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.

            Yeah I agree, I’m 20 points ahead ML already taken a -4.

            It’s between play big Geldy or take another -4 for Wilson.

    1. BobbyDoesNotLook
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Who says heavy

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

        Few users here

    2. FPL Pillars
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Yes I would say so

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

        Damn. So Azpi right wing back.

        I’m thinking of benching James now. Dammit!

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

      Who said heavy rotation?

    4. Big_Andy_GAWA
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      I don't think he'll start after Tuchel's comments. More likely to start than Alonso, though, IMO.

  18. Claudio555
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Any news regarding VVD to start or not?

    1. Viper
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Benched apparently

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

      Andy LTFPL says he's benched.

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

    Play Ben Davies or Pukki?

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

      Pukki party. See above

  20. Oscar Slater
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    From a very reliable source...Son has not arrived on the team bus at White Hart Lane!!!!!

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

      The old ones are the best ones

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

        They certainly are!

    2. Atimis
      • 7 Years

      Ban

    4. BobbyDoesNotLook

      😀 which team is arriving at WHL

  21. Luggy10
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Sessegnon or Rudiger ?????

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

    Olsen was really terrible for Sheff Utd earlier in the season
    Makes we want to switch to KDB (c) if he's in goal!

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

      I'm on him!

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

      Olsen is great for Sweden mate

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

        That's what I thought when we signed him but he made a number of howlers!

  23. Casualspotted
    • 1 Year
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Rudiger or R James? Who to buy

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

      I've just shipped James for Rudi, because Rudi is nailed. Happy to forego the upside!

    2. toystory2wasok
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      james

    3. Luggy10
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Rudiger must be more likely to start with it being his final game.

  24. cutch
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Sorry, pages flying.

    A) KDH
    B) Ben Davies
    C) Matip (that would be a -4 hit)

    1. Rbyrne95
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      B

  25. Viper
    • 14 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    In isolation, Kane or Mané?

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

      Probably Kane since he has a contagious virus 😉

      1. The Mentaculus

        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 2 Years

    2. The Train Driver
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Any channel showing all highlights live from all the games?

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

        How does that work?

        1. @persecuted_by_mods
            1 year, 10 months ago

            Like a goalzone type thing BT do it for the champions League

          • The Train Driver
            • 8 Years
            1 year, 10 months ago

            CL has that, it's a broadcast showing all highlights from all the games, chances, goals, cards etc. Obviously not live but very close to it.

            1. The Train Driver

        • 3 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        1ft 0.1m itb. What could be done here? Salah out for who? Do you think both mount and havertz will start?

        ramsdale
        taa alonso cancelo white
        mount havertz salah saka gordon
        kane

        (dubravka cash broja dennis)

        a) salah -> son/mane
        b) havertz -> maddison

      5. toystory2wasok
        • 10 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        cash >
        A) cancelo (have laporte)
        B) james
        C) robbo
        D) TAA

        and...

        1) richarlison > jesus (have KDB)
        2) zaha > mount
        3) save -4 and play both

        good luck all!
