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.

      Roll the dice, I don't have Salah and I'm torn between Sterling and Mane. Aguero good dulllard choice though.

      • 5 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      I have all four and i’m going Salah... Liverpool have nothing to lose so will go for it while City are more than happy to scrape a 1-0 of late

    10. Bruno Commando
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

  2. Orion
    • 13 Years

  3. Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Pick one: Rashford,Arnie or Wilson. Got Kun and Long

    1. gaurava1216

      • 8 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Wilson

  4. jdp219
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Taking a different approach here because I am still unsure what to do with my 2FTs.

    Which mid and which forward would you want for gw38? (FYI, though, can't afford Pogba/Vardy)

    -- Mids: Fraser, Babel, Deulo, Moura, Pogba
    -- Fwds: Vardy, Laca, Origi, Rondon, Wood, Rashford

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

      Zaha and Fraser if you want have Wilson. Otherwise Maddison

      1. jdp219
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Ah, forgot to add Zaha. Good call.

        I admit I like Vardy, Fraser.

  5. Whats the Mata?
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    A. Deulofeu + Shaw
    Or
    B. Pogba + Valery (have Rashford)

    Thoughts?

  6. The Red Devil

    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)

      Which attacker are you currently benching? A Wolves one?
      Comes down to the replacement score if yes.

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

        If I do A, I've to bench Jimenez or JWP, thinking I'd keep Jimenez, what do you think?

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years

          Who is on the bench for E?

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

            I guess jota benched with JWP & Jimenez starting

            1. TorresMagic™
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • Has Moderation Rights
              • 14 Years
              4 years, 10 months ago

              Comes down to

              JWP, Redmond (-4), Jimenez, Zaha (-4), Fraser/Babel (-4)

              Pick the one you like most.

              B) could work out the best too.

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

                I like B, no MLs to challenge, seems like a fun way to go out

    2. FootyFan

  12. gaurava1216
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    4 years, 10 months ago

    Captain Choice this week is impossible... Tough to pick between City and Liverpool assets.

    Salah Mane and Aguero all going for Golden boot
    Both teams going for Title.
    City away from home- but playing the weaker opposition- but not scoring freely at this stage.
    Liverpool at home vs a decent wolves side but have locked in 7th

    So i guess I'm looking at what effect there could be in the game.
    If City take an early goal- could that demoralise Liverpool assets?- News will travel
    The longer the City game stays 0-0 Liverpool will be pumped.
    If Liverpool go 1-0 up early City may panic and if they get the 1-0 sit back.

    I have just written all this and still have no clue what I'm doing? But does it make sense?

    1. Longlatini
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      If I had Salah I’d captain him

      Rested, in form, golden boot, all adds up to a Salah (c)

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

      an interesting take. Check out my post a few down from this. I'm thinking man city / Liverpool aren't the best options but now you're adding to my doubts!!!

  13. Bobby Digital
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Sterling or Kun this week? Can't go both.. have Ederson n Laporte.

    1. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Sterling

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

      sterling. They're on similar form but aguero this season hasn't been as good away from home. Also, sterling gets more points for a goal and 1 point for a clean sheet

      1. Bobby Digital
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Sound.. cheers.

  14. Pukki Party
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Thoughts on David Silva as a replacement for Son? Under 1% owned in top 10K. Good differential?

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

      Think Aguero, Sterling and Laporte are best 3 city options, I prefer Bilva to David Silva but it could pay off

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

      I think there are better more explosive players out there: Fraser, deulofeu, Tielemans for example.

  15. gaurava1216

    A B or C pls for Free.....

  17. FootyFan

    4 years, 10 months ago

    I'm pretty much set on Vardy as captain but the lack of people going for him is making me doubt myself!

    I have Mane, sterling and Aguero too but isn't Vardy looking the most likely to score big this week?

    Aguero and sterling are not on top form and away from home against Brighton who don't conceded loads at home against big opposition. Also, Man city are more defensive than previously in the season.

    Mane is against wolves who are no pushover and they need to be careful defensively so perhaps won't go all out attack.

    Vardy is on top form at home against a tired chelsea who regularly conced away from home.

    Am I missing something?

    1. Tommyg
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Nope. Not missing anything. Not a bad shout at all. Go for it.

      For full disclosure I'm going Salah.

      Wilson. Palace aren't as good at home and Bournemouth play better away

      Wilson

    With Speroni playing his last game for the Club, does he start over Guita?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years

      It's possible.

      1. Your Mum Zohore

        Right? Oh well, welcome Mark Travers

  21. rnrd
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Tough one.. can’t decide..
    Would you play
    A- gray (WHU)
    B- Jiménez ? (Liv)

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Gray

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

    Play
    A) Jimenez
    B) Jota
    C) Llorente
    D) Vardy -4

  23. Adsequor
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    With Watford having one eye on next week's FA Cup final, I think they will rest players.

    So who has a better chance of starting?

    A) Deulofeu
    B) Gray

      1. Pompel
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Straight spoken bloke, that. Like that.

  24. Midlands Saint73
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    I do enjoy the play off games, get some early eye tests for next season's bargain basement picks.

  25. SoShy
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Wilson & Sterling over Salah & A.Perez

    Salah is the more popular choice but have a gut feeling about Wilson

  26. CRO KLOPP
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    1 ft,0.4 itb
    Guaita
    Laporte TAA Doherty
    Sterling Hazard Mane Redmond
    Aguero Jimenez Gray
    (Foster Dunk Son Yoshida)

    A) Son to any midfielder up to 9.0
    B) Gray to Rondon/Mitro
    C) Son and Hazard to Salah and Fraser for a hit
    D) Jimenez to Wilson/ Arnie/Zaha

  27. Daniel Exeter
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Martial to play tomorrow?

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

      Don’t think so personally

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Wouldn't bet on it.

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

      Very little chance

  28. FPL_WILDCARD
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Have 2 FTs, which is the better pair of transfers:

    A) Son and Jimenez to Moura and Vardy
    B) Son and Jota to Pogba and Tielemans

    1. Mr Bird
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      A... although Moura and Spurs as a whole will be tired but can’t see Pogba getting much and Vardy is the best Leicester pick

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

    Chances of Robertson playing tomorrow?

    1. Scotty B
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      80%

  30. Taegugk Warrior
    • 5 Years

    Sell Jota or Jimenez...?
