Five players who could help you win your FPL mini-league in Gameweek 38

Seven-time top 10k finisher Zophar looks at the Premier League’s in-form attacks and leakiest defences before picking out Fantasy assets to consider for Gameweek 38. He also reveals his own FPL team for the final day of 2020/21.


With the season drawing to a close, there are still mini-leagues to be won and ranks to be improved upon. In this piece, I will be looking at five players who I feel can give you the push you need.

Spoiler alert: I have resisted the temptation to add Timo Werner (£9.2m) to this list…

Who are the form attacks?

That’s it from me for the 2020/21 season. It has been a challenging one for all of us in many ways but I hope that playing FPL has provided some sort of escape from it all. I hope you have enjoyed the content this year, both on the podcast and in these articles. I look forward to seeing you again next year.

      Good shout. Must win game for Liverpool so there will be goals and TAA is involved in almost everything. DCL to Bamford makes sense but for me I’d only do it if FT not -4.

      I’m doin Shaw+DCL to AA and Antonio for -4. I still have Bruno. So do it!

    5. BeWater
      • 3 Years

    Current team:

    Martinez | Sanchez
    TAA | Digne | Coufal | Dallas | Holding
    Salah | Mane | Bale | Lingard | ES Rowe
    DCL | Bamford | Antonio

    2FT and chasing an 11 point lead in a mini league. Appreciate guidance or advice.

    1/ transfers: Digne>Lowton or ??? and Bale>Aubameyang/Raphinia/Son or ???
    2/ push harder and take -4 of DCL>Inheanacho?
    3/ Bench Sanchez, Lowton Holding, ESR and go 3-4-3 or ???

    As always very grateful for the community wisdom!

    Crazy to do
    Kane and jota to mane and bamford?

    Mendy
    TAA shaw dallas coufal
    Salah son greenwood lingard
    Kane DCL
    (forster vydra holding jota)

    1. The Fantasy Doctor
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Wouldn’t sell Kane.

  7. TKC07
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Current Team: 2 FTs, 0.3 itb
    *Pope*
    AWB | Dallas | N Phillips
    Salah | {Jota} | {Bruno} | Lingard
    {DCL} | Bamford | Kane
    Bench: Martinez | Greenwood | Konsa | Mitchell

    Which transfers would you suggest, leading ML with 15 points and opponent has BB and already own Mane?
    1. DCL, Bruno, Jota => Antonio, Mane, Raph for -4 and bench Greenwood.
    2. Bruno, Jota => Mane, Raph/Harrison and start Greenwood by benching DCL.
    3. DCL, Jota => Wood, Raph/Harrison and bench Greenwood.
    4. Any other suggestions?

    1. Boom XhakaLacaSaka
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      2 raph

  8. Boom XhakaLacaSaka
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Martinez
    Dallas Holding Phillips
    Esr Mane (c) Salah Raph Mahrez
    Antonio Kane

    Schmeichel DCL Webster kwp

    1.3 0ft

    Any hits needed on this team???

    1. BeWater
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Nothing worth a hit there. DCL will come on if Mahrez is a no show.

  9. Rassi
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    DCL, Tekkers --> Antonio, Bamford for free seems like a no-brainer. Right?

    1. Machine_Gunnerz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Yup

  10. _Gunner
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Which is better?

    A- Vydra + Bruno + Zaha > Antonio + Mane' + ESR (-8)

    B- Zaha + Bruno > Lingard + Mane' (-4)

    Currently leading ML by 5 points

    1. Boom XhakaLacaSaka
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Wouldnt be taking a hit if its just 5 points

    2. _Gunner
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      or C- DCL + Bruno > Antonio + Mane' (-4)

  11. Machine_Gunnerz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    What’s everyone doin with Bruno? Try to fix other places so hope he plays...

    1. _Gunner
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      selling for Mane' I think

    2. lets talk about 6
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Selling for mane for -4. Too much money in him to blank

  12. MHG
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    I lead my ML by 25 points and my rival's differentials include Lingard and Foden. I'm thinking Foden is the most dangerous and I may need to get him in to block. Man City could be dangerous?
    Or better to just get in Mane who is likely to get some points?

    1. BeWater
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      I would just get Mane.

      1. MHG

    Proper heart vs head going on in bringing in Mane or Aguero...

    Absolutely should go Mane, probably going Aguero. 😐

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Both are meh picks, might as well go with heart

  15. FPL_Pugster
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Currently 49/69 ahead in my cash ML. Think the lead is safe so looking to target high rank. Current team and transfer options.

    1FT / 0.6ITB

    Martinez
    TAA/Digne/Holding
    Salah/Son/Raphina/Jlingz
    Kane/DCL/Bamford

    Subs: McCarthy/Mahrez/El Mohamady/Veltman*

    1)DCL>Antonio (Free)
    2) Digne+DCL > Robbo+Antonio (-4)
    3) Digne+DCL+Mahrez > Robbo+Antonio+Mane (-8) bench Jlingz/Son ?

    Thoughts appreciated guys.

    1. BeWater
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Just DCL to Antonio.

      1. FPL_Pugster
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Worried that I don't have a playing bench though? Although starting 11 is probably nailed right?

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

          You don't take hits in GW38 to strengthen your bench

  16. diesel001
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Martial is still out right? If so, then a second team Man Utd should be:

    Henderson
    Williams Bailly Tuanzebe Telles
    Matic VDB
    James Diallo Mata
    Greenwood

    Take off Greenwood after 60/65 mins.
