Here's what you need to know in the next seven minutes to nail Gameweek thirty-two. Defensive heroes, transfer targets, and the captain call you cannot afford to miss. Let's go.
First up, the rapid-fire news bulletin. Big news confirmed this week — Gameweek thirty-three is officially a Double Gameweek for six sides. Brighton, Chelsea, Bournemouth, Leeds, Burnley, and Man City all have two fixtures in Gameweek thirty-three. That changes everything about your planning. If you're sitting on a Wildcard, the debate is whether to fire it now for Gameweek thirty-two, or hold until Gameweek thirty-five. There are pros and cons to both — but that Double Gameweek thirty-three is making a strong case for acting sooner.
On injury news — Isak is reportedly fit to play but not expected to start. That's a significant concern for Newcastle owners heading into Gameweek thirty-two where Newcastle travel to Crystal Palace. Hold off bringing him in until we get clearer selection news.
Also worth noting — the Gameweek thirty-two deadline is Friday, the tenth of April at seventeen thirty. That's tight. Get your moves sorted before then.
Now, Wednesday's special focus — who delivered the defensive contribution points in Gameweek thirty-one?
The standout performer? N.Williams of Nott'm Forest. Fifteen points. That's not a typo. Full ninety minutes, two assists, a clean sheet, and three bonus points as Nott'm Forest hammered Spurs three-nil. Sean Dyche's side are in incredible form and N.Williams is the heartbeat of their attacking defensive play. At just four point seven million pounds and three point one percent ownership, this is your differential of the week.
Also excellent from Forest — Aina. Six points, full ninety minutes, clean sheet in that same Spurs demolition. At four point seven million pounds, Forest's defensive assets are catching eyes across FPL land.
From the midfield side of defensive contributions — Gordon of Newcastle bagged ten points in Gameweek thirty-one. A goal, three bonus points, and eighty-eight minutes played as Newcastle lost two-one to Sunderland. Despite the defeat, Gordon delivered. His form rating sits at ten point five and he has seven clean sheets to his name this season. He's a proper FPL asset.
And let's not forget Welbeck of Brighton. Twelve points — two goals, three bonus points in eighty-two minutes. Brighton beat Liverpool two-one and Welbeck was sensational. Twelve goals this season, form of seven point zero, and nearly two hundred thousand transfers in this gameweek alone.
Right, let's get into the top three transfers in for Gameweek thirty-two.
First — Welbeck, Brighton, six point two million pounds, five point four percent ownership, nearly one hundred and ninety-four thousand transfers in this week. Two goals against Liverpool in Gameweek thirty-one with three bonus points. Twelve goals this season is elite for a six point two million pounds forward. Brighton face Burnley in Gameweek thirty-two — a very winnable fixture under Fabian Hurzeler. And with a Double Gameweek thirty-three on the horizon for Brighton, buying Welbeck now gives you double value. Verdict — Essential.
Second — B.Fernandes, Man Utd, ten point three million pounds, forty-four point eight percent ownership, over one hundred and seventy-four thousand transfers in. Thirteen points in Gameweek thirty-one — goal, assist, three bonus points. Eight goals and seventeen assists this season under Michael Carrick's Man Utd. Man Utd face Leeds at home in Gameweek thirty-two — the FPL data shows Leeds as the away side with an expected difficulty rating of four, suggesting Man Utd might struggle, but B.Fernandes creates his own returns. At this ownership level, not having him costs you rank. Verdict — Good.
Third — Truffert, Bournemouth, four point seven million pounds, three point three percent ownership, nearly forty thousand transfers in. An assist in Gameweek thirty-one, nine clean sheets this season, and three assists overall. At four point seven million pounds, he's a bargain budget defender. Bournemouth face Arsenal in Gameweek thirty-two — tricky on paper, but Andoni Iraola's side have been solid and Truffert provides genuine attacking threat from left back. Verdict — Good.
Now the top three transfers out for Gameweek thirty-two.
First — O'Reilly, Man City, five point zero million pounds, nine point seven percent ownership, over one hundred and fifty-two thousand transfers in this week despite a form rating of just two point zero. Man City don't play until Sunday's Chelsea fixture and the blank in Gameweek thirty-one has hurt. Eleven clean sheets is impressive over the season, but current form is ice cold. If you're rotating him in, fine — but don't expect magic. Verdict — Hold unless you need the funds.
Second — Newcastle defenders holding Isak. With Isak's injury uncertainty and Newcastle losing to Sunderland in Gameweek thirty-one, the fixture against Crystal Palace under Oliver Glasner's well-organised side looks tricky. Caution is advised on Newcastle assets right now.
Third — any Spurs assets. Thomas Frank's side conceded three at home to Nott'm Forest and look toothless. Sunderland away in Gameweek thirty-two is not kind. Verdict — Sell if you have attacking Spurs options.
Differential picks — all under ten percent ownership.
N.Williams, Nott'm Forest, four point seven million pounds, three point one percent ownership. Fifteen points in Gameweek thirty-one. Forest face Aston Villa at home in Gameweek thirty-two — expected points of ten point zero. Under Sean Dyche, Forest's backline is disciplined and N.Williams overlaps brilliantly. At this price and ownership, he's the differential of the week. Snap him up.
Kayode, Brentford, four point five million pounds, one point one percent ownership. A clean sheet in Gameweek thirty-one, eight clean sheets this season, and only one point one percent ownership. Brentford host Everton in Gameweek thirty-two under Keith Andrews — an attainable clean sheet opportunity. Budget defenders don't get more explosive than this.
Aina, Nott'm Forest, four point seven million pounds, two point four percent ownership. Another Forest gem. Six points and a clean sheet in Gameweek thirty-one, five clean sheets this season. With an expected points of eight point zero for Gameweek thirty-two against Aston Villa, and only two point four percent ownership, doubling up on Forest defenders is a legitimate differential strategy.
Now for the captain pick. It has to be B.Fernandes. Thirteen points last gameweek, form of eleven point five, expected points of twelve for Gameweek thirty-two. Man Utd at home with Michael Carrick's side looking dangerous going forward. He's the most reliable points-scorer in FPL right now and with forty-four point eight percent ownership, blanking without him is a rank nightmare. Captain him.
Key tip this week — with the Double Gameweek thirty-three confirmed for six sides including Brighton and Chelsea, start thinking about your structure NOW. Getting Welbeck in is not just about Gameweek thirty-two — it's about banking that double. Plan around the double, not just the next fixture.
