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.

    Would you do Salah, Pukki, Schar > Son, Toney, Sessegnon -8?

    1. Maeki2
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

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

      LetsTalkFPL says he’s benched

  22. jaywills

    A) Cash out Sessengon in (-4)
    B) Watkins out Jesus in (-4)
    C) Watkins out Toney in (-4)
    D) Play Cash vs City?

  23. FITZ-G
    • 2 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    With the leaks of Maddison starting and Salah benching, Salah to Mads or L.Diaz for final punt? Mini league already secured.

  24. GE
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Zaha ->

    1) Maddison
    2) Diaz
    3) Bowen

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

      1

    2. Paqueta Rice
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Doing Maddison to Bowen myself I think

    3. GC123
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Diaz - 100%

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

    Richarlison to Vardy and Zaha to Bruno Guimaraes worth a -8?
    Alternatively, Richarlison to Toney or Nketiah for -4?

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

    The site that broke the Martinez rested news also reporting the Chelsea team will be heavily rotated.

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

      Link?

    2. Walter White (WW)
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      OMG. I think he is referring to James

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

    Any Mount news?

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

      Chelsea heavily rotated apparently, but Mount didn't play last game

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

      Rumour he’s injured. But based off seeing 1 post on here. No idea on source

  28. FlockofSeagulls
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Getting cold feet over Alonso. Should I bring in Rudiger instead?

  29. el polako
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Toney & Mane or Diaz & Lukaku ?

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

      Toney Mane

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

    Is saka to Diaz worth a - 4? Y/N

    1. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      No
