Gameweek 38 of Fantasy Premier League is usually pretty crazy. Let’s quickly look at our FPL GW38 Tips.
Craze scores in GW38 of previous seasons
Analyzing gameweeks 38 from previous 4 seasons, we noticed that we use to see a lot more goals in the last gameweek of the season. Here are the data:
| Season | Average number of goals in GW1-37 | Number of goals in GW38 | The craziest score | Players with 3 goal involvement |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2017/18 | 26,68 | 31 | Tottenham 5:4 Leicester | Mahrez (1G+2A) |
| 2018/19 | 28 | 36 | Crystal Palace 5:3 Bournemouth | Zaha (3A) |
| 2019/20 | 27,08 | 33 | Manchester City 5:0 Norwich | De Bruyne (2G+1A), Aubameyang (2G+1A) |
| 2020/21 | 26,89 | 31 | Leicester 2:4 Tottenham | Fornals (2G+1A) |
| 2021/22 | 27,89 | ? | ? | ? |
Gameweeks 38 from previous four seasons were high scoring, with at least 4 more goals then the average goals per gameweek. We saw some crazy matches there and players who registered 3 goals involvement.
Will history repeat in GW38 of 2021/22?
We think so.
FPL GW38 Tips
Our tips for GW38:
- Pick players from teams that still have something to play for (Manchester City, Tottenham, Arsenal, Liverpool)
- Pick attacking players, if we are going to see a lot of goals, you want not just attacking mids and forwards, but also attacking defenders (TAA, Cancelo, James…)
- Salah and Son are still in the race for golden boot – picking one of these two as your captain is safe option. We prefer Son over Salah
- If you have nothing to lose, and your mini-leagues are decided, take -4 or -8 hit to bring in players you think that have high potential to score 10+ points
- If you have nothing to lose, Mount and James are great differential captain option
- Target Norwich vs. Spurs game. We think that this is the game where the most points are going to be – spread among Spurs players: Kane, Son, Kulusevski, Sessegnon…
- Differential for GW38: Lukaku
- Expect unexpected, it is going to be crazy gameweek.
- One player will highly likely register 3 goals involvements, try to estimate who that is and bring him in (our guess is Son).
- It is the last gameweek of the season, enjoy it
