We now switch focus away from Wildcards and Double Gameweeks to focus on the Sky Sports game, as we cast our minds back to the previous round of action before preparing you for the incoming fixtures.
We’ll examine the recent run of Man of the Match (MoTM) awards, the bonus point beneficiaries, transfer trends and Watchlist, before moving on to the Scout team and our future plans.
Gameweek 32 Man of the Match Awards
These were the players who caught the eye of the Sky Sports reporters and earned an extra five points as a result.
| Fixture | MoTM |
| Bournemouth vs West Brom | Salomon Rondon |
| Stoke vs Everton | Cenk Tosun |
| Huddersfield vs Crystal Palace | James Tomkins |
| Liverpool vs Watford | Mohamed Salah |
Mohamed Salah continues to march towards the highest total ever recorded in the Sky Sports game after his eleventh award of the season and a stunning 36-point return.
Given the reduced Gameweek, most will also have captained him to earn 72 points.
A nod to Cenk Tosun, who has featured in our Watchlist for the last few weeks. The 0.1%-owned asset has started to settle at Goodison Park and could be a viable pick for those chasing a differential.
Gameweek 32 Bonus Points
Let’s take a look at any player to earn 45 points or more in bonus for the season

Watchlist
Here I aim to highlight a few differential players with low ownership who I think could be good options for the coming six weeks.
Three specific price brackets will be used to cater for our available budgets.
The players will evolve with fixtures and form, and offer Fantasy managers a nudge in the right direction.
| Budget | Mid-Price | Premium | |
| Defender | James Tarkowski 6.1m 4.4% | Andrew Robertson 7.8mm 3.4% | Nacho Monreal 8.5m 3.5% |
| Midfielder | Johann Berg Gudmundsson 6.7m 2.3% | Wilfried Zaha 9.3m 3.5% | Mesut Ozil 11.1m 2.1% |
| Forward | Ashley Barnes 8.8m 0.5% | Cenk Tosun 11.1m 0.1% | Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang 12.2m 2.3% |

Notes
There’s not too much to report this week due to the reduced fixture list last time out.
Thankfully I kept pace with the pack by giving Salah the armband – I had considered Roberto Firmino instead.
This week I think I’ll look to draft in Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang at the expense of the semi-successful Christian Benteke punt I made a few weeks back. The Arsenal striker offers some favourable captaincy matchdays coming up and is still owned by just 2.3%, so hopefully, he can help me enjoy a rise in the rankings.
Others on my radar include Romelu Lukaku and Willian but, with only seven transfers (soon to be six) remaining, I think I’ll wait a couple of weeks in case surgery is required due to any end of season injuries or rotation issues.
Captain Plan
Sat 31st March – Mohamed Salah
Sun 1st April – Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang
