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.

    1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 9 Years

      I have been doing some incredible points dodging so far. Still nothing

      1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Like the Matrix

    5. Patch
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Need Vardy to miss a Penalty and Mahrez to score on rebound

      1. Lucky Z
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        So Vardy to have an assist?

    6. Guy Demel
      • 13 Years

      Chris Hughton should be arrested for hate crimes against free flowing exciting football.

      1. Taking the Mkhitaryan

        Lol

      2. Prøfeßör …

      There really are a bunch of 'look at me aren't I clever' so and so's on here when they get a bit of luck. You just come across as a complete putz

      1. Jairzinho

        Someone’s having a bad gameweek!

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

          Quite the opposite but not pointing out my inspired choices and how I was so clever to do so

      2. Taking the Mkhitaryan
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Pretty sure they just copied others anyway

        1. Yozzer
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          100 % this

        Someone taking the bait

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

          *rolls eyes*

    8. HNI
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      That was a real beauty by Barnes. People will know once they get over moaning him for benching

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

        I was told Wood the player to get in. But stuck to my guns

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

      Kiko is the new Marcos Alonso. And £3m cheaper

    10. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Anyone else looking forward to wildcarding in Kane and Sanchez?

      1. Over Midwicket
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Go ahead, no one's stopping you

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

        Kane’s not back yet and Sanchez is still 12m. Would much rather go Hazard

      4. Brosstan
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Yep

      5. Chenku╰☆╮

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

        Sanchez or Kaku was a common theory I proposed. Feel Kaku edges is due to my immense rank unfortunately

        1. Chenku╰☆╮
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Sanchez has been woeful very lucky so far. Loses ball so much..

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

        Sanchez has ruined your season, may as well let him finish it off.

        1. FPL Virgin
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

      Salah: 29 Goals,11 Assists, 26 bonus

      Rooney: 10 Goals, 3 Assists, 20 Bonus

      6bps difference, SORT IT OUT FPL

      1. Over Midwicket
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        That's not really how the bonus system works mate

          • 9 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          I know it doesn't but still something is fundamentally wrong for it to be that close don't you think?

      2. Ghost Gooner
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Missed chances and dispossession?

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

          Yeah has to be down to that but I think he's getting punished to much for that. Rooney's played 500mins less as well

      3. Somalion
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Salah Big chances missed - 19
        Rooney Big chances missed - 5

      4. Stoic
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        It also depends on their teammates who scored, assisted, and created chances.
        It isn't FPL's fault that Everton are rubbish 😛

    16. DantheManinaPan
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Barnes on my bench... Doh!
      Hopefully Gross can repay me...

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

      Barnes first sub, don't you dare sub on Bailley mourinho

      1. JONALDINHO
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Same but realised I’m only playing 3 atb

      2. moz_1983
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Kiko for me. With utd playing well and not looking at risk, would expect him to keep Bailly benched. Hopefully.

      Lingard is looking irresistible for 34.

      1. Over Midwicket
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Not really.

        1. tm245
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Is there a better attacker at that price?

          1. Dr Van Nostrand
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 1 month ago

            Gross

            1. tm245
              • 14 Years
              8 years, 1 month ago

              Looked at him. Could be a tough dgw, depends if Palace are free flowing for that first match.

              1. Dr Van Nostrand
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 10 Years
                8 years, 1 month ago

                I'd be worried over Lingard's mins with 2 games in 3 days then crucial FA Cup game

        2. Magic Bean
          • 10 Years

          You are continuously dismissive on this site. Say something positive mate, it's better for everybody

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

          He has the right imo for going for Sanchez(c).

          Well deserved.
