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. Bad Kompany
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Welback or Gelhardt?

    Would normally go welback but basing off who has something to play for gives Gelhardt

    1. WHUFCSmith23
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Out of the 2, Welbeck. Leeds are awful

  2. artvandelay316
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Probability of Richarlison being rested?

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

      50%

    2. merin
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Would you do Richa -> Toney for a hit?

      1. artvandelay316
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        That's what I'm considering doing if it seems unlikely he starts. Makes the decision to take a hit pretty easy if he doesn't.

      2. artvandelay316
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Also considering Nketiah because if Everton don't play for the win and give other players a run out, Arsenal could pounce - they need the points to try to leapfrog Spurs.

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

          Good shout! Lampard apparently said he will give other players a chance.

          Who will you go for, Toney or Nketiah?

          1. artvandelay316
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            I already have Saka, so will probably do Toney...

      3. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Yes

      4. Dynamic Duos
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Really don't know, thinking of doing this hit

    3. Bonus magnet
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Rested for which big game to follow ?

      1. artvandelay316
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Just rested to give other non-first team players a run out. Lampard has confirmed he will take this approach, but who knows if Richarlison is one of those rested or not...

  3. Whats the Mata?
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Maddison or Mount?

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

      Mount for me. Higher chance that Maddy is benched.

      1. bring_on _the_fantasy
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Why would maddison be benched, last game of the season, top form

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

      Tough one,mount, purely because of rest midweek

    3. Bad Kompany
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Mount. hes a flat track bully

    4. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Mads

  4. Bubbles1985
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Few captain choices today!!

    GL all

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

    Alot saying Salah starts cause he wants Golden Boot? Which would he rather, Golden Boot or start in CL final? Is it even a question

    1. _Ninja_
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      CL final is a week away

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

        Is he isn't 100% fit then he doesn't play

        1. _Ninja_
          • 15 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Could easily play 60 mins today then the final

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

      Both, which is what will happen

  6. M2.0
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Any Laporte news?

    1. We Will Klopp you
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Fit and available, predicted line up has him starting

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

    Not really a leak but all of the guys who were reported as ill for Tottenham have travelled.

    Think Romero is the only player that hasnt travelled

  8. The Philosopher
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Repost:

    Havertz replacement?

    A: Maddison
    B: Bowen

    1. Bad Kompany
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Maddison

    2. Railwayman
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Maddison

    3. Under my Cucurella
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Bowen - has something to play for

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

      if not chasing or protecting, BOWEN for the fun

    5. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Mads

    6. Bonus magnet
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      But Havertz starts so why replacing him

  9. Railwayman
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Who to sell for a hit?

    A) Broja/Weghorst for Toney

    or

    B) Coutinho for Mount* /Diaz/someone else up to 9mil. (I own Foden already)

    I am only 6 points clear in my ML.

    *rival owns Mount

  10. Flynny
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    40 ahead of rival who has kane and son.

    I have neither. Do I just get them both for a - 8 5o secure mini league?

    Scared the one I don't have scores a hattrick!

    1. kennethrhcp
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Take it and be safe

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

      Get the team you think scores the most points. 40 is a big gap. If you have neither it means you have money tied up in good players. That said, I have Son and Kane, for what it’s worth.

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

        I'll defo get son

        But if kane goes big and he captains him I could be in trouble

        Looking and salah vvd and Jesus to son kane and Charlie Taylor - 8

        All 3 of the players I'm removing may not start

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

          pls post ur team

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

      Get them both I think.

    4. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Yup take the hit

    5. Die Hard
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Yez

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

        Cheers.

  11. merin
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Whats the latest on Richarlison? Not starting?

    1. We Will Klopp you
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Nothing to play for so could easily be benched

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

        Entire Everton team needs a break after last week

      2. Flynny
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        I've seen it suggested he could be benched

  12. Nightf0x
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    kepa likely to play today ?

  13. We Will Klopp you
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Bottomed

    A) Saka to Diaz - 4
    B) nketiah to toney - 4
    C) vvd to James - 4 and bench nketiah
    D) Stick

  14. Nightcrawler
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Richarlison or Weghorst

    Who would u sell for Vardy?

    Or sell both and get toney too for another hit?

    1. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Hit for Toney and Vardy.

  15. jesus jesus
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Any replies appreciated -

    Kane and Sessegnon (-8) or Trent and Jesus

    No Son - would captain Kane or Mane

    Struggling with this last decision - stick or twist !?

  16. Pringle
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    What do you prefer?

    A. Havertz
    B. Diaz (-4)

    1. Jam0sh
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      A

    2. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      A

  17. Shifty
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Start 1

    Martinelli
    Coutinho
    Mahrez

    Protecting 16 point lead and all 3 are (crap) differentials.

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

      probably Mahrez

  18. lastmanback
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    4 pt lead in my minileague, is Salah and richarlson to mount and kane worth it -4 to avoid the risk of one or both not starting?

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

      I like those moves, yeah. Huge upside...

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

      Post the rest of your team mate. Easier to comment then.

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

      Probably, take my bus you both start level

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

      I’m also doing salah rich/Watkins to mount an Kane

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

      Do you have any other Liverpool attack?

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

    Is the bench order OK?

    Sanchez
    Cancelo TAA Alonso Schar
    KDB Son(C) Mount Saka
    Toney Richalison

    Pickford Broja Mykolenko Ramsey

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

      Yep

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

      Not sure Broja starts. Ramsey first?

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

    Captain:

    A) Diaz
    B) Kane
    C) Mount

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

      B

    2. Il Capitano
      • 5 Years

      B

  21. Gizzachance
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    A Diaz or
    B mount
    Cheers

    1. Gazza2000
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Mount

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

        Cheers

  22. Legohair
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Still no latest news about Salah??

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

      He's having a little stretch.

  23. tjostolv
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    It feels great an strange that having kdb (c) is a differential this round

  24. corderz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Salah, Richarlison, Weghorst > Mount, Kane, Toney

    For a minus 8?

    1. Peps Pups
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      No, -4 is even a bit much on last day

    2. tokara
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      YES those r risky players

    3. Steiger
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Those moves look good, even for a -8.

    4. The Sociologist
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      High risk high reward. It’s the last day of the season, have a little fun!

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

        My thoughts exactly. In for a penny and all that!

  25. Patio Kev
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Can’t believe Vardy is being so overlooked for Captaincy today.

    Another 9-0 anybody against an absolutely woeful Soton side ?

  26. tryf88
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Sell zaha for Mount or Madd
    Plus
    Richarlison for Toney?
    For -4

    Have Mateta, chasing ML

    2. WhatWouldYourZlatanSay
      • 10 Years

      Do it. Are you playing 541? Consider taking a hit too.

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

        yea playing 451, got 3.4 ITB but would mean taking a hit.. something like Dennis to Wilson.. but my rival is only 11 pts so nott sure about taking a hit

  28. Pep's Money Laundry
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    I've got a fairly decent lead of 36 points, my rival owns Son, I don't own Son. We both own Salah. I'm guessing he will move Salah to Mane and captain him.

    I'm in full blocking mode this week, so which move do I do?

    A. Salah to Son
    B. Salah to Mane
    C. Harvertz & Foden to Son & fodder (-4, start pukki)

    1. Gazza2000
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      A

    2. Peps Pups
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      SON!

    3. WHUFCSmith23
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Son is an outstanding captaincy pick this pick. Unless you are wanting to jump rank and bet against the house why take a risk.

      Son is in form, playing the worst team in the league and playing for a team that has to win.

  29. Cheshire Duck
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Schmeichel
    White - TAA - James - Emerson Royal
    Son - Mount - Saka - Barnes
    Kane - Nketiah
    Bench : Dubravka - Holgate - Countinho- Weghorst

    1 Ft, 4 ITB

    No sure about James, Coutinho and Barnes

    Should I :
    A) Coutinho > Bowen (bench barnes)
    B) Coutinho > Eriksen
    C) Coutinho + Barnes > Bowen + Eriksen

    And hope James plays

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I don't like any of those options tbf

    2. Gazza2000
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Weghorst to Toney

    3. Yippeekiyay Mertersacker
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      B

  30. Peps Pups
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Leading ML by 7 points. Rival has richarlison, and will likely play him. Iv already done Ings to Kane. Worth a hit for Richarlison to Toney considering 50% of Richarl not even starting?
