FPL GW34 Transfer Targets
Jarrod Bowen – £7.7m – 12.9%
With just one loss in their last five games, West Ham are doing a late push in order to save themselves from relegation, and in the midst of it all has been their main man, Jarrod Bowen. 5 assists in 5 games with 2 Defcon points, Jarrod Bowen should definitely be in your free hit drafts.
In the last 5 gameweeks, he has been one of the most in-form forwards (rank among forwards):
- 28 points (2nd)
- 5 Goal Involvements (1st)
- 10 key passes (1st)
- 5 Big Chances Created (1st)
- 0.67 xA (1st)
Bowen has turned into a creator recently from more of a striker, and that has had a positive effect on his game. He is also hitting defcon points, which is a bonus, with him averaging 9.4 Defcons per 90. In a fight to stay in the Premier League, West Ham will play Everton (H), Brentford (A), Arsenal (H), Newcastle (A), and Leeds (H), which is a decent fixture run, and Bowen could be a season-long hold.

Ollie Watkins – £8.6m – 11.7%
Fresh off a 16-point haul recently against Sunderland, Watkins is a man in form right now. He has 4 goal contributions in the last 5 games that he has played and ranks in the top among forwards in many important statistics.
This is how he ranks among forwards in the last 5 gameweeks:
- 12 shots (joint 4th)
- 7 Big Chances (1st)
- 4 Goal Involvements (joint 2nd)
- 5 Key Passes (2nd)
- 3 Big Chances Created (2nd)
- 6 Bonus Points (2nd)
- 28 Points (Joint 2nd)
With Watkins playing 12th-placed Fulham this season, Aston Villa will look to continue on their winning form, having won 2 of their last 3 games to finish the season strong.

William Saliba – £6.1m – 13.9%
Starting FPL GW34 Transfer Targets list off is Arsenal’s William Saliba. With Gabriel already owned by almost half of you (42.9% ownership at the time of writing), Saliba acts like the perfect addition to double up on Arsenal’s defense.
Saliba has played the entire 90 minutes every game except 2 games since GW16 and will definitely continue to start for them as they push to keep the 1st place in the table theirs. While not the most attacking, Saliba has 1 goal this season and has crossed the Defcon threshold 4 times.
He also has the highest tackling completion percentage (63%), most recoveries (100), 2nd most clearances (112), and 2nd most CBIT (165) among all Arsenal defenders this season.
Keep Saliba in your list if you’re free-hitting this week.
Nordi Mukiele – £4.5m – 8.2%
The second player in the FPL GW34 Transfer Targets list is an FPL Favorite who had been missing due to injury but is back now and on his return scored a double-digit haul against Spurs in GW32. Mukiele has been a stone in the backline this season for Sunderland.
He had crossed the defcon threshold 11 times in the 24 games before his injury against Fulham, while also scoring 1 goal and providing 5 assists. He scored a goal and kept a clean sheet against Tottenham Hotspur in GW32, and after a disappointing outing in GW33, he will look to be back amongst the returns against Nottingham Forest in GW34.
Sunderland have a few good fixtures to finish a brilliant season for him back in the Premier League with them playing NFO (H), WOL (A), MUN (H), EVE (A) & CHE (H) in their next five game. Mukiele could be a hold till the end of the season with a price tag of just 4.5, he should be on your free hit!
Morgan Gibbs-White – £7.5m – 7.1%
Just like Ollie Watkins last week, Morgan Gibbs-White also shone, scoring a brilliant hat-trick against Burnley, MGW stacked up 20 points ahead of Blank Gameweek 34. He will now play away to Sunderland this week, who are also coming into this game in good form, making it a cracking fixture.
With 5 goals in his last 5 fixtures in the Premier League, he has ranked high among many statistics, making him a brilliant pick for GW34 (rank among midfielders):
- 12 shots from inside the box (1st)
- 4 Big Chances (Joint 2nd)
- 2.5 xGI (5th)
- 5 Goal Involvements (2nd)
- 4 Bonus Points (5th)
- 41 Points (1st)
A man in form, Morgan Gibbs-White will be a man on a mission to make sure Nottingham Forest confirm survival this season and continue battling it out in the Premier League next season.

Morgan Rogers – £7.4m – 23.5%
The last player on the GW34 Transfer Targets list is another Aston Villa player, Morgan Rogers. Another FPL Cult favorite, Rogers has scored 9 goals and assisted 7 this season, and has 3 goal contributions in his last 5 appearances in the Premier League.
He also got 1 goal and 1 assist against Bologna in the Europa League. Aston Villa also finishes the season off with some good fixtures as they look to confirm a European spot again this season, with them facing Fulham (A), Tottenham (H), Burnley (A), Liverpool (H), and Manchester City (A).
Among midfielders in the last 5 gameweeks, Rogers has ranked:
- Joint 4th for Shots Taken (14)
- Joint 3rd for Big Chances (3)
- Joint 4th for Assists (2)
A mid-priced defender with good fixtures till the end of the season, Rogers should be on your mind while creating those free hit drafts.
