FPL Gameweek 38 Tips: Best Picks by Probability
Fine Line's goalscorer, assist, and clean sheet probabilities for Gameweek 38. Here are the top picks.

Gameweek 38 Captain and Transfer Tips
Erling Haaland leads all goalscorer probabilities at 65.38% with 64.2% ownership — if you have him, he's the straightforward captain pick this week. The gap between him and the second-highest probability is nearly 20 percentage points, which makes the decision simple to justify with the numbers alone.
For those without Haaland, Antoine Semenyo at 45.77% is the next strongest option and is owned by 46.7% of managers, so he carries less differential value but remains a high-probability pick. Danny Welbeck at 41.41% with just 8.8% ownership is worth noting if you want a differential with a strong probability behind it.
Zian Flemming also sits at 41.41% with only 0.5% ownership — the lowest ownership of any player in the top five by probability. He has played all 408 available minutes across the last five gameweeks, confirming he is a regular starter.
Kaoru Mitoma appears in the raw data at 30.30% but is listed as 0% to play in FPL due to a hamstring injury, with an expected return date of June 1. Do not factor him into your GW38 plans.
