The final Gameweek of the season is finally upon us.
It is make or break for those mini-league positions and for securing final positions in overall rank.
We asked the Scout Network for their views on the best defender, midfielder and forward for Gameweek 38.
Defenders
Ezgjan Alioski (£4.3m) has gone a little under the radar with teammate Stuart Dallas (£5.4m) taking all of the limelight. The Leeds defender has got two goals and three assists so far this season and will be on all out attack against West Brom in the final Gameweek of the season.
FPL Nymfria
The last Gameweek of the season is typically high-scoring so we would go for a defender with high attacking-return probability. Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.7m) has been very impressive since the March international break, he has blanked only once in his last eight games, registering a goal and five assists in that period. Liverpool need to win and win big to hold onto their top-four place and Alexander-Arnold will play a large part in that.
FF Titans
Siempre es difícil apostar por una defensa en la última jornada, ya que suele haber muchos goles. Sin embargo, un equipo que está con el ánimo a tope es el Liverpool, que se enfrenta a Burnley y Crystal Palace, dos equipos que ya luchan por algo en concreto. Andrew Robertson (£7.1m) puede ser una apuesta interesante, ya que es probable que mantenga la portería en cero en al menos de los dos encuentros mencionados.

Dallas is the he highest scoring defender in the game and signs off with a match against West Brom at home. With the Baggies already relegated, I cannot see them putting up much of a fight as they come to an Elland Road hosting fans for a Premier League for the first time in 16 years.

Midfielders
Joe Willock (£4.7m) has scored six goals in as many matches and currently ranks third in the Premier League for minutes per expected goal involvement (xGI) over the same period. He faces a relegated Fulham side in Gameweek 37.
FPL Nymfria
With the race for the top four likely to go to the final game and Mohamed Salah (£12.8m) going for the Golden Boot, that’s enough of a reason for me to back him against Crystal Palace. The fans at Anfield on the final day could be the perfect boost for Salah to finish the season with a flourish.
El Statto
Gameweek 38 will be the last match of Gareth Bale‘s (£9.2m) loan move at Spurs, so he will no doubt want to end it on a high. Bale’s form has been picking up over the past weeks and on a personal note, he is building up his fitness level for Euro 2020.
FF Titans
En la media Diogo Jota (£7.0m) se ha convertido en un problema con la lesión y a ese problema hay que anotar a Jesse Lingard (£6.6m) que ha perdido impulso en la recta final. El mejor reemplazo en caso de tener los fondos suficientes es Mason Greenwood (£7.2m) quien tiene un partido que se antoja interesante vs Fulham en casa y con el regreso de su público.

Forwards
Wouldn’t it be great to plump for Sergio Aguero (£10.3m) for nostalgia’s sake, but who knows how much game time he gets. So that aside, it’s hard to look past Harry Kane (£11.8m), as he tries to sign off the season with the Golden Boot, especially given his goal-scoring record against Leicester City.
FPL Nymfria
Christian Benteke (£5.5m) is owned by just 1.5% of the game and can could be a great differential on the final day of the season. The Palace forward is currently on form, scoring in each of his last four games and preparing for Euro 2020 with Belgium. Benteke also has a good record against Liverpool, scoring seven career goals against the Reds, making them his (joint) favourite opponent. Meanwhile, no Premier League player has registered more shots on target over the last six matches, a period in which Liverpool have given up more big chances than any other side.
FF Titans
En la delantera una situación similar se presenta con Kelechi Iheanacho (£6.2m) quién sigue estando en buena forma, sin embargo sus rivales serán muy difíciles en los últimos dos partidos del torneo. En contraste Michail Antonio (£6.5m) tendrá rivales a la medida y es el cambio recomendado, ya que enfrentan a un débil WHU y cierran contra SOU en casa.
