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.

    4 years, 7 days ago

    Bench one
    1) Reguillon
    2) Rudiger

    (Other defenders Cancelo, Dalot (DGW), Schar (DGW)

    1. artvandelay316

      A

      1. Blens
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 7 days ago

        Thanks - thats 1-1 now with replies - its a tough one!

    2. Jacktastic
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 days ago

      I’ve just benched Rudiger for Livramento

      1. Blens
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 7 days ago

        Thanks - its a really tough one..

    3. Bocaginge
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 days ago

      I’d be playing both over Dalot (even with his DGW)

      1. Blens
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 7 days ago

        LoL - really? That was something I was thinking about a couple o days ago ...hmmm now I have 3 options!

        1. Bocaginge
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 7 days ago

          100% got to play the percentages. Both Reguillon and Rudiger have a higher ceiling for points in there single game. Utd have been woeful and Norwich are battling for survival, then there’s Liverpool next up.

          1. Blens
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 7 days ago

            Fair play - thanks mate! Needed a reality check.

      2. No Kane No Gain
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 days ago

        Play dalot. WB not in squad today.

        1. Blens
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 7 days ago

          Wow no WB? Injured? That was a rotation worry for me - if Dalot is a bit more nailed to play both games, that would make it tougher a choice!

          1. No Kane No Gain
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 7 days ago

            Fellow Member FourLokoLeipzig posted linked me this.
            https://mobile.twitter.com/UtdDistrict/status/1515047041210146819

            Looks like Dalot will play for sure.

            1. Blens
              • 9 Years
              4 years, 7 days ago

              Thanks - Yes, think he'll play against Norwich - but will he also against Liverpool and not be rotated with W-B...that was the bit I'm unsure about. If W-B is injured then there's more of a chance.

              1. No Kane No Gain
                • 7 Years
                4 years, 7 days ago

                Yes but WB is not in squad. Possible injury. If dalot does well, it sets him up good for Liverpool. WB has been poor and he barely wins when starts as well.

                1. Blens
                  • 9 Years
                  4 years, 7 days ago

                  Thanks mate

  2. Jacktastic
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 7 days ago

    Double Game-week madness, I’ve just put the armband on Wood.

  3. beetlejuice
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 7 days ago

    A- Salah to Bruno (c) for free
    B- Save it and captain Son?

    Still have WC and 1 FH

    1. artvandelay316
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 days ago

      Save

  4. Millie7
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 7 days ago

    Dubravka
    Robbo Trent Soyoncu Schar
    Salah Kulu Saka Maddison
    Lacca Kane

    FH this?

  5. artvandelay316
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 7 days ago

    Havertz to Mount too sideways?

    1. Marty McFly
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 7 days ago

      Yeh. Plus Havertz could easily haul.

    2. Jacktastic
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 days ago

      Yes, either could return but no way of predicting which one

  6. FPLMACKEM
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 7 days ago

    How is this BB squad looking? im probably going to take a -8 to get it.

    De Gea
    TAA, Cancelo, Rudiger
    Salah (c), Son, Kulusevski, Saka
    Broja, Weghorst, Wood

    Ramsdale, Livramento, Schar, Barnes.

    Really want to get this BB out of the way then I can reset my squad next week with the WC. Please let me know what you think.

    1. artvandelay316
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 days ago

      Maddison is better than Barnes. People said he looked poor midweek too.

      1. FPLMACKEM
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 7 days ago

        Would be another -4 to get Barnes. Have other priorities to get schsr, wood and broja in.

        1. FPLMACKEM
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 7 days ago

          *maddison

    2. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 days ago

      I like. Go for it!

    3. Pipermaru
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 days ago

      Yeah, Play BB

  7. Marty McFly
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 7 days ago

    G2g?

    SCHMEICHEL
    James - Cancelo - SCHAR - WHITE
    Salah - Havertz - SAKA - MARTINELLI
    Kane (c) - BROJA

    (Foster - Robbo - Cucho* - Raph*)

    My primary concern is I only have one playing bench player and a couple of rotation risks. I do have another FT but ideally want to save it to downgrade Raph to either Ramsey or Gordon when I have a clear idea around how the doubles will fall following the fa cup semi final results. Assuming Chelsea beat Palace, I will probably do something like:

    34 - Raph + Schar > Gordon + Alonso
    35 - Cucho > ???
    BB36 - Broja > ???
    FH37

  8. Dragon Arcana
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 7 days ago

    Start Weghorst or the Dews? Can’t believe it’s come to this

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 days ago

      Who is Dews?

      1. Dragon Arcana

      Weg and Beg

  9. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE

    4 years, 7 days ago

    On FH..

    A) Wood (3-4-3), KDH + Amartey bench
    B) Barnes (3-5-2), Fodder + Amartey bench

      2

      Captaincy feels tricky this week. I'd probably go Salah if I had him.

  11. ebb2sparky
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 7 days ago

    For this week only, Reguilon or Laporte?

    1. Jacktastic
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 days ago

      Laporte

    2. Pipermaru

      Kane

  14. Baron Penguin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 7 days ago

    Life was so much simpler before I took FPL seriously. I would have happily played Laca without a care in the world, now I have taken a -4 to get Wood and benched Laca and will be bothered about it until the Arsenal team is out!

  15. winchester
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 7 days ago

  16. hustler7

    1. PascalCygan

      No, go for it

      1. Bennyboy1907
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 7 days ago

        Who’s your captain this week?

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

          Kane but I’m unsure

  19. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 7 days ago

    Maddison or Wood for 1 week only

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

      Maddison

  20. The FPL Units
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    4 years, 7 days ago

    FH g2g?

    Dubravka
    Robbo Cancelo Schar
    Son Bruno Maddison Martinelli Bruno G
    Ronaldo Kane

    Bench: 3.9 Royal Tsimiskas 4.5

  21. Old Bull
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 7 days ago

    Who thinks there’s a danger Maddison won’t play in both games?

    1. Bennyboy1907
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 days ago

      Yuppp

    2. The Tinkerman
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 days ago

      He will start one - Leicester fan.

      He’s been our best player this season, KDH aside.

      Outside chance he starts both but I personally think he will be rested tomorrow and play midweek.

      1. RamaJama
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 7 days ago

        Will Barnes get more minutes? Or does this mean avoid Lei attackers on FH?

        1. No Kane No Gain
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 7 days ago

          Maddison still can outscore barnes if he plays 120 and barnes 180 still

        2. The Tinkerman
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 7 days ago

          Barnes was hauled off at half time midweek. Hell play some part in both games, but Lookman offers more IMO. Perez bursting back on to the scene may rotate with Maddison.

          Barnes has been poor for a while sadly.

    3. No Kane No Gain
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 days ago

      There’s a danger. The question is how big.

      I think he’s benched for one, probably tomorrows game.

    4. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 days ago

      I am the danger

  22. Teddy10
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 7 days ago

    Captain Saka or Salah?

  23. The Tinkerman
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 7 days ago

    Bench one:

    A) Fofana
    B) Broja
    C) Weghorst

      Morning all. These moves sound for a -4?

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

                Not much consensus on captaincy. FH teams to look at left right & centre

                1. @persecuted_by_mods
                    4 years, 7 days ago

                    Gotta make sure I don't get dragged along with the wave, looking some FH teams I'd only want 1 or 2 and even them I'm unsure on

                Think I’ve landed on this FH team, taking some gambles, what do you think?

                Dubravka
                Schar, Cancelo, Telles
                Saka, Son, Maddison, Bruno (C)
                Kane, Wood, Ronaldo

                Subs: 3.9, KDH, Cedric, Tsimikas

                Still uncertain whether Wood or Martinelli team.
