Reflecting on Gameweek 37, my roster produced a decent 74-point return.
While my defensive unit chipped in 18 points, my powerhouse midfield stole the show, racking up 34 points thanks to elite goal contributions and heavy defensive action points. Up front, my dual-striker setup paid off handsomely as Erling Haaland delivered, and Newcastle’s William Osula exploded for a massive 13-point haul courtesy of a brilliant brace. Now, it is time to optimize my final lineup structure to lock in those mini-league victories.
Defensive Rearrangements and the Senesi Transfer For the final day of the season, I am shifting into a traditional 4-4-2 blueprint. Using my single free transfer to secure Bournemouth’s Marcos Senesi is a savvy tactical pivot. The Cherries are chasing European qualification, and Senesi’s elite baseline bonus potential and aerial threat make him a strong candidate for a massive double-digit haul.
Paired with Bart Verbruggen, Bijol, and Nico O’Reilly, this backline has an excellent statistical foundation. Armband: Bruno Fernandes for the Record My FPL Team for GW-38 is going to be captained by Bruno Fernandes. Sitting on 20 assists, the Manchester United captain has tied the single-season Premier League record.
Facing Brighton, Bruno will undoubtedly play his heart out to claim the record outright. With his elite underlying creativity and security on penalty duties, he is a phenomenal alternative to the heavily-captained Erling Haaland. The Bench Dilemma: Benching Bukayo Saka Bold choices define the final day, and benching Bukayo Saka against Crystal Palace is certainly one of them.
