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.

    My main rival has Wilson, Moura and Fraser. I’m 40 ahead for £100. What move would you do here?

    A. Son >> Moura / Fraser / Redmond
    B. Jiménez >> Zaha / Wilson

    Foster
    Laporte. TAA. Bednarek. Shaw
    Sterling. Mané. Pogba. Son*
    Agüero. Gray
    (Ryan, Jiménez. Højbjerg, Doherty)

    1. Puntastic
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Jimenez to Wilson

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Cheers

    2. FPL GREG
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      +1

    3. Tshelby
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      A for me Fraser.
      Think Redmond is overhyped but that being said I will most likely transfer him in

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Fraser over Redmond?

        1. Tshelby
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          Yeah

    4. Amey
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      A Redmond
      & Buy a bottle of champagne 😉

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Thanks Amey. Very torn on this last decision

        1. Amey
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          Yeah.
          Last one of the season.
          Worth tinkering 😉

    5. Poseidon.
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      A for me. Cant see Son playing. Bring in Redmond

      1. Tshelby
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Think nobody can see Son playing

        1. Poseidon.
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          He’s suspended

    6. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      So Redmond that he doesn’t have. Or Fraser / Wilson to block him seem the two picks most favour

  2. Shiva_Destroyer
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    I have Robbo kolasinac Doherty Duffy dunk as my back five... Robbo kolasinac won’t be risked... already using my FT to sell son... should I do -4 for any of these?

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      TAA might be worth it

      1. Shiva_Destroyer
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        But selling Robbo when klopp said he’s fine is not good option imo

    2. FPL GREG
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Personally wouldn't take a hit for a defender. Laporte maybe. If Kompany is confirmed playing he might be a good shout at 5.2m

  3. Tshelby
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Final question which combo would you prefer?

    A) Vardy, Redmond, Laporte
    B) Jota, Mane, Laporte

    Thanks!

    1. Shiva_Destroyer
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      A

    2. FPL GREG
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      A here too

    3. Puntastic
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      A

    4. Tsssst
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      A

  4. El-Kloppico
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Tough decision for me.. cant decide what to do.. chasing by 15pts..

    A. Jimmy to Wilson
    B. Jimmy to Arnie
    C. Jimmy & Son > Vardy + Fraser (-4)

    1. Tshelby
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      A

    2. FPL GREG
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Probably A, possibly C if you're feeling saucy.

    3. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      A

    4. Blanka
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      I'm in pretty much same boat, and I'm looking at C.

  5. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Have got double Liverpool defence so should I start Llorente or Jimenez?

    1. El-Kloppico
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      L

    2. Tshelby
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Llorente think he will start

    3. FPL GREG
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Llorente

  6. Puntastic
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Lloris
    Robbo - Shaw - Valery
    Sterling - Mane - Eriksen - Son!
    Aguero - Jimenez - Ings
    (Gunn /Jota / Jonny / Dunk)

    Thoughts on these moves got 2fts?

    A) Son & Jimenez to Vardy & Fraser
    B) Son & Dunk to Laporte/TAA & Fraser (bench Jimenez)

    TIA! 🙂

    1. FPL GREG
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      That's close, but I'd favour attackers so A

      1. Puntastic
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Basically Laporte/TAA vs Vardy.

    2. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      A

  7. TheSteel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Torn between
    A. Mane
    B. Laporte
    C. Aguero

    For the armband

    1. Tshelby
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      A

    2. FPL GREG
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      I think Liverpool wins 2-0 and man city wins 1-0

  8. Ojpsan1
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    A) Foster+ Laporte

    B) Ederson + Valery

    1. FPL GREG
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      B

  9. Amey
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Who's your Robbo autosub if he does a no show ??

    Mine is Doherty.
    Not so inspiring 😕

    1. FPL GREG
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Better than a defender hit, dare you kompany 5.2m

      1. Amey
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        😮
        Good

    2. drughi
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      same here but hard to predict defender points especially last Gameweek

      1. Amey
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Exactly.
        I can buy any Defender for Robbo but not sure.
        So Keeping & hoping

    3. TheSteel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      JWP

      1. Amey
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Great

    4. Tsssst
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Bednarek or Jimenez, not decided yet?

      1. Amey
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Bednarek is great one imo.
        I have Yoshida 😛

  10. Shiva_Destroyer
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Will ings start? Should i start him and use my FT to replace Doherty??

    1. FPL GREG
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Probably 45 mins, but could score in that time.

    2. drughi
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      I'm starting Ings but it is 50/50 if he does

  11. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Who else watching Bayern game with no premierleague action today

    1. drughi
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      watching them-djokovic

      1. NATSTER

        Me too.

  12. Riders of Yohan
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    A) son -> bilva/pogba
    B) son + eriksen -> salah (C) + redmond (-4)
    C) A + Doherty -> Laporte (-4)
    D) something else

    1.2 ITB 1FT

    Foster / Ryan
    Robbo / Doherty / Shaw / valery / Duffy
    Mane / son / eriksen / sterling / jota
    Aguero / long / Jiménez

  13. Scratch
    • 15 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Anyone know if Robertson trained today?

    1. Shiva_Destroyer
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Klopp said he’s fine. Why wouldn’t he play? So many people saying he’ll not play

    2. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      He is fit, question is will he be risked. If I owned I would start him and make sure your bench is in order.

  14. Shiva_Destroyer
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    What ate the chances of kolasinac playing?? Worth selling for -4?

    1. Amey
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Solid Defending 😉

      I'd sell Kola for Taa

      1. Shiva_Destroyer
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Don’t have that much itb. Rose to quite a good rank because of it so can’t complain but yes defense is sucking for gw38

        1. Amey
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          Ha
          Same here.

          1. Shiva_Destroyer
            • 6 Years
            5 years, 5 months ago

            You also in same boat? What are you doing? Is -4 an option??

            1. Amey
              • 6 Years
              5 years, 5 months ago

              No not with Kola.
              I have
              Taa Robbo* Valery Yoshida* Doherty

              Robbo doubtful for me & Doherty coming in
              Not taking a hit though

              1. Shiva_Destroyer
                • 6 Years
                5 years, 5 months ago

                You’re in better position then. Btw are you from maharashtra?

                1. Amey
                  • 6 Years
                  5 years, 5 months ago

                    Pune 🙂
                    Nice to see FPL addict from state

                        If you want to talk fpl or join some cash leagues next season.

                        shivanand.atre@gmail.com

                        You seem comparatively newer to FPL

    2. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Yes Kolasinac > Kompany is worth a hit

      1. Kuzser
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Or Laporte

      2. Shiva_Destroyer
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Wish i had that itb... may be play ings and don’t get pogba for son?

    3. BC1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Some Valencia player. Yes.

  15. CFC1990
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Fraser or Redmond?

    Sounds 50 50 and Redmond has the fixture but Fraser has done well this season and is hitting form again

    1. FPL Pillars
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Fraser for me, more consistent form in the better attacking team.

  16. AD2110
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Guys what are the best options here. Got 1.6m ITB and 1FT. Leading my mini league by 10 points....

    Was thinking Foster to Ederson??

    Any other suggestions appreciated!

    Foster
    TAA, Shaw, Valery
    Mane, Sterling, Deulofeu, Hazard
    Aguero, Wilson, Jiminez

    Ryan, Jota, Kola, Bednarek

  17. Kuzser
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Best move this week to win a ML (3 points behind my rival atm)?
    A. Son Jimmi -> Sterling Long for -4
    B. Son-> pogba
    C. Son-> bilva
    D. doherty->laporte and play 4defs

    His team:
    Ederson
    AWB-Laporte-Robbo (Kola doherty)
    pogba-sterling-fraser-jota (tielemans)
    Rashford-Jimmi-Vardy

    My team:
    Foster
    TAA-Shaw-Valery (Doherty Duffy)
    Mane-Salah-Jota-Redmond (Son)
    Aguero-Wilson-Jimmi

  18. NorwichCityLad
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Is Rashford > Rondon a good move other forwards are aguero and Wilson

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Yep. Or Zaha / Arnie

    2. NATSTER
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      What's a problem with Rashford? Injured?

    3. Bubz
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Whats wrong with rashford??

    4. grumpyman
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      You surely have better moves to make than that.

  19. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    How many points do you think can be caught this week? Realistically

    1. NorwichCityLad
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Hopefully no more than 30 or my title is over

    2. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      20 sounds feasible if you nail the captaincy and your opponent's captain blanks.

    3. Dakers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Well I hope I can catch the lad ahead of me bey outscorung him by 33pts 🙂

      Probably 20 or so if lucky 🙁

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Good luck buddy

  20. Perthite
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Play Doherty or Valery?

    1. NorwichCityLad
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Valery

  21. CFC1990
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Doherty to TAA worth a -4?

    Thinking Doherty is very likely to get nothing and look at TAA's attacking threat

    1. Paul Psychic Octopus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      At most he will get 2pts. So depends whether you think TAA will get more than 6...

    2. Dakers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Had been considering that tbh, and then Bednarek first sub in case Robbo doesn’t play...

      Gone off it though. Wouldn’t be THAT surprised if Wolves score either.

      Will just content myself with starting with Trent and Robbo next season! 🙂

      1. CFC1990
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        For you play Bednarak definitely

  22. Dakers
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    ‘Ello geezers. 1FT 0.0 ITB, chasing ML (as of last week he had Haz, Salah, Trent...)

    A) Hazard Son —> Salah Fraser/Deulo (-4)
    B) Son —> BSilva (not as convinced?)

    Lloris (speroni)
    Robertson* Laporte Bednarek (doherty kelly)
    Mane Pogba Hazard Son** (højbjerg)
    Aguero Vardy Jiménez

    Captain Mane with B, Salah with A. Or something else?? 🙂

  23. Paul Psychic Octopus
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Son + Hazard > Salah + Mili/Fraser for -4.

    Yay or Nay?

    (only have Mane for LIV)

    1. grumpyman
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Yaay.

  24. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Smith-Rowe sighted in the bundesliga. Hopefully gets a chance in the pre-season at Arsenal

  25. #FPLBhuna
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years

    I'm tired of all the overthinking so I just pulled the trigger on an all or nothing play to win my mini League.

    Son, Jimmy, Brooks -> Antonio, Vardy, Redmond.

    Sterling (C)

    Goodbye and good luck my friends. May your final gw be filled with joy, laughter, copious amounts of points, and mini League victories for all.

    Been a pleasure. 🙂

    In a real tight fight for 2-4th place. Currently in 3rd, 4 points behind 2nd and 1 point ahead of 4th. Pay jumps between each spot are the same. I have 1 x FT, 2nd has 1 xFT, 4th has 2 x FT. I read that as me being effectively 3 points behind in 4th with hits.

    Leno
    TAA, Robbo, KOLASINAC,
    Mane, W-P, Hazard, Jota
    Wilson, JIMENEZ, Aguero
    Bench includes Son

    Do I:
    a) Son & Kolasinac to Babel & LaPorte (both rivals have latter)
    b) Son & Jimenez to Babel & Rashford
    c) Son & Jimenez to Babel & Vardy
    d) Son & Jimenez to Babel & Perez/Arny
    e) TAKE NO HIT - Son to Babel
