We have chosen our best Fantasy Premier League (FPL) players for Gameweek 34 ahead of Saturday’s deadline.

We line up in a 4-3-3 formation and are limited to £83.5m for our first XI.

Our four substitutes, meanwhile, are always picked from the budget/cheaper crop of players, not to serve as bench fodder but to give some alternative options who don’t cost as much as some of the names in our line-up.

GOALKEEPER

The best FPL goalkeepers for a Double Gameweek 26 Free Hit 7

Burnley have given us a mixed bag when it comes to Double Gameweek returns this season but they signed off on a high on Thursday, winning to nil against Southampton. Fabled or not, the ‘new manager bounce’ has seen the Clarets pick up four points from a possible six in the post-Dychean era and there was a spring in their step against the Saints. Sunday’s opponents Wolves will be without Daniel Podence (£5.5m), arguably their only form player in attack and a quiet creative force in 2021/22. They were abject without him in Gameweek 32, indeed, so Nick Pope (£5.4m) will fancy his chances of successive shut-outs on Sunday.

DEFENDERS

→ How many FPL points did Aymeric Laporte register across Manchester City's three Double Gameweeks?

After weeks of Fabian Schar (£4.4m)-types making an appearance at the rear, we’re back to a reassuringly premium feel in defence.

    On a WC but plan to BB36/37;

    A) Alonso & Watkins
    B) Davies & Werner

    Would mean triple Chelsea attack in Mount, Havertz and Werner if I go with B though.

    1. frenchfries
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      A

    2. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      B for me.

      1. Super Sharpe Shooter
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Werner has the most potential to explode at the moment, so it's B for me, but both A and B are good long term picks

  2. frenchfries
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Ramsdale
    Rudiger* Cancelo TAA
    Salah Saka Coutinho Raphinha Kulu
    Kane Broja

    Foster Doherty** Amartey Gelhardt

    1ft 1.4itb

    A) Raphinha -> Mount
    B) Doherty -> Alonso
    C) Raphinha+Rudiger -> Mount+Alonso (-4)

    1. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      C.

  3. _Gunner
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    So, Mount or Havertz?

    1. frenchfries
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I would pick Mount regardless of price

    2. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Mount long term. Havertz this week. Minute's maybe an issue for Mount.

      1. Super Sharpe Shooter
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        I've gone for both, prob just for this week

  4. Buck The Trent
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    If on WC would you punt Sterling for 1 week vs WAT, then move to Son in GW35? Or just get and keep Son (I’m chasing)

    1. :
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I'm a Horses for Courses man and I wish I could afford Sterling this week. He's an excellent opportunity for someone who's chasing imo.

      1. Buck The Trent
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah, might as well while I am on WC. Will then use FT the following week to move him for Son

        1. Super Sharpe Shooter
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Sterling has burnt me so many times that I just can't bring myself to go through it again! But agree he looks good for this GW

    2. Alcapaul
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Sterling punt looks good this week

  5. dshv

    4 years, 1 month ago

    What to change WC BB36 fh37

    Casper Foster
    Taa Cancelo Robbo Alonso Cash
    Salah Son Mount Havertz Kulusevski
    Nketiah Pukki Dennis

    0.6 itb

  6. Bob B
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    A. Play Rudiger
    B. Play White (MUN)
    C. Play Broja (bha)
    D. Play Dewsbury-Hall (AVL)
    E. (-4) for Laporte
    F. (-4) for Alonso

    1. Bobby Crush
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      e long term

      b or c short term

  7. Forever In Our Shadow
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Hi guys. I have a dilemma.

    A - Ramsey to Havertz -4
    B - Ramsey/Weghorst to Sterling/4.5 fodder -8

    1 FH left. Team is currently after Bruno to Mount;

    Schmeichel
    TAA James Cancelo Emerson R
    Salah Barnes Mount Saka Ramsey*
    Kane

    Foster Broja Armartey Weghorst**

    Cheers and good luck.

  8. :
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Mason Mount & Reece James have the same amount of PPG 😯

    1. Bob B
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      James captain it is

  9. EL_FENOMENO
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    a) Salah (c)
    b) Mount (c)

    1. Bobby Crush
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      tough

      go with your gut

  10. Neo-Viper
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    *REPOST*
    *NOREPLY*

    Schar Madds Toney
    TO
    Alonso Havertz Pukki

    Worth a double hit?

    1. _Make
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I'd say so

    2. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      All day long.

  11. Bobby Crush
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Capo?

    a) Mount
    b) Mane
    c) another
    d) KDB

    1. Fantasy Pig
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Mount feels safer (security of the double) however KDB will be ultra differential if you like to play the game like that.

      1. Bobby Crush
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Am chasing, but KDB might be rested, coming on only if needed.
        Bit too much risk with the CL next week.

    2. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Mane is a great shout if chasing. Looks bang in form.

      1. Fantasy Pig
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Agree with this if you are worried KDB gets rested!

  12. Fantasy Pig
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Need some help please! Really stuck on which combination is better to complete my WC?

    a) Robertson + Havertz + Watkins

    b) Cancelo + Saka + Werner

    The WC team looks like this:

    Schmeichel Foster
    TAA xxx Alonso Laporte Royal
    Salah Mount xxx Kulu Elanga
    Kane xxx Nketiah

    Thanks!

    1. liiusions
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      B because Cancelo

    2. Bobby Crush
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      b, as you have TAA and Mount already

    3. Taegugk Warrior
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      B

  13. damiang2233
    • 16 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Is this worth a -8?
    James, Mount and Toney for Rudigeur, Bowen and Antonio.
    Thoughts?

  14. liiusions
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    A) Alonso and TAA
    B) James and Robbo

  15. Scots Gooner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    VVD/Sterling or Matip/KDB?

  16. Big Ronnie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Sterling this week then move to KDB or just get KDB this week? Or Son.

  17. sergioaguero67
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    How much of a rotation risk is Marcos Alonso, in this Double?
    Given half of the Chelsea defence is injured
    Good punt for captain?
    Please help

  18. TSILIKAFENEIAKOS
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Only way to get Salah is to do :

    Son + TAA -> Salah + James

    would you do it?

  19. palace ash
    • 16 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    How many minutes does Chalobah get in GW34?

  20. Drogba Legend
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Sa
    Cancelo - Laporte - James - Robbo
    Salah - Son - James - Maddison - Kulu
    Wood

    Foster - Weg - Broja - Digne**

    A) Kulu + Wood > Mount + Pukki (-4)
    B) Kulu + Son > Havertz and Mount (-4)
    C) Something else??

    1. Vjm6891
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Newcastle.playing Norwich so do you really want Wood out?

      Can you do digne to someone cheap then use the extra funds for.mount or Havertz?

  21. King Kun Ta
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Kane dropping tonight?

    1. palace ash
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Probably, but could be the wildcard swing.

  22. Rog.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Do we think foden starts? Would like him on WC but worried about minutes

    1. Jimmy Boy
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I've got him, but think he's a don't-buy-don't-sell this week

  23. FPLMACKEM
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Please rate my WC team?

    Schmeichel
    TAA, Cancelo, Robertson, Laporte, James
    Salah (c) Mount, Saka, Foden
    Werner

    Matthews, Pukki, Dewsbury Hall, Dobbin

    Have exact funds for this.

    1. PartyTime
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      6/10

      1. FPLMACKEM
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Could you improve it?

        1. PartyTime
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          It depends on your current budget. It looks fine for this gw if Foden starts but not fine after this gw imo. Would downgrade Werner, Robertson & maybe Foden(rotation) then get a Leicester midfielder(for dgw 36&37) & a Spurs attacker too

      2. PartyTime
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        *only because you might need Spurs cover pretty soon & foden isn’t even nailed for this gw imo

        1. FPLMACKEM
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Thats a fair point. I could alternatively do Robbo, Foden and Werner to Matip, Son/kulu and Watkins/werner. How does that sound?

    2. MrZ
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      James to alonso
      Foden to zaha

  24. beans and sausages
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    I’ve gone mental and done a mini wildcard for the run in.

    Doherty, Raphina, Gabriel, Fraser and Lacazette

    -12 for

    Alonso, Mount, Havertz, Laporte and Gelhardt

    Currently 150k

    1. Vjm6891
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah do it. I'm thinking of a minus 12 too haha

      Already done mount and mateta for laca and cornet

      I'm definitely doing Havertz for Saka/Barnes

      The others is young for Doherty and rudiger to alonso?

      1. beans and sausages
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Got to be in to win it

    2. PartyTime
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Don’t tempt me please! I’m addicted to hits, been sober for a while now but here you are with this post!

  25. Jimmy Boy

    Have it down to these 3....

    Any thoughts? All have their benefits but tricky to decide on the final one. WC this week BB in 36.

    1. palace ash
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Remove the constant guys and ask again

      Casper Foster
      Alonso TAA Cancelo Laporte
      KdB Mount Salah
      Pukki

    2. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      A, by far the best BB squad. Other two are more like FH's.

    3. Clintymints
      • 17 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Basically yep, common dudes but it all varies when you look at it as a whole

      Kinda like A atm. could also swap KdB for Sterling/Son?

  28. Mr.SHaMBLes
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    On FH, any changes needed?

    Sanchez
    Cancelo E Royal Tsimikas Alonso
    Jota Havertz KDB Sterling Salah
    Werner

    Steele Burn Gelhardt Greenwood

  29. villain27

    *Repost*

    WC draft, any thoughts appreciated.

    Schmeichel/Foster
    TAA/Cancelo/Laporte/Alonso/Davies
    Salah/Mount/Zaha/Maddison/Gordon
    Werner/Watkins/Pukki

    Zaha could be B Silva, but more a one week punt to become likely coutinho/saka

  30. Taegugk Warrior
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    For -4.
    A. Broja to mateta
    B. Weghorst to pukki
    C. Not for -4. Just play either broja or Weg

    1. Vjm6891
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Not for -4. I'd go with what you have.
