It’s the final gameweek of the Fantasy Premier League, but it’s definitely an opportunity to surge up the rankings or up your league leaderboard.
Key lessons
The big lesson from previous years is that gameweek 38 is often one full of goals. Looking back across the past five seasons, there’s always been more goals in gameweek 38 than on average across the season. In 2020-21 there were 3.1 goals per game in gameweek, compared to the season average of 2.69.

Jarrod Bowen looms as a great pick-up at 6.9m for someone who’s scored the fourth most points in FPL this season. Bowen has 27 points in the past two gameweeks, wit the Hammers taking on Brighton away.
