Gameweek 32 Essentials: Beto Bags 16 Points, Fernandes On Fire & A Differential You Haven't Thought Of

Welcome back to the Who Got The Points newsletter - your essential FPL briefing before every gameweek. Gameweek 31 was an absolute wild ride: Everton hammered Chelsea 3-0, Brighton shocked Liverpool 2-1, Nott'm Forest destroyed Spurs 3-0, and Sunderland pulled off a stunning 2-1 win over Newcastle. There's a lot to unpick - and a lot of decisions to make before that Friday deadline. Let's get into it.

Saliba (Arsenal) is doubtful for Arsenal's home game against Bournemouth with an ankle injury - rated at a 75% chance of playing. At 13.2% ownership, he's a significant concern for a large chunk of managers. Arsenal's fixture at home to Bournemouth is attractive regardless, but keep a close eye on late team news before the deadline.

Ndiaye (Everton) is also listed as doubtful with a 75% chance of playing after picking up a foot injury - despite this, she still managed 10 points in Gameweek 31. Everton visit Brentford in GW32, which isn't the easiest fixture, but Ndiaye's form is hard to ignore if she's fit. Monitor team news closely.

Sixteen points. At five million pounds. Beto was the standout budget forward of Gameweek 31, scoring two goals and grabbing an assist in Everton's 3-0 hammering of Chelsea. That's 16 points from a £5.0m asset owned by just 2.6% of managers - the definition of a differential haul.

Verdict: Essential. Get him in before his price rises. At £5.0m, this is obscene value. Check the latest price change data to make sure you don't miss the window.

We flagged Welbeck as essential before GW31 - and he delivered immediately. Two goals against Liverpool, 12 points, and he's now on an impressive 12 goals for the season. Brighton now face Burnley (GW32) and then Spurs (GW33) - back-to-back highly favourable fixtures.

Verdict: Essential. Over 122,000 transfers in tells you everything. Two premium double-gameweek-style fixtures coming up. If you don't own him, fix that now.

Fernandes is in absolutely ridiculous form. Form rating of 11, 189 total points, and 13 points in GW31 with a goal and an assist against Bournemouth. He now has 17 assists and 8 goals this season, making him one of the best creative midfielders in the entire game. Man Utd host Leeds on Monday night in GW32 - a very winnable fixture under Michael Carrick.

Verdict: Essential if you don't already own him. At 44.4% ownership he's almost a template pick - but if you're without him, he needs to come in. See our full player recommendations for more context on how to fit him into your squad.

Bowen played 90 minutes in GW31 and managed just 2 points. West Ham host Wolves on Friday night - a fixture rated 2 vs 2 in difficulty, which is hardly inspiring. While 8 goals and 7 assists this season looked promising, his form has cooled significantly. His expected points of just 5.3 don't justify a £7.5m price tag when better options exist across the pitch.

Verdict: Sell if you can upgrade. The money is better spent elsewhere.

Here's a damning stat: Dewsbury-Hall played 88 minutes in GW31 while Everton hammered Chelsea 3-0 - and still only managed 3 points. When your team wins by that scoreline and your midfielder can only muster 3 points, that's a serious red flag. His expected points for GW32 sit at just 5.0, and over 8,000 managers are already shipping him out. With Beto and Ndiaye both hauling, the Everton premium is better invested elsewhere.

Verdict: Sell. Redirect the funds into Beto or toward a Fernandes upgrade.

If you have any Spurs assets who aren't nailed-on starters, get them out. Thomas Frank's side just conceded three to Nott'm Forest without reply, and now face Sunderland in GW32 - a team in form after beating Newcastle 2-1 in GW31. Avoid the rotation risk entirely and redirect that cash into players with better form and fixtures.

Looking for an edge over your mini-league rivals? These are the picks most managers aren't considering. You can also browse our full differential player tool for even more options.

Gordon bagged 10 points in GW31 with a goal and three bonus points, and he's now been involved in 10 goals this season (6 goals, 4 assists). Crystal Palace vs Newcastle on Sunday is rated 3 vs 3 in difficulty - evenly matched on paper, but Gordon is hitting form at exactly the right time of the season. Expected points of 7.5 and under 10% ownership make him a compelling midfield differential.

Just above the 10% threshold but too good to ignore. Tarkowski kept a clean sheet and bagged 6 points against Chelsea in GW31, and has now kept 11 clean sheets this season - averaging 4.7 points per game. His expected points for GW32 against Brentford sit at 6.0, and nearly 76,000 managers are transferring him in this week. A brilliant budget defender if you need defensive cover.

This is your wildcard differential. André is owned by just 0.1% of managers - meaning almost no one in your mini-league will have him. Wolves play West Ham on Friday night, which is the early deadline fixture. André is a crucial creative force in the Wolves midfield under Rob Edwards, with a form rating of 6.3 and expected points of 5.8. If you want someone genuinely unique at a budget price, this is your pick.

Main Captain: Bruno Fernandes (Man Utd) - Man Utd host Leeds on Monday night. With an expected points haul of 11.5, 17 assists this season, and a form rating of 11, Fernandes has been the standout FPL captain pick week after week. There is genuinely no reason to overthink this. If you own him, he wears the armband. Simple.

Differential Captain: Welbeck (Brighton) - If you want a contrarian armband choice, Welbeck at home to Burnley on Saturday is your option. He's just scored two goals against Liverpool, he's on 12 for the season, and Brighton's fixture against Burnley is as favourable as it gets. Under 5% ownership means a big haul here could be a genuine mini-league winner.

⚠️ The Gameweek 32 deadline is Friday 10th April at 5:30pm. West Ham vs Wolves kicks off at 7:00pm on Friday evening - if you're targeting André or any Wolves assets, you must make your moves before that 5:30pm cut-off. Don't get caught out.
