Five players from Crystal Palace and Newcastle United are featured in the best XI for Double Gameweek 32 in Fantasy Premier League.
Daniel Munoz (£5.2m) and Jean-Philippe Mateta (£7.7m) are picked ahead of Palace's trips to Manchester City and Newcastle.
They are joined by Newcastle trio Dan Burn (£4.5m), Jacob Murphy (£5.1m) and Alexander Isak (£9.5m) for their home encounters with Manchester United and Palace.
Isak and Mateta are the captain and vice-captain respectively, with Palace boss Oliver Glasner (£0.8m) selected as the Assistant Manager due to his potential for extra table-bonus points.
Your chosen Assistant Manager earns extra points for a win or a draw against a club ranked at least five places higher in the Premier League table at the start of the Gameweek.
Palace have four matches over the next two Gameweeks and Glasner can earn table bonus in THREE of them - against Man City, Newcastle and Arsenal.
However, if you play the Assistant Manager chip in Double Gameweek 32, you must remember it lasts for THREE Gameweeks. As you can only use one chip in a Gameweek, this would mean you couldn't play another chip until Gameweek 35!
Consequently, you would NOT be able to use the Free Hit chip in Blank Gameweek 34, for example, when four clubs - Arsenal, Aston Villa, Crystal Palace and Manchester City - will be WITHOUT a fixture, with their players therefore scoring zero points in Fantasy.
Robert Sanchez (Chelsea) £4.5m
A home meeting with Ipswich Town gives Sanchez the chance to continue his improving form. Chelsea have conceded just one goal across their last five Premier League matches.
Daniel Munoz (Crystal Palace) £5.2m
Four goals, five assists and nine clean sheets highlight the wing-back’s potential for points at both ends of the pitch. Munoz has had 28 shots in the box this season, placing him second among defenders in Fantasy.
Nikola Milenkovic (Nottingham Forest) £5.1m
The Serb has helped Nottingham Forest keep a league-high eight clean sheets in home matches. Milenkovic also boasts a huge threat at set-pieces against Everton, as evidenced by his four goals and two assists in 2024/25 Fantasy.
Dan Burn (Newcastle) £4.5m
His goal in Newcastle’s recent EFL Cup final win over Liverpool highlights the centre-back’s aerial threat. Burn has had 15 shots in the box this season in the league, more than any other Magpies defender.
Mohamed Salah (Liverpool) £13.8m
With both Isak and Mateta playing twice, the Egyptian is relieved of captaincy duties after his back-to-back blanks against Everton and Fulham. Nonetheless, Salah remains vital to your line-up as Liverpool welcome West Ham United to Anfield on Sunday afternoon.
Cole Palmer (Chelsea) £10.7m
The Chelsea playmaker’s output at Stamford Bridge shows why he can get back to his best against Ipswich this weekend. Palmer is the second top-scoring player in home matches in 2024/25 Fantasy, amassing 106 points, thanks to eight goals and five assists.
Kaoru Mitoma (Brighton) £6.5m
A home meeting with Leicester City gives the Brighton & Hove Albion winger the opportunity to deliver a big haul, proving he recovers from a heel injury. In Friday's pre-match press conference, head coach Fabian Hurzeler revealed that the winger is a doubt for the match. Over the last six Gameweeks, Mitoma’s total of five big chances – situations where the player is expected to score – rank joint-top for the Seagulls.
Jacob Murphy (Newcastle) £5.1m
The winger’s two goals against Leicester on Monday evening have made him the No 1 target for managers in Double Gameweek 32. Murphy has amassed 300,000+ new owners ahead of Saturday’s 11:00 BST deadline and offers outstanding value at a mere £5.1m.
Alexander Isak (Newcastle) £9.5m
His output at St James’ Park shows why many managers will even be using their Triple Captain chip on Isak. The Swede has been involved in 14 goals in 13 home outings, scoring 10 and assisting a further four, while averaging 7.5 points per match in those contests.

Ollie Watkins (Aston Villa) £8.9m
The Aston Villa forward looks set to start against Southampton, having been limited to a brief substitute appearance against Paris Saint-Germain in the UEFA Champions League in midweek. Watkins has scored or assisted in four of his last five starts in away matches.
Jean-Philippe Mateta (Crystal Palace) £7.7m
Palace’s Frenchman has blanked only twice in his last 10 league outings, and his recent record on the road highlights his appeal as an alternative captain to Isak. Mateta has delivered 13-point hauls in two of his last four away outings.
