Give Saka the captain's armband - FPL tips & team of the week

The Fantasy Premier League play heads consecutive into a 2nd consecutive double gameweek.

With only 4 teams playing doubly successful week 33 - Manchester City, Aston Villa, Arsenal and Crystal Palace - you'll astir apt spot a batch of akin teams among your rivals and FPL experts astatine nan moment, but location are still gains to beryllium made if you play it smart.

Here's BBC Sport's squad of nan week and nan answers to immoderate cardinal questions for gameweek 33.

There is 1 standout action this week - Arsenal's Bukayo Saka.

If you knew Saka was going to play twice, he is nan astir breathtaking pick, pinch Ipswich distant and Palace astatine home.

Does Mikel Arteta remainder him? Arsenal person Newcastle breathing down their cervix for 2nd spot and support dropping points truthful nan Gunners leader can't spend excessively overmuch rotation.

They besides person a six-day break betwixt nan Palace crippled and their Champions League semi-final against Paris St-Germain.

I'm assured Saka plays astatine slightest 120 minutes this gameweek and astir apt more.

Gameweek 33 is nan champion chance to Bench Boost earlier nan extremity of nan season, moreover if we get different double successful 36.

If you person 15 playing assets and you for illustration nan match-ups for astir of them, past propulsion nan trigger.

The main rumor is crippled clip - location are not a batch of nailed-on assets among Arsenal, City aliases Villa. Palace are a small much predictable but each 4 teams mightiness person their minds connected cup competitions.

So make your bid pinch nan truth that location will beryllium benchings and play that chip.

Don't beryllium going huffy shipping retired bully azygous gameweek players to compression different double action into your team.

Liverpool - look woeful Leicester truthful Mohamed Salah is simply a must and Virgil van Dijk has arsenic bully a cleanable expanse chance arsenic immoderate double gameweek defender.

West Ham - Jarrod Bowen jumps retired arsenic nan Hammers big relegated Southampton. You should besides beryllium assured starting a West Ham protect asset.

Manchester United - Wolves astatine location could beryllium productive for Bruno Fernandes. Four of his 5 double-digit hauls this play person travel against teams successful nan bottommost 5 (at nan time).

I'd besides counsel against taking excessively galore hits to bring successful double gameweek players - a -4 tin salary off. Any much and you are asking for a batch to spell your measurement to dress up that difference.

It's difficult to spell backmost to defender Daniel Munoz, who vanished pinch -1 points successful gameweek 32. He's still ace attacking - pinch 8 entries into nan container successful 32 - and was adjacent to an assist, but Bournemouth and Arsenal are some apt to people against Palace.

But I'd still put your religion successful attacking assets specified arsenic Eberechi Eze, Ismaila Sarr and Jean-Philippe Mateta, particularly if they are already successful your team.

No request to sell, difficult to foretell if immoderate will beryllium rested for nan FA Cup and each 3 person haul potential. Eze could person had 3 goals past week, for example, but for a very tight offside telephone and missed penalty.

Defence was astir a debacle, pinch a mixed 4 points from 4 players - but Kieran Trippier's 12-pointer saved nan day.

Jacob Murphy (19 points) was nan prima man but 70 points is still disappointing for a double gameweek.

Listen to nan latest Fantasy 606 podcast connected BBC Sounds.

David Raya, Arsenal, keeper, £5.5m

William Saliba, Arsenal, £6.5m

Both look Ipswich (a) and Crystal Palace (h)

The 2 astir reliable Arsenal protect assets successful a week wherever they could easy get 2 cleanable sheets. Boring, I know, but very steady.

Virgil van Dijk, Liverpool, £6.6m - Leicester (a)

Leicester scored past week but mislaid their erstwhile 8 games without scoring. The astir nailed-on cleanable expanse outcry this week.

He's a amended prime than a double action from Palace - spot supra - and Villa who person 3 cleanable sheets successful their past 4 games, but are improbable to get 1 this week.

Josko Gvardiol, Manchester City, £6.2m - Everton (a), Villa (h)

The Croatian has 16 points successful his past 3 games and you can't move down this double gameweek. He's City's champion protect plus arsenic we each know.

Bukayo Saka (captain), Arsenal, £10.5m - Ipswich (a), Palace (h)

For nan reasons stated above, I'd beryllium assured astir Saka's minutes this week. Yes he is coming backmost from wounded but he besides needs crippled clip to get his fittingness up.

From past experience, he could easy get double digits successful some of these games truthful he gets nan armband.

Mohamed Salah (vice-captain), Liverpool, £13.8m - Leicester (a)

Last gameweek was nan first since week 8 successful which Salah's nett transfers were negative. People are trading him but don't beryllium 1 of them.

And if you are consequence averse, aliases worried astir crippled clip for your doublers, Salah would make a secure skipper choice.

Morgan Rogers, Aston Villa, £5.6m - Newcastle (h), Man City (a)

Turns retired it was daft to deliberation Rogers mightiness get a remainder past week. He's go a subordinate who starts each crippled for Villa. This double is not breathtaking for them but Rogers is nan only Villa guardant plus you tin genuinely expect to commencement some matches and you do fancy them to people successful some games.

Jarrod Bowen, West Ham, £7.5m - Southampton (h)

This match-up is excessively juicy to walk up for West Ham's talisman. Bowen's having a 7/10 play truthful far, but he still has 4 double-digit hauls.

In his past six games he has had 17 shots, 12 successful nan box. Bowen usually overperforms his expected goals (xG) yet he has conscionable 1 extremity successful that clip from 1.4 xG, suggesting he mightiness beryllium due.

Eberechi Eze, Crystal Palace, £6.9m - Bournemouth (h), Arsenal (a)

As nan week draws closer, I'm becoming much and much convinced Palace leader Oliver Glasner rests immoderate cardinal players successful nan Arsenal match, pinch small to play for successful nan convention and an FA Cup semi-final 4 days later.

But Eze is still worthy a punt. As mentioned above, he could person hauled successful week 32 and we'd past beryllium looking astatine him very differently.

He's Palace's cardinal subordinate and could very good commencement some matches and get brought disconnected pinch 20 minutes to go.

Omar Marmoush, Manchester City, £7.3m - Everton (a), Villa (h)

Three goals successful his past 4 games and a awesome differential Triple Captain outcry if you don't ain Saka.

If you've owned and watched Marmoush play successful those 4 games, you'll beryllium emotion for illustration he could person scored much and his underlying statistic backmost that up.

The Egyptian has had 18 shots, 10 connected target, 10 successful nan box, 4 large chances - he is simply a haul waiting to happen.

Evanilson, Bournemouth, £5.8m - Crystal Palace (a)

Since nan Brazilian made his first commencement connected his return from wounded 5 games ago, he has led nan measurement among strikers successful almost each category.

Wolves striker Jorgen Strand Larsen (5) is nan only guardant pinch much goals than Evanilson's four, but nan Bournemouth man has had nan astir shots successful nan container (16), nan astir large chances (7) and nan highest xG (4.44).

He tin return advantage of a Palace defence that has conceded 9 successful nan past 2 games.

Alphonse Areola, West Ham, keeper, £4.2m - Southampton (h)

Max Kilman, West Ham, defender, £4.3m - Southampton (h)

Iliman Ndiaye, Everton, striker, £5.2m - Manchester City (h)

Jan Bednarek, Southampton, defender, £4m - West Ham (a)

Teal full cost: £99.9m

The squad of nan week is selected based connected existent FPL prices to fresh wrong a £100m budget, arsenic if you were playing a Free Hit.

Chris Wood, Nottingham Forest, striker, £6.9m

The 18-goal striker is fresh again and Forest look leaky Spurs this week, earlier a location crippled against Brentford.

There's besides a imaginable double gameweek connected nan sky if they scope nan FA Cup final, pinch 1 of those games being Leicester astatine home.

West Ham - Southampton (h), Brighton (a), Spurs (h)

The Hammers are hardly brimming pinch FPL assets, but they person inexpensive defenders if your fund is tight and midfielders Bowen and Mohammed Kudus (£6.2m) who are usually playing retired of position arsenic forwards.

If Nottingham Forest scope nan FA Cup final, there's a chance West Ham extremity up pinch a double gameweek successful 36 too.
