FPL Top Transfer Recommendations: Gameweek 32

The Hard Tackle lists the five best options to consider to bring into your team heading into FPL Gameweek 32 of the 2025/26 season.

FPL Gameweek 32 is right around the corner, and it is time to talk about the smartest transfers to boost your Fantasy Premier League squad. With some juicy fixtures on the horizon, certain players stand out as must-haves who could deliver big points and haul you up the rankings. We’re diving deep into five top picks: Nico O’Reilly, El Hadji Malick Diouf, Matheus Cunha, Morgan Gibbs-White, and Danny Welbeck.

These are not just random shouts; they are based on scorching recent form, favourable match-ups, and underlying stats that scream value. Gameweek 32 kicks off with West Ham hosting Wolves on April 10, followed by a packed weekend slate including Manchester City at Chelsea on the 12th, Nottingham Forest versus Aston Villa, and Brighton & Hove Albion at Burnley.

So, FPL managers need to act fast before the deadline, especially with double gameweeks looming for some teams soon after. What makes these players special? They have been racking up points through goals, assists, bonuses, and clean sheets, even when their teams have had rocky patches.

Chelsea’s wild swings, Wolves’ leaks at the back, Leeds United’s soft spots, Aston Villa’s slump, and Burnley’s wobbles set the stage perfectly. We will break down each one, looking at their history, latest exploits, and why GW32 is their moment to shine.

Nico O’Reilly

Nico O’Reilly has turned heads since shifting to midfield for Manchester City, blending defensive solidity with attacking flair that FPL bosses crave. The young gun exploded in the EFL Cup final back in late February, bagging a stunning brace to sink Arsenal 2-0 and hand City the trophy. The youngster has bult the momentum, hauling 30 points across Gameweeks 26 and 27 with three goals and a clean sheet, proving he is no flash in the pan.

Overall, O’Reilly’s points tally this season sits strong, and now he is primed for another haul against Chelsea. The Blues have been a mess in recent weeks, complete with sloppy defending and dropped points against lesser sides.

Manchester City travel to Stamford Bridge on April 12, where O’Reilly’s midfield runs could exploit those gaps for tackles, interceptions, and maybe another goal or two. If you are chasing clean sheets and attacking returns from a defender-priced mid, he is your guy, and possibly even a captaincy pick.

El Hadji Malick Diouf

West Ham’s new left wing-back El Hadji Malick Diouf might fly under the radar at £4.1m, but his sneaky offensive threat makes him a differential gem despite the Hammers’ clean sheet woes. In his league outings this term, he has notched six assists, making him perfect for bonus points and surprise hauls. West Ham sit low in the table, leaking goals left and right. But Diouf’s crossing and forward surges keep delivering.

Gameweek 32 hands him Wolves at home on April 10, and the visitors have been a disaster, bottom of the pile with the Premier League’s worst save percentage and over 12 more goals conceded than expected. Their attack sputters too, giving Diouf chances to shine up the flank with assists or shots on target. Even if no shutout comes, his attacking returns could push 8-10 points. His low ownership could lead to huge ranking gains if he pops.

Matheus Cunha

Matheus Cunha has been a revelation in Manchester United’s midfield this 2025/26 season, turning heads with his relentless energy and output that screams FPL gold. He’s already hit 117 total points with seven goals, four assists assist, two clean sheets, and 12 bonuses. Recent history shows firepower: last term he bagged 15 goals and 22 involvements across 2,600 minutes, and he has carried that dribbling, shooting menace into this campaign despite a couple of quiet blanks lately.

Manchester United host Leeds on April 13, and the Whites look vulnerable at the back after promotion, struggling to match Premier League pace with set-piece woes and transition leaks. Cunha thrives against shaky defences, creating 57 chances last year alone, so expect shots, key passes, and maybe a goal in this setup. His price of £8m offers captaincy upside too; grab him to feast on Leeds and build for future fixtures.

Morgan Gibbs-White

Morgan Gibbs-White is Nottingham Forest’s creative heartbeat, and his late-season surge makes him a Gameweek 32 lock against a stumbling Aston Villa. The Englishman has been pulling strings with consistent returns, and his vision sets up hauls even in tough spots. Lately, he has dazzled with key passes and big chances, ranking high in midfield creativity amid Forest’s solid home form.

Aston Villa roll into the City Ground on April 12 winless in five, scraping just three points and exposed by fixture pile-ups. Ollie Watkins dry, squad thin. Gibbs-White exploits that chaos, threading balls for goals or assists himself; his recent points history screams 10+ potential here. At low ownership, he is a template buster, and his creative prowess seals it for differential hunters.

Danny Welbeck

Veteran English striker Danny Welbeck is firing on all cylinders for Brighton & Hove Albion, with the latest exploits coming against Liverpool before the international break. The 35-year-old has hit the ten-goal mark again in the Premier League goals this season, including the brace against Liverpool, and his “best shape ever” form under Fabian Hurzeler screams longevity.

Brighton head to Burnley on April 11, where the hosts’ defence has faltered despite some compactness talk. It is leaky enough for Welbeck’s poaching runs. Recent hauls position him for another double-digit return, plus doubles in Gameweek 33 against Spurs and Chelsea. His low 5.2% ownership makes him a captaincy rocket and perfect for long-term forward fixes.
