FPL Gameweek 38 is here, and this is the last chance to make one more move in those mini-leagues. At the start of the season, I promised this would be a marathon, not a sprint, and that following the advice throughout would set you up for a strong rank. It’s been a season full of swings, from annoying benchings to missed sitters and late clean sheet wipeouts, but overall it’s been a successful run. So let’s finish properly with five final buys for the last gameweek.
Table of Contents
Danny Welbeck (6.3m)
Welbeck is a fun final-day punt, especially with Manchester United on the other side. He has always enjoyed facing his old club, and Brighton still have plenty to play for with European qualification on the line. That usually brings a more open match, and United have little left to chase beyond the Bruno Fernandes assist record, which only adds to the appeal. If this turns into the kind of end to end game Brighton like, Welbeck can absolutely be involved. He’s not just a sentimental pick either – this is a fixture with real upside for attacking returns. With the possibility of goals at both ends, he feels like a strong final-day option.
Konstantinos Mavropanos (4.5m)
Mavropanos has been in excellent form lately, and the stats back it up. Three goals in his last eight games is a huge output for a defender, and he’s been among the best scoring defenders in that stretch. He’s also ranked third for DEFCON in that period, which gives him a strong floor even before you factor in attacking threat. West Ham absolutely need a result against Leeds, so the urgency should be there from the start. That matters on the final day, when motivation can separate the good punts from the great ones. At just 2.0% ownership, he’s a proper differential for managers looking to jump rivals with a bold but logical defensive pick.
William Osula (5.5m)
Osula is the sort of final-day punt that can make a huge difference if it lands. Newcastle need goals if they want to finish strongly at Fulham, and that puts attacking involvement firmly in play. Osula has been the one most likely to shoot and accumulate chances recently, which makes him a very interesting low-owned option. At only 1.5% ownership, he’s the kind of player that can separate you from a lot of the pack in one move. Of course, it’s a gamble, but that’s exactly what Gameweek 38 is for if you’re chasing. If Newcastle score, Osula could easily be right in the middle of it.
Morgan Gibbs-White (7.5m)
Gibbs-White is another excellent final-day midfield punt, particularly if you want someone with both shot volume and the ability to create from deeper areas. Bournemouth will need to attack, which should open up space for transitions and give Forest chances to play on the front foot. Gibbs-White’s ball striking is a real weapon, and he showed that again with his finish against Manchester United last week. He’s the type of player who can turn a lively game into a big fantasy return very quickly. In a week where you want upside more than safety, he’s a very appealing route into a potentially open match.
Bruno Guimarães (6.9m)
Guimaraes is the kind of pick that can win you a mini-league on the final day. He already has eight double-digit hauls this season, which shows just how explosive he can be when things fall his way. Fulham away should be competitive, but if Newcastle get chances, Guimaraes is always likely to be involved somewhere. His attacking numbers since returning from injury haven’t been as strong as earlier in the campaign, but his game has taken on a different shape recently. Averaging 12.66 DEFCON per game over the last three matches gives him a much stronger floor than many midfielders. That combination of tackling volume and explosive upside makes him a superb final-day captaincy-style punt.
