Arsenal and Liverpool players have the perfect combination of form and fixture to deliver major armband hauls in Gameweek 32 of Fantasy Premier League.

Both sides have home matches with bottom-three opponents, facing Southampton and Nottingham Forest respectively.
When assessing the options from each side, a recent change in personnel and tactics must be factored in.
Gabriel Jesus's (£8.2m) return to the Arsenal XI in Double Gameweek 29 following injury has proved significant.
He has scored four goals and amassed a team-leading 26 points in that run, edging Gabriel Martinelli (£6.9m) into second on 23 points.
Top-scoring players last three matches
| Arsenal | Points | Goals | Assists |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jesus | 26 | 4 | 0 |
| Martinelli | 23 | 1 | 3 |
| Odegaard | 18 | 1 | 1 |
| White | 14 | 1 | 1 |
Notably, Jesus had six big chances in those encounters, four more than Martinelli’s two, while Bukayo Saka (£8.5m) managed a mere one, blanking in all three matches.
Martinelli has mainly relied on his creativity in this period, with three assists and a single goal.
He made eight key passes, more than double the total of any team-mate.

| Arsenal | Shots | Shots in box | Big chances | Shots on target | Chances created |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jesus | 7 | 7 | 6 | 4 | 1 |
| Martinelli | 7 | 6 | 2 | 3 | 8 |
| Saka | 4 | 4 | 1 | 1 | 3 |
Mohamed Salah (£12.9m) heads into Blank Gameweek 32 on the back of three goals and 19 points in Liverpool's last two matches.
This has coincided with a move into central midfield for Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.4m).
The FPL defender has also been a big success, supplying three of his seven assists this season in that period.
Top-scoring players last two matches
| Liverpool | Points | Goals | Assists |
|---|---|---|---|
| Salah | 19 | 3 | 0 |
| Jota | 18 | 2 | 1 |
| Alexander-Arnold | 14 | 0 | 3 |
| Gakpo | 12 | 1 | 1 |
Salah ranks top for every goal threat statistic for Liverpool, with his 13 shots, 13 shots in the box, five big chances and five shots on target all more than double the totals of any team-mate.
His overall dominance of the Reds’ attack, combined with their improved attacking form with Alexander-Arnold in midfield, gives him the edge for the armband.

| Liverpool | Shots | Shots in box | Big chances | Shots on target | Chances created |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Salah | 13 | 13 | 5 | 5 | 2 |

| Gakpo | 3 | 3 | 1 | 1 | 6 |
Don't rule out Watkins
Ollie Watkins (£7.7m) is the top form player in Fantasy ahead of Aston Villa’s trip to Brentford.
The striker has amassed 45 points over the last four Gameweeks, scoring five goals and assisting a further two.
Nonetheless, Brentford's defensive record at home suggests captaining Watkins could be an unnecessary risk.
Brentford have conceded only 16 goals in home matches, just one more than Manchester City and two fewer than Arsenal.
