FPL Planning for Gameweeks 30-32

Fantasy Football can be super fun, but it can also be daunting for managers looking long-term. This is something many have a problem with. However, to help with that, we take a look at some FPL planning for Gameweeks 30-32.
Here you will learn which teams have the best fixtures, the best players to buy, and whether we could use a chip.
Gameweek 30-32 Fixtures
Below we can see the Fantasy Football Scout Fixture Ticker in difficulty order. The teams at the top have the easiest fixtures and the teams at the bottom have the toughest fixtures.

Best Players to Buy

- Newcastle – With four fixtures in the next three rounds, the Magpies could be a great team to back. At the back Dan Burn (£4.4m) who recently scored in the Cup final is the cheapest and most reliable, full-back Tino Livramento (£4.5m) could be an alternative. Penalty taker and striker Alexander Isak (£9.3m) could be considered an essential during this period. Three returns in his previous six also suggests midfielder Jacob Murphy (£5m) could be a nice cheap option.
- Crystal Palace – Four matches in the next three shows the Eagles could also be a priority. Ranking second best among defenders for expected goals, Daniel Munoz (£5.1m) is the standout defender. Goalkeepers Dean Henderson (£4.6m) and centre-back Maxence Lacroix (£4.4m) are less expensive alternatives. The standout attacker is striker and penalty taker Jean Phillipe Mateta (£7.5m). Midfielders Isamila Sarr (£5.6m) and Eberechi Eze (£6.7m) are also good considerations.
- Bournemouth – The Cherries have some great fixtures ahead and have had a wonderful campaign thus far. FPL managers could pick full-back Milos Kerkez (£5.2m), or go cheaper with centre-back Dean Huijsen (£4.5.m). Their attack is much more appealing though, with penalty taker Justin Kluivert (£6.2m) standing out. Fellow midfielder Antoine Semenyo (£5.7m) could also be an option. Up front, Francisco Evanilson (£5.7m) recently returned from injury.

More Great Picks

- Mohamed Salah (£13.7m) – For those that sold Salah due to his blank in Gameweek 29, it could be time to bring him back. The Egyptian has been relentless this season and faces Everton, Fulham and West Ham next.
- Strand Larsen (£5.3m) – Coming in nice and cheap from Wolves, Larsen faces West Ham, Ipswich and Tottenham next, so could be a great budget selection.
- Arsenal defence – The Gooners have maintained some of the best underlying defensive data in the league. Because of this, assets like goalkeeper David Raya (£5.5m), along with centre-backs Gabriel (£6.4m) and William Saliba (£6.2m) have potential
- Joao Pedro (£5.6m) – Brighton have been in great form recently – winning four of their previous five matches. The Seagulls play Aston Villa, Crystal Palace and Leicester next up, which could be good opportunities for Pedro to continue his excellent form.
Should We Use a Chip?
The period ahead could be a fantastic opportunity to use a chip.
One chip many could use is the assistant manager chip. Newcastle’ Eddie Howe (£1.5m) and Crystal Palace’ Oliver Glasner (£0.8m) both have four fixtures in the next three weeks, so could be great options for that.
FPL managers could also consider using the Wildcard. Many will be hoping to prepare for the future doubles, by activating their chip ahead of Gameweek 30 or 31.
Those that have used their assistant manager chip, could activate their triple captain. Both Alexander Isak and Jean Phillipe Mateta could be strong contenders in Gameweek 32.
