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.

        Looks good. Done all you can, sit back and enjoy 🙂

      2. ILOVEBAPS
        • 12 Years

        Awesome

      3. Eleven Hag
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 3 days ago

        James Alonso n mount could all be benched ?

      4. BobbyDoesNotLook
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 3 days ago

        Great. Some risk with potential Che rotation, though I havent heard anything reliable.

        I have only Alonso.

      5. Perthite
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 3 days ago

        Personally I would probably not have 5 defenders in GW38 with cleansheets not going to be a focus.

      6. Union_Jacks
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 3 days ago

        Not sure about 5 at the back in GW38

    10. Londongeezaa
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 3 days ago

      Any monkeypox rumours been started?

    13. Casualspotted
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 3 days ago

      Rudiger, Azpi or R James. Who to buy???

    14. Deulofail
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 3 days ago

      A) Laporte
      B) Matip
      C) Vardy (-4)

      1. Londongeezaa
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 3 days ago

        If A or B get a clean sheet you will need a Vardy double

    15. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 3 days ago

      Best option here???

    18. ididnt

      Ramsdale or Dubravka?

    19. Barnabus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 3 days ago

      Appreciate any advice here. I'm 20 points behind my ML rival. Our teams:

      Mine:
      Schmeichel
      Laporte Alonso Emerson
      KDB Son Jota Maddison Bowen
      Kane Toney
      Sanchez Gelhardt Amartey Johnson

      Rival:
      Pickford
      Cancelo Robbo TAA James
      KDB Son Mount Saka
      Richarlison Nketiah
      Foster Brownhill Kelly Dobbin

      I've already done my 1 FT, bringing in Bowen for Zaha. Currently have the armband on Son, but wondering if there is a benefit in captaining Kane/KDB instead as ML rival will most likely captain Son. Any thoughts?

      Bench :
      A alonso (got James and mount)

    23. JabbaWookiee

      Gimme a yay or a nay - in case I’ve missed any news.

      Salah + Richarlison > Kane + Maddison...

      1. Mozumbus
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 3 days ago

        Good one if not for hit

      2. Londongeezaa
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 3 days ago

        Mount/Foden seem to be the popular choices

    24. NETFLIX & CHILWELL
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 3 days ago

      Chasing 13 points.

      Rival won’t have Son, I do.

      He will (K)ane.

      Do I go (S)on or (V)ardy as a punt?
