It’s time for another team reveal as we approach Gameweek 33 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL).

Dan Wright – who you can find here on X – has five top 10k finishes, which means he ranks 17th in our Career Hall of Fame.


CHIP STRATEGY OVERVIEW

I skipped my Wildcard in Gameweek 32.

My Gameweek 33 decision was dependent on Nico O’Reilly’s (£5.0m) fitness. If O’Reilly was out for a couple of games, I’d have played the Free Hit. I’d have then brought him in on a Gameweek 35 Wildcard ahead of Manchester City’s likely double in Gameweek 36.

But he’s fit for Gameweek 33, so I’ll use the Wildcard instead.

A Gameweek 35 Wildcard would have pushed my Bench Boost to Gameweek 36. That looks weaker than a Wildcard in Gameweek 33 and a Bench Boost 35, in my opinion, but both routes have trade-offs.

    Would you do this FT on bench boost?

    Gabriel > Struijk…..Y or N

    Verbruggen
    NOR Senesi Van Hecke
    Palmer Semenyo Tavernier Gross
    DCL Haaland Pedro

    Darlow Fernandes Hill Gabriel or Struijk

    1. Roy Rovers
      • 11 Years
      1 month, 16 days ago

      Also, need a differential C as chasing in my ML. TA.

    2. The Philosopher
      • 5 Years
      1 month, 16 days ago

      Arsenal CS hard to come by lately. I'd do it.

    3. NZREDS
      • 12 Years
      1 month, 16 days ago

      Yea I’d go for it

    4. Leeroy357
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      1 month, 16 days ago

      For 1 week only (if you're wildcarding after and won't lose too much buying him back) yes, otherwise no chance

  2. The Philosopher
    • 5 Years

    Final call. First to 5 votes wins!

    Bowen replacement?

    A: Pedro (have Palmer)
    B: DCL

    1. Roy Rovers
      • 11 Years
      1 month, 16 days ago

      As you know I have both but I would be more with Pedro

    2. Evasivo
      • 15 Years
      1 month, 16 days ago

      Why replace Bowen, he could score more than either of those with goals needed and everything going through him?

      1. The Philosopher
        • 5 Years
        1 month, 16 days ago

        Don't fancy him away to Palace. Will bring him back in 38.

        1. Evasivo
          • 15 Years
          1 month, 16 days ago

          Hammers could potentially be relegated by then so pointless game, would rather bet on Bowen to pull out all the stops to avoid that happening over new few GWs.

    3. NZREDS
      • 12 Years
      1 month, 16 days ago

      A, united without CB’s so Pedro could feast

    4. SpaceCadet
      • 12 Years
      1 month, 16 days ago

      A

  3. _Gunner
    • 11 Years
    1 month, 16 days ago

    Is Lamens > Darlow or Petrovic worth -4?

    Or just start Lamens?

  4. gomez123

    If you activate your FH chip does it cancel any transfers you’ve already made that GW?

    1. Sheffield Wednesday
      • 5 Years
      1 month, 16 days ago

      Technically no but obviously you can still change them on a FH, but next week all the transfers you made this week will be undone.

      1. Sheffield Wednesday
        • 5 Years
        1 month, 16 days ago

        Also any hits you've already taken will be cancelled by the FH

        1. Under my Cucurella
          • 10 Years
          1 month, 16 days ago

          Lovely to see Wednesday helping out her old man Gomez

          1. PartyTime
            • 4 Years
            1 month, 16 days ago

            She has got good grip of things.

  5. Steavn8k
    • 3 Years
    1 month, 16 days ago

    Defence on FH?
    A: Double Bournemouth
    B: Double Leeds
    C: Cucurella
    D: Van Hecke

    1. Under my Cucurella
      • 10 Years
      1 month, 16 days ago

      A

      1. Steavn8k
        • 3 Years
        1 month, 16 days ago

        Even with that username? Okay then. Cheers.

        1. Under my Cucurella
          • 10 Years
          1 month, 16 days ago

          I am considering Cucurella potentially as a Gabriel replacement for this week. But I think Senesi and Hill are better options than most this week

          1. Steavn8k
            • 3 Years
            1 month, 16 days ago

            Cheers, I like 'em to.

  6. Under my Cucurella
    • 10 Years
    1 month, 16 days ago

    On BB, which Brighton mid would you bring in to replace Mitoma? I don't trust his minutes. Also, would you swap Gabriel for another doubler, if so, who is the best option?

    Verb Darlow
    Gab Senesi O'Reilly Hill Justin
    Palmer Bruno Semenyo Mitoma Tavernier
    Haaland Pedro Welbeck

    3FT 0.1ITB

    1. Steavn8k
      • 3 Years
      1 month, 16 days ago

      I like Gomez as a punt. Gab. could be switched, but not sure it's worth it.

    2. Miguel Sanchez
      • 9 Years
      1 month, 16 days ago

      Gomez is my likely punt this DGW

  7. Miguel Sanchez
    • 9 Years
    1 month, 16 days ago

    Play Virgil or Gabriel or take a hit for a DGW defender (bringing them in for Rodon)

    A) Virgil (eve)
    B) Gabriel (mci)
    C) Van Hecke (tot, CHE) -4
    D) Bijol (WOL, bou) -4

    1. Evasivo
      • 15 Years
      1 month, 16 days ago

      B. Still has opportunity for assists. What do you think the score will be in that game?

      1. Miguel Sanchez
        • 9 Years
        1 month, 16 days ago

        3-1 City I think if they get an early goal.

        Gabriel almost certainly hits the DEFCON in this fixture though.

        Van Dijk in the first Merseyside derby at the new Toffees ground could do very well and hit DEFCON again there.

        1. Evasivo
          • 15 Years
          1 month, 16 days ago

          I would just play Gabriel, as presumably you’ll want him back after the double and has potential to score 4+ points

    2. Denis Tueart on the wing
      • 16 Years
      1 month, 16 days ago

      Are you free hitting next week?

      1. Miguel Sanchez
        • 9 Years
        1 month, 16 days ago

        Yes

        1. Denis Tueart on the wing
          • 16 Years
          1 month, 16 days ago

          In that case I like Bogle for attacking (especially for GW35)

          1. Denis Tueart on the wing
            • 16 Years
            1 month, 16 days ago

            For VVD

            1. Denis Tueart on the wing
              • 16 Years
              1 month, 16 days ago

              Just seen Rodon!!!!

    3. Under my Cucurella
      • 10 Years
      1 month, 16 days ago

      I wouldn't take the hit as it probably cancels out the extra points from the doubler anyways. It is a close call between A and B though, I'd maybe edge it to A because of the fixture

  8. Denis Tueart on the wing
    • 16 Years
    1 month, 16 days ago

    Cash (H) Sunderland < Man City Defender (-4 hit)
    Yay or Nay?

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • 9 Years
      1 month, 16 days ago

      Yay for if either O’Reilly or Guehi

      1. Denis Tueart on the wing
        • 16 Years
        1 month, 16 days ago

        I think Villa will be able to shut Sunderland out, so will either of them be likely get 10pts + ?

  9. PartyTime
    • 4 Years
    1 month, 16 days ago

    Will you do Anderson to MGW (-8)?
    Got no WC/FH left & on BB

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • 9 Years
      1 month, 16 days ago

      Presume it is only -4 and the other hit has already been taken?

      But yes I would in the circumstances

      1. PartyTime
        • 4 Years
        1 month, 16 days ago

        Fair enough. Thanks. MGW it is.

    2. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      1 month, 16 days ago

      Lets say Gibbs White scores 8-10pts, that would be 4-6pts gain. Can a DGW mid beat that?

      1. PartyTime
        • 4 Years
        1 month, 16 days ago

        The dgw player won't play next gw though. I already have triple CITY. Considered Cherki but already exhausted the City quota

        1. Holmes
          • 12 Years
          1 month, 16 days ago

          ah okay, thought its just for this week. Then Gibbs makes sense.

          1. PartyTime
            • 4 Years
            1 month, 16 days ago

            Too bad he ain't no Olise though 😉

  10. Ian Davis
    • 16 Years
    1 month, 16 days ago

    Current outfield players (on bench boost):

    Gabriel/VVD/Hill/Justin/O’Reilly

    Bruno/Wilson/Palmer/Semenyo/Dewsbury-H

    Thiago/Haaland/João Pedro

    Anyone worth bringing in for a -4?

    1. Denis Tueart on the wing
      • 16 Years
      1 month, 16 days ago

      I got rid of VVD to release cash. Liverpool run-in does not look good, so if there was a time it is now, and you can benefit from a DGW

  11. AC Pilkington
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    1 month, 16 days ago

    I am seriously on the fence, who is most likely to start both in the double?

    A) Bijol

    B) Gudmundson

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      1 month, 16 days ago

      Bijol

    2. Miguel Sanchez
      • 9 Years
      1 month, 16 days ago

      A

  12. Gandalf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    1 month, 16 days ago

    Who to bring in for Wilson?

    A. Tavernier (albeit form looks awful and maybe not penalties either)

    B. Scott (def con potential but plays deeper)

    C. Keep Wilson (single fixture, but still could do well)

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      1 month, 16 days ago

      a defcon guy just needs one assist to get 10+ points whereas Tavernier will have to do the hard work to reach that score.

    2. PartyTime
      • 4 Years
      1 month, 16 days ago

      C

  13. Red-United
    • 15 Years
    1 month, 16 days ago

    Having second thoughts about DCL. Never thought I’d wake up and he’d be the first thing I think about.

    1. Sly Fly
      • 16 Years
      1 month, 16 days ago

      Ditto with Welbeck. Others in my league have DCL and seriously getting FOMO so may do Welbs > DCL.

      Should I?

      1. Red-United
        • 15 Years
        1 month, 16 days ago

        I meant that I think I should remove DCL as he is a rotation risk, like Welbeck, I’d avoid.

    2. PartyTime
      • 4 Years
      1 month, 16 days ago

      Lmaoooo. I think he'll come good

  14. SpaceCadet
    • 12 Years
    1 month, 16 days ago

    Best Gabriel replacement here? Already have 3 Brighton, city and Bournemouth.

    Verbruggen darlow
    Gabriel nor senesi hill struijk

    1. PartyTime
      • 4 Years
      1 month, 16 days ago

      Hecke

      1. SpaceCadet
        • 12 Years
        1 month, 16 days ago

        Already have 3 Brighton

        1. PartyTime
          • 4 Years
          1 month, 16 days ago

          My bad! I've got no one in mind. Maybe someone else would come up with a better suggestion.

          1. SpaceCadet
            • 12 Years
            1 month, 16 days ago

            Still, thanks for the effort bud. Wondering if cucu is worth getting in. Will cost a ft when I get gabriel back in 35

  15. Bullet Eder
    • 10 Years
    1 month, 16 days ago

    On free hit and mostly settled. Struggling with my last decision though:

    4-3-3 with Struijk

    Or 3-4-3 with Alex Scott

    Rest of the team is:

    Darlow
    Hill Senesi NOR
    Palmer Bruno Semenyo
    Haaland (C) JPedro Welbz

  16. Tsparkes10
    • 7 Years
    1 month, 16 days ago

    On BB and using FH next week… worth gambling Bruno to Okafor, Scott or Enzo? Chasing if that makes a difference
