Case for Nailing Down FH38 in FPL (Looking at Bundesliga final weekresults)

- Monchengladbach 2-1 Hertha

Monchengladbach needed a point to nail down 4th spot and qualify for UCL

- Leverkusen 1-0 Mainz

Leverkusen needed to win and hoped for Monchengladbach to lose for 4th spot
- Dortmund 0-4 Hoffenheim

Dull match for BvB, but Hoffenheim needed a win to secure a spot automatically for Europa (without playing further Qualifications)

- Bayern 4-0 Wolfsburg

Wolfsburg needed to match Hoffenheim to gain Automatic spot for Europa. Now they will play Quali
- Werder Bremen 6-1 FC Koln

The most entertaining story of the season. Werder Bremen needed to win 4-0 and hope Fortuna Dusseldorf would not win, to survive relegation from Bundesliga. 16th spot plays a further relegation/promotion match to stay in Bundesliga.
- Union Berlin 3-0 Fortuna Dusseldorf

Dusseldorf needed a win to save themselves from dropping down automatically. If they drew, they wouldn't want Werder Bremen to win by 4 goals.

Dusseldorf didn't show up and have been relegated from the Bundeliga.
- Freiburg 4-0 Schalke

Dull match for both teams. Safe from relegation and no chance of vying for European competitions on the last day. Schalke finish the season with no wins in 2020.
- Augsburg 1-2 RB Leipzig

Dull match for both clubs as Augsburg were safe from relegation and Leipzig had already qualfiied for UCL.

However, Werner needed to score a brace to be the club's all time leading goalscorer and did end up getting it, before he leaves for Chelsea.
- Eintracht Frankfurt 3-2 Paderborn

Nothing to play for either teams. Frankfurt had no chance of qualfying for European competitons and Paderborn had already finished last.
Conclusion

1) 34 goals in 9 games in the last round. An average of 3.78 per match. Average in the Bundesliga before this round was 29 goals every 9 matches. Final rounds are usually high scoring.

2) Monitor players chasing records (Club or Golden boot or Assists records etc)
3) Teams with something to play for usually turn up, especially against opposition that are on holiday already.

4) Mixed lineups with many youngsters getting debuts. Opens up possibilities of crazy punts.
