Best FPL Midfielders for Gameweek 33 (GW33)
James Garner (Everton, £5.3m)
Everton have a great chance of upsetting Liverpool this weekend in the Premier League, and James Garner has been one of their best players this season who could end up making a difference. The former Man Utd star has had 7 direct goal contributions this season, and with Liverpool's defense being so weak this campaign, we feel Garner is one of the best FPL midfielders this week.
Antoine Semenyo (Manchester City, £8.2m)
Arsenal look like a shadow of themselves in the past few weeks, especially their defense which is regarded as one of the best in the world. In this situation, someone like Antoine Semenyo could do serious damage to Mikel Arteta's side, who's been fantastic since joining the Citizens. Semenyo already has 6 goal involvements in just 10 league games for City, and he could add to that against the Gunners.
Elliot Anderson (Nottingham Forest, £5.6m)
Elliott Anderson has had a breakout season for Nottingham Forest this season, and there are strong rumours that both Man City and Man Utd are set to engage in a huge transfer battle for the player in the Summer. Forest have one of the best fixtures this weekend, which is Burnley at home. This is one of those perfect games for Anderson to provide you with great returns.
Bruno Fernandes (Manchester United, £10.3m)
We don't need to say much about this player in regards to having him in your Fantasy Premier League team, as he's simply an essential at this point. Bruno Fernandes is currently having one of those legendary individual seasons with Man Utd, and he could even end up breaking the Premier League single season assist record at the end. He's a must-have this Gameweek considering how poor their opponents Chelsea are currently.
Rayan Cherki (Manchester City, £6.3m)
If you don't have the money to get Antoine Semenyo but still need an attractive Manchester City FPL midfielder pick, then look no further than Rayan Cherki. The French playmaker recorded 2 assists in City's dominating 0-3 win over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, and he could very well cause huge problems to an Arsenal side that's been struggling recently.
In conclusion, selecting the right midfielders can have a major impact on your returns in Gameweek 33 of Fantasy Premier League. With a mix of favourable fixtures and strong attacking threat, the midfielders highlighted here stand out as dependable options for consistent points through goals, assists, and bonus contributions.
As always, striking the right balance between current form and fixture difficulty is key when making your decisions. The players mentioned offer a solid combination of both, making them valuable picks whether you’re planning transfers or fine-tuning your starting XI.
Approach your selections strategically and use these insights to maximise your scoring potential in Gameweek 33, because even small midfield decisions can make a big difference over the course of the gameweek.
