The Complete Guide to our FPL Gameweek 38 tips and advice

And now, the end is near, and so I face the final curtain

It’s Gameweek 38 and the curtain is about to fall on another Premier League season. But before we dive headlong into an existential crisis and wonder what the heck are we going to do with our lives next week?! Let’s enjoy, if we can, our final fix of FPL for 2018/19. It’s been emotional.

The big news from Gameweek 37 was the dismissal of Tottenham’s Heung-Min Son. The South Korean was sent off for only the second time in his career against Bournemouth. Owned by 77% of the top 10,000 managers, many are now wondering who to replace him with.

David, Az, and Andy debated the options on this week’s Scoutcast, opinions were divided with Az calling Pogba the sensible choice but Andy wondering how Manchester United will pick themselves up after being “so bad” against Huddersfield. Instead, Andy fancies the Crystal Palace v Bournemouth match to offer up some goals.

Brandon from the Always Cheating Podcast agrees:

All signs point toward a buccaneering shootout. The Palace midfielder of choice is Milivojevic, who is essentially Zaha’s shooting boots—the Palace forward loves to go down for penalty calls, leaving Milivojevic to sweep the goals home. On the other side would be Ryan Fraser, who is second only to Eden Hazard this season for assists (13).

Who to get to replace Son? was only one of the questions tackled by our FPL Question Time Panel. With Wolves facing a testing encounter away to Liverpool, other pressing concerns included “Who to replace Jiménez with?” FFS moderator Gregor, an FPL manager with an excellent track record of three top 1,000 finishes in the last five seasons, points out that after recovering from a shoulder injury, Rashford could be an excellent pick:

I don’t think there is any doubt that he’s one of the players Solskjær is depending on for next season and I think local boy Rashford will be keen to end the season on a high against the creaky Cardiff defence.

However if selling Jiménez means taking a hit, former FPL winner Simon March offered some cautionary words:

Generally speaking, a hit for the final Gameweek of the season is risky due to the fact that you obviously only have the one chance for it to pay off. Even a couple of points at this stage of the season can have huge implications for ranks and mini leagues so sacrificing them isn’t something we should take lightly.

Our Scoutcasters agreed. It’s also worth noting for those FPL managers in and around the top 10,000 that Jiménez had a 91% ownership in Gameweek 37.

Continuing with the all-important team news – and thank you to both Neale and Rotation’s Alter Ego for patiently sifting through the 18 press conferences we had on Friday – Andrew Robertson “should be fine” after he picked up a knock in Liverpool’s epic comeback against Barcelona, the same goes for Jordan Henderson, while Mohamed Salah has been training and is expected to return.

Not such good news for Roberto Firmino however, who will miss the final game of the season.

The latest from Manchester City is that Kevin De Bruyne could be involved this afternoon, having taken part in training in the last two days. However, Fernandinho is out.

Outside of the top two, there was some noteworthy defensive news: reinforcing Andy and Brandon’s view that there could be goals in the Crystal Palace v Bournemouth match, Palace – already without James Tomkins and Mamadou Sakhocould also be without Scott Dann; And elsewhere, goalkeeper Joel Coleman will make his Huddersfield debut away to Southampton – can he possibly be as good as Mark Travers was on his debut for Bournemouth last week?

Owners of Southampton players, in particular their attacking assets, will be buoyed by the news. Recently crowned Southampton ‘Player of the Year’, Nathan Redmond has the underlying statistics to take full advantage. Not only is he selected for the Scout Picks but his captain credentials were even the subject of a members-only article. It makes for very impressive reading with perhaps only a low goal conversion rate letting him down.

Speaking of captain credentials, David’s Captain Sensible piece considers a number of armband candidates noting that:

There is a strong chance that Gameweek 38’s top points-scorer will come outside of the two Premier League title-related games.

Following Chelsea’s exertions on Thursday evening as their Europa League tie went to penalties, Leicester’s Jamie Vardy is attracting interest. No team has had more Shots on Target than Leicester’s 29 over the last four home gameweeks.

However, rather than in-form Leicester, it’s the somewhat out-of-sorts Manchester United who are predicted to do well in G-Whizz’s final DS stats, fixtures and clean sheet odds. A DS for United of 466 is enough to put them in third place behind only Liverpool (609DS) and neighbours Manchester City (595DS).

This is a prediction mirrored by Hutch_James in the Wisdom of the Crowd.

Finally, on the Scoutcast, Andy offered some wise words – and this applies to your captain pick as well:

If you’re ever going to wait to make your transfers, make it this week… every team is going to have to put their line-ups in at 2 o’clock, and we’ve had plenty of news in past seasons so wait wait wait.

No doubt he remembers that on the final day of the 2016/17 season Josh King famously posted on Instagram that he was missing out.

Grey Head opened his regular examination of The Great and The Good with a marginally less clichéd song lyric than I used at the outset of this article – The Final Countdown v My Way. Don’t let anyone accuse us of lacking in originality.

It was a surprise to discover that Mark, the highest ranked of The Great and The Good, has not owned Robertson all season. Remarkably, the first defender to score over 200 points in a single season never once graced his side. Although currently ranked inside the top 1,000 I doubt it’s a decision Mark regrets.

A man with a few regrets, and certainly enough to mention, is the FPL General. He’s had a season reminiscent of the well-known Eric Morecambe quote: “I’m playing all the right notes. But not necessarily in the right order.” Reflecting upon his season, the General observed:

With all the great content available to fantasy managers nowadays, the biggest challenge is managing yourself. Playing your own game has never been harder.

It’s a sentiment that was echoed by Jon Reeson, the record points-scorer in FPL:

My performance often seems to be hindered by worries about ownership and missing out, rather than going with a hunch, like I might have when I won.

Speaking of regrets I’ve had a few of my own this past week. The Dutch footballer and outstanding FPL manager, Jordie van der Laan – the subject of a recent FFS Community article – was featured on the BBC after he was sacked by his club for attending the Spurs v Ajax Champions League first leg in London without permission. The phrase “Well that escalated quickly” has rarely felt more apt.

Having arranged the match ticket for him, and then attracting the TV camera’s attention by making a VAR sign, I do feel a modicum of responsibility. Jordie responded to the situation with his usual good humour by requesting a ticket to the second leg reasoning that he is, after all, now free. It worked. Following his appearance on Dutch television, a journalist offered him a ticket.

What next for Jordie? Well I can exclusively reveal that he has been asked to take part in the Dutch version of Love Island! Not exactly the career move he is looking for. Quite how this has gone from FPL to Love Island is mind-boggling.

Anyway, in an effort to get Jordie’s football career back on track I would like to share his showreel. There’s an obvious comparison to Peter Crouch given his height, skill, and passion for FPL. Who knows? Maybe Burnley will have a vacancy to fill this summer and Jordie could be the perfect fit. After the events of the past week, nothing would surprise me.

Lastly, for those craving a summer fix of Fantasy Football, Meltens previewed Gameweek 8 in Fantasy Allsvenskan, while TallestJohn looked ahead to Gameweek 6 in the Eliteserien Fantasy.

COMMUNITY TOURNAMENTS

Congratulations to LOKOMOTIV who lifted the Fantasy Football Scout Cup following a narrow 6-point victory over FFS moderator Rotation’s Alter Ego. As Neale revealed in midweek, the final proved to be a tight affair going down to the last match on Monday evening, where a goal from Agüero – captained by Rotation’s Alter Ego – could well have swung the tie in his favour. In the end LOKOMOTIV’s decision to captain Aubameyang proved decisive.

In our third-place play-off, Skogen89 claimed the £50 Amazon voucher as he defeated Ibra-gum 55-43. Well done to all four managers for making it to the final Gameweek of the competition.

In TorresMagic’s Last Man Standing competition, Alan Robertson (aka Villaweeal) emerged triumphant. In a cagey final round which saw all four finalists suffer captain blanks, Alan had 12-point contributions from defenders Laporte and Doherty, together with a goal from Salah, to thank for this 3-point victory. He becomes the sixth winner of the competition, congratulations to him and the other three finalists.

Adam Levy (aka Elvy) the leader of both our main FFS League and our FFS Members League, has now been world number one for the past nine Gameweeks. His closest rival Falah Allawati took a 4-point hit and Triple Captained Agüero, however a rare home blank from the Argentine means Adam still has a substantial 60-point lead going into the final Gameweek.

Yesterday morning, David took at look at how the top two teams compare in the FPL title race – could Salah prove to be the ultimate differential?

A community article from RedLightning examines Adam’s tremendous season. It includes a look at his chip usage and hits, and highlights just how well he’s done since the start of 2019.

Going into the final Gameweek, Adam has a chance to beat the record FPL points total set by FFS member Jon Reeson (aka Westfield Irons) in the 2009/10 season. In a separate community article this week, Jon was kind enough to answer my questions about his record points season.

Mark has increased his lead in the FFS Mods & Cons to 27 points, and moves up to 552nd overall. Rotation’s Alter Ego still occupies second spot with G-Whizz some way behind in third.

Craig Till Reumert is the new leader in RedLightning’s Top 10k Any Season mini-league following an impressive Gameweek score of 71 (-4). He’s up to 72nd overall. This is Craig’s 12th FPL season, and he’s had four previous top 10,000 finishes. He was 109th in our Live Hall of Fame after Gameweek 36 and is most likely even higher now. Andy Sullivan drops to second.

Andrew Hughes takes over at the top of RedLightning’s January to May League, although the previous leader, Vimal Krishnan, is level with him on points. This is Andrew’s sixth FPL season, and at 322nd overall he will easily eclipse his best finish of 7,772 from 2015/16. He’s had 7 green arrows in the past 9 Gameweeks, rising nearly 19,000 places since Gameweek 28.

Ted Maw (aka Rotation’s Alter Ego) increased his lead in RedLightning’s The Last Ten Gameweeks mini-league to 18 points. 8 green arrows in the past 10 Gameweeks have taken him from 46k in Gameweek 27 to 1,405 now.

Andrew Hughes has scored 706 points since Gameweek 29 compared to Ted’s 686, so if Andrew had entered The Last Ten Gameweeks mini-league then he would be leading that too.

Finally, it was announced back in January that the 2019/20 season will see the return of the FFS Head-to-Head leagues. This week Mir, who will be running the leagues, gave us an update – the entry details are as follows:

When FPL opens for the 2019-2020 season a league code will be created on FPL called ‘FFS Head-To-Head League’, which will act as the entry form. We will then take those entries and associate HOF rankings with them, to start putting people into Divisions and Leagues. Right now, entry will close with the start of GW1.

If you are running a community tournament and would like the latest scores included in future Community Round-Ups, please email us a summary of the current leaders and a link to your league, spreadsheet or head-to-head competition at geoff@fantasyfootballscout.co.uk

      You could do Doherty or Robbo (if out) to city/pool defender relatively risk free. Otherwise no.

  7. St. Joseph
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Play Valery
    or keeping it save with Bednarek?

    1. CostaCoffee

    My team
    Foster
    Doherty - Trippier - TAA
    Son - Salah - Redmond - Fraser
    Jimenez - Lacazette - Aguero

    1. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      F of those

      However if you're dropping Lacazette, seems a shame not to get Vardy in

      1. That Fantasy Guy
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Can't afford vardy unfortunately if I want a big mid

  9. Tsssst
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Anyone able to suggest replacements for the following involving a - 4?

    Jimenez replacement up to 9.3m
    or
    Hudson-Odoi replacement up to 6.6m

    TIA

    1. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Vardy in for Jiminez...no brainer

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

        I like the cut of your jib.

        Even if my rival has him? Should I captain Vardy too?

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

    I pussied out and got Bilva instead of Sane. Regretting it already, had nothing to lose

    1. Royal5
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Why would you want Sane? Was shocking against Leicester. Zero chance of starting imo

      1. Park the bus
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Agreed. Heads gone

  11. Fernando Torres
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Best mid 8.2 or less (not Bilva)

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

      Redmond, Fraser

      1. Fernando Torres
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        I have JWP, so was thinking Frasee

    2. Murder On Zidanesfloor
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Siggy, Fraser, Redmond

  12. Gordon Cole
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    a) Son, Hazard to Salah, Fraser
    b) Son, Jimi to Pogba, Wilson
    c) Son, Jimi to Fraser, Vardy

    Would be for a -4.

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

      C

      1. Gordon Cole
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Think that's what I'm veering towards, as my rivals above me don't have either. Cheers.

  13. LewanGOALski
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Doherty or Jimenez to someone worth a -4 hit here?
    3.3 itb

    Defending 2-point lead in ML

    Foster
    TAA - Valery - Doherty
    Salah - Sterling - Bilva - Deulofeu - Redmond
    Kun - Rashford

    Ryan - Jimenez - Duffy - Dunk

    thx!

    1. Smell the Lavender
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Similar to me below, I'm looking to swap Jiminez out and you can see who I;m choosing between. Just not sure atm! I'd leave Doherty as I wouldn't take a hit on a DEF on the last GW, especially as you are ahead and by a small margin. Drop Deulofeu for your new striker. West Ham and Balb and Diop back at CB (BRILLIANT together) and didn't concede against Spurs or Soton.

  14. Smell the Lavender
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    GW38 Bench Boost!!!
    Other than my goalkeepers (hopefully they'll at least get some save points) I'm feeling quietly confident...

    Foster . Etheridge
    Laporte . Robertson . Shaw . Valery . van Aanholt
    Salah. Mane . Sterling . Redmond . Lucas Moura
    Wilson . Long . Jimenez

    Jimenez to:
    a) Rashford
    b) Greenwood
    c) Zaha
    d) Arnie
    (I can't afford Vardy)

    ...and who would you captain? ML leader is 10 points ahead and has Salah, Pogba and Aguero (he tends to go for Aguero but might match my Salah..?). I also want to boost OR of course to secure at least top 10k.

    1. circusmonkey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      A or C
      Probably A.

    2. Now I'm Panicking

      Wow - what a week to BB - good luck!

    3. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      C over D just about.

      Great team to be BB'ing with, good luck!

  15. circusmonkey
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Dos anyone know how many active players are in the Sky game? My rank is 2747, been around 3k all season.What is your rank?

  16. We were somewhere around Ba…
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    2nd in ML, 10 pts behind. Please talk me out of this madness for -8:

    Son -> Mane
    Jimi -> Vardy
    Bilva -> McTominay to pay for it

    My team
    Foster (Ryan)
    Doherty Valery Digne (Dunk) (Morrison)
    Salah Sterling B. Silva Son
    Aguero Jiminez (Gray)

    His team
    Foster (Ryan)
    Doherty Trippier Robertson Valery (Cathcart)
    Mane Hazard B. Silva (Martial) (W-Prowse)
    Aguero Jiminez Zaha

    Best of luck all!

    1. circusmonkey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      yeah probably just Son to somebody. Bilva is a good player.

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

      Similar situation. I narrowed it down to a -4 but I can see the temptation. No right answer. Probably avoid but personally I would go for it. Better to lose swinging than to just cave in. (Am I already settled on losing??)

      1. We were somewhere around Ba…
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Cheers both, yeah hits have rarely worked for me but the temptation is strong this week.

        I'll keep an eye on his transfers and look at keeping it to -4

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

    Trailing by 10. Captain decision is huge, so:
    A) Mane
    B) Salah
    C) Aguero

    He doesn’t have Mane but do I ”need” to captain him for a differential?

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

      Salah

    2. Smell the Lavender
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Depends of the rest of your squads. One of them could get a hat-trick and then THEY could get the differential on you. If you think your other players will outscore his by 10, then it might be worth shielding with your (c) pick. Sounds like he has Salah and Aguero and you don't know for sure which one he'll go with. Of those two, I'd go for Salah. Mane's record at home for goals is slightly higher than Salah's (as he tends to be the assist). Both are going for golden boot and Salah probably just needs one goal to secure it. I have the same dilemma... thinking out loud really...
      Any advice for me below?

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

        Cheers. I’ll see.

    3. We were somewhere around Ba…
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      I'm leaning to Salah. I fancy them to unleash the Kraken against Wolves, there's zero pressure on them now.

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

        Right. I like Salah the best myself.

  18. ToonIn
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Need some help boys!

    Head to head final (using bench boost)

    A) Son & Yoshida to Frazer & Robertson (-4)

    B) Son to Pogba

    Morning all,

    Have already used FT to get rid of Son. Is it worth taking a hit to upgrade Jota or Jimenez?

    Have 1.1 in bank so could go for Fraser, Wilson, Arni look tempting.

    Gunn (Ryan)
    Shaw, TAA, Bednarek (Jonny, Dunk)

    Salah, Mane, JWP, B.Silva (Jota)

    Aguero, Rashford, Jimi

    What are you last minute transfer decisions? What can't you decide on for GW38?

    Leave them in A/B format if possible to make it easy for people to answer 🙂

      Down by 30 in my mini league who should I triple captain?

      A) Aguero
      B) Pogba
      C) Vardy
      D) Redmond
      E) Wilson

      1. Business Cat
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Vardy

        • 6 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Who does your rival own? 30 is quite a lot. Aguero would be my automatic choice but unless he bags 4 attacking returns, you'll be reliant on the rest of your squad to make up the difference

      4. Rinseboy
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Vardy

      5. Lumberjack

        A

      6. Pompel

      7. Diedhiou See That?
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        If your rival has no remaining chips, then Agu for me...

      9. Jedi_Reed
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        C, or E.

        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        You probably have to try to guess who he is captaining and then do something different. For me, it's between Aguero and Vardy

      Son Quaner > ____ ____
      A) Moura Rondon
      B) Fraser Perez
      C) Babel Wilson
      D) Deulofeu Wilson

      Son Hojbjerg > ____ ____
      E) Moura Redmond
      (3-5-2, bench Quaner)

      Leaning towards E but concerned about Valery Doherty Quaner bench - GW38 can be rotation fuelled!

      Gunn
      Robertson* TAA Laporte
      Mané Sterling Eriksen Son**
      Aguero Jiménez Quaner**

      (Lloris Valery Hojbjerg Doherty)

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

        If it's for a hit, play Valery, bench Quaner and just replace Son

      4. Pompel

        Son Quaner -> Babel Wilson

      5. PEP_TALK
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Morning LegoMane.

        I like E.

        Shouldn't need more than 2 subs and Valery and Doherty can do a job if needed imo.

      6. Feyzi
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        C or D but not A or B or E; Wilson more likely to score than Moura or Fraser and Hojbjerg not worth selling

      7. Jedi_Reed
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        C, then D.

    4. Rinseboy
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      start Trippier Monreal or Doherty! please hope guys!

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

        Trip

      2. Legomané
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        I'd probs go with that order but not hugely expectant of a CS from any

      3. Business Cat
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Aurier is supposedly back (and KWP is still around), so I doubt Trippier starts

        I'd go with Doherty over Monreal

        Can you not make a transfer?

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

        Doherty

      5. PEP_TALK
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        I agree with Business Cat in that Trippier could well miss out today after starting in the CL.
        Arsenal's defence is terrible away from home.
        So I guess the best option is Doherty despite facing Liverpool at Anfield (might get an attacking return)

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

      A. Son Jimenez >> Redmond Vardy (-4)
      B. Son jota >> Redmond Mane (-4)
      C. Son Jota Aguero >> Salah Redmond Vardy (-8)
      D. Son Jota Hazard >> Salah Fraser Redmond (-8)

      Nothing to lose 🙂

        I'm doing A and Vardy(c), though it will probably not be Redmond as the mid

            1 CS for Kompany

          Whether any are worth a hit...
          A. Jota to Redmond
          B. Eriksen to Pogba
          C. Llorente to Long

                I have Redmond already and I think he scores around 10 points,but I could be wrong

          4. Pompel
            • 10 Years

              Not the most exciting, but getting rid of Brooks gives more rotation cover at least. Thanks.

              • 8 Years

                Cheeky punt on Mitro or King also good options.

          C) Babel
          Pick one please

          Hazard to Salah worth a hit?
          Have Mane, won't captain MO
          Y or N

          1. how now brown cow

            C
            Only worth if captaining Salah so no

            ACB in that order
            Haz to Salah only if capping

          Best triple captain?

          Aguero
          Salah

          Other?

          1. how now brown cow
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 10 months ago

            Tough. Reckon I'd go Salah.

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

            Easy Salah I'd say

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

            Salah

          4. Radebe_5
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 10 months ago

            Salah

          5. PEP_TALK
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 10 months ago

            Salah

        • how now brown cow
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 10 months ago

          Lloris (Foster)
          Robbo Laporte Valery Doherty (Duffy)
          Sterling Mane Jota (Son Holland)
          Aguero Vardy Jimenez

          With 2ft, son has to go of course, but where would you use the other?

          A - upgrade Duffy to trent
          B - upgrade Holland to a cheapie
          C - jota to another mid
          D - Jimenez to another forward.

            A or D with Wilson

              • 9 Years

              Reckon A with Fraser covers Wilson?

                I did that as I went Jim to Vardy

                  • 9 Years
                  4 years, 10 months ago

                  Thanks both. Another option is Duffy, Son, Holland -> TAA, Fraser, JWP and bench my 3 wolves.

                  Not sure worth a hit though.

                  1. CRO KLOPP

            Not b. A just about but Fraser/Wilson good Wolves replacements if money allows.

            • 10 Years

          • 9 Years

          Down by 14 to rival. My differentials are likely to be Laporte, Redmond, Deulofeu, Wilson.

          Rival has the same fab 4 (Kun, Sterling, Salah, Mane) as I do. He's captained Sterling mostly recently. Ok for me to captain Aguero given the above differentials?

          Final decision of season hinges of expected minutes and point of Hazard. Am going to bring in Salah and captain, so options are:

          A) Hazard+ Son* -> Salah(c) + Bilva/Fraser/Moura/Babel/Antonio -4pts

          B) Son + Verthongen -> Salah(c) + KWP/Chambers -4pts

          C) Son + Jota -> Salah(c) + Westwood -4pts

          D) Hazard -> Salah(for free) and play Jota and/or Duffy

          Pretty simple one, which 2 to bring in and start?

          B) JWP and Vardy (3-4-3)

          Can’t decide whether to swap Hazard to Salah for a -4.

          No hits taken this week, ahead in my mini league by 30. No Liverpool cover

              Did have Salah up till last week. Swapped him out for Hazard with a plan to go to Mane this week. Then Son happened

            Same dilemma I've had all week, can't decide if it's worth it's worth a hit to replace 3 players (Kola, Son & Firmino) or just use the 2FT's to change (Son & Firmino) ... can you help me out, here's my options,

            A) Van Dijk, JWP & Aubameyang (-4)
            B) Salah & Long (and just play Kola or Doherty)

            1. jia you
              • 7 Years

                Auba is the one player I dont own that I feel could go nuts today!

                  • 6 Years
                  4 years, 10 months ago

                  That is what I think ... just scored a hat-trick in midweek EL, scored 2 against Burnley earlier in the season (admittedly at Home), Arsenal need goals today to have any chance of turning around the 8 goal difference to Spurs for a top 4 place and is only 2 goals behind Salah for the golden boot.

                      A shout out to you JIA YOU JIA YOU - the only person who backed my Van Dijk, JWP, Auba for a -4 idea over going Salah & Long for free. - Thanks mate!

                      I sided with you and against popular option yesterday and even captained Aubameyang.

                      86 points in GW38, GW rank of 119k, finishing with an overall rank of 3,612th. 🙂

                      Only regret is because I was unsure and wanted to leave my final transfers of the season as late as possible I got priced out of getting Redmond on Saturday and had to settle for JWP.

              B if your captain will be Salah and A if not, but a hit worth it either way

                4 years, 10 months ago

                I'm just not sure about Salah today so probably wouldn't captain. Had him most of the season, only lost him on WC out for GW34-GW37 so is a player I like but something tells me that today's game might be a quite a tight tense affair, maybe 1-0 Liverpool so A might be better with Van Dijk as my additonal Liverpool player.

            A) Pogba
            B) Bernando Silva

              Tough call. I would punt on A (just). One last hurrah before he leave for Real

              B, at least has some form

              Bilva for me; his xG implies goals are imminent..

            Great post with the heart warming "let's help each other" introduction... I can't solve the below dilemma for the last 24 hours...

            a) Son to Pogba (bench Jimenez), or,
            b) Son to Fraser, Jimenez to Vardy for -4 (bench Hojbjerg)

            Is it worth it?

            Leading ML with 38 points, currently 16k and hope to reach 10k (with TC still available)

              • 10 Years
              4 years, 10 months ago

              A. (but better choices than Pogba imho - Fraser/Moura/Babel/Bilva/Antionio to name a few)
              No point in taking a hit if leading

                Thanks mate, and I agree about not taking a hit, I guess its just the GW38 hype I am after...

                Ha that was my last choice! I really don’t trust Utd to do anything

            • 12 Years
            4 years, 10 months ago

            Should I do Doherty ➡ any DEF, bar City (have 3 players already)?

            Defence is:
            Foster
            TAA - Valery - Doherty

            I am defending 2-point lead in ML, so not easy to take a hit, but Doherty will most likely concede at least 1 on final day

            1. Big Al Stankovic
              • 11 Years
              4 years, 10 months ago

              Probably not worth a hit, but maybe add a pool defender if you can afford it. If not than i guess Southampton look the best for cs this week.

          10. Donhush
            • 9 Years

            Got 2 FTs. I can either do
            A. Firmino/Son>Long/Salah
            B. Firmino/Son/Doherty>Wilson/Pogba/TAA (-4)
            C. Same as B but Zaha in place of Wilson
            D. Same as B but wood in place of Wilson
            E. Same as B but Arna

            I should win all my ML but aiming to improve my OR. Thanks

              Depends if you intend to play Doherty if you have to keep him. I have the exactly same dilemma this morning (if you read a few lines above).

              I want to do A but know I'd then have to play Doherty.

              A if you can bench Doherty and play a better defender from your squad
              B if you need to a better defender for the first XI

            4. Gunned Down
              • 10 Years
              4 years, 10 months ago

              B, if you're okay with taking the hit.

          11. Big Al Stankovic
            • 11 Years
            4 years, 10 months ago

            Need to fund son —> Sterling.
            Already have Gunn, and will have to start both Jota and jiminez. Should I:

            A) Lloris —> 4.4
            B) Jimi —> Deeney/Barnes/Llorente

            Cheers. And good luck to all wether you’re chasing in ML or in OR.

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

              If you are not playing Lloris today then this looks a solid decision (if a bit boring and won't bring you extra points)

              If you go with B then I would choose Barnes as Arsenal's defence is weak and poor away record. (Deeney - Watford on the beach? rested for Cup Final?) (Llorente against Everton defence that has been rock solid for 2 months)

                • 9 Years
                4 years, 10 months ago

                Yeah jimmi to barnes is probably the best of those options

            2. That Fantasy Guy
              • 9 Years
              4 years, 10 months ago

              Jimi to Barnes (Though Deeney would be fun)

            Sorry to ask again. I’ve changed my question as I don’t want any Utd.
            I have 2ft and 0.4 ITB, am not chasing.
            Moving Son+DCL out.

            1) JWP + Vardy
            2) BSilva + Long
            3) Sigg + Wilson
            4) Sigg + Arnie

            1. Big Al Stankovic
              • 11 Years
              4 years, 10 months ago

              1) or 2)
              Guess 1 will score more goals.

              Could need some advice above.

            2. PEP_TALK
              • 6 Years

              I like option 2

            Hi all some advice please
            My team
            Foster
            Doherty - Trippier - TAA
            Son - Salah - Redmond - Fraser
            Jimenez - Lacazette - Aguero
            Ryan - Valery - deulofeu - Duffy

            Son + Lacazette (18mil) to...
            A. Sterling + origi
            B. Sterling + wood
            C. Sterling + Rondon
            D. Mane + rashford
            E. Mane + Zaha
            F. Mane + Wilson

            15 ahead in my mini league also do I start Valery and deulofeu over Jimenez and doherty?

            1. Big Al Stankovic
              • 11 Years
              4 years, 10 months ago

              D.
              Rash will score a couple at OT. Will not be much between mane and salah in this match imo.

              Could need some advice on my pickle above.

              • 6 Years
              4 years, 10 months ago

              I like A because Sterling is against Brighton and Origi could be a real differential if he plays.

              However as you are ahead in the mini-league maybe D is the safer choice.

            A: Son >> Redmond (already have jwp)
            B: Son >> Fraser
            C: Son + Jiménez >> Redmond/Fraser + Wilson/Rashford (-4)

            1. Gunned Down
              • 10 Years

              I'm in the same boat as you! 😀
              Confused as well

            2. PEP_TALK
              • 6 Years
              4 years, 10 months ago

              B rather than A because I think 2 Southampton players would probably carry too much risk.

              If you wanted to take a (-4) and do C because you don't want to play Jimenez then I'd go for Fraser & Rashford.

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

              A or C with Rash

          15. Gunned Down
            • 10 Years
            4 years, 10 months ago

            Please help me out, with this last transfer of the Season 😀

            A. Son to Fraser/Pogba/Someone Else?
            B. Jimenez to Wilson

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

              A - replace Son as Jimi could be a useful sub on a day when rotation might be in full force.

              Who for is up to you! Good luck.

              1. Gunned Down
                • 10 Years
                4 years, 10 months ago

                Yes, that's a good point to consider. Thanks!

              Depends if you are attacking or defending league position.

              A if attacking
              B if defending

            3. NestorC

            Catching 8 point gap, 2 ahead of me.
            A) Son & Firminho out for Salah & Long
            B) Son, Firminho & Jimenez out for Salah, Long & Wilson
            C) Alternative

              How many FT's do you have?

              1. Polar_Bear
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 5 Years

                Two FT

                  4 years, 10 months ago

                  So B would cost you -4 putting the gap to 12. Assume Jimi doesn't score (which he still might cos he's bound to play) then Wilson would have to score at least 1 goal to get the -4 back which is more than likely and anything more is the bonus you need.

                  I think as you are behind then B is worth the risk, had you been ahead I would have said A

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

                    Thanks. I'm thinking it's worth the risk, feeling Bournemouth will score a few today. None of my competitors have Wilson either which makes it more enticing. Was also considering Arnie or Rashford but think Wilson is best.

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

                      You couldn't help me out with my team dilemma. Not too different to yours expect I'm ahead in my mini leagues. 🙂

                      A) Van Dijk, JWP & Aubameyang (-4)
                      B) Salah & Long (and just play Kola or Doherty)

                      Thanks.

                        • 5 Years
                        4 years, 10 months ago

                        I prefer B. I am biased by being stung by Auba too many times, but I fear him being rested and poor form for arsenal in league. Plus I think salah will get a goal. Thinking of captaining him myself. So for - 4 and as your ahead I say B. Hope that helps!

            a) Son + Jota >> Mané + 4.5 (and play JWP) for a hit

            or b) just transfer Son out (in that case for who and should I play Jota or JWP)

            Son and Hazard > Redmond and Salah (C) for -4?

            Will need to beat my rival by 23 points to win and I know he won’t even have Salah

            Hazard to Mane for -4? 1 point ahead in first mini league and 6 points behind in second mini league. Both rivals have Mane.

                Evt Fraser/Redmond + Vardy

                14 poeng opp til topp 10k.

            Jimi to Vardy for a -4?

            I’m still no closer to deciding. I have a really good rank this year, thanks in large part to FFS and the posters - cheers y’all - and a hit at this point could cause a significant swing. But nothing left to play for other than rank, so also looking to gamble.

              • 7 Years
              4 years, 10 months ago

              Wouldn't for a hit! More likely to lose points than gain imo

            Son out for
            A) Pogba (blocking mini league rival)
            B) Fraser (consensus seems to be that the game will be a goalfest)

            Ahead by 6 in my mini league. Opponent has bench boost and 2FT

          Hi all!

          Protecting a 20 point ML lead. Undecided should I just get Fraser or Mili in for Son, or maybe take -4 to try to mirror rival’s team by taking Wilson and Trippier in. What do you think? 1ft, 0.0itb

          My team:

          Ederson
          TAA Robbo Valery
          Mane Sterling(c) Son* Eriksen
          Jimenez Kun Llorente

          Ryan Doherty Hojberg Duffy

          Rival’s team:

          Foster Ryan
          Trippier TAA Laporte Valery Duffy
          Mane Sterling Eriksen Docoure Camarasa
          Jimenez Kun Wilson
