How the FPL title race looks ahead of Gameweek 38 finale

Fantasy Football Scout member Adam Levy is in a very strong position to become the 2018/19 Fantasy Premier League champion.

The New Zealand manager has held the number one spot since Gameweek 29 and from then onwards has only consolidated his position.

Crucially, he pulled in triple-figure hauls for every single one of his chip deployments apart from the second Wildcard.

Playing his Triple Captain on Sergio Aguero (£12.0m) in Double Gameweek 25, he scored 125 points.

The Free Hit chip in Double Gameweek 32 yielded a score of 102, while a Bench Boost in Double Gameweek 35 produced a 117-point haul.

Despite not playing any chips in Gameweek 36, Adam still managed 109 points to strengthen his position ahead of the final two sets of matches.

All of those scores helped him create one of the biggest cushions an overall leader has ever enjoyed going into the final day of the season.

The gap between him and second-placed Falah Allawati stands at a massive 60 points.

The would-be challenger from Oman may also be out of chips but does have a few assets over the world leader.

Adam Levy’s team in Gameweek 37

At this point in time, there is an overlap of just six players between the two squads, Hugo Lloris (£5.4m), Trent Alexander-Arnold (£5.8m), Aymeric Laporte (£6.3m), Raheem Sterling (£11.7m), Son Heung-min (£8.7m) and Raúl Jiménez (6.9m) the assets they share.

Crucially, at this stage, Adam has no Liverpool attackers.

He currently has a double-up on their defence with both Andrew Robertson (£6.8m) and Alexander-Arnold.

The fact that Falah owns Mohamed Salah (£13.3m) could prove the difference, although Son’s suspension may have opened an easy opportunity for Adam to cover the Egyptian off.

As of Friday night, Adam had cashed in the two free transfers he banked in Gameweek 36, opting to do them fairly early.

Son will have almost certainly been one of these, and a downgrade of Christian Eriksen (£9.2m) to bench-fodder will probably have given him the extra cash to get Salah if he wants – or Sadio Mané (£10.3m), who Falah currently doesn’t have.

That would allow Adam to start both Ryan Fraser (£6.3m) and Callum Wilson (£6.8m) against Crystal Palace’s out-of-sorts defence on the final day of the season.

How Falah got on in Gameweek 37

That’s an exciting attacking double-up that Falah owns neither of, although he has also done two transfers as of Friday night too, admittedly for a four-point hit.

Adam’s other exposure after Gameweek 37 is the fact he does not own Aguero.

The Manchester City striker may be a little out of form, just one goal in his last six matches, but he remains a highly-owned figure.

This could be who Adam pursued with his two free transfers, as the money gained from downgrading Son may have helped him upgrade Alexandre Lacazette (£9.4m).

However, despite all of these potential avenues for Falah to catch up with Adam, it really would take something utterly spectacular from the world number two to stop the FPL title heading down under to New Zealand on Sunday.

    Torn on Son replacements, can't upgrade as I'll swap Dunk to Laporte:

    A) Moura
    B) Siggy
    C) Fraser
    D) BSilva
    E) Redmond
    F) Other?

    1. Sailboats

      Babel?

      1. Sailboats
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Actually i would just do D

      2. Red Rock
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Also decent, just don't trust Fulham. I know he has some form but the players around him aren't great

    2. Geezer
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      D

      1. Red Rock
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Let's hope this isn't Sane's time to start! Looks like it's D

    3. The_Fish
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      I'm in the same position. Probably going Redmond (can't go Bilva, have Sterling and Aguero)

  2. rokonto
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Son out... who in?
    A. Pogba
    B. Bilva
    Have sterling and laporte
    No man u.

    ADVICE NEEDED!! Chasing 31pts but I have my Triple Captain. Which moves do I make?

    (A) Son > Pogba (FT)

    (B) Son + Jimenez > Milivojevic + Vardy (-4, 0.1 ITB)

    (C) Other - if so, what??

    As far as the Son replacement goes, I'm thinking maybe I need someone other than Milivojevic (or Fraser for that matter) as a differential given my rival has both. I'm tempted by Deulofeu, but not sure about the Watford double-up (I have Doucouré starting). 3 City players already otherwise would bring in Dilva / Bilva.

    *****

    MY TEAM:

    Team currently looks like this:

    Gunn
    Valery | VVD | Laporte | Bednarek
    Sterling (VC) | Mané | Doucouré
    Rashford | Jiménez | Agüero (C)

    Bench: Foster | Son* | Jota | Doherty

    * Will definitely transfer Son

    *****

    RIVAL'S LAST SQUAD:

    Ederson | Fabianski
    Doherty | Robertson | AWB | Pereira | Holebas
    Salah | Fraser | Milivojevic | Son | Brooks
    Agüero | Jiménez | Firmino

    Rival has no chips remaining and 1FT.

    1. Hand of clod
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      B looks good. Must admit i am not convinced the MCI/BHA game will see many goals. TC Aguero may not be enough if your rival also caps him. I'd go Vardy or Mane TC.

      1. Latch86
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Or Sterling? Another differential and I'm banking on there being goals for MCI!

  4. J to the T
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Play one
    1) Valery home to HUD (already have Gunn starting)
    2) Jiménez away to LIV

  5. Sailboats
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Is it better to play Ryan (against Man City) or Patricio (against Liverpool)?

    1. Latch86
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Patricio

    2. The Ejiptian King
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      What a choice, I'd go Ryan and hope for save points, Pat doesn't actually make many saves.

    3. Sailboats
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      thanks both!

  6. The Red Devil
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Gunn Ryan
    Taa Robbo Valery Jonny Duffy
    Hazard mane jota Sterling Jota JWP
    Jimenez Wilson Aguero

    1 ft 0.5 ITB
    suggestions??

    1. Latch86
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Jonny / Duffy out in case Robbo doesn't play and you need your bench

  7. Amey
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    No more press conferences right ??

    1. The Ejiptian King
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Nope, all done.

      1. Amey
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Great.
        Thank you

    2. Numb
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Right

      1. Amey
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Cheers mate

    3. WVA
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Any news from pressers?

      1. Amey
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Nope
        Nothing Surprising.

        1. WVA
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 10 months ago

          Thanks bro, appreciate it. Son to Bilva it is.

  8. Geezer
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Who to get for Son?

    A: Pogba
    B: Fraser
    C: Redmond
    D: Moura

    I got 3 liv and city players

    1. Hand of clod
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      B or C.

    2. Richd
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      This is what we are all wondering.

      Still in C. Can’t believe how enticing B is. A is the only going down in my estimation but will be “so obvious” if he does do something and D is the only one I won’t consider.. spurs have trolled us all

      1. The Ejiptian King
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        B would be very tempting if I didn't already have Wilson! I'm going C.

        1. Richd
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 10 months ago

          For sure! Not having Bou worries me a bit

      2. The_Fish
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Who's your captain this week mate?

        1. Richd
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 10 months ago

          Still sterling. But I’m starting to think captain is key this week and waivering a bit. Don’t feel that confident tbh

          1. The_Fish
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 10 months ago

            I'm going for Laporte and expecting 6-8 points with small potential of assist/goal.

    3. Lazaretti
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      I think I will pick Sigurdsson.., also considering Antonio

  9. konrad.sygula95
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Son and Jimmy to Pogba and Wilson sounds like a good moves? On 2 free transfers

    1. Lazaretti
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Yes. Pogba prob getting 2pts or 10 or more

  10. lowkey
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Hazard out for Aguero? -4

    H2H opponent has Aguero

  11. _Gunner
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Son + Firmino >?

    A- Salah + Long
    B- Salah + Llorente
    C- Fraser + Vardy
    D- Other combinaton?

    1. Basil1977
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Sterling,wilson

      1. _Gunner
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Have 3 city already

    2. Basil1977
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Salah, wilson if you can afford

  12. Hand of clod
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Would be interested in what game everyone thinks will be the highest scoring affair this weekend and why?

    1. S.Kuqi
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Watford - West ham
      Fulham - Newcastle

    2. ㅤRising
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      C. Palace-Bournemouth
      Watford-West ham

  13. MiLK2018
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Who to start?

    A) Jimenez (liv)
    B) Llorente (EVE)

  14. S.Kuqi
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Looks like everyone ignores Deulo as a Son replacement

  15. Basil1977
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Any Liverpool fans out there that still own triple Brighton defense since the wildcard (Ryan, Dunk, Duffy) are you going to play all 3?
    Could be a weekend to remember,a clean sweep of points at the back and a premier league win.

    1. ㅤRising
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      That would be a double L

    2. Fnug
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Yes, but NO. All three firmly rooted to the bench.

  16. The 12th Man
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    1.How many minutes for these two this week?
    A) Lacazette
    B) Aubamayang

    2. What to do with Lacazette?
    1. Replace with Aubamayang for -4
    2. Keep and Double up by going Jimenez > Aubamayang-4
    3.keep and use transfers elsewhere.

  17. UnitednationsXI
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Couple of quick questions

    1) Redmond + Jwp or
    2) Fraser + Jwp?

    A) Jimenez
    B) Wilson (-4)
    C) Mitro (-4)
    D) Rashford (-4)
    E) Vardy (-4)

    Leaning towards 1D...more risky but could pay off.

    1. Max City
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      2A?

  18. Kno
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Preferred Bmouth asset between fraser and wilson?

    Selling either jimenez or son. Whoever I keep is sticking to the bench

    1. Max City
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      You need to lose Son I believe?

    2. Basil1977
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      fraser for Son, due to Son being out and Jimenez being fit. might need a bench,

  19. Max City
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    With my 2FT

    Martial* Son* Firmino* to which combo:

    A) Salah Mitrovic Redmond
    B) Salah Wood Redmond
    C) Sterling Fraser Wilson
    D) Sterling Fraser Wood/Mitro
    E) Aguero Fraser Milivojevic/Redmond

    That'll give me

    Ederson
    TAA Laporte Doherty (Duffy Yoshida*)

    Mane Eriksen *** *** (Doucoure)
    Jimenez Vardy ***

    1. Basil1977

  20. Fantasydreamer
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    A. Jota, jimi (+4 points)
    B. Robertson, Babel

  21. CherryBoys
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Please advise me which one to play:

    A. Long (alongside Kun and Vardy)
    B. Hojbjerg (alongside Salah TC, Mane, Sterling and Fraser)

    Thanks for your help this season. Can’t believe I’m going to have to start talking to the OH at the weekends now.....

    Cheers and good luck to all.
