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.

    Crazy game

    • 7 Years

    Yee-ha!

  3. Babelcopter

    Palace post! Man Utd so unlucky!

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

      You mean lucky!

  4. FPL Daniel

    My blood pressure went through the rough. Shambolic display in defense. With Kepa in goal nothing is certain

    1. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 19 days ago

      Need a whole new back line outside of Reece

    2. JJO
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 19 days ago

      Well he saved that last chance

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 17 Years
        6 years, 19 days ago

        Azpi has couple of seasons in him left. Everyone else needs to be upgraded

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

    Great game.

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

      Indeed

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 19 days ago

      This

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

      Totally!

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

    Azpi fail.

  7. FPL Daniel
    • 17 Years
    6 years, 19 days ago

    We were lucky

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

      Very very very lucky

  8. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 19 days ago

    YES Kiko, was fearing the worst after the Norwich goal in 4 mins but you held on. Well done!

    1. Champions League Varane
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 19 days ago

      For 2 singular points?

      1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 19 days ago

        I thought it was going to be minus points, I seem to have that effect as a buyer of defenders

    2. Nomar
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 19 days ago

      Yes, delightful 2 points.

      This is what we've become reduced to.....

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

        It's the same as Sterling and Mahrez combined!

    3. HashAttack
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 19 days ago

      Held on? ... no additional saves for Foster 🙁

    4. the snazzy viking
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 19 days ago

      highest return for my third defender in 4 weeks, get in

      1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 19 days ago

        Exactly this

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

    Chelsea without Kanté are not a team u want to invest in defensively

  10. WVA
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 19 days ago

    Townsend is terrible

  11. DandyDon
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 19 days ago

    Worried Chelsea defence owners

  12. JJO
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 19 days ago

    Best game from restart
    By far

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

      Great

    2. HashAttack
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 19 days ago

      True - almost like a normal game

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

      All the Chelsea matches. Hasnt been a bad one.

  13. Collie01
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 19 days ago

    Benteke gave Christensen an absolute horrid time in that 2nd half

    1. Athletic Nasherbo
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 19 days ago

      Christensen is weak. Chelsea fan here and have never rated him gets bullied way too often and easily.

  14. Niho992
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 19 days ago

    Pulisic could have about 15+ points easily today

  15. df34
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 19 days ago

    Stop showing replays when the live game is on Sky Sports, so annoyin!!!!!!!!!!! Missed that chance at the end

  16. HashAttack
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 19 days ago

    How does dropping Alonso help ... they might as well play him

  17. FPL_DON
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 19 days ago

    Pulisic to get 3 baps? Surely the fact he scored and Willian didn't.... straws are being clutched

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

    Norwich might get relegated you know.

    1. Nomar
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 19 days ago

      Great escape coming in......................................................................................................................... Oh, wait..

  19. Hughes Your Daddy
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 19 days ago

    Pity not to get a draw, but a great performance from the lads. Played much better than the last few games.

  20. FPL Daniel
    • 17 Years
    6 years, 19 days ago

    Kepa again only 1 save

    1. Athletic Nasherbo
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 19 days ago

      Saved us there though. He’s so bad can’t wait until he’s gone.

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

      Kepa for 72m is a daylight robbery

      1. Athletic Nasherbo
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 19 days ago

        Had a good first season.

        1. FPL Daniel
          • 17 Years
          6 years, 19 days ago

          Naaah. He is huge liability

          1. Athletic Nasherbo
            • 9 Years
            6 years, 19 days ago

            At no point did I say he’s not, in fact I commented on this page saying he’s bad. But he was good first season.

  23. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 19 days ago

    Looks like Willian 3
    Pulisic 2
    PVA 1

    Willian ahead by some distance

    1. Athletic Nasherbo
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 19 days ago

      Creates so many chances

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

    Ok FPL site, it s time to announce another Pulisic goal

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 19 days ago

      Juhu

  26. Athletic Nasherbo
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 19 days ago

    That Zaha goal changed the game, felt like it could have been a thumping. I’ll still take my points considering I’m a Willian and Pulisic owner...;)

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

      Oof very nice!

    2. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 19 days ago

      That disguised brag. Nice.

      1. Athletic Nasherbo
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 19 days ago

        Cheers. Yeah was a little bit;) felt at 2-0 could have had a lot more!

  27. Champions League Varane
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 19 days ago

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

      One with better ppg since restart

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

        And the one on set pieces and playing for a lovely new contract

    2. the snazzy viking

    2. FPL_DON
      • 11 Years

    3. g40steve

    4. Athletic Nasherbo
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 19 days ago

  29. FPL_DON
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 19 days ago

    5 Midfielders isn't enough, so so many options

  30. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
