Football Paparazzi Weekly Fantasy Fix: Best picks for FPL Gameweek 32

Gameweek 32 brings a full fixture list back, giving managers more options to work with after a tricky blank round. With momentum, form and favourable matchups aligning for several players, this is a week to be bold.

Targeting players hitting form at the right time is key. With the season entering its final stretch, decisions made now can define your mini-league standing heading into the run-in.

Here are four Fantasy Premier League picks who stand out for Gameweek 32 and don’t forget to make your changes before Friday’s 18:30 GMT deadline.

Nico O’Reilly (Manchester City) – £5.0m

Nico O’Reilly is fast becoming one of the most exciting young midfielders in the Premier League. His composed finish in the Carabao Cup final against Arsenal announced him on the biggest stage. Then, he followed it up with an impressive display v Liverpool in the FA Cup.

Form like that at this stage of the season is impossible to ignore for FPL purposes. With City likely to trust him in a positive fixture, O’Reilly offers genuine differential appeal at what should still be a low ownership figure heading into GW32.

Danny Welbeck (Brighton) – £6.2m

Danny Welbeck could not have timed his purple patch better. A brace against Liverpool last time out elevated him to must-consider status, and he now travels to Burnley, a fixture that looks tailor-made for another attacking return.

Brighton have been generating chances freely, and Welbeck’s hold-up play and movement make him central to that. Burnley away is as good a fixture as you will find for any forward at this stage, and the veteran striker looks sharp enough to capitalise.

Bruno Fernandes (Manchester United) – £10.3m

Bruno Fernandes walks into GW32 with arguably the most compelling captain case of the round. United host Leeds at home as they push to seal a top-five finish and a Champions League spot. This is exactly the kind of high-stakes home game in which Fernandes thrives.

The creative numbers back it up. Fernandes sits on 16 assists for the season with seven games left, putting Thierry Henry’s all-time record of 20 firmly in his sights. Against a Leeds side, space could open up on the counter, and Fernandes will be at the heart of it.

Anthony Gordon (Newcastle) – £7.4m

Anthony Gordon’s been in great form and draws a fixture this week that looks extremely kind on paper. Palace are sandwiched between Conference League quarter-final legs, meaning they head into this one with energy and focus divided across 3 matches in quick succession.

Newcastle will back themselves, and Gordon, operating in an advanced role with penalty responsibility, is well placed to punish a Palace side stretched across multiple competitions. His combination of form and fixture makes him one of the safest attacking picks of the round.
