The Complete Guide to FPL Gameweek 38: Tips, captains, team news and best players

So, it all comes down to this.

Gameweek 38 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) is where overall ranks are etched onto your season history page and where mini-leagues are settled.

Hits will be taken, captaincy punts will be gambled on and the occasional chip will be deployed. Or perhaps you’re doing none of these things, sitting tight while all around you opt for the all-or-nothing approach.

Whatever your strategy or moves this week, we’ve got all of our content for the upcoming Gameweek on this page to help with your transfer dilemmas and chip-related conundrums.

Don’t forget that the later-than-usual FPL deadline is at Sunday 22nd May at 14:30 BST, although it might not be a bad idea to have your moves confirmed a little before this cut-off point given the likely spike in traffic that the site will experience.

      Toney

  6. Sam (Team Sam)
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Percentage change of Salah starting?

    1. Sam (Team Sam)
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      *chance

    2. Qaiss
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      75%

      Can imagine he’s absolutely desperate to start for his golden boot chances

    3. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      50%.

    4. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Extremely low. Expect a cameo from the bench

      1. Mozumbus
        • 2 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        This

    5. Sailboats
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      50% chance to start imo

    6. BobbyDoesNotLook
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      33

    7. N1ceguyEdd1e
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Starts on bench I reckon... then depends on score after 60 mins if he plays or not...

  7. Cheshire Duck
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Schmeichel
    White - TAA - James - Emerson Royal
    Son - Mount - Saka - barnes
    Kane - Nketiah
    Bench : Dubravka - Holgate - Countinho- Weghorst

    1 Ft, 4 ITB

    No sure about James, Coutinho and Barnes

    Should I do Coutinho + Barnes > Eriksen + Bowen ? for a hit and hope for James to play

  8. Tonyawesome69
    • 5 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Mount or Diaz?

    1. Dannyb
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Diaz

  9. Earn your Spurs
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    A request for next year please

    Can RMT be fixed so when you use a FH last week it shows your real team for the coming week, not the FH team?

    1. notlob legin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Totally agree

  10. WhatWouldYourZlatanSay
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Schmeichel
    TAA-Cancelo-Matip-James-Cancelo
    Son-Mount-Maddison
    Kane-Jesus

    Genuinely considering 5 different captains, though I know it should be Son or Kane.
    Who for the armband?

  11. Casualspotted
    • 1 Year
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Kulu or Barnes ?

    1. Dannyb
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Barnes

    2. donkey73
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      barnes.

    3. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Kulu

    4. BobbyDoesNotLook
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Kulu

    5. Mozumbus
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Kulu if starts

  12. donkey73
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Play Ramsdale or Schmeichel ?
    confused, thinking of motivation and opponents

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Arsenal - higher CS odds

    2. WhatWouldYourZlatanSay
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      I’d go Schmeichel. Arsenal have no choice but to attack and hope. There will be space for a liberated (albeit still not great, Everton).

  13. rdamjan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Barnes od Maddison on FH?

    1. Dannyb
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Toss a coin, nothing much in it imo

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Maddison set pieces

  14. tinear
    • 4 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Ramsdale
    TAA Cancelo Laporte Alonso
    Salah KdB Kulu Mount Saka
    Nketiah

    Dubravka Mateta Cash Gelhart

    1. Salah to Son
    2. Salah Saka to Son Maddison -4 (will be the same team as ML leader leading 50 pts)
    3. Salah Nketiah Cash to Kane Maddison Sess -8

    1. donkey73
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      salah+alonso -> son+robo

      1. tinear
        • 4 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Interesting. Any news about Alonso leaked?

  15. Eightball
    • 3 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    A) Richarlison
    B) Mateta
    C) Toney (-4)

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Toney

    2. Mozumbus
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      B

  16. Rabb05
    • 3 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    If you've won your mini league and objective is to go for a decent rank rise (currently 40k) who do you captain?

    A. TAA
    B.James
    C. Kdb
    D.Mount
    E. Son

    3. donkey73
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      TAA as a differential. CS and assist very easy points

    Worth -8?

    Have Son

    1. Jafooli

      1 year, 10 months ago

      Kevin de Haaland?

    2. Ajax Hamsterdam
