The Fantasy focus is on Chelsea in the opening round of Gameweek 34+ matches as they travel to face Crystal Palace.

Willian (£7.2m) and Christian Pulisic (£7.2m) have both received plenty of transfer attention in recent weeks having returned points in each of their last three matches.

The Brazilian has dispatched a penalty in each of those, registering two double-digit hauls and averaging 11 points per game.

Pulisic has been a little less explosive, earning Fantasy assists for being fouled in each of the last three, making for an average of seven points per game.

As has been usual since the Premier League resumed, the two players flank Olivier Giroud (£6.6m) in Chelsea’s front-three, who scored in the 3-0 win over Watford.

Of particular interest is a start for Billy Gilmour (£4.3m) in Chelsea’s midfield, although it is only his second of the season and first since Gameweek 29.

Roy Hodgson’s Crystal Palace contains fewer points of interest for Fantasy managers, with Jordan Ayew (£5.2m) and Wilfried Zaha (£6.6m) deployed either side of Christian Benteke (£5.7m) in attack.

Meanwhile, Watford host Norwich in what appears to be one of Gameweek 34+’s “gimme” fixtures.

The Canaries have been shipping goals since the Premier League restart and are yet to score.

There will be some interest in Craig Dawson (£4.8m) who has registered the joint-highest number of shots in the box of any defender over the last four matches, his total of seven more than any Watford player too.

There is a rare start for Danny Welbeck (£5.8m) on the flanks of the attack while Troy Deeney (£6.2m) holds down his centre-forward role.

Full Line-Ups

Crystal Palace XI: Guaita; van Aanholt, Dann, Cahill, J Ward; McArthur, Milivojevic, Kouyaté; Ayew, Benteke, Zaha.

Chelsea XI: Arrizabalaga; Azpilicueta, Zouma, Christensen, R James; Gilmour, Barkley, Mount; Pulisic, Giroud, Willian.

Watford XI: Foster; Masina, Dawson, Kabasele, Femenía; Hughes, Capoue; Welbeck, Doucouré, Sarr; Deeney.

Norwich City XI: Krul; Lewis, Klose, Godfrey, Aarons; Tettey, Vrancic; O Hernández, Stiepermann, Buendía; Pukki.

    2 FT so looking at Rashford and DCL > Greenwood and Vardy, looks good ? Then vardy or mane captain

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 19 days ago

      Yes, looks good to me

  7. davies
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 19 days ago

    Nketiah or Iheanacho as bench fodder?

  8. GOTHAM City F.C.
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 19 days ago

    All rivals capped KDB, im on Kane. This will be straightforward.

    1. Aftermath
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 19 days ago

      Same situation here, all or nothing

    2. Shark Team
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 19 days ago

      Why not TAA (C)?

      1. GOTHAM City F.C.
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 19 days ago

        Your screams earlier scared me off a bit.

      Salah hattie is just late one week.

      1. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 19 days ago

        Hasn’t had 3 away goals all season, no chance.

        1. Amey
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 19 days ago

          Too realistic !

    2. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years

    1. GOTHAM City F.C.
      • 9 Years

      Was there anyone higher than 161.59% before?

      1. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 19 days ago

        Salah had 180%s in his first season with Liverpool.

        1. GOTHAM City F.C.
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 19 days ago

          Would be tough watch this week for non KDB teams, hanging around here would be a nightmare.

    2. Tempestic
      • 8 Years

      That KDB EO is crazy

      1. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 19 days ago

    3. Aftermath

    Good luck to all this Gameweek, especially those who have had back-to-back rank drops like me! I've gone out on a limb for Deeney and brought in Mahrez this week.

    DDG (avl)
    TAA (bha) - Doherty (shu) - Saiss (shu)
    Mahrez (NEW) - KDB C (NEW) - Salah (bha) - Fernandes vc (avl)
    Jimi (shu) - Greenwood (avl) - Deeney (NOR)

    1. beric

      Lovely, good luck to you. I've welcomed back Digne after a very long absence

  13. Brosstan

  14. DAZZ
    • 12 Years

    I’ve gone with Mahrez KDB (C) and Foden. Please Pep, hope to god Mahrez starts

    1. Amey
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 19 days ago

      He will ...
      He has to ...

  15. Amey
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 19 days ago

    Can't wait to sell Kane already after getting him this GW 😀
    Vardy Party Calling ....

  16. Kaiser123
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 19 days ago

    Brought in Kane, but didn’t cap him as ML rival has. I’ve capped KDB. This comes through for me and he’s done for.

  17. Up the tics
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 19 days ago

    My sterling (c) makes me a little sick after seeing Bruno and Kevs EO well above 100%

    1. Sandy Ravage
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 19 days ago

      you'll be fine, just breathe

      1. Up the tics
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 19 days ago

        Hope so my friend. I hate how I have to pray for blanks of two players i own

    2. Amey
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 19 days ago

      Watching what others are doing isn't good .... 🙂

  18. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 19 days ago

    Is a Palace goal to much to ask?

    1. Amey
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 19 days ago

      Nope

    2. GOTHAM City F.C.
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 19 days ago

      Mili getting a penalty

    3. Firminooooo
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 19 days ago

      Pulisic own goal.

  19. lordkippe
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 19 days ago

    Please Pulisic get something

  20. My name is an echo
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 19 days ago

    Forgot to confirm BB. Let’s hope it’s a blessing in disguise

    1. Tinkermania
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 19 days ago

      Watch Deeney score a brace and Kiko assist 😉

  21. Fishy
    • 17 Years
    6 years, 19 days ago

    Kane after many 90 mins will be on the bench resting for the arsenal game

    1. Amey
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 19 days ago

      Username checks

    2. Firminooooo
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 19 days ago

      I brought in Parrott(C) -8 because of this.

  22. pundit of punts
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 19 days ago

    James and Kiko playing tonight. 😀

  23. TomSaints
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 19 days ago

    I have no players tonight. =[

  24. Hulk Smash
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 19 days ago

    PSA to let you all know KDB and Kane will haul this week, while Bruno will finally blank. The reason is I was set on KDB (c) all week, until I made a last minute swap in defiance of my gut to Bruno (c) to block my rival. However, like an absolute weapon, I completely forgot my rival had Kane, whom he has obviously captained against Bournemouth.

    1. GOTHAM City F.C.
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 19 days ago

      Hulk smashed.

    2. Mr. O'Connell
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 19 days ago

      Brought in Bruno (finally) and capped him over KDB. Haven't had a captain goal since Feb (GW25).

      1. Hulk Smash
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 19 days ago

        Brutal. I'll settle for 3 assists though.

  25. Tcheco
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 19 days ago

    Palace Chelsea 0-0

    1. Tempestic
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 19 days ago

      1-1 will do

  26. tucaoneo
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 19 days ago

    OR 1's transfers... Lundstram > Dunk, Nyland > Martin. Both on the bench 😮

    1. GOTHAM City F.C.
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 19 days ago

      Boring moves, probably not chasing

    2. Forza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 19 days ago

      His rank history: 2730831, 3492095, 4271045, 1337374

      Damn jammy casuals...

      1. Forza
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 19 days ago

        He's probably playing FH next week and wants to dump his extra FT before losing it. He'll have Dunk back after Brighton play City.

        1. tucaoneo
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 19 days ago

          Hmm good point.

      2. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 19 days ago

        Noticed that aswell

    3. Firminooooo
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 19 days ago

      He will not finish nr 1 OR throwing away FT like that.

  27. gers23
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 19 days ago

    Much in this you think?

    A) Maguire, Kdb, Jiminez, Auba

    B) Azpi, Bruno, Pogba, Kane

  28. Nightcrawler

    2. Amey

      Ask Troy to do it

  30. beric
