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.

Evanilson at 34.78% with 2.4% ownership has 387 minutes across the last five gameweeks — he is a regular starter with genuine differential potential.

Taty Castellanos at 33.44% with just 0.2% ownership is the lowest-owned player in the top 12 by probability.

Gabriel Jesus at 31.62% carries 45.9% ownership, making him one of the most-owned players in this list despite sitting outside the top 10 by probability.
