FPL GW34 Free Hit Guide

FPL GW34 Fixtures

Seven teams will have a Double Gameweek in GW34.

GW34 vs GW37 Free Hit:

• The teams that Double in GW34 don’t double in GW37. Chelsea and Spurs Double in both GW35 and GW37. Spurs blank in GW34. Keeping all this in mind, if you are have Bench Boost and Free Hit left, GW34 Free Hit and GW37 Bench Boost is likely to be better as you can build upto 12-15 Double Gameweeks players for DGW37.

• Your team is already likely to have Palmer + Son who double in GW35 and GW37. So it would not be a great suggestion to sell them this week and buy them back for the Doubles. It would mean using up too many transfers.
• Apart from Liverpool and Arsenal assets, there are not many reliable options to field 15 DGW players for GW34. After fielding 15 DGW players for GW34, it will be difficult to get to 11 good Double Gameweek players for GW37 without taking many hits. However it is team dependent as some teams are better suited to GW34 Bench Boost and GW37 Free Hit if they had planned and made moves accordingly before.

Cons of GW34 Free Hit:

There are good chances that in-form Single Gameweek players like Haaland, Foden and Palmer can go big in GW34. You are not likely to own them on Free Hit and if they go big, there could be heavy rank drops due to their high ownership.

Players to Target in GW34 Free Hit:

• Goal Keepers: Henderson, Alisson, Raya, Pickford
• Defenders: Saliba, Gabriel, White, Van Dijk, TAA, Robertson, Munoz, Mitchell, Zabarnyi, Tarkowski, Ait Nouri(if fit), Semedo, Mykolenko
• Midfielders: Salah, Luis Diaz, Saka, Havertz, Odegaard, Eze, Olise, Sarabia, Hwang, Doucoure, Kluivert, Brereton Diaz, Hamer
• Forwards: Solanke, Darwin, Mateta, Haaland

FPL GW34 Free Hit Drafts

FPL GW34 Free Hit Draft 1

• Trent Alexander Arnold made his comeback from injury with a 42 minute cameo vs Palace. With Bradley getting injured in GW33, the stage is set for more minutes for TAA who has a huge upside on Free Hit with a Double Gameweek vs Fulham(A), Everton(A) and an ownership of just 8.3%. Watch out for the midweek European fixture for Liverpool and latest press conference updates from Klopp before locking in TAA.

• We have gone with a Double Arsenal defense of Gabriel and Saliba as Arsenal are comfortably the Best Defensive side in the league- Least xGC, Least Big Chances conceded, Least Goals Conceded and Most Clean sheets.
• Salah, Saka and Solanke pick themselves as they have been consistent performers for a while.
• Eze and Olise are great Differential Picks with a Home Double Gameweek vs West Ham and Newcastle.
• Brereton Diaz is another exciting Differential pick with a Double vs Manchester United and Burnley- Both teams on poor defensive form. Brereton Diaz has 5 Big Chance Involvements from the last 4 games averaging 0.7 xGI/90 minutes during this time. In the same time, Manchester United and Burnley are ranked 20th and 14th for xGC in the league. This makes a strong case for 0.3% owned Brereton Diaz as a good punt.
• Cunha is mentioned on the subs in this draft. But the latest update is the Cunha is ruled of the first game of DGW34 vs Arsenal.

Note: Brathwaite(in subs in this drafts) was injured and subbed off in GW33, so it would be better to go for Tarkowski/Mykolenko if you are planning on an Everton defender slot.

FPL GW34 Free Hit Draft 2

• This is a more reliable and safer draft in terms of attack with Double up of Saka/Havertz and Luis Diaz/Salah. Defense also has stable picks like Virgil Van Dijk who is not a minutes risk and is assured to play both the games.
• Double Arsenal defense is replaced by Double up in attack with Havertz joining Saka. Havertz has been in exceptional form with 5 goals, 5 assists and 70 FPL Points from his last 8 games. Only Palmer has more Goal Involvements and FPL Points than Havertz in the entire league during this time.
• Mateta has 4 goals, 1 assist from his last 8 matches. His underlying data is also good with 7 Big chances and 0.5 xGI during this time.

FPL GW34 Free Hit Draft 3

• Differential Free Hit Draft with Triple Palace Attack and Double Liverpool Attacking Defenders- Trent Alexander Arnold and Robertson.
• Palace have not scored plenty of goals this season to warrant the triple up, but whenever Olise and Eze have played together Palace look good going forward. And the defensive numbers of West Ham and Newcastle away from home are not very great.

• Liverpool defense Double up of TAA and Robertson are very attacking and are both finally fit together. We can know that they are capable of providing returns of both ends of the pitch and are likely to be on some set pieces and corners as well.
• Ait Nouri is an injury doubt. Watch out for the latest injury updates and Wolves Press Conference updates before getting him in.
