Gameweek 32 is here, and the FPL run-in is heating up! Brentford have partnered with Fantasy Football Scout to bring you expert advice to help you climb those mini-league tables. Let's dive into the key insights and players who could make the difference this weekend.
The Bees are flying defensively, securing their third clean sheet in five away games with another 0-0 draw. This solidity makes assets like Ethan Pinnock (£4.2m), who racked up bonus points for his defensive work, incredibly valuable. In goal, Caoimhín Kelleher (£4.8m) was a points machine with multiple saves, proving that budget goalkeepers can deliver big returns.
All eyes are on Brentford's attack as they prepare to host Everton this Saturday—a crucial match for their European ambitions. The main attraction is forward Igor Thiago (£7.3m), who earned bonus points last week, a rare feat for an FPL striker this season. Owners will be dreaming of a repeat of his January hat-trick against the Toffees.
In midfield, hold onto Dango Ouattara (£6.0m). His brief return from injury as a substitute is a positive sign, and he's expected to be fully fit for the upcoming fixture, making him a potential differential.
One of the most intriguing defensive prospects is Sepp van den Berg (£4.6m). He's nailed down a starting spot, beginning the last eight matches, and his underlying stats are impressive. Among defenders in the last six Gameweeks, only Manchester City's Nico O'Reilly has had more shots in the box, and no one has had more headed attempts. For a player at his price point, that represents serious attacking threat from the back.
As we move past the disrupted schedule of Blank Gameweek 31, it's time to focus on consistent performers and strategic transfers. Targeting players from teams like Brentford, who have both defensive resilience and attacking flair, could be the key to unlocking a successful Gameweek 32. Choose your squad wisely, and may your captaincy choice be a fruitful one!
