Gameweek 32 is coming hard with 7 matches. I will get you started with the matches you can build around and you can use our tools (for VIPs only) to fill in the rest. Let’s do this.
West Brom v Burnley
Mathematically, West Brom has not been relegated, but it’s coming. This week does not look to help their cause. Burnley has actually been somewhat of a surprise this year. Last year they could only get points at home. This year they get them anywhere they feel like it. West Brom has given up 11 goals in their last 4 matches and they have collected only 5 points (out of a possible 18) in their last 6 home matches. Burnley tends to let you shoot and they do what they must to get points on the road.
Sparks tend to fly when these teams get together. They average a total of 3.67 goals in their matches. Recent form suggests this not to be a high scoring affair but I actually think there is some benefit to rostering some Burnley tomorrow. At the very least, start your squad with them in cash because they are playing West Brom. You can attack them from the wings. You can attack them from the center. My two biggest offensive targets are Johann Berg Gudmundsson and Ashley Barnes. JBG has the better floor and will take set piece opportunities, but West Brom can’t stop either of them. WBA has given up the 3rd most goals to forwards off the 7th most shots and the 7th most goals to midfielders off the 5th most shots at home.
Man United v Swansea
Let’s skip right over the Swansea options because you don’t want to play them offensively in cash. You can play the centerbacks on Fanduel, but everyone else is GPP only and you don’t want to get into them too deep. It is those centerbacks who will make it a tough day on Lukaku in a packed box. Instead, we will want to attack Swansea from the wings. Ashley Young is an easy cash play for me. Man U will be parking in the Swansea half and he should be able to just load up on the attack. Provided Rashford doesn’t start, Young should be nailed on as the set-piece taker. Jesse Lingard could be in line for a start and if he plays out on the wing, he could be in for a nice day while the defense tries to shut down Lukaku. He is more of a GPP play since they play out of left.
Watford v Bournemouth
Both of these teams have given up an average of 2 goals a game over their last 4. Bournemouth has been better overall, but their defense is hurting so I would expect something to open up. I see this game playing out a bit more through the forwards. Richarlison plays best a forward cash play. The rest of the forwards do not bring a floor on either site. Looking beyond the forwards, Jose Holebas should still be in line for set-piece duty with Deulofeu still out and Bournemouth has given up the most shots to defenders. Bournemouth will likely play through Junior Stanislas.
Best of the Rest
This is the part of the show where we highlight some cash plays for the games we didn’t really get a chance to talk about or the best cash plays left on the slate.
- Riyad Mahrez, LEI – He splits corners with Albrighton but he has a monopoly of set pieces and shoots a ton. He is the spark plug for this team.
- Ryan Bertrand, SOU – If he is healthy and JWP sits again, Bertrand is likely all over set pieces. West Ham is a sieve defensively and Southampton is favored on the road.
Between the Sticks
Let’s put a bow on this with a few keeper options.
- Nick Pope, BUR – This guy is money in the bank each week. Keep an eye out because Tom Heaton is itching to come back so this could be the last week we see him. Any format.
- Lukasz Fabianski, SWA – GPP Fanduel only. He could be in for a busy day with Man U coming at him early and often.
- Bournemouth keeper – GPP only with some win upside. Begovic might miss this match and if so then Boruc is next man up. This is for Draftkings.
That’s it for the week. If you read this article and you said “Wow, these stats are cool.
