This would be with Bench Boost DGW33 in mind as well as Free Hit in BGW34.

Triple Newcastle and Crystal Palace to attack DGW32.

Plenty of double gameweek players for DGW33 Bench Boost plus solid single gameweek options from Liverpool and West Ham as they face Leicester and Southampton respectively.

Hounddog: Should I keep Chris Wood on the bench? Or should I wait till potential team news tomorrow?

FPL Heisenberg: Schar is a good option - but I prefer Tino Livramento or Kieran Trippier myself.

Historically speaking, Schar does have an eye for a goal and he nearly scored a spectacular goal last week.

So I'm certainly not against him. Any Newcastle defender is a great option this week, so if Schar is your preferred option go for it.

Anon: Not the best this game week, but look ahead to future fixtures

FPL Heisenberg: Team looks strong on paper with plenty of good options including double Brighton attack vs a struggling Leicester side. BUT (and it's a big but) you have no double Gameweek players. If the likes of Isak, Mateta, Eze, Murphy, Munoz etc do well you'll struggle to get a green arrow this week. Perhaps look at Kluivert to Murphy and Wood to Mateta so you at least have two Double Gameweek players.

Hounddog: Should I keep Chris Wood on the bench? Or should I wait till potential team news tomorrow?

FPL Heisenberg: If you have two other good forwards and five good midfielders, then yes, I'd bench Chris Wood.

There is no guarantee he'll be fit enough to start against Everton tomorrow.

Mo FPL: Rate my team, please! Have I got my bench, right? I don't think Rogers will start, hence benching him

FPL Heisenberg: Hi Mo, I have a similar team and a similar dilemma. I'm not fully confident in my choice but as things stand I'm backing Rogers over Saka to get more minutes. Really tough call though, if you prefer Saka to Rogers this week then stick with that - I could easily get this one wrong.

Sienna: I'm going to transfer out a Crystal Palace midfielder so that I can have Oliver Glasner as my Assistant Manager (currently, I have too many palace players to do that). Who would you recommend as a replacement, at any price since I have plenty in the bank? (I already have Salah, Rogers, Murphy and Elanga.)

FPL Heisenberg: Hey Sienna, I'd go for Jarrod Bowen if you can bench him this week.

Next week he has Southampton at home which is obviously a perfect fixture.

If you need someone to play this week, then consider an Arsenal midfielder like Mikel Merino. Rotation with Arsenal is a fear but I think Merino will play. He is in great form and a double in GW33.

From: Anon

FPL Heisenberg: Teams looking strong and full of differentials like Murillo and Strand Larsen. One thing I'd change is Gordon to Murphy. I think Murphy has a strong chance of out-scoring Gordon significantly so I don't mind if it costs four points either.

Reuben: Hi FPL Heisenberg, Last week I used my Wildcard, planning to Triple Captain Isak this week and then Bench Boost next week. However, I think my bench looks really good this week. Do you think I should Triple Captain Isak this week and then Bench Boost next week with a bench of Henderson, Isak, Murphy and Livramento, or should I Bench Boost this week with a bench of Raya, Rashford, Gvardiol and Salbia and then Triple Captain Saka/Marmoush next week? Thanks.

FPL Heisenberg: Hi Reuben, exactly the same for my team.

My bench also looks strong this week, but, it'll look even stronger next week - so I'm sticking to my plan.

Also, with more players doubling next week, the likelihood of getting 15 players playing at least one game is higher making the Bench Boost stronger in double GW33. So yes, Triple Captain Isak this week and then Bench Boost in DGW33.

You can potentially use transfers next week to make your bench even stronger too.

I genuinely cannot believe the amount of questions we've got flooding in this week.

It's even more than last week!

They might even give us a third series at this rate.

Unfortunately that doesn't have the same ring to it but you better believe I'll think of something.

FPL Heisenberg will fire as many as he can out before we have to say t'ra!

Andrew, Oxford: Thinking of bringing Sarr in for Mbuemo & triple captain on Isak. Also planning to bench boost wk 33.

FPL Heisenberg: Hi Andrew. I personally have Sarr but I think if I could choose now between him and Eze I'd take Eze - so consider that. If you're confident in Sarr don't let me change your mind though, he can be lethal. Triple Captain Isak this week and then Bench Boost next week is a great plan for this team and aligns with my own plan too.

Q: Should I go with Morgan Rogers or Bukayo Saka this gameweek?

FPL Heisenberg: Currently I'm starting Morgan Rogers and benching Bukayo Saka, but, it's a really difficult call to get right.

Both have a really important Champions League second leg coming up. My thinking is Rogers is fully fit, whereas Saka is perhaps still managing his minutes after returning from a lengthy spell out.

Therefore, when trying to predict which player is more likely to start I believe Rogers has a slightly better chance in that regard.

Also, with Rogers playing Southampton there's a chance for a big haul. Saka has a more difficult fixture vs Brentford.

After a slow start to the season, Crystal Palace have really hit their stride in 2025, largely thanks to their excellent defensive record. In fact since the turn of the year, the Eagles have conceded the fewest goals in the Premier League (8).

If you want a Palace defensive asset for the upcoming double gameweeks then Daniel Munoz is the standout option - with the most FPL points in 2025 amongst defenders (62).

With Marc Guehi suspended for the match with Manchester City, clean sheet potential might not be that high but fear not. Dean Henderson (6.5) has prevented more goals than any other goalkeeper in the Premier League this season and Munoz has already scored against Manchester City & Newcastle United this season.

Jon, Nottingham: My midfield is Salah, Murphy, Saka, Semenyo & Elanga. Do I transfer in Rogers for Semenyo, or wait a week?

FPL Heisenberg: Yeah, I'd do that move Jon.

A slight risk that Morgan Rogers is benched ahead of the Champions League quarter-final second leg against Paris St-Germain.

But it's Southampton for Rogers and if he plays, he could be a good return and then a double gameweek the following week. Rogers' form is a lot better than Antoine Semenyo's too so that's another reason to pull the trigger this week.

Newcastle United also play twice in this gameweek and with Anthony Gordon still a doubt, Jacob Murphy is potentially Newcastle’s best source of points - with more FPL points over the last 6 gameweeks than any other Magpie (32).

But with half of Murphy’s points coming against 19th placed Leicester City in gameweek 31, Crystal Palace’s Ismaila Sarr might be a more reliable option. The Senegalese winger has more non-penalty expected goals (8.06) and more expected assists (7.19) than any Crystal Palace & Newcastle United FPL midfielder this season.

What’s more is his 15-point haul against Aston Villa in Gameweek 27 showed his ability to score points against strong opposition, something that can’t be said for Murphy who has only scored double digits against sides in the bottom three.

Speaking of double gameweeks...

I just heard my editor in the distance say the words, "I'm a sucker for a double gameweek."

The FPL live is taking over.
