FPL Gameweek 38 – an analysis of the key underlying stats

997 Comments
Share

The 2018/19 season comes to a conclusion this Sunday, with all 20 Premier League clubs kicking off simultaneously at 15:00 BST.

Gameweek 38 represents the final chance to claw back a mini-league deficit or improve an overall rank for those Fantasy managers who are struggling.

For the front-runners amongst us, there may be more ‘defensive’ strategies employed as impressive ranks and mini-league leads are consolidated.

Ahead of this weekend’s later-than-usual deadline, we take a look at the data available to subscribers in our Members’ area and present the eye-catching statistics that could influence Fantasy managers’ decisions and transfers whatever the approach.

We’ve run down the stand-out stats in every position, as well as looking at the strengths and weaknesses of various teams to assess which Fantasy Premier League assets could have a profitable Gameweek 38.

Members can read on for our analysis below.

    Play Redmond or Deulofeu?

    It's gotta be Redmond, right?

      I would play Deoulofeu - higher ceiling and last gw punt.. Redmond will be owned by lots on here.. so all depends on ML.

    Sorry, bottomed.
    What would you do with Gray?
    Not likely to start is he?
    A replacement for Son was my main priority but I could leave him on the bench and do Gray -> Wilson.

    Would give me;

    Lloris
    TAA VVD Laporte Valery
    Sterling Mane Redmond
    Kun Jimenez Wilson
    (Foster, Jota, Duffy, Son)

    Gtg?

      Looks decent. I have Gray too but will leave it late to decide. Who knows he might play Sunday and then get benched for the cup
      He may rest delofeu

      Depends if there’s any midfield players you like the look of?

      So it’s Wilson v Fraser/Pogba/Mili

      Personally I like midfielders this year over Forwards. Gray can just be on your bench no?

        I agree. This is the decision. Wilson vs. Pogba. Not easy. But last home game for Utd perhaps points in Pogba’s direction..

    I’d rather take a hit for a mid/forward than a defender personally.

          Whats your ML and OR position?
          If chasing play both. Got to be plenty of goals in that game. Put Rob first on bench. Transfer out Son and avoid the hit.

              I see. Then taking a hit to bring in highly owned players in the top10k would be the best move? Maybe just Son out for a proper differential and avoid the hit.

    Apologies, just posted this a minute ago on an old thread!!
    ----------------
    I need to make up 29 points in my cash ML and want a couple of additional differentials for the final game. I'm tempted to bring in Wilson and Fraser, they've played so well all season that a final double digit haul from at least one of them seems only appropriate.

    Wilson & Fraser for a final g/w punt?
