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.

    1. Scholes Out For Summer

      Perfect for a counter attack goal

    2. The Suspended One

      The crowd will really carry them through

      3-1. Palace can’t finish and Chelsea will get a counter.

    Need Tekkers to score.
    Could really do with a giggle.

    Magic bean on vs parent club.

    Chelsea ban inc.

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

    Shame for Arsenal that Cedric needs his rest. He was very good last game and should start before Bellerin if fit.

  6. Karan_G14
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 19 days ago

    Going to need atleast 1 Chelsea attacker for Norwich at home in 36.

    But I'd have to sell him stright after as their fixtures aren't great in 37-38 (liv, WOL).

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

      Worth if we get confirmation from Rockstar that GW.

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

        Would only fet puli if he is confirmed startong

      2. Karan_G14
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 19 days ago

        Yup I'm looking at Oli.G if he starts.

    2. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years

      Pulisi(c)

    3. Van der Faart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Will depend on if there is anything to play for too, FA cup too.

      1. Karan_G14
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 19 days ago

        Top 4 race will definitely be on.
        Also Chelsea have 4 days rest before FA Cup.

    4. Zilla
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 19 days ago

      City vs BOU that GW so probably won't captain

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

        That close to Arsenal? Who’ll start?

      2. Karan_G14
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 19 days ago

        For me to captain a City player that week he'd have to be rested in 35. Very risky given the FA Cup Semi for them.

  7. Canary_Kid
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 19 days ago

    Triple Man City attack looks like the way to go with the run in vs Bournemouth and Norwich. Likely using TC on KDB in one of those games as well.

  8. Pep Roulette
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 19 days ago

    Which one is better?

    A. Salah & Nketiah to Antonio & Vardy(C).

    B. Foden & Stevens to Antonio & 4.5 defender.

      Let us go for a piss or open a can.

    7. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 19 days ago

      I think the breaks are meant to protect the players from injury. I would assume they have nothing to do with the hydration and more to do with the pause in play. Would love to hear from a qualified physio though.
