The final week of the Fantasy Premier League season is here, and for many managers, this is the last chance to climb mini-league tables settle rivalries, and finish the campaign with a big score. Safe picks can protect rank, but differentials are often what make the real difference on the final day.
Several players are emerging as smart choices for managers chasing one final green arrow before the season ends.
One of the biggest talking points heading into the final round is Tottenham forward Richarlison. Spurs still have plenty to fight for, and that pressure could work in the Brazilian’s favour. With injuries affecting the squad, he has become the main attacking option in recent weeks and has started delivering returns at the perfect time. Goals, assists, and regular minutes make him a tempting option for anyone looking beyond the usual premium forwards.
Burnley winger Jaidon Anthony is becoming a popular choice for FPL managers looking for a smart gamble in the final week of the season. Burnley have looked more lively in attack recently, especially in home matches, and Anthony has played an important role in that improvement.
With Wolves struggling defensively away from home, Anthony could take advantage and deliver a surprise big performance. Because not many managers own him, he could be the perfect differential for anyone trying to gain points and move up their mini-league standings before the season ends.
Liverpool’s Cody Gakpo also enters the conversation as a strong differential choice. While Liverpool’s season has been full of pressure and speculation, Gakpo has remained an important figure in the starting line-up. His versatility and ability to play through the middle could be valuable in a high-scoring final-day match. Managers willing to gamble on Liverpool’s attack may find him a smart alternative to the more heavily owned stars.
There is also growing interest around West Ham captain Jarrod Bowen. The England international continues to carry much of West Ham’s attacking threat, contributing goals and assists consistently throughout the campaign. With everything to play for on the final day, Bowen looks like one of the safest explosive picks available. Some fantasy experts are even calling him the best transfer option of the week.
Meanwhile, Morgan Gibbs-White could be one of the players who makes a big impact in the final week of the season. The Nottingham Forest midfielder has been in good form lately and continues to create chances in important matches. His energy, creativity, and attacking runs have made him a popular choice for FPL managers looking for a player who can deliver something special. For managers chasing points, Gibbs-White may be a better option than safer and more common picks.
Captaincy will also decide many leagues this weekend. Some managers are backing big names like Erling Haaland or Bruno Fernandes for one final haul, while others are expected to take bold risks with in-form differentials.
The final gameweek is often unpredictable, which is exactly why it becomes so exciting for Fantasy Premier League players. One unexpected goal, one surprise captain haul, or one clever transfer could completely change the final standings.
For managers still chasing glory, this is the time to be brave.
