After two months of ties, we can now reveal who has made it through to the final of our Fantasy Premier League Cup, which takes place over Gameweek 38.

An impressive score of 86 points was more than enough for 2EyedTurk to see off PetesBlair’s tally of 48 and book his place in the final.

Ranked in 20,336th place, he will be up against Boxing Can Girouds, who is 9,486 places above him in the overall standings and had a far tougher semi-final clash, beating Batmaniac by a slender 82-79 margin.

Each of our finalists currently has eight differentials for the season finale.

Both own Manchester United stopper David De Gea, Manchester City duo Gabriel Jesus and Raheem Sterling, Chelsea’s Marcus Alonso, Spurs striker Harry Kane and budget defenders Matt Lowton of Burnley and Crystal Palace’s James Tomkins.

In midfield 2Eyed Turk can call on Manchester City winger Leroy Sane, Spurs midfielder Dele Alli, Manchester United’s Jesse Lingard and Stoke’s Joe Allen.

Whereas Boxing Can Girouds is at a slight disadvantage in the centre of the park as Newcastle midfielder Kenedy is ineligible to face parent club Chelsea. However, he can turn to West Ham’s Marko Arnautovic, Burnley set-piece specialist Johann Gudmundsson and Paul Pogba, of Manchester United.

Boxing Can Girouds’ striker differential of Jamie Vardy has good recent form, having found the net against Arsenal midweek. However, a trip to Spurs looks tough for the Foxes’ striker. In contrast, 2Eyed Turk’s selection of Jordan Ayew has the stronger fixture, at home to Stoke, but poor form, having failed to score in each of his last four run-outs.

De Gea looks set to earn a rest in United’s final day encounter with Watford at Old Trafford, which leaves Boxing Can Girouds relying on Brighton’s Mat Ryan to earn points away to Liverpool. Meanwhile, 2Eyed Turk will be hoping that Burnley’s Nick Pope, who hosts Bournemouth, can keep his spot ahead of Tom Heaton for the final fixture.

Elsewhere in the selection, 2EyedTurk will rely on Spurs full-back Ben Davies to avoid rotation, while Boxing Can Girouds will be optimistic of a start for Manchester City centre-back Nicolas Otamendi, who was rested midweek.

The winner receives a £150 Amazon voucher, while the runner-up earns a £100 Amazon voucher.

The contest is not quite yet over for Petes Blair and Batmaniac, who go head to head in Gameweek 38’s third place play-off. The winner of this encounter wins a £50 Amazon voucher.

    1. Slitherene
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Get Salah and Zaha in!

  2. FPL_DON
    • 11 Years

    Sterling to be dropped?

    1. Teddy Brewski
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Very unlikely. Rested last game

    If 1 point behind ML leader who will captain Salah,

    Would you captain Kane or Salah?

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      salah

    2. ☻ Jon Snow ☻
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Salah, you could gain 2 point more from someone else?

    3. Rinseboy
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      trouble is rest of team its:

      Zaha Vardy and Eriksen (him) vs
      Ramsey Arnie and Son

      Already think he has the better plays?

      1. Slitherene
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Son out, Zaha in.

        1. Slitherene
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          Could be a big differential for him, posied to score. Try to reduce the gap.

          1. Slitherene
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 7 months ago

            Poised*

    Trailing in cash ML by 10 points.

    Verto. Smalling. Lawton. Morgan. (Chilwell)

    Him:
    Lloris.Ryan
    Cedric. Smelling. Naughton. Morgan. Lawton
    Allí. Willian. Arnie. Lingard. Carroll
    Jesus. Kane. Hardy

    Thinking: DDG + Son = Karius + Mane? (-4)
    He has to take a -4 to get Salah in

    What say?

    1. Slitherene
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Son and Lowton out for Zaha and Moses, if possible.

  10. dbeck

    who scores more:

    A) Salah and RLC -4

  11. Jinswick
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years

    14 points behind ML leader who will captain Salah - best move here?

    A) Willian -> Zaha
    B) Barnes -> J Ayew
    C) Willian & Barnes -> Zaha & J Ayew (-4)
    D) Willian & Vardy -> Salah(c) & j Ayew (-4)

    2. Mayor of Flair

        It will be a walk in the park.

  18. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Are people worried Jesus might not start?

    1. Henryyy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      More worried about Son

      1. Bubz
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Yeah well Im debating shipping Son and Jesus for Salah and Firmino

        1. Henryyy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          Im considering Son to Mane.

          Jesus better away mate, i would prob hold

          1. Bubz
            • 12 Years
            7 years, 7 months ago

            Just not sure if he will start...

    2. Rik Waller
      • 8 Years

      I'm always worried about City lineups

  19. Stimps
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Chasing 18 points in 2nd, need 2 good differentials, any suggestions?

    Ryan
    Alonso Tarkowski Mawson
    Son Alli Sterling Arnie Gross
    Kane Jesus

    DDG Barnes Long Morgan

    A) Jesus, Gross -> Firmino, Zaha
    B) Kane, Son -> Mane, Auba (c)
    C) Jesus, Son -> Auba (c), Zaha
    D) Other suggestion?

    1. DAZZ
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Rashford could be a good option. Mourinho confirmed he will start. Jesus > Rashford i have done. Contemplating Wilian > Martial aswell.

      They have a point to prove, and with the FA Cup final on the horizon..

  20. Transferred Out
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Thoughts on Son to Mane (c) for a cheeky differential inside the top 5k, worth the risk or just back Salah?

  21. TeddiPonza
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years

    Best sub 6,5m midfielder and sub 6,5m forwards for this weekend? Need replacements for Barnes and Lingard.

    Thanks

  22. Jet5605

    Hey guys, chasing a 14 point lead. Leader has Salah but neither Kane nor Sterling and is unlikely to bring in either based on his current squad and money ITB.

    Should I go big and take a -4 hit and do Willian & Jesus > Zaha and Kane (c) or avoid the hit and do GroB > Zaha and put the armband on Sterling?

    DDG
    Alonso - Lowton - Naughton - Long
    Eriksen - Son - Sterling - Willian
    Jesus - Vardy

    Ryan - GroB - Morgan - Barnes

    1. Mayor of Flair
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      No, going big rarely works out

  23. Mayor of Flair
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Hope everyone has a good bench for this GW

  24. Lone Wolf FPL
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Carrick punt? Mou said he will start so maybe he will get a pen or team will try to pass him to score.
    Have 4.7 and thinking him or RLC / McArthur?

    1. Mayor of Flair
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Hell of a punt, if they keep passing it to him it's a certain 0 - 0

  25. CRO KLOPP
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Son and Lingard to Arnie and Zaha for -4?
    Y or N?

    1. fr3d
      • 8 Years

      Looks good
