Here's what you need to know in the next seven minutes to get your Gameweek thirty-three squad locked in before that Saturday ten o'clock deadline. Defensive heroes, double gameweek gold, and the transfers you cannot afford to miss. Let's go.
First, the rapid-fire news. Arsenal fans are sweating on Rice, Saka, and Timber ahead of Gameweek thirty-three. Mikel Arteta faced the media this week with updates on all three, and none of them are certain starters. Arsenal face Man City away on Sunday the nineteenth of April, which is already a tricky fixture, so hold off on Arsenal assets until we get clearer fitness news closer to the deadline.
Leeds head into Gameweek thirty-three with a double gameweek and a potential injury boost in their squad. They face Wolves at home on Saturday the eighteenth and then travel to Bournemouth on Wednesday the twenty-second. Two matches, two very winnable fixtures, and Leeds are flying right now after beating Man Utd one-nil at Old Trafford in Gameweek thirty-two. Get Leeds assets in.
Chelsea also have a double in Gameweek thirty-three. They host Man Utd on Saturday before travelling to Brighton on Tuesday the twenty-first. Liam Rosenior's side will be looking to bounce back after that three-nil hammering by Man City in Gameweek thirty-two. Mbeumo was reportedly benched in the last match, so watch for team news before going heavy on Chelsea.
Now let's get into today's special theme. It is Wednesday, which means we are talking defensive contribution points. Who were the standout defensive performers in Gameweek thirty-two? Let's highlight the players you should be targeting.
Top of the pile, Wieffer from Brighton. Four point nine million pounds, just zero point five percent ownership. This man bagged eighteen points in Gameweek thirty-two. Ninety minutes played, two goals scored, a clean sheet, and three bonus points. Eighteen points from a midfielder priced at under five million pounds is absolutely extraordinary. Brighton kept a clean sheet against Burnley, winning two-nil, and Wieffer was the engine in midfield. He has six clean sheets this season, four assists, and an expected eighteen point five points for Gameweek thirty-three against Spurs. At that price and ownership, this is the differential of the season. Verdict: Essential.
Right behind him, Guéhi from Man City. Five point one million pounds, thirty-four percent ownership. Fifteen points in Gameweek thirty-two. He scored, kept a clean sheet, and picked up three bonus points as Man City hammered Chelsea three-nil. Guéhi has eleven clean sheets this season, three goals, and four assists. An incredible return for a budget defender. He now faces Arsenal away in Gameweek thirty-three, which is a tough ask, but his expected thirty point five points for the gameweek tells you everything. He is already widely owned and rightly so. Verdict: Essential if you do not already have him.
And do not sleep on N.Williams from Nott'm Forest. Four point seven million pounds, three point six percent ownership. Eleven points in Gameweek thirty-two with a goal and three bonus points. Forest drew one-all with Aston Villa, but N.Williams still found the net. He has eight clean sheets this season, two goals, and three assists for a defender at four point seven million. Expected thirteen point five points for Gameweek thirty-three against Burnley at home. Sean Dyche's Forest are hard to break down and N.Williams is a constant attacking threat from defence. Verdict: Good buy.
Now your top three transfers in for Gameweek thirty-three.
First up, Okafor from Leeds. Five point five million pounds, zero point five percent ownership. Fifteen points in Gameweek thirty-two, scoring twice and picking up three bonus points in seventy-three minutes. He has six goals and two assists this season. With Leeds having a double gameweek against Wolves and Bournemouth, Okafor is the hottest differential in the game right now. Expected sixteen point five points for Gameweek thirty-three. Daniel Farke's side are in brilliant form and Okafor is right in the middle of it. Verdict: Essential.
Second, Wieffer from Brighton. We have already covered the Gameweek thirty-two heroics, but it bears repeating. Four point nine million pounds, basically free in your squad. Brighton face Spurs in Gameweek thirty-three and Thomas Frank's side have been struggling badly. Wieffer is picking up goals, assists, clean sheets, and bonus points almost every week. His form rating of nine point five and expected eighteen point five points make this the easiest transfer of the week. Verdict: Essential.
Third, Verbruggen from Brighton. Four point five million pounds, nine percent ownership. Nine points in Gameweek thirty-two including a clean sheet and two bonus points. He has eight clean sheets this season and ninety-one saves. Brighton's defence has been superb, conceding just twenty goals in the season. With a favourable Gameweek thirty-three fixture against Spurs, Verbruggen is the best value goalkeeper in the game. Expected eleven point five points. Verdict: Good.
Now your top three transfers out.
First, Gordon from Newcastle. Seven point four million pounds, seven point three percent ownership. Only three points in Gameweek thirty-two and transfers are flooding out this week with over thirty-one thousand managers moving him on. Newcastle lost to Crystal Palace two-one and face Bournemouth in Gameweek thirty-three. Eddie Howe's side have been inconsistent and at seven point four million, you can reinvest that budget far more wisely. Verdict: Sell.
Second, we are updating our view on Donnarumma. We recommended selling yesterday and nothing has changed. With Arsenal's injury concerns for Rice, Saka, and Timber ahead of that Man City clash, Arsenal assets are risky right now. Redirect that budget.
Third, Haaland. Fourteen point four million pounds, fifty-nine point one percent ownership. Just two points in Gameweek thirty-two despite Man City winning three-nil. He blanked completely, not scoring, not assisting, and picking up zero bonus. His form rating has dropped to two point zero and his expected four point five points for Gameweek thirty-three against Arsenal away is the lowest it has been all season. The premium is not paying off right now. If you need the funds for those double gameweek assets, this is the move. Verdict: Consider selling if you need the funds.
Quick-fire differentials. Under ten percent ownership only.
Okafor from Leeds. Already mentioned but worth hammering home. Zero point five percent ownership at five point five million. Double gameweek, blistering form, fifteen points last gameweek. Get him in now.
Wieffer from Brighton. Zero point five percent ownership at four point nine million. Eighteen points in Gameweek thirty-two. Midfield defensive machine who also scores goals. This is the free hit and the wildcard player of Gameweek thirty-three.
N.Williams from Nott'm Forest. Three point six percent ownership at four point seven million. Goals, bonus points, and consistent starts. Forest host Burnley at home and N.Williams is a set-piece threat from centre-back. Cheap, reliable, and flying under the radar.
Captaincy pick. Cherki from Man City. Six point three million pounds, eight point five percent ownership. Ten points in Gameweek thirty-two with two assists, a clean sheet, and bonus. We recommended him yesterday and he delivered. Man City face Arsenal away in Gameweek thirty-three, and while that is a tough fixture, Cherki's expected twenty point five points is the highest of any player in our data. If you want a differential captain, Cherki is your man. Otherwise, Okafor at Leeds for that double gameweek is a strong shout given the fixtures against Wolves and Bournemouth.
Key tip for Gameweek thirty-three. If you have a Free Hit chip available and are considering using it, Gameweek thirty-three is a serious candidate. Leeds have a double, Chelsea have a double, and the fixtures align nicely for attacking assets. Plan your squad around those two clubs and supplement with Brighton's defensive assets.
