There is just a 36-hour turnaround between the end of Gameweek 32+ and the start of Gameweek 33+ so the window for making your latest batch of transfers is a narrow one.
To make the decision-making process even more difficult, there are plenty of players who look primed for big hauls this weekend with some enticing fixtures on the horizon.
Narrowing down this week’s selection to only five players was a particularly challenging task, therefore, but i has done some number crunching to unearth the very best options.
So, without further ado, here are five players to consider bringing in.
Marcus Rashford, FWD, Man Utd
vs Bournemouth (H)
At the time of writing, five of the six most bought players ahead of GW33+ are from Manchester United which is unsurprising given their good form and appetising upcoming fixtures.
Marcus Rashford is one of those players that managers are flocking to despite him failing to find the net in the Premier League since the restart, although he did deliver two assists against Sheffield United.
Over the past two league games, Anthony Martial has hit a hat-trick, Bruno Fernandes has netted a brace and Mason Greenwood scored and assisted against Brighton.
Marcus Rashford will hope it’s his turn against a Bournemouth defence that has just shipped four goals at home to Newcastle.
Cost: £9.1m Points: 147
Riyad Mahrez, MID, Man City
vs Southampton (A)
There have never been any question marks over Riyad Mahrez’s ability as a footballer or as an FPL asset for that matter; the problem is guessing when Pep Guardiola is actually going to pick him.
The 29-year-old was in-and-out of the City side in the opening 18-months of his spell with the club, but he has been given an increasingly prominent role recently, shown by three consecutive starts after the restart.
Only Kevin De Bruyne (19) and Trent Alexander-Arnold (14) have provided more FPL assists than Mahrez (12) this season, while he has also weighed in with nine goals.
Cost: £8.5m Points: 148
Aaron Wan-Bissaka, DEF, Man Utd
vs Bournemouth (H)
Plenty of FPL managers are attempting to crowbar three of Bruno Fernandes, Anthony Martial, Marcus Rashford and the aforementioned Greenwood into their sides but don’t sleep on United’s defensive assets.
Although David De Gea and Harry Maguire have their merits, the pick of the bunch is an FPL favourite from last season, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, who has amassed 21 points from his last two matches.
Wan-Bissaka was a bonus points magnet while playing for Crystal Palace last season and he is rapidly sharpening the attacking side of his game at United these days after registering back-to-back assists.
Cost: £5.4m Points: 108
Harry Kane, FWD, Spurs
vs Everton (H)
Harry Kane has been a reliable source of points to FPL managers down the years but he frustrated owners earlier in the season while playing in a slightly deeper role.
Jose Mourinho has reinstated him at the apex of Tottenham’s attack since the restart, though, and he has shown signs of rediscovering his penalty box prowess.
Historically, Kane enjoys playing against Everton – he has scored eight goals in his last four games against them – while he has also a track record for ending seasons on a hot streak.
Cost: £10.9m Points: 111
Mo Salah, MID, Liverpool
vs Aston Villa (H)
A three-month break hasn’t done much for Aston Villa’s form as they have failed to win any of their four fixtures back ahead of Sunday’s trip to Anfield.
Although Liverpool have already wrapped up the Premier League title, there are still individual accolades to be collected with Alisson after the Golden Glove and Mohamed Salah in pursuit of a third successive golden boot.
Salah is on 17 goals for the season (before Thursday’s clash with Man City), two behind front-runners Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Jamie Vardy, and he will be out to make up ground on the pair this weekend.
Cost: £12.6m Points: 196
