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.

    The Foden case really makes me scratch my hand

    in one hand, I can sim him get a mega haul if he starts. On the other, it looks already written that Dilva will be subbed off and gets a round of applause from his team mates and make way for Foden as a symbol.

    Really don't know what to do with Phil. Are you guys keeping?

      Honestly those choices are so difficult it’s probably why a lack of replies

      Not B as I think Mahrez to DSilva is too sideways (unless we get team news). Mane could go huge vs Newcastle too

    DSilva has 30 points in the last 2 home games, this means he seals the 2nd man city slot alongside Sterling in my team.

    In the interest of balance, as I have often complained about the premier League organisation in the past, but credit to them for getting the season over the line relatively drama free. The logistics must have been a nightmare for something that came to them with no playbook so kudos to the heads that kept it going and all of us entertained to some degree!!
