Who are the best under-the-radar players to add to your Fantasy Premier League team for Gameweek 32 of 2025-26? We assess the Opta data to reveal our top picks.
After a long break for international football and the FA Cup quarter-finals, the run-in for the 2025-26 season starts here. With six teams having two matches in gameweek 33, your choices for this matchday could make a huge difference to your Fantasy Premier League fortunes.
We’ve crunched the Opta data to identify five players you should consider bringing into your team, despite them currently being picked by fewer than 10% of FPL managers.
GK – Emiliano Martínez | 5.1m | 4.8% Ownership
There are six goalkeepers who have earned at least 100 FPL points this season who are eligible for selection here. You could make a case for any of Bart Verbruggen (101 points), Djordje Petrovic (102), Gianluigi Donnarumma (104), Emiliano Martínez (105), Robin Roefs (110) or Dean Henderson (115).
As Brighton, Bournemouth and Manchester City all play twice in gameweek 33, their goalkeepers may be good choices. However, the Seagulls face two of the big-six clubs in this period; the Cherries are at Arsenal this weekend, and Man City have Chelsea and the Gunners in their next two games.
A team with a kinder upcoming schedule is Aston Villa. They ended a three-game losing league run with a 2-0 win over West Ham last time out. It also meant they kept three clean sheets in four matches in all competitions prior to the international break.
While they are in Europa League action this week, so are their opponents on Sunday, Nottingham Forest. Villa are away but facing the lowest-scoring home team in the Premier League. Forest have notched just 13 goals in their 15 Premier League games at the City Ground and their last three league encounters there have seen them attempt 64 shots totalling 4.7 xG without scoring.
With the Villans then hosting a Sunderland side that averages 0.63 goals per away match, Martínez is the logical selection for goalkeeper this week.
DEF – Jan Paul van Hecke | 4.5m | 5.9% Ownership
Brighton’s Jan Paul van Hecke should be one of the most sought-after defenders in FPL this season. He is one of only 12 men in the position who have amassed at least 120 points and he has started 29 of 31 matches, so is a very reliable presence.
Players such as James Tarwkowski (with 142 points and 30 starts), Marcos Senesi (137, 30) and Virgil van Dijk (135, 31) are all better on this front. What sets van Hecke apart is that he only costs £4.5m, the least of any of the top 14 defenders in 2025-26 for points scored.
His team are in strong form defensively, too. No side in the division has conceded fewer goals in the previous seven game weeks than Brighton. The five they allowed include an own goal, two deflected strikes and a smart finish from Milos Kerkez after a defensive error by Lewis Dunk. Otherwise, they have given up very little.
Brighton are at Turf Moor this weekend, a ground at which they’ve conceded just five goals in their six Premier League visits. A trip to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium to face former boss Roberto De Zerbi follows that, so the hope would be that Van Hecke can continue collecting FPL points against a pair of struggling teams.
MID – Kaoru Mitoma | 6.1m | 1.9% Ownership
As well as Brighton have defended in the previous two months, they haven’t scored many goals. Only Bournemouth and Leeds (both six) have netted fewer times than the Seagulls (seven) since the beginning of February.
Danny Welbeck has been pulling his weight, having scored four times. Diego Gómez bagged the opening goal of wins against Brentford and Nottingham Forest. But the rest? They don’t have much to show for their attacking endeavours in recent weeks.
Yankuba Minteh scored Brighton’s other league goal in this period. He has also been in form creatively, with 1.12 expected assists across the previous three matchdays. Bruno Fernandes (1.87) is the only player to top this, though he has three assists for his trouble, whereas Minteh has none.
Having recently missed two Opta-defined big chances, Jack Hinshelwood could be due a goal. However, Kaoru Mitoma missed three in his previous four league matches. He also scored the winner for Japan at Wembley last week, condemning England to their first ever defeat against an Asian nation.
Mitoma should be full of confidence while also likely to end a Premier League goal drought. Against the obliging defences of Burnley and Spurs, the 28-year-old should have some fun.
MID – Anthony Gordon | 7.4m | 7.6% Ownership
Sunday’s game between Crystal Palace and Newcastle will feature two of the most profligate midfielders in FPL this season. Yéremy Pino has underachieved against his expected assists (by 3.77) and expected goals (1.94) by a combined 5.71, the most of anyone in the 2025-26 Premier League.
On the opposite side will be a player with the seventh-worst tally (-4.13), Anthony Gordon. The England international’s figures would perhaps be the worst in the division if he hadn’t been in good form recently.
Gordon has netted in three of his previous four Premier League starts. His goals against Manchester United, Chelsea and Sunderland can be added to four at Qarabag to give him seven in as many starts in all competitions.
With Palace away to Fiorentina on Thursday night, Newcastle will have the advantage in terms of rest. They have also won the last two meetings by an aggregate score of 7-0. While both of those were at home, the Magpies have only lost one of their previous five trips to Selhurst Park.
Newcastle follow that game by hosting Bournemouth, who have conceded the second most away goals in the top flight. Gordon has underlying numbers to cash in and now could be the time.
FWD – Tolu Arokodare | 5.3m | 0.1% Ownership
There are some interesting names who are averaging exactly 0.34 expected goals per 90 minutes this season. Among players with at least 1,230 minutes, it’s the joint-13th best. If not quite elite, it’s a solid position to hold.
The five men grouped together are Tolu Arokodare, Thierno Barry, Bryan Mbeuno, Mohamed Salah and Nick Woltemade. The Wolverhampton Wanderers forward is the least heralded of those names, yet might be the man to go for in gameweek 32.
Rob Edwards’ side are in rare old form by their standards. Wolves earned just eight points across their first 25 matches but have collected nine in the last six. They have lost just once in the latter period, with only seven teams picking up more points.
As this spell includes beating Aston Villa and Liverpool and holding Arsenal to a draw, you think they could continue their good form against their forthcoming opposition. The quartet of West Ham, Leeds, Tottenham and Sunderland means Wolves are solely tackling bottom-half sides.
Their players have understandably not made frequent appearances in this column. The last was Mateus Mané in gameweek 21. He repaid our faith with a goal (against Everton) so hopefully Arokodare does likewise. As West Ham have conceded the most headed goals this season (16), he should get chances on Friday night.
