GW32: The Week Everyone Pretends They Have a Plan
Right, so we're all staring at GW32 like it's some kind of riddle wrapped in an enigma, aren't we? Arsenal's entire defence is in the treatment room — Gabriel, Timber, Rice all doubtful, Saka maybe joining them — and we're supposed to confidently captain Saka or what, exactly? Meanwhile City have momentum at 56/100 (which is "steady" apparently, not "world-beating") and Haaland's lurking there like he always does, ready to punish the 40% of us who went differential.
Here's what I'm thinking, and I reserve the right to be completely wrong by Tuesday: if you've got your Wildcard or Free Hit left, this might actually be the week to use it. Not because GW32 is special — it's not — but because the doubles are coming and your squad's probably a mess already. Mine certainly is. I've got three Arsenal assets and two of them might not even play. Brilliant planning on my part.
If you're going naked (no chip), then honestly... prioritize players who are definitely fit and on form. Brighton at 61/100 momentum, Everton at 58/100, even Wolves at 57/100 — these aren't sexy picks but they're playing and they're consistent. That matters more than chasing Arsenal's chaos or hoping City remember how to score six goals again.
And captain? I'm probably going Haaland because I'm a coward and I can't handle another week of watching him haul while I've got the armband on someone with a tight hamstring.
Anyway, if you want actual data instead of my anxiety spiral, fpltouchline.com has the full breakdown.
