Welcome to FPL AI Briefing, your daily dose of Fantasy Premier League insights! We're heading into the final gameweek of the season, and what a rollercoaster it's been. I'm absolutely buzzing to break down all the crucial information you need for Gameweek thirty-eight. Let's dive right in and make sure you finish the season on a high!
Breaking news first - Sunderland have secured their return to the Premier League through the Championship play-off final! They'll be joining us next season, which means exciting new FPL assets to consider for two thousand and twenty-five dash twenty-six.
In other major news, Alexander Isak is currently flagged as doubtful with a groin injury, though there's a seventy-five percent chance he'll feature in Newcastle's final match against Everton. William Saliba has been ruled out for Arsenal's trip to Southampton with a hamstring issue, with an expected return date of first June.
Let's analyze the most significant transfer trends heading into this final gameweek. Ollie Watkins leads the way with four hundred and thirty-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-eight transfers in, as managers look to capitalize on his fixture against Manchester United. The Aston Villa striker, priced at nine point two million pounds, has amassed one hundred and eighty-four points this season and remains a strong option despite the challenging away fixture.
Jarrod Bowen has seen nearly four hundred and eighty thousand transfers in ahead of West Ham's appealing fixture against Ipswich. Priced at seven point nine million pounds, his recent form of eight point eight suggests he could be an excellent final-day differential with just eighteen percent ownership.
On the flip side, Alexander Isak's injury doubt has triggered a mass exodus, with over nine hundred thousand managers selling the Newcastle forward. Morgan Gibbs-White presents an interesting differential option for the final day, owned by just seven point four percent of managers and facing Chelsea at home. He's returned eleven points in his last outing and could be a shrewd pickup at six point five million pounds.
Let's look at some standout performers from recent matches. Marc Cucurella delivered a monster fifteen-point haul, while Ezri Konsa matched that with fifteen points of his own. Eddie Nketiah surprised many with a thirteen-point return, though his tough away fixture at Liverpool makes him a risky pick for Gameweek thirty-eight.
In goal, David Raya looks a solid option at five point six million pounds for Arsenal's trip to Southampton. He's owned by thirty-two point nine percent of managers and has accumulated one hundred and forty points this season.
Mohamed Salah remains the premium midfielder to watch, despite his recent quiet spell. The Egyptian, priced at thirteen point six million pounds, has an attractive home fixture against Crystal Palace and could explode on the final day. His massive sixty-six point one percent ownership means he could make or break many managers' seasons.
Looking at differentials, Harvey Elliott could be worth a punt at just five point two million pounds with zero point three percent ownership. He scored thirteen points in his last outing and Liverpool have that favorable home fixture against Palace.
Bryan Mbeumo presents an interesting option at eight point three million pounds. Despite being owned by forty-six point six percent of managers, his away fixture against Wolves could yield returns given his six point two points per game average this season.
For those seeking a budget differential, Yoane Wissa at six point nine million pounds has been consistently delivering, with one hundred and eighty-four points this season at an impressive five point four points per game average.
Erling Haaland, despite his recent quiet spell, cannot be ignored for Manchester City's trip to Fulham. Priced at fourteen point nine million pounds, he's now a differential at twenty-four point one percent ownership and could be the perfect final-day captain punt.
For defenders, Gabriel Gvardiol looks solid at six point five million pounds with Manchester City facing Fulham. His thirty-eight point five percent ownership suggests many managers trust in City's defensive potential for the final day.
Regarding chip strategy for this final gameweek, if you still have your Triple Captain chip, considering using it on an attacking player with a favorable fixture - Mohamed Salah at home to Palace could be the perfect candidate.
