Gameweek 32 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) concludes at the Etihad this afternoon, as Manchester City host Liverpool in a mouthwatering clash at the top of the table.

Pep Guardiola makes three changes from Tuesday’s Champions League win over Atletico Madrid.

Kyle Walker replaces Nathan Ake at the back, while further forward, Gabriel Jesus and Phil Foden start alongside Raheem Sterling, with Ilkay Gundogan and Riyad Mahrez dropping to the bench.

Ruben Dias and Cole Palmer remain sidelined by injuries.

As for the visitors, Diogo Jota leads the line as Luis Diaz drops out.

Elsewhere, Joel Matip starts ahead of Ibrahima Konate and Jordan Henderson replaces Naby Keita.

The Reds are targeting an 11th straight league win, and victory would take them above City in the table.

    To FH33 or not to FH33, that is the question!

    1. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I would be scared to do it. Selling Spurs players and Salah for MU assets for example. What could possibly go wrong?!?

      1. Well you know, Triffic
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Looking at getting Son, Kane, KDB, Cancelo and maybe Salah (lol).

    2. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      If you are FHing to get United, no.

    3. Gunners in Haaland
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      FH in 37 for me

    4. el polako
      • 8 Years

      Sitting at 1.5k with FH and WC left - really difficult decisions to make.
      Can't see great upside to FH33 at the moment.

      On other side WC seems like a most powerful chip and the longer I leave it the more I reduce potential benefit from playing it.

      Decisions, decisions...

      1. Well you know, Triffic
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        I'd WC in 33 or 34.

      2. Zenith UK
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        WC with no focus on 36 and FH36?

    5. el polako
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Cheers guys, in principle I agree - shouldn't leave WC too late.

      Might dead end (with 2fts) my team to gw 33 and then pull trigger.

      I'm old school, firm believer that WC is most powerful chip just can't get my head around it this year.

    6. acidicleo
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Team depending..I will be fh..

  2. Zenith UK
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Dropped from 16,711 this week to 22,796 with a weak 55 score. Any other ideas/recommendations please?

    Schmeichel*
    Trent, Robbo, James, Rudi, Doherty
    Salah, Maddi*, Saka*, Bowen
    Kane (c)

    Foster, Broja, Ramsey^, Gelhardt^

    * = DGW
    ^ = BGW
    1FT & 0.9M ITB.

    Current team means only Broja & Bowen don't have a DGW in 36 which is when I plan on dropping the BB!
    If CHE get eliminated from UCL this week I'm tempted to do James > Cancelo as I've regretted losing him (he funded Kane) but means I lose a fixture too.

    1. Zenith UK
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Any love for this please?

  3. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Raph to Maddison on FT the correct call for next week? Or Barnes?

    1. g40steve
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Maddy

    2. acidicleo
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Yes

  4. Nate(U)dog(ie)
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Who to move Weg to? Thinking of Mateta but Palace aren't great away from home, tempted by Toney with Brentford's decent attacking form since Eriksen has gotten into the first XI, ASM too with 2 fixtures next week and 2 at home but historically I haven't done too well with him.

    1. mad_beer ✅
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I know he has been rubbish. But he has 2 games in GW33.

      1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        I know but at the stage we're at I don't think he's guaranteed to start any more and he's looked worse each game. I don't see any reason to keep him

      2. NorCal Villan
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        A double serving of crap is still crap

    2. acidicleo
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Wood maybe with dgw and then Norwich

  5. Powers106
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    I didn't see the game so not sure what even happened, but Doherty holders are you keeping or selling?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Depends on the injury.

    2. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Let's see what the news is. He left the stadium with a knee brace, if it looks like he might only miss one week then it's fine and I'll hold, any longer and I may move on

    3. lugs
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      keeping for now, i can afford to bench him next week

  6. JONALDINHO
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    82 pts all out.

    1275 -> 706. First time in top 1k finally

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Well done!

    2. Pep bites Kun
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Nice one!

  7. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    On a free hit

    Kane or fernandes if you had pick one?

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Kane.

    2. Well you know, Triffic
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Both

      1. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Then Son has so go. I want triple Spurs attack and fernandes

        1. Nomar
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Don’t sell Spurs players for Manure crap. Double gameweek foolishness.

          1. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            I know this but the sight of a dgw makes me lose all objectivity

    3. Bagheri Arce
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Both

      Or Son, Bruno and Salah/KdB?

      No Ronaldo I take it?

      1. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        My free hit team currently is

        Dubravka
        Cancelo schar Robbo TAA
        KDB Jota kulu son fernandes
        Broja

        But it’s bothering me not having Kane in my team

        1. Bagheri Arce
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Tricky decision.

          Double Pool defence looks a bit risky but could pay off

          Kane and Son have been gold but Brighton are a hard team for top 6 to play at home. Look at their results this season

          1. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            I think Liverpool are going to run it up on united, they definitely won’t concede to them and Liverpool are very much motivated

        2. acidicleo
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          No Leicester on a FH??

          1. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            I think they’re going to make europa conf a priority and the top teams have good fixtures. Might bring in dewsbury hall in light of what you said

  8. The Final Boss
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Wout wastehorst..i haven't done any transfer like this. Brought in a player in two quick succession for dgw and has done nothing even 2 points.

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Yea he's out for Toney for me

    2. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Pope not too far behind for me.

  9. YoungPretender
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Have to FH as I have 2 remaining + BB. How’s this one looking?

    Dubravka
    Cancelo White Schar
    Fernandes Son Maddison Saka Foden
    Kane Wood

    Foster KWP Dalot Cucho

    1. Bagheri Arce
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Looks decent.

      I am looking at something similar.

      Maybe DDG instead of Dubravka, spread the risk and looks good for a CS and some save points?

      Not convinced on Foden pick. Barnes maybe?

    2. FredrikH
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Surely Ronaldo if FH?

      1. Bagheri Arce
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        I don't know. I was all for it but now I think he could get rested / dropped Vs Norwich and saves for Pool

        Bad publicity just now

        1. FredrikH
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Why save him. Norwich in form and they really need the win.

  10. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Is James the best max. 6.4m defender? Or should I go for someone like Rudiger or Laporte?

    1. acidicleo
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      James for me

  11. FredrikH
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Decent FH squad or missing something?
    Dubravka (3.9)
    Cancelo Shär Burn (Laporte Tsimi)
    Bruno Son Maddison Saka KDH
    Kane Ronaldo (Broja)

    1. Bagheri Arce
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Ronaldo a risk?

      1. NorCal Villan
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        He is if he gets near your phone

  12. Nomar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    FH this week.

    Pope out for Schmeichel or Dubravka?

    Burnley look done.

  13. Feed tha Sheep
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    If Doherty is out who’s the best defender up to 6.9 for this week? (Have TAA Robertson Rudi White)

    A. Laporte
    B. Leicester def
    C. Newcastle def
    D. Other

    1. g40steve
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      3 years, 9 months ago

      100% yes

  15. Gunners in Haaland
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Best Worsthorse replacement?

    1. el polako
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Anyone who can get you solid 2 point s for less than 5 5m.

      1. NorCal Villan
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        You could have stopped at “anyone” 😎

    2. Viper
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Wood, ASM, Mateta

      Pretty much anyone..

    3. acidicleo
      • 9 Years

      Wood

  17. Bobadoba

    B. Digne & Raphinha -> Cancelo & Dewsbury Hall

    1. Ode

  21. Ode
    • 8 Years

    Would you BB this next gw?

    Ramsdale Weghorst Dier Rudiger

    1. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Nah

    2. g40steve
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Yes to get rid of chip, thinking of playing my BB as well.

      1. Ode
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Yeah just want to get rid of it so I can focus on Dgw 36. The ceiling isn't big but can't think of a better gw to use it than now when most of the small teams have a dgw

    3. waltzingmatildas
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Hmm probably to get rid of it

    4. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Have you other chips?

      1. Ode
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Nah BB is the last one

        1. Pep bites Kun
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Save it for 36 then?

    5. Feed tha Sheep
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Yeah

    6. lilmessipran
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I have a similar bench with Davies + Kulu instead of Dier and Donkey, think it's good enough for a bb

  22. Paqueta Rice
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    A or B

    A) Jonny and Raphina to Schar and Maddison
    B) Reguillon, Salah and Rodrigo to 5.3(Schar/Targett/Castagne), Maddison and Kane -4

    Thanks

    1. waltzingmatildas
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      A

  23. waltzingmatildas
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Have 2 FHs and BB left, which would you do?

    A) no chip
    Pope
    TAA Robbo Cancelo James
    Salah Saka Martinelli Dewsbury-Hall
    Kane Broja
    (Sanchez Mateta Doherty Ramsey)

    B) BB (-8)
    Sanchez Mateta Schar James

    C) FH

    1. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Your team is decent. I wouldn’t be doing a -8 just to BB when your team is nice already and gw36 you will have a lot of doublers too.

      1. waltzingmatildas
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Cheers. Just not sure when I'll use the chips!

        1. Paqueta Rice
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          FH doesn’t have to be for a double. Definitely one for 37

          1. waltzingmatildas
            • 15 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            Yeah...35 looks interesting too. Cheers!

  24. griffzinho
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    OR 284.. 2x free hits to use. Defo 37 for one. Is 33 the best we will get?? Any chance of a double in GW34/35? Like to push for top 100.

  25. TorresMagic™
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Scheffler or Smith to win the Masters?

    1. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Scheffler I think, it’s going to be close. He looks to be in a spot of bother at the moment.

      1. Paqueta Rice
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Cameron Smith is the best putter in the world which is why I can see him bringing it to the wire.

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Great birdie already.

      2. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Yeah, he should win as his saves are fantastic.

        1. Paqueta Rice
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Yeah, they really are. Smith has just narrowed it to 2. Going to be an exciting watch.

    2. NorCal Villan
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Of the two I much prefer Joe Dirt, but Scheffler is gonna have to have an own goal or two for the mullet to catch him

      1. NorCal Villan
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        With very few exceptions I always root for international players against Americans, but even more so when said Americans played for the University of Texas (as did Scheffler). Great school in a great city (lived there 92-96 while wife was in grad school) but I do strongly dislike Longhorn athletics, going back to childhood

  26. Dynamic Duos
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    A or B?

    A) Bruno and Broja
    B) Ronaldo and Dewsbury-Hall

    1. waltzingmatildas
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      B

    2 FT's, 0.1 itb

    Ramsdale Dubravka
    TAA Cancelo James Doherty* Livra
    Salah Havertz Saka Raph* Dewsbury-Hall
    Laca Kane Broja

    Planning to BB even with Soton looking shite, don't think I can maximise the bench further.

    Does this look like a decent move assuming Doc is out? Or would you prioritise something else?

    Doherty + Raphinha -> Schär + Maddison
