Gameweek 32’s inaugural fixture sees Swansea City welcome Everton to the Liberty Stadium in the lunchtime kick-off. Both sides boast good form leading up to this encounter, with the Swans earning victories in the previous two Gameweeks, while the Toffees are in the midst of a three-match wining streak.

All eyes will be on Bafetimbi Gomis in the wake of his brace against Hull City last time out. The ex-Lyon frontman has struggled to fill the void created by Wilfried Bony’s departure to Manchester City, yet four goals for Gomis in as many starts suggests he’ll be a key player for the Welsh outfit throughout their agreeable run-in. Elsewhere in the Swansea camp, Ki Sung-Yeung continues to impress with his goalscoring prowess – having netted four goals in the past eight Gameweeks – while Gylfi Sigurdsson has delivered attacking returns in two of his last four outings.

Garry Monk is forced into one change to the side that saw off ten-man Hull City last time out – Angel Rangel comes in at right-back with Kyle Naughton forced to miss the remainder of the season with an ankle injury.

Everton’s upturn in form has renewed Fantasy interest in the likes of right-back Seamus Coleman, who bagged a goal and an assist in their Gameweek 30 visit to Loftus Road. The Irish international has benefited from Everton’s much-improved defensive resolve in recent weeks, with Roberto Martinez’s men conceding a solitary goal in their last three league clashes. Today’s teamsheet finds Everton unchanged, as Romelu Lukaku misses out once again: Arouna Kone leads the attack with Ross Barkley up in support.

    Remy (MUN, ars/lei) or Murray (WBA, HUL)

    1. Saniul
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Gomis.

    2. super zlatan
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Remy as he has a dgw.

      Unless you have a WC and can afford to shuffle your team about for gw 34

    3. HuttonDressedasLahm
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Got to admit it looks like Murray. Though maybe Remy and Puncheon?

      1. Coaly
        11 years, 6 months ago

        that would be good. would mean a hit though

  2. Lawrø
    11 years, 6 months ago

    Incredible disallowed goal from Shelvey

  3. Numb
    11 years, 6 months ago

    Can someone link me to the Gomis lolling? I missed it.

    Out of interest, does anyone 'hedge' the risk that they pick the wrong players by betting on them to score?

    Eg Hazard captainers this week betting on Kane to score 2 or more.

    It's something I've always thought about doing, since doing well at FPL has some sort of equivalent £ value but I've never actually done it...

    1. Gilberto.
      11 years, 6 months ago

      I do sometimes when my rival captains someone different, will probably do it this week with your example

  5. starbows
    11 years, 6 months ago

    Would lukaku start next week?

  6. SPorting
    11 years, 6 months ago

    1. 4vets
      11 years, 6 months ago

    2. Numb
      11 years, 6 months ago

      You don't have Coleman???

    3. Lawrø
      11 years, 6 months ago

      -4 from 0 here.

      You should count yourself lucky, could have been much worse 😉

  7. DV8R
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    11 years, 6 months ago

    Who would have got the assist?

    1. La Roja
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Ki I think

    2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      11 years, 6 months ago

      maybe routledge but not 100% sure

    3. Les Bleus
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Is this what FPL has come to? Asking who would have gotten the hypothetical assist?

      1. Billy Gilmore
        11 years, 6 months ago

        It says an awful lot about this game so far 😆

        1. Les Bleus
          11 years, 6 months ago

          Can't argue with that 😀

        2. Jafooli
          11 years, 6 months ago

          😆

        3. Billy Gilmore
          11 years, 6 months ago

          Key word being "awful"

      2. Jafooli
        11 years, 6 months ago

        😆

      3. Gaz Downright

        11 years, 6 months ago

        it's part of the research for coming up with the next "lol @"

    4. Saint Domingo
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Routledge

    5. Jafooli
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Gomis

    6. Lyonnais
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Austin

    7. Gaz Downright

      11 years, 6 months ago

      Lukaku

  8. WHY ALWAYS MESUT?
    11 years, 6 months ago

    Glad I went for Remy over Gomis so far.

    Also took a huge punt to captain Ozil, hopefully pays off.

    1. 4vets
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Why always Mesut?

      1. WHY ALWAYS MESUT?
        11 years, 6 months ago

        Hah!

    2. Judas
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Wow. You chasing?

      1. WHY ALWAYS MESUT?
        11 years, 6 months ago

        Comfortably first in most of my leagues but the couple I'm behind in is by 60-70 pts at the very least. First season I'm playing seriously (ranked 8500 atm) and want to get at least top 5k from here.

    3. super zlatan
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Balls on you. GL.

      1. WHY ALWAYS MESUT?
        11 years, 6 months ago

        Cheers! Same to you!

    4. Lucy.
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Gutsy. Good luck! 🙂

      1. WHY ALWAYS MESUT?
        11 years, 6 months ago

        Thanks! Same to you!

    5. Numb
      11 years, 6 months ago

      What because Gomis went off injured with 1 point? No sh*t Sherlock.

      1. WHY ALWAYS MESUT?
        11 years, 6 months ago

        Wow, a lot of anger there mate. Was just saying because I was 50-50 on him/Remy.

        1. Numb
          11 years, 6 months ago

          No anger here! You missed a bullet there.

          1. WHY ALWAYS MESUT?
            11 years, 6 months ago

            Haha my bad in that case. Best of luck for this week!

            1. Numb
              11 years, 6 months ago

              You too

  9. Richd
    11 years, 6 months ago

    Soll to win @ Aintree.

    1. 4vets
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Sol Cambell?

    2. Kuqi Monster
      11 years, 6 months ago

      He's my pick

    3. Lucy.
      11 years, 6 months ago

      I've backed Soll... So it means it'll fall at the first.

    4. Malcolm Tucker for England …
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Reverse forecast Balthazar king and First Lieutenant
      E/W Oscar Time

      Alvarado if you want a punty punt

      1. Lucy.
        11 years, 6 months ago

        I've also gone for First Lieutenant because of Nina Carberry. Girl power and all that.

        1. Malcolm Tucker for England …
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          11 years, 6 months ago

          there'll be a female winner in the next few years, so why not now?
          Good form, looks strong. did the RF as Balthazar King has a good record in the National

    5. SweeSwee
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Mon Parrain will win

  10. starbows
    11 years, 6 months ago

    Lukaku to start next week?

  11. Davido989
    11 years, 6 months ago

    Team of the season so far?

    -----------------De Gea
    Ivanovic Fonte Koscienly Bertrand
    Silva Wanyama Matic Hazard
    -------------- Kane Giroud

    POTY: Eden Hazard
    YPOTY: Harry Kane
    MOTY: Ronald Koemann

    1. Saniul
      11 years, 6 months ago

      No Sanchez, yes totally.

      1. Davido989
        11 years, 6 months ago

        Went for David Silva instead

        1. Saniul
          11 years, 6 months ago

          Silva surely had a better season than Sanchez, k.

          1. Davido989
            11 years, 6 months ago

            wouldn't argue against either

    2. HuttonDressedasLahm
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Koscielny?
      Austin over Giroud

      1. Davido989
        11 years, 6 months ago

        No surprise Arsenal's turn of fortune came when Kosc played every game. I wouldn't argue against Austin

    3. Les Bleus
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Crazy not to have Sanchez. Him instead of Wanyama for sure.

      1. Lucy.
        11 years, 6 months ago

        I agree.

      2. Davido989
        11 years, 6 months ago

        Sanchez as a defensive mid? 😉

        1. Lucy.
          11 years, 6 months ago

          TOTY sheets never make tactical sense. 😉

        2. davies
          11 years, 6 months ago

          Silva central. Diamond?

        3. Lawrø
          11 years, 6 months ago

          Shift Silva to the centre and play a 4-4-2 diamond wide if you must.

    4. Lucy.
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Wanyama has been too inconsistent to be in, IMO. Schneiderlin has been better.

      1. Davido989
        11 years, 6 months ago

        Wanyama has been second to Matic. He makes Schneiderlin who he is, in my opinion anyway.

        1. Lucy.
          11 years, 6 months ago

          You watched us for 90 mins on a regular basis? 😛 He goes missing every so often and we get decimated.

          1. Davido989
            11 years, 6 months ago

            I watch Saints a lot. Wanyama is your best player

            1. Lucy.
              11 years, 6 months ago

              Really? Well that's good because we might actually hang onto him!!! 😉

    5. Stats Don\'t Lie
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Costa over giroud and Sanchez over wanyama in my opinion. But the rest is about right.

    6. HuttonDressedasLahm
      11 years, 6 months ago

      DDG
      Clyne Terry Fonte Bertrand
      Matic
      Sanchez Hazard Silva
      Kane Austin

      1. Lucy.
        11 years, 6 months ago

        Think Ivan deserves a space, no matter how good Clyney has been.

        1. HuttonDressedasLahm
          11 years, 6 months ago

          Ivanovic just isn't a great defender
          Great for FPL but mainly for attacking threat

      2. Lawrø
        11 years, 6 months ago

        Spot on, this is exactly the team I was thinking! (Aside from the formation)

    7. U-jin King™
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Austin for Giroud

    8. Coldplay
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Terry over Kosc.
      Sanchez over Silva.
      Cazorla and Eriksen over Wanyama and Matic imo.
      Austin over Giroud as well.

    9. Coaly
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Sanchez over Wanyama. Costa over Giroud.

  12. fitzy
    11 years, 6 months ago

    Fabianski + Naylor

    let's keep this goalless please

  13. SweeSwee
    11 years, 6 months ago

        Wes Baines, plays for Sunderland now....

    2. Forza

      11 years, 6 months ago

      40 points in 4 weeks. Good times. He made up for it with 10 weeks of blanks though 😡

    3. whitters_2014
      11 years, 6 months ago

      What's he done?

    4. Numb
      11 years, 6 months ago

      He will punish sellers soon enough

  14. Numb
    11 years, 6 months ago

    Fair play, there was hardly any lolling at the Gomis injury - well done FFS

    1. DV8R
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Wait for it...

    2. Lucy.
      11 years, 6 months ago

      I feel bad for the people who punted. I want brave picks to come off for the FFS community. A sad end.

      1. Numb
        11 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah me too

  15. Dušan Citizen
    11 years, 6 months ago

    F.ck my life! Gomis was perfect punt with great fixtures. Damn it. Now I have to use my transfer to get rid of him. 🙁

    Won't watch that stupid game now. Derby - Brentford is much more interensting. 🙁
