Welcome back, FPL managers - and if you're reading this on Sunday morning, hopefully you caught this in time! Gameweek 33 is a Double Gameweek, the deadline was 10am Saturday, and there was absolutely no time to waste. Whether you made your moves or you're planning ahead for GW34, here's everything you need to know about the doubles, the differentials, and the must-act transfers from our latest pod.
⚡ GW33 Key Facts - What You Need to Know
Scott
Welbeck
This is a DOUBLE GAMEWEEK - Bournemouth, Man City, Burnley, Brighton, and Leeds all play twice
Arsenal travel to Man City on Sunday but have NO second fixture - single-fixture risk
Sunderland face Aston Villa on Sunday and are in incredible form (recent wins over Spurs and Newcastle)
West Ham smashed Wolves 4-0 in GW32 and face Crystal Palace on Monday night
The GW33 deadline was 10am Saturday 19th April - earlier than the usual Friday deadline
✅ Top 3 Transfers IN for GW33
1. Okafor (Leeds) - £5.5m | 2.1% Ownership
The differential value pick of the round, and the standout name from this entire episode. Okafor has been absolutely flying, and at just 2.1% ownership, he could be the rank-climbing move you've been waiting for.
GW32: Scored 2 goals, earned 15 points against Man United
Season total: 6 goals and 2 assists
Form rating: 8.0 - one of the highest in the data
Expected points for GW33: 16.5 - the HIGHEST in the entire dataset
Double gameweek fixtures: Wolves and Bournemouth (both very manageable)
Over 150,000 transfers in already this gameweek
Price: £5.5m - elite value for a double-gameweek differential
At five point five million with sixteen point five expected points and a double gameweek, Okafor is the differential value pick of the round. Essential for the double.
He's also the captaincy recommendation this week - more on that below. If you're playing a Bench Boost or Wildcard, Okafor should be front and centre of your planning.
2. Thiago (Brentford) - £7.3m | 31.9% Ownership
Already owned by nearly a third of the game, Thiago continues to deliver and his price is rising. If you still don't have him, this is your wake-up call.
GW32: Scored 2 goals, picked up 3 bonus points, total of 13 points
Season total: 21 goals - a truly remarkable return
GW33 fixture: Fulham at home (rated 3 vs 3 - competitive but Thiago finds a way)
Expected points for GW33: 8.5
Price rising - near the top of every Wildcard and Bench Boost squad right now
Owned by 31.9% - a template asset you simply can't ignore
Twenty-one goals this season. If you don't have him, that's a problem.
3. Senesi (Bournemouth) - £5.2m | 25.4% Ownership
The most transferred-in player in the GW33 data by a significant margin. Bournemouth's double fixture makes Senesi a near-essential pick, especially if you're Bench Boosting.
GW32: 4 points after a 2-1 defeat to Arsenal - a rare blank in an otherwise strong season
Season total: 9 clean sheets - consistent defensive returns all year
Double fixtures: Newcastle at home AND Leeds away
Most transferred-in player in the data: over 320,000 transfers in this event
Price: £5.2m - budget-friendly for a double-gameweek defender
Expected points: 5.0 per game - ceiling is much higher with two fixtures
The underlying numbers are strong and Bournemouth's schedule for the double is favourable. With two bites of the cherry, Senesi's ceiling this week is considerably higher than that 5.0 xP figure suggests.
❌ Top 3 Transfers OUT for GW33
1. Wilson (Fulham) - £6.0m | 19.8% Ownership
Wilson has been bleeding points for weeks, and with Brentford (and Thiago's team) up next, the timing to move on couldn't be clearer.
GW32: Just 2 points - no goals, no assists in 79 minutes
GW33 fixture: Brentford at home - a tough defensive test
Over 226,000 managers already transferring him out
Form has dried up completely - no goals, no assists in recent weeks
Verdict: SELL - redirect funds to double-gameweek assets
2. Rogers (Aston Villa) - £7.4m | 21.2% Ownership
Rogers picked up five points in GW32 thanks to an assist, but the single fixture combined with a very dangerous Sunderland opponent makes him a liability this week.
GW32: 5 points (1 assist) - not terrible but nothing to get excited about
GW33 fixture: Sunderland at home - a side that has beaten Newcastle and Spurs recently
Single fixture this gameweek - no double-gameweek upside
Over 143,000 transfers out already
Verdict: Sell or bench - free up funds for double-gameweek assets
3. Watkins (Aston Villa) - £8.5m | 8.3% Ownership
At £8.5m you are paying premium price for a player who is blanking regularly and faces a Sunderland side riding high on confidence.
GW32: 0 points - no goals, no assists in 86 minutes against Nott'm Forest
Season total: 9 goals - but form has stalled badly in recent weeks
GW33 fixture: Sunderland (away) - a side in excellent form
Premium price tag that simply doesn't match current output
Verdict: SELL - the funds are better deployed elsewhere in a double gameweek
🎯 Differential Picks for GW33
If you're looking to make rank moves this week, these under-the-radar options could be the difference. Browse more differentials to find the best low-ownership options available.
Taty (West Ham) - £5.5m | 0.1% Ownership
GW32: 2 goals and 11 points against Wolves - outstanding return
GW33 fixture: Crystal Palace on Monday night
Season total: 4 goals - but riding a wave of confidence right now
At 0.1% ownership, even a single return is a massive rank boost
Ultimate differential punt if West Ham carry their 4-0 form into Palace
Christie (Bournemouth) - £4.9m | 0.2% Ownership
Price: Under £5m - one of the cheapest viable double-gameweek options
Double fixtures: Newcastle at home and Leeds away
Expected points for GW33: 11.0 - excellent value for the price
Season total: 2 goals and 1 assist
Plays regularly and has massive upside given Bournemouth's favourable double schedule
Gana (Everton) - £5.4m | 0.1% Ownership
GW32: 5 points including an assist - quietly delivering
Season total: 2 goals and 3 assists - consistent attacking involvement
GW33 fixture: Merseyside Derby vs Liverpool on Sunday
At 0.1% ownership, any attacking return in the derby = significant rank gain
A low-cost punt with high-ceiling potential in one of the biggest games of the week
🏴☠️ Captaincy Pick - GW33
The armband decision this week isn't a complicated one. The data points in one direction.
The armband goes on Okafor from Leeds. Sixteen point five expected points, a double gameweek, six goals already this season and fifteen points last week alone. He is in the form of his life and faces Wolves and Bournemouth. He is the standout captain option.
Okafor's 16.5 xP is the highest in the GW33 dataset. Add a double gameweek, genuine form, and two manageable fixtures, and the case is overwhelming. If you want to see the full expected points picture before making your final call, check out the expected points projections for all players.
🔑 Bench Boost & Wildcard Tips for GW33
If you're activating a chip this week, here's how to maximise your double-gameweek coverage:
Prioritise Bournemouth and Leeds assets - both teams play twice and offer strong value at reasonable prices
Senesi (£5.2m) is near-essential for bench boosters - two clean sheet opportunities for low cost
Okafor (£5.5m) gives you the highest xP in the game with two fixtures - lead your attack with him
Christie (£4.9m) is a budget-friendly Bournemouth option that won't wreck your squad structure
Avoid loading up on Arsenal, Villa (single fixture), or any team without a double
Man City assets have a double but face Arsenal on Sunday - assess risk vs reward carefully
