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.

    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Good job all my XI starts - only Bachmann from my bench is starting!

    1. Haalander
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Same here no amartey or shar starting I’ve only the 11

    Wondering if my last minute shift of captain from Kane to KDB went through...

    1. Big_Andy_GAWA
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I always refresh the page

  3. Hughes Your Daddy
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Glad I did Alonso out to Laporte due to rumours like 2mins before deadline, now all 15 players (bench boost) start 🙂

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

      Good Luck

      https://twitter.com/reynoldo81/statu..._O3sfQqJpIrOpQ

      Poor Eze. That’s horrendous to watch.

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

    Wanted to go Salah and Broja out for Wissa and Kane but had to take Livramento out for Sesseggnon to make sure I had cover if both James and Alonso didn't start. Hoping Kane doesn't go mad now

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

    James starting and Alonso could be massive! I would've had Gordon coming in (benched).

  6. La Roja
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    That Trossard punt don’t work then…

    1. Salan
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I nearly bring him in. No this news before deadline.

  7. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Got Toney -4 to play over Alonso, hope it will pay off

  8. PartyTime
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Good luck everyone! Been an interesting & frustrating season altogether.

  9. RogDog_jimmy
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Full 11 for me. Nice.

    Schmeichel
    Robertson, James, Sessegnon
    KDB, Jota, Maddison, Zaha, Kulusevski
    Kane(c), Vardy

    Foster, Alonso, Holgate, Greenwood

    Good luck everyone - hope it’s a fun one!

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

      Good luck.

      The Leicester boyz may get 60 mins to do some damage.

    2. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Good luck my fellow dog, full 11 starting for me too. First time I've gone 5 ATB this season, of course I do it on the day with the highest likely goal count!

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

        Lol. Perfect.

  10. Botman and Robben
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Broja 1st on bench not even is squad.

    1. Kun Tozser
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Won’t be there next season so what’s the point

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

    Surprised that Sterling isn't starting? Nevertheless, praying for KDB haul here.

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

      I thought he was.

    2. Not again Shirley
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Yes would be happy with KDB haul.

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

      Yeah, Mahrez is favoured for all the crunch games.

      Had him on my BB for his penalty miss.

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

        Mahrez is usually great when he starts tbf!

    4. Haalander
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I’ll take a foden one please

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

    Alonso not in squad for his last ever game?

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Strange

    2. CoKane & Zohores
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Alonso won the GW 36 touchline battle but Tuchel won the war.

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

      Odd not in squad at all I admit, but he's looking for a new club & one of few defenders we can actually sell for £££

      Now we're safe in 3rd place I can understand why.

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

      Tuchel gets the last laugh.

    5. pakornk
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      It's not his last game.

      1. Jock Grealish
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        it is

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

        This too. Still under contract!

  13. Numero Bruno
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    A strong bench always needed for the last game, managed to scrape 11 starters, but includes Ramsey, not ideal.

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

      So a strong bench not always needed then

      1. @persecuted_by_mods
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Well it is because Ramsey Vs city isn't ideal

        • Numero Bruno
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Not always needed to field 11 evidently, a strong 11 is a different matter.
          Lots of players missing in the last week for one reason or another.

      2. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        What do you do if both your keepers are not playing?

        1. Numero Bruno
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Ah well, not much you can do, no gk minus scores at least

    2. The Final Boss
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      All eleven starting..Good luck to all.

      1. Haalander
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Good luck mate

    3. FPL flop
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Shame Origi can't get a cameo at the end!

    4. Weeb Kakashi
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Need Jota Mount Barnes to stay quiet!

      1. FlockofSeagulls
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Hush you!

      2. Haalander
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        No dissing jota please work away on mount and barnsey

    5. Herger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Took a hit to bring in Laporte because of the James rumours and now Laporte’s not even going to play for me 🙁

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

        You took a hit to put him on the bench?

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

          I had James in the team

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

            So aren't you happy James starts because you selected him in your 11 instead of Laporte?

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

              No I guess I’m happy he starts - I just wish I hadn’t heard the rumours he wouldn’t so I wouldn’t have taken the hit for someone that’ll now stay on my bench. Ah well, only 4 points I guess

      2. Cruyff's Eleven
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Why not?

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

          James in the team - I heard he wasn’t starting so brought in Laporte for a hit - then I heard James was starting so switched them

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

        Ouch.

        The James rumours I was hearing was that he starts....

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

          Yeah, I heard those after the ‘he won’t start’ ones

      4. Cruyff's Eleven
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Laporte starts

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

          For City, yeah - just not for me

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

        James' pts rooted to my bench this week. Subbed out for Gelhardt on same info

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

          Ouch, sorry mate

    6. FlockofSeagulls
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      My transfers in the last 2 minutes before deadline:
      Alonso > Rudiger
      James > Laporte
      Laporte > James
      Rudiger > Laporte

      FH madness lol.

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

        Probably worse off than if you'd just left it lol

        1. FlockofSeagulls
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          How am I worse off? Lol.

          I started with Alonso and James and ended with James and Laporte.

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

            There's no hits involved are there? I must have mistaken for another post. If no hits, then that's a great outcome.

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

      Noooooooooo

      Origi muscle issue, couldn't make bench 🙁

    8. WhatWouldYourZlatanSay
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Full team. Phew.

    9. bso
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      All starting except Alonso. Could be worse I guess.
      Good luck everyone!

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

        Heavy rotation was Lukaku & Alonso I think. I don’t why they used the wird “heavy”. Almost fell into that trap with James on my bench

        1. Kun Tozser
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Maybe he meant with transfers

    10. dansmusen
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Sterling (c) for a -4 well these last weeks have been a crazy disaster for me

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 16 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        sometimes the moves don't work out but I admire the pick. not all risks work out (That's why they are risks) but to get ahead you have to roll the dice

        1. dansmusen
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Actually not chasing anything due to the fact a blew my ML two weeks ago with a failed BB and 39 points on the bench. Did the BB last week for a wooping 7 points

    11. Rosey Palmer
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      No Alonso on bench means I get Kulu start....the rest play.

    12. Oneman
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Alonso bench means full spurs front 3 for me. Bring it on!

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

      Call it wishful thinking but I feel a Havertz hat trick on the cards today

      1. GENERATION X
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Another 7 without involvement maybe

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

          Hahah noooo! Still have nightmares about that!

    14. tommo-uk-
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Alonso out and my bench of White & Schar both on the bench.

      10 starters…need them all to perform!

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

        Just about managed to get 11 out.

        Elanga and pukki stepping in for me.

    15. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Didnt hear James starting rumours, sigh...

      1. g40steve
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        The ITK Sam mentioned James & Alonso out but later tried to back track!

    16. Shultan
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Rushed my FT & I did Werner to Toney & didn't consider vardy when had the money ITB!
      Annoyed at myself

    17. jason_ni
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Can only hope that not taking -4 for either james or toney comes back to haunt me.

      I'm more than a bit concerned about not having James.

    18. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Im confused, is Reece James starting?

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

        Yes, well he was in the 11 announced.

      2. Jock Grealish
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        lol

      3. Rassi
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        He is.

      4. Holmes
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Yes

      5. Zimo
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Yes

      6. Yozzer
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Why be confused. Have heard of Google yet?

        1. Bubz
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Whats google?
