The Gameweek concludes at Stamford Bridge with a titanic London derby as Chelsea host Tottenham Hotspur in a battle that will surely go a long way to deciding the top four placings.

Ironically, Fantasy managers will be more concerned about a player named on the bench today as Harry Kane makes a shock recovery from an ankle injury to figure in the Spurs squad.

Kane will doubtless see minutes late on, and his return will give us much to consider before a Gameweek 33 visit to Stoke City.

In the meantime, Son Heung-min will continue to lead the Spurs attack having struck four goals in his last two starts. He was the most signed midfielder ahead of Saturday’s deadline, claiming 174,000+ new owners.

But Chelsea have their own in-form midfield option. Willian heads into this match off the back of four goals and three assists from his previous six Gameweek starts; that includes a 33-minute appearance at Watford. The Brazilian was a popular Wildcard target and is backed by 133,000 new owners in today’s clash.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Lindelof has played 90 mins 3 out of last 4 ....... £4.9M

    1. CloudSky
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      You first.

    2. Whats the Huth
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      3 out of last 4

      Tells you everything.

      Also jones was injured during that time.

      Not nailed

    3. ZeBestee
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      Yeah he is going to get more starts going with how he played yesterday.

    4. Rash
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      Bit too risky imo quite content to risk it with smalling though

      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      Ha ha... I know you couldn’t risk it....

      I’m so peed off I spent the extra money to get the ‘nailed on’ Bailly

    Is pope a safe option?

    1. CloudSky

      No

      1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
        • 12 Years

        You reckon Heaton will start from now on?

        1. CloudSky
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 6 days ago

          No idea. Wouldnt dare to guess. Both candidates for World Cup, both will want to play.

    1. J T
      • 8 Years

      Not good judging by the above post :/

    2. Fuchs Mane Kante
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      Half decent apparently.

    3. Rash
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      Not great tbh

    4. Albrightondknight

      1.5 GW rank or about that.

  5. Sadio
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 6 days ago

    Alli playing for his role in the World Cup. Has a great record against Stoke as well.

    Tempting, may bring him in along with Kane this week.

    1. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      He's a good young player.

      People bigged him up too high and knock him too much now.

      8 goals 12 assists ain't bad.

  6. KeepCalm

    RP: Need more opinions please..

    I have a saved transfer and im thinking going into DGW34 without WCing so I can WC in 35. That way, i can plan for the BGW as well as the DGW37

    Long shot?

    Any good TC options in GW34?

    1. Dannyb
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      Lukaku

    2. Pukki Party
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      Kaku, Sanchez, Kane.

  7. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 6 days ago

    Going into double week 34 and into 35,would you rather have

    A Smalling ( seems unlikely to play both games in 34 and no game 35)
    B Robertson

    1. JJO
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      Liv play in CL
      So that Robertson game could become no game
      So Smalling

      1. Volley127
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 6 days ago

        This

      2. JJO
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 6 days ago

        But I will have both VVD and Smalling probably on WC this GW
        So...just choose 1 and relax 🙂

    2. ZeBestee
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      B. Have both and content keeping both.

  8. Henryyy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 6 days ago

    Do you think Firmino will start vs Everton 3 days after the CL game?

    1. Duffy Dunk
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      I think his participation will be limited.

    2. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      Wondering same thing and I think he will start and come off after 65 minutes.

    3. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      Depends on the result of the CL game. If Liverpool get smashed (like 5-0) then yes. If they are in it then reduced minutes

    4. Pukki Party
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      There have been game(s) when Klopp have substituted all 3 attackers before 70min. Expecting that

  9. Alan The Llama
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 6 days ago

    Do we know what the avg scoring was just for today's games?

    And get on Kuchar e/w for the Masters, some crazy prices out there.

    1. The 12th Man
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      Kooch always the bridesmaid.

      1. Alan The Llama
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 6 days ago

        Like Garcia?

        Considering the amount of places some bookies are paying, there's a lot of value there.

        1. diesel001
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 6 days ago

          Unsure about Kuchar. He was hot last year (also finished 2nd at the Open), but he isn't as hot this year and not getting better given his age.

        2. The 12th Man
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 6 days ago

          Defending champions at Augusta don’t usually do well.
          Garcia however has good history at Augusta.

          Big hitters with hot putters with history at the Masters.

          Mickleson,Spieth,Stenson,Rose,

          Others to look at, Kucher,Scott,Fowler,Couples,Cabrera,McIlroy

    2. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      3 against the field: Justin Thomas, Rickie Fowler and Marc Leishman.

      1. The 12th Man
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 6 days ago

        JT could do well.

      2. Big_Andy_GAWA
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 6 days ago

        Yeah, but it'll be set up tight, so I imagine we'll see many on -8/-9/-10, etc, so selecting a top 10 player veru tough, based on that...

    3. Rash
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      Bubba Watson maybe one to watch out for.. seems to regained some form and defo has the Augusta pedigree.

      1. The 12th Man
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 6 days ago

        Set up for lefties

  10. how now brown cow
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 6 days ago

    How do you explain this forward line? Was in top 4k.

    fantasy.premierleague.com/a/team/968127/event/32

    1. Lucky Z
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      Saved Kane and FT. No decent alternatives for Quaner and Ayew due to their price.

    2. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      Excellent captains and no real mistakes. What's so strange about it? There has been a dearth of good forward options this season so a team structure like this can actually work.

  11. Traction Engine Foot
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 6 days ago

    For free hit week 34 would you prefer:
    A) Hazard
    B) Sanchez
    C) both
    D) neither

    1. We Will Klopp you
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      D

    2. Duffy Dunk
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      B

    3. Fuchs Mane Kante
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      Same think its Willy and Messi.

    4. Speédy
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      Alexis and Willian

    5. Snikii
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      C

  12. FFSbet.com
    • 10 Years

    Alonso in danger after that sub?

  13. Speédy
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 6 days ago

    43 all out even with Auba(c)
    Delaying the WC backfired,lol

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      Damn

  14. seanmcging
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 6 days ago

    Kane in for Auba in advance of GW34 or give it another week? Both have decent fixtures.

    1. CloudSky
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      Im sticking with Auba for 33, for sure.

    2. Speédy
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      Auba for Southampton game

    3. 5os
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      Sticking with Auba for 33. Original plan was Auba -> Lukaku on GW34 and I'm sticking to it but bringing in Kane instead of Lukaku.

      1. seanmcging
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 6 days ago

        Makes sense, may just put Willian for Ramsey, but will keep Sterling instead of getting Son for GW34, one of 3 single GW players & have him for BB in GW37.

  15. Legomané
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 6 days ago

    A. WC now.
    B. FH34 WC36, 1FT 0.5ITB (8BGW'ers..) Kane in for a (-4)

    WC FH BB TC all in hand.

    Previously favoured B, but starting to lean toward A with this Kane development...

    On hols so not really able to keep up with what's happened this weekend other than Kane back, Stanislas injury.. thoughts on strategy very much appreciated - Cheers 🙂

    Pope(wat)
    Alonso(WHU) VvD(eve) Chilwell(NEW)
    Salah(eve) Son(stk) Stanislas(CPL) Milivojevic(bou)

    1. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 10 Years

      WC33, you are not well enough set up for 35 imho

    2. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      Alonso out, Robertson > VVD, Kane instead of Lukaku, Stan to Groß / Lingard whichever you like, seem the first moves

      1. potatoace
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 6 days ago

        Why Alonso out?
        I'm also on hols.
        Injured? due to be dropped?

        1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 6 days ago

          The sheeple have decided. 7.2 million too much for a poor man's Benteke

          1. Scapegoat Salah
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 6 days ago

            Surely keep for West Ham at home and then DGW following that?

  16. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 6 days ago

    Stanislas to Willian for a -4?

    1. Big_Andy_GAWA
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      Do you have Mahrez?

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 6 days ago

        Yes.

        Salah | Gross | Mahrez | Mili | Stanislas

    2. potatoace
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      Why Alonso out?
      Also on hol so don't really know what's going on.
      Injured? Play badly?

      1. potatoace
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 6 days ago

        Reply fail.

      2. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 6 days ago

        Subbed for Emmerson with 10-15 to go, missed quite a few chances. Think I will keep for West Ham at home and then reassess (probably still keep for DGW)

    3. BrockLanders
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      I own Willian and hate him

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 6 days ago

        Lol ok. Actually think I will just start Mili/PVA instead if Stanislas injured then just get rid for DGW

  17. royals forever

    • 16 Years

    Who should I sell this GW

    Zanka

    or

    Pritchard

    Any ideas would be welcomed

  18. 5os
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 6 days ago

    GW32 wildcarders, how did your team do compared to last week's team?

    62 points for me this week. Last week's team would have scored 31. Best case scenario I would have brought in Aubameyang so I would be looking at something close to 45 points.

    There's the debate of whether wildcarding in GK33 would offer the advantage of extra information but I doubt that would cover 15-20 points.

    1. CloudSky
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      Same thing. Got 20-25 (Kaku or Auba) over last weeks team even accounting for FT.

    2. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      Virg had 65 without a WC 😉 all depends on your players and luck

      1. 5os
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 6 days ago

        Of course, it depends on how your team looked in GW31. A lot of us went in with a plan to wildard in 32 and had pretty much dead-end teams after GW31.

    3. Fantasyamateur
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      71 points with WC. Would have gotten 43 without WC and by doing Agüero to Lukaku which was my thinking..

      Glad I used my wildcard when I did! Also got all the price raises from Lukaku, Aubameyang etc.

      1. 5os
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 6 days ago

        Nice one! I didn't even take into account price rises as part of this but that's an important piece as well.

    4. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      74 without WC and got Auba price rises 🙂

      1. 5os
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 6 days ago

        Looks like you played your free hit in 31 though so your team for 32 was in much better shape.

        1. Hotdogs for Tea
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 6 days ago

          Yip, but completely undone by the way the fixtures fell, I was relying on the 31 blanks going to 34 (City, Arsenal & Swansea etc having DGW34 and a game in 35) ... now having to scramble a bit but 177 in the last 2 game weeks gives me a few -4 hits in the locker 🙂

    5. Whats the Huth
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      65 points without wildcard. And caught Auba price rises.

      I am going to WC36

    6. Rash
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      Pre team with bringing in Aubu would be 57

      Wc team got 72 with a load of price rises

    7. Ostrich Baby
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      84 points this week, last week's team was a FH, but the team before that would have barely scraped double figures...

  19. Karan_G14
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 6 days ago

    Bailly a certain sell before the DGW then?

    Can get Kane with funds released.

    1. CloudSky
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      City next so no biggie. Wil asses again before 34.

    Free Hit Chip - How Does It Work?

    If i make 8 transfers now for gw 33 and activate my free hit, can i continue to make changes without further hits up to the deadline or is it locked in?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      Like a wildcard some unlimited until deadline. You get your GW32 team back after deadline.

    2. CloudSky
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      You can continue to make transfers.

      1. Torres76
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 6 days ago

        Do you get any transfer value lost refunded?

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 6 days ago

          You get your old team back at the squads new team value.

    3. Guru Mediation
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 6 days ago

      It continues to have a zero cost for transfers once you play it. Really bad week to use it though

      1. ritzyd
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 6 days ago

        Using for 34, just wanted some clarity. Thanks all

      2. Big_Andy_GAWA
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 6 days ago

        Why would you do this particular GW??! 😮

        1. ritzyd
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 6 days ago

          For 34? Because i only have free hit and TC left - will have 11 starters for 35 given my current squad and 11 DGWeeker's for 37 with my free transfers from now until then. The only outlier to that would be a poor GW34 squad given the doubles so makes sense for me to free hit 34 and TC 37.

  21. Flynny
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 6 days ago

    Think that going with or without Kane could be make or break in dgw34

    I like may have a frontline on auba vardy and Barnes with some cash itb.

    Instead of just auba to lukaku for 34, I may replace auba and vardy with kaku and kane and downgrade a mid.

    My mini league is so tight and rival will have kane.

    City will play weakened team v spurs if league won  - and not having Kane for those 2 could be too damaging.

    Anyone agree?

      Why does City need to play a weakened team?

        If the league is wrapped up he has a history or rotating big time

          Rotate against easier teams.

      Agree it could defo make or break. Unsure what way though...

      Auba, Lukaku, Kane gonna give me headaches. Along with Vardy, Barnes and couple others.

      Agreed that Kane over GW33 - GW34 is the key decision now. sto, MCI, bha

      Spurs have a tougher schedule than Chelsea as they play Saturday then Saturday night then Tuesday night. So Spurs could rest int he Tuesday night game against Brighton.

      Chelsea play Sunday afternoon, Saturday lunchtime and Thursday night. But because of the FA Cup you can see Chelsea resting players on the Thursday game.

      Utd similarly have Saturday night, Sunday afternoon and Wednesday night. Utd are likely to rotate with Mata, Pogba, Fellaini, Rashford, Lingard and Matic all likely to share minutes.

      For me it is pointing toward 3 Leicester (no rotation risk given no FA Cup - Morgan, Mahrez, Vardy), 2 Liverpool (Robertson and Salah), 2 Spurs (Kane and Vertonghen), 2 Utd (DDG and Lukaku), 1 Chelsea (take your pick, but expect rotation). Then fill with Burnley, Brighton and Southampton.

      Mostly. But there’s a good chance that Spurs have a weakened team too with a Cup Semi 3 days later.

    Activated my WC and wondering if its stupid to go without United attack i.e. Lukaku? Cant seem to fit him in with Kane emerging:

    DDG Ryan
    Alonso £5.3m Morgan Tarkowski Lowton
    Salah Son Mahrez Willian Gross
    Aubameyang Vardy Barnes

    £2.1m banked

      I'd wait for Kane

      1. Red Rock
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 6 days ago

        How do you mean? Ignore him for BB34 and go with Lukaku as planned?

      Your team is pretty much like my WC which i used before saturdays games apart from i got Lloris iver DDG due to funds as i wanted to get kane for gw 34. I have Dunk as my 5.3 defender. Regretting it now.

      1. Red Rock
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 6 days ago

        Are you getting in Lukaku or Kane? Guessing the plan was to do Aub > Lukaku for BB34?

        At least you have more money to play around with having picked Dunk

          I'm going for Kane, their last 3 fixtures are quality.

    What's the general consensus on Mkhi after today's bench blocker of a performance?

  25. Viper
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 6 days ago

    Annoying that my bench got 6,2,5 and I got the 2 off my bench!

    1. Karan_G14
      • 9 Years

      My bench got exactly the same points and I got the 5 :p

        Thanks, debating wether to bring Kane back for Aubameyang or Firmino

    Poulter doing his best to qualify for Augusta here.

    1. diesel001

      Yep. Will be funny given the farce last week when he was told he had made it and hadn't.

    I have all my chips left. When should I play those chips? Thinking about the following

    Wildcard ??
    Triple Captain 34
    Free Hit 35
    Bench Boost 37

    Thanks

      WC38 would be interesting.
      Depends on your team for 33 or 36.

      Are you two brothers?

    Ahaha, classic wildcard woes. Spurs are going to beat Stoke next week 4 nil and I have no nice way of getting any of them in.

    1. diesel001

      Did tell you to stick to Auba(c) this week though. Did you heed the advice?

      1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 6 days ago

        Was going to switch back to Auba before deadline, but had to go out of the house urgently and got back too late 😆 serves me right for my yellow belly
