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.

    Did that deflect off the palace defender or Pulisic? Could swear I saw some sort of a touch lol. Not biased or anything

  5. Squib
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 19 days ago

    Pulisic goal surely

  6. Cheeto__Bandito

    3.87% of top 10k have KDB, Foden, Mahrez. Cmon lads.

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 19 days ago

      That 3.87% are going to be crying tears of sadness after the Man City game.

  14. JohnnyCroat
    • 11 Years

    Always nice to jump 1000 places just by virtue of having zero players in the first two games 😀
    KdB the most captained for the week so I'm not gaining much there, but hopefully some others were forced to look elsewhere and I gain ground. Top 100K was a wild target, now it's Top 50K.

  15. FPL_Devil

    Pulisic goal?

    Nice to see FPL being as inconsistent as ever with their rulings. So frustrating.

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years

    6 years, 19 days ago

    What the hell! People brought in Dawson and he scored! If I had brought him in he would have been red carded by now.

  23. GuillermoDickero
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 19 days ago

    Went Femenia over Dawson - saying that I would have benched him. Great punt from the picks!

  24. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 19 days ago

    Shouldve put Pulisic in there instead of passing to Barkley

  25. denial
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 17 Years

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

      the Kiko/Lascelles rotation has failed miserably

      I need to buy a premium defender asap

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

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 14 Years

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

    Chances of a Kiko attaching return?

    Now that their clean sheet has been shockingly and surprisingly wiped by Norwich in the first 5 minutes!

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

    Pulisic been given the goal yet?

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

      Won't be given
