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.

    Feel like these Chelsea performances will be season defining for me. Just hoping Tuchel appreciates that his best attacker needs to get back to RWB .

    1. Simon69
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Very appropriate top comment.

  2. NABIL - FPL otai

    Start 2 please
    A. Weghorst (WOL)
    B. Mateta (LEE)
    C. Schar (nor)
    D. Martinelli (MUN)

    1. lilmessipran

    4. Thomas Magnum

      Nabil - BC assuming Mateta is predicted to start

  3. lilmessipran
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Which of these FH drafts would you go for this gw?

    Team A - 5/3/2
    Sanchez
    Taa VVD Cancelo Laporte Zinchenko
    Salah Mount Havertz
    Ronaldo Werner

    Team B -3/5/2
    De Gea
    Taa Cancelo VVD
    Sterling KDB Mount Kai Jota
    Werner Pukki

    1. Simon69
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      B

    2. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      I think you have to gamble with a Chelsea defender on FH. Get James or Alonso instead of vvd in B. However if you're set on triple attack then vvd is good, but I'd prefer someone who is more attacking like Cash or Robbo (try downgrade Pukki to Mateta)

      Then change keeper.

    3. De Gea is GOAT
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      B for me.

    4. lilmessipran

      Cheers guys

    Thoughts on this FH team?

    Dubravka
    Robbo, James, Cancelo, Veltman
    Salah, Mane, Sterling, Havertz, Mount
    Nketiah

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      What's your bench?

      I guess if you have Tsimikas that covers a Robertson benching?

      Would suck for you if either Salah/Mane/Sterling get benched, although odds are they probably don't I guess.

      Veltman could pay off I suppose.

      1. Cali
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Not much of a bench. I could downgrade Mane to Jota and James to Alonso. That would allow me to bring in Laporte and Pukki for more depth. Just trying to play it somewhat aggressive on my FH.

  5. v3n0m
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Rudi -> James worth -4?

    1. Under The Kosc-ielney
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Yes

  6. Buck The Trent
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Why most people think Robbo will be benched ? (team leaks, bib theory etc)

    1. Simon69
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Worth checking the Liverpool forums surely?

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Forums & Klopp rotation history vs. Everton. Nothing otherwise evidential. Can see it though.

    3. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years

      Funny

  7. sully29
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Any issues with this FH team?

    De Gea
    Cancelo, VVD, Laporte
    Salah, Sterling, Havertz, Mount, Jota
    Werner, Nketiah

    Subs: Ben Johnson + three non players.

    1. Simon69
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Yummy imo

    2. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Lovely except for GK

  8. BlueLions
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    No Chelsea mid, not sure who to lose for Mount out of Maddison or Kulusevski?

    1. Under The Kosc-ielney
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Depends on the rest of the team but I would go with Maddison as Leicester prioritizes Europe.

      1. BlueLions
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Cheers for the reply. Other mids are Salah, Saka and J.Ramsey, but don't have the cash to upgrade Ramsey.

  9. SpaceCadet
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Cap havertz or Werner?

    1. Under The Kosc-ielney
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Havertz

    2. Simon69
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Big balls vs balls in a wheelbarrow

      1. NorCal Villan
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Did someone say balls in a wheelbarrow?

    Should I do this?
    Kane + Saka + Maddison (out)
    Werner + Mount + Son/Sterling (in)
    -8

    Dubravka (Ramsdale)
    Alonso TAA Robertson Cancelo (Dalot)

      Nice. Providing you can do Ronaldo to Kane for free, or a plan jn mind?

    3. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Not a WC this week as WC in 34,but with the same period in mind.

      Schmeichel
      TAA Robertson Cancelo James
      Salah Havertz Maddison Kulusevski
      Kane Mateta
      // Foster / Nketiah / Ramsey / Tavares

      Nketiah & Tavares are currently Cucho & Doherty but injuries screwed me there.

      Laporte may come in for James/Laporte next time for a Tavares upgrade (but think he is potentially under the radar for a cheap bench & BB option).

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        as WC in 32*

    4. ZimZalabim
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Schmeichel Foster
      Trent Cancelo Laporte Alonso Davies
      Salah Mount Sterling Havertz Jota
      Pukki Dennis Nketiah

      Still undecided on 3 spots
      Alonso, Sterling and Jota could go for James, KDB and Saka

      I want to take the risk on the first 3 but the mins risk is worrying me so small chance I bottle it

  13. Teahupo'o
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    This gw only. Havertz Nketiah or Mount Mateta +4?

    1. Thomas Magnum

      The urge to rip up my team and bring him in is real but then I see messages like this and it always throws me off hahaha

  18. klopptimusprime
    • 9 Years

    Schmeichel
    TAA | Matip | Cancelo | James
    Salah | Sterling | Mount | Saka
    Werner | Pukki

      • 5 Years

      Exactly the same as mine except I have laporte and you have Matip.

      Unfortunately I do t have enough to do sterling to son for gw35!

      1. klopptimusprime
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Awesome stuff, who you captaining ?

    2. Thomas Magnum
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Looks good to me! Only thing is I’m personally not a big fan of Nketiah but I can see the appeal if he keeps his place. Very solid squad

      1. klopptimusprime
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Out of him, Joao Pedro, Mateta, or Rodriguez really

        want someone who doubles 36 so currently on him

    1. Thomas Magnum
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Martinelli cause not sure he starts

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Maybe this is true

      2. Simon69
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Think the risk could be worth it because.... United defence. Anything is possible.

  20. Thomas Magnum
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Other than the .2 saving, is there anything separating Dias and Laporte, Dias slightly more nailed?

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Laporte best shot inside box among all defenders iirc, pretty nailed like Dias imo.

      Plus he's a DGW legend

    2. Sal8
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Laporten more attacking threat

  21. chelseaboy14
