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.

    Which would you go with A or B

    A = Mane & JWP

      I'd go A.

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

    Best option here:

    A: Redmond + Wilson/Vardy/Mitro/Rashford
    B: Fraser + Mitro/Rashford
    C: Alli + Mitro

    1. Siggy in the Middle
      • 8 Years

      Redmond plus Wilson

    2. Karan14

      Redmond & Vardy

  5. AccountAnt80
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    1) Son > Pogba/Bilva/Redmond/Fraser (free)
    or
    2) Haz & Son > Salah & Redmond/Fraser (-4)

    Only thinking about moving Haz as he played 120 mins on Thursday.

  6. Viper

      b

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

      I'd go B. Laporte might well get another CS.

    3. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      B- did you consider also Jimenez to Wilson -4 and play over Ings as Long and Redmond may start up top for Southampton with Ings benched?

      1. Karan14
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Won't take a -4. Things are too tight in my ML.

    4. Kobrakai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      I would to A with Fraser...

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

    A- jota to Fraser/Babel (-4)
    B-Hazard jota JWP
    To
    Salah Redmond 4.6 fodder (-12)
    C- JWP to Redmond (-4)
    D- Jimenez to zaha (-4)
    E- none

    Cheers!

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

      I'd be tempted by A (Fraser). Otherwise E.

  9. FPL Pillars
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Who wins here IYO:

    A) Hazard Fraser Vardy
    B) Salah Fraser Jiménez
    C) Hazard Pogba Wilson

    Cheers

    1. Viper
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      I'd probably prefer to have C

    2. Karan14
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      I think B

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

      B with Wilson/Mitrovic/Deeney/Wood not possible ??

      1. FPL Pillars
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Only for a hit. Already have Jim. Also got Gray, though can’t really guarantee a start from him unfortunately

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

          Ohh.
          Tough one then.
          C for me then

    4. Siggy in the Middle

      B

    5. xtina

      Lots of people suggesting Hazzy may be rested due to Europa game

      1. FPL Pillars
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        I know! Annoyed he had to play 120 on Thursday.

      2. FPL Pillars
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Already have him.

  10. Bad Kompany
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Worth getting in and playing two of Laporte, Wilson, Fraser, or Arnie over jiminez for a hit?

    Even though wolves has done well against the top 6, they only scored one goal in their three games vs city and Liverpool who are much better than the others.

  11. Siggy in the Middle
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Repost because I accidentally posted on an old article.

    Anyone going for a crazy but potentially brilliant captaincy punt because their season's been terrible, their OR is poor and their League place has been decided? If so, who'd you go for?

    I currently have it on Chris Wood. Huge differential but could potentially haul

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

      Redmond © here 🙂

      1. Siggy in the Middle
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Very nice differential captain choice. Could potentially score big. Previously had the armband on him.

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

          Yeah.
          Hopefully it comes out well 🙂
          Like Wood too. Arsenal are sh.t @ defending headed chances

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

        Im seriously tempted by Redmond myself. HUD away are dreadful and Redmond is nicely on the Goals Imminent table. Will be amazed if he doesn't get some return.

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

          Exactly.
          I have a feeling that it'll be good 🙂

    2. Bad Kompany
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      I’m not but vardy seems like a good captaincy punt to me

  12. LSK
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Vardy worth a -4 to play over Llorente or Wolves attacker?

    1. xtina
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      I'd say no

    2. scubasmithy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      I'm in the same boat, and with my leagues all decided already I might do it just for the laugh. I can lose 4 points without issue

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

        Same. Will decide tomorrow I guess

  13. RamaJama
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Who to get for Son?

    A) Pogba
    B) Bilva
    C) Fraser

    1. Karan14
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      I'd be tempted by a Pogba punt.

      1. RamaJama
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Cheers! Could also bench Son and play Højbjerg. And then do Jimenez to Wilson or orher forward Max 7.3

        1. Karan14
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 10 months ago

          It's a lottery isn't it? So many options look good but probably most will dissappoint.

          1. RamaJama
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            4 years, 10 months ago

            As always

  14. xtina
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Leading by 11 points. Do i...

    A) play duffy?
    B) replace firmino for -4 so duffy doesn't play?*

    *Replacement would have to be one he doesn't own as we both have Wilson & Jiminez & i can't afford to match his Ageuro!

    1. scubasmithy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Firmino to Vardy - sorted

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

      Think I replace Firmino although it's close. Duffy exp score of 0.9.... so forward would have to have exp score of 4.9 or more to be worth it. There's not many - Rashford is apparently 5.62 but negative form not factored in that score enough. Perez is 4.85, Vardy 4.4 - it's not far off though, so prob worth the risk given how good form he's been in.

      1. xtina
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Thanks for the stats there - that's super useful!

      2. xtina
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Also, impressive rank. GL getting into the top 10k this week!!

  15. Rhys85
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Why did I put Ings in my team!?

    Chances of him starting slim I guess?

  16. Nesvy
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Better pick ?

    a/ Jimenez > Wilson
    b/ Jota > Fraser

    1. Karan14
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Wilson more goal threat

  17. Taegugk Warrior
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Chose 1 to keep & play
    A. Jota
    B. Jimenez
    C. Ditch booth for -8

    1. Bad Kompany
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      B

    2. Karan14
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Keep A in better form.
      Sell B as better options upfront.

  18. Strchld
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    It seems that I have to play 3 Wolves.
    Would you do Jimenez to Wilson for a hit?
    Or Jota to Redmond?

  19. Puntastic

    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)
    C) Son & Jimenez to Pogba/B.Silva & Mitrovic/Wilson

    TIA!

    Yes or No

    1. Kobrakai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

      If you have a decent bench no

    2. Kobrakai

    Son + Jiménez > Redmond + Wilson -4 worth it?

  22. Yank Revolution
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Two burning GK questions
    1) Has Emery said anything about a Cech runout tmrw (Leno benched?)
    2) Will that Bou GK start again, pushing Boruc to bench?

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

      No clue, you have both? It would be rather unlucky both are benched so I wouldn't spend my ft in a gk

      1. Yank Revolution
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Yes I do. I dont really have any other fires to worry about except Jime out for Zaha maybe.

    2. Lemongrab
      • 14 Years

      Leno will play, Cech has his last game in the Europa League final

    Anyone?

    Hey Guys,

    I am in a similar dilemma. Chasing 4 points for a €300 while I was 145 behind in gw 29. So a pretty crazy run might make jump over him on the very last gw, dont think anyone saw that coming, myself included :-).

    I have 2 ft, he has 1. Main differences are Wilson, Salah, Kolasinac (:-() (me) vs Rashford, Mane, Robbo, Redmond

    We both have Sonny and Jimenez

    A) Son -> Mili & Dunk to Taa
    B) Son -> Maddison & Dunk to Taa
    C) son, dunk, Jimenez -> Milly/Maddi, TAA, Zaha

    He has 2 more transfers then me at this point in case we draw. So taking a hit probably puts us on the same transfers made

    1. Yank Revolution
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      You need a Pool D and Son out, thats all I know.

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

        Ya but I dont feel comfortable if I bring in a defender against a team I own 2 strikers (Jota/Jimenez) that I cannot bench (Camarasa, Dunk, Manga)

        :-/

    Not looked at FPL over the past week at all after a disastrous couple of weeks has seen me go from neck and neck to both my rivals to 34 and 24 points behind respectively.

    I think my best chance of winning is bringing in a midfield differential and captaining them. I already have Pogba and Rashford (yuck to both) as differentials although it's possible either/both my rivals make the straight swap from Son to Pogba to maybe cover me there. So... who to pick out of:

    A) Tielmans
    B) Fraser
    C) Babel
    D) Milli
    E) Other

    1. LSK
      • 5 Years

      B was my choice

      1. F_Ivanovic

        ty, only potential downside with B I forgot to mention is that Kelly is my 4th defender if Robertson doesn't play. Don't want to have them facing off against each other when I need everything to go my way to win.

      You're best option is Salah really or a big hitter he does not have. They give you the biggest chance of hauls. Out of those i would go B

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

        No chance of getting Salah without a hit and I'd have to get rid of Mane or Aguero to fund him?

    3. Bad Kompany
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      B imo

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

      Try someone from SOU?

      Out of those, Fraser can do well

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

        Already tripled up on Southampton :/

    a) Doherty and Pogba

    or

    b) TAA & Jimenez

      B, help above please?

    Thoughts on What to do?
    Son replacement?
    Kola and Robertson are doubts?

    Leno
    *Robertson/TAA/*Kola/Valery
    *Son/Mane/Pogba/
    Aguero/Laca/Rashford

    Ryan/ Hojberg/Dunk/Neves
    1 FT,0 ITB

    Cheers

    Lloris
    TAA Laporte Valery Femenia
    Pogba Hazard Mane JWP
    Aguero Rashford
    (Ryan, Jimenez, Masina, Son)

    Would you rather
    A) Lloris > Ederson
    B) Hazard Son > Salah Maddison (-4)
    C) Hazard Jimi > Salah Long (-4)
    D) Something else ???

    Have been on A all week but worried about impact of Thurs on Hazard.
    B & C lets me bench Kiko.
