Scout Picks

FPL Gameweek 34 Scout Picks: City and Chelsea triple-ups as United are ignored

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.

    Rudiger Kane Kulu out
    Trent Havertz Werner in for -8

    Worth it considering it sets up the rest of the run in? Free hit 37 available

      Do you own Son? I like it but I think one Spurs is a good idea.

  2. Muscout

    BB36 FH37

    Have James Rud Coady in Def and Havertz

    Rudiger to Alonso?

    Is it stupid to get Grealish on WC this weekend and then transfer out to Foden next week?

    1. Feed tha Sheep
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Wouldn’t be keen on it

    2. Il Capitano
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Not a massive fan of booking in transfers on the WC

    3. ZimZalabim
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      not enough upside for this one grealish 2 goals 2 assists all season

      plan is fine player is not imo

    4. Simon69
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Get Sterling.

  4. AF90
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Rudiger, Doherty & Maddison -> James, Laporte & Havertz -8?

  5. Il Capitano
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    0FT 0.8m ITB - BB36

    Ramsdale
    TAA Robbo Cancelo Laporte
    Salah (C) Saka Raph Kulu
    Kane Pukki

    Foster - Ramsey Doherty* Cucho*

    Doherty > Alonso -4?

  6. Vjm6891
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Young is definitely going to play for Villa while Digne is out?

    Or do they have another option t left back?

    1. Feed tha Sheep
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Someone mentioned a youngster getting a bit of game time but young should start most I would think

  7. pressdpm
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    With Nketiah's goals we can be pretty certain Martinelli doesn't start right?

    1. Mr. Mystic
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah I think Eddie starts

    2. Herger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I don’t think the two are necessarily related. I’d expect Nketiah to start but doesn’t mean I think Martinelli won’t

    3. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      It's ESR resurgence again threatening his spot on the wings, not Eddie.

      Yeah thinking he'll be benched again somehow

  8. Hansel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    A) Raphinha + Werner (C)
    B) Mount (C) + Pukki

    1. Rash

    • 10 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

  10. Rash
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Looking for some advice please.. Been toying with different moves all day and can't seem to settle on anything..

    Current team

    Pope
    Trent cancelo schar saiss

  12. Peekay
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Start one

    a) C. Taylor (vs Wolves)
    b) Anthony Gordon (vs Liverpool)

    1. Vjm6891
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Taylor.....

      Only because Everton shouldn't get a sniff out of Liverpool really.

  13. tbhogal
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Final call guys

    Doherty to Alonso or James ??

    1. Green Arrow
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Depends on your plan for the extra money

      1. tbhogal
        • 15 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Probably Laporte or Robbo in to beef up the defence

        1. Green Arrow
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Then Alonso

          1. tbhogal
            • 15 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            Thanks green arrow !

    2. MGMT
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Alonso

  14. Munny Man
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    I have my wild card and free hit left. What are the best game weeks to play these?

    1. Vjm6891
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Gotta be the dgws of 36 and 37

  15. George James
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Bench one

    A) Weghorst

    B) Davies

    1. jack88
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Dav

  16. More Cowbell
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    How do people feel about transferring out either Son or Kane for a -4 to get
    a Chelsea asset?

    Feel like I have too much value locked up in those two and can better spread the £££ leading into DGW36

    1. Rash
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I'm struggling to let them go

      1. More Cowbell
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Same, feels ridiculous with Brentford this week and a double in 36 (albeit not the best one)

        1. Rash
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          I have the triple up though so could sacrifice kulu for mount -4?

        2. JabbaWookiee
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          I had zero Chelsea (Rudiger only) and the 3 Spurs attackers so have sacrificed Kane to get Werner and Mount and some spare cash which could come in very handy. Could easily come back to bite me but got them locked on now for the run-in with the two DGWs. Worth it imo.

          1. camarozz
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            Wat did u do with Rudiger?

            1. JabbaWookiee
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 10 Years
              2 years, 6 months ago

              Benched for now. Not lost any value on him yet.

      2. camarozz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Same here, only got Son last wk aswell.

        Can't afford to upgrade Barnes so atm no Chelsea attack.

        And need to figure out wat to do with Rudiger yet tonight

  17. Mr. Mystic
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Mane, KDB or Sterling?

    1. jason_ni
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      For season, on a fh? Different answers!

      Sterling one gw punt.
      Kdb for the season

      1. Mr. Mystic
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        I’m on wildcard. I really like mane as a differential , but only have Cancelo atm…

        1. jason_ni
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Its the Liverpool options, there are 2 many of them now, for me to make me pick anyone other than salah.

          They are all great, if we knew they would play. Jota Diaz Bobby mane, all.seem.to be interchangeable

          1. Mr. Mystic
            • 13 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            True. But you can say the same for city and pep roulette. I genuinely think the Everton game has more goals in it than Watford…

  18. jason_ni
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    On a wc,

    A) son in now for the season
    B) sterling for this gw ( maybe next and reasses for son later)

    No other city attack and have kulu.

    Evening all,
    Stuck on a final free hit decision and would appreciate a bit of help on below choice.
    1. De Gea and Mane
    2. Foster and Salah
    Cheers

    2. Green Arrow
      • 12 Years

      Don't like DDG. Prefer other GKs for that value

      1. shredder
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        I know, just fit the budget exactly with Mane.
        Going for a mid of Mane, Son, Sterling, Havertz, Mount (C)

  20. TeddiPonza
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Pick two on wilcard for BB in 36

    Nketiah

    Start 2 please

    A. Weghorst (WOL)
    B. Mateta (LEE)
    C. Schar (nor)
    D. Martinelli (MUN)

    1. Green Arrow
      • 12 Years

      B & C

    2. jason_ni
      • 8 Years

      B C for me as well.

    3. JabbaWookiee
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      B, C

  22. Green Arrow
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Just for this week:
    A) Havertz(C), Salah and Roberts
    B) Salah(C), Saka and Alonso

    1. ShackledAce
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      A

    2. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      B

    3. ZimZalabim
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      B

  23. ShackledAce
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    On WC, BB36:

    A) KDB, Eroyal, Gordon

    B) Mahrez, Laporte, Saka

  24. LLoris
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Cant decide
    A) Saiss Broja for Alonso Dobbin
    B) Saiss Raph for Cancelo Delph
    C) Saiss Son for Cancelo Havertz/Mount

    1. Rog.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I’d probably do A with no bench boost

  25. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Potentially have an issue if Nketiah rises tonight & I don't go for him.

    He's more for BB36 than anything, and I'd rather have just watched how tomorrow's match went - problem is I don't known if I'm convinced he's a worthwhile pick.

    Inxluding this, I have 3 FT to use before BB36 (with Cucho & Doherty to fix).

    Could have more funds available by moving James to Laporte after GW34, so might be premature.

    Worth making the move?

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Hold imo

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Because?

  26. Rog.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    BB 36, WC decision down to:

    A) Mount, Sterling, Cash, 4.5 (2FTs would be Sterling + 4.5 to Pukki and Foden for 36)

    B) Havertz, Foden, Laporte, Pukki

    A feels risky but potential for a Sterling haul. B is pretty much set up for 36 and has Havertz who I think is probably the best captain this week.

    1. Fantasy Pig
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      B for me. Agree Havertz C too!

  27. FPLMACKEM
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Please rate my WC team?

    Schmeichel
    TAA, Cancelo, Laporte, James
    Salah (c) Mount, Saka, Sterling
    Werner, Pukki

    Matthews, Royal, Dewsbury Hall, Dobbin

  28. Fantasy Pig
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    WC set…. Bench order correct?

    Schmeichel
    TAA Cancelo Laporte Alonso
    Salah Havertz Mount Kulu Elanga
    Kane

    Foster Watkins Royal Nketiah

  29. Green Jumper
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Have already done Reguilon > Matip and Maddison > Mount for -4. Thinking of extras to make a WC: Bowen > Barnes, Antonio > Watkins and possibly Sanchez > Guaita, all with 1-2 extra games. Still have my BB remaining, but not the FH.

  30. FPL_Crisis
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Just trying to chase the upside for rank. I’m about 45 points from 100k

    Is there enough upside to sell Kane + Kulu/Maddison this week for Sterling + Werner?

    Would probably look to get Kane back for 35 captaincy. BB36 FH37
