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.

    Start Saka or Nketiah?

    1. artvandelay316
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Nketiah

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

      The one who definitely starts.

    3. TyroneGAA
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Same issue here but going for a Nketiah..

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

      Saka

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

    Mount or Vardy Cap. Chasing and rivals will probably go Son or KDB.

  3. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Deadlines moved to the night before next season?

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

      Night after I’d prefer

  4. Il Capitano
    • 3 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    H. Barnes or Toney?

    1. Birdman77
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Barnes

  5. Birdman77
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Leaks, flying pages & filthy benchings…gonna miss these FPL shenanigans

    1. Futureform
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Absolutely!

  6. Better Call Raul
    • 4 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    A) Díaz/Mount + Vardy/Toney
    B) Mane + Sessegnon

    Can't decide which pair from A) or whether to just go with B). No Romero hurts Spurs chance of a clean sheet imo

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Ha nice name

        Mount and vards

    2. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      On FH crazy going Barnes, Maddison, Vardy?

      1. DA Minnion (Former great)
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        I would spread the fun.

      2. Mr. O'Connell
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        I'd pick 2 of them

        1. g40steve
          • 6 Years
          1 year, 10 months ago

          Vardy & Maddy already in

      3. Futureform
        • 3 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        0-0 incoming.

    3. Saka_me_sideways
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Who would rather have?

      A) Barnes
      B) Toney

      1. Birdman77
        • 9 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Who scares you more not owning? Barnes for me

        1. Saka_me_sideways
          • 3 Years
          1 year, 10 months ago

          As a Saints fan, you’re probably right!

      2. DA Minnion (Former great)
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Barnes

    4. Scots Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Sessengnon or Royal?

      1. Mr. O'Connell
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Sess

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

      Would love some help please, very difficult decision. If you already own Kane and Kulu does that make KDB a better option than Son for Salah replacement? Or ignore both and go Mane?

      A: KDB
      B: Son
      C: Mane

      Schmeichel
      TAA Cancelo Alonso Matip
      Salah Kulu Saka
      Kane Nketiah Toney

      Foster Raphinha Gordon White

      1. Birdman77
        • 9 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Honestly B or C. Like Mane though

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

          Yeah I'm not certain on KDB hauls either - Son seems the better move but very eggs in one basket. Is Mane expected to play 90 do we think or whipped off early if the game is settled to rest for final next week?

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

        Son

    6. Danstoke82
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Mount or Diaz?

      1. Birdman77
        • 9 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Diaz

    7. Legohair
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Salah to...?
      A. KDB
      B. Mane
      C. Keep and C

      Im chasing, my mini-league rival doesn't have Salah,Mane or KDB ...

      1. Birdman77
        • 9 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        B

      2. Futureform
        • 3 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Mane

      3. dabber7
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 3 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Definitely NOT C.

      2. @persecuted_by_mods
          1 year, 10 months ago

          -8 locked in! ultra differential to catch rival. Which means he can take a -12 to block most of my team

        • Casualspotted
          • 1 Year
          1 year, 10 months ago

          Dias to R James for a hit or play Thiago Silva? I think Silva will be benched...

            • 3 Years
            1 year, 10 months ago

            I’m guessing you can’t do Kane and Mount? If not then I’d say B

            1. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 6 Years

            Vardy because of home form and it’s only a -4
