Joao Pedro is also out with a knock and was not in the lineup against Tottenham last weekend. However, he is back in training, and may feature against Sunderland.
Football legend Casemiro played his final Manchester United game in the previous Gameweek, where he was given a fond farewell at Old Trafford.
Must-Have FPL Picks
In-form Manchester United take on Brighton in their final game of the season. In what will be Michael Carrick’s first game in charge as the permanent head coach at Manchester United, FPL managers can expect results from the Red Devils.
Bruno Fernandes (£10.4m) is aiming to surpass the all-time Premier League record for the most assists in a single season (20), with just one more to go. His output has been strong this season, and he may just end the season on a high at the Amex Stadium. Bryan Mbeumo (£8.3m) and Cunha (£8.1m) are other Gameweek 38 top picks from Manchester United.
Manchester City vs Aston Villa will be a hard game to predict. However, with it being Pep Guardiola’s final game in charge of Manchester City, the hosts will be expected to have him leave with one last hurrah.
Jeremy Doku (£6.5m), Erling Haaland (£14.7m), Antoine Semenyo (£8.0m), Nico O’Reilly (£5.3m), and Rayan Cherki (£6.6m) are the Man City players FPL managers should be considering. On Villa’s end, Ollie Watkins (£8.7m) and Morgan Rogers (£7.3m) are the safest options.
2025/26 Premier League champions Arsenal end the season with a London derby against Crystal Palace. Hangover or not, Arsenal are still likely to get a result against the Eagles. Gabriel (£7.3m), William Saliba (£6.3m), Declan Rice (£7.2m) and Bukayo Saka (£10.0m) are good Arsenal picks for the final game of the season.
Other Fantasy Football Matchweek 38 options include Bournemouth’s Senesi (£5.2m), Nottingham Forest’s Elliot Anderson (£5.7m) and Morgan Gibbs-White (£7.5m), Chelsea’s Enzo Fernandez (£6.4m), Tottenham’s Richarlison (£6.4m) AND Leeds striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£5.8m).
