After Mohamed Salah’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 Devils’ frontman has produced eight goals and two assist in his last 11 club outings across all competitions.

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

A popular pair for our Wildcards, Brighton’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 Southampton’s trip to West Ham.

With a pair of expected Double Gameweeks to follow, many will be keen to scout the Saints’ striker – 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, Newcastle’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 Huddersfield’s travel-sick defence at St James’ Park.

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

    Is that second blood to the wildcarders?

    1. Fuchs Mane Kante
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Not going to happen.

  2. Rainer

    A fit Kane would make FPL very interesting for GW34!

    Feck lukaku. Fell into Auba trap of pre-planning transfer

    1. La Roja
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Yes, Aruba played and blanked already. Well done

      1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        If Kaku scores a brace that move would be dodgy

    2. Ógie

      You might have to square that by the time big Rom is finished today.

    1. Deulofail
      • 10 Years

  13. Sandy Ravage
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Firmino > Lukaku in DGW34 no seems a no-brainer

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

      *kane 😉

    2. Cok3y5murf
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Because today's scores have everything to do with GW34

    3. DJ1000
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Firminho to lukaku in gw32 a no brainer.

    4. walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Mounie to Lukaku this week was a no brainier, too. Wc still in hand.

  14. DJ1000
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    So those who got lukaku in must feel fully justified. Watch the Lukaku rush now

    1. Point-one short
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      With city next, let them.

  15. Hazz

    West Ham stewards wearing football boots in case fans run onto the pitch. Lordy.

    1. DJ1000
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Can any of them play football? May be needed later

    2. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      For a 5-a-side against them?

    Cheers big Rom

  17. Captain Hindsight

    Choosing Smalling over Bailly on WC is looking like the correct decision so far

    1. Unfathomable Ruination
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      correct

    2. pundit of punts
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      There you are. 😀

      You’re too late, hero - Gotham was overrun while you were gone by smug posters without a hint of your irony.

    Lindleof I mean Lindleof
    Maureen finding new and ever more inventive ways to bend us over and inflict some serious damage.

    1. Point-one short
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Maureen loves it tight at the back.

      1. Albrightondknight

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

        Lindleof with personally see to it that he gives away 2 goals so he should go away as a problem.

    Lukaku will be close to 11.9m come the Friday of DGW34.

    1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 8 Years

      Thats the danger. So many Utd fans

    2. DJ1000
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Lukaku at home to Swansea wba away to bmth in 3 of next 4. Don’t understand why it was ever in doubt

  21. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years

    Lukaku shot saved

  22. Zilla
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Hope I didn't make the wrong choice capping Auba over Lukaku

  23. Hybrid.power
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Almost Lukaku again

  24. rivercityransom
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    lukaku almost

  25. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    If Kaku braces he will rise by again 0.2. It will be so annoying

    1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Price doesn't matter at this stage in the season, esp as most will have money ITB for him.

      1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Not for all. U might miss out on other targets in dgw34

    2. walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I won’t be annoyed by making money and points.

  26. Rainer
    • 9 Years

    Fab denies Lukaku

  27. Witty Pun: Not good at this…

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      1 point off the bench vs. 1 point Bailly cameo.

      ... nice.
