Gameweek 32 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) concludes at the Etihad this afternoon, as Manchester City host Liverpool in a mouthwatering clash at the top of the table.

Pep Guardiola makes three changes from Tuesday’s Champions League win over Atletico Madrid.

Kyle Walker replaces Nathan Ake at the back, while further forward, Gabriel Jesus and Phil Foden start alongside Raheem Sterling, with Ilkay Gundogan and Riyad Mahrez dropping to the bench.

Ruben Dias and Cole Palmer remain sidelined by injuries.

As for the visitors, Diogo Jota leads the line as Luis Diaz drops out.

Elsewhere, Joel Matip starts ahead of Ibrahima Konate and Jordan Henderson replaces Naby Keita.

The Reds are targeting an 11th straight league win, and victory would take them above City in the table.

    Ditch one:

      All of them. But probably priority in the order listed given A doesn't have a game and B only a single

    Bottomed. Was going to FH this week, but how does the following look if I didn't (-8)?

    Schmeichel
    Cancelo, TAA, James, White (Doherty)
    Salah, Barnes, Kulusevski, Saka, Havertz
    Kane (Broja, Gelhart)

    1. FCSB
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 17 days ago

      You forgot to include ‘the following’ part mate

      1. Biggsy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 17 days ago

        Sorry, that was the following part

        Moves are Sa, Rudiger and Raphinha to Schmeichel, Cancelo and Kulu

        1. FCSB
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 17 days ago

          Hmmm…. Could you get Son is for -8 ?

          1. Biggsy
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            4 years, 17 days ago

            Yes. Probably means Havertz and Raph to Son and 4.5m - almost did that with Gordon this week, went Kilman to Doherty instead 🙁

            1. Belli2007
              • 15 Years
              4 years, 17 days ago

              Dewsbury Hall a shout at 4.4 with Leicester a few doubles coming up

          2. Biggsy
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            4 years, 17 days ago

            Or I can lose Salah and probably work in Son and KDB easy

            1. FCSB
              • 10 Years
              4 years, 17 days ago

              Yeah I think I’m gonna hold Salah, we all know the damage he can do

              I like the Havertz Raph to Son 4.5 move… I’m considering Coutinho Raphinha >> Son KDH myself

              1. Biggsy
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 11 Years
                4 years, 17 days ago

                Yeah like the KDH pick.

                Main worry is that it means with Broja, Gelhart and a 4.5m I'm running a lot of budget players.

                That said, Son is killing my rank each week

                1. FCSB
                  • 10 Years
                  4 years, 17 days ago

                  Same and the form might not continue but if you can’t beat them, join them

                  1. Biggsy
                    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                    • 11 Years
                    4 years, 17 days ago

                    That's what I thought about my Kilman to Doherty move this week....

                    1. FCSB
                      • 10 Years
                      4 years, 17 days ago

                      Savage mate… that’s another thing we need to sort

                      What you going to do about him!

                      1. Biggsy
                        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                        • 11 Years
                        4 years, 17 days ago

                        No idea ATM. Whol idea was building towards a 36 BB but now thinking Schar because it's probably an extra hit so why not a cheaper doubler this week. Crap game for him in 36 tho

                      2. FCSB
                        • 10 Years
                        4 years, 17 days ago

                        At least most will have to shift him out too so no real ground lost

    2. Catilo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 17 days ago

      Very solid I reckon. I'd play Broja over White though.

      1. Biggsy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 17 days ago

        Tough one. Arsenal have looked shaky with Partey's injury but not like Broja has shown anything for the last 5 or 6 weeks

  3. Nate(U)dog(ie)
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 17 days ago

    I was thinking of bringing in Maddison but am I being a bit silly for thinking of passing? Leicester have 3 of their next 4 away from home where they're a lot poorer. Only 3 wins away from home this season (with 2 against bottom 3 sides) and the GW33 fixtures are against sides that have improved a lot at home in particular (Everton only conceded 2 in 5 at home under Lampard). Am I overthinking in preferring to just move out Weghorst instead?

    1. FCSB
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 17 days ago

      Not silly at all, he’s also due a rest particularly if he plays midweek

  4. Fred the Red
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 17 days ago

    Why is Broja such a popular asset? He hasn't scored or assisted since GW 24!

    1. FCSB
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 17 days ago

      People have other pressing issues and have also held for his double, he will then rot on many benches after 33 no doubt

    2. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 17 days ago

      People had him off that run of form and held because of doubles and chance he comes good again

    3. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 17 days ago

      He's a 5m forward
      Not like King and Hwang have been doing much better

    4. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 17 days ago

      Other issues, he doubles, is cheap and rested after not playing against his home team Chelsea.

  5. FCSB
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 17 days ago

    Weghorst has a DGW ok, but will he even play both games, Dyche seemingly getting more and more frustrated with him and subbing off early

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 17 days ago

      He hauls if you sell/bench.

      1. FCSB
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 17 days ago

        That’s how the story goes… you holding or getting Wood? 😉

    2. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 17 days ago

      I think he's gotta go. Especially with the early sub implying Dyche is losing patience

      1. FCSB
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 17 days ago

        I’d switch for Wood but not sure it’s worth -4

        1. Biggsy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 17 days ago

          Norwich for Wood after this week so maybe worth a punt. Wouldn't if you're looking to use BB in 36 tho

          1. FCSB
            • 10 Years
            4 years, 17 days ago

            That’s what I’m thinking, might be worth it in the long run

  6. SKENG
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 17 days ago

    A bit early but does this look like an easy save for DGW33? Got 1 FT, 1.2m ITB.
    Thiago Silva can come in for Doherty if he's injured.

    Schmeichel (Ramsdale)
    TAA Cancelo Doherty* (Silva Digne*)
    Salah Son Kulusevski Saka Maddison
    Lacazette Broja (Gelhardt*)

  7. The Mighty Hippo
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 17 days ago

    Ramsdale | Dubravka
    James | Thiago Silva | Davies | Doherty* | Coady*
    Salah | Son | Havertz | Maddison | Saka
    Lacazette | Toney | Adams

    I'm looking to play my BB chip next week, so I'll definitely be getting rid of Coady. I've got 1FT and 1.5M in the bank. What options look best?

    a) Doherty + Coady >> Cancelo + Amartey
    b) Doherty + Coady >> Matip + Laporte
    c) Doherty + Coady >> Laporte + Targett
    d) Doherty + Coady + Salah >> Cancelo + Matip + KDB
    e) Coady >> Matip or Laporte (and if so, which one)?

    Doherty out for the season

      4 years, 17 days ago

      Only pleased it wasn't a hit to bring him in for that 1 pointer. Of course it probably will be to lose him. Feel sorry for the lad given the recent form

    Wowza, Doherty out for the season... the GW I bring him in, can't make it up!

    1. Slitherene
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 17 days ago

      Who is gonna replace him in the 11?

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        4 years, 17 days ago

        Reg/Sess and Royal.

      2. Sun Jihai
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 17 days ago

        Emerson Royal I guess. Quite a downgrade. 4.5m not bad value though.

    2. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 17 days ago

      Sauce?

      1. FortunesAlwaysHiding
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 17 days ago

        Except he's not is he.

  11. Slitherene
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 17 days ago

    Davies or Taylor for the run in?

    1. The Mighty Hippo
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 17 days ago

      Davies

  12. Kodap
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 17 days ago

    What should I do with this lot guys? Brought Doherty and Cucho in this week in prep for a BB in 36, was planning on Raph > Maddison but do I now take a -4 and make that move & shift Doherty anyway?

    DDG
    Cancelo - James - Taa - Robbo
    Kulu - Son - Saka - Salah - Maddison
    Broja

    Ramsdale - Weg - Doherty - Cucho

  13. OffsidePenalty
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 17 days ago

    Any help? My team does only have 2 DGW players. (Planning WC in GW34)
    
I was planning to do FH GW33, but now im thinking about saving it.

    
a) Robbo > Schar
    
b) Ramsey -> Maddison
    
c) Doherty (out rest of the season) -> Schar or Castagne
    d) Take -8 and do all of the above? This will result in 5 DGW players.

    

This is my current team:
    

Ramsdale
    
TAA / Robertson / Cancelo / Doherty(out rest of season)
    
Salah / Mount / Saka / Kulu / Ramsey

    Kane

    Bench: Foster / Edouard / Kilman / Hwang

    1. Belli2007
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 17 days ago

      When are you saving FH for? Do you have other chips left?

      1. OffsidePenalty
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 17 days ago

        I have WC(GW34), BB(GW36) and FH(for 37 or even 38 as a finisher)

        I just cant see any good FH drafts for GW33. Thats why im thinking about saving.

        1. Belli2007
          • 15 Years
          4 years, 17 days ago

          I don't have WC but in good shape to get a good BB team in place for GW36. Are there more matches to be added in 37/38? I was intending FH this week but they are not great games to maximise FH opportunity

          1. OffsidePenalty
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 17 days ago

            GW37 will also be a DGW.

            GW38 will just be a differensial for using FH.
