The international break is behind us, and a full slate of Premier League games -- for the first time in three weeks -- is nearly upon us.
It's time for Fantasy Premier League players to get back in the saddle, and here's what you need to know heading into Gameweek 32:
Saved by Salah: Liverpool were the only "Big Six" club in action in Gameweek 31, which included only four fixtures, and FPL players won't soon forget what Mohamed Salah pulled off in a 5-0 home win over Watford: four goals, one assist and a whopping 29 points on the board.
Salah has now accumulated 266 FPL points on the season, which is 83 more than second-place Kevin De Bruyne. I wouldn't hesitate to make Salah my captain again this week at Crystal Palace (Saturday, 7:30 a.m. ET). And I wouldn't dare drop him from my FPL roster, even though Liverpool aren't one of the teams with a double gameweek down the stretch -- he's just been too good.
I wouldn't rush to drop other Liverpool players, either. Roberto Firmino also scored a goal against Watford, Sadio Mane had two assists, and the team posted a clean sheet. Plus their only other game against a "Big Six" club the rest of the way is at Chelsea in Gameweek 37.
Back to Lukaku: Manchester United recorded a 2-0 FA Cup home win over Brighton last time out, including a goal from Romelu Lukaku. He's actually in pretty good form in the league as well, with three goals and two assists in the past five games. And he scored twice in Belgium's 4-0 win over Saudi Arabia on Tuesday.
If you're looking to replace the injured Harry Kane on your roster (more on Kane below), Lukaku is probably your best bet, beginning at home against Swansea on Saturday (10 a.m. ET). Man United do play at Man City in Gameweek 33, but next comes an attractive double gameweek -- West Brom (home) and Bournemouth (away).
Both Alexis Sanchez and Paul Pogba were benched against Brighton. But having a Man United defender and/or David de Gea is a good idea, especially with that double gameweek in mind. Eric Bailly and Chris Smalling started at center back against Brighton, and Smalling is significantly cheaper at 5.4 million pounds.
Extra-long layoff: Manchester City haven't played since a 2-0 victory at Stoke on March 12. David Silva scored both goals in that game, but he had to leave the Spain squad during the international break due to "personal reasons" so he continues to be too risky in FPL terms.
Sergio Aguero sat out Argentina's two friendlies during the break as well, due to injury. So you probably won't see him against Everton at Goodison Park on Saturday (12:30 p.m. ET). But De Bruyne, Raheem Sterling and Leroy Sane all are likely to feature.
Gabriel Jesus scored the only goal in Brazil's 1-0 win over Germany on Tuesday. He'll probably start on Saturday, but once Aguero returns there will likely be a rotation, with the upcoming Champions League quarterfinal tie against Liverpool being Man City's top priority at this point.
Not quite as long: Arsenal's last game was a 3-1 home win over AC Milan in the Europa League on March 15. They'll host Stoke on Sunday (8:30 a.m. ET), and are the biggest favorites of the weekend according to FiveThirtyEight's Soccer Power Index, which gives them an 80 percent chance to win.
Danny Welbeck scored a brace against Milan, but he was starting only because Pierre Emerick-Aubameyang is cup-tied. Aubameyang is the other attractive Kane replacement out there right now -- he has two goals and an assist in the past two league games. Arsenal will face only one more "Big Six" club (at Manchester United in Gameweek 36) and they will have one double gameweek, most likely in Gameweek 37.
Henrikh Mkhitaryan had a goal and an assist in Gameweek 30 (3-0 home win over Watford), and I'll be looking to bring him into my squad at a very reasonable 7.7 million pounds. I also think having an Arsenal defender makes sense, given their easy schedule down the stretch. Nacho Monreal (5.5 million pounds) has been their most productive one, with 112 FPL points, but he's been injury prone (although he did start against Milan). Shkodran Mustafi (5.4 million) is a safer but less productive option.
About time, Al: Chelsea will host Spurs in the best (and final) game of the weekend, Sunday at 11 a.m. ET. They are coming off a 2-1 FA Cup win at Leicester City in extra time two weekends ago.
Alvaro Morata returned to the starting lineup and finally scored another goal in that game. But he still hasn't scored one in the league since Gameweek 20, and isn't even a sure starter against Spurs.
After this week's game, Chelsea have only one more game against a "Big Six" club, hosting Liverpool in Gameweek 37. They'll also play twice in Gameweek 34 (Southampton away, Burnley away), and will have another double gameweek before the end of the season. I don't trust any of their players offensively (they're too inconsistent), but I do want to add a Chelsea defender. Andreas Christensen is the cheapest option by far at 5.3 million pounds, but his status for Sunday is still up in the air. Marcos Alonso (7.2 million) and Cesar Azpilicueta (6.9 million) are the safest options, but they're very expensive.
Son rise: Harry Kane missed Spurs' 3-0 FA Cup win at Swansea two weeks ago, and England's two games during the international break. Mauricio Pochettino did not rule Kane out of the Chelsea game in his news conference on Thursday, but you'd be taking a big gamble keeping him in your squad right now.
On the other hand, Kane's absence increases the value of teammate Heung-Min Son. Son moved from the wing to center forward against Swansea, which should lead to more scoring chances, and he did put one in the back of the net but the goal was controversially ruled offside. He was already in great form, with back-to-back braces in Gameweeks 29 and 30, and will only cost you 8.3 million pounds.
Spurs also will play twice in Gameweek 34, but one of the games is a home fixture against Man City. They don't play in Gameweek 35 -- same as Chelsea and Manchester United -- but will then have another double gameweek before the end of the season. I'll be looking to add a Spurs defender, but not this week given the opponent.
Double-licious: Besides Manchester United, Chelsea and Spurs, the other five teams that will play twice in Gameweek 34 are Bournemouth, Brighton, Burnley, Leicester City and Southampton. But those first three teams play Man United, Spurs and Chelsea in their second games that week, so the extra benefits likely won't be great. (Bournemouth also face Liverpool in their first game that week ... yikes.)
The other two teams, Leicester and Southampton, play each other in the second game. And I've got my eye on Leicester, who also play Burnley that week. Leicester's previous league fixture was a 4-1 win at West Brom, and Riyad Mahrez has two goals and an assist in the past two league games. Jamie Vardy also scored a goal against West Brom, scored against Chelsea in the FA Cup two weeks ago, and then scored for England against Italy on Tuesday.
Leicester play at Brighton this Saturday (10 a.m. ET), and their next five games are against non-"Big Six" opposition. I've already got Mahrez (8.9 million pounds) on my roster, and am strongly considering picking up Vardy (8.8 million) as well.
The specialist: Luka Milivojevic scored yet another goal from the penalty spot in Crystal Palace's 2-0 win at Huddersfield Town in Gameweek 31. He's up to eight league goals on the season now, and still will only cost you 4.9 million pounds.
Palace play Liverpool on Saturday, which obviously isn't a favorable matchup. But that's their last game against a "Big Six" club this season. If you're using your wild card this week, or just looking for a cheap fifth midfielder for the home stretch, Milivojevic is a great option.
Keeper change? Nick Pope has been between the sticks for Burnley since Gameweek 4, and has delivered -- he's third among all goalkeepers with 131 FPL points this season. But Tom Heaton completed a fourth 90-minute outing for Burnley's Under-23s earlier this week, in his comeback from shoulder surgery, and said he's ready to return to the first team.
We'll see if manager Sean Dyche agrees. But Heaton is the club captain, making it more likely Dyche will plug him back in before the end of the season. Pope is currently on 10.2 percent of FPL rosters, but he's now a big risk.
Not so bright? There's no denying Brighton's Pascal Gross (6.0 million pounds) and Glenn Murray have been major bargains this season. Gross has five goals, eight assists, and 135 FPL points, which is 11th among all midfielders. Murray (same price) has 11 goals, and 99 FPL points -- tied for eighth among all forwards.
Gross is already on 17.1 percent of rosters, and Murray has been the ninth-most transferred in player so far this week -- no doubt in part because Brighton plays twice in Gameweek 34, and will have another double gameweek before the end of the season.
But Brighton don't have a fixture in Gameweek 35, and four of their final eight opponents are Spurs (home), Man United (home), Liverpool (away) and Man City (away). Each of their double gameweeks will feature one of those tough opponents, and the second double gameweek will probably feature two of them. Brighton's dynamic duo are not as good a deal as you might think.
