FPL Gameweek 33: Saturday’s goals, assists, bonus points + stats

Very tricky if only 1. Probably toss a coin. Be great to have both.

I think both tbh but I'd put Solanke a little ahead due to fixtures.

Apart from the goal, Solanke was pretty quiet yesterday and has been for a few matches. Cunha seems like he’s hit the ground running and I think I’d go for him. I’d check GON’s comments after the match though; saying he’d played him more minutes than he’d have liked and generally that the team (mentioning Sarabia) is really tired.

When your bench is strongest. Chances are it won't be in 34. 37 is popular.

For me, I think I can make a good BB37 with pretty nailed players (noting risk of rotation at this time of the season) who have something to play for. I’m WC35 which means I’ll hopefully have 2FTs to do any last minute tweaking.

BB34 doesn’t look good for me due to a number of injuries but it’s very much team specific.

I don’t have a FH but would think next GW (or GW38) would be good options with WC the next week

A has been my pencilled in duo but I’d think B is a more nailed pair and it could go either way.

I’d rather Havertz against Wolves than Cunha against Arsenal though so sticking with A for now

Both Cunha and Darwin are likely to have managed minutes but, although Fulham and Everton are going to be tough defences to break down at their respective home grounds, I’d rather have them than that Arsenal defence to break down.

I have RAN and happy to stick with him (subject to injury news) but I’d probably go for Senesi or Munoz in defence for the slightly better fixtures, but in any event, there’s no guarantee of points from any defenders

Yes. Or no

You talk as if the week has finished.

So you have Watkins and Salah (C) and writing your week off already? Cry more

Bad luck. Hope it picks up for you today- could be a monster Salah score today.

I thought GON’s comments at the end of the match were interesting (nothing about RAN unfortunately but about the state of the players, which makes me cautious about them)

“"We are very, very patched up. If you look at where we end up at the end of that game, with young players who have yet to do a professional loan, Traore playing as a right back, Chan having to play in a few positions having just come back. We worked hard and take a point away from home.

"We've got Cunha on limited minutes, probably pushed him a little over what he should have played today. Chan as well. Dawson is playing through some pain at the minute so may undergo some sort of surgery this week to help him. Semedo's hamstrings tightened up at the end, Sarabia was exhausted too.

"A really patched up group that gave everything today, showed menatality and courage. Another point away from home that takes us to 43 which is a good tally. There's a lot to piece together at the moment, which is why every points feels like a hard earned one."

RAN is described as having a tight calf. I’m worried that’s a non-specific term that might be hiding a worse injury but will hope for good news later in the week

Pretty much. Think Mateta may be verging on template and I’m not wholly convinced by VVD /Liverpool defence although Alisson will help.

20 points is the magic number that makes a chip worth using. But I’m a huge and longstanding fan of fun and might favour free hit later
