The Premier League rollercoaster continues, and Crickex brings you the ultimate Gameweek 32 FPL breakdown with insights from top fantasy managers. Whether you’re free-hitting or planning long-term transfers, these expert strategies could make or break your mini-league ambitions.
Crafting the Perfect Free Hit Squad
FPL guru Holly Shand reveals her current Free Hit blueprint:
- Goalkeeper: Emiliano Martínez (AVL)
- Defense: Kieran Trippier (NEW), Trent Alexander-Arnold (LIV), Ben White (ARS)
- Midfield: Mohamed Salah (LIV), Gabriel Martinelli (ARS), Eberechi Eze (CRY), Michael Olise (CRY)
- Attack: Gabriel Jesus (ARS), Ollie Watkins (AVL), Harry Kane (TOT)
Meanwhile, Gianni Buttice opts for:
- Differential Picks: Alex Moreno (AVL), Diogo Jota (LIV)
- Captaincy Dilemma: “Salah feels essential, but Jota’s recent form tempts me as a differential armband choice.”
Hidden Gems: Differential Picks That Could Soar
Dominic Solanke’s underlying stats suggest he’s primed for a breakout game
Holly’s Differential Watchlist:
- Dominic Solanke (BOU): Faces a leaky West Ham defense
- Cody Gakpo (LIV): Thriving in Liverpool’s new-look attack
- Andrew Robertson (LIV): Overlooked despite 5 assists in last 8 games
Gianni’s Bold Calls:
- Jordan Ayew (CRY): “His work rate creates unexpected returns”
- Marcus Tavernier (BOU): “On set-pieces against vulnerable defenses”
The Kane Conundrum & Other Selection Headaches
Kane’s 40% ownership makes him a dangerous fade despite Spurs’ struggles
Expert Concerns:
- Holly: “Kane at Newcastle is terrifying – do you really want to bet against England’s captain?”
- Gianni: “Newcastle’s defensive dip (3 straight games without clean sheets) might save Kane managers”
Captaincy: Salah or Bust?
Salah’s 8 goal contributions in last 5 games make him the obvious armband choice
Consensus Pick:
- Mohamed Salah (LIV vs NFO): “Forest have conceded 2+ goals in 7 of last 10 away games” – Per Opta stats
Differential Captain Options:
- Ollie Watkins (AVL): Facing Brentford’s injury-hit defense
- Eberechi Eze (CRY): On penalties and in scintillating form
Transfer Priorities for Non-Free Hitters
Must-Have Moves:
- Liverpool Assets: Alexander-Arnold’s new midfield role (3 assists in 2 games)
- Arsenal Attack: Despite tough fixtures, they’ve scored 12 in last 4 matches
- Brighton’s Double GW34 Preparations
Gianni’s Verdict:
“A -4 hit to bring in Salah+Trent could pay off immediately and set you up for DGW34.”
Arsenal Assets: Panic or Patience?
Defensive Concerns:
- Only 1 clean sheet in last 6 games
- William Saliba’s imminent return could stabilize backline
Attack Still Firing:
- Martinelli & Saka creating 4.5 chances per game combined
- Jesus averaging a goal every 107 minutes since return
Final Thoughts: Crickex GW32 Checklist
- Captain Salah – The percentages play
- Target Liverpool Trio – Salah, Trent, Jota
- Monitor Kane – High ownership = high risk
- Dare to Differ – Solanke/Ayew could be season-defining
