Probable first XI selections for matchday 33 of the 2022-2023 La Liga season
The analysis examines the most likely starting lineups for the 10 games scheduled on matchday 33, played over four days in late spring. The fixtures run from Tuesday, May 2 to Thursday, May 4, with a packed schedule that keeps players in high demand across fantasy formats like Fantasy Kickbase. A special event is noted during the same week, as the Copa del Rey final is set for the weekend ahead. As a result, the Tuesday matches feature Barcelona against Osasuna and Real Sociedad against Real Madrid as the semi-finalists prepare for domestic cup glory.
Midweek sees three more fixtures on Wednesday, including Atletico Madrid versus Cadiz. Thursday closes with four more matches, culminating in a marquee clash between Athletic Club Bilbao and Real Betis. This sprint of fixtures is a reminder that fantasy managers must weigh form, rotation risk, and fixture congestion when selecting players for different platforms such as Fantasy, Comunio, and Biwenger.
