FPL Think Tank – Double Gameweek 32

We are bringing back Fantasy Premier League ‘Think Tank’ in time for the Double Gameweeks ahead.

With Gameweek 32 chocked full of additional fixtures, which can be found here, Fantasy managers have plenty of questions.

    A) Ederson, Luiz, Son

    B) Kepa, Laporte, Alli

    1. JoshyC
      • 12 Years

      B

    2. balint84
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      B) Kapea can save, Ederson not

    3. fenixri

      Missing 0,1 for Alli?

      Not sure how Laporte is nailed, A for me

        5 years, 1 month ago

        missing 0.2m, I would lose 0.1m on sale of Luiz.

    4. Saint Steve-O (@EliteFPL)
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      A. But B if you wanna have some differentials

    5. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      A

    6. Runaway
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      A because Ederson is the only nailed on City player and (despite the dry spell) Son is more explosive than Alli.

    7. FPL ZB
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      B - can see Luiz being rotated

  2. balint84
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Son to Hazard for -4?

    1. laveshp
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      100% , a spurs cover would be nice though.

      1. balint84
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        play with Kane.

    2. My heart goes Salalalalah
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Man Hazard and Chelsea attack in general has been off the boil imo. Don't want 10.9m wasted for dgw

      1. balint84
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        rather a Chelsea defender?

      2. The 5% Team
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        but with those two teams as opponents, there must be quite some attacking opportunities you would think

      3. AuFeld
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        10 goals in their last six matches isn't terrible.

  3. fenixri
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Which one is better

    A)
    Ederson - AWB - Son

    B)
    Kepa - Schlupp - Dilva

    rest of team:

    Azpi - Lindelof
    Sterling - Pogba - Hazard
    Kun - Rashford - Zaha

    1. Jam0sh
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I'd say A with Schlupp

      1. fenixri
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        In that case I need to downgrade Azpi to Luiz, and i really fancy Azpi as small differential this week

    2. Amey
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      B

  4. ZeBestee
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Who will be that keeper who will break the 20 points barrier this season with the doubles in sight?

    1) Ryan
    2) Ederson
    3) Kepa
    4) Lloris
    5) Guiata
    6) Other

    1. Amey
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Kepa
      - Playing Cardiff & Brighton with lackluster attacks + Dodgy penalty takers.
      If you know what I mean 😉

      1. ZeBestee
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Chelsea are inspiring tbh, Brighton are playing for their lives and Cardiff away won't be easy.

        1. ZeBestee
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          uninspiring*

          1. HammersXI
            • 11 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Yeah was wondering how on earth is Chelsea inspiring

            1. Amey
              • 5 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              They've kept 11 CS mate
              3rd in the league.
              They are like Arsenal under Wenger in his last year's.
              Flat track bullies.

              1. HammersXI
                • 11 Years
                5 years, 1 month ago

                Yeah they kept most of them at the start of the season before they got found out defensively.

        2. Amey
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          I see potential 2 CS though.
          We'll see 🙂

      2. HammersXI
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        They didn't even keep a CS in either reverse fixture.

        Kepa is a dodgy penalty saver. Just ask Aguero. One save against a poor Siggy penalty doesn't make him a king at penalties.

        1. Amey
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Lol
          I didn't say he's king at penalty saving.

          Bdw it's about confidence right, Murray missed his last one.
          I'm hopeful for a repeat !

          1. HammersXI
            • 11 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Yeah, I won't be surprised if Murrary doesn't take tho after his FA Cup miss.

            Currently Chelsea's defense does not fill me with any confidence

            1. Amey
              • 5 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              Same here.
              But I'm playing fixtures.

    2. jtreble
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      20 points? Nobody.

      1. ZeBestee
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Yes, chances are it may happen, unlikely as it seems.

    3. Runaway
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      4 with CS against Palace and loads of saves (inc. Salah pen) against Pool

      1. Runaway
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        still difficult to break 20 though

    4. Big Mac 24
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      *6 Etheridge.

      Cleanie v Chelsea plus save points and BAPS 11
      Pen save v Aguero plus save points and BAP 10

      Realistically though he’ll get 4 & 0!!

      1. ZeBestee
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Their games are too difficult, Mancity away is brutal.

        1. Big Mac 24
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          I know, hence my last comment. Conceded 27 in 8 games v top 6!!!

  5. Runaway
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    A) Higuain + Son

    B) Kane + Deulofeu

    1. ZeBestee
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      B

    2. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Probably B out of those

      Or C) Rashford/Jimenez + Son

      1. Runaway
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Already have Rashford + Aguero

  6. Emiliano Sala
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Just saw pickford"s total score is higher than ederson lol

    1. Amey
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Best in the World !!
      ( @ making pathetic mistakes 😀 )

    2. Richd
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      God that’s annoying as an Ederson owner 😀

  7. MMN
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Would you make any changes with 0.5m ITB?

    Ederson
    Lindelof, Luiz, Azpil, Schlup
    Sterling, Pogba, Haz
    Kun, Rash, Zaha

    Boruc, WB, fodder, fodder

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Jimenez over Zaha for me personally. If budget allows.

      1. Jam0sh
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Jimenez costs less than Zaha

        1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          True, didn't notice 🙂

          1. MMN
            • 10 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Yup Zaha Vs Jimi is tricky, reckon Jimi will start both?

    2. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Is Schlupp needed ? You could downgrade to a 3.8m and play AWB, giving you MITB to upgrade elsewhere.

      1. MMN
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        That would bring my 0.5 to 1.2m, who would you upgrade with that? Can't see anything worthwhile.

  8. Paulo Junior
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    i preffer Laporte and Aguero

  9. n14mul

    5 years, 1 month ago

    Morning,

    Silly question which no doubt may have asked but I need some clarification please.

    I plan to FH next gw but if I pick a team now and activate my FH can I still make changes up until I the deadline??

    In essence I plan to pick a team now before any price increase and then maybe tinker later!!

    1. Big Mac 24
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Correct

    2. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Yes, works like the wildcard.

    3. Paulo Junior
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      can u, simplify the question? please

    4. n14mul
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Thanks guys. Good luck all!!

    5. Klein
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Yup all hits are gone and you can make as much changes as you want before deadline.

  10. Paulo Junior
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    D.Luiz is good option

    1. Jam0sh
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Cheers

    2. Amey
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      😮

  11. merin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Would you swap Doherty to some benchfodder and upgrade someone?

    Ederson
    Lindelof Luiz Schlupp
    Haz Sterling Pogba Deulofeu
    Aguero Lukaku Jimenez

    (Boruc Doherty Simpson Romeu)

    0.5 ITB

    1. The 5% Team
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      if on FH, then yes...although don't know who 🙂

      1. merin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        I'm on FH, yes. Not sure who to get instead either. Suggestions for upgrades? Maybe a TOT mid? Might be to expensive though.

  12. merin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Who is the best CRY defender option for this week?
    A) AWB
    B) Schlupp

    1. Phil's Stamps
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      B probably, but not much in it.

    2. HammersXI
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      B is slightly OOP but less nailed. AWB with Baps threat.

      On the fence myself. Went with Schlupp in the end

    3. Runaway
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      B but I am 0.1 short of both options and planning to go Dann as a differential. He used to score goals from corners and now seems to nail that DC spot with Sakho out.

    4. FPL ZB
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Depends on the value you have in AWB.. I got him at 4.0 and need every penny in my FH

    5. Amey
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Schlupp

  13. pingissimus
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    A Kepa and Duffy
    B Ryan and Azpi

    1. Phil's Stamps
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      prob b

    2. Eytexi
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      A

    3. Amey
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      A

    4. Karan14
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      A

  14. Fernando Torres
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Is it worth doing Hazard -> Son/Alli and then upgrade Boly to a Chelsea defender?

    I have Kane

    1. Phil's Stamps
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Nah, downgrade Kane and keep tinkering,

      1. Fernando Torres
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Kane essential imo, he would be my second captain choice behind Aguero.

        1. Klein
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Liv and crp are strong defensively though

        2. Phil's Stamps
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          He's got probably the hardest fixture in the league, then home to Palace who are no pushovers. Plus Spurs are hardly playing well at the mo. And he costs a fortune.

          1. Fernando Torres
            • 12 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Spurs will score against both

        3. pingissimus
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Kane and Spurs mid seems overkill.

    2. Runaway
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      No keep Hazard as you already have Kane, you do not need another Spurs attacker

  15. Phil's Stamps
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Dunk in a back three with Luiz and Lindelöf as my super-cheap FH enabler.

    Passable?

    1. HammersXI
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Tempting. Going with AWB / Schlupp myself.

    2. Amey
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Why not.
      I'd even look for Lindelof to Schlupp if need further money.
      I don't see United keeping CS against Watford & Wolves

  16. Phil's Stamps
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Cheap goalie for the double?
    A) Foster
    B) Ryan

    1. Eytexi
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      B, but why not Guaita?

      1. Phil's Stamps
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Is he nailed? Didn't play GW 29. Was it an injury? Can't remember.

        1. Eytexi
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Tbh im not really sure. People are picking him so assumed he is nailed. Ask around.

        2. AuFeld
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Tactical. Hodgson wanted Hennessey vs BUR for his height.

          1. Amey
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Really ??
            Old guy still has it then
            It worked out brilliantly.

        3. Free Hat
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Im not so sure he is nailed anymore. Not in great form and was apparently not good vs watford fa cup.

  17. Eytexi
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Best enabler duo?
    A) Schlupp & Babel.
    B) Tomkins & Deulofeu.

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years

      B

      1. Eytexi
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Reckon Deu starts both?

    2. Runaway
      • 12 Years

      B

  18. CONNERS

    Hi

    Planning on using bench boost and just looking for opinions on transfers for GW32 squad (no free hit or WC left so need to keep an eye on GW33).

    Got team below with 0 transfers left. Considering doing Diop to AWB/Schlupp and Bednarek to Luiz for -8. Worth it?

    Thanks

    Ryan - (Boruc)

    Robertson - Kola - Pereira - (Bednarek / Diop)

    Sterling - Pogba - Hazard - Son - (Camarasa)

    Aguero - Jiminez - Barnes

  19. FPL ZB
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Can only really see Kane, Pogba and Hazard being vital this week - don’t think any of those 3 will be rested or rotated. Are people thinking 4atb in order to afford Aguero and sterling too?

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Going for those 5 for sure

    2. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I'm toying with the idea of getting Kun and Jesus atm.

      1. Andy'81
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Sounds like a terrible idea to me in all honesty.

        1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Why do you think that? He has on occasion started them both, but regardless, Jesus should get minutes over the double in a team that regularly scores shed loads.

          I'm liking the idea.

          1. Andy'81
            • 6 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            I don't see Citeh starting both Aguero and Jesus, I think the last time that happened it was GW 4 so predicting that to occur for over the double would be like catching lightning in a bottle.

            1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
              • 6 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              No I'm not predicting it, you can't predict a Citeh line up period. Having Sterling, Kun and Jesus in this double ain't totally out there though in this double.

              That's all. 🙂

    3. Karan14
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Kane doesnt seem essential with that price tag and those fixtures.

    4. Laurel and Vardy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I have those 5 in my FH team and 4-4-2 is my only balanced option.

    5. Amey
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Kane is too expensive for me for this dgw.

    6. AuFeld

      Got'em all with three at the back.

  20. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE

    A) Guaita, Son, Kane
    B) DDG, Alli, Lukaku

    1. Free Hat
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      B. More nailed in my eyes. Guaita not in best form. Son rotation worries

      1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        True and true. Not having Kane frightens me though.

        1. Free Hat
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Having the same dilemma. But there are many good options tbh. Not the best of fixtures for him. But he is currently in my team. No other way to have Kane in your team with another combo?

          1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            No other way that I like 😀

      2. Paulo Junior
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        yes, Son can be rotation

    2. CONNERS
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Don't think I'd want double Spurs on current form, so B.

      1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Yes their form is not great but it gotta turn around at some point!

  21. UptheBlues

    Any reason for not seeing Jimenez in many free hit teams?

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      People think he will be rotated.

    2. Free Hat

      International games and Fa cup match

    3. FPL ZB
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      FA cup and international

    4. Runaway
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      there are 2 reasons:
      1- People think he will be rested in Manu game because of the cup semis
      2- There are many other forward options: Kane, Kun, Rash, Lukaku, Zaha, Higuain

      My reason is 2 btw, I believe he will start both games

  22. Emiliano Sala

    Dilva or Laporte ? 🙁

    1. Eytexi
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Laporte

    2. The 5% Team
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      same dilemma, on Laporte now.
      Not on international duty, so that's good for both.

    3. Paulo Junior
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Laporte

  23. Robbie Slater
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Hows this lot looking, assuming all fit?

    Kepa 3.9
    Laporte Lindelof AWB 3.8 3.8
    Sterling Hazard Pogba son 4.2
    Aguero Rashford Zaha

      Very nice

        Cool, thanks 🙂

      They all have a DGW

      1. Robbie Slater
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Sensing you don’t think it’s that good. What would you change?

    3. mrmrscott
      • 12 Years

      Very template, so its good

  24. FPL ZB
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    I currently have Jimenez and 0.1 left. Can’t stretch to Rashford. Find the extra funds to shift him to Zaha? Or go to Murray?

    1. Saint Steve-O (@EliteFPL)
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I'd keep if for a hit. If on FH or WC certainly find another way

    2. Karan14
      • 8 Years

      Zaha over Murray

  25. Saint Steve-O (@EliteFPL)

    Such a shame we have no clarification on Emerson as guaranteed starter, started 2,then didn't play vs Eve.... Perfect for my strategy at a -12

  26. anish10
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Hows this? Need a few differentials:

    Kepa
    AWB Montoya Lindelof
    Sterling Hazard Dilva Pogba
    Deeney Aguero Lukaku

    Bench fodders.

  27. EMERGING STAR
    • 8 Years

    Etheridge to become the unexpected hero after saving penalties from Hazard and Aguero?

    1. The 5% Team
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      haha sounds nice
      although with the ownership of all three this GW, wouldn't make that much of a difference

      1. EMERGING STAR
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        That's true unless you are getting Etheridge. Lol

    2. Free Hat
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I hope not!

  28. Eytexi
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Am i right thinking Deulofeu is more likely to start both than Deeney? Feel Gray is competing with Deeney (and has grabbed a couple goals of late) whereas I can't see Watford dropping Deulofeu for Success vs. Fulham..

    1. Free Hat
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      In the early cup games deulofeu was the only one rested for 90min or so. Looks important for garcia. So I would think he will be rather rested in the league for the importance of the fa cup game.

      1. Eytexi
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        So you think Deeney is the better pick?

    Doing Anderson to Hazard and Robbo to Schlup and Salah to Sterling -8
    TC Kun. I have no FH chip so I need to keep players for 33 and WC in 34.

    Team:
    PATRICIO (Fab)
    DOHERTY SCHLUP LUIZ (Digne Perreira)
    Mane POGBA STERLING HAZARD (Almiron)
    Wilson Barnes KUN (TC)

    Worrying times yes?
