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.

    2FT and 0.0ITB

    Fabianski
    Cedric - Smalling - Vertonghen
    Sterling - Arnautovic - Eriksen - Salah
    Kane - Jesus - JAyew

    Subs: McCarthy - King - Dummett - Chilwell

    Smalling is likely to be rested so:

    Smalling + Jesus > PVA + Aubameyang

    Sanchez > Sterling free is happening but:

    Tadic > 8.5 for -4?
    Tadic > Mane for -8?

    1. jimmy.floyd
      • 9 Years

      Son maybe

      1. Eden Wizard
        • 7 Years

        Not Son but thanks!

    1. Jesus + Tadic -> Firmino + Zaha/Arnie (7.2m) (-4).
    2. Jesus + Tadic -> Aubameyang + (5.9m) Mili/Gudmundssen/etc? (-4).
    3. Son + Tadic-> Zaha + Arnie/ Ramsey (7.2m) (-4).

  6. Sadio
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Do we think Ayew is worth starting this week?

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

      Yes. At home v Stoke and Swansea absolutely have to score (a lot).

      1. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Just because they have to score doesn't necessarily mean they will.

        It's the main reason they're in this position after 37 games.

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

      Suppose hes on pens so he might score

    3. 49 PL games for Swansea, 8 goals.

  7. GM16
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Ryan
    Mawson Long Lowton
    Salah Son Sterling Pogba Ibe
    Kane(C) Jesus

    DDG Morgan Mariappa Barnes

    Thinking either

    A) Pogba and Barnes ----> J Ayew and Zaha and play 3-4-3 (-4)
    B) Morgan and Barnes ----> J Ayew and TAA and play 4-3-3 (-4)
    C) Barnes ---> J Ayew for no hits

    Not sure whether to go for defence or attack. Think Liverpool likely to get a CS at home but Zaha had two big hauls in last two home games.
    Defending a 17 point lead, rival hasn't got Salah

  8. FPLord
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Any words of Mou on Valencia? Will he miss out again?

  9. Duffy Dunk
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    A) Adrian + Firmino
    or
    B) Karius + Giroud
    ?

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      B

  10. Ten Season Wonder
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Hey people... Is this worth a -8 or nah?

    Smalling > Trent
    Mahrez > any mid upto £4.8m (McArthur, Foden)
    Barnes > Auba

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

    Best 4.7 mid?

    RLC or McArthur or someone else?

    1. Ten Season Wonder
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Foden (if Pep says he is mixing it up a bit)

    2. FPLord
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      McArthur is on a streak, ride the wave

    3. Duffy Dunk
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      They way FPL has trolled this season, since McArthur has done great lately, it will punish the logical buyers and give the points to Loftus.

    4. Carrick

    5. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      I'm on FH and have taken a punt on McTomminay.

  12. FPL_DON
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Pogba to be rested?

    1. Ten Season Wonder
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      I'd love to know this! and Smalling too

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

        Would be ideal haha

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

      I'd say it's likely

  13. LSP
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    A) DDG > Karius
    B) Other

    1 FT, 0.0 ITB

    DDG
    Lowton Smalling Vert
    Son Sane Sterling Salah
    J.Ayew Jesus Kane

    Ryan, Long, King, Morgan

  14. Eden Wizard
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Sick of FPL this year, 3 months off is welcome. Just 1FT left to burn...

  15. beetlejuice
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    DDG + Alli + Vardy > Joel Perreira + Salah + Firmino for -8 ?
    Have Courtois as GK.
    Yes or No?

    1. beetlejuice
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Or better
      Son + DDG > Joel Perreria + Salah for -4 ?

  16. Hardly Athletic
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Which is the better transfer?

    a. Jesus > Aubameyang
    b. Arnautovic > Zaha

    1. FPLord
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      A, but I wouldn't

  17. Bury94
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Did Pep say anything about David Silva?

  18. InvertedWinger
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Need to swap in a 4.4m or under keeper for DDG because I want Salah for Alli.
    Best choice is:
    A) Adrian
    B) Hennessey

  19. The Boys 999
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    best option for triple captain?

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

      Salah on balance of probabilities, but as its last week, very difficult to call. Go with your gut.

  20. Albert_Luque
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Currently tied on points at the top of my ML, with a fair few holes in my team. 1ft, 0.2m in the bank.

    Ryan (DDG)
    Naughton-Alonso-Lowton-Mustafi (Dummett)
    Alli-Sterling-Willian*-Lingard* (Kenedy)
    Kane-Jesus (Barnes*)

    Main issue is that the rival has Salah and I sadly do not. Which of the below would be safer? Any other advice welcome

    A) Willian and Barnes to Zaha and JAyew (-4)
    B) Alonso and Willian to Salah and 4.0 filler (-4)

  21. pjomara
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    20 point lead in ML, need to get rid of DDG to free up funds anyway, rival has Fabianksi. Do I go with
    (a) Fabianski in case of big return e.g. 6 saves + 3 BPS or penalty save, etc.
    (b) Karius
    Personally think Karius has much more likely chance of CS as Swansea need to go on the offensive from start to finish no matter what the score is while not conceding guarantees Liverpool top 4.

    1. pjomara
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Also by getting Fab, it would bring rival down to 2 differentials.

    2. Albert_Luque
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Depends on what your aim is. If its purely the ML, go for Fabianski. If you want to finish as high as possible, and think Karius has better CS chances, I'd go for him.

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

      c) Get Romero
