There is team news from two more Premier League managers to bring you ahead of Gameweek 38.

Rubem Amorim and Ange Postecoglou faced the media on Saturday, with the headline updates from their press conferences below.

For the injury news from the other 18 top-flight clubs, check out this article.

TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR

Son Heung-min (foot) and Cristian Romero (toe) will miss Gameweek 38, while Yves Bissouma (knock) is “50/50”.

Dejan Kulusevski (knee), Timo Werner (hamstring), James Maddison (knee), Lucas Bergvall (ankle) and Radu Dragusin (knee) also remain out.

“There will be a couple of absences. Romero has been struggling with his toe for quite a while, so we’ll leave him out and probably Sonny, as well, because his foot has still not healed. They’ve both made a massive effort to get to the final. Bissouma got a knock in the game, so he’s kind of 50/50 at the moment. The rest of them, physically anyway, are ok.” – Ange Postecoglou

Despite the Lilywhites letting their hair down over the last few days, Ange Postecoglou insists they’ll be in good shape on Sunday.

“I really feel you need to celebrate your achievements properly and that was kind of my message to the boys.

“It’s important to make the experience as memorable as possible so that when I ask them to climb the mountain again, there’s a reason for it. It’s fair to say they took my words literally and certainly enjoyed themselves over the last couple of days!

“The boys are all good, we’ll be good tomorrow.” – Ange Postecoglou

MANCHESTER UNITED

Jonny Evans (unknown), Diogo Dalot (calf), Leny Yoro (foot) and, ahead of schedule, Joshua Zirkzee (hamstring) were all back in the United squad for Wednesday’s defeat in Bilbao.

That left only two players on the injury list.

Lisandro Martinez (knee) is definitely out for what remains of 2024/25, while Matthijs de Ligt (knee) was only doing individual training as of midweek.

There are no fresh disclosed injuries in the press conference but Ruben Amorim said to MUTV that he will “be careful” with some players, such as Yoro, on the final day.

 “No, there are some situations, like Leny. We have to be careful. We had that in the last [home] game before the final, I think it was West Ham, on his foot. 

“We’re going to take care of some situations so as not to compromise next season. The rest, we want to win the game so we are going to put a squad together.” – Ruben Amorim

    You are chasing! Which players are worth -4 even if you have to go crazy?

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 months, 2 days ago

      I guess any player is worth -4 today because after tomorrow it’s not going to matter.

  2. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    7 months, 2 days ago

    If Trippier wont start, play:

    1. Milenkovic for CS odds
    2. Munoz for attacking return

    Which one is more probable?

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 months, 2 days ago

      Probably Munoz getting an tracking return is more likely than a Forest cleanie.

    2. One for All
      • 7 Years
      7 months, 2 days ago

      2

    3. Atimis
      • 9 Years
      7 months, 2 days ago

      Tempted by both at the same time lol, won’t Forrest game end up like 0:0?

      1. No Kane No Gain
        • 7 Years
        7 months, 2 days ago

        I can see Chelsea winning late on if it’s 0-0 as Forrest know they have to win for champions league to be possible

        1. Atimis
          • 9 Years
          7 months, 2 days ago

          Reckon the one I start will blank anyway

    If there is any justice, Sheff Utd will win this given they finished 14pts ahead of Sunderland. It should just be the top 3. None of this play off nonsense.

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 months, 2 days ago

      I want Sunderland to win.

    2. DeSelby
      • 3 Years
      7 months, 2 days ago

      If there is any justice Sheff Utd will lose given their manager berated and belittled an official for eating a sandwich.

      I love the play offs. The Championship play off final is arguably the biggest game of the season.

      1. Merlin the Wraith
        • 9 Years
        7 months, 2 days ago

        Worth 2.5x what Spurs get for getting Champions League. Madness!

  4. One for All
    • 7 Years
    7 months, 2 days ago

    Any chance we will get any early news tomorrow if Isak is starting?

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      7 months, 2 days ago

      We don't tend to get reliable Newcastle leaks

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 months, 2 days ago

      There's a few reliable ones

      This guy is but he's occasional

      1. One for All

        Thanks

  5. Skout
    • 6 Years
    7 months, 2 days ago

    Chances of leaks before deadline tomorrow? In particular Arsenal..

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 months, 2 days ago

      Arsenal a little less likely perhaps

      Man City, Liverpool and Newcastle United may be more likely

  6. indiealexx
      7 months, 2 days ago

      Trying to protect rank at 4.2k. Is Marmoush - Evanlison worth a -4?

      1. Tonyawesome69
        • 7 Years
        7 months, 2 days ago

        No

    • OutofShorts
      • 9 Years
      7 months, 2 days ago

      Defending 30 points w 2 free transfers. Main differential are Bowen/Wissa to my De Bruyne/Marmoush.
      Should I simply cover those 2 or chase rank w Evanilson? Am 13K and would love ton 10.

      1. Eightball
        • 5 Years
        7 months, 2 days ago

        Evanilson is better than Wissa this week.

        1. tokara
          • 11 Years
          7 months, 2 days ago

          Not player but is Bournemouth in the mood to play

          1. Eightball
            • 5 Years
            7 months, 2 days ago

            Well no I don't think he is a better player in general but Bournemouth have a better fixture imo. I think I would prefer him this week personally. Caveat, I have both haha.

      2. One for All
        • 7 Years
        7 months, 2 days ago

        Cover Wissa and Bowen should score more I reckon .

        1. OutofShorts
          • 9 Years
          7 months, 2 days ago

          Thanks reckon I’ll cover and hope Brentford score a few

          1. tricpic
            • 16 Years
            7 months, 2 days ago

            Go with Bowen and Evanilson compromise

          2. One for All
            • 7 Years
            7 months, 2 days ago

            Good luck I'm on top of my ml too.

    • sirmorbach
      • 9 Years
      7 months, 2 days ago

      A. Isak to Evanílson
      B. Muñoz to Bradley or Kiwior, keep Isak

      1. Goodfeathers
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 months, 2 days ago

        A, although I’d say it’s worth waiting for early team news if you can. If Isak starts then I think I’ll keep.

      2. Tonyawesome69
        • 7 Years
        7 months, 2 days ago

        Don't understand the Bradley pick

    • Kinder Mbueno
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 months, 2 days ago

      If you can't get to Saka (or dint want him) who's your next choice from arsenal attack?

      1. Tonyawesome69
        • 7 Years
        7 months, 2 days ago

        Martinelli

      2. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 months, 2 days ago

        Rice

        Trossard if he's starting

      3. DA Minnion (Former great)
        • 13 Years
        7 months, 2 days ago

        Ode

    • Ruinenlust
      • 7 Years
      7 months, 2 days ago

      Saka or Bowen?

      1. Eightball
        • 5 Years
        7 months, 2 days ago

        Bowen.

      2. Haa-lala-land
        • 5 Years
        7 months, 1 day ago

        SAKA

        1. Haa-lala-land
          • 5 Years
          7 months, 1 day ago

          I meant BoWen

    • Skout
      • 6 Years
      7 months, 2 days ago

      Better option this week, Evanilson or Isak (if we get a leak he starts)

    • Ohh1454
      • 8 Years
      7 months, 2 days ago

      Is Welbeck the best attacking option from Brighton ? Looking for high ceiling differential (C)

      1. Tonyawesome69
        • 7 Years
        7 months, 2 days ago

        Yes

      2. Goodfeathers
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 months, 2 days ago

        Yes I’d say so.

      3. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
        • 9 Years
        7 months, 2 days ago

        Yes, him or Mitoma I would say
        I'm also considering Welbeck C.

      1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
        • 9 Years
        7 months, 2 days ago

        He will do well wherever he ends up. Like all the players who leave Man U.

        1. x.jim.x
          • 11 Years
          7 months, 2 days ago

          Sancho is flying

          1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
            • 9 Years
            7 months, 2 days ago

            Oops, most players, not all. My bad.

      2. Ginkapo FPL
        • 14 Years
        7 months, 2 days ago

        Of course, Garnacho is better than a relegation club

        1. x.jim.x
          • 11 Years
          7 months, 2 days ago

          I know you’re “bantering” but is he?

          1. Ginkapo FPL
            • 14 Years
            7 months, 2 days ago

            Yeah, mid table for sure. I put him alongside McNeil

            1. x.jim.x
              • 11 Years
              7 months, 2 days ago

              McNeil has 2 more goal involvements in half the appearances hahaha

      3. FFS ManU
        • 3 Years
        7 months, 2 days ago

        FFS!

    • IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 9 Years
      7 months, 2 days ago

      Everyone's got Mbeumo, so is it nuts to swap him for Saka for a hit? I guess it is, but it sounds fun

      1. Tonyawesome69
        • 7 Years
        7 months, 2 days ago

        You're taking a hit to remove a nailed 90 mins, pen taker and on other set pieces for a hit which needs to pay off in 1GW?

        1. Tonyawesome69
          • 7 Years
          7 months, 2 days ago

          On other set pieces which needs to pay off in 1GW?*

        2. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
          • 9 Years
          7 months, 2 days ago

          Sounds ridiculous, right

      2. Conners
        • 7 Years
        7 months, 2 days ago

        Mbeumo is my captain this week.

        There's every chance Saka gets hooked early given they have nothing to play for, with the young/ fringe players getting some minutes like we've seen in previous seasons.

        1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
          • 9 Years
          7 months, 2 days ago

          Yeah, good points. I'll keep him. Cheers mate.

    • DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 13 Years
      7 months, 2 days ago

      Kdb to Bowen for free.
      Yes or no.
      Have Mamoush and Gvardiol.

      1. FFS ManU
        • 3 Years
        7 months, 2 days ago

        Yes, definitely imo.

    • Eightball
      • 5 Years
      7 months, 2 days ago

      Raya
      Gvardiol Kiwior Livramento (Munoz, Williams)
      Salah Mbeumo KDB Bowen Eze
      Wissa Evanilson (Cunha)
      AM: Pep

      I'm 15 points off top10k so thinking of going Cunha to Welbeck and captian probably on Bowen. I think going a little bit differential along with AM gives me a slight chance at cracking 10k.

      Start one:
      A) Eze
      B) KDB

      Something in my head says to start A but B is probably the sensible option assuming he actually starts (not sure I will be around for the deadline)

    • RogueBlood
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 months, 2 days ago

      3.8itb 2ft what changes would you suggest?

      Raya
      Sessegnon, Munoz, Gvardiol
      Salah, Mbuemo, Rogers, Bowen
      Isak, Marmoush, Wissa

      Verb, Konsa, Kilman, Rashford

      1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
        • 9 Years
        7 months, 2 days ago

        Isak Rashford -> Welbeck Saka
        Play Konsa over Sess

      2. Atimis
        • 9 Years
        7 months, 2 days ago

        Konsa over Sess

      3. Tonyawesome69
        • 7 Years
        7 months, 2 days ago

        Start Konsa over Sessegnon.

    • Captain Mal
      • 1 Year
      7 months, 2 days ago

      Counter attacking masterclass by Campbell and Hamer.

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Decent goal

        Not interested in Saka. Would need a hit.

        Your help is appreciated please for my final dilemma of the season

        Which two would you play from

        Robertson (CPL)
        Sarr (liv)
        Neto (for)

        Any ideas would be welcomed

        1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
          • 9 Years
          7 months, 2 days ago

          Sarr Neto

      4. AnfieldLad
        • 11 Years
        7 months, 2 days ago

        KDB -> Saka (-4)

        Y / n ?

        1. Tonyawesome69
          • 7 Years
          7 months, 2 days ago

          No

      5. Kinder Mbueno
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        7 months, 2 days ago

        Anyone worth taking out for an Arsenal midfielder?
        Salah, Kdb, Bowen, Mbuemo, Murphy

        1. Tonyawesome69
          • 7 Years
          7 months, 2 days ago

          KDB or Murphy

        2. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
          • 9 Years
          7 months, 2 days ago

          Murphy

      6. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 months, 2 days ago

        Sunderland mucking it up

        Sheffield United looking like they are going up

        2 nil VAR review

        1. AC/DC AFC
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          7 months, 2 days ago

          1 nil I suspect

      7. Kaneyonero
        • 9 Years
        7 months, 2 days ago

        Trossard and Evanilson for Elanga and Cunha?

        1. Tonyawesome69
          • 7 Years
          7 months, 2 days ago

          No guarantee Trossard starts

      8. DeSelby
        • 3 Years
        7 months, 2 days ago

        Haha. VAR (and the referee) so, so bad. And I'm rooting for Sunderland.

        In no world was that guy who was offside blocking the line of sight of the keeper. Sheesh.

      9. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
        • 9 Years

        This good to go or anything worth a hit?

        Pope
        Gvardiol Muñoz RAN
        Palmer KDB Mbeumo Eze

        Or

        Or

        Isak to Welbeck (c)

        ?!

      11. Danstoke82
        • 11 Years
        7 months, 2 days ago

        Which one to do?

        A) Wood to Evanilson
        B) Isak to Evanilson

        1FT. Thanks in advance!

        1. Tonyawesome69
          • 7 Years
          7 months, 2 days ago

          Who is the bench cover for Isak no-show?

          1. Danstoke82
            • 11 Years
            7 months, 2 days ago

            One of Livramento, Sarr, Munoz

            1. Tonyawesome69
              • 7 Years
              7 months, 2 days ago

              Probably gamble on keeping Isak and sell Wood. Which defenders are you starting? Prefer to start Livramento this GW

              1. Danstoke82
                • 11 Years
                7 months, 2 days ago

                May sell Wood then and hope on Isak.

                I can’t decide on defender. Currently starting Kiwior, Gvardiol and Wan Bissaka.

                Who would you drop out of those for Livramento?

        TLDR version: Is Bowen worth a hit ?

        Full version: am in my mini league cup final with £££ on the table

        Rival has Bowen, Marmoush & Dias as differentials - Bowen is the one I fear the most (my differentials to cover the latter two are Watkins & Kiwior + Pep AM)

        The only way to get Bowen is to take a hit …

        A) is it worth it? if yes as second sub do I;

        1) sacrifice Isak for Evanilson (play Murphy, Rogers sub)
        2) sacrifice Murphy for Nwaneri (4.5 budget) (play Isak, Rogers sub)
        3) sacrifice Rogers for Minteh (5.1 budget) (play Isak, Murphy sub)
        4) Tripps to AWB (Play Isak & Murphy, Rogers & AWB sub)

        ????

          I think selling Isak makes most sense on what we know now.
