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.

    Anyone considering Pep AM?

    1. Jam0sh
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 months, 17 days ago

      I considered it but had 3x City and went for Arteta. I think it's quite 50/50 between Arteta and Pep

    2. SomeoneKnows
      • 9 Years
      10 months, 17 days ago

      Passed my mind but eventually I went with Arteta

  2. Steve McCroskey
    • 12 Years
    10 months, 17 days ago

    Murphy > Rogers worth a -4

    1. Big Mike
      • 3 Years
      10 months, 17 days ago

      Not for me.

    2. Jam0sh
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 months, 17 days ago

      Probably not

    3. _Ninja_
      • 15 Years
      10 months, 17 days ago

      In the last 10 gw's Murphy has scored 67 pts v Rogers 43

    4. Podorsky
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      10 months, 17 days ago

      Isaac or Murphy is the question.

  3. BBC_TF
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    10 months, 17 days ago

    1. Goro Majima
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      10 months, 17 days ago

      Ruben for me I think.

    2. Jam0sh
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 months, 17 days ago

      I'd prefer Dias

  4. ct mariner
    • 7 Years
    10 months, 17 days ago

    Bench Murphy or Isak?

    1. Jam0sh
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 months, 17 days ago

      I'd play Isak

      1. Podorsky
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        10 months, 17 days ago

        I'm on Isal at the moment but Murphys on a role.

  5. sirmorbach
    • 9 Years

    Howe to Arteta?

    1. Jam0sh

      10 months, 17 days ago

      Yes

    2. SomeoneKnows
      • 9 Years
      10 months, 17 days ago

      Yes

    3. FPL Sanky
      • 2 Years
      10 months, 17 days ago

      I am going for Pep

  6. Jam0sh
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    10 months, 17 days ago

    Evening guys. Which one would you play?

    A) Bradley (lei)
    B) Konsa (NEW, mci)

    1. JBG
      • 7 Years
      10 months, 17 days ago

      A

    2. _Ninja_
      • 15 Years
      10 months, 17 days ago

      Close one have a feeling Bradley scores more.

    3. FF Dirtbag
      • 14 Years

      A

    4. Jam0sh
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

  7. JoBro
    • 10 Years
    10 months, 17 days ago

    If I go into GW 34 with 3 free transfers saved up and then use my FH chip, do I still have 3 free transfers the following week?

    1. _Ninja_
      • 15 Years
      10 months, 17 days ago

      Yes

      1. FF Dirtbag
        • 14 Years
        10 months, 17 days ago

        What this guy said

  8. SomeoneKnows
    • 9 Years
    10 months, 17 days ago

    Start one:

    A) Collins (BHA)
    B) Milenkovic (tot)
    C) Kerkez (cry)

    1) Murphy (avl)
    2) Kluivert (cry)

    1. FF Dirtbag
      • 14 Years
      10 months, 17 days ago

      C 1

  9. FF Dirtbag
    • 14 Years
    10 months, 17 days ago

    What do you think? Got 1FT
    1) Keep Glasner
    2) Savinho and Glas to Rash and Pep (-4)
    3) Saliba and Glas to def and arteta (-4)
    4) Any other ideas?

    AM: Glasner
    Raya
    Saliba Gvardiol Munoz
    Salah Saka Savinho Rogers
    Isak Mateta Marmoush

    Areola; Murphy, Burn, Agbadou

  10. darlo1883
    • 14 Years
    10 months, 17 days ago

    Raya Martinez
    Burn Gabriel Munoz Gvardiol Kerkez
    Salah Sarr Rogers Foden Murphy
    Isak Mateta Marmoush

    2FT 2.3 ITB

    Foden Gabriel to Saliba and
    1.KdB
    2.Saka
    3. Also play Bb

    1. FF Dirtbag
      • 14 Years
      10 months, 17 days ago

      Saka

  11. Dennis System
    • 7 Years
    10 months, 17 days ago

    So I naturally assumed I have to play bb as I also have fh and am

    But should I wait til final day instead as my bech is

    Sels + neco + R

  12. Dennis System
    • 7 Years
    10 months, 17 days ago

    So I naturally assumed I have to play bb as I also have fh and am

    But should I wait til final day instead as my bech is

    Sels + neco + RAN + isak

    1. Dennis System
      • 7 Years
      10 months, 17 days ago

      Shambles question sorry

      But basically is my bench worth bench boosting ??

      1. darlo1883
        • 14 Years
        10 months, 17 days ago

        BB a lottery...lad I my league had 25 points on his last week from two scoring players

    2. Goro Majima
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      10 months, 17 days ago

      In the same position and playing it this week as 38 could be a bit of a selection lottery. Though there's usually a fair few goals on the final day and I have considered it.

      1. swanseag55
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        10 months, 17 days ago

        I’ve asked whether I could use it in GW38 as good fixtures but yes it could be a disaster if rotation hits

    3. Kingy109
      • 4 Years
      10 months, 17 days ago

      I think Isak could easily return and RAN against a heavily rotated Man Utd team focusing on Europe could be good. Spurs not exactly pulling up trees either although double Forest isn't ideal. Plus unless we don't know something, we think they all play.
      Having a full playing 15 in GW38 is a risk, I'd go now

  13. sirmorbach
    • 9 Years
    10 months, 17 days ago

    Y'all going Marmoush or Saka for captain?

    1. Jam0sh
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 months, 17 days ago

      Yes

    2. Fifa las vegas
      • 13 Years
      10 months, 17 days ago

      Marmoush, as I have no choice!

    3. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 months, 17 days ago

      Probably Marmoush

  14. Flynny
    • 10 Years
    10 months, 17 days ago

    Anything for a hit here? 1.2mitb. Triple captain still to play. Not sure when. Used bb last week. Thanks

    Raya
    Gvardiol munoz Bradley (burn estupinan)
    Salah saka sarr savinho (murphy)
    Isak marmoush mateta

    1. Kingy109
      • 4 Years
      10 months, 17 days ago

      You best TC choices are:
      1) This week - Marmoush/Saka/Salah
      2) GW36 might be a double
      3) If not DGW36, Marmoush still has Sou in 36 could be worse and who knows, Haaland might be back. Southampton owe him a few goals.....
      4) You could use it GW38?

      Maybe play it now?

  15. Maddamotha
    • 9 Years
    10 months, 17 days ago

    Which one? 3Fts. On a BB. Own Rogers.

    A) Palmer, Gabriel, Burn > Saka, Dias, Kiwior

    B) Palmer, Gabriel, Murphy > Saka, Kiwior, Rashford

    1. darlo1883
      • 14 Years
      10 months, 17 days ago

      A

    2. Goro Majima
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      10 months, 17 days ago

      A

    3. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 months, 17 days ago

      A

  16. Biggsy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    10 months, 17 days ago

    What would you do about a 3rd City?

    A. Stick with Savinho
    B. Savinho to a Villa mid and get Dias at the back
    C. Savinho to KDB (likely means Kwior over Saliba to afford it)

    If it makes a difference, I wouldn't likely be around for City team leaks ahead of the deadline

    1. The 12th Man
      • 12 Years
      10 months, 17 days ago

      I’ve done option C but I didn’t have Savinho. Not sure I’d move.

  17. Fifa las vegas
    • 13 Years
    10 months, 17 days ago

    Palmer (currently benched) > KdB and bench Isak for FT?

    1. Goro Majima
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      10 months, 17 days ago

      I would.

    2. dhamphiir
      • 10 Years
      10 months, 17 days ago

      Yes

  18. dhamphiir
    • 10 Years
    10 months, 17 days ago

    A

  19. ct mariner
    • 7 Years
    10 months, 17 days ago

    1. 2 FTs - Elanga and Bruno to KDB and Rogers for free

    2. Gabriel/Bruno/Elanga to Konsa/KDB/Saka for -4 (bench Neco Williams)

  20. PKnox11
    • 4 Years
    10 months, 17 days ago

    Pick one

    A)Keep Isak and Murphy
    B) Isak + Murphy out for Wood + Diaz
    C) Isak + Murphy out for Beto + De Bruyne

    1. Kingy109
      • 4 Years
      10 months, 17 days ago

      Of those I'd keep Isak Murphy over those transfers so A.
      Do you have FH34?

  21. Gunned Down
    • 12 Years
    10 months, 17 days ago

    My team is:

    Raya Areola
    Konsa Gvardiol Livramento Konate Munoz
    Salah Saka Rogers Murphy Sarr
    Mateta Marmoush Isak

    BB33FH34, 3 FT 3.3M

    What should i do?
    A) Sell Livra to Saliba, save 2 transfers
    B)Sell Livra, Murphy to Saliba, Savinho
    C) Sell Livra, Murphy to Kiwior, Bowen/Rashford
    D) Sell Livra, Murphy, Isak to Saliba, KDB and cheap striker

    1. Gunned Down
      • 12 Years
      10 months, 17 days ago

      Bump!

    2. The 12th Man
      • 12 Years
      10 months, 17 days ago

      If your bench boosting with 3 FTs I’d attack it .
      Maybe use 2 transfers.

      1. Gunned Down
        • 12 Years
        10 months, 17 days ago

        yes, that's the intention, little confused on which ones to go for

  22. The 12th Man
    • 12 Years
    10 months, 17 days ago

    Is Livramento > Milenkovic worth a -4 this week?

    1. Vazza
      • 5 Years
      10 months, 17 days ago

      No in my opinion

      1. Vazza
        • 5 Years
        10 months, 17 days ago

        Reason: with a four point hit, you need Forest to keep a clean sheet and Newcastle to concede. This seems unlikely.

    2. Goro Majima
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      10 months, 17 days ago

      Considering this given can keep Milenkovic for the rest of the season.

      1. Vazza
        • 5 Years
        10 months, 17 days ago

        Not for a four point hit though

      2. The 12th Man
        • 12 Years
        10 months, 17 days ago

        Yes, saves a hit down the line but if he gets injured would mean another transfer. Might postpone the move until after FH 34.

  23. OverTinker
    • 7 Years
    10 months, 17 days ago

    Which third city player to get?? (I have Marmoush and Gvardiol)

    1. OptimusBlack
      • 12 Years
      10 months, 17 days ago

      KDB

      1. Vazza
        • 5 Years
        10 months, 17 days ago

        This

    2. Kingy109
      • 4 Years
      10 months, 17 days ago

      The right answer might be none of them (or a player none of us are thinking of)

  24. ShaunGoater123
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    10 months, 17 days ago

    Current team below, would you:
    A) Gordon, ederson & dorgu > rashford, raya & Bradley for a -4. I would then bench boost
    B) do no transfers and use bench boost on a different week

    Martinez
    Saliba / Munoz / gvardiol
    Saka / salah / asensio / sarr
    Mateta / marmoush / Isak

    Ederson / Gordon / burn / dorgu

    2FT, 0.2 itb

    Trailing in a money league by 40 points

  25. RUUD!
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    10 months, 17 days ago

    Who to assman for this week only? Slot, should be guaranteed 10 points’ish. Moyes, possible table boost, Ange, possible table boost. Can’t have Arteta, Pep, Glasner

    1. Vazza
      • 5 Years
      10 months, 17 days ago

      What about Emery?

  26. LFC
    • 3 Years
    10 months, 17 days ago

    Currently have glasner as my AM - fair to say it didn’t work out last week

    Would you change to

    A) Arteta
    B) guardiola
    C) keep

  27. Roshen
    • 4 Years
    10 months, 17 days ago

    x3 Newcastle + Martínez good enough for bench boost?

    1. Vazza
      • 5 Years
      10 months, 17 days ago

      Yes for sure. Who are the 3 Newcastle players anyway?

      1. Roshen
        • 4 Years
        10 months, 17 days ago

        Isak, Murphy, Livramento

        Just 0.5 ITB

        1. Vazza
          • 5 Years
          10 months, 17 days ago

          100% you should BB

    2. Harvey_27
      • 4 Years
      10 months, 17 days ago

      Yes, and seems unlikely there’ll be a better time anyway

  28. hariv
    • 2 Years
    10 months, 17 days ago

    4FT and 1.6 ITB - plan to FH in 34 and BB in 36

    Sels Kepa
    Gvardiol Gabriel Konate N.Williams Ait-Nouri
    Salah Palmer Murphy Semenyo Hudson-Odoi
    Pedro Isak Mateta
    AM Howe

    A) Kepa/Gabriel/Palmer/Howe --> Areola/Saliba/Saka/Arteta
    B) Gabriel/Palmer/Semenyo/Howe --> Saliba/Saka/Rogers/Arteta
    C) Gabriel/Palmer/Semenyo/Pedro/Howe --> Kiwior/Saka/Rogers/Marmoush/Arteta -4

    Any other suggestion?
    If GK not now, then Kepa --> Pickford in GW 35

    1. Vazza
      • 5 Years
      10 months, 17 days ago

      C for sure.

      Reason: for a 4 point hit, you are getting 5 enormous upgrades

  29. Vazza
    • 5 Years
    10 months, 17 days ago

    Which combo is better

    A. Becker | Bradley | Murphy
    (3 games in GW33)

    B. Martinez | Livramento | Sarr
    (5 games in GW33)

    1. Harvey_27
      • 4 Years
      10 months, 17 days ago

      I think A, but don’t think there’ll be much in it

  30. OptimusBlack
    • 12 Years
    10 months, 17 days ago

    Would u BB this lot with -4
    Areola Burn Bradley Isak
    Yaaay
    Nope
    Bradley or Digne ?

    1. Vazza
      • 5 Years
      10 months, 17 days ago

      Yes for sure with Bradley

    2. Harvey_27
      • 4 Years
      10 months, 17 days ago

      With Bradley yes

    3. OptimusBlack
      • 12 Years
      10 months, 17 days ago
