<h2><strong>Best FPL players for Gameweek 38</strong></h2>
<h3><strong>Bukayo Saka (£10.3m) - Arsenal</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Fixture: Southampton (A)</strong></p>
<p>Bukayo Saka's season has been derailed slightly with a long term injury, but he has now started the last three games and looks fully fit.</p>
<p>Arsenal have a plum fixture on the final day of the season as they take on bottom of the table Southampton.</p>
<p>They have conceded the most goals (84) and also have the worst xGC (82.3) in the league.</p>
<p>With Arsenal having already secured second place, there is a small chance Saka doesn't start but I think it's likely he does and the fixture is almost too good to turn down.</p>
<p>He has both goals and assists in his locker and is Arsenal's talisman. The England international is also the first choice penalty taker.</p>
<p>Arsenal are also the second favourites to score 2.5+ goals (44%).</p>
<p>Saka is at a healthy 42% to score at any time, and our <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/predictions">Hub AI</a> ranks him as the joint highest predicted scorer (6.8 points) for Gameweek 38.</p>

<h3><strong>Mohamed Salah (£13.7m) - </strong><strong>Liverpool</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Fixture: Crystal Palace (H)</strong></p>
<p>Mohamed Salah has had a quiet few months according to his own high standards.</p>
<p>But he is still on to break the goal contributions record, and Arne Slot did say Liverpool would play a full strength team against Crystal Palace on the last day.</p>
<p>At the time of writing he has 28 goals and 18 assists which is a phenomenal feat.</p>
<p>Liverpool have a good fixture on the final day as they welcome Oliver Glasner's Palace side to Anfield. Both sides will be on the 'beach' which means we should see a high scoring game.</p>
<p>We generally see higher scoring matches on the final day of the season, and I think this game could be a fun one. Both teams have good attacks and Liverpool are also the joint-second favourites to score 2.5+ goals (44%).</p>
<p>Salah will surely start and likely play the full game too. The Egyptian is the second favourite (50%) to score at any time and we know he has ample assist threat too.</p>
<p>The Liverpool forward is also the highest predicted scoring player (6.8 points) according to <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/predictions">Hub AI.</a></p>

<h3><strong>Evanilson (£5.6m) - Bournemouth</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Fixture: Leicester City (H)</strong></p>
<p>Evanilson has an impressive 10 goals and five assists in 26 starts this season.</p>
<p>Bournemouth have one of their best fixtures of the season in Gameweek 38 as they welcome already relegated Leicester City to the Vitality Stadium.</p>
<p>Ruud Van Nistelrooy's side have conceded the third most goals (78) with an xGC of 71.4 (third-worst).</p>
<p>Andoni Iraola's team are a good attacking side so we should see goals in this one too. The Cherries are actually the favourites to score 2.5+ goals (45%) next gameweek.</p>
<p>Evanilson is their first choice number 9 so should get plenty of chances against Leicester.</p>
<p>Also with <strong>Enes Ünal (£5.4m)</strong> out for the season he should get plenty of minutes too.</p>
<p>Evanilson is at 49% to score at any time (third) in Gameweek 38.</p>
<p>Our <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/predictions">Hub AI</a> also likes the Brazilian as he's the highest predicted scoring forward (5.5 points).</p>

<h2>Best FPL low-ownership options</h2>
<h3><strong>Harvey Barnes (£5.9m) - Newcastle United</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Fixture: Everton (H)</strong></p>
<p>Harvey Barnes has cemented himself as a first team regular in the latter part of the season.</p>
<p>He has started every game since Gameweek 28 and been getting plenty of minutes too, even with the return of <strong>Anthony Gordon (£7.4m)</strong>.</p>
<p>Barnes has nine goals and five assists in only 16 starts, so his output is very impressive.</p>
<p>Newcastle United play Everton at home in Gameweek 38 which is a must-win game for them.</p>
<p>David Moyes' side don't have anything to play for, whereas Eddie Howe will see this game as a must win, as they vie to qualify for the Champions League.</p>
<p>Barnes has always had high goal threat - in the 2022/23 season he scored 13 goals for Leicester City.</p>
<p>This is a good fixture for him, and with four blanks in his last four games he will be going under the radar.</p>
<p>He has been unfortunate not to pick up any returns over this period.</p>
<p>At only 4.5 percent ownership at the time of writing, he is a fine differential for the final gameweek.</p>

<h3><strong>Marco Asensio (£6.1m) - </strong><strong>Aston Villa</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Fixture: Manchester United (A)</strong></p>
<p>Marco Asensio hasn't had any problems in adjusting to life in the Premier League.</p>
<p>He has three goals and two assists in eight starts, and was really unlucky not to get any attacking returns against Spurs last gameweek. The Spaniard was one of the best players on the pitch.</p>
<p>Aston Villa have a plum tie on the last day against Manchester United, who will have played their Europa League final just four days prior.</p>
<p>Ruben Amorim's side don't have anything to play for either, and will likely field a rotated side again.</p>
<p>Villa on the other hand will have all the motivation in the world, as they will need to win this game to stand any chance of qualifying for the Champions League.</p>
<p>Asensio has already shown he has goal and assist threat, and he should also be the first choice penalty taker too.</p>
<p>He will be a huge differential - his current ownership is at 2.7% .</p>
