FPL Gameweek 38: Quick tips

NEW: Gameweek 37 notes: Vardy’s final party, Isak and Saliba injury latest

⏰ Gameweek 38 deadline: 14:30 – Sunday, May 25

🧢 Captaincy contenders: 🥇Mohamed Salah 🥈Bukayo Saka 🥉Jarrod Bowen

🤕 Key injuries: William Saliba (out), Alexander Isak (doubt)

♻️ Popular transfers in: Jarrod Bowen, Ollie Watkins, Evanilson

👋 Popular transfers out: Alexander Isak, William Saliba, Kevin De Bruyne

It’s the final week of the Premier League 2024/25 campaign! Congratulations to everyone who’s made it so far and a big thank you to all our readers, members and supporters. We hope you’ve had a successful season!

FPL managers have just one more set of decisions to make and if possible, it might make sense to focus your remaining transfers on attacking players.

History tells us Gameweek 38 tends to be a goal fest. Over the past five seasons, the final day has averaged over 20% more goals per game than previous weeks – and there’s been a 5-0 thrashing every time. Thanks to RobT for the graph

RobT’s final day analysis

Which fixtures should we target this week? Expert Chris Tan looks at all the Gameweek 38 fixtures in depth. But in quick summary, targeting Bournemouth attackers against Leicester looks one of the best bets.

Mohamed Salah leads the way for Hub AI’s predicted points but Bukayo Saka and Jarrod Bowen are alternatives for the captaincy.

The drawback with Saka is that there is the possibility of rotation, with Arsenal not having anything left to fight for.

Bukayo Saka’s stats

Mikel Arteta has spoken of finishing the season strongly however and particularly pointed to the chance for David Raya to win the Golden Glove.

Arsenal are among the best bets for a clean sheet this week and despite the goalscoring nature of Gameweek 38, the Gunners’ defenders could be the exception.

This is especially the case when considering William Saliba is among the popular players ruled out through injury.

And speaking of injuries, Alexander Isak is another concern heading into the weekend. Eddie Howe has given him a chance of featuring – and our projection is currently for a start – but keep an eye out for team news over the weekend and immediately before deadline. Lingering doubts could be the excuse managers need to bring in Evanilson for a piece of the Bournemouth attack.
