FPL GW34 Free Hit Drafts
FPL GW34 Free Hit Draft 1
- Liverpool Defense Double up of Alexander Arnold and Robertson which has a great upside. Liverpool have zero clean sheets from the last 7 games. But Robbo and TAA always have good attacking threat.

- 5 assists from the last 4 games for a “Defender” make TAA a must-own on GW34 Free Hit.
- Salah picks himself in the team with a home Double vs Spurs and Fulham. Salah’s home record is more impressive with 8 goals and 5 assists from 15 home games this season. In fact, only Haaland(26) has more big chances than Salah(20) at home this season.
- Rashford is back amongst the goals scoring a goal and an assist in a 2-2 draw in GW33. He had an xG of 0.94(3rd highest in GW33) and two big chances(2nd highest in GW33).
- Haaland, De Bruyne and Ederson makes up the City Triple up. De Bruyne has been in splendid form with returns of 19, 8, 9, and 13 points from the last 4 games courtesy of 3 goals, and 5 assists.
Players sorted by FPL Points since GW29- De Bruyne is on Top despite playing just 4 games compared to others who have played 6 games during the same time.
- Ederson is the safest pick from “Pep Roulette” and takes up the Keeper slot.
- Consistently performing Budget Brighton midfielders March and Mitoma fill in the team with an interesting Double vs Wolves and Manchester United.

FPL GW34 Free Hit Draft 2
- Jota comes in as the third Liverpool attacker in the place of Robertson. Jota has back-to-back Double Digit hauls in GW31(16 points) and GW32(13 points) before blanking in GW33. Over these 3 Gameweeks, Jota is ranked 2nd for xG(2.59) only behind Haaland(2.86). He is a streak player and would love to carry on his form which makes him a great differential choice at just 4.8% TSB.
Liverpool players sorted by xG in the last three games:
- In the 59 minutes against West Ham, Jota had two big chances with a total xG of 0.60. Liverpool created four big chances in the game and Jota had half of them which shows he’s always going to be getting good goal-scoring chances.
- Grealish takes up the third midfield slot as a cheaper route to City attack and has been a consistent starter starting 15/17 games in the league since the World Cup. He has performed really well with 4 goals, and 8 assists during the same time.
Matchup alert-
City’s GW34 opponents tend to concede a lot of chances from their right flank. West Ham and Fulham are ranked 18th and 14th for Chances conceded down their right flank during the last 6 matches. This is where Grealish operates and could feast on!
FPL GW34 Free Hit Draft 3
- Differential Draft for those chasing ranks with a City defense Double up, Bruno Fernandes and Gakpo.
- Bruno Fernandes is now fully fit and has started the GW33 game vs Tottenham registering an assist. Both Gakpo and Fernandes are still at <10% ownership and are in good form as well.
- Bruno was once again unlucky not to haul big and returned only an assist vs Spurs. But his numbers are once again strong with an xGI of 1.3(3rd highest in GW33). He created two big chances and also had a big chance himself in GW33 which shows his overall goal-scoring and attacking threat.
