See the dream line-up this weekend featuring Brighton, Man City and Man Utd double-ups

There are double-ups on three clubs – Brighton & Hove Albion, Manchester City and Manchester United – in the best XI for Gameweek 32 in Fantasy Premier League ahead of Friday’s 18:30 BST deadline.

Brighton pair Bart Verbruggen (£4.5m) and Danny Welbeck (£6.2m) are the first in action, visiting Burnley on Saturday afternoon.

Man City’s Nico O’Reilly (£5.0m) and Erling Haaland £14.4m) travel to Chelsea the following day, before Man Utd’s Bruno Fernandes (£10.3m) and Bryan Mbeumo (£8.6m) entertain Leeds United in the final match of the Gameweek on Monday evening.

The team lines up in a 3-4-3 formation, with Fernandes handed the captain’s armband and Haaland named as vice-captain.

Bart Verbruggen (Brighton) £4.5m

A visit to Burnley gives the Brighton goalkeeper the chance to extend his improving output on the road. Verbruggen has kept a clean sheet in each of his last two away matches, against Brentford and Sunderland, collecting seven points on both occasions.

Gabriel (Arsenal) £7.2m

The Arsenal centre-back’s impact at both ends of the pitch means he can deliver a bumper haul at home to AFC Bournemouth. Gabriel has amassed 46 points and blanked only once across his last six outings at Emirates Stadium, combining a goal and an assist with four clean sheets. 

Nico O’Reilly (Man City) £5.0m

Listed as a defender in Fantasy, O’Reilly has thrived in a new role as a central midfielder. He’s scored three goals in his last four league matches – earning a team-high 38 points – and followed that up by scoring both Man City’s goals in their EFL Cup final win over Arsenal.

Nordi Mukiele (Sunderland) £4.5m

Sunderland’s centre-back has proven one of the most consistent defenders in home fixtures this season ahead of his match against Tottenham Hotspur. Mukiele has scored once and supplied four assists across his 13 appearances at the Stadium of Light, as well as earning four clean sheets. 

Bruno Fernandes (Man Utd) £10.3m

The Portuguese’s form at Old Trafford under Michael Carrick means he is handed the captain’s armband against Leeds. Fernandes has delivered a double-figure haul in all five of his appearances at Old Trafford for Carrick, scoring twice and supplying six assists.

Bryan Mbeumo (Man Utd) £8.6m

A role up front for Man Utd under Carrick lifts Mbeumo’s prospects for attacking returns on Monday evening. He faces a Leeds side who have struggled on their travels this season, keeping just two clean sheets and conceding 28 goals in 15 matches.

Morgan Gibbs-White (Nott’m Forest) £7.4m

An ownership of under six per cent makes the Nottingham Forest midfielder a great overlooked option for his home match against Aston Villa. Gibbs-White has scored against Brighton, Man City and Spurs over the last four Gameweeks, totalling 28 points in that run. 

Ismaila Sarr (Crystal Palace) £6.3m

Crystal Palace’s Senegalese has stepped up his output since returning from the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON). Sarr has scored four of his seven goals for 2025/26 in his last seven appearances, including his season-high haul of 15 points against Spurs as recently as Gameweek 29.

Erling Haaland (Man City) £14.4m

The Norwegian’s hat-trick against Liverpool in the FA Cup last weekend suggests he is back to his very best, after struggling with injury niggles for a number of matches. A fully-fit Haaland now faces a Chelsea side who are without a clean sheet in the last nine Gameweeks, showing why many of his 55 per cent backers will be far more confident of handing him the armband once again. 

Jarrod Bowen (West Ham) £7.6m

A home match against Wolverhampton Wanderers gives the West Ham United talisman the opportunity to extend his consistent run of form. Bowen has scored twice and supplied five assists over the Hammers’ last nine matches, blanking on only three occasions and totalling 50 points. 

Danny Welbeck (Brighton) £6.2m

Brighton’s favourable short-term schedule has made their forward the most-bought player in Gameweek 32, with the Seagulls visiting Burnley prior to their Double Gameweek 33 (DGW33) against Spurs and Chelsea. Welbeck has earned 215,000+ transfers in ahead of Friday’s 18:30 BST deadline, with four goals and 32 points in his last four start suggesting he can immediately reward that collective show of faith.Â
