In Gameweek 32, two fixtures immediately stand out: Arsenal v Southampton and Liverpool v Nottingham Forest.

The reality is neither of the home sides should have a problem winning but which of their players have the best chance of hauling in Fantasy Premier League (FPL)?

Here, we take a look at three weaknesses Arsenal and Liverpool will be hoping to exploit in Gameweek 32.

NOTT’M FOREST: LEFT FLANK

Teams have been making a point of attacking down Nottingham Forest’s left flank recently, quite heavily in fact, which you can see below.

Left-to-right – The combined touch heatmaps of Man Utd, Newcastle, Spurs and Everton’s players in Gameweeks 31, 28, 27 and 26

It’s been a pretty successful tactic, too, with Antony (£7.3m) and Bertrand Traore (£4.9m) profiting in the last two Gameweeks.

Antony saw a lot of the ball at The City Ground. He finished with seven shots – the most he’s had in a match this season – and no player from either side received more passes in the final third. A week earlier, substitute Traore racked up three shots in the box, including one Opta-defined ‘big chance’, in just over an hour.

Tactically, full-backs Neco Williams (£3.8m) and Harry Toffolo (£4.3m) were horribly exposed at Elland Road in Gameweek 29, so Steve Cooper decided to swap his narrow 4-3-1-2 formation for a 3-4-1-2 for the trip to Villa Park. Williams, in particular, looked far more comfortable higher up the pitch with an extra centre-back supporting behind. However, after conceding, they reverted to a back four, once again exposing their flanks.

Against Man Utd last weekend, they suffered similar problems despite staying in a back three formation, with Renan Lodi (£4.3m) struggling to cope with Antony. It’s also worth noting the front three were often too advanced, which handed Man Utd’s central midfielders too much space and time on the ball to build attacks.

Given the above, Mohamed Salah (£12.9m) and Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.4m) are almost impossible to pass up this week.

    Where has the Jesus rested suggestion come from?

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Arteta presser yesterday when asked about Jesus getting 90 mins

    2. Sterling Archer
      • 8 Years

      They'll hopefully get the goals early, then any one of/all of the attackers will be subbed, plenty bench players and the big game mid week.

    I understand an excitement of Eze appeal for GW32
    how would you rate Ramsey (Villa) against BRE ?

    1. Branch Warren
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      A punt

    2. The Iceman
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Good player and in form. Worth a punt if chasing.

    3. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      A good pick. He's my 8th attacker atm.

      1. Barbarians
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        then team will be:
        Johnstone
        TAA Robo Trips
        Mo Saka Martinelli Eze Ramsey

    1. The Iceman
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      TAA for me. His new role has freed him up to attack/create massively.

  4. Tribecca

    Sell for a hit - Rashford, Chilwell and Haaland
    Buy - Salah, White and Watkins

    Iversen
    Kilman Mee Tripp White

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      There's no rumours. Folks are speculating based on Arteta's presser yesterday

    2. FOMFF
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      It's definitely making me twitchy. Will probably hold though

    3. Sharkytect
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Can you send a link?

  8. Dion D's Solo Shower
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    If not on a FH this week, is it best to go Isak ahead of Solanke?

    Mainly considering the DGW 36

    1. ILOVEBAPS
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Yeah I think so.

  9. The Iceman
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    For some reason I have a gut feeling H. Wilson is hauling tomorrow.

    Any other punts people are backing for this weekend?

    1. Barbarians
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      i have picked him up as well, but then again - he was cameo before last game I would pick Willian or D.James.

      but D.James not allowed to be played againts home side, team shuffles. too much unknown.

    2. Eleven Hag
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      I feel westham attackers will haul, Bournemouth game should suit their style of play especially Bou being at home.

  10. Stranger Mings
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    1st sub defender a) castagne or b) guehi (playing Johnstone & Anderson)? Thanks

  11. Eleven Hag
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Solanki or Bowen on FH?

  12. tibollom
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Where is all the Castagne love coming from...
