Dugout Discussion

Sterling, Silva and Bernardo benched as Guardiola rotates heavily

Double Gameweek 32 comes to a head on Wednesday evening with three Premier League matches that all kick off at 19:45 BST.

Crystal Palace are the visitors to Tottenham Hotspur’s new stadium, while Manchester City and Chelsea host Cardiff City and Brighton and Hove Albion respectively.

The headline team news at the Etihad sees Pep Guardiola make seven changes, with Raheem Sterling, Bernardo Silva and David Silva among the players to drop to the bench.

Kyle Walker and Ilkay Gündogan are also among the substitutes, while Nicolas Otamendi drops out of the match-day squad.

Guardiola had previously ruled Sergio Aguero out of tonight’s match, so it is no shock to see Gabriel Jesus leading the line for City.

Leroy Sane and Riyad Mahrez will flank the Brazilian, while there is a first Premier League start of the season for Phil Foden.

Fernandinho, John Stones and Danilo are also recalled.

Neil Warnock has made only one change, with Harry Arter being replaced in the starting XI by Joe Ralls.

Maurizio Sarri has matched Guardiola in making seven alterations.

Eden Hazard returns to the Chelsea starting XI following his benching at Cardiff on Sunday, while there is a full Premier League debut for Callum Hudson-Odoi.

Gonzalo Higuain makes way for Olivier Giroud, while Emerson Palmieri replaces the injured Marcos Alonso.

N’Golo Kante, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Andreas Christensen are recalled as Willian, Pedro, Ross Barkley, Mateo Kovacic and Antonio Rudiger drop out.

Chris Hughton has made four changes, the most eye-catching of which sees the fit-again Florin Andone replace Glenn Murray up front.

Solly March, Bruno and Gaetan Bong all start at the expense of Anthony Knockaert, Martin Montoya and Bernardo.

Son Heung-min returns to the Spurs starting XI, replacing Lucas Moura in the Lilywhites’ attack.

Ben Davies is preferred to Davinson Sanchez in Mauricio Pochettino’s only other change.

Roy Hodgson has brought Cheikhou Kouyate, James McArthur and Martin Kelly into his starting XI and benched Scott Dann, Max Meyer and Andros Townsend.

That means Jeffrey Schlupp will move even further upfield on the left of a front three, with Wilfried Zaha switching to the right flank.

Chelsea XI: Arrizabalaga, Azpilicueta, Christensen, Luiz, Emerson, Kante, Jorginho, Loftus-Cheek, Hudson-Odoi, Giroud, Hazard.

Brighton and Hove Albion XI: Ryan, Bruno, Duffy, Dunk, Bong, Bissouma, Stephens, Propper, March, Andone, Jahanbakhsh.

Manchester City XI: Ederson, Zinchenko, Stones, Laporte, Danilo, Fernandinho, Foden, De Bruyne, Sane, Mahrez, Jesus.

Cardiff City XI: Etheridge, Peltier, Morrison, Manga, Bennett, Gunnarsson, Ralls, Camarasa, Murphy, Hoilett, Niasse.

Tottenham Hotspur XI: Lloris, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Davies, Trippier, Sissoko, Eriksen, Rose, Alli, Son, Kane.

Crystal Palace XI: Guaita, Wan-Bissaka, Tomkins, Kelly, Van Aanholt, Kouyate, Milivojevic, McArthur, Zaha, Batshuayi, Schlupp.

    Essential players for GW33?

    Mane, Hazard, Vardy, Firmino, Aubameyang...?

    1. Dakers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Mane and Vardy I’d give that label to. Firmino Hazard Auba not so much

    2. Feloh
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      lava and Wilson could also go big. Robbo, Kepa and Luiz are other notable mentions.

      1. Feloh
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        laca***

        1. KLOPPTOMANIA
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          Ah ok

          1. KLOPPTOMANIA
            • 14 Years
            5 years, 7 months ago

            I’m going by Auba being rested so guaranteed mins

      2. KLOPPTOMANIA
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Iava?

    3. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Not sure anyone is essential

    4. FPL Pillars
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      I wouldn't list some of those as essential, far from it.

      1. KLOPPTOMANIA
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Anyone you would?

        1. FPL Pillars
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          it's about team balance, no one is essential this week IMO

        2. FPL Pillars
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          you on a FH I take?

          1. KLOPPTOMANIA
            • 14 Years
            5 years, 7 months ago

            Yup, team below

  2. Feloh
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    would you use a ft to
    1. Get rid of Fanderson for Madison and play 10(no Gk)

    2. Get gk who plays in 33(4.7 max)

    I'm wildcarding in 34.

  3. Niho992
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Auba or Vardy for a hit ?

    Have Pereira and Maddison from Leicester
    I dont have players from Arsnl

    1. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Lacazette?

      1. Niho992
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        i think he could rest before EL game

      2. Baps hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        I have Higuain (and Vardy) so choices are Laca and Auba for -4. Not certain it is worth it though.

    2. Dakers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Vardy imho.

      Everton 4CS in last 5, and playing at home. Auba not been great away, and less nailed than Jamie

      1. Niho992
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        yes but Arsenal scored a lot of goals vs Everton in last few games and i dont believe in Everton defence with donkey Pickford on the goal

  4. sentz05
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    King or Wilson for 33?

    1. Dakers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Would probably go king if buying now

    2. Niho992
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Wilson. Now it s his time to shine

  5. BigBillyBass
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Loftus-Cheek essential?

    1. DR0GBA
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      if only he was guaranteed to start every week, which he isn't

    2. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Giroud

  6. FCSB
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    BGW 33 team:

    Boruc
    Robertson VVD Azpi AWB
    Brooks Hazard Salah
    Vardy King Rondon

    Fabianski Snodgrass Pogba* Doherty*

    * = blank

    1 FT, 1.0 ITB

    I know Boruc is a doubt, but Fab can replace him and not sure its worth using the FT on the keeper?!

    Other than that, what change(s) should I make??

    Will play WC34

    Thanks...

    1. GE
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Great team, Fabianski -> Kepa maybe

      1. FCSB
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        or Schmeichel?

        1. GE
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          Hmm, maybe better actually, difficult,.
          Depends: If chasing I would go Kepa, if not I would go Schmeichel to spread the risk (not 2*Chelsea)

          1. FCSB
            • 8 Years
            5 years, 7 months ago

            thanks bud

  7. GE
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    What would you do this week? 🙂
    (all in my first XI probably nailed, Fanderson a doubt)

        1. RashFraud
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          Haha I was just adding to the list. But I’d go Salah

            • 5 Years
            5 years, 7 months ago

            Lol. Thanks. I would go Mane if I had. Going to bring him in on wildcard 34.

  11. sentz05
    • 8 Years

    Why is everyone getting rid of higuain? He only got rested for one game. Surely he’ll be back at the weekend?

    1. FPL Pillars
      • 8 Years

    2. The 12th Man

      All good.
      Probably Mane.

      1. g40steve
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        My thinking also Mane seems form on his side.

  17. What is the best week for TC?
    FPL Xylophone
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Which is the best game to TC from the remaining gws (let's remove dgw35 as most likely most will bb)? Anyone thinking bgw33?

    1. RashFraud
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Who tho? I’m thinking Mane or Salah in 36 v Hudd

    2. FPL Xylophone
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Yes pool vs hudds is a good tc game. What about chelsea vs west ham? Tc haz maybe? Or Arsenal vs Brighton? Or city vs Leicester?

    3. Geoff
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      United in 37 or 38 could be good too, as well as the Pool against Hudd game. Maybe a Spurs home game?

    4. Pras (FPL)
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Kane v EVE. Hopefully will be a combo of (i) Kane needing 1-2 for Golden boot (ii) Sours needing a win for top 4 and (iii) EVE at the beach

      1. Pras (FPL)
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Gw38 that is

        1. Geoff
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          Yeah I like this option too. Although I'm looking at Son and/or Eriksen on WC

      2. My Name Is Prince
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        (iiii) Kane is the only player in the prem to have scored a goal without actually scoring a goal 🙂

        1. ⓙⓚⓙⓚ
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          What the sh*tf*ckery is "(iiii)"

    5. Trippier Hazard
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      I bench boosted in GW32, so I'd be interested in hearing DGW35 suggestions too. Watford and Arsenal look good for that week...

      1. diesel001
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Deeney

      2. FPL Xylophone
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Deolofeu?

      3. Mingo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        I'ts an interesting time to TC, certainly very brave. The big hitters have bad fixtures and the alternatives will be big differentials. Arsenal look a decent bet but you will probably limit yourself to Laca or Lacazette, how much game time will you get from them?

    6. diesel001
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      GW38 - Kane.

      Salah in GW36 is an option if his form improves

      1. FPL Xylophone
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Or Mane if his form continues?

    7. Michael_Scott
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Anyone tempted by a Brighton TC in their double game week 34?

      1. FPL Xylophone
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Yes but which player? Murray may not play both. In the back they let goals lately... you may as well go for Etheridge dgw. 6 points just from saves plus a possible cs or penalty save and bonus he can easily reach 10 points or more.

        1. Michael_Scott
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          Murray won’t start both unfortunately. Was thinking Duffy. Good chance of at least 1 clean sheet and possible goal treat.

          Etheridge isn’t a bad shout. I’d be very happy with 10 points by 3 for my TC.

    8. tricky80
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Duffy gw34!

    9. FPL Xylophone
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Gw37 Wolverhampton vs Fulham? Tempted by Jim anyone?

    10. robredo10
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Even though I'm going WC34, I think I'll TC35 and then BB36, against 'convention'.

      I'll have a few Brighton players, and maybe even Camarasa in my WC team and don't particularly want to BB them in 35. Gives me the option to TC Aubameyang or Kane in 35 and then BB with a very strong team for 36.

    11. The Rumour Mill
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      From my personal point of view I'm most likely wildcarding in 34 and bench boosting in 35, so need to play TC in either 33, 36,37, or 38.

      To give myself the best chance I would like my TC to be played on a player who hits the following criteria, preferably all, but at least the majority of these:

      Is nailed on to play
      Playing for a motivated side
      Playing for a side who are strong in attack
      Has multiple routes to points
      In some sort of form
      Is at home
      Is a "talisman" of his side (high goal involvement percentage)
      Playing against a weak defence
      Playing against an unmotivated side

      Using this criteria seems to present me with:

      GW33: Hazard, Vardy
      GW36: Salah, Mane. Kane appears to hit the criteria this week too, although West Ham have a habit of turning up against Spurs, so I'd probabaly rule him out on that basis.
      GW37: Possibly Aubameyang/Lacazette, relies on Brighton being safe though and Arsenal still fighting for 4th in the PL and not impacted by EL rotation concerns. Hazard if Watford on the beach and Chelsea still fighting for 4th and not impacted by EL rotation concerns. Rashford or Lukaku. Jiminez
      GW38: Rashford or Lukaku, Kane

      Based on what we know right now, I think Mane home to Huddersfield in GW36, Jiminez at home to Fulham in GW37, and Rashford/Lukaku home to Cardiff (if Cardiff are relegated) /Kane home to Everton in GW38 are my favoured options.

      1. FPL Xylophone
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Nice analysis mate! Mane vs hudds sounds like the one that ticks all the boxes. The rest are more exciting gambles esp Jim vs Fulham or Hazard vs west ham/Watford.

        1. The Rumour Mill
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          Cheers 🙂 Yes I agree with you about Mane. If he keeps playing well up to that game then thats likely who I will go for. He is quite a streaky player though, so if he does nothing in the next 3 gameweeks I'm likely to not do it. Hazard is such a troll that I'm loath to even put a normal captaincy on him haha! Jiminez is probabaly my second choice after Mane because of that. Just have to hope Wolves stay motivated to the season end though, thats the major risk with him.

      Good HT. Difficult for me to see past Liverpool at home to Huddersfield. Just a question of whether to pin my hopes on a certain Mo...….

      I think I will wait until until 37 or 38. Kane could well score big at the end of the season and Everton are defensively useless at the best of times. The last round of fixtures seem to have a lot of goals due to players mentally checking out.
      United are an option as they have two cracking fixtures against hud & CAR, however Pogba doesn't look in the best of form and Rashford isn't that explosive. It's a nice problem to have at the end of the season though.

      kane vs hudds

      1. Mo Mané Mo Problems
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Considering this too as have no wildcard.

    15. CarrollsPonytail
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      One of:

      A - Salah/Mane v Huddersfield (GW36)
      B - Auba v Brighton (GW37)
      C - Kane v Bournemouth (GW37)
      D - Lukaku/Rashford/Pogba v Cardiff (GW38)

    16. XabiAlonso

      Who knows. It's an absolute random chip, any week as good as another

    17. jtreble
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      No one on Kane TC in GW34 against HUD?

  18. Tempestic
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    I was out the fpl loop for a while which resulted in me FH'ing in gw 31 which has left me in a right mess for 33 with only 6 players.
    Lloris (Steele)
    Robbo TAA Luiz WanB Shaw
    Hazard Sterling Pogba Fraser Hudson-Odoi
    Aguero Rashford Jimenez

    Looking at maybe Lloris, Sterling, Rashford > Schmeichel, Mane, Vardy (-8 to field 9 players, 10 if you count CHO) or maybe something more drastic?
    Thoughts?

    1. wilsonito
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      I am in a similar position and have done a -16 to get 5 extra players (Salah, Haz, Vardy, Laca, Brooks). The way I see it, even if all blank they’ll get 10 points anyway

      1. Tempestic
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        I was thinking maybe go mental, Mane, Vardy, Laca, Ramsey/Tielemans/Maddison, Schmeichel/Kepa in… its basically a -8 extra for Laca and one of the mids, will they score more than 8 between them? I'd think there's a decent chance, just need one return plus the hopefully 4 points for starting and playing 60 each.

  19. R.C.
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Will Mane rise in price and Aguero drop tonight?

  20. Pep's Money Laundry
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Those who who going for a Brighton defensive double up on WC34, are you reconsidering?

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      nope

    2. Brosstan
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      No, seems good still

    3. FPL Pillars
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Ryan fine for the 34 and on bench rest of season (bb35)D
      Duffy same goes for him really.

    4. RashFraud
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Duffy is enough imo

    5. Mingo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      I think one player is enough. Brighton are frustrating that they always concede when you think they are set for a home clean sheet. Their players are good value and will definitely fill 1-2 spots in a WC team. Murray can look good but doesn't play every minute, I prefer other options at his price. Duffy is a definite and Ryan is a good option at his price and you are content with a double up.

    Think I may give the armband to hazard ahead of the lpool players this weekend.

    Saints may give lpool a good test on Friday night - and having the Monday night captaincy always a nice thing to pin hope's to.

    Plus west ham looked completely on the beach last weekend v Everton.

    Anyone thinking this too? Thanks

    1. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      Definitely considering it, Saints have good form too.

      sshhh quiet don't tell everyone

  22. Bruno Bruno!!

    My FH32 team has outscored my GW31 team by 42 points.

    Success or Not

    1. Wizard of Ozil
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Blimey.
      I got 18 in GW31 and 103 in GW32. You must have had a good score in 31?

    2. FPL Pillars
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      ...

    3. tommydardar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      My FH team in 31 (38 points) was outscored by my BB’d team in 32 by 99 points (145 - 8).

      Success or not?!

    4. the Penman
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      You mean what your GW31 team would have been if they’d all played 32 instead of free hit? Cos my 31/33 players would have scored 52 and my FH32 team scored 90, so I rank that as a success. (Of course if I hadn’t planned to FH then I would have had a very different team, so the point is moot, but still.)

  23. g40steve
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Anyone keeping Doherty or has his time gone?

    1. jdp219
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Keeping for now due to other priorities (see below). But he's gone on WC34.

    2. RashFraud
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      I wouldn’t bring him in on WC if that means anything

      1. g40steve
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Yes had from the start but getting no returns recently!

    3. jtreble
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Keeping.

    • 7 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    1) Anderson > Tielemans
    2) Anderson > Ramsey
    3) Salah, Anderson > Mane, could afford anyone but Raz (-4)
    4) Pogba, TAA > Mane, Schlupp/Morgan? (-4)

    Fab (Button)

    Salah, Haz, Maddison
    Wilson, Higuain*, Barnes*

    1. g40steve
      • 6 Years

      A, Vardy, due a party & we are talking Huddersfield

      1. g40steve
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        B may pay for itself, Ham looked on the beach against Everton?

      2. Don Kloppeone
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Yeh Vardy seems a no brainer

        C is tempting me!

    2. SheBangsTheDrums
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Good team mate but leaning towards A. Think Vardy could haul!

      1. Don Kloppeone
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Cheers mate

        Vardy def feels a must. Just not sure if it’s enough. C is tempting me as I can’t see myself getting Pogba back on WC

    3. Don Kloppeone
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Yeh Vardy seems a no brainer

      C is tempting me!

  26. Danstoke82

    Salah > Mane to allow funds to build DGW35 team with BB a crazy move?.

    1. jdp219
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Not crazy at all. I'm thinking the same thing, though.

    2. GE
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Crazy...

    3. FPL Pillars
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      tell you this weekend, always a risk, should be ok though that's a lot of funds freed up.

  27. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    For a hit and 1 GW only:

    A) Schindler > Schlupp
    B) Schindler > Morgan
    B) Fab > Schmeichel
    D) Don’t take a hit

    Already have Pereira.

  28. SADIO SANÉ
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    people got an idea who they are captaining in GW35 yet?

    1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Considering Laca

    2. RashFraud
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Laca or Kane probs

      1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        As an avid DGW Kane captainer I strongly recommend you don’t

    3. The 12th Man
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Maybe Deeney

    4. FPL Pillars
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      not thought about it.

    5. SADIO SANÉ
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      cheers all, Auba TC it is 😀

    6. Cruyff's Eleven
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      5 years, 7 months ago

      Jiminez

  29. SheBangsTheDrums
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Anything worth changing for a hit?

    Kepa
    Azpi TAA Robbo Chilwell
    Hazard Salah Fraser
    Vardy Wilson Rondon

    1. The 12th Man
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      No. Good team.

      1. SheBangsTheDrums
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Thanks! Would love Mane but not for -8!

    2. Don Kloppeone
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      No looks great

      Any advice on mine above bro?

  30. pablo discobar
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    GK Allison
    DEF Perriera, Luiz, Kola
    MID Salah, Siggy, Mane(c), Fraser
    FWD Wilson, Lacazette, Vardy

    Subs Maguire, Rice, Pogba

    Wonder if Morgan will keep his place so I've placed Maguire first sub.

    Is Vardy a potential captain?
