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

1,148 Comments

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.

      I probably would risk it......

      Spurs are unlikely to "thrash" Brentford as they seem to have picked up a bit of form and aren't too bad at the back.

      Ronaldo has 2 games but what kind of state of mind is he in.
      I would.imagine he plays both as their attacking options aren't up to much.

    Matip (EVE) - have Trent, Everton to nab one in the derby
