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.

      Their defence is very unsettled. Only Kasper is safe

    1FT, 1.0 ITB

    Is there a need for FH or just do Weg => Wood FT?

    1. King Kohli
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 17 days ago

      Just the FT

  3. King Kohli
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 17 days ago

    Would you do Doherty + Raphina + King > Schar + Maddison + Wood(-4) and BB or hold it till 36?

    Gelhardt and Laporte - or Matip and Broja?

    1. Lucky Z
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 17 days ago

      Matip and Gelhardt until Dias is back

    2. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 17 days ago

      Former, just

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

      GL mainly as think Laporte good option for rest of season

  5. thepancakeman123
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 17 days ago

    Is Kulu > Maddison worth it if you're going to captain Maddison?

  6. DAZZ
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 17 days ago

    Silly to do Salah + Kulu > Son + Foden? Chasing.

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

      Not silly if willing to gamble but could go horribly wrong

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

      I'm not convinced by Foden, was very good from the start of the season but doesn't seem to be too involved of late

  7. PKnox11
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 17 days ago

    Keep Doherty or take a hit?

    Who to move Ait-Nouri out for? Was thinking Fofana but theres rotation risk and Newcastle defenders dont double in 36 or 37.

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

    Best Burnley defender except Tarko?

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

      Pope th hen probably Charlie Taylor

    2. PKnox11
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 17 days ago

      I dont think any of the rest are safe picks, I mean Roberts was benched today against Norwich.

      If you want an answer, I'm gonna say Charlie Taylor. I think he will play both games in GW33, because Pieters is still out injured.

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

    Really struggling to know what to do here. 2 free transfers, 1FH left and 0 m in bank. Any ideas welcome? Could do Gordon to Maddison, funded by Lacazette to Mateta and bench him to play next week and beyond ( play Maddison instead) for free and possibly Digne if out for season to Schär and play for double overJames/Kulusveski for -4

    Ramsdale

  10. FCSB
    • 10 Years

    Weghorst >> Wood (-4) ??

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

      Don’t think so.

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

        Annoying, desperate to get rid but other fires to fight

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

      I need to get rid too although not for a hit, not sure for who though. Toney probably my preferred option right now, want to consider ASM too with 2 home games coming up but haven't done too well with him of late

  11. The 12th Man
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 17 days ago

    Rory on a charge. Great chip in.

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

    Ronaldo, Bruno and Sancho all seeing net transfers out ahead of GW33 so far despite doubling. Man Utd! 😀

    1. The 12th Man
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 17 days ago

      2 tough games for them.

    2. NorCal Villan
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 17 days ago

      Easy call, Ronaldo will be phoning it in

  13. The 12th Man

    Triple Newcastle at the back. Triple City

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

      Not keen on going triple Newcastle defence. JWP not in form.

      1. The 12th Man
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 17 days ago

        Fancy him against Burnley and Arsenal.

  14. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 12 Years

    Raphina >

    A) Maddi
    B) Barnes
    C) KDH

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

      Maddison

    2. drughi
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 17 days ago

      A

    3. liiusions
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 17 days ago

      I’m going to decide after watching them on Thursday

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

        Do you think Maddison a doubt for both games of the DGW if he plays Thursday?

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

          yes

        2. BUZZBOMB ♡
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 17 days ago

          I dont think so. LEI have nothing to play for BPLwise but hoping Brendan gives his key player currently the minutes.

  15. GoonerGirl
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 17 days ago

    Would you still do Dewsbury-Hall if you already have Barnes or would you go Gordon? I was going to go for Gordon but DH has more games and is cheaper.

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

      DH

      1. GoonerGirl
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 17 days ago

        Thanks

  16. liiusions
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 17 days ago

    GW34 WC:

    Schmeichel Foster
    TAA Cancelo Laporte James Matip
    Salah Havertz Foden Maddison Gordon
    Kane Pukki Mateta

    Schmeichel 3.9
    TAA Cancelo Laporte James Matip
    Salah Havertz Foden Maddison Kulu
    Kane Gelhardt 4.5

    Is the second team much stronger than the first? Need to decide whether to use BB this week or not but current bench is looking very weak.

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

    Best option here:

    1. Raphinha Coutinho >> Dewsbury-Hall Son (-4)
    2. Coutinho >> Maddison
    3. Option 1, plus Weghorst >> Wood (-8 total)
    4. Option 2, plus Weghorst >> Wood (-4 total)

    Thanks

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

      1 looks good. Obviously also depends on who would play instead of Coutinho this week

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

        Current setup below mate:

        Ramsdale*
        TAA Rudiger Schar* Doherty
        Salah Saka* Barnes*
        Kane Weghorst* Broja*

        Dubravka Raphinha Kilman Coutinho

  18. Devos
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 17 days ago

    What to do? (WC in GW34)

    a) Kulu > Barnes
    b) Son > Bruno/KDB
    c) Salah > Bruno/KDB
    d) a combination of the above (-4)

    This is my current team:

    Schmeichel
    TAA / Robertson / Cancelo
    Salah / Son / Saka / Kulu / Maddi
    Laca / Weghorst
    B: Foster / Burn / Dennis / Cash

    1. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 17 days ago

      Not keen on any of those. Burn to Newcastle defender, or lose one of those underperforming DGWers up front.

      1. Devos
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 17 days ago

        Burn is a Newcastle defender...

        I agree with you that my strikers are under performing, but I find it hard to sell a dgw-player. Especially when I don't see any alternative up front. Do you?

    2. Warby84
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 17 days ago

      Mdf is perfect, why change it??

      1. Devos
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 17 days ago

        To get an extra dgw-player in the squad.

  19. bitm2007
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 17 days ago

    Sanchez**
    White**, Cancelo, TAA, Doherty
    Saka**, Barnes**, Son, Bowen
    Broja**, Kane (c)

    Steel, Rudgier, Watkins, Raph

    2FT, 1.7m

    What would you do here ?

    Only 5 DGWers, but all my SGWers have good fixtures so I'm reluctant to lose any of them.

  20. Gunners in Haaland
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 17 days ago

    Is this midfield good to go for dgw33?

    Salah-Saka-Barnes-Sancho-Son

    1. Warby84
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 17 days ago

      I have Sancho.. umm

    2. PKnox11
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 17 days ago

      Yeh Id be happy with that.

  21. CheesyZoot
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 17 days ago

    Raphinha to Maddison a no brainer?

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

      Raphinha out is. Midweek = issues.

  22. Maddamotha
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 17 days ago

    Did Weg go off injured?

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 17 days ago

      No, just crap

    2. PKnox11
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 17 days ago

      No he was just playing badly.

    3. Warby84
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 17 days ago

      Who cares

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

      No he fell at the last hurdle

  23. PKnox11
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 17 days ago

    Whats the opinion on having only BB left? Is it really a worthy chip at this point?

    1. Warby84
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 17 days ago

      Play in 36

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

      play it in 33. That will allow you to downgrade your 3rd striker and you can build a stronger first 11.

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

    Robbo and Ramsey to Schar and Maddison for a hit?

    This will only give me 4 DGW players and saving the FH since i got some good SGW players.

    1. Warby84
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 17 days ago

      Robbo is a great single GW player

  25. EL tridente
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 17 days ago

    Which transfer to make?
    A) Salah to Bruno and then probably back again for 34
    B) Watkins to ASM/Wood (then I Will have to bench Reece James)

    1. Warby84
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 17 days ago

      A makes no sense, B to Wood maybe

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

      So few transfers left and you want to waste one playing Salah hokey cokey? And to Bruno?

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

    Raph to Maddison for free this week? Would give me this team..

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

    Ramsdale - Weg - Doherty - Cucho

    1. mr. inconspicuous
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 17 days ago

      Looks good who are captaining?

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

    I think I might bench two DGW forwards (Broja and Weghorst). First for everything I guess.

  28. mr. inconspicuous
    • 16 Years
    4 years, 17 days ago

    Anyone going without Salah if wildcarding in 34?

  29. PKnox11
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 17 days ago

    Play Broja over James or not? I mean James could get a good haul against Arsenal, IF he starts that is.

    1. mr. inconspicuous
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 17 days ago

      Would start James, should start if Chelsea get knocked out of champions league

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

      I'd play James. Southampton look trash

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

    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)
