Holly from Fantasy Football Community looks at some of the key numbers from our Members Area over the last four Gameweeks.

The final Gameweek of the season is here and I’m taking a look at the underlying statistics from the last four Gameweeks, in a bid to sort out those transfer and Free Hit dilemmas going into Gameweek 38.

Note that some players will have seen more minutes than others over this period.

Holly, the founder of FPL Community, has two top 10k finishes in five FPL seasons, is a regular guest on the FPL Show and recent addition to the Scoutcast line-up.

    Last Man Standing Final Standings

    https://prnt.sc/tn8xgp

    https://fantasy.premierleague.com/entry/2988991/history

    Eduardo Cruz - https://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/profiles/eduardo-cruz/ became the 7th winner of Last Man Standing after playing his bench boost. The chip gained him the final winning margin of 29 (Martínez 2, Greenwood 9, Pieters 12, K.Long 6). He could have tied and still won on overall rank.

    Congratulations to the other 3 finalists, SweetBoi, Old School and Blasting Wand for great runs in the competition.

    Eduardo wins FFS membership for a season which Geoff/FFS offered as a prize. He beat 5107 others and sits at 8,289th overall.

    A special thanks goes to Ragabolly for his help during the season removing teams and providing a live LMS leaderboard - https://www.livefpl.net/LMS so everyone could see the top 20 and the elimination zone.

    Thank you to all who entered and participated in LMS this season.

    Hope to see you for the 8th installment next season, all things being equal.

          In theory Traore sounds perfect, but then I looked at his returns and his last 6 are 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 2. Any idea why he's not getting the points?

        True, I just thought they would have more insight, and I know we have some here.

        Which ones do you think will do the best? Ideally I'm looking for a 6.8 or less mid/fwd as a sort of enabler on FH. Keeping Doherty is also an option.

    Manage to sour what turned out to be a good GW with awful decision making. Did Giroud > Rashford (c) who was my lowest scoring player and only one of two who blanked. I've also now only got 1ft and have blocked myself from getting Kane/Auba/Salah/Son/Vardy basically anyone desirable without taking a hit. Contemplating Azpi > Aurier as my final transfer. Exciting stuff.

      Ha. I'm in a similar situation. I capt Rashford, but still managed to put up 72 pts. That transfer is lack luster. What does the rest of your team look like?

        Pope (McCarthy)
        TAA, Azpi, Digne, (Boly, Fernandez)
        Sterling(c), KDB, Bruno, D.Silva, Pulisic
        Ings, Greenwood, (Rashford)

        0.4 itb. Would like to get sell one of the United boys ideally. Maybe Bruno > Antonio or Rash > Deeney if I'm feeling particularly punty. Not massively into either of those moves if i'm being honest

          I agree. How about Pulisic to Antonio? WOL have only conceded four goals since GW31.

      I had a great week 91 (-4) but also made 2 horrendous transfers on tilt from a bad result in the last 2 gameweeks

      Foden (8) & Pulisic (9) -> Silva (0) & McNeil (3)

      Got to cut that kind of move out next year

    Have I nailed my FH team?

    Martinez
    TAA - Pieters - Long
    Salah - KdB - Sterling - Dilva - Son
    Greenwood - Kane

    Is Son and Kane too much? Also KdB over Mahrez?

    Working on my FH team...

    Martinez + TAA or Pope + Robertson?

    Pulisic + Ings or Richarlison + Wood?

    Apart from those I have Pieters, Brantwaithe, DSilva, Mahrez, Sterling, Salah and Kane more or less locked in.
