After a rare, normal Gameweek of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) in which all 20 teams played only once, we return to the carnage caused by Covid and cups with Gameweek 33.

Seven teams double and three teams blank in the upcoming Gameweek, while four sides are in FA Cup semi-final action before they return to Premier League duties in midweek.

Free Hits and Bench Boosts are being activated in the run-up to Saturday’s deadline (over 45% of responders in our poll said they would be playing one or the other), so we’ll have plenty of chip chat on our site.

Matt Doherty replacements are also up for discussion after the Irish wing-back was ruled out for the season.

Whatever your strategy or moves, we’ve collated all of our content for the upcoming Gameweek ahead of the FPL deadline at 11:00 BST today.

    Would you pick Sancho over Maddison for this DGW only? Fear that Maddison might get rotated.

    1. My neck my back my Saed Kol…
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Just for this week then yes I think

    2. XX SMICER XX
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      If you bring in Sancho then I would also keep for GW34

      1. PascalCygan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Agree

    3. Kun Tozser
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Yes, Ffs team lineups have maddi not playing

  2. Lionac
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Dennis to Wood worth a hit? Will WC next GW

    1. JollyGoodYellows
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah I think it could pay off

  3. JollyGoodYellows
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Is there a better time to FH than this week? Feel like I'm missing out on United.

    Current team is:

    Schemiecal
    TAA Cancelo Robertson Schar
    Salah Saka Kulu Maddison
    Kane Broja

    Ramsdale Rudiger Ramsey Cucho

    1. XX SMICER XX
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I would save the FH.
      If you really want United player then you have to lose Salah / Kane

  4. Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Is Kane better captain than Maddison? And why?

    1. XX SMICER XX
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I think Kane is the better option, I think you have to look at Leicester assets as playing only 1 game (due to rotation)

  5. Deulofail
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Lacazette's gone awol
    We'll take him off the payroll
    He'll go to Barcelona
    We'll get Welbeck on loan yeah!

  6. corderz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Captain:

    A) Salah
    B) Kane
    C) Saka

    1. PascalCygan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      B

    2. artvandelay316
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Not C.

      Spurs and Kane both in form, but Brighton might limit his points. Pool is also in form against a woeful Man U and Salah isn't exactly playing badly, just not scoring goals. This could be his moment to release some frustration, especially as they need the win to pressure City.

  7. PascalCygan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Fell asleep on the sofa last night, missed a load of prices rises! Anyway, could I have some help here please?

    Got 2FTs. How best to use them?

    A) Doherty + Raphinha > Schar + Maddison
    B) Doherty + Raphinha > Cancelo + Barnes
    C) Something else?

    2FT 2.4ITB
    Dubravka
    TAA Robbo White Doherty**
    Salah Saka Kulu Raphinha**
    Kane Weghorst

    Ramsdale Rudiger Cucho** Ramsey**

      1. Bubbles1985
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Nope.
        All on the pitch!

    4 years, 1 month ago

  12. Dave2008
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Which Free hit team A or B? I have 2 Fhs so using it this week.
    A
    Dubravka Steele
    Cancelo White Schar Amatey Tsimikas
    Son Bruno(C) Barnes KDH Saka
    Kane Ronaldo Broja

    B
    Schmeichel Steele
    Gabriel, Telles, Targett, Cancelo Tsimikas
    Son Bruno(C) Barnes KDH Saka
    Wood, Adams, Kane

    Thanks for any thoughts!

    There arent IMO a lot of single week players who stand out without the risk of the Chelsea/Liverpool/City FA cup semis across the weekend. So to me the upgrades in he other positions are in the end are probably not worth having CR7 and having Adams instead. So Schmeichel Gabriel, Telles, Targett, Wood, Adams instead of Dubravka, White,Amatey Schar, Broja, CR7

    1. XX SMICER XX
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      A for me

      1. Dave2008
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks yes I am thinking the same. It doesnt seem enough of an upgrade in the other positions to not have CR7

  13. Bennyboy1907
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Dubravka
    James TAA Cancelo
    Son Salah Kulu Saka
    Wood Weg Broja

    Sa Digne Tierney Raphina

    Anything worth a it? 0.4 in the bank

  14. Gudjohnsen
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Captain

    A. Maddison
    B. Son
    C. Saka
    D. Salah

    1. Bobby_Baggio
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      B

    2. Jönny
      • 17 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      B

    3. artvandelay316
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      B or D

  15. Bollard
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    You all know Maupay will be the highest scoring DGW player, right! 😉

  16. Bobby_Baggio
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    These moves sound for a -4?

    Willock + Laca + Doherty > Martinelli + Wood + Cancelo -4

    Ramsdale
    TAA - Livra - Schar
    Foden - Saka - Son - Salah - Willock
    Broja - Lacazette

    (Foster) - Rudiger - Antonio - Doherty

  17. TyroneGAA
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Schemichel

    Amarety Schar white cancelo

    Bruno son Barnes odegaard

    Ronaldo Kane

    Who to captain also can do cancelo and odegaard to Laporte and saka?

    1. artvandelay316
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Hope that's a free hit!
      Captain Son or Kane.

    2. Jönny
      • 17 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Like the Odegaard pick personally, I just went to check his price to see if I could take him over Martinelli but no dice.

      I have doubled on City defenders myself. Team looks great though I wonder if you'll get two games out of Amartey and I can't see many points from White myself.

      1. TyroneGAA
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Yes free hit.. thanks guys

  18. Jönny
    • 17 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Morning all. Any final thoughts on my Free Hit?

    Dubravka
    Laporte, Cancelo, Schar
    Son, Bruno, Maddison, JWP, Martinelli
    Kane, ASM (c)

    Bench: Justin, Mateta, Amartey, 3.9 keeper

    1. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Like the Captain pick

      1. Jönny
        • 17 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        I'm at that "nothing to lose" stage of the season. It's quite fun.

        1. g40steve
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          That’s the correct attitude, it’s a fun game & not serious

    2. waltzingmatildas
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Decent

  19. akhilrajau
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Get Dewsbury-hall and bench laca (352) for -8 is good?

  20. artvandelay316
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Is Havertz to Mount too sideways?

    1. The Mentaculus
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Any way to keep Havertz & get Mount as well for the double(s)?

  21. Kun Tozser
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    How many Brunos is too many?

    1. JT11fc
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      3

  22. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Who to Captain?

    Playing BB, GTG?

    #Pope
    Cancelo, Trent, #Schar, #Justin
    #Saka, Kulu, Salah, #Maddy
    Kane, Toney,

    #Ramsdale, #KDH, #Laca, Thiago,

    .4

    1. Jönny
      • 17 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Kane I think of those, though Watford are absolutely dire so a punt on Toney if you feel like mixing it up.

      1. g40steve
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        I keep missing Toney points 🙂

        Last two weeks benched him hence BB chip 🙂

        1. Jönny
          • 17 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Oh definitely don't captain then, guaranteed blank 😉

          1. g40steve
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

  24. waltzingmatildas
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Play Burn, Cedric or Livramento?
    Not sure any of them will get a clean sheet so maybe Livramento has the most attacking threat?

    1. waltzingmatildas
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Or do Schmeichel to Dubravka and upgrade burn to White?

    2. Pipermaru
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Play Burn

      4 years, 1 month ago

      B

  26. Vlad Tepes

    1. PascalCygan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Barnes?

  27. Saka White Rice

    4 years, 1 month ago

    Captain Kane or Bruno?

  28. Dragon Arcana
    • 14 Years
