Gameweek 33 brings both headaches and opportunities for FPL managers as several teams play twice. The double fixtures make prioritising players from the right squads crucial, with Bournemouth, Brighton & Hove Albion, Burnley, Chelsea, Leeds United and Manchester City all on double duty.<\/p>\n
Goalkeepers
\nKarl Darlow (\u00a33.9m) stands out because of his low price and fixtures against Wolverhampton Wanderers (H) and Bournemouth (A). He has scored 16 points across his last three fixtures and looks nailed on for the remainder of the season. Gianluigi Donnarumma (\u00a35.6m) also offers two fixtures, Arsenal (H) and Burnley (A), but his inclusion uses one of three Man City slots managers may prefer to spend on midfield and forward assets. \u0110or\u0111e Petrovi\u0107 (\u00a34.6m) is a Bournemouth alternative after three clean sheets in his last six outings versus Newcastle United (A) and Leeds (H).<\/p>\n
Defenders
\nBournemouth defenders Marcos Senesi (\u00a35.2m) and James Hill (\u00a34.2m) present clean sheet potential and solid defensive contribution totals, while Adrien Truffert (\u00a34.7m) provides more attacking upside via assists. Leeds options Pascal Struijk (\u00a34.3m), Jayden Bogle (\u00a34.4m) and Gabriel Gudmundsson (\u00a33.8m) offer differing mixes of defensive reliability and attacking threat. Marc Cucurella (\u00a36.0m) is the main Chelsea defender to consider despite matches with Manchester United (H) and Brighton (A) being tough for clean sheets. Nico O\u2019Reilly (\u00a35.0m) would be an obvious pick after a 14-point weekend and 52 points in six gameweeks, but he is an injury concern; Marc Gu\u00e9hi (\u00a35.1m) is a viable alternative if O\u2019Reilly is ruled out.<\/p>\n
Midfield and attack
\nAntoine Semenyo (\u00a38.2m) remains an attractive midfield option despite high ownership. Rayan Cherki (\u00a36.3m) offers a differential and J\u00e9r\u00e9my Doku (\u00a36.4m) provides explosive potential. Cole Palmer (\u00a310.5m) will start both Chelsea games and is on spot kicks. Bournemouth\u2019s Marcus Tavernier (\u00a35.4m) is notable for set-piece and penalty responsibility versus Rayan (\u00a35.5m) and Alex Scott (\u00a35.0m). Pascal Gro\u00df (\u00a35.5m) and Yankuba Minteh (\u00a35.5m) could be short-term Brighton values.<\/p>\n
Forwards
\nErling Haaland (\u00a314.4m) is the obvious captaincy candidate across two fixtures, with particular promise in the Burnley match. Jo\u00e3o Pedro (\u00a37.7m) is a reliable pick given Chelsea\u2019s double and his 82 points since Liam Rosenior took charge; he faces little competition for his starting role.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
