Who are the best FPL Challenge GW38 picks? Any player who features for a winning team this week will receive an additional eight points. We use Opta data to find the top players to target in the Premier League.
The Premier League title may already have been decided, with Arsenal crowned champions for the first time in 22 years on Tuesday night, but the FPL Challenge winner is still to be determined.
Good luck to Joseph Valkin, a self-confessed avid reader of this column, who sits third in the overall leaderboard heading into the final Gameweek – just seven points off top spot.
Winning is the name of the game in the final week of FPL Challenge. For Final Victory, all players who finish on the winning team will be awarded an additional eight points.
So, which teams are most likely to win this weekend? Thankfully, we have the Opta supercomputer predictions on hand to help forecast just that.
We’ll be putting our trust in the supercomputer by picking one player from each of the six teams it deems most likely to win in GW38.
Goalkeeper
David Raya: Arsenal vs Crystal Palace (A)
As long as he isn’t still nursing a hangover from Arsenal’s title celebrations, there’s no safer place to begin than Jack Hinshelwood.
The versatile Hinshelwood has always shown good instinct in the box, irrespective of where he has lined up for Brighton, but this quality has become increasingly evident since head coach Fabian Hürzeler switched him to a No. 10 role.
Hinshelwood recently scored in three consecutive league matches, against Chelsea, Newcastle and Wolves, and had good chances to increase that streak to four games when failing to score last time out against Leeds. Back him to get back on the scoresheet this week.
Brighton’s supercomputer win prediction: 49.8%
Forwards
Erling Haaland: Manchester City vs Aston Villa (H)
According to reports across football media, Pep Guardiola will take charge of Man City for the final time on Sunday when his team host Aston Villa.
It will be Guardiola’s 593rd match in charge of the club, taking him one clear of Les McDowall as the manager to take charge of the most games in the club’s history.
After being beaten to the Premier League title by Arsenal, City will have to settle for an FA Cup-League Cup double in Guardiola’s final campaign.
This will also be the final hurrah for Bernardo Silva and John Stones, and City will have to recover quickly from the disappointment of Tuesday’s draw with Bournemouth to give the departing trio the send-offs they deserve.
Richarlison faces his former side, Everton, this weekend, knowing that a victory will keep him and his teammates in the Premier League next season.
Given that Spurs’ goal difference betters West Ham’s by 12, a draw will surely be enough, but make no mistake – Roberto De Zerbi’s side will be going out there to win.
Richarlison assisted the only goal in Spurs’ victory against Wolves (25 April) and scored what proved to be the match-winning goal against Villa (3 May), as well as scoring last time out against Chelsea on Tuesday.
That goal took his tally to 11 for the season in the Premier League, with no other teammate scoring more than four times. He will be dangerous again this weekend.
Tottenham’s supercomputer win prediction: 49.3%

Across his last nine starts in the Premier League, William Osula feels a strong choice for those who believe Newcastle will beat Fulham this weekend. The Dane has scored five goals in his last six games and has the best goals per 90 rate (0.85) of any player with five or more starts this season.
