We cast an eye over some of the main lessons learned from Gameweek 32 this evening, with particular attention paid to those sides with upcoming doubles. There’s no shortage of Fantasy options amongst Arsenal and West Ham’s midfields, City’s big-hitting Belgian is back, Rafa Benitez can’t afford to tinker with his Newcastle strikers, whilst United’s summer signing from Monaco loves his home comforts.

Alexis is finally back in form…
The Arsenal winger has timed his upturn in output to perfection as Fantasy managers reassemble their squads ahead of double Gameweek 34. Whilst Mesut Ozil has failed to produce any points over the last four, Sanchez has earned points on each occasion, with a goal, assist and maximum bonus earning him a 14-point haul at home to Watford. Already subject to a price hike this weekend, the Chilean is poised for a major bandwagon over the run-in, with clashes against Sunderland, Norwich and Villa following also factored in over the final four Gameweeks.

It’s Iwobi’s place to lose…
It’s back-to-back goals for the Arsenal youngster after he followed up his strike at Goodison by finding the net in the home romp over Watford. Iwobi’s immediate impact has surely ensured he remains ahead of Theo Walcott and Joel Campbell for the role out wide and with Ozil toiling, Iwobi, at a mere 4.5, may well be worth the gamble for that pair of home clashes with Palace and West Brom in Gameweek 34.

De Bruyne has hit the ground running…
Handed a central support role behind Sergio Aguero as Manuel Pellegrini rolled out a 4-2-3-1 at Bournemouth, the Belgian wasted no time in serving a reminder of his Fantasy potential. Afforded just 56 minutes on his return from injury, De Bruyne still managed to grab a goal and fire four attempts at Dean Court. Now up to 5.5 points per appearance – equal with Sergio Aguero and fourth amongst midfielders – De Bruyne looks a deadly differential for the doubles, with a mere 5% ownership right now.

Rafa can’t afford to bench Mitrovic…
After grabbing a late leveler against Sunderland in the previous Gameweek, the Serbian was surprisingly dropped to the bench for Newcastle’s trip to Norwich as Rafa Benitez opted for Papiss Cisse up front instead. Whilst his team-mates continued to toil, Mitrovic needed less than half an hour as a second-half sub at Carrow Road to find the net twice, firing six attempts inside the box in the 3-2 loss. Having scored all three of his side’s goals since the new manager’s arrival, the former Anderlecht frontman looks far too vital to his side’s survival bid to be warming the bench again.

Old Trafford suits Martial…
A 1-0 win over Everton keeps United very much in the last for a top-four finish and strengthened Anthony Martial’s claim for consideration. The Frenchman’s winning strike – which also helped secure maximum bonus – means he has now scored or assisted in five of his last seven appearances at Old Trafford. Martial has bagged four goals, three assists and ten bonus points over that period (compared to one away strike since Gameweek 6) and with back-to-back home encounters against Villa and Palace in double Gameweek 34, looks another one to consider for our wildcard plans.

Kane’s consistency may well force a wildcard re-think…
An equaliser at Anfield took the Spurs striker’s tally to six goals and an assist over the last four Gameweeks. Impressively, Kane has therefore played a part in seven of his side’s last eight strikes over that period as he almost single-handedly keeps Tottenham’s title tilt alive. Whereas the likes of Riyad Mahrez and Jamie Vardy are struggling for points as Leicester grind out the results, Kane’s deadly eye for goal could persuade plenty to hold firm despite the lack of a double on his upcoming agenda.

Lanzini could be the pick of the budget bunch…
The West Ham midfielder took his tally to 19 points in the last two Gameweeks courtesy of a goal and maximum bonus in the 2-2 draw with Palace. Despite the availability of James Tomkins, Slaven Bilic’s decision to employ Michail Antonio at right-back dented the former Forest flier’s appeal as we assess our wildcard options At a price of just 4.9, Lanzini – currently owned by less than 1% of FPL managers – looks to have barged his way past Antonio and, as evidenced by Saturday’s showing, could even rival Dimitri Payet as the best route into Bilic’s attack ahead of doubles in Gameweek 34 and 37.

Hiddink will chop and change now…
After hinting at rest and rotation for the trip to Villa, the Chelsea interim manager was as good as his word on Saturday lunchtime. Hiddink named Matt Miazga, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Kenedy in his first XI and also introduced Alexandre Pato and Jake Clarke-Salter off the bench for their Blues debuts in the 4-0 rout. With the champions having little more than pride left to play for, further teamsheet alterations can be expected and may well steer most away from the Stamford Bridge side over the run-in.

Coutinho’s star is on the rise…
With Roberto Firmino still stuck in the treatment room and Daniel Sturridge looking far from fully fit, the former Inter man has emerged as the choice route into Liverpool’s attack. Coutinho’s opener at home to Spurs on Saturday evening took his tally to two goals and three assists in his last four league outings and has earned him over 35,000 new owners so far second only to Ross Barkley in our midfield shake-ups. With five home fixtures allied with trips to Bournemouth, Swansea and West Brom in the final six Gameweeks, that bandwagon looks set to escalate.

Lennon may be immune from Martinez’ tinkering…
The Toffees manager’s decision to reinstall Gerard Deulofeu to the right wing resulted in a surprise new role for the former Leeds man. With Tom Cleverley stationed on the left, Lennon tucked in centrally behind Romelu Lukaku for the first hour or so before moving to the right after Deulofeu was subbed off. With question marks continuing to hover over the Everton rearguard and with Ross Barkley looking out of sorts, Lennon’s appeal is on the rise ahead of those consecutive doubles.

Hughes needs to find a place for Bojan…
With Jon Walters joining Xherdan Shaqiri on the sidelines, the little Spaniard was afforded a rare start for the visit of Swansea. Stationed in “the hole” behind Joselu, Bojan was instrumental throughout and bagged a goal and maximum bonus in the 2-2 stalemate, taking his tally to six strikes and two assists in just 19 league starts. Impressively, Bojan has converted 19.4% of his scoring opportunities this season – that’s the same as Jamie Vardy – and with the Potters desperate to clinch a Europa League slot, his contribution could be key.

        Ye, I had him but tempted to get Fuchs instead. I can't see a way he's worth having over Fuchs

            No because I expect Fuchs to keep one the week before and after. Where man United have Spurs and a blank. There is more than one week to look at

              Yeah true. Maybe got carried away with it.. Have to admit, Evertons defence is pretty woeful at times this season!

      Too risky with those fixtures.

        Let's not forget they play the top 2 and have a blank in their next 4

    6. Royal5
      • 14 Years

      Smalling or DDG

      1. Royal5

      Keep Coutinho, he has been playing really well

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Especially when getting KdB means having Mangala and Gabriel instead of Smalling and Bellerin... but I could get Clyne instead of Janmaat with the Liverpool spot that's freed up... so much opportunity cost!

        1. fickle
          • 10 Years

          Yeah, I dont see KDB being that big of a difference compared to Firmino.

    I'm avoiding Leicester to focus on DGWers (either in 34 or 37)

    a) Kirchoff, (LEI, nor, ARS, sto, DGW) and keep a floating transfer
    b) Delaney (DGW, crap, blank) and have to sell in 34/35 meaning a hit in 35 to get to 11

    Bottomed

    I'm confused, seeing so many WCs with 13/14/15 DGW players - how are you navigating mainly 35 and 37??

    I must be missing something

    1. Richd
      • 13 Years

      Planning. It's very simple. Without being rude!

      1. Daniel Exeter

        10 years, 1 month ago

        🙂
        I'm on my WC, to get 10 for 35 I have to keep 3 SGW players. Just not sure how people are doing it with more and still holding a solid team

    2. VS10_
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Most are aiming to have 9 players who play 35 on WC and then use 2 ft's to get 11 out. Not that hard. 🙂 Can't have too many Everton, Palace, West Ham, United etc.

      1. Daniel Exeter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years

        Ah ha - that's okay then. That's kind of what I'm doing, so not missing the obvious. Cheers

        Its him or Robles. My SV for Hen is 4.1 so I'm guessing 0.2 extra isn't worth it for 33/34

    4. RoysCallerAnne

  11. Krul Runnings

    10 years, 1 month ago

    People going for 2 West Ham minds and AGUERO LUKAKU MARTIAL.

    What are your moves to get 11 out in 35? Okay, one move could be for a Chelsea def, but other than that you need to lose a player who has a DGW 37 which seems daft.

    Talk to me

    1. Krul Runnings
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      West Ham mids obviously

    2. JK - Cønt ⭐
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      if I get Kirchoff over Delaney I have a spare FT

      this could be used to get Defoe in for 35 ready for 37 and save a FT for GW38 or I take a punt on a Saints striker v Villa

      Martial performs better at home anyway and with my floating FT i can always get him back if necessary

    3. VS10_
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Don't think I would want Martial after 34 so either Pelle or if I find cash Kane. Losing a dgw player, but no can do...

    4. Dr Kenneth Noisewater
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Needs must. Martial appeals for DGW34 AVL + CPL, then happy to get Defoe for DGW37

              No, caught the Sanchez rise last night - it's KDB and selling my Ozil place holder that's the issue

    3. Ayew Serious
      • 10 Years

      I dunno. The comments under that 'Walcott to replace Sanchez' suggested it was legit. But surely we would have got something concrete

    Didn't get any responses last time so again...

    A) Ozil --> KDB (No returns over his last 4, good fixtures, opens up an extra slot for a defender to replace Rojo with in gw 34/35)

    B) Payet --> KDB (in form but Arsenal next and also no game in gw 35, could swap Lennon for Lanzini in gw 34 to have some WHU cover)

    C) Keep both Ozil and Payet and leave KDB

      Bolasie. Prefer Barkley over both though if you have the funds

    Hi guys,

    has anyone created this year that calendar on google sheet where we can see all games including FA + CL and the games that might be cancelled if teams go through to the next round?

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Fixtures are final, there's nothing left to change.

      Note that there are several tabs. Even though schedules set, I still find it useful.

    Also, are people ditching Ozil in favour of Sanzhez (and or KDB)?

    1. Defcons are for Kinnear

      Under consideration

          This

    2. Pochecinno

      Ozil/Sanchez double up

    3. Daniel Exeter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I'm very close to, for Sanchez.
      Just need to find the settled defence I want I enable it

    4. VS10_
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I will have two of those. Currently on the goal scorers.

    5. BROOKLYN GOONER
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Barring injuries, Ozil to Sanchez for me.

    6. Beavis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Sanchez is a definite after the past few weeks, I'm just deciding between KDB and Ozil. Leaning towards KDB because Gabriel is such a good option but waiting on midweek games first.

      1. Daniel Exeter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        How you feeling about Gabs minutes? Surely Mert features..

    7. Hibbo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      It's a plan borne out of 4 game form and everyone's finances.

      I see it backfiring hugely.

      1. KingNidge
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        That's exactly it

        I spent most of the season without him and he hurt me week in week out.. now iv got him il be holding for sure

  23. JK - Cønt ⭐
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    what do we think the chances of KDB double rising are?

    as it stands i have to put Rangel in my team as a filler to squeeze him into my only spare midfield spot, but it seems a waste if he won't double rise

    I won't be keeping unless Sanchez is out for a bit as I can't afford KDB, Sanchez and Kun

    1. VS10_
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Looks like tomorrow is his first rise so it'll be tight. Might only be next Saturday night after deadline.

      1. JK - Cønt ⭐
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        I guess shove him in and he doesn't double rise before deadline take him out

        if he goes big v PSG it might bump the rate up a bit

    2. Beavis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      If it's mostly WC getting him in, he may not rise til Thursday/Friday (even though forecasted to be tomorrow).

      1. JK - Cønt ⭐
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        no harm done if he doesn't, just take him out, unless the guy who's spot Rangel is taking rises but I don't think Sakho or Kirchoff are likely to rise

  24. Jøssy ⭐
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    There's awful lot of love for the Bolasie GW33 punt on here, and I'm getting tempted... But what level of confidence do we have that he'll do ANYTHING!?

    This is not our usual "punt" where a player has been in form and has a nice fixture. He has two fixtures in one GW granted, but he's not been delivering at all.

    Can anyone give me any confidence?

    1. Colonel Shoe 肝池
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      i would consider a punt when the player has been out of form but has 2 nice fixtures...... these sort of gambles are made for dgws

      1. Colonel Shoe 肝池
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        you either end up with a matt phillips or a royston drenthe

        1. Jøssy ⭐

      2. Jøssy ⭐
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        I'm considering it, but selling Mahrez (sun) for him sounds like madness. I may hang on one more week before just going straight to Lanzini

    4. Beavis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      My problem with Bolasie is that, not only is he not in form, he's also a) not very good at football and b) Palace are woeful.

      You never know what will happen in a DGW but I'm personally not interested in the slightest.

      1. Jøssy ⭐
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        I know!! I do feel like I could potentially miss out on a haul though. No idea which way to go on this....

  25. firstade
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    My finger is on the button with 0.0 left in the bank. Have to do this now if Coutinho rises tonight or it's too late. Should i press confirm?

    Robles-Mignolet
    Bellerin-Gabriel-Sakho-Darmian-Simpson
    Payet-KDB-Coutinho-Lennon-Sanchez
    Aguero-Lukaku-Martial

    5 + Robles not playing on GW35, so no room for injuries/bans in the coming 2 gameweeks. Too risky, right?

    1. Dot Polka Dot
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Only doubt for me is Darmian, otherwise very nice

      1. firstade
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Actually changing him for Mangala would give me 0.1 which is needed after Coutinho rises. And it also helps GW35 as well. Thanks!

    Playing in a draft league and Coutinho and Firminio is taken. Which Liverpool mid is worth taking:

    A) Milner
    B) Henderson
    C) Lallana
    D) Keep Barkley

    3. Beavis

    Liverpool are the only decent team to 'switch' to in 35 , maybe best not to start with 3 Liverpool on the wildcard but pick up 1 or 2 after 34

    Think I will reserve a spot and leave enough to do Bollasie to Milner

    1. Daniel Exeter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Milner is a poor option for me personally

    2. Jazz!

      Agree. Smalling to Clyne in 35 for me.

    Sorry for the quick fire questions gents, just doing some last minute WC stuff before I hit the sack.

    Last one...

    KDB likely to rise tonight (93% on FPL Stats)?

    I am assuming Lennon is safe from a rise?

    1. JK - Cønt ⭐
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Lennon on about 70% but not being shipped in huge numbers

      I've just put Rangel in to try and catch a double KDB rise

      1. Evs
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years

        So you think KDB will rise tonight?

    2. Numb

      KDB touch and go. Lennon should be OK

            Have to sell Ozil to make way, and lost out on bucks if I decide to keep Ozil (especially if Sanchez is out)

                Need to think it thorough, but don't want to miss a KDB rise in case I decide to get him a money is very tight

    4. Jøssy ⭐
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Don't hold me to it, but I think KDB is going to go up tomorrow. FFFix is stating tomorrow, and there's an awful lot of WC's in play I imagine.

      If you can't take the rise, I'd maybe make the move.
