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.

    Vardy will get nothing tonight, last week I played FH so he wasnt in my team and got a brace, this week he returns. So guaranteed blank

  3. Niho992

    Another Puli goal incoming

  4. Greek Freak

    Sarr is a hard worker - stoppage time with his team up and he's still busting a gut to chase the ball before the defenders. Too bad nobody's in support of course.

    1. Bruce Lee
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 19 days ago

      He was linked with arsenal... he needs to play for a better team

      1. Greek Freak
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 19 days ago

        He'd be great at Arsenal, though there's a lot of competition from young guys like Saka etc.

        1. Bruce Lee
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 19 days ago

          Leicester would be great for him... good level of competition but he won't be dropped/rotated for seemingly no reason like he would at Arsenal

          1. Greek Freak
            • 10 Years
            6 years, 19 days ago

            Now that I think about it a team like Everton could still use him. Not sure Iwobi would be much competition.

    2. Greek Freak
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 19 days ago

      He's not really a good FPL asset now the way Watford are playing, but he's got both the skills and the work ethic - I'd be very surprised if he doesn't become very good, very soon.

      One man show, thanks for the points.

    Michael Oliver in charge of Spurs v Arsenal. I'm sure that will go well after Jose's comments after his amazing VAR performance recently

    Shame I started Tammy last week and not this week. Epic Fail.
    Improves his chances of starting against Sheffield or Norwich 3 days later perhaps!? Could still work out
