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.

    So I'm chasing an 18 point lead and my rival is playing TC on Dilva. He also has TAA and KDB.

    In this case only, would it still be crazy to do the following for a -8?

    TAA > Mendy
    KDB > Sterling (C)
    Vardy > Auba

        Yep, that is always the worry. It's a complete guessing game but I would not be surprised if both sold Salah for Sterling and captained him. Although my plan would also be to captain him. The league is close enough that we could have the same captain and I could still gain.

    I am bringing Son in for Martial or Kane in for Jesus. Just have to wait and hope for early team news before I pull the trigger. Going hit free into GW38 as chasing someone who has a 10 point lead.

    He most likely will take a hit or 2 as well with Foden Sterling and KDB his current City 3 vs mine Jesus Sterling Dilva. Just want to finish ahead of him! I have Salah, he doesn't. If he takes 1 or 2 hits, I reckon it is a done deal for me with both of us likely to cap Sterling. He has no chips left either 🙂

      I really want to get rid of Jesus and have enough cash to do him to Kane pending early team news.

      If Jesus starts I am keeping and go with the second plan of Martial to Son.

      Having triple City attack for the last day is a no brainer.

    Do you prefer Greenwood or Wood for 38? Choice doesn't really affect rest of team. Greenwood improves my defence a little but only with player from same team just a little more attacking. So it really comes down to who's more likely to score more between these two.

      No it doesn’t. Looks same as every other without Salah

      Yeah I'm not convinced he's a good pick at all this week.

        But if it's a case of Salah vs Auba, Salah wins imo.

          I think Auba is a safer pick this gw this is why I chose him. I also have 1.2 it so I can do this swap

      it's basically a choice between Salah + cheap forward as Greenwood vs Auba and bench fodder. If you think Arsenal will score well go for it.

        Exactly. But I can't afford Greenwood for 0.1£ so I'm going with Antonio and Ings instead and also have more money to spent on Def and get Pope
