The Premier League returns with West Ham hosting Wolves in Friday's evening kickoff, while Fantasy Premier League managers scramble for injury updates ahead of gameweek 33. West Ham's Nuno Espirito Santo confirmed Crysencio Summerville, Jean-Clair Todibo, and Callum Wilson are improving and could feature, while Aaron Wan-Bissaka returns after DR Congo's refusal to release him for the FA Cup. Wolves face defensive concerns with Matt Doherty sidelined by a 'niggle' and goalkeeper Sam Johnstone potentially out for the season with a shoulder issue.

FPL managers should note El Hadji Malick Diouf's four clean sheets since gameweek 25 make him the top-scoring defender, while Jarrod Bowen's three assists and eight chances created in four home matches highlight his attacking threat. Joao Gomes has emerged as Wolves' best midfield option with 8.0 points-per-start average, contributing a goal, two assists, and five bonus points recently. The injury list remains extensive across the league, with Burnley's Scott Parker missing Zeki Amdouni, Jordan Beyer, and several others, while Liverpool's Arne Slot confirmed Alisson's absence but hinted at his imminent return.

Key fixtures include Arsenal's clash with Bournemouth, where Gabriel Magalhaes leads all players with 91 points since gameweek 19, and Chelsea's meeting with Manchester City featuring Cole Palmer's 15 shots in four home matches. With Manchester City's Antoine Semenyo boasting 21 attacking returns this season, FPL managers face crucial decisions ahead of double gameweek 33.
