The 2018/19 season comes to a conclusion this Sunday, with all 20 Premier League clubs kicking off simultaneously at 15:00 BST.

Gameweek 38 represents the final chance to claw back a mini-league deficit or improve an overall rank for those Fantasy managers who are struggling.

For the front-runners amongst us, there may be more ‘defensive’ strategies employed as impressive ranks and mini-league leads are consolidated.

Ahead of this weekend’s later-than-usual deadline, we take a look at the data available to subscribers in our Members’ area and present the eye-catching statistics that could influence Fantasy managers’ decisions and transfers whatever the approach.

We’ve run down the stand-out stats in every position, as well as looking at the strengths and weaknesses of various teams to assess which Fantasy Premier League assets could have a profitable Gameweek 38.

Members can read on for our analysis below.

      I could end up with both though, but as of now Pogba is the one I already have.

      Same 2 keepers as me.

      I'm starting Gunn against Huddersfield. If he doesn't start he's unlikely to come on for a cameo, so I'll get Lloris off the bench anyway.

        Sad thing is it's taken him so long.
        You look at that squad and you say "how do I fit these two guys into my team"
        Sarri has the same issue, total belief in A system but completely inflexible. At least Emery now has a pre-season to try and build round that rather than persisting with flakes like Iwobi, Mhiki & Ozil to an extent.
