Gameweek 32 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) reaches its conclusion on Sunday with Bournemouth v West Ham United and Newcastle United v Tottenham Hotspur.

Fantasy interest is mainly focused on Kieran Trippier, Harry Kane and Dominic Solanke, all of whom are owned by over 25% of managers inside the top 10k.

Both matches kick-off at 14:00 BST.

At St James’ Park, Eddie Howe makes just one change from the side that lost 3-0 at Aston Villa, as Sean Longstaff returns to the starting XI. He replaces Anthony Gordon, who drops to the bench alongside Miguel Almiron and Callum Wilson.

Spurs also make just one change, with Pape Sarr coming in for Clement Lenglet. It means Cristian Stellini is either asking one of his midfielders to drop in at centre-back, or they are starting with a back-four system. If the latter scenario materialises, it’ll be the first time they have used a back four in a Premier League game all season.

It’s one alteration apiece at Bournemouth, too. Adam Smith comes in for Matias Vina for the hosts, while Nayef Aguerd starts at centre-back for West Ham in place of Thilo Kehrer.

    Not sure about Isak personally. Wilson could start against Everton and then be subbed off on 60 for him.

    1. Hy liverpool
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Wilson loves playing against everton

    2. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      If he can score one, even two goals in that time it’s worth having him.

    3. FantasyTony
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Minutes is the only concern but at the rate he's scoring, it's probably fine.

    4. CABAYE4
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      They’ll continue to share minutes.

      On days like today that doesn’t matter, when it’s 0-0 after 65 it’s frustrating.

      If one gets injured then the other becomes a great pick.

    5. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      I cannot believe I got rid of Isak, seething, and Schar! No point bringing em back now, what’s done is done

    6. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      I think fact came off at 65 minutes would expect him to start- why would Howe change first 11 after being 5-0 up after 21 minutes

      1. Bartowski
        • 15 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        He's been rotating them like that all season and there's a quick turnaround on games coming up.

  2. The Mentaculus
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Brighton:
    Sanchez; Groß, Dunk, Webster, Estupinan; Caicedo, Mac Allister; March, Enciso, Mitoma; Welbeck

    Man Utd:
    De Gea; Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Shaw, Dalot; Casemiro, Eriksen; Antony, Fernandes, Rashford; Martial

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

      Don’t like this Dalot at LB nonsense. Maybe with Shaw LCB it might work better. Malacia is fine to play there

    2. fantasist
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Without Maguire, Brighton may not score as many as they hoped

    3. Arteta
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Steele on the bench.

    4. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Bruno 10

    5. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Two very good midfields. Should be a good game.

  3. tiger
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    VAR says no Cornetto

    1. Alan The Llama
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      99 problems

  4. putana
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Macallister owners what's the plan?

    Seems like he is playing deep again.

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

      All depends on Veltman apparently. As long as he's out Mac will play deeper.

      1. Hy liverpool
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        On bench.

    2. Gandalf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Hoping for DGW34 that Enciso doesn't play in dgw33. Otherwise may suggest he's nailed down a place.

  5. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Be unwise to sell spurs players

    Wounded animal etc

    1. Alan The Llama
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Now I know you're taking the p*ss.

    2. Bartowski
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      They die slowly in the corner?

    3. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      I’ll take my chances

    4. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      I'm playing my Manu players against them with great confidence

  6. sunzip14
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Watkins or Isak on WC, alongside Haaland & Jota?

    1. Hy liverpool
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Iheanacho.

      1. sunzip14
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Then to Isak on 36? fixtures look good for both. Tempting but Isak is in great form...

    2. BeaversWithAttitude
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Isak

  7. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Wouldn’t surprise me if Kane was on 3 BAPS lol

    1. Philosopher's Stones
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      He isn't

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

    Kane & Bowen rounding my green arrow up to a 12.84% rise (448K - chasing that top 100K!!)

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      My front Jesus Watkins Solanke does not help my rank! 😛

  9. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    82k > 62k. We Solly March on 🙂

    1. Haalander
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Very good rank. I can only wish lol. Still tho I’m grinding away. A 130K rank jump this week with no FH used so delighted. Was expecting a killing in rank. Have you any chips left?

  10. Paqueta Rice
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Be interesting to see how Newcastle do next season juggling European football.

    1. fantasist
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      They've got a decent squad to build on in the summer. They'll manage well I reckon.

    2. Bartowski
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Remove the dross in the summer and bring in players that can actually challenge for a first team place and they should be fine. They brought in Dan Ashworth, from Brighton, so I'm sure they have their targets lined up.

    3. Tomerick
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      They will attract at least one big signing over summer. The over-performance this season will really accelerate their growth

    4. Hairy Potter
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Probably need at least one central midfielder, centre back cover, left back and a versatile attacker. Playing twice a week with the high tempo press is going to be a big challenge with the current squad.

      Getting into to Champions League should allow for a big sponsorship deal in the summer to help keep on the right side of FFP. Quite a lot of speculation that they may also ship ASM to increase funds.

  11. Arteta
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    One stupid goal has cost me 13 points. Just piss off Harry.

    1. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      That's the only points I've got today.

    2. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Same, had Kane too as a non FH but everyone else but my closest rival in mini league had him. He FH and just 3 points behined.

      Got away with one. Especially as Zouma got a clean sheet

      1. Crunchie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        3 points behind this week

  12. Bucket Man
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Down 600 places out of the top 5k but still looking ok for first top 10k

    Logical thing to do is save FT and attack DGW34 and take another likely poor GW with this squad.

    Benching Saka correct?

    Kepa
    Trippier, Botman, Estupinan
    Rashford, Grealish, March, Mitoma
    Kane, Haaland, Watkins
    DDG, Saka, Henry, Zinchenko

    1. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      I'm tempted to bench Grealish with City's fixtures he's going to get a rest soon or later.

      1. Bucket Man
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Could do. The fact they brought him off early makes me think he will start but will see what City forums think. Don’t expect much from him or Saka this GW really.

  13. Shultan
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Red arrow for me with 62 points
    Free sh**

  14. JBG
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    All 4 of WHs goals came from crosses... even the 5th was a cross, low but still.

    1. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Hoping for a Zouma bullet was asking a bit too much for me lol

  15. CABAYE4
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    No FPL returns but on days like this it doesn’t matter.

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

      On season like this it doesn't matter.

  16. Superflymonk
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    WOOHOO! ISAK CAPTAIN AND JOTA AND KANE MAKE MY FH AN ABSOLUTE SUCCESS! Finally, my differentials make an actual difference!

    1. Shultan
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Well done!!

    2. Bucket Man
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Nice work!

    3. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Nice lol

    4. Haalander
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Great call well done

      1. Superflymonk
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Thanks, y'all lol!

  17. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    56 & the FH saved, does feel like a success

    1. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      66 on FH not great but at least its a 18 points gain over what I would have scored without using the chip.

      1. bitm2007
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        and a green arrow.

    2. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      59 without FH too. Zouma saved my week. Kane didn't help.

      FH used GW15 by FPL Towers a little annoying. TC GW34, i hope goes OK

    3. Pater familias
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      78 without FH, feeling like a winner right now

    4. Fabreghastly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      84 and first trip into the top 5k for a very long time

  18. Bishopool
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Wow, Lloris was subbed on HT? Was he really that bad and all 5 goals were his blunders?

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      He was poor for sure. But the defense in frint of him were even worse.

      1. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Apparently injured

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

      Wake up call?

    3. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      He is Captain isn't he, or is that Kane?

    4. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Did his back in picking ball out of net

    5. T C
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Injury is the official narrative but I reckon backroom shenanigans.

  19. Arteta
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Top 4 may be done and dusted.

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Spurs United mid week ... but United 6 pts ahead with 2 games in hand. Sounds like it.

    2. fantasist
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Just the order of Top 4 is undecided

    3. villa_til_i_die
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      WD Newcastle, denting that spurs goal difference!

    4. CABAYE4
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Confident but still concerned about Liverpool. They’d have to win every game but they are capable of it.

      1. Bartowski
        • 15 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        You're three wins in front with a markedly better goal difference. You'll be fine.

      2. villa_til_i_die
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        True, but not the same class as Newcastle this season. It’s in the bag for you now.

  20. tricpic
    • 16 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Trippier Son punt fail

    1. sunzip14
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Trippier Punt? In what universe?

    2. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Trippier poor for a good while now.

      1. Toon lurk
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Watched every Newcastle game this season and this is rubbish

        1. Royal5
          • 14 Years
          2 years, 9 months ago

          Huh? I'm talking about fpl

  21. C0YS
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Let go of Watkins or Kane for Jota? Extra funds irrelevant

    1. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Watkins has one good GW left. Man Utd not great. I am holding until 34, but Kane for Haaland for me anyway.

  22. CoracAld2831
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    All out 70 pts with FH.

    22 pts laying on the bench (Andreas, Coufal & Iversen)

    122k green arrow.

    Could have been better, could've been worse.

    1. TomSaints
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Pretty much identical. FH scored 30 points more than team but disappointing score v average. Story of the season and locks in a (best case) 200-300k rank =[

    2. AgentRed
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Yep 66 for me. Still kicking myself playing Sa over Johnstone which could have made it a decent green arrow but Jota punt saved my bacon overall.

    3. CoracAld2831
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      *24 pts on the bench.

  23. DLLM
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Big fat red arrows. Harry kane had to scored to crush my newcastle defence double up.

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

      Bad week to miss deadline first time ever.

      1. Crunchie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        🙁

    2. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Would have been a green arrow without a FH if that happened. Botman is less owned than Kane (had both)

  24. sunzip14
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    RMWCT please! 0.2 itb.

    Ederson, Iverson
    TAA, Trippier, Shaw, Estu, Botman
    Salah, Rashford, Grealish, Mitoma, Andreas
    Haaland, Jota, Isak

    1. sunzip14
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      No BB, TC34, FH 37/38

    2. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      G2G

  25. EmreCan Hustle
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    McAllister playing deeper because Veltman is benched?
    What are the chances that he gets his No. 10 role back?

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

      Might sell him for March

    2. The Mentaculus
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Veltman was injured. If his return is imminent then there's every chance of the return of (the) Mac to 10

      1. EmreCan Hustle
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Cheers.

  26. GENERATION X
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Well done Isak owners. At least my Toney pick beat Kane and held the greenie

  27. Jon Snow
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    75 no FH very happy but still outside the top 1M. Hoping to use my chips and finish strong

    1. PompeyUpNorth!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      72 no FH me so happy. Mid 250K atm

  28. GENERATION X
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Schar a bad injury?

    1. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Hope so

  29. Scots Gooner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Thanks for nothing Solanke

  30. Alan The Llama
    • 16 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Might get Enciso.
