Gameweek 32 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) reaches its conclusion on Sunday with Bournemouth v West Ham United and Newcastle United v Tottenham Hotspur.

Fantasy interest is mainly focused on Kieran Trippier, Harry Kane and Dominic Solanke, all of whom are owned by over 25% of managers inside the top 10k.

Both matches kick-off at 14:00 BST.

At St James’ Park, Eddie Howe makes just one change from the side that lost 3-0 at Aston Villa, as Sean Longstaff returns to the starting XI. He replaces Anthony Gordon, who drops to the bench alongside Miguel Almiron and Callum Wilson.

Spurs also make just one change, with Pape Sarr coming in for Clement Lenglet. It means Cristian Stellini is either asking one of his midfielders to drop in at centre-back, or they are starting with a back-four system. If the latter scenario materialises, it’ll be the first time they have used a back four in a Premier League game all season.

It’s one alteration apiece at Bournemouth, too. Adam Smith comes in for Matias Vina for the hosts, while Nayef Aguerd starts at centre-back for West Ham in place of Thilo Kehrer.

  1. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    59 all out, not bad considering only had 9 players and forgot deadline lol

    1. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Probably beat some free hitters that

    2. PompeyUpNorth!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Ha ha but forgetting deadline is bad… always tweak team asap after last week just in case

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        I did do that tbf, but was meant to be making a couple of transfers at least (no keeper etc)

    3. Botman and Robben
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Haha, same exact score, no FH also.

    4. The Philosopher
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      51 all out with exactly the same scenario

  2. BrockLanders
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Liverpool vs Spurs/Ful in 34 is looking very tasty now. Be a brave man to ignore Salah at home with 2 absolute wonder fixtures
    That Spurs game could be any number..

    1. PompeyUpNorth!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Agreed

    2. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Hits for Salah Jota Trent incoming

      1. BrockLanders
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        *already done*

  3. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    When is Ferguson back for Brighton?

    1. BrockLanders
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Not sure. Enciso looks a decent alternative for the double at similar price

  4. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Is it time to switch out both Trippier and Pope on a wildcard?

    I've had Trippier since the start so have some value built up but think it's best spent further forward now

    1. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      GW36 i would keep

    2. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      How you get 6 goals and no Tripps involvement is some outlier

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        True but it's been ongoing and I can get KDB, Salah and Haaland with the value in Brighton etc.

    3. The Mentaculus
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Depends how much you value DGW36. Maybe double defence isn't quite what it used to be, but then a Kane consolation goal was always inevitable

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Yep, tbf I've got Kane currently so just roll with it (no choice anyhow today!)

        ... but I'm going to freshen up the squad.

    4. Fabreghastly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Not with a double coming up and 67% ownership

  5. sunzip14
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    What would you change on this WC? 0.2 itb.
    No BB, TC34, FH37/38

    Ederson, Iverson
    TAA, Trippier, Shaw, Estu, Botman
    Salah, Rashford, Grealish, Mitoma, Andreas
    Haaland, Jota, Isak

    1. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      G2G

    2. sunzip14
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Losing 3 Arsenal on WC to backfire?

      1. Scots Gooner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Probably not. Need to attack the doubles and they don’t have any

    3. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      That’s lasts weeks WC?

      1. sunzip14
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        ??

    4. Woutiraldi
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Don’t you need 3 Brighton?

    5. All Leeds Aren’t We?
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      I would get 3 Brighton. Steele in for Iverson or March in for Andreas if you can afford, otherwise G2G

  6. Haalander
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Listening to talkSPORT and they’re discussing an apparent bust up with Lorius at half time and he refused to come out second half. Don’t know whether it’s true or not just heard it there

    1. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Probably quivering under a table

    2. Scots Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Sounds like a Spurs captain

    3. Lord.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      No one should be forced to come out.

      1. PompeyUpNorth!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        ha ha

  7. PompeyUpNorth!
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Toney to Haaland a no brainer right?
    A. Yay
    B. Nay, but give me another option if you can ? 1FT 4.6 ITB, no chips
    Kepa (Raya)

    Tripp Trent Robbo

    Mac Salah Mit Marti (Andreas)

    Isak Watkins Toney

    Cheers!

  8. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Zouma has been a nice pick-up for 4.4m: 12, 6, 1(bench), 6

    1. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      yes, he has.

      Are you playing in a double or getting another defender (a Palace/ Man City is OK, but not great)

      1. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Tricky one, 50/50 at the mo, Newcastle have Soton (h) so will likely play Trippier

        May well have Stones, Dunk, Trippier (Zouma, Botman)

  9. Slitherene
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Maddison, Ode, Jesus -> Mitoma, March, Haaland

    For a hit?

    1. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      let me think about it 🙂

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

      WC in 34. No money tied up in any that go out.

      1. Crunchie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Cant get Haaland in without a hit I assume. Its a good move anyway, but if you have Kane i would use him insead

  10. Hairy Potter
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Great result for Newcastle. Double defence failed in FPL, but Isak saved my non-FH team. 70 points will do, but Newcastle back into 3rd far more important!

    1. PompeyUpNorth!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Same here. 72 non free hit with Isak

    2. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Nice, same here with double Newcastle defence

      Your own team is always more important than FPL, whether they play in the PL or not

  11. TorresMagic™
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 16 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Looks like 63 needed in Last Man Standing.

    https://www.livefpl.net/LMS

    1. sminkypinky
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Oh no. That’s my run at an end then. 62 all out.

    2. Firminooooo
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      70 points. Still standing.

  12. Ask Yourself
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    God next week’s benching dilemma looks grim. Who to bench?

    A) Kane (MUN)
    B) Mitoma (nfo)
    C) Grealish (ARS)

    1. PompeyUpNorth!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      I’d go B but it’s tough. Never bench Kane so that one’s obvious… the other 2 are close ones.

    2. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      C as Foden back anyway

    3. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Mitoma has to start. Coin flip for Kane and Grealish.

    4. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      C i think Mitoma is due.

  13. Sam (Team Sam)
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Feeling pretty smug with 76(-4) from 10 players and no free hit!

    Isak and Kane turned an okay week into a great one.

    Biggest regret is not getting Jota this week, as I'd planned. Got Watkins instead because I was scared.

    Also wanted Johnstone in for Kepa, for a second hit, but allowed myself to be talked out of it on here.

    1. PompeyUpNorth!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Nice one.

    2. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      I talked myself out of Jota for as i'd taken a -4 for Edouard fodder and salah, was thinking Jota against Leeds after Palace beat them 5-1. Only bought TAA that week.

      Should had done a -12 and get it done rather than -4 each GW, still it is what it is.

      Johnstone was the GK, but 2 mins away from a Raya 8 pointer was annoying

  14. gooberman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    I find it quite baffling that so many have used FH this week when they could have fielded 10 - 11 players with free transfers and maybe 1 hit. Dont understand the logic. DGW34 is the obvious FH week. Im happy with 66 from 10 players and a green arrow this week with FH in my pocket for GW34

    1. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Same, 60 with no FH played, gonna be stacked for 34 with the FH!

      Absolutely seething I took Isak + Schar out this GW though, but what’s done is done.

    2. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Some of is FH32 guys can get the 11 we want for gw34 without breaking sweat. Have 8-9 of them already

      1. Crunchie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Yep team dependant as always.

        I was not in sich luxury and could even FH

        1. Crunchie
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          such luxury and couldn't FH

    3. _Ninja_
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      I only had 6 players this week so had to FH really, i'll have 10 plays from City/ManU/Pool and Brighton in 34 anyway so no need to FH then. Plus a few decent single gw players.

      1. _Ninja_
        • 15 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Also, the main reason for the strategy is that i'll have these players before and after the DGW as well.

    4. The Mentaculus
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      1. That FH34 team you want? I want that to be my main team for the doubles in 37 also

      2. Would have been -16 selling DGW34 players to field 11 this week for me

      1. Crunchie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Yep, i am having to take hits but DGW 34 is close now. Jota upfront for Watkins GW34.

        A Brighton mid and maybe Grealish/Enciso instead.

        Dont know whether to play Zouma (Away to Palace and Man City) or just bring in Stones instead.

    5. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      I've gained 18 points using the FH this GW. I doubt I gain that many (if any) by using FH in DGW34 where I will be using TC on Haaland and will have 9 DGW'ers, Trippier (SOU) and either Martinelli or Isak.

    6. Qaiss
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      The world doesn’t revolve around you. I had 6 players and 1 free transfer if I didn’t free hit. I will have 9 or DGW players in 34 with Trippier and Toney.

  15. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Maddison / Kane > Rashford / Haaland (-4) make sense?

    1. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      yes or Grealish or Brighton Midfielder, lots of choice

      1. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Thanks

  16. T C
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Haaland for

    1) Kane
    2) Isak
    3) Watkins

    for rest of season?

    1. Hairy Potter
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      No

    2. fish&chips
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Absolutely not

    3. sulldaddy
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Step away from your keyboard.
      Haaland keep

    4. T C
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Sorry. I did a stupid. I mean bring in Haaland for 1, 2 or 3.

  17. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    A wildcard into this lot:

    Steele, Iverson
    White, Shaw, Alex Moreno, Konaté, Zouma
    Salah, KDB, Martenelli, Mitoma, March
    Haaland, Watkins, Isak

    £0.3m ITB.

    Will work on the defence over the next day or so. What would you suggest or change?

    1. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Is that your last chip?

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Yep

    2. CABAYE4
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Who do you bench in the front 8?

      I’d free up some funds for Trent.

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        One of the Brighton mids except for dgw's.

        I got Trent back in and Tarkowski outscored him on my bench! Just prefer the front 8 atm.

    3. The Mentaculus
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      BB34 I assume? Mid/fwd look great. Not sure about Konate, Shaw & White

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        I'm keeping White but the other 2 are open.

        No BB but will pick the defenders at home etc.

        Rashford is the compromise but I prefer a rested King Kev.

        1. The Mentaculus
          • 4 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          If no BB I would definitely rework the defence, maybe find funds for Trent rather than Konate

          1. The Mentaculus
            • 4 Years
            2 years, 11 months ago

            Agree on Kev. I'm getting him in this week too

          2. AC/DC AFC
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            2 years, 11 months ago

            I'll see what I can do there...
            he's almost £3m more so it would involve a few other compromises.

            Enjoy the semi-final.

    4. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      This is not a knee jerk but Villas's last good GW is 33. I wouldn't go there with Watkins/Moreno, or Shaw, Konate or White

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Watkins and White have been incredibly consistent tbf.

  18. The Final Boss
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Guys 70 all out on free hit, 32.4k in gw31, now upto 26.4k. Good rise?

    1. BrockLanders
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Yep. Any green arrow is nice

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Beats a red.

    3. sulldaddy
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      I believe something something
      Humble brag. 🙂

      Something something

  19. tbos83
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Firstly, woohooo Newcastle!!

    Secondly, thoughts on this line-up? Ideally would like to roll ft

    Raya
    Chilly Tripps Estup
    Mitoma Saka Rashford MacA
    Watkins Kane Haaland(c)

    Iversen Shaw Mahrez Mee

    1. fish&chips
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Looks decent enough. Just depends if you want to move early on a Liverpool asset I guess

      1. tbos83
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Yeah - though would mean Kane > Jota which feels risky

  20. fish&chips
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Predictions for whu vs liv?

    Debating whether I should take a hit to bring in one of trent / Salah / Jota and give myself a benching headache. Will probably bring in 2 or 3 for GW34 anyway so will just be taking the hit early if I make the move now

    1. Lord.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Liverpool usually struggle away from home, it is a dilemma. For me it’s between going with Kane and Saka, or bringing in Salah and Isak for a hit.

    2. The Mentaculus

      Its probably their worst remaining fixture, taking into account the away form as mentioned above. I only have Salah right now & am happy to wait til 34 before buying Jota/Trent/both

    Is Isak a decent alternative to Jota for 34 if funds are tight? Jota could be rotated and SOU screams goals for Isak

      Really like Isak tbf. Liverpool and Jota's fixtures look unreal though. Think TAA, Salah & Jota look fairly essential next few weeks. Even for hits

    So DGW 29 with my BB chip and all players doubling - 21 PTS.
    This week my FH budget bench fodder - 34 pts!

    One of the most fun to watch games in this season starts in a few mins, I predict a 4-1 BHA win

    1. Piggs Boson

      There will be goals for sure.

      I think Rashford will get in behind this Brighton backline, fed by Casemiro, Eriksen and Bruno.

      4-2 United.

    Played my WC ready for GW33 and 34.

    Allison (De Gea)
    Dunk-Trippier-Guehi (Shaw-Zouma)
    Salah-Mitoma-March-Grealish (Rashford)
    Haaland-Jota-Isak

    Any recommendations?

  26. Firminooooo

    Solanke over Jota, Toney, Kane or Isak on FH. Im an idiot.

    Bench two:

    A. Shaw(tot)
    B. Konate(whu)
    C. Estipinan(nfo)
    D. Dias(ARS)
    E. Trippier(eve)

    1. Benster
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      B and D

  28. Benster
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Somehow have to bench one of these:

    A. Martinelli (mci)
    B. Grealish (ARS)
    C. Mitoma (nfo)
    D. Rashford (tot)
    E. Watkins (FUL)
    F. Toney (che)

    1. SpaceCoyote97
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      I'd say Toney out of those options.

      A

    Great score this week with 77 (-4) and kept free hit for alter week, although people im chasing also scored big.

    60 points behind so I’m tempted to free hit in 36 vs 34 to try and chase, madness?

    Looks like I'm going to have a benching dilemma this GW with MacA, Saka or Isak. A couple of days to think it over.
