Here's what you need to know in the next seven minutes to nail Gameweek thirty-eight. It's the final day of the season, every team kicks off at the same time, and the deadline is Sunday the twenty-fourth of May at one thirty in the afternoon. Do not sleep on this one. Let's go.
Right, the rapid-fire news bulletin. First up, Crystal Palace have injury concerns heading into the final gameweek, so if you have any Palace assets, keep a very close eye on team news before the deadline. Stach is reportedly injured too, which is bad news for Brighton owners. Speaking of Brighton, their boss has been talking about his Gameweek thirty-eight line-up, so there could be rotation and selection surprises at the Amex on the final day. Second, Casemiro started for Man Utd against Forest in Gameweek thirty-seven, with reports suggesting it was something of a farewell appearance. Bruno Fernandes was brilliant again, picking up two assists in that three two win. Third, Gibbs-White returned for Forest and Anderson impressed, so Forest have some options in attack going into Nott'm Forest versus Bournemouth in the finale. And fourth, Newcastle's Barnes and Wilson both started their Gameweek thirty-seven fixture, with Burn coming off the bench, worth noting for the Fulham versus Newcastle fixture in Gameweek thirty-eight.
Now let's get into the transfers. Here are the top three players to bring in for the final gameweek.
First, Watkins at eight point seven million pounds, owned by thirteen point four percent. In Gameweek thirty-seven against Liverpool, Watkins was absolutely sensational. Two goals, one assist, three bonus points, fifteen points in total. That is elite. His expected points for Gameweek thirty-eight are eight point one, and he faces Man City at home. Now, the fixture looks tough on paper, but Watkins has fourteen goals and four assists this season, one hundred and fifty-four total points, and he is in the form of his life with a form score of eight point six. On the final day of the season, when teams may be rotated and tired legs are everywhere, a striker this hot is almost impossible to ignore. Verdict: Essential.
Second, Calvert-Lewin at five point eight million pounds, owned by thirteen point three percent. He scored and kept a clean sheet in Gameweek thirty-seven for Leeds against Brighton, banking seven points. He has nineteen thousand one hundred and sixty-eight transfers in this gameweek alone. Leeds travel to West Ham in Gameweek thirty-eight, and West Ham have a difficulty rating of just two for that fixture, meaning it is a genuinely favourable match-up. He has fourteen goals this season and is great value at that price. Verdict: Good.
Third, Raya at six point two million pounds, owned by thirty-six point four percent. Arsenal still have their Gameweek thirty-seven fixture to play against Burnley, with eighteen clean sheets this season and six point two expected points for Gameweek thirty-eight against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park. Raya has sixty saves this season and has been the most reliable goalkeeper in the game. If you need a keeper upgrade, this is your man. And with twelve thousand four hundred and thirty-two transfers in this week alone, the market agrees. Verdict: Essential.
Now for the top three transfers out ahead of Gameweek thirty-eight.
First, Welbeck at six point four million pounds, owned by nine point one percent. He only got sixty-four minutes in Gameweek thirty-seven and blanked. There are eleven thousand three hundred and seventy-four transfers out this week, and Brighton face Man Utd in Gameweek thirty-eight. His form is dropping, his price is drifting, and with Stach potentially injured, the Brighton attacking setup is uncertain. With one gameweek left, you want certainty. Verdict: Sell.
Second, Igor Jesus at five point nine million pounds, owned by just two point four percent. He played eighty-three minutes against Man Utd in Gameweek thirty-seven and returned just two points, blanking completely. He has only six goals and six assists all season, and Nott'm Forest host Bournemouth in the final gameweek, which is a neutral fixture on paper. The form score of five point eight sounds reasonable but for a forward, you need more. Verdict: Sell.
Third, Beto at five point one million pounds, owned by three point four percent. Everton lost one three to Sunderland in Gameweek thirty-seven, and Beto played seventy-two minutes and returned nothing. He faces Spurs away in Gameweek thirty-eight. With his form flat, his price falling, and the fixture tricky, there is no compelling reason to hold. Verdict: Sell.
Right, let's talk differentials. These are under ten percent ownership, so if you want to gain ground in your mini league on the final day, these are the names to consider.
Mané at four point two million pounds, owned by just one point three percent. He scored and claimed three bonus points in Gameweek thirty-seven against Fulham. Wolves host Burnley in Gameweek thirty-eight, which is a very winnable fixture. At this price, he could be the budget enabler that funds a premium pick elsewhere. Eleven points this gameweek shows there is life there.
Kroupi Junior at four point six million pounds, owned by six point three percent. Bournemouth have yet to play their Gameweek thirty-seven fixture, so he is fresh and travels to Nott'm Forest in the finale. He has twelve goals this season and is a constant penalty and set-piece threat. Six point three percent ownership means a haul here could be season-defining in your mini league.
Flemming at five point three million pounds, owned by just zero point four percent. Ten goals this season for Burnley, who face Wolves in Gameweek thirty-eight. This is end-of-season chaos territory, and Flemming is the kind of player who can run riot in a nothing game. Ultra-differential, maximum upside.
Finally, the captaincy pick. Watkins is the captain recommendation for Gameweek thirty-eight. Fifteen points in Gameweek thirty-seven, eight point one expected points, and the kind of form that demands the armband on the final day of the season. The fixture against Man City is the only concern, but backing form over fixture in Gameweek thirty-eight is almost always the right call.
One key tip: with all fixtures kicking off simultaneously on Sunday the twenty-fourth of May, make sure your squad is set well before that one thirty deadline. There is no coming back from a late scratch or rotation surprise when everything starts at once.
