eden ACCOUNT CLOSED
          • 10 Years

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 15 Years
            9 years, 3 months ago

            same score

  15. Litts
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Milner could be an awesome choice next season.

    He should be classed as a defender and if Klopp​ actually buys a left back then he could be a great oop option.

    Even if he continues to be played at LB then at least you'll get the clean sheets in conjunction with the attacking returns.

    Prediction on cost?

    1. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Id say 5.5, possibly 6m

    2. CostaCoffee
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      If defender 5.5

  16. tisza

    when did people find out King wasn't playing? Seems to have been transferred out by a lot of players at last minute.

    1. StalkingDwarf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      He posted on Instagram an hour before deadline.

    2. Sess!
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      About 45 mins before deadline.

    3. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      About 1 hr before the FPL deadline

    4. DJ1000
      • 11 Years

      Sounds like it was half an hour before the transfer deadline. I didn't know myself till 5 mind before 2

      gutted.
      finished team early and had decided to stick with him over benching and bringing in Kompany for Monreal for a hit.
      another lesson learned this season stick with FFS right up until deadlind. about 3rd or 4th time this season lost a player at last minute 🙂
