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.

    https://mobile.twitter.com/SmuelMartinFPL/status/1528360611641434117

    1. Ian J
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Well I have both, but they are the only two I wasn’t sure on - but I will not be transferring them out - if they play they haul

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

    If the site crashes and you’ve waited til now, you’ve only yourself to blame

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

      Has that happened before? That would suck.

  10. Dollyems15
    • 2 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Start mbuemo or tavares?

  11. Paqueta Rice
    • 3 Years

      1 year, 10 months ago

      Had the same decision, went for Richa. Scared of all the talk of him being rested though

    B: Raphinha

      1. Sun Jihai
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years

    1. xuwei
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
