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.

    How is this free hit

    Schmiechel
    Robbo james alonso sessegenon
    Son mount kdb maddison diaz
    Kane

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

      Good one. Get some Brentford. Robbi, James, Alonso, Mount, Maddison are not nailed imo.

      1. bring_on _the_fantasy
        • 13 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Maddison not nailed after recent performances? Don't be soft lol

      2. Hazardous1983
        • 13 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Barnes instead of maddison?

    2. Eh, just one more thing ...
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Got good bench cover to combat James/Alonso potential benching?

  4. Rash
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    If salah does not start, would that mean Diaz plays on the right? From what I've seen.. he don't seem as much of threat playing there compared to on the left?

    1. WHUFCSmith23
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Why couldn't Minamino play again?

  5. GCM0803
    • 3 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Have FH and BB
    Current team:
    Sanchez ramsdale
    Cancelo taa coady guehi schar
    Son mount kdb saka kdh
    Richarlison ings mateta

    What gets more points:
    1) 1FT and BB
    2) FH

    1. g40steve
      • 6 Years

  8. merin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    GTG?
    Or anything worth a hit?

    Schmeichel
    TAA Robbo Cancelo James Laporte
    Son(c) Foden Mount Zaha
    Richarlison

    (Foster Pukki Gordon Watkins)

    2.5 ITB, 0 FT

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Is Richarlison going to start?

      1. merin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        I don’t know. Do you?
        I could ship him out for Toney for a hit…

  9. Buck The Trent
    • 12 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Would you do Laporte to James for -4 ?

    1. FPL_ UP_Down
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      We don’t even know if James will start !

    2. Eh, just one more thing ...
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      No way

  10. Energetics
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Dubravka
    Schar Cancelo James Robbo
    Son(c) Mount Maddison Zaha
    Kane Toney

    Is Schar to Sessognon worth a -4??

    13 points of 1st in a Mini League for £1300

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

      No unless you're sure Schar will not start

  11. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    we need early team news

    1. Big boy Bowen
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Just had an excellent idea - for the final week only to keep everyone involved in the game, they should reduce the deadline so that it’s 30 mins before kick off.

      That would actually be a good move for them to have more people vested!

      1. Big boy Bowen
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Or maybe 45 mins before so it updates just in time for kick ofd

        1. Big boy Bowen
          • 7 Years
          1 year, 10 months ago

          *off

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

        No it won't be fair to people in different timezones. They are asleep or something or have important jobs or something.

        1. Big boy Bowen
          • 7 Years
          1 year, 10 months ago

          It’s one week - they can plan for that 🙂

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

            I know... Was being sarcastic hehe. I just hate the new deadline.

            1. Big boy Bowen
              • 7 Years
              1 year, 10 months ago

              I don’t mind it and tbf it is fairer, to have one week to know all the starters especially in GW38 where there’s lots of goals would be awesome!

  12. FCRS BGD

      1 year, 10 months ago

  21. We Will Klopp you

    Ramsdale (Sanchez)
    Taa Cancelo Alonso Laporte (VVD)
    Son Kulu Saka Mount (kdh)
    Kane Nketiah (Cucho)

    Saka to Diaz worth a -4 or stick?

    1. We Will Klopp you
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Could alternatively do nketiah to toney for a - 4 too

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

    Chances Mount will start?

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

      I think he will

    2. bring_on _the_fantasy
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      extremely high considering he was benched mid week

    3. Eh, just one more thing ...
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Rumours (just rumours) he’s not fully fit …

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

    Richa to Toney for -4, or start Pukki?

    1. Bielsa's Blue Bucket
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Pukki

    2. merin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

    Transferring Couthino out. Can either do Maddison for free or Mount for -4. I’m leaving ML by 15 and rival has Mount. Worth the -4 to cover?
