            <p>With just one gameweek to go this season, we run you through the best final day fixtures to target in FPL Gameweek 38, and some standout final day scorers from previous seasons, before picking out the best players for the weekend.</p>
<p>This includes a look at which Premier League teams and players are 'on the beach' and who still has something to play for in FPL Gameweek 38.</p>
<p>We also roll back the years, reviewing which players performed well on the final day of the previous four FPL seasons.</p>

<h2 class="css-1dbjc4n r-1adg3ll r-1udh08x">Which teams have something still to play for?</h2>
<p>With the title and top four secure, European qualification is the main talking point at the upper end of the table.</p>
<p>Aston Villa, Brentford and Spurs will still be aiming to maximise points in the battle to qualify for Europe.</p>
<p>There are a lot of permutations around who finishes where in terms of the European places, but all of these teams theoretically have something still to play for.</p>
<p>At the other end of the table, Nottingham Forest and Bournemouth are now safe, so they may be teams worth targeting.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, Everton, Leicester, and Leeds still have everything to play for, as two of them will be relegated while the other stays up - depending on their final day results.</p>
<p>Southampton are already relegated, so we may see plenty of rotation as the Saints host Liverpool, which could make <strong>Mohamed Salah (£13.1m) </strong>an interesting <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/who-is-the-best-fpl-captain-for-gameweek-38/">Gameweek 38 captain</a> option.</p>

<h2 class="css-1dbjc4n r-1adg3ll r-1udh08x">Which of these teams have the best fixtures for attacking returns?</h2>
<p>For attackers, there are 14 favourable matchups in Gameweek 38, but we've picked out the best of the bunch, based on which teams have something still to play for, and which are more likely to rotate.</p>
<p>Crystal Palace at home to the recently safe Nottingham Forest could be a standout fixture for someone like <strong>Eberechi Eze (£5.7m)</strong>, closely followed by Everton hosting Bournemouth, who are in the same situation in terms of their fixture, but with much more on the line.</p>
<div id="attachment_55004" style="width: 1034px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-55004" class="size-full wp-image-55004" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/GettyImages-1488108800.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="650" /></p>

</div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The algorithm fancies Leeds up against a shaky Spurs defence too, as well as Arsenal and Manchester United who both have favourable home games.</p>
<p>Leicester could do well at home to a West Ham side who have the distraction of a European final, while Liverpool will fancy themselves away to relegated Southampton.</p>
<div class="css-1dbjc4n">
<p><img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-54971" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Screenshot-2023-05-22-at-12.48.03-1024x688.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="688" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
</div>
<h2 class="css-1dbjc4n r-1adg3ll r-1udh08x">Which of these teams have the best fixtures for defensive returns?</h2>
<p>For defenders, there are only five favourable matchups in Gameweek 38.</p>
<p>Arsenal lead the way with a promising home game against Wolves, although the Gunners have struggled defensively in recent weeks.</p>
<p>Crystal Palace then show up highly against Nottingham Forest, who struggle for goals away from home, with Everton's game against Bournemouth coming in just behind once again.</p>
<p>Manchester United defenders such as <strong>Luke Shaw (£5.3m)</strong> are expected to perform well at home to Fulham, who are already safe.</p>
<div id="attachment_52253" style="width: 1034px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-52253" class="size-full wp-image-52253" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/GettyImages-1454052754.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="683" /></p>

</div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>If West Ham rotate ahead of their Europa Conference League final, it could give Leicester a much greater chance of a clean sheet, especially given how important the game is to the Foxes.</p>
<p>Budget keeper <strong>Daniel Iversen (£3.9m) </strong>could do well again, off the back of a 9-point haul last week.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-54972" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Screenshot-2023-05-22-at-12.50.21-1024x687.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="687" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2 class="css-1dbjc4n r-1adg3ll r-1udh08x">Who has performed well historically on the final day?</h2>
<p>We've taken a look at the top performers over the last four seasons, and there are a few stand-outs.</p>
<p>Popular defensive picks from this season <strong>Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.8m) </strong>and <strong>Fabian Schar (£5.1m) </strong>were in the top three highest scorers in 18/19, with 15 points each.</p>
<p>At least one Manchester City player has been in the top ten in every one of these seasons, and in the first instance it was <strong>Riyad Mahrez (£7.5m) </strong>with a 13 point haul.</p>
<div id="attachment_54915" style="width: 1034px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-54915" class="size-full wp-image-54915" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/GettyImages-1419850614.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="659" /></p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>In 19/20, three current Manchester City players made the top ten, and we could see the likes of <strong>Jack Grealish (£7.1m) </strong>in the points against Brentford on the final day this season.</p>
<div id="attachment_53751" style="width: 1034px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-53751" class="size-full wp-image-53751" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/GettyImages-1465482752.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="688" /></p>

</div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Arsenal defender <strong>Kieran Tierney (£4.6m) </strong>produced a goal and assist on the final day of 19/20, and he could be useful again this season with the Gunners' usual left-back <strong>Oleksandr Zinchenko (£5.1m)</strong> out injured.</p>
<p>Mikel Arteta's side host Wolves on the final day, who have seriously struggled to find the back of the net away from home this season.</p>
<div id="attachment_31036" style="width: 1034px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-31036" class="size-large wp-image-31036" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Screenshot-2021-01-06-at-05.48.56-1024x684.png" alt="fpl blank gameweek tips" width="1024" height="684" /></p>

<p><strong>Kevin De Bruyne (£12.2m) </strong>topped the standings in 19/20 with 19 points, and the Belgian makes the top ten in 20/21 too, alongside two more Manchester City players...</p>
<div class="mceTemp"></div>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>On the final day of 20/21, goalkeeper <strong>Ederson (£5.4m) </strong>came through with an 11-point haul, a feat which his owners will be hoping he can repeat against Brentford - if he starts, that is.</p>
<div id="attachment_32876" style="width: 1034px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-32876" class="size-full wp-image-32876" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/GettyImages-1229897720.jpg" alt="fpl gw38 tips" width="1024" height="683" /></p>

</div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Last season (2021/22) we saw three explosive midfield options go big on the final day, who could all do so again this season - <strong>Ilkay Gundogan (£7.4m)</strong>, <strong>James Maddison (£7.8m)</strong>, and <strong>Dejan Kulusevski (£7.8m)</strong>.</p>
<div id="attachment_50935" style="width: 1034px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-50935" class="size-full wp-image-50935" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/GettyImages-1240638436.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="683" /></p>

</div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>You may prefer Kulusevski's teammate <strong>Son Heung-min (£11.5m)</strong> if your budget can stretch to him, with the South Korean also making the top ten on the final day last season.</p>
<p>Both will fancy their chances at Elland Road, as will Spurs' top scorer Harry Kane.</p>
<div id="attachment_54992" style="width: 1034px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-54992" class="wp-image-54992 size-large" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Screenshot-2023-05-22-at-15.04.35-1024x286.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="286" /></p>

<h2 class="css-1dbjc4n r-1adg3ll r-1udh08x">Who should we target in FPL Gameweek 38?</h2>
<p>Putting all of this together, we should have a pretty good idea of who to target in Gameweek 38.</p>
