The 2016/17 season comes to a close this afternoon, with all 10 Gameweek 38 matches getting underway at 3pm.

We’re spoilt for choice in terms of armband options for the final round of fixtures, with the top three players in this week’s Captain Poll – Alexis Sanchez, Harry Kane and Philippe Coutinho – are serving up their highest hauls of the season in Gameweek 37.

Kane’s four-goal blitz at the King Power takes him two ahead of his nearest challenger Romelu Lukaku for the Golden Boot, while Sanchez welcomes Everton on the back of three successive double-figure tallies.

Throw in champions Chelsea at home to relegated Sunderland (Eden Hazard and Diego Costa both start) and Man City’s trip to a decimated Watford defence and it’s fair to say that goals look very much on Sunday’s agenda.

So sit back and enjoy the frantic next couple of hours’ action – it won’t be until August 12 before domestic action comes back our way again.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    Ive gone from 594,000 in GW35 to 170,000. Not the season I would have hoped for but not too bad for somebody who doesn't spend too much time on the game.

    1. the snazzy viking
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      582k in GW35 to 131k

    2. Point-one short
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Unfortunate way of phrasing it! 😉

  2. Mickey Tyrion™
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    OR 6,400

    Didn't own Ibra for his high ownership hauls at the start of season and never owned Alonso..

    Oh, what could've been...

  3. Pigsinblankets
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    62,877 OR, which wasn't the improvement on last year's 17k I was after, but considering I was hovering around 500k I'll take it! Thanks all for the advice throughout, see you all in 87 days' time

    1560 it is
    Thanks ffs

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Good stuff 🙂

  5. Lizard Lips
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 6 months ago

    Alonso and Kane on 99% of our teamsheets GW1 next season!

    1. Viper
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Alonso 7.5

      Kane - 13

      Thats what I'd guess 😯

      1. Lizard Lips
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah, worth every penny! Can't wait 🙂

    2. Arn De Gothia
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Yes, plus Jesus

    3. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      Aye! Especially Harry

    4. UshFPL
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      I'm not so sure about Kane, 2 goals in his first 5 games this season. I think he's usually a slow starter aswell isn't he?

      1. Ha.
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        I mean, that's still not awful...

        1. UshFPL
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 6 months ago

          Probably not worth 13 though is it? Aguero and Ibra started much better this season if I remember correctly.

        Heaton in goal aswell for me. Siggy/King depending on price.

    2011/12 - 19,987
    2012/13 - 3,963

    2014/15 - 5,438
    2015/16 - 17,017

      1. Viper
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Cheers Bubz. Really wanted that 3 digit rank

    2. Shifty
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      It seems like the season after a four digit rank you get a rank x4 or so.

      Next season 5k confirmed

    3. MTPockets
        8 years, 6 months ago

        Same-ish pattern...

          Great job. I was in the same boat with Kos but there was lots of goal pie to make up for it, and 4129 OR will do nicely for me. Thanks for your advice along the way.

          1. RAFA THE GAFFA
            • 9 Years

        A thank you to the FFS community.

        Started GW29 with a rank of 300k and just finished with an OR of 44k. My best season by far. Finished GW38 with a gameweek rank of 3,316 also my best ever.

        I did this without Sanchez also so if I just templated what could have been, I don't really know.

        Either way, none of this would have been accomplished without the help from the community here, the scouts and the scoutcasts. The regular posters. Particular shout out to TM for the individual advice given out to so many members and casuals alike all season.

        Thanks from the community

          After a great start, once hitting 1k in the first weeks, tumbled down a bit due to bad decisions, finished on a humble 88k. Rocky but satisfied.

              I think he must have given up after last week, he didn't change his team at all and left Gabbi in it. He is human.

            It's taken 5 years but I've finally ended up with a green arrow on GW38. Maybe next season I'll actually make it past the first round of the cup!

            From 230k to 71k in 3 weeks. It was my first 'proper' season. Couldn't have been possible without you guys. Thanks everyone! Will be back stronger next season!

          • FPL Pillars
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 6 months ago

            17k rank, best ever for me. Only second full season. Finished 300k last year. I hope to come in top 10k next year. Thanks for all help, without this community would likely be lower 🙂 - I used to takes hits like crazy but now I'm hit adverse and looks like that's the way to go to improve rank and make transfers later on.

            Extremely harsh on Ogie missing out on first in Ireland with a score of 97. Brilliant season nonetheless. Well done!

              I highly doubt Alexis will still be at Arsenal next season
