The Best FPL Gameweek 32 wildcard Team

The Best FPL Gameweek 32 Wildcard Team 

 

The time has come! Gameweek 32 is finally here and with it comes the first major ship of the next few weeks, the wildcard. 

With many people opting for the WC32, BB33, FH34 strategy, this wildcard team will be focused on this specific strategy. We will include a later wildcard for those on different strategies. Especially those looking to Free Hit in 33 instead of BB. So, make sure you keep your eyes peeled for that one. 

In the meantime, make sure you check out our Gameweek 32 best captains. As well as our best differentials for Gameweek 32. 

And as always, make sure you check in with our Predicted Line-Ups and Team News Hub before locking in any changes. 

Anyway, without further ado, lets get stuck into the best Gameweek 32 Wildcard Team. 

• Quick Reminder: this team is for if you are on BB33, FH34. We will be doing the FH33 team later! 
• Quick Reminder 2: This team is built on assumptions for now, one example being City beating Liverpool in the cup. This article will be updated based on the FA Cup results! 
• Quick Reminder 3: With that in mind!, make sure  

 

Goalkeepers: 

 

David Raya – £6.0m 

When the highest scoring keeper in the league probably doubles in GW33, it becomes very tricky to leave him out. Not least considering how unattractive Arsenal’s attackers are right now. Following defeat in the league cup final, Arteta will ensure that Arsenal keep it as tight as possible moving forward. 

 

Martin Dubravka – £4.0m  

A starting £4.0m keeper. Can’t go wrong. Also likely to double in GW33 so ideal for a BB33. 

 

 

Defenders: 

 

Gabriel Magalhaes – £7.2m 

The Rolls-Royce of FPL defenders AND he doubles in GW33. Absolute no brainer and completely essential. Unless Free Hitting in GW33. 

Make sure you check up on his injury status following his withdrawal from the Brazil squad. However, no reports suggest he will be out beyond the return to Prem football. 

 

Nico O’Reilly – £5.0m 

Has emerged as one of Pep’s favourite players in recent weeks and will no doubt have a huge role to play in the title race. What’s perhaps even more exciting however is just how much he loves to get forward. City have the 2nd best defence in the league and assuming they beat Liverpool, will also double in GW33. High CS % + Attacking threat = a wining asset, DefCon truthers be damned.  

 

Jan Paul van Hecke – £4.5m 

Brighton have a sneaky good defence and are in the bottom 6 for not just goals conceded but also xGA. Infact, they have not conceded more than 1 goal in a match since Gameweek 23, a quite incredible stat. including holding the likes of Liverpool, Arsenal, Villa, Chelsea and City (twice) to just 1 goal conceded. Their next 6 include Burnley, Spurs, a struggling Chelsea and Newcastle, Wolves and Leeds. So, all signs point towards a few clean sheets. 

Combine this clean sheet potential with the fact Brighton will likely double in GW33, as well as the fact van Hecke is averaging 13 Defcons per 90 in his last 6 and you’re onto a great asset. 

 

Yerson Mosquera – £4.3m 

If you do not plan on owning any Wolves assets for the rest of the season, then you really need to catch up. Wolves look like a different side since GW26, losing only 1 of their last 6 and recording impressive wins over Villa and Liverpool as well as 2-2 draws with both Arsenal and Brentford. 

Mosquera has also achieved 9+ Defensive Contributions in 6 of his last 7 games so he should also be a very good Defcon candidate. 

Combine all of this with a £4.3m price tag and an unbelievable run of fixtures to close out the season and you’ve got a great asset. 

 

William Saliba – £6.1m 

Like his centre-back partner, Saliba has also withdrawn from international duty due to an injury, although similarly, it would appear he is not a doubt for the Bournemouth fixture in GW32. 

Given Timber’s slightly more serious injury, Saliba appears to be the only other Arsenal defender whose minutes can really be trusted moving forward. 

Given they double in GW33, tripling up on Arsenal is always a great option, and considering their unpredictable attack, tripling up at the back would appear the direction to go. 

 

 

Midfielders: 

 

Morgan Rogers – £7.5m 

Stuck somewhere between a rock (bad asset) and a hard place (great fixtures) is Morgan Rogers. There’s no 2 ways around it, Villa’s fixtures right up until GW37 are simply fantastic. Given they have conceded 9 goals in their last 4 their defence is probably an avoid.  

Watkins, I guess is an alternative route into the fixtures, but this current line-up sees 3 strikers likely double in GW33, so we have decided to go down the Rogers route and lock ourselves in for some more pain.  

 

Antoine Semenyo – £8.2m 

Potentially one of the most overthought assets in all of FPL. Experts have been predicting a benching, rotation, reduced minutes, downfall etc for weeks on weeks now and all this man has been doing is getting returns. With 15 goals, 6 assists and a likely double in GW33, sign me up. 

He has been City’s standout performer down the stretch so the idea he gets rotated out in a title race is much less likely. He hasn’t steered me wrong yet so until he does he gets my vote. 

 

Anthony Gordon – £7.4m 

That’s now 3 goals in his last 3 in the Premier League for Anthony Gordon. In fact, he seems like the only player capable of scoring at the moment. With Woltemade falling out of favour, Gordon now finds himself spearheading the attack and on penalty duty. He also takes on a struggling Palace and leaky Bournemouth team in his next 2 and beyond Arsenal, has a great run of fixtures to end the season. Just about the only trustable Newcastle asset at present.  

 

Bruno Fernandes – £10.3m 

The best FPL asset in the game right now and it isn’t close. With 13 returns in his last 11 games as well as 19, yes 19…bonus points, it really doesn’t get much better than Bruno Fernandes. 2nd in total bonus points to Haaland only (and by 2).  

His most recent points totals: 13, 10, 8, 13, 2, 2, 10, 10, 5, 10, 7. Simply incredible numbers and showing no signs of slowing down. Don’t overthink his inclusion or try and get too clever with GW33 doublers. Just bring him in. 

 

Joao Gomes – £5.3m 

Yes, I really do believe in Wolves that much. Joao Gomes rounds out the midfield given the budget we had left. Since his return from injury, he has been a focal point of Wolves resurgence, registering 3 returns in his last 3 games.  

But that’s not all, he is also a DefCon BEAST, averaging 12.6 per 90. This combination also uniquely positions him for bonus points, of which he has also collected a total of 5 in his last 3 games since returning from injury.   

Will this run continue? Who knows, but with the fixtures Wolves have and their uptick in form, if you were looking at a longer-term differential punt then he’s your man, whether you are on FH34 or FH33.  

 

 

Forwards: 

 

Danny Welbeck – £6.2m 

Next up in our whose doubling in GW33 set up is none other than Danny Welbeck. With 4 goals in his last 4 starts, and 12 on the season, it’s safe to say Welbeck has enjoyed a mini resurgence.  

He is also operating with an xGI per 90 of 0.6, which is a very healthy underlying number and evident of Brighton’s ability to get him the ball in scoring positions. Combine this with the fact he is on pens, has elite fixtures and doubles in GW33 and you’re onto a fantastic asset. 

 

Joao Pedro – £7.8m 

With only 1 win in their last 6 it’s safe to say Chelsea players will not be in high demand despite the double in GW33. Chelsea seem to be going backwards at the moment and it’s really taken a dampener to their assets. Joao Pedro is the only exception to this. The man has been in unbelievable form of late and it’s going to take more than 2 blanks to convince me otherwise. The man still has 14 goals and 9 assists this season. 

The fact he is probably doubling in GW33 is all we needed to lock him into the GW32 Wildcard team. Chelsea also have pretty decent fixtures to close out the season. Don’t trust Chelsea? Fine. But this man can be trusted. 

 

Erling Haaland – £14.5m 

Wait, I thought everyone was getting rid of Haaland? No. Has Haaland had a rougher time of it of late? Yes, for sure. If budgets were tight and we were all trying to squeeze in loads of premium assets, then I would completely understand not rolling with him in WC32. However, given defenders and cheaper assets are having their time in the sun it is not hard to accommodate Haaland into Wildcard line-ups. 

Not only does he probably double in GW33, but he is also a great candidate for a potential Triple Captain or BB chip in DGW36 depending on strategy. 

Either way, fresh off a League Cup win and chasing Arsenal down the stretch, I can’t imagine him being out the goals much longer. 

 

 

Final Thoughts 

 

Again, I want to reemphasise that this draft will updated in real time following the results of the FA Cup as well as any injury or press conference related news, so make sure you bookmark it.  

Another key reemphasis is on the fact that this lineup is built on assumptions, not only about who will win FA cup match ups but also when and where games will be rescheduled to. These predictions are built upon the best possible data and prediction tool we have, the legendary Ben Crellin. 

 

 

In regard to the team itself there are definitely a few permutations which can be explored should you so choose, including the following: 

• Rice in midfield and another Brighton/Chelsea asset at the back. Or Verbruggen in goal and Rice in midfield. Both if you were keen on including Rice in your WC plans. 

• No Haaland and opt for a Palmer or something in midfield instead. Opens the possibility of a Watkins type and another City asset at the back, Donnaruma /Guehi etc.  

Let us know if there’s anyone you think we missed and remember, do not make any moves before the FA Cup games!
