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.

    Mount & vardy starting folks? Any news or thought?

    1. Gazza2000
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Think they both start

    2. swanseag55
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Kane or KDB Captain?

  2. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Play:
    A) Elanga
    B) Richarlison

    One more to play for, probably more likely to start
    Other much better form and stats

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

      B

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

      B

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

      Sounds like it's A

      Richarlison rumoured to be out of the starting line up apparently.

  3. bitm2007
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Is Salah and Watkins to Kane and Dias worth a hit ? Will be captaining Son either way.

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

    Would you transfer out KDB for Son if you had no other fires to put out. Still will go Kane as Captain.

    1. Die Hard
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      No

    2. Aubamewho
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      I'd keep KDB

    3. Dreaming of glory
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Hell no. I'm edging between son & kdb for captain and there is nothing it in. City could pop off 5 at home to sign off in style.
      After a few sicknotes this week spurs would be happy with a 2-0 win today and easing through the game

  5. Railwayman
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Who to sell for a hit?

    A) Broja/Weghorst for Toney

    or

    B) Coutinho for Mount* /Diaz/someone else up to 9mil. (I own Foden already)

    I am only 6 points clear in my ML.

    *rival owns Mount,

  6. LFC
    • 1 Year
    1 year, 10 months ago

    A) Vardy and Diaz

    B) Kane and raphina

  7. Erange
    • 2 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Which option is best?

    A. KDB + Bowen
    B. KDB + Toney
    C. Kane + Bowen

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

      C

  8. Lord Flashheart
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years

    chances od starting for?

    A mount

  10. Tom
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Trying to close a 40 point gap. Would you prefer;

    A. Kane, Diaz (Mount Cap)

  12. bso

    1. School of Poch
      • 8 Years

    Last moves

    A: Raph > Bowen/Maddison/7.0 (start over Nketiah/Toney/Matip)
    B: Salah > Anyone

    Schmeichel
    TAA Cancelo Alonso Matip
    Salah Kulu Saka
    Kane Nketiah Toney

    Foster Raphinha Gordon White

    1FT 0.7ITB

    1. Gazza2000
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      B

      1. School of Poch
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Is this because you think Salah doesn't start? and who to?

    2. Dreaming of glory
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Salah to son or kdb

      1. School of Poch
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Which one? I might lean towards KDB because of already having Kane and Kulu but also Son captain could be explosive

  22. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years

    If you found out that Maddison was starting, would you swap him for Diaz or Bowen or stick?

    1. Azzy
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Stick! Home to Southampton seems like a 8+ pointer for him

      I have Jesus and if I could stretch to Vardy I probably would…

      Depends on your bench. Jesus may not play (if he does I fancy him to return)

    3. MFC86
