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.

    Play Morgan or bring in PVA for a hit ? I reckon he could return the hit and then some although Rondon could spoil the party.

  11. aborg

    7 years, 7 months ago

    Guys I really need some help here or I'm afraid i'm going to lose my £200 cash prize in my ML.
    My rival managed to claw back 50 points off me thanks to his BB and I am now just 2 points ahead of him. He still has TC chip to play though.

    What should I do now with my current team and what hits (if any) should I take to minimize my risk of failing?

    DeGea
    Robertson, Lowton, Vertonghen
    Son, Pogba, Salah, Sterling
    Kane, Jesus, Barnes

    Bench: Ryan(GK), Smalling, Chilwell, Carroll.
    0.2m ITB

    Rival has Arnaoutovic and Aubamayeng that I fear most and still TC to play for!
    I was thinking to captain Salah especially since he does not have him.

    Please help me guys

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

      Defo captain Salah. Can you get Arni for Pogba?

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

        Yes I think I will get Arnie for a hit. Thanks

    2. Sedemuda
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Captain Salah then obviously.
      Don't think it needs a hit unless you want to replace Ryan as DDG isn't playing.

    3. Dr Van Nostrand
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      We know de Gea and Smalling won't play and Pogba should be dumped too. I'd captain Salah for sure and do:
      de Gea - Romero
      Pogba - Arnie
      Barnes - Rashford

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

        Thanks for your tips. Appreciated.

  12. Dele
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Will Adrian start this GW?

    Or will Hart be given one last go...

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

    Wjanssdilum and wellbexk as the diff

  14. Jigger & Pony
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Keep Smalling (Dummett off the bench) or get Robertson / PvA for a hit?

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

      PvA for a hit

  15. Can’t beat em so&hell…
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Who would you transfer out first...

    a) Van Der Horn
    b) Bednarek

    To play alongside Verts and a Newcastle defender

  16. thomashl
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    A) Get Zaha (for whom?)
    B) Take a hit for Kane/Auba

    Ryan
    Smalling Lowton Alonso
    Pogba Sterling Arnie Son Salah
    Vardy Jesus

    0 itb.

    1. Sedemuda
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Pogba

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

    Expecting more from Auba who did great but played 2 full matches in a week, or Firmino?

    1. Jigger & Pony
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Auba

  18. Boris Bodega
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Anyone else notice that Stuart Broad won GW37? Or I am, as usual, the last to know?

    1. Je suis le chat
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Just noticed on BBC website. I feel an idiot getting rid of Aub for one.

    2. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Great PR opportunity for FPL. Hope Stuart enjoys his goodie-bag!

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

        He bench boosted and virtually all of his players double figured.

  19. djenzio
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    anyone else rolling a FT over for next season??

  20. ol3andre
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Son to Arnie for a differential cap?

    1FT - 0.2 ITB..

    1. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Yes

      1. ol3andre
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Thanks!

  21. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Doubts are ddg smalling vdH Son Silva.

    Will be fine with Ryan off bench for ddg
    Bertrand or dummett off bench for smalling and or vdH
    Been said in a couple places that Silva will be back
    With that in mind, prioritize son or smalling out? And for who? (0.3ITB)

  22. Mike82
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    I am 9 points ahead in my ML, me or rival has no chips left, my team;
    DDG Ryan
    Ogbonna, Lowton, Vertonghen, Chilwell, Naughton
    Sterling, Salah, Lingard, Gundagon, Milivojevic.
    Vardy, Kane, Jesus

    What moves should I make?

    1. Pep Pig
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      May be a good bet to swap DDG with Jose saying he won't play him? Certainly nothing worth a hit when it's so tight. Will ultimately be decided on captain choice. Salah or Kane? I'm going Kane and I am 7 points ahead. Think he may go Salah but it's my gut feeling

    2. Dr Van Nostrand
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Vardy to Bobby and DDG to Karius

  23. DV8R
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Play 1

    A) Gudmundsson
    B) Ayew

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

      Gudmundsson

    2. chilli con kone
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Jordan or Andre?

      B either way for me

  24. Boris Bodega
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Aubamayang - on form and nailed on to play Arsene Wenger's last game for Arsenal. Surely no better captain material out there?

    1. chilli con kone
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      He's scoring well but is he still stuck in wide areas?

    2. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Lacazette better option I think

  25. Lord Flashheart
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Smalling, gross
    To
    Pva, Zaha

    Worth -4?

    1. chilli con kone
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Yes with Smalling likely rested

  26. chilli con kone
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Last decision of my FPL season:

    A. Play Ryan (liv)
    B. Sell Ryan -4

    Surely no keeper is worth a hit right?

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

      keep

    2. Benster
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Right

  27. TeddiPonza
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Simpson Haz and Kenedy to TAA Salah and RLC for -8 worth it?

    Bench would be
    DdG Lingard Morgan Barnes

    Thanks.

  28. TMF86

    7 years, 7 months ago

    Hi Guys
    I'm 60 points clear in my main league and this is my team. 1FT. £0.3 ITB
    Are there any areas that you would upgrade?

    Hennessey
    Davies/Jones/Otamendi
    Salah/Sterling/Eriksen/Milivojevic
    Jesus/Vardy/Kane

    Ryan/Ogbonna/McArthur/Lowton

    1. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Copy his team for a 56 point hit and take the 4 point victory 😉

      1. TMF86
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        hahahahahahahaha. You know. I like your thinking.

  29. Benster
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    GW 38
    1FT

    Hennessey
    Lowton Mustafi Vert
    Arnie DSilva Sterling Ramsey
    Kane Aubameyang Jesus

    Subs DeGea Tarkowski McArthur Mariappa

    Too much City and Arsenal I think. Should I do the following?

    Mustafi+Jesus > Robertson+Firmino -4

    Would love to get Salah but think it would cost me -8 and a load of hassle.

  30. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Son to Arnautovic -4 or play Son and hope starts ?

    1. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Play son
