So, it all comes down to this.

Gameweek 38 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) is where overall ranks are etched onto your season history page and where mini-leagues are settled.

Hits will be taken, captaincy punts will be gambled on and the occasional chip will be deployed. Or perhaps you’re doing none of these things, sitting tight while all around you opt for the all-or-nothing approach.

Whatever your strategy or moves this week, we’ve got all of our content for the upcoming Gameweek on this page to help with your transfer dilemmas and chip-related conundrums.

Don’t forget that the later-than-usual FPL deadline is at Sunday 22nd May at 14:30 BST, although it might not be a bad idea to have your moves confirmed a little before this cut-off point given the likely spike in traffic that the site will experience.

    1. The Pesci challenge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      It’s Leeds

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      There's some needle between Leeds and Brentford ao there well up for relegating them.

      1. Futureform
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        What's the needle for?

    3. AppleDunk

      4 years, 1 month ago

      Has a thing against Leeds

    4. AutoFill 2021
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

    Schmeichel
    Taa cancelo matip laporte james

      • 15 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I Would.

    2. ran
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

  5. Thanos
    • 4 Years

    1. KDB
    2. Sterling

      salaH->KdB

  7. Tartan Brazilians
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Saka to Foden for a hit? No Man City and chasing. Rival has Saka and Mahrez.

    1. Futureform
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Depends if chasing.

  8. Lord Flashheart
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    who score more:

    A Sessegnon
    B white +4

    1. BobbyDoesNotLook
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      B

      Arsenal could get back to winning and cs since Everton is on beach.

  9. AnfieldLad
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Salah -> X (c)

    A) Mane
    B) Son
    C) KDB

    1. Sailboats
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      B the obvious one

    2. Futureform
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Mand

      1. Futureform
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Mane

    3. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Captain Salah 😉

  10. Futureform
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Who else is planning to have some lunch now and fully expecting to forget to make their moves?

    1. Sailboats
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Nobody tbh

      1. Futureform
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Ha!

    2. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I’d say most are focusing on making their moves fully expecting to miss lunch

      1. Futureform
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Ha. I need to follow this approach I think!

    3. Perthite
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Bit late for lunch & dinner here

      1. Futureform
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah, forgot about the internet is the whole world!

    4. DycheDycheBaby
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Watching the F1 so definitely will forget haha

      1. Futureform
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Ah, yep, will definitely go wrong! Ha!

  11. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Getting close to decision time.

    1. The Mentaculus
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Bowen for you, Maddi for me? Think I'm a bit put off Mount now

      1. TopBinFC
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Why no mount? I have but should I get rid?

  12. Zladan
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Pick the best option:

    A) Salah & Coutinho to Foden/KDB & Maddison

    B) Salah & Weghorst to Foden & Kane

    The 2 incomers would complete the below:

    Schmeichel
    TAA Cancelo James Matip
    Son (c) Mount Kulu
    Nketiah

    1. Arn De Gothia
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      a with kdb

  13. Casualspotted
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Really want James ahead of Sessegnon but unsure will he start

  14. Positive vibes
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    C Son or Mane?

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Son's EO will be very high.

      Mane if chasing!

  15. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Team and bench gtg?

    Schmeichel
    James Cancelo Robertson
    Son (c) Mount Barnes Zaha Foden
    Kane Toney

    Ramsdale Sessegnon Nketiah Mykolenko

    1. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      GTG i prefer Ramsdale over Schmeichel today?

      A. Mahrez to Diaz B. Cash to Alonso C Both for a -4 .If B or C Nketiah becomes 1st sub on a 5-4-1 Ramsdale, TAA, Robo, Cancelo Davies, SON, mahrez, Zaha, Saka, Kane Nketiah (Pickford, Cah, Rich KDh)

      1. dunas_dog
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        I would do both - just hope Alonso plays but you have bench if so

        1. Crunchie
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Cheers

    2. Goooo Rickie
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I would play Sess over Zaha but thats just me.

  16. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Giz a leak, Tommy T!

  17. CoracAld2831
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Still undecided, apologies:

    My team:

    Schmeichel
    Laporte-Cancelo-TAA
    Saka-Salah-Son(c)-Mount(vc)
    Pukki-Nketiah

    Foster-Mateta-Gordon-Cash

    Please pick an option for the above team (managed to narrow it down to two):

    A: Salah -> Mane (Free)
    B: Salah, Pukki -> Maddison, Kane (-4)
    C: Other, please specify?

    Leaning towards B.

      b

  18. Wolfman180
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

  19. PascalCygan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Chasing. Captain?

      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Why?

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

  30. _Gunner
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Barnes or Maddy?

    Leaning somehow towards Barnes

    1. MIGHTY JOE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Maddy imo

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Southampton concede so many chances on the flank Barnes is on. That would sway me for. This week only.
