Right, let's hit the headlines fast. Gameweek thirty-eight results are all in. The big one — Man City fell two-one to Aston Villa at the Etihad. Arsenal won one-nil at Crystal Palace. Man Utd hammered Brighton three-nil. Sunderland beat Chelsea two-one, and West Ham thrashed Leeds three-nil. The season is officially over, folks.

European qualification and World Cup stars to look out for are already being discussed, so get those squads in early.
Now, it's Wednesday, which means we're going full defensive contribution mode. Who scored the most defensive points in Gameweek thirty-eight? Let's get into it.
Transfers In — three players worth picking up.
First up, Maguire, Man Utd defender, priced at four point four million pounds, with just one point seven percent ownership. In Gameweek thirty-eight, he played the full ninety minutes and kept a clean sheet against Brighton, earning six points. He's kept seven clean sheets this season and has chipped in with two assists and a goal. His expected points for next season look solid if United shore up defensively. At four point four million, he's an absolute budget gem. Verdict — Good pick for budget value.
Next, Robinson from Fulham. Priced at four point nine million pounds, owned by just zero point nine percent of managers. Robinson played the full ninety minutes as Fulham kept a clean sheet against Newcastle, picking up six points including a bonus point. He's kept four clean sheets this season, and Fulham's defensive record has been impressive — conceding just nineteen goals. Low ownership, clean sheet, bonus point — ticks all the boxes. Verdict — Essential if you're building budget-friendly defence next season.
Third transfer in — Shaw from Man Utd. Four point five million pounds, one point one percent ownership. Shaw played eighty-one minutes in the three-nil win over Brighton and picked up a clean sheet, netting six points. He's accumulated ten clean sheets this season, which is genuinely impressive output for a full-back at that price. With United conceding just twenty league goals this season, that's a backline worth targeting. Verdict — Good pick heading into pre-season planning.
Now, Transfers Out — three players to consider moving on.
First, Gabriel from Arsenal. Seven point three million pounds, a massive forty-five point four percent ownership. Now, Gabriel only played forty-five minutes at Crystal Palace in Gameweek thirty-eight, earning just one point. He's been an absolute monster this season — eighteen clean sheets, three goals, five assists, two hundred and nine total points. But with the season ending, there's no rush yet. However, if you're doing end-of-season housekeeping, his high price and single-point haul in the final game is worth noting. Verdict — Hold. Incredible season asset, but monitor closely for pre-season.
Second, Tarkowski from Everton. Five point eight million pounds, twelve point six percent ownership. He played the full ninety against Spurs but Everton lost one-nil, earning just three points. Eleven clean sheets this season sounds great, but Everton conceded forty-eight goals — that's a leaky backline. At five point eight million, there are better defensive assets for that price. His price has nudged up slightly, but value is questionable. Verdict — Sell. Use those funds on sharper defensive options.
Third, Mac Allister from Liverpool. Six point one million pounds, one point eight percent ownership. He played ninety minutes as Liverpool drew one-one with Brentford, picking up just one point. His form rating is just two point zero, and his price has dropped four places this season. Seven clean sheets as a midfielder sounds decent but his attacking returns have dried up — two goals, five assists all season. Verdict — Sell. The numbers don't justify six point one million.
Differential Picks — under ten percent ownership, big potential.
First differential — Mukiele from Sunderland. Four point six million pounds, eight point seven percent ownership. One hundred and fifty-one total points this season, averaging four point seven points per game. Three goals, five assists, nine clean sheets — from a defender at four point six million, that is elite production. Sunderland have had a brilliant season and Mukiele has been central to it. His expected points for next season sit at four point eight. If you're building for the new campaign, this man is a must-watch. Low price, high ceiling.
Second differential — Truffert from Bournemouth. Four point eight million pounds, five point three percent ownership. He picked up six points in Gameweek thirty-eight against Nottingham Forest, including an assist and a bonus point. Eleven clean sheets this season, six assists, one goal — all for under five million pounds. His form is six point five and expected points sit at six point seven. Bournemouth have been defensively solid and Truffert consistently gets forward. Brilliant differential value.
Captaincy pick and one key tip.
With the season wrapped up, there's no captaincy decision needed for Gameweek thirty-eight — all fixtures are complete. But here's your key tip heading into the summer — keep a close eye on Maguire and Shaw from Man Utd's backline. With twenty goals conceded all season, that defence is elite at the budget end of the market. And don't sleep on Mukiele from Sunderland — at four point six million, he could be your budget defender of the season in two thousand and twenty-six to twenty-seven.
