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.

    Got 62pts. (+20 on bench which is relevant bearing in mind BB planned for GW34)
    Would have had 42 with last week's side (if i had started Chilwell).
    Hard to judge because plan to WC in GW32 enabled 108 pts in GW31.
    Also (possibly Kane aside) don't think a GW33 WC would be much different.

    2. TorresMagic™

      Pretty sure you didn't with your 1st WC.

  3. TorresMagic™

    Looks like 56 will be the LMS safety score.

      Not even close! I had a decent run, cheers for organising TM

      That’s me done then - guess I should’ve played the WC...
      Thanks for organising TM and good luck!

    7. runny
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Is that before or after a points deduction for an extra transfer? I assume after, so a 56 and a -4 won't make the cut?

  4. Snikii

    8 years, 2 months ago

    Lukaku vs Kane for the DGW will be torture

    1. Torres76
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Kane returning has put a right spanner in the works ...

      1. Tiki-Taka
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        we knew before this GW starting he was on his way back so everyone on/off WC had time to plan

    2. Sandy Ravage
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Neither will be even worse

      1. Flynny
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Or both (for a hit...) and lose someone like son....

        Ibe and matic both dgw enablers at 4.7m

        1. European Bob
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          That's my plan right there

          1. European Bob
            • 13 Years
            8 years, 2 months ago

            But also need Alonso and the funds only allow for Lewis Cook as the enabler. Still, he must be due one

    3. JustPark
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      I'm getting both. Save the headache.

    4. Kryten
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      Add the face alot of people will be getting rid of aubamayang

      1. Flynny
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Going without Kane could be fatal in gw34 if like me you are in an extremely tight mini league and Kane smashes it. .

    5. ThisTimeNxtYrRodney
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Both for me. Wildcarded last week and significantly boosted my funds, so plan is, lukaku to Kane this week, then auba to lukaku for gw34. Along with vardy this should ensure 3 premier strikers for 32,33 and 34 for Dgw with BB. Then free hit 35.

    What are people's thoughts on Gudmundson if he shakes of his injury?

    1. Big_Andy_GAWA
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      I'd say get to the hospital...or maybe have a brandy or two - they're supposedly good for the shakes... 😉

    2. Tiki-Taka
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      coming in for me (as planned) to enable Kane with 2 FT's GW34

  6. Scotty B
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Foster
    Ake Baines Alonso
    Walcott Salah Eriksen Shaqiri
    Aubamayang Lukaku Deeney

    Elliot VLP TAA Schindler

    0.3 ITB & FT
    Which option is better?
    A TAA & Walcott > Morgan & Willian (-4)
    B VLP & Deeney > Groß & Barnes (-4)
    C Alonso & Walcott > Maguire & Mahrez (-4)
    D Schindler & VLP > Chilwell & Lennon (-4)

    1. Planet Head
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      I'd just do Schindler to Chilwell, or save it

  7. Torres76
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Teams expected to have a doubler on week 37?

    Cheers

  8. Mike82
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Firmino or Aubameyang for the run in?

    1. JustPark
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Auba.

    2. Torres76
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Slightly edging towards Bobby. Reds play Stoke and West Brom but Klopp could wrap his front 3 in cotton wool if they make the semi finals

    3. Kryten
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Yeah but would concentrate on getting dgw players

    4. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Depends on CL result. If Liverpool win Auba. If they lose then Firmino

      1. Mike82
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Just thinking Auba will have a double over Bobby

  9. Torres76

    Previous page repost. Sorry.

    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

    1. Mike82
      • 9 Years

      Wildcard now
      TC 37

      TC Lukaku in GW 34. In GW 37, the fates of teams will already have been sealed.

      1. Rash
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        TC Kane in 37 I'll be going with

  10. JustPark
    • 10 Years

    Is JWP is injured or something?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years

      Not in Hughes plans.

  11. Elly88 > KTR (Kevin The …
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Can someone give a wild guess of any DGW 34 teams that will have a double GW 37? I suppose it is the teams that have a blank GW 35 right?

    1. Mike82
      • 9 Years

      See an above from Torresmagic

          • 14 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          For a start I reckon Man U has the easiest fixtures in GW 34 so I get all of them plus Willian so that I bench them in GW 35...

    GW rank 12,159 and the BBC reposted my chocolate pun. BEST DAY EVER

    1. potatoace

      Let's hear it then.

      1. Planet Head
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Wasn't funny tbf, they were just asking people to write in with footballers names with a chocolatey twist. They gave an example of Marc OverMARS and I wrote CornEto'o. Technically an ice cream. Should stick to the day job really. Or playing FPL - had 4 differentials come in 🙂

        1. potatoace

          Lol. Nice.

  13. MiLK2018
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Any thought or suggestion for below WC of mine? Thanks 🙂

    Pope/Ryan
    Vertonghen/Smalling/Chilwell/Fernández/Lowton
    Salah/Mahrez/Son/Willian/Lingard
    Lukaku/Aubameyang/Barnes

    1. puhd
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Like it a lot except for Pope. Can you upgrade him and maybe downgrade Lingard?

    2. DAZZ
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Kane is fit. Kane needs to be in any WC from here on in

      1. bench boost for every gamew…
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        why?

  14. Lucky Z
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    DDG
    Alonso Chilwell Lowton
    Hazard Alexis Mahrez Cork
    Kane Lukaku Barnes

    What about this squad for 34FH?

    Cork is and obviois weak chain, but he is an enabler

    1. puhd
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Good

  15. puhd
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    On my WC I went for Bailly over Smalling and Morgan over Chilwell.... dammm

    1. Kryten
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      I think bailly will come back in

  16. DAZZ
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Think Auba might be a better option than bobby over the next few GW's? Im thinking Kane Auba Barnes on my wildcard this week.

    1. puhd
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      So difficult to choose two between Auba Kaku and Kane

    2. F4L
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      he does look hungry. Should get 90 most games as well

  17. Ronnies
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    The big question is .........

    kane or lukaku for gw 34 ?

    1. Syd.
      • 17 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Lukaku

    2. Duffy Dunk
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Lukaku
      WBA bou

    3. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Thinking both.

      Go with Kane - Auba - Vardy for GW33. Save 1m ITB. Then upgrade Auba to Lukaku for GW34 with a FT.

    4. Tiki-Taka
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      both

    5. F4L
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Surely Lukaku

      1. F4L
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        but both if you can

      • 12 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Both then work backwards.

  18. Karan_G14
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Defensive options look pretty bad right now.

    Trying to find replacements for Bailly can’t find any good options for GW34.

    Swansea def worth considering?

    1. Rash
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Spurs def?

      1. Karan_G14
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Have Vertonghen

    2. @fpl_phenom
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      would you consider Smalling ....

      1. Karan_G14
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Nah not going near United CBs now.

    Would you guys do below ?

    GW33 -4 points
    Lukaku > Kane
    Alonso > Christensen

    GW34 -4 points
    Aubamayang > Lukaku
    Bailly > Smalling/Jones (who ever looks nailed)

    1. @fpl_phenom
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      probly gonna captain Aubamayang at home v Southampton so maybe it’s not worth it?....

  23. Ostrich Baby
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.

    Forgetting that is the greatest folly of FPL managers, particularly on here. Discuss.

    1. evilfish
      • 10 Years

      Um, no.

  24. Pep's Money Laundry
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    A bit of benching headache this week, what do you think

    Ryan
    Alonso Vertonghen Morgan Lowton
    Salah Son Mahrez Willian
    Aubameyang Murray

    DDG, Lukaku Fernandez Gudmundsson

    Before anyone says it Murray is at home to Huddersfield

    1. Ostrich Baby
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Benching Lukaku for Lowton is the stupidest of calls.

      1. Pep's Money Laundry
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        That's the one I'm juggling with but lowton could get cs against watford

    2. Chrisirwin01
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Can't see Burnley keeping a clean sheet. So maybe Lowton >> Gudmundsson. 3-5-2.

  27. @fpl_phenom

    I’ll get Lukaku back for GW34 in place of Aubamayang

    1. UshFPL
