There is team news from two more Premier League managers to bring you ahead of Gameweek 38.

Rubem Amorim and Ange Postecoglou faced the media on Saturday, with the headline updates from their press conferences below.

For the injury news from the other 18 top-flight clubs, check out this article.

TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR

Son Heung-min (foot) and Cristian Romero (toe) will miss Gameweek 38, while Yves Bissouma (knock) is “50/50”.

Dejan Kulusevski (knee), Timo Werner (hamstring), James Maddison (knee), Lucas Bergvall (ankle) and Radu Dragusin (knee) also remain out.

“There will be a couple of absences. Romero has been struggling with his toe for quite a while, so we’ll leave him out and probably Sonny, as well, because his foot has still not healed. They’ve both made a massive effort to get to the final. Bissouma got a knock in the game, so he’s kind of 50/50 at the moment. The rest of them, physically anyway, are ok.” – Ange Postecoglou

Despite the Lilywhites letting their hair down over the last few days, Ange Postecoglou insists they’ll be in good shape on Sunday.

“I really feel you need to celebrate your achievements properly and that was kind of my message to the boys.

“It’s important to make the experience as memorable as possible so that when I ask them to climb the mountain again, there’s a reason for it. It’s fair to say they took my words literally and certainly enjoyed themselves over the last couple of days!

“The boys are all good, we’ll be good tomorrow.” – Ange Postecoglou

MANCHESTER UNITED

Jonny Evans (unknown), Diogo Dalot (calf), Leny Yoro (foot) and, ahead of schedule, Joshua Zirkzee (hamstring) were all back in the United squad for Wednesday’s defeat in Bilbao.

That left only two players on the injury list.

Lisandro Martinez (knee) is definitely out for what remains of 2024/25, while Matthijs de Ligt (knee) was only doing individual training as of midweek.

There are no fresh disclosed injuries in the press conference but Ruben Amorim said to MUTV that he will “be careful” with some players, such as Yoro, on the final day.

 “No, there are some situations, like Leny. We have to be careful. We had that in the last [home] game before the final, I think it was West Ham, on his foot. 

“We’re going to take care of some situations so as not to compromise next season. The rest, we want to win the game so we are going to put a squad together.” – Ruben Amorim

    You are chasing! Which players are worth -4 even if you have to go crazy?

    1. Nomar
      • 16 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      I guess any player is worth -4 today because after tomorrow it’s not going to matter.

  2. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    If Trippier wont start, play:

    1. Milenkovic for CS odds
    2. Munoz for attacking return

    Which one is more probable?

    1. Nomar
      • 16 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Probably Munoz getting an tracking return is more likely than a Forest cleanie.

    2. One for All
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      2

    3. Atimis
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Tempted by both at the same time lol, won’t Forrest game end up like 0:0?

      1. No Kane No Gain
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 3 months ago

        I can see Chelsea winning late on if it’s 0-0 as Forrest know they have to win for champions league to be possible

        1. Atimis
          • 9 Years
          1 year, 3 months ago

          Reckon the one I start will blank anyway

  3. gooberman

    If there is any justice, Sheff Utd will win this given they finished 14pts ahead of Sunderland. It should just be the top 3. None of this play off nonsense.

    1. Nomar
      • 16 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      I want Sunderland to win.

    2. DeSelby
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      If there is any justice Sheff Utd will lose given their manager berated and belittled an official for eating a sandwich.

    3. Goodfeathers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      I love the play offs. The Championship play off final is arguably the biggest game of the season.

      1. Merlin the Wraith
        • 10 Years
        1 year, 3 months ago

        Worth 2.5x what Spurs get for getting Champions League. Madness!

  4. One for All
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Any chance we will get any early news tomorrow if Isak is starting?

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      We don't tend to get reliable Newcastle leaks

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      There's a few reliable ones

      This guy is but he's occasional

      1. One for All
        • 8 Years

        Thanks

  5. Skout
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Chances of leaks before deadline tomorrow? In particular Arsenal..

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Arsenal a little less likely perhaps

      Man City, Liverpool and Newcastle United may be more likely

  6. indiealexx
    • 1 Year
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Trying to protect rank at 4.2k. Is Marmoush - Evanlison worth a -4?

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      No

  7. OutofShorts
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Defending 30 points w 2 free transfers. Main differential are Bowen/Wissa to my De Bruyne/Marmoush.
    Should I simply cover those 2 or chase rank w Evanilson? Am 13K and would love ton 10.

    1. Eightball
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Evanilson is better than Wissa this week.

      1. tokara
        • 12 Years
        1 year, 3 months ago

        Not player but is Bournemouth in the mood to play

        1. Eightball
          • 5 Years
          1 year, 3 months ago

          Well no I don't think he is a better player in general but Bournemouth have a better fixture imo. I think I would prefer him this week personally. Caveat, I have both haha.

    2. One for All
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Cover Wissa and Bowen should score more I reckon .

      1. OutofShorts
        • 10 Years
        1 year, 3 months ago

        Thanks reckon I’ll cover and hope Brentford score a few

        1. tricpic
          • 16 Years
          1 year, 3 months ago

          Go with Bowen and Evanilson compromise

        2. One for All
          • 8 Years
          1 year, 3 months ago

          Good luck I'm on top of my ml too.

  8. sirmorbach
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    A. Isak to Evanílson
    B. Muñoz to Bradley or Kiwior, keep Isak

    1. Goodfeathers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      A, although I’d say it’s worth waiting for early team news if you can. If Isak starts then I think I’ll keep.

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Don't understand the Bradley pick

  9. Kinder Mbueno
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    If you can't get to Saka (or dint want him) who's your next choice from arsenal attack?

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Martinelli

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Rice

      Trossard if he's starting

    3. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Ode

  10. Ruinenlust
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Saka or Bowen?

    1. Eightball
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Bowen.

    2. Haa-lala-land
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      SAKA

      1. Haa-lala-land
        • 5 Years
        1 year, 2 months ago

        I meant BoWen

  11. Skout
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Better option this week, Evanilson or Isak (if we get a leak he starts)

  12. Ohh1454
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Is Welbeck the best attacking option from Brighton ? Looking for high ceiling differential (C)

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Yes

    2. Goodfeathers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Yes I’d say so.

    3. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Yes, him or Mitoma I would say
      I'm also considering Welbeck C.

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      He will do well wherever he ends up. Like all the players who leave Man U.

      1. x.jim.x
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 3 months ago

        Sancho is flying

        1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
          • 9 Years
          1 year, 3 months ago

          Oops, most players, not all. My bad.

    2. Ginkapo FPL
      • 15 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Of course, Garnacho is better than a relegation club

      1. x.jim.x
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 3 months ago

        I know you’re “bantering” but is he?

        1. Ginkapo FPL
          • 15 Years
          1 year, 3 months ago

          Yeah, mid table for sure. I put him alongside McNeil

          1. x.jim.x
            • 11 Years
            1 year, 3 months ago

            McNeil has 2 more goal involvements in half the appearances hahaha

    3. FFS ManU
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      FFS!

  13. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Everyone's got Mbeumo, so is it nuts to swap him for Saka for a hit? I guess it is, but it sounds fun

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      You're taking a hit to remove a nailed 90 mins, pen taker and on other set pieces for a hit which needs to pay off in 1GW?

      1. Tonyawesome69
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 3 months ago

        On other set pieces which needs to pay off in 1GW?*

      2. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
        • 9 Years
        1 year, 3 months ago

        Sounds ridiculous, right

    2. Conners
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Mbeumo is my captain this week.

      There's every chance Saka gets hooked early given they have nothing to play for, with the young/ fringe players getting some minutes like we've seen in previous seasons.

      1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
        • 9 Years
        1 year, 3 months ago

        Yeah, good points. I'll keep him. Cheers mate.

  14. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 14 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Kdb to Bowen for free.
    Yes or no.
    Have Mamoush and Gvardiol.

    1. FFS ManU
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Yes, definitely imo.

  15. Eightball
    • 5 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Raya
    Gvardiol Kiwior Livramento (Munoz, Williams)
    Salah Mbeumo KDB Bowen Eze
    Wissa Evanilson (Cunha)
    AM: Pep

    I'm 15 points off top10k so thinking of going Cunha to Welbeck and captian probably on Bowen. I think going a little bit differential along with AM gives me a slight chance at cracking 10k.

    Start one:
    A) Eze
    B) KDB

    Something in my head says to start A but B is probably the sensible option assuming he actually starts (not sure I will be around for the deadline)

  16. RogueBlood
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    3.8itb 2ft what changes would you suggest?

    Raya
    Sessegnon, Munoz, Gvardiol
    Salah, Mbuemo, Rogers, Bowen
    Isak, Marmoush, Wissa

    Verb, Konsa, Kilman, Rashford

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Isak Rashford -> Welbeck Saka
      Play Konsa over Sess

    2. Atimis
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Konsa over Sess

    3. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Start Konsa over Sessegnon.

  17. Captain Mal
    • 2 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Counter attacking masterclass by Campbell and Hamer.

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Decent goal

  18. FPL Virgin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Going to stick all these names in a random wheel generator tomorrow and triple captain whoever it says.

    Are there any other differential punts I've missed?

    Kudus
    Barnes
    Kluivert
    Watkins
    Diaz
    Gakpo
    Gordon
    Bowen
    Evanilson
    Gruda
    Tavernier
    Welbeck
    Szoboszlai
    Wissa
    Mbeumo
    Sarr

    1. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Not interested in Saka. Would need a hit.

    2. BazingtoN
      • 1 Year
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Gibbs-White

    3. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Schade
      Mitoma

    4. Rosey Palmer
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Martinelli

    5. The 12th Man
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      You missed out Doucoure and McNeil.

  19. royals forever
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 17 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Your help is appreciated please for my final dilemma of the season

    Which two would you play from

    Robertson (CPL)
    Sarr (liv)
    Neto (for)

    Any ideas would be welcomed

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Sarr Neto

  20. AnfieldLad
    • 12 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    KDB -> Saka (-4)

    Y / n ?

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      No

  21. Kinder Mbueno
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Anyone worth taking out for an Arsenal midfielder?
    Salah, Kdb, Bowen, Mbuemo, Murphy

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      KDB or Murphy

    2. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Murphy

  22. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Sunderland mucking it up

    Sheffield United looking like they are going up

    2 nil VAR review

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      1 nil I suspect

  23. Kaneyonero
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Trossard and Evanilson for Elanga and Cunha?

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      No guarantee Trossard starts

  24. DeSelby
    • 4 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Haha. VAR (and the referee) so, so bad. And I'm rooting for Sunderland.

    In no world was that guy who was offside blocking the line of sight of the keeper. Sheesh.

  25. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    This good to go or anything worth a hit?

    Pope
    Gvardiol Muñoz RAN
    Palmer KDB Mbeumo Eze
    Haaland Watkins Welbeck(C)

    Murphy Mykolenko Robinson

    2.5ITB

  26. theshazly
    • 3 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Sarr to Bowen (c)

    Or

    Isak to Evanilson (c)

    Or

    Isak to Welbeck (c)

    ?!

  27. Danstoke82
    • 12 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Which one to do?

    A) Wood to Evanilson
    B) Isak to Evanilson

    1FT. Thanks in advance!

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Who is the bench cover for Isak no-show?

      1. Danstoke82
        • 12 Years
        1 year, 3 months ago

        One of Livramento, Sarr, Munoz

        1. Tonyawesome69
          • 7 Years
          1 year, 3 months ago

          Probably gamble on keeping Isak and sell Wood. Which defenders are you starting? Prefer to start Livramento this GW

          1. Danstoke82
            • 12 Years
            1 year, 3 months ago

            May sell Wood then and hope on Isak.

            I can’t decide on defender. Currently starting Kiwior, Gvardiol and Wan Bissaka.

            Who would you drop out of those for Livramento?

  28. Mini League Fatigue
    • 13 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    TLDR version: Is Bowen worth a hit ?

    Full version: am in my mini league cup final with £££ on the table

    Rival has Bowen, Marmoush & Dias as differentials - Bowen is the one I fear the most (my differentials to cover the latter two are Watkins & Kiwior + Pep AM)

    The only way to get Bowen is to take a hit …

    A) is it worth it? if yes as second sub do I;

    1) sacrifice Isak for Evanilson (play Murphy, Rogers sub)
    2) sacrifice Murphy for Nwaneri (4.5 budget) (play Isak, Rogers sub)
    3) sacrifice Rogers for Minteh (5.1 budget) (play Isak, Murphy sub)
    4) Tripps to AWB (Play Isak & Murphy, Rogers & AWB sub)

    ????

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      A1, play Rogers, Murphy Sub

      1. Mini League Fatigue
        • 13 Years
        1 year, 3 months ago

        Cheers

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      I think selling Isak makes most sense on what we know now.

  29. mikeblue97
    • 16 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    A) Raya & Kiwior
    Or
    B) Martinez & Kiwior

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Stack double Arsenal defence
