As for City, Mateo Kovacic, Bernardo Silva, Kevin De Bruyne and Phil Foden come in for Nico Gonzalez, Jack Grealish, Savinho and Jeremy Doku.

Abdukodir Khusanov, who was rested in the midweek win over Leicester City, is on the bench.

Only 1FT ahead of GW32. I have 0.4 ITB

Is Semedo > Livramento/Burn the better option here? Or Kluivert > Rogers? Or something else?

Gvardiol, Guardthegoal. Interesting/fascinating gameweek. Rotation already making an impact (Saka/Palmer...). Improving rank isn't easy, small decisions (like bench order) suddenly become important. The game keeps changing, I love it.

BB played this week, 19 points. Not bad, right?

Not sure whats the logic of BB in a DGW, since its very hard to field 15 DGW players in any DGW

  Logic would be it's hard to have a great 15 any week. So having some with two games is better than one game.
  
  Probably too much emphasis on it though. Nuking the squad before/after DGW probably counterproductive. Needs a lot of planning and availability luckily.

  Its never about 15 dgw players though, most years our budget is taken up by Salah/Haaland/Saka/Palmer and we want 2 cheap defenders and a mid who have a dgw, players you would normally bench.

  you have a point
  max DGW players in 33 is 12, so only 1 max extra match which might or might not be a good one

    although, no one is dropping Salah, right, so maybe it's more like 2 extra matches

Can I get some thoughts on these moves please.

Bruno > Palmer
Bowen > Eze, Murphy, or Gordon

For a -4.

Current team for 32 is:
Sels
Gvard - Cucu - Munoz
Barnes - Salah - Bruno - Mbeumo
Isak - Mateta - Wissa

Alisson, Bowen, Kerkez, Robinson

If I make those moves, I will bench Wissa.

  Probably just do Bruno > one of the doublers.
  Keep Bowen for Southampton in 33

  Thanks both. I will FH in 33, so would bring Bowen back in for that. Just not keen on double Brentford vs Arsenal and need a Newcastle or Palace player.
  
  I get your concerns with Palmer. It might be a total waste of a transfer.

Target teams who play Southampton (relegated) and Leicester going forward. Both team will be on the beach with nothing to play for.

Bowen and Wan B for Gordon and milenko after his impending price rise during next week (by Thursday perhaps).

  I am a bit of a nerd so I made a list. There are only 3 teams who face fodder two more times this season.
  
  Arsenal
  Everton
  West Ham
  
  On my brief assessment, I didn't think there was much to gain. Those easy fixtures are spaced out a lot for Arsenal and West Ham. An Everton player in for 35, 36, and 37 however will probably be good.

    Leicester have still got to play Ips and Sou, but they are so bad, I excluded them from the above.

      NP. Shame its not Ipswich who have 2 more games to play, Delap would be a real option. Delap in for 36, 27, and 38 might be tasty regardless.
