Hope no one gets caught out by this quick turnaround! Let&#8217;s find out the best picks for this gameweek.<\/p>\n<h2>Fantasy Premier League Gameweek 34+ Picks<\/h2>\n<h3>Quick Tips<\/h3>\n<p>Almost every team will play once every three or four days from now until the end of the season. Hence, player rotation is inevitable. So, it would be prudent to have players that might start on your bench.<\/p>\n<h3>Goalkeepers<\/h3>\n<p>It seems a really tricky week for goalkeepers. <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/d0b3ceb9\/Ben-Foster?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ben Foster<\/a> has a good shout of a clean sheet against <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/clubs\/norwich-city\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Norwich City<\/a>. The Canaries have failed to score in their last four matches.<\/p>\n<p>The long-term picks of <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/4b40d9ca\/Nick-Pope?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Nick Pope<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/e5a76dfe\/Dean-Henderson?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dean Henderson<\/a> both face difficult ties this round. However, <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/clubs\/burnley\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Burnley<\/a> have beaten their opponents of this round, <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/clubs\/west-ham\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">West Ham United<\/a>, by keeping a clean sheet in each of their last two encounters. The Hammers look in decent form now, though.<\/p>\n<p>Ederson is another one who might keep a clean sheet at home to <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/clubs\/newcastle-united\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Newcastle United<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Defenders<\/h3>\n<p>Just like the goalkeepers, defenders also have a tough round coming up.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/9e525177\/Aaron-Wan-Bissaka?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Aaron Wan-Bissaka<\/a> disappointed in last round but against <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/clubs\/aston-villa-club-news-analysis-fixtures\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Aston Villa<\/a>, he might be more productive.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/d557d734\/Matt-Doherty?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Matt Doherty<\/a> could not make his usual forward runs due to the presence of <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/d5dd5f1f\/Pierre-Emerick-Aubameyang?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang<\/a> in the last round. His FPL owners will be expecting a good return from the Irishman against <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/clubs\/sheffield-united-club-news-analysis-fixtures\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sheffield United<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/1b84dbe1\/Lucas-Digne?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Lucas Digne<\/a> could be a decent option against <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/clubs\/southampton\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Southampton<\/a>. The saints have a great away record this season though.<\/p>\n<h3>Midfielders<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/search\/search.fcgi?pid=507c7bdf,9227838e&amp;search=Bruno+Fernandes&amp;utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bruno Fernandes<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/8b788c01\/Anthony-Martial?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Anthony Martial\u00a0<\/a>are scoring for fun and they are playing one of the worst teams in the league in Aston Villa. <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/clubs\/manchester-united\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Manchester United<\/a> are to continue their red-hot form at Villa Park.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/e46012d4\/Kevin-De-Bruyne?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Kevin De Bruyne<\/a> was benched at Southampton, so it looks likely that the Belgian will get the start in this round. <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/clubs\/manchester-city\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Manchester City<\/a> are playing well but without <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/4d034881\/Sergio-Aguero?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sergio Aguero<\/a>, they seem to be missing a lot of chances. <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/ed1e53f3\/Phil-Foden?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Phil Foden<\/a> might get the nod in this game as well. It is a comfortable looking home fixture for <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/b21fe2db\/Pep-Guardiola?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Pep Guardiola<\/a>&#8216;s men but his rotation policy and the tendency to substitute players just before the 60-minute mark have surely incurred the wrath of every FPL manager.<\/p>\n<p>Since clinching the title, <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/clubs\/liverpool\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Liverpool<\/a> do not seem as sharp as before. <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/clubs\/brighton-hove-albion\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Brighton &amp; Hove Albion<\/a> still need points to absolutely confirm their safety. It won&#8217;t be a straightforward match for Liverpool. However, <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/e342ad68\/Mohamed-Salah?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mohamed Salah<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/c691bfe2\/Sadio-Mane?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sadio Mane<\/a> could still do some damage at the Amex Stadium.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/clubs\/bournemouth\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bournemouth<\/a> are in deep trouble and they have another tough encounter this round against <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/clubs\/tottenham\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tottenham Hotspur<\/a>. Heung-Min Son could have a good game here.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/ac05f970\/Michail-Antonio?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Michail Antonio<\/a> is playing as a striker these days. One could look at him as a differential pick. He has some nice fixtures coming up as well. <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/79c84d1c\/Jarrod-Bowen?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jarrod Bowen<\/a> is also looking good.<\/p>\n<h3>Strikers<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/58eee997\/Mason-Greenwood?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mason Greenwood<\/a> is in absolutely sublime form. In fact, the United youngster has scored three goals in the last two matches. His starting spot seems secure as well. Available at a basement price, one should consider him very very strongly indeed. <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/a1d5bd30\/Marcus-Rashford?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Marcus Rashford<\/a>, on the other hand,\u00a0has not scored that many FPL points since the restart. However, he could still come up with the goods.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/d5dd5f1f\/Pierre-Emerick-Aubameyang?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang<\/a> scored twice in <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/clubs\/arsenal\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Arsenal<\/a>&#8216;s last home game. <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/clubs\/leicester-city\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Leicester City<\/a> are tough opponents but Auba will be ready to pounce on any mistakes made by the defenders.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/21a66f6a\/Harry-Kane?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Harry Kane<\/a> should be a strong consideration if one has the units at leaky Bournemouth. Kane looked good in the last match as well.<\/p>\n<h3>Fantasy Premier League Captaincy Picks<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/search\/search.fcgi?pid=507c7bdf,9227838e&amp;search=Bruno+Fernandes&amp;utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bruno Fernandes<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/e46012d4\/Kevin-De-Bruyne?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Kevin De Bruyne<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/8b788c01\/Anthony-Martial?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Anthony Martial<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Fantasy Premier League Top Picks<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/search\/search.fcgi?pid=507c7bdf,9227838e&amp;search=Bruno+Fernandes&amp;utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bruno Fernandes<\/a> (\u00a38.9)<\/li>\n<li>Kevin De Bruyne (\u00a310.8)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/8b788c01\/Anthony-Martial?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Anthony Martial<\/a> (\u00a38.3)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/58eee997\/Mason-Greenwood?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mason Greenwood<\/a> (\u00a34.5)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/e342ad68\/Mohamed-Salah?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mohamed Salah<\/a>\u00a0(\u00a312.6)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/c691bfe2\/Sadio-Mane?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sadio Mane<\/a> (\u00a312.4)<\/li>\n<li>Harry Kane (\u00a310.9)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/cd1acf9d\/Trent-Alexander-Arnold?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Trent Alexander-Arnold<\/a>\u00a0(\u00a37.8)<\/li>\n<li>Heung-Min Son (\u00a39.8)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/ac05f970\/Michail-Antonio?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Michail Antonio<\/a> (\u00a36.9)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"ASnELY6FSCpp1FF2cXcqKQ\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.co.uk\/detail\/1254238750\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'ASnELY6FSCpp1FF2cXcqKQ',sig:'SMEeSeXeD8UcBl3kxUhfahIioLyrDmHkTuS-F9Rg97k=',w:'594px',h:'330px',items:'1254238750',caption: true ,tld:'co.uk',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fantasy Premier League Gameweek 34+ is almost upon us with a Tuesday deadline.
