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.

      Only players you have playing in GW35 are Bellerin, Gabriel, Sanchez, Coutinho, and Aguero. There's no point in going all out on a bench boost in 34 if you're just going to give those points right back in 35...

    Just been reading the Mertesacker interview from today.

    That is a man who will play at least once in the DGW

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

      Any details?

      Lol

    3. Jimmers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      It's hard to see him not playing in an least one of the 3 games in 34 and 35

    4. Hibbo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      10 years, 1 month ago

      This logic has been thrown out with baby and bath water.

      Gabriel suits everyone's finances, two nice home fixtures, lovely.

      Not so lovely he he plays once and Ozil does what he has been doing best for most of the year!

      1. JAC THE CAT

      What comment in that makes you think he has any say whether he'll play any games between now and the end of the season? I completely agree that there's a good chance Mert gets a game over the DGW / run in, but implying this interview gives any insight into it is ludicrous!

      1. JAC THE CAT

        This is a man speaking who knows he will get gametime, sounds motivated

    Thanks to 1 who did reply last time

    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

    1. Jazz!
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      A). Sunderland > Palace and they like their CS at the end of the season. Kirchhoff loves baps too 🙂 floating transfer also

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

        yeah the floating transfer means I can either get Defoe in 35 and have 2 in 38, or take a punt on Pelle/get Kane if £££ in 35 then swap for Defoe or Deeney in 36

    Many people considering GW36 WC and GW37 BB? I'm a bit underwhelmed by the teams who have DGWs then

    1. Van der Faart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      It was my original plan but there's so many points to be had in 34 I think it would be a mistake to WC 36 now

    2. White Hart Kane
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Was my plan right up until last night, when Sanchez almost single handedly forced me to click wildcard

    3. Patio Kev
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I am WC36, It isn't the thought of the doubles in GW37 that motivate me but keeping my current triple Arsenal, Leicester & Spurs for the easy games in GW35.

      1. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Yep.

        I've looked at GW34 wildcard but to be honest with you I would want triple Arsenal, triple Man Utd, triple West Ham and double Everton.

        That's already 8 GW35 blanks right there which means you're either taking hits or underfielding a team in GW35. Each way I see that as giving back the points you wildcarded for in GW33.

        Second issue I have with it is that I'd be forced to really play 15 DGW'ers to really make it worthwhile. Frankly, I really don't have a lot of interest in Newcastle, Palace, West Brom and Watford players so I'd be gettin in players that I really don't have much faith in whilst losing players I do have faith in.

        Third, in GW36 its easier to get rid of Leicester and Spurs players and go with your wildcard team for the last weeks of the season.

        I understand people wantng to WC this week, but GW35 genuinely puts me off. If there were no blanks in GW35 then I'd be WC'ing now too, but the fact that GW35 kind of dictates which players I go for and means I have to compromise puts me off.

        1. Patio Kev
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Totally agree. Very well articulated.

          I originally planned to WC34 but as am leading my ML I didn't fancy filling up with Palace, Everton and Liverpool players.

          It's taken me 32 weeks to finally get where I am, I ain't destroying my team for 1 week of madness.

          Am gonna need a bloody big sofa to hide behind in a couple of weeks well.

      2. Eric the King
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Yes good point, although while GW35 is attractive for Spurs and Leicester is it worth missing out on potential 15 DGW for 34? Plus Leicester fixtures turn after 34

        1. Patio Kev
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          I got triple Arsenal (Sanchez, Bell and Ozil) and Payet. That will suffice nicely.

          Only time will tell who got this one right but as mentioned above, I am not ripping apart 32 weeks of bloody hard work with a moment of madness.

          Leicester players will be removed on GW36 Wildcard

        2. Nomar
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          I'm all for it.

          If you can show me 15 players with doubles worth having in GW34 that will allow me to field a solid XI with no hits in GW35.

  5. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    I don't know why but somehow I don't trust Bolasie. He had 0 shots last game.

    Are we certain we want him..?

    1. Van der Faart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I'm not. But hes in my draft. I think I want him for gw33 but not 34.

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

      Any of these Everton or Palace mids are punts. Wouldn't get too many of them.

  6. Van der Faart
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Can someone, anyone, please let know what they make of my WC team please

    Hennessy/Foster
    Darmian Toby Moreno Simpson Monreal
    Mahrez Sanchez Bolasie Payet Lennon
    Kun Kaku Kane

    Plan would be to do Lukaku to Martial and Bolasie to Coutinho for -4 in time for gw34.

    1. Wirtzle Gummidge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      It's great if you no longer have your BB chip.

      1. Van der Faart
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        I do have BB, but I can't afford to lose Toby and don't want to sell Kane. Any thoughts on where else I could improve?

        1. White Hart Kane
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Toby could go tbh

          1. Van der Faart
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            True. So much to lose on him though. He's costing 6.5 now and I'll only get 5.7 for him. I'm going to want Spurs defensive coverage back when the madness is over and Toby is the best option. Could just go with Walker or Rose though I suppose.

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

              Are you though? You should be working towards DGWers for GW37 once you get through the first double, so why would you waste a FT on getting Toby back?

    2. Ruth_NZ
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Just passing through but if you do want a comment I think it's all wrong.

      Toby is an expensive luxury in there. Moreno is far from gametime secure, especially whilst Liverpool have EL fixtures. Simpson, Monreal and Darmian are the wrong defenders from their clubs.

      So...
      Hennessey/Mignolet
      Bellerin Gabriel Smalling Evans Fuchs
      ...looks better and is probably around the same price. Gabriel may or may not play twice in GW34 but neither may Monreal and Toby certainly won't. 😉

      I won't go any further other than to say that Lennon looks a poor pick to me and that planning a hit the week after a wildcard is faulty. The whole thing would work much better if you dropped either Aguero or Kane. Personally I'd shed Mahrez as well but I know how attached to him some managers are. 😕

      1. Ayew Serious

        Am I seeing things?

        Hi.

        Ps. Agree with pretty much everything apart from the hazard that is Evans

    Hi Guys

    Please help me with the last piece of my WC puzzle

    Who is the best 4.7m GW35 playing DF to have for this WC Back 7

    Robles Courtois

    Bellerin Sakho Mangala Fuchs xxxxxxx

    Any ideas would be welcomed

    1. Super Frank
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Gabriel?

  9. Dušan Citizen
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone going with only Lanzini from WHU?

    But Payet could score from a free kick at anytime.

    1. Van der Faart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Going with only Payet. Lanzini could be a good a great enabler though

    2. Ayew Serious
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      It's dangerous to go Payetless.

      1. Dušan Citizen
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Yup, but frees up a lot of money.

        1. Ayew Serious
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          I'll have both anyways 😀

          1. Dušan Citizen
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            But won't you have too much blankers at GW 35?

            1. Ayew Serious
              • 10 Years
              10 years, 1 month ago

              Going Unitedless sorts that out nicely 😀

                Could be possible to Cleansheets.

                Could hurt that if baps added.

  10. melvinmbabazi
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Choose one?

    A) Robles and Smalling
    B) De Gea and Jagielka

    1. Dušan Citizen
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      a

    2. Evs
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I prefer B

    3. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      A

    4. Viper
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      A

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

      B has more goal threat potential but A allows you to free up funds more easily.

  11. Mind över Mata
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Mignolet / Robles
    Monreal / Gabriel / Fuchs / Rojo / Sakho
    Sanchez / XXXX / Payet / Mahrez / Lanzini
    Aguero / Kane / Lukaku

    A) Barkley
    B) Lallana / Henderson

    Could do A this week and B next week.

    So im having a problem picking a liverpool defender for my wildcard side. With money an issue it rules out Clyne who seems the most nailed on. Leaving me with the choice of Sakho or Moreno. Now neither are convincing or nailed on but after listening in to most of the Spurs vs Liverpool match Sakho sounded shocking and with Skrtel on the bench im not sure if he is nailed on and im wondering why every wildcard team i see on here has Sakho in?
    So Moreno or Sakho?
    Reasons please if possible
    Thanks in advance lads

    1. Viper
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Flanagan is back & Klopp seems to be a fan

    2. Woy of the Wovers
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Sakho is safe. He had a brief period in that match but was the best defender there. Moreno has the greater threat but has a rotation risk.

    3. JackBetherz
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Thanks lads, im still a bit undecided. Will see who plays against Dortmund mid week and make a decision

      Would you rather?

      A: Firmino & Smalling in 34, Sturridge in 35 for -4

      B: Milner & Darmian in 34, Kane in 35 for free

            Hi guys, I'm trying to plan a couple of transfers ahead, which of these situations do you prefer for week 34 onwards?

            A) Ward, Mahrez, Martial
            B) Ward, Firmino, Martial -4
            C) Rojo/Darmian, Mahrez, Martial -4
            D) Cathcart, Bolasie, Kane

              Could you do B without the hit?

                • 12 Years
                10 years, 1 month ago

                Nope, WC went last week.

              • 13 Years
              10 years, 1 month ago

              B)

              I am making the assumption that Firmino won't be rested due to fixture congestion + Dortmund related purposes.

                10 years, 1 month ago

                3 cs's and a 2 pointer is

                20. And Smalling is more likely to get a yellow card than bps imo

            Finally got around to spending some time on my wc team

            A:
            Robles darlow
            Delaney sakho Gabriel Bellerin mangala
            Lennon coutino Mata payet sanchez
            Kun Kaku mitrovic

            - will have 4 dgw for gw 33
            - do Delaney >> Rojo/darmian in gw34..will have 15dgwers
            - leaves me with 9 starter for gw35..will take 1 hit to field an 11
            - will have 10dgw in gw37...could choose firmino over Mata which will avoid a hit and leave me with 11 for dgw37

            B:
            Robles MIGNOLET
            Delaney sakho Gabriel Bellerin mangala
            Lennon coutino BOLASIE payet sanchez
            Kun Kaku MARTIAL

            - 5dgw in gw33
            - delaney >>Rojo and 15 dgwers for gw34
            - field 10 in gw35 with a hit
            - Field 11 dgwers in gw37 without a hit

            1. Rider on the Storm
              • 14 Years
              10 years, 1 month ago

              You need 11 players on gw35 without a hit

            Right then, this is my first crack at a WC team. Where do you reckon it falls over?

            Sánchez* KDB* Coutinho* Lingard Payet

            1. Les Bleus
              • 14 Years
              10 years, 1 month ago

              A couple of uncertainties in defence (Darmian and Gabriel). Otherwise looks good.

                • 11 Years
                10 years, 1 month ago

                Cheers. Darmian defo feels like a risk. More pondering required.

            Improvements welcomed? Tried so many defensive combos

            1. Les Bleus
              • 14 Years
              10 years, 1 month ago

              I like it. Would rather get Lingard than Iwobi personally. Big risk though going without Kane.

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

                I'll get Kane back but playing BB for GW35 and had him up to now. Lindgard for fixtures over Iwobi form I presume? I'm not so convinced on united attack but Iwobi is rotation risk for sure

            Why so much for Lanzini around here?
            Genuine question, not watched them or tracked stats.

            Is it because he's an enabler or has he genuinely looked very threatening?

            1. RoysCallerAnne
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 16 Years
              10 years, 1 month ago

              Bit of both. He does look a good player. And so cheap!

            2. Trae44
              • 10 Years
              10 years, 1 month ago

              Bit of both I'd think although with games against Leicester, Arsenal then a blank I'm not convinced

            3. Swan - Villa Proud
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 10 Years
              10 years, 1 month ago

              Right on both points. If you can manage the blank in 35, he's an outstanding punt on form and cheap

              1. AAAAA
                • 13 Years
                10 years, 1 month ago

                Cheers guys,

                So I gather you get with him Payet, rather than instead of him

                  • 12 Years
                  10 years, 1 month ago

                  Not necessarily. If you want KdB/Ozil/Sanchez/Liverpool in your midfield, he fills the 5th spot perfectly.

          13. Fowler23
            • 10 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            A) KDB & Rashford
            B) Barkely & Martial

            KDB, Sanchez, Ozil, Lennon*, Bolasie*

              How do you get a decent team out in gwk 35 with all those non players + Olsson.

              Not being smart, genuinely wondering what your plan is

                Probably a hit or two in GW35. 15 DGWers in 34 and BB.

                Guaranteed TM. Points in the bag. 2 CS incoming. Another Delaney goal, one from Dann in the other game.
                Bolasie 20+ pointer.

                Very nice, I've got 5 so nearly as big as you, our big problem will be the Sunday football, we need Kane and Vahrez to stay quiet, if they do, with all our first XI playing Saturday, we could get a huge green Saturday, hold it Sunday, and then a humongous green Wednesday 🙂

                    86 points, then you factor in double Palace defence and it drops to about 80

                  Defensive options really are few & between on a WC!

                  Especially if you go Ozil over Gabriel

                  1. Swan - Villa Proud

                    • 10 Years
                    10 years, 1 month ago

                    Defense has been a crap shoot in general this year.

                    Very true, want to keep ozil along with sanchez but trying to get a 5 th decent defender is slim pickings

                  Smalling Bellerin Janmaat Gabriel Simpson
                  Sanchez Payet Coutinho Milner Lennon
                  Kun Lukaku Martial
                  0.0 ITB

                  Not overly happy with Janmaat and Milner......
