In the latest article from our team of Hall of Famers and guest contributors, three-time top 500 finisher FPL General reveals his big team decisions for Gameweek 32. There are two transfers in the offing this week…

FPL General Gameweek 5

GAMEWEEK 31 REVIEW

FPL General Gameweek 32

Ditching Phil Foden (£8.2m) on the Gameweek 30 Wildcard came back to bite me on Wednesday night. The Manchester City midfielder scored a hat-trick which brought his goal tally for the season to 14. The prospect of a green arrow after that was not looking good but Thursday night was a lot more enjoyable with Cole Palmer (£6.0m), Alejandro Garnacho (£4.9m) and Darwin Nunez (£7.6m) delivering the goods. Getting Garnacho’s 14-pointer from the bench was very satisfying and it secured a small green arrow from 91k to 87k. The goal of getting nine green arrows following the Wildcard is still on! 

What a player Cole Palmer is. The fact that he has registered 25 attacking returns (16 goals + 9 assists) despite not starting a game until Gameweek 7 is crazy. After scoring six times in his last three appearances, surely he’s the best captaincy candidate this weekend away to Sheffield United. Don’t fall into the player price trap with Palmer. As FPL managers, we are conditioned to captain picks that cost £10m+ but the Chelsea talisman is performing consistently like a £10m+ pick. He’s certainly in my mind for the armband decision this weekend.

However, there are other strong candidates, too. There’s Son Heung-min (£10.1m) at home to Nottingham Forest, Mohamed Salah (£13.4m) away to Manchester United and the option of a rested Erling Haaland (£14.3m) at Crystal Palace. It’s not a straightforward decision. Many engaged managers are likely to move towards Palmer now due to the fixture and recency bias but I’m tempted to go elsewhere to chase some upside. It’s going to be a fun weekend ahead in terms of captaincy picks…    

Gameweek 32 Bus Team

Best of luck this weekend folks and make sure you give today’s episode of the 59th Minute Podcast a listen at some point before the deadline.

Wish you all green arrows.

      People trying to stack midfield while haaland has cooled off a little. I think it’s a mistake as I’m captaining haaland…

        • 13 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

        I'm captaining too. I think it's a good fixture for him.

      what's B lol

      I think Tony answered that.

      Over 10% of your budget dedicated to a bloke who's had one double-digit haul since Mariah Carey was on the radio (For context, Palmer has had SEVEN in that time)

      It's risky but it's understandable.

    5. Rupert The Horse

      AI misses nothing.

  4. RICICLE
    • 3 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Can someone please clarify, so Spurs have one double now in 35, whereas Chelsea have two doubles in GW’s 35 & 37?

    Cheers.

    1. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      no they have a double in 37 too

      1. RICICLE
        • 3 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

        Cheers bud, yeah Tony just helped on previous page

        So the postponed ones are likely

        CHE: NFO & BHA

        TOT: BUR & MCI

        In GW 37 I think, I think that’s right.

        1. Crunchie
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          1 year, 8 months ago

          Thats right mate.

          I am just staying away from Chelsea defence (maybe Spurs too)

          1. Crunchie
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            1 year, 8 months ago

            Not doubling up i mean. Gusto maybe OK? but i have had him since GW20 WC and has done sweet FA.

    2. x.jim.x
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Spurs double in 37 too (I think)

      1. RICICLE
        • 3 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

        Yeah that’s right, and Chelsea in 37 also I think

  5. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 13 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Dubravka
    Gabriel Saliba Porro
    Saka Salah Son Maddison Palmer
    Toney Darwin
    Morris Doughty Cash Aerola

    Have 1 free and 2.9 in da bank.
    Open to suggestions.
    Help appreciated.

    1. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      I am guessing you have some chips left?

      1. DA Minnion (Former great)
        • 13 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

        Yeah wildcard , free hit and bench boost.

        1. Crunchie
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          1 year, 8 months ago

          ok guessing FH34/WC35/BB37?

          Dub to a better GK or Morris to Cunha or Roll for 2FT in case Haaland plays at home to Luton

          1. DA Minnion (Former great)
            • 13 Years
            1 year, 8 months ago

            I've given up on goalkeepers. With the amount of spurs and Chelsea i have already might leave wildcard to 36.

            1. Crunchie
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 7 Years
              1 year, 8 months ago

              Roll

    2. Better off with a pin and a…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Roll. Nice team for this week.

    3. Rhodes your boat
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Chip plans? Maddison to foden?

      1. DA Minnion (Former great)
        • 13 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

        Thinking free hit 34 and wildcard 36 with combination boost 37 .

  6. Rhodes your boat
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Thoughts on this WC? 0.4itb. BB34 FH37

    Raya Henderson
    Gabriel RAN zabarnyi gusto branthwaite
    Salah saka foden palmer eze
    Haaland Darwin solanke

    Plan is remove foden or Haaland for bb34, use FT’s for spurs/che (mainly son) in 35 and FH37.

    1. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      g2G, Munoz for zabarnyi as they are two away fixtures? Olise will be back by then, that will give Munoz more freedom

      1. Rhodes your boat
        • 9 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

        Thanks, went zabarnyi as I have Henderson in net. Could do Neto Munoz instead for an extra 0.2?

        1. Crunchie
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          1 year, 8 months ago

          More upside

          1. Rhodes your boat
            • 9 Years
            1 year, 8 months ago

            Cheers will definitely consider it

      2. Glasner Ball
        • 13 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

        Thinking of getting Munoz in on my WC next GW33 in preparation for our DGW GW34 with BB. Be great to see him linking up with Olise.

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      How will this BB34 look? Seems you have to compromise in order to target 35 afterwards

      1. Rhodes your boat
        • 9 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

        Would be something along the lines of
        Henderson (WHU NEW)
        Palmer (ars)
        Gusto (ars)
        Branthwaite (NFO ARS)

        1. Crunchie
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          1 year, 8 months ago

          Id prefer Palace chances of CS infact anyone of a CS instead of Chelsea ATM. in GW34. Gusto doesnt assist very often, but that said, we know what happened midweek?

          Hold Palmer for a SGW yes.

          1. Rhodes your boat
            • 9 Years
            1 year, 8 months ago

            Thanks, gusto mainly there for shu game so could transfer him out later but would probably mean a hit is needed to get son in 35

          • 7 Years
          1 year, 8 months ago

          Need to be careful with that. There's been a few times Arsenal have deliberately not included Saka in training photos and ends up starting

        1 year, 8 months ago

        Yes can wait until tomorrow
        Seen Sala is going to drop in price tonight but not overly concerned by it.
        Just think Saka may have run its course this season. Sounds like he has niggling injury so minutes will be managed

        1. Crunchie
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          1 year, 8 months ago

          Possibly, same with Man City.

          I still like Raya on my WC35 as apart from spurs and even against spurs i don't see any GKs i want (apart from maybe Onana. Maybe Spurs for saves. Don't want Chelsea GK at all.

    really not sure working in too many spurs players is worth it, even through their doubles.... defence is poor, no striker and not sure adding another midfielder above son is wise as there are good options elsewhere...... dire fixtures

      Just got rid of Maddison

        Plan is to BB37 after 35WC. But could consider 34 if the team is strong enough

    Kelleher
    Gabriel, Saliba, Gusto
    Salah, Saka*, Foden, Palmer
    Watkins*, Haaland, Solanke

    (Areola*, Garnacho, Doughty, Senesi*)

    Thoughts on the following plan:
    GW32: Roll
    GW33: Watkins > Darwin
    GW34: Foden + Kelleher > Eze + Alisson (assuming fit)
    GW35: WC

    Will have 9 DGW players + Haaland (bha) & Garnacho (SHU) for GW34

    1. Conners

      Looks good to me.

      I'm on FH 34 and I you'll have something similar to what I'm planning to go with.

      Watkins mmm Id go Darwin then Roll, but he is easily rotated.

      I think PL means more to Klopp

    This is the GW Doughty hauls

  28. Crunchie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Neto(3.8)
    Gabriel, VVD, Gusto (Estu, Doherty)
    Saka, Salah Palmer Son, Foden
    Darwin, Solanke (Semenyo)

    Long drive tomorrow 5.3 ITB

    I know this looks like a roll.

    1. Estu to RAN
    Roll 33 gives me Foden/Palmer to Olise/Eze for free GW34
    Instead of playing Semenyo

    Or Just wait and play

    A. Gusto
    B. Doughty

    I could deal with risks Foden rotation Haaland Haul GW33

    I think both Foden/Haaland start but we will find out tomorrow (I will be at a service station at 10.50am lol)
