Dean Henderson: Trusted Despite DGW32 Collapse

  • Position: Goalkeeper
  • Cost: £4.6m
  • Fixture: BOU (H), ARS (A)
  • Projected Points: 6.9

It might come as a surprise to see Dean Henderson make the team after Crystal Palace conceded 10 goals in Double Gameweek 32.

Premier League clubs ranked by goals conceded

However, up until that point, Palace had been solid at the back. They had kept 9 clean sheets—joint-fifth most in the league—and conceded just 35 goals, the fourth fewest, according to Opta Stats Sandbox.

The Algorithm seems to view Gameweek 32 as a one-off and backs the 28-year-old goalkeeper to deliver in the upcoming double gameweek. With a home fixture against Bournemouth followed by a trip to Arsenal, there’s potential for a return, especially with the favourable opener against the Cherries.

Daniel Muñoz: Attacking Threat Beyond Clean Sheets

  • Position: Defender
  • Cost: £5.3m
  • Fixture: BOU (H), ARS (A)
  • Projected Points: 6.5

The Algorithm clearly sees Gameweek 32 as a one-off, opting for a Crystal Palace defensive double-up. But Daniel Muñoz doesn’t rely solely on clean sheets to score FPL points.

The 28-year-old Colombian right-back has been a standout attacking threat, registering 4 goals and 5 assists this season.

His 122 FPL points make him the fourth-highest scoring defender so far, underlining his potential for returns at both ends of the pitch—even in tougher fixtures.

William Saliba: Arsenal’s Clean Sheet King

  • Position: Defender
  • Cost: £6.5m
  • Fixture: IPS (A), CRY (A)
  • Projected Points: 8.7

The French centre-back has been a key figure in Arsenal’s defensive success this season. With 11 clean sheets and 2 goals, Saliba has racked up an impressive 120 FPL points.

Premier League clubs clean sheet probability

He’s one of the standout picks for Double Gameweek 33, with fixtures against Ipswich and Crystal Palace. Arsenal top the clean sheet probability rankings in the Predicted Points & Stats tool, further boosting Saliba’s appeal as a must-have option.

Joško Gvardiol: Croatian Sensation

  • Position: Defender
  • Cost: £6.2m
  • Fixture: EVE (A), AVL (H)
  • Projected Points: 7.1

Manchester City's Croatian defender has made a big impact since arriving at the Etihad, particularly in attack. With 5 goals to his name, Gvardiol is the highest-scoring defender in FPL this season, proving to be a serious threat at both ends of the pitch.

FPL player ownership by Elite Managers

He's one of just five players owned by all of our Elite XI: Team Reveal managers—who collectively boast 83 top 10k finishes.

With both the Algorithm and Elite Managers backing him, Gvardiol looks like a must-have. His double gameweek against Everton and Aston Villa offers plenty of potential for returns.

Mohamed Salah: Still the King, Even Without a Double Gameweek

  • Position: Midfielder
  • Cost: £13.8m
  • Fixture: LEI (A)
  • Projected Points: 9.3

He may be the only player in the team without a double gameweek, but it’s hard to leave out Liverpool’s talisman. The 32-year-old Egyptian is enjoying a record-breaking season, scoring 27 goals and providing 18 assists.

With a staggering 317 FPL points and a projected 9.3 for the upcoming away trip to Leicester, Salah remains essential—regardless of only having a single fixture. He is simply too good to ignore, even in a week where others play twice.

Martin Ødegaard: Arsenal's Creative Spark

  • Position: Midfielder
  • Cost: £8.2m
  • Fixture: IPS (A), CRY (H)
  • Projected Points: 8.7

The Norwegian captain has been pulling the strings in Arsenal’s midfield in recent weeks, though overall it’s been a disappointing season by his usual standards.

Limited by injuries, Ødegaard has managed just 2 goals and 4 assists—but based on underlying stats, he should have delivered more.

Martin Odegaard FPL stats for 2023/24

His expected goals (xG) of 4.96 and expected assists (xA) of 5.66 suggest greater potential. For context, he averaged 5.3 FPL points per game last season—this year it’s just 3.3, a number beaten by 10 of his Arsenal teammates according to the Opta Heatmaps tool.

Still, the Algorithm is backing him to bounce back in Double Gameweek 33. With set-piece duties and a creative role against Ipswich and Crystal Palace, Ødegaard could finally start turning those numbers into points.

Declan Rice: Secure Minutes and Set-Piece Threat

  • Position: Midfielder
  • Cost: £6.2m
  • Fixture: IPS (A), CRY (H)
  • Projected Points: 7.9

The England international has been in the spotlight recently, scoring two sensational free-kicks in Arsenal’s first-leg win over Real Madrid.

His inclusion as Arsenal’s third FPL asset may raise eyebrows, but it’s all about minutes.

With Mikel Arteta rotating heavily in recent weeks, Rice stands out for his consistency—playing 435 minutes in Arsenal’s last five matches, second only to Saliba (450) among outfield players.

And there’s attacking threat too: 2 goals and 6 assists this season show his box-to-box value. In Double Gameweek 33, that blend of reliability and potential impact could make him a shrewd pick.

Morgan Rogers: Villa's Rising Star

  • Position: Midfielder
  • Cost: £5.6m
  • Fixture: NEW (H), MCI (A)
  • Projected Points: 7.0

The 22-year-old Aston Villa midfielder has been a breakout star this season. With 8 goals and 8 assists, Rogers has emerged as a budget-friendly FPL gem.

Aston Villa player ownership for the top 1 million managers

He’s also become a mainstay in Unai Emery’s starting XI, playing 2,606 minutes—second only to Tielemans (2,741) among Villa outfield players. According to the Insight Live tool, he’s currently owned by 39.6% of the top 1 million managers, making him the most popular Villa pick.

If you're looking to go against the grain, Marcus Rashford was highlighted as a potential differential in this week’s Top 5 Differentials article—but for those chasing value and consistency, Rogers remains a standout option.

Kevin De Bruyne: The Assist King

  • Position: Midfielder
  • Cost: £9.3m
  • Fixture: EVE (A), AVL (H)
  • Projected Points: 10.0

Kevin De Bruyne reminded us of his world-class ability in Gameweek 32, scoring a sublime free-kick and providing an assist to earn 12 points against Crystal Palace.

Despite an injury-hit campaign, the Belgian playmaker appears to be past his fitness issues, recently stating he has been "basically pain-free for the last six weeks." Even with reduced minutes, he’s managed 3 goals and 9 assists—proof that he only needs moments to deliver.

With his trademark vision and set-piece threat, De Bruyne looks primed for a big Double Gameweek 33 against Everton and Aston Villa. He’s one of the standout premium options this week.

Omar Marmoush: New Arrival Already Making a Big Impact

  • Position: Forward
  • Cost: £7.6m
  • Fixture: EVE (A), AVL (H)
  • Projected Points: 7.2

The Egyptian forward completes a Manchester City treble-up for the Algorithm—and it’s easy to see why. Marmoush has made an immediate impact since joining, scoring 6 goals in just 10 games.

He’s averaging 5.6 FPL points per game—second only to Haaland (6.1) among City players.

Top 10 most popular FPL forward transfers

Over 200,000 managers have already brought him in, and he features in six of the 10 most popular forward combinations according to the Transfer Analytics tool.

With his sharp finishing and City’s attacking firepower, Marmoush looks like a strong asset with big upside heading into the double gameweek against Everton and Aston Villa.

Jean-Philippe Mateta: Palace's Goal Machine

  • Position: Forward
  • Cost: £7.8m
  • Fixture: BOU (H), ARS (A)
  • Projected Points: 7.3

Despite a hugely disappointing Double Gameweek 32—where he returned just 2 points after being subbed off early in both matches—Jean-Philippe Mateta has kept his place in the Algorithm’s team.

The French striker has still had a strong season overall, scoring 13 goals so far, and will be hoping to add to that tally with a favourable home fixture against Bournemouth.

If he can get over the minutes concern and play more than 55 minutes in each match, he could bounce back with a solid haul in DGW33.
