After Mohamed Salahโ€™s late winner for Liverpool at Selhurst Park, a further six matches get underway at 3pm as the Gameweek 32 action ramps up.

Plenty of attention will be focused on Romelu Lukaku as Man United welcome Swansea to Old Trafford.

The top transfer target for Gameweek 32 and second most popular captain (13.4%), the Red Devilsโ€™ frontman has produced eight goals and two assist in his last 11 club outings across all competitions.

At the back, Chris Smalling โ€“ the most bought defender over the break โ€“ retains his place, with Victor Lindelof surprisingly partnering him at centre-half as Eric Bailly warms the bench.

A popular pair for our Wildcards, Brightonโ€™s Pascal Gross and Leicester wide man Riyad Mahrez go head-to-head at the Amex Stadium.

Gross has averaged 6.2 points per home match for the Seagulls, while the Algerian has returned a goal or assist in 11 of his last 14 league starts.

Elsewhere, Charlie Austin makes a welcome return for Southamptonโ€™s trip to West Ham.

With a pair of expected Double Gameweeks to follow, many will be keen to scout the Saintsโ€™ striker โ€“ despite failing to feature since Gameweek 19, he remains their top scorer, with six efforts to his name.

Three goals from Marko Arnautovic over the international break underlines his goal threat ahead of this proverbial six-pointer.

Meanwhile, Newcastleโ€™s Kenedy has another chance to stake a claim as our budget midfielder of choice ahead of an expected Double Gameweek to follow.

The on-loan wide man bagged 16 points in his previous home outing and entertains Huddersfieldโ€™s travel-sick defence at St Jamesโ€™ Park.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    How much do we think Salah will be at the start of next season? 11.5?

      As much as Kane was at the start of this season.

      i dunno what top mids have been priced at historically but he could be 12 or 12.5

    5. Rik Waller
      • 8 Years

      At least 13, I think

    I should always go with my own instincts...

    Arnie & Lingard left out for Mahrez & Gross (note this may sound weird but I don't like doubling up my forwards and midfielders from the same team) - I already have Vardy and Murray.

    1. Leaf

      You always should

      1. Zenith UK

        8 years, 1 month ago

        Next time you see me getting talked out of things I beg you remind me to trust my own instincts (I made a shout for Mili too but would've still taken Arnie & Lingard over Mili though... ๐Ÿ˜€

    2. Zenith UK

      Play Murray over Lowton they said.
      Clean sheet less likely (vs WBA) than Murray scoring they said...

      6 points on the bench. 2 in my starting 11.

      Chilwell & Smalling a rotation risk they said... Smalling 6 points playing, Chilwell 6 points on the bench. What is life...

      Good mangers do
      Not so good managers don't
      The poor managers copy Mark and the scouts

      1. Zenith UK
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        All season I've gone with my gut and now we're getting to crunch time I'm bottling it slightly. My best ever season (41K OR so far) and I haven't had Kane once this season either...

    So far would have been a reasonable bench boost for me with Ryan, Lowton, Barnes & Morgan all in the points.

    1. Odikostar
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Pope, Barnes, Mili and morgan here...

        Haha, shame with so many points on the bench but shows promise for future game weeks I guess.

    Please advice,

    Played my WC for Gw 34. First I thought to bench boost. But also have free it available (for gw 37) and my triple captain. Should I use it in gw 34 instead of bench boost? What u think?
    Cheers
