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.

      Long Wood at least has some comedy value... maybe that'll cheer me up if it ends up the wrong choice.

      no chance.. will be a cheeky high scoring game. chelseas inability to defend will force them to come up with a win some way else. i reckon theyll go out very attacking which will leave space for jimi and whoever else to benefit. high scoring imo.

    Would appreciate some feedback if possible please.

    I'm chasing in my ML and managed to cut my deficit from 50 to 16 points this week.

    I'm going FH, and he's going to go TC.

    My FH means we'll have very different teams and I'm just wondering who to captain?

    My gut says Sterling. Rival does not have Sterling or Kane but has 1FT and 2.8ITB so could bring either in for KdB or Jimenez theoretically.

    Jimi to Kane or Auba (who he's had before) is the likeliest move he'll make IMO, so am I right to stick to my guns and go with Sterling?

    Just hope he doesn't bring him in and TC him!

    Thanks

      Stick to my guns and hopefully the rest of my differentials (hoping we'll only have two or max three of the same players) will pay off.

      It was having Sterling, TAA and Foden as points of difference to him which allowed me to eat into his lead this week. May a similar pattern follow in 38!

    Wish I still had my FH for this one...

    Martinez (Martin)
    Aurier A-Arnold Doherty (Bednarek) (Robinson)
    KDB Salah Mahrez Fernandes Willian
    Jiminez Rashford (Greenwood)

    No idea what to do; I want Sterling, Dilva and Kane somehow but it all invovles a hit that I'm not sure I can afford (3 points off ML).

    A) Willian & Jiminez to Dilva & Ings
    B) Rashford & Willian to Kane & Saka
    C) Rashford & Jiminiez to Jesus & Wood
    D) KDB & Mahrez to Sterling & Foden
    E) KDB & Willian to Sterling & Grealish
    F) 1 transfer - Mahrez to Dilva or Jiminez to Ings, for example

    Currently on A bit they all have their merits!
