With the next Fantasy Premier League (FPL) deadline almost upon us, we’re hearing from our panel of guest writers. Here, three-time top 500 finisher FPL General talks through his Gameweek 33 team.

FPL General reveals his first draft for 2024/25 1

Gameweek 32 Review

General Gameweek 33

The Bench Boost didn’t exactly go to plan but the Gameweek was a good one with a green arrow from 35k to 27k. The late charge towards the top 10k has commenced! 

Two free transfers were used to replace the injured duo Gabriel Magalhaes (£6.2m) and Justin Kluivert (£6.0m) with William Saliba (£6.5m) and Savinho (£6.2m) to patch up the Bench Boost. The Savinho decision wasn’t the best idea in hindsight and I’ve now got a headache with him going into Double Gameweek 33. Saliba was disappointing too but he was brought in more with the Arsenal double in mind. This will be his week! Daniel Munoz (£5.3m) somehow managing to score negative points in a Double Gameweek will go down in FPL folklore. 

At 27k, the troops are 28 points from the top 10k. With the Free Hit set for deployment in Gameweek 34, it’s certainly possible to get there. I’ll be very happy with another top 50k finish, however; anything more would be a bonus.

    Using BB, have 2 FT. Free Hit next week (so can have triple Newcastle again):

    Raya
    Saliba - Gvardiol - Konsa - Munoz
    Saka - Salah - Sarr - Rogers
    Marmoush - Mateta
    (Martinez - Isak, Murphy, Livramento)

    a. Isak + Livramento -> Wissa + Dias
    b. Isak + Murphy -> Joao Pedro + KDB
    c. Livramento -> Bradley
    d. hold transfers for 36/37

    Thanks!

      Pretty much the same team and 2FT
      Thinking of
      - Murphy + Isak to KDB + Wissa (both great fixtures)

    Thoughts on this for a -8?

    Gabriel>Dias
    Ederson>Martinez
    Murphy>Tielemans (bench Isak) - 59% chance of a double in GW36
    Glasner>Arteta

    Sadly cannot afford Rogers and I'm not sure about bringing in Munoz with his fixtures, defensive form and low chance of a future double.

    Do we think savinho starts? 0ITB but could shift him to rogers - could be a bit sideways though if Rogers is rested / rotated? Don’t really have the funds for much movement so kinda stuck with him.
