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.

      I could end up with both though, but as of now Pogba is the one I already have.

      Same 2 keepers as me.

      I'm starting Gunn against Huddersfield. If he doesn't start he's unlikely to come on for a cameo, so I'll get Lloris off the bench anyway.

            Is there any difference between 3rd and 4th place, re. Champions League qualification?

            i.e. does the 4th team have to play a qualifying round whereas 3rd goes straight through to the group stage?

            All of Arsenals 7 Semifinal goals have come from Auba and Laca, mad.

              Wow didn't realise that actually, pretty crazy.

              See Emery, this is what you get when you finally play em together lol. They clearly love playing together and are effective

                One thing Emery knows about is winning the Fairs Cup.

                Sad thing is it's taken him so long.
                You look at that squad and you say "how do I fit these two guys into my team"
                Sarri has the same issue, total belief in A system but completely inflexible. At least Emery now has a pre-season to try and build round that rather than persisting with flakes like Iwobi, Mhiki & Ozil to an extent.

            BBC Sport Live - Fred, Devon: It just shows how tough the premier league is for Arsenal to play so well away in Europe but struggle away in the UK.

            Dunno about that one Fred
