<h2>The Best FPL Transfers for Gameweek 38</h2>
The final day of the FPL season can make or break mini-leagues across the globe.
Huge personal hauls – think Theo Walcott&#8217;s hat-trick against West Brom in 2014-15 – can turn round what seemed to be almost insurmountable deficits.
Okay, so picking that kind of high-scoring outlier is down to luck as much as judgement.
And the lure of what look like the best fixtures – Chelsea at home to Watford, Spurs away at Norwich – will understandably dominate our Gameweek 38 thoughts.
But what if there are in-form players from in-form teams hiding in plain sight?
Speaking of which&#8230;
Keeping a clean sheet in a 0-0 draw at home to Norwich is not the proudest of achievements for a football team this season, but it sparked a great run for Brighton.
Over the eight matches they&#8217;ve played from that Gameweek 31 fixture, the Seagulls have kept a league-leading four clean sheets and conceded just seven goals – only Man City, Liverpool and Spurs have let in fewer.
Those three sides are joined by two others – Leicester and Chelsea – with more overall FPL points earned than Graham Potter&#8217;s men.
But Leicester played two more matches, and Chelsea one, during that time.
And while the 13 goals Brighton have scored is beaten by six teams, they&#8217;ve gone for quality over quantity &#8211; the 18 big chances they&#8217;ve had is the fourth-best figure in the league, better than the likes of Liverpool, Arsenal and Leicester.
So there&#8217;s form. Is there also the fixture?
A visit from West Ham is, on the face of it, not so good.
But the Hammers have won just once across their last seven away matches &#8211; against good ol&#8217; Norwich in Gameweek 36.
And that was the only time they&#8217;ve kept a clean sheet on the road since a Gameweek 16 goalless draw at Burnley.
West Ham have scored a very respectable 26 goals on their travels this season – only four teams have managed more.
However, since Gameweek 22, their away threat has plummeted.
The seven goals in eight road trips is the second-worst record in the league (only Watford, with five, can beat it), as is the one clean sheet they&#8217;ve produced.
It gets worse when you drill down into the <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/opta/" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c="1" title="FPL Stats by OPTA - Player and Team Stats">stats</a>.
David Moyes&#8217; side have attempted 57 shots during that spell, 18 of which have been on target. Both tallies are the worst in the league.
So there&#8217;s the prospect of Brighton points at either end of the pitch.
A quick check of the top 30 transfers in for Gameweek 38 reveals only one Brighton player – Danny Welbeck (£5.9m).
Fair enough. The striker, after all, has produced returns for four straight games, with two goals, three assists and five bonus points.
But that run pales besides that of his teammate, Leandro Trossard (£5.9m).

Since that Norwich stalemate in Gameweek 31, the midfielder has hauled in five of his six starts.
His four goals, three assists and eight bonus have helped him to 54 points &#8211; a total only bettered by Heung-Min Son (£11.2m) and Kevin De Bruyne (£12.1m).
So fantasy managers have been piling into the bargain bucket Belgian, right? Well, yes, his ownership has doubled over that period.
To 2.6%.
Yeah, but Potter loves to rotate his team, so Trossard will never be a nailed-on starter, right?
He&#8217;s started 32 matches (and been subbed on in two others) this campaign – only keeper Robert Sanchez (£4.5m and 36) can top that.
And only he and defender Marc Cucurella (£4.9m) have played more minutes than Trossard&#8217;s 2,810.

That defensive pair, by the way, are also well worth a look.
Then again, who brings in a goalkeeper for the final match of the season?
So maybe concentrate on Cucurella, a man with 41 points to his name since Gameweek 31 – only Marcos Alonso (5.7m) and Joel Matip (£5.2m) can better that among defenders.
The 3.9%-owned Brighton full-back is another differential option as well – unsurprising seeing as we all seem to have spent the last few weeks entirely ignoring the points to be had from the soaring Seagulls.
Can we afford to do that one more time?
