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.

    Amount of people taking Fernandes out after one blank is staggering,especially for hits.

    Yes it was an unusually jaded performance last night but has one final massive game game on Sunday which i can see plenty of goals in, it's only gonna take a usual united peno for it to backfire.

    On a free hit myself and see no reason to get rid.

      If he had controlled that through-ball from Rash early on it would be a very different narrative, got into several very dangerous positions early on as well, was very attacking

      He does look absolutely wreckeed tired physicaly obviously tbf - but he's well capable of hauling even at 50% capacity

      I can *kind of* understand why some might take a punt on selling, but with DFK's, Corners, Pens and the #10 role I'd consider him a bit like TAA/KDB in that you can sell, and you may get away with it - but it could oh so easily blow up in your face

      United has been looking jaded for the last 3 games tho, and they only need a draw against Leicester, so will probably focus on defending and not conceding any goals. I don't see a highscoring game tbh.

        I'm in 2 minds. I've got him and will play him but not as captain again.
        He is knackered, BUT ....

        The game will play to United and his strengths. Leicester have to have a go and try to score. That means United can sit back and hit them on the break. He can play his precision passes to the feet of Martial and Rashford, and there will be plenty free kicks around the box - maybe even a penalty.

      On a free hit I see even less reason to keep. Surely you can find an asset around that price point who is a decent differential in a match which truly has the capacity to deliver a load of goals, rather than the cagey affair Leicester vs United is bound to be.

      just a note and there is a big if, if United were to get a pen who´s gonna take it? Bruno took the last one, and they have shared it after coronabreak. And another note, not to play a mind games, but Schmeichel is the goalie. He is not the goalie you want your pen taker against no matter how good you are. And to be fair, he has not looked to get much point elsewhere than from pens.

      United fan here. Fernandes has been 'off' lately, playing deep and looking tired (but that goes for the most United players).

      Leicester need to attack... I assume Solskjaer's plan, knowing the physical condition of his players, is to bet heavily on the counter attacks. Which means it's a big moment for the 'runners' - Greenwood, Martial and Rashford.

      Sure, Bruno may be on penalties and free kicks, but right now he looks the least dangerous out of the attacking four and it's lileky I'll do a > D. Silva.

    Don't you think it's very likely to KdB won't start against Norwich in a game that doesn't mean anything?

    He has played full 90 minutes on Saturday against Arsenal and again Tuesday against Watford. Also not his best games.

    Or do you think Pep will play him to give him minutes before CL continues?

      The way I think.

      If you are on FH and have a chance to replace him for free, do it with the hope that he doesn't show up.
      If you don't have FT, just simply keep him.

    Which option for -4?
    McCarthy
    Doherty, TAA, Azpi
    Salah,Sterling,Martial,Fernandes
    Rashford,Ings,Nketiah

    Patricio,Saka,Taylor,Lascelles. 1 FT 0.0m itb

    A) TAA,Saka >> Pieters,Dilva -4 play 3-5-2
    B) Fernandes,Rashford >> Dilva,Jesus -4.( Would have to play one of Saka or Niketiah )
    C) Taylor,Fernandes >> Mendy,Dilva -4. Would give me an extra bench player who would be fit.

    Any love for Richarlison? Bou going on an all-out attack could concede a bunch on the counter.

    Richarlison over Martial over too risky?

      If Everton were in better form then yes.
      Could work for one week.
