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.

    Shocking WC

    I think its 1st time this season without a City player in my team.

    Ugh, Tarkowski, and Dunk lose their CS points, and my BTTS acca goes down with that West Brom goal too...triple whammy!

    26 from 6 good bad or terrible

    1. Forever In Our Shadow

      Atrocious.

      1. TheTinman
        • 10 Years

        Peppa would be disappointed

    2. lugs

      1. TheTinman
        • 10 Years

        Thought so

    3. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years

      Decent

  6. CloudSky

    No Bailly, I welcome you lord Kiko!

    1. -SB-
      • 9 Years

      Vardy goal....who assisted?

  7. Optimus.

    Bailly warming up

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

      Cue that music from Lord of the Rings when Gandalf died

      1. MTPockets
          8 years, 1 month ago

          too niche to get it

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

            Ah well

        • Perthite
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          He died?

      2. Debauchy

        Whoop whoop

    2. Ravager

      Genuine question. Not to troll...how are those who wildcarded doing so far?

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

        I'm happy. 50 after baps.

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

          Nice. Manu defence and Lukaku I reckon?

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

            Yessir. Robertson was a nice surprise too. Have Alonso, willian and auba left

      2. Messiah Hazard
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Good. Although Tarkowski losing CS points hurt a bit

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

        Much better off than not, but not quite optimal. Losing Lowton's CS and assist hurts.

        1. Hect.OR 98th
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Happy. 55 from 9 will do me.

      4. Butcher
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        52 from 7. With Jesus Mkhi Alonso Willian to go

        1. @FPL_liverbird (liverpoolfa…
          • 9 Years

          Noice

      5. CloudSky
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Looking like around 45 with Alonso, Willian, Son and Auba to go.

      6. Kun Tozser
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        58 pre baps, 3 to play

      7. Sailboats
        • 10 Years

        47 after BPS. 3 to go

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

          Alright. You have succeeded in making me feel bad

      8. Clintymints
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Quite good. Happy so far.

        Only gripes are swapping Smalling and Chilwell to Mustafi and Morgan but not the worst so far

      9. TallestJohn
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Respectable but not great. DDG the only new one to do anything so far.

        Unlucky with Murray pen miss.

        Already had Salah (C) and Lascelles.

        Azpi, Hazard and Aubameyang to go. Lots hanging on them.

      10. steve_p
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Not good so far, only 23 from 5

      11. Sif
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        35 from 6
        20 points on the bench 🙁

      12. Perthite
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        34 from 7 with Auba(C), Alonso, Son, Willian to go. Waiting for some benchwankery so I can get Barnes points off the bench lol

        1. Deulofail
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Just the tip

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

      Almost brought in Stephens on WC. Lol

      1. Tiki-Taka
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        got Mccarthy as my sub keeper for his 14 point DGW performance in BB 37

      2. @FPL_liverbird (liverpoolfa…
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        I did and sitting firmly on the last space on my bench

      3. lugs
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        he's on my bench , i brought him in just before his 2 game goal scoring run so he's actually been a decent pick for me 🙂

    5. Qaiss
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Going to need a KDB hat trick today

    6. thunder_mike
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Chilwell and Barnes on my bench... put Cedric first defensive sub and have Bailly.

    7. the snazzy viking
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Defoe stunning goal 2-2

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

        Bye bye Wilson

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

      DDG going to be 1 short of a save point yet again?

    9. Clintymints
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Why was there a recent enough interest in Southampton defenders as of late? They popped up on lots of wildcards midweek

      Y tho

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

        No idea. The scout cast crew were big proponents for some reason

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

      G Defoe

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

      Ake assist I think

    12. the snazzy viking
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      HODOR Newcastle

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

      So happy about Rondon goal.
      Gutted Chilwell on the bench.

    14. Bring the Cavalry
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Double Utd defence of to a good start

      1. @FPL_liverbird (liverpoolfa…
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah I wanted that but couldn't afford it! well played

    15. Plagued by indecision
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Barnes goal and Morgan clean sheet on my wildcard bench. Very frustrating.

    16. Sailboats
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Triple Man Utd - Success

    17. Dacra
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      49 after bps with Son, Alonso, Monreal to go.

      Assuming City don't go mental, decent wc considering 34 bench boost is the plan.

    18. TheTinman
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Looks like Newcastle will be around next year 🙂 😎 😀

    19. TAT
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      My wildcard failed terribly this week. All the good points on the bench.
