Here's what you need to know in the next seven minutes to nail your Gameweek thirty-four transfers before Friday's deadline. Let's get into it.
Right, the big news bulletin first. Gibbs-White just scored a hat-trick for Nott'm Forest against Burnley in Gameweek thirty-three. Twenty points. Hat-trick. At seven point five million pounds. If you don't own him, you're already thinking about it. Meanwhile, João Pedro did not feature at all for Chelsea in Gameweek thirty-three, and one hundred and seventy-two thousand managers are already selling him. With a form rating of zero point seven and zero expected points for Gameweek thirty-four, the exit door is wide open. On the injury front, Chelsea have concerns around João Pedro, Enzo, and Estevao ahead of their Brighton fixture. Brighton themselves have question marks over Mitoma, Gomez, and Dunk. Rodri also picked up an injury during Gameweek thirty-three, so keep an eye on Man City news ahead of their Burnley fixture in the same gameweek. And finally, Gameweek thirty-four is a blank gameweek with only seven teams playing. Six sides have no fixture. Plan accordingly.
Okay, let's get into the transfers. Here are your top three ins for Gameweek thirty-four.
First up, Gibbs-White, Nott'm Forest midfielder, seven point five million pounds, six point six percent ownership. The man just delivered a hat-trick in Gameweek thirty-three, banking twenty points. He now has twelve goals and two assists this season, with a form rating of ten point zero. Nott'm Forest travel to Sunderland in Gameweek thirty-four, which has a difficulty rating of two for the away side. Forest are flying and Gibbs-White is the engine. Ten expected points for Gameweek thirty-four. Verdict: Essential. Get him in before the ownership explodes further. Over eighty-one thousand managers have already moved for him this gameweek.
Second, Watkins, Aston Villa forward, eight point six million pounds, ten point eight percent ownership. He bagged two goals and an assist in Gameweek thirty-three for sixteen points. That's eleven goals and three assists for the season now. We flagged him as a sell two days ago, but that was before this haul. We're reversing that view. Aston Villa face Fulham in Gameweek thirty-four, fixture difficulty three each way, and then have Spurs in Gameweek thirty-five. The goals are flowing again. Nine expected points for Gameweek thirty-four. Verdict: Good buy. One hundred and sixty-eight thousand transfers in this gameweek tells its own story.
Third, Dewsbury-Hall, Everton midfielder, five point one million pounds, five percent ownership. Budget gem alert. He picked up an assist against Liverpool in Gameweek thirty-three. Seven goals and six assists this season at just over five million pounds. Everton face West Ham at home in Gameweek thirty-four, a fixture difficulty of two for the home side. He's averaging five point one points per game this season, which is extraordinary value at that price. Seven point five expected points for Gameweek thirty-four. Nineteen thousand transfers in this gameweek. Verdict: Good buy if you need funds freed up elsewhere.
Now the three transfers out.
João Pedro, Chelsea forward, seven point seven million pounds, forty-eight point six percent ownership. He did not play a single minute in Gameweek thirty-three. Zero points. His form has collapsed to zero point seven. His expected points for Gameweek thirty-four are listed at zero point zero. Chelsea don't even have a Gameweek thirty-four fixture in the confirmed list of playing teams. One hundred and seventy-two thousand managers are already out. If you're still holding, this is your final warning. Verdict: Sell immediately.
Bowen, West Ham forward, seven point seven million pounds, twelve point one percent ownership. We flagged him as a differential a couple of days ago, and while he's been recommended previously, Gameweek thirty-three brought just two points from ninety minutes. Zero goals, zero assists in the Crystal Palace draw. His form sits at six point zero, which isn't terrible, but West Ham face Everton in Gameweek thirty-four with a fixture difficulty of three. With Watkins and Gibbs-White both clearly in better form right now, and with the blank gameweek limiting options, there are better uses of seven point seven million pounds. Verdict: Sell or Hold depending on squad depth, but leaning sell.
Final sell, M.Salah, Liverpool midfielder, fourteen million pounds, fourteen point nine percent ownership. Now look, Salah scored against Everton in Gameweek thirty-three for ten points, which is fine. But his price has dropped five points and his ownership is relatively low at fourteen point nine percent. Liverpool face Crystal Palace in Gameweek thirty-four, listed as a difficulty three for Liverpool at home. With nine point five expected points, he's still viable, but at fourteen million pounds in a blank gameweek where budget is everything, if you're short on funds, he's a luxury you might not be able to afford. Verdict: Hold if you own him, don't buy if you don't.
Right, two differentials for Gameweek thirty-four. Under ten percent, potentially explosive.
Casemiro, Man Utd midfielder, five point seven million pounds, just three point five percent ownership. Man Utd beat Chelsea one-nil in Gameweek thirty-three, and Casemiro kept a clean sheet. Eight goals and four assists for the season at five point seven million pounds is staggering. Man Utd host Brentford in Gameweek thirty-four. That's a fixture difficulty of three for United, four for Brentford. Nine clean sheets this season for this defensive midfielder who also chips in with goals. Seven point five expected points. He's flying under the radar completely.
Muñoz, Crystal Palace defender, five point eight million pounds, seven point six percent ownership. Crystal Palace drew nil-nil with West Ham in Gameweek thirty-three, giving Muñoz a clean sheet and seven points. Ten clean sheets this season, three goals, three assists. Liverpool at home in Gameweek thirty-four is tough, difficulty four, but Crystal Palace have been defensively solid and Muñoz offers attacking threat from right back. Five expected points but with huge upside. If Palace nick a result, he'll reward.
Captaincy pick for Gameweek thirty-four. It has to be Gibbs-White. Hat-trick form, ten expected points, facing Sunderland away with a difficulty of two. He's the standout captain option among the teams that are actually playing this blank gameweek. If you want a safer arm, M.Salah at home to Crystal Palace with nine point five expected points is your backup.
One key tip: This is a blank gameweek with only seven teams playing. If you have a Free Hit chip available, now is the time to seriously consider using it to field a full team of playing assets. The difference between a full squad and a skeleton lineup could be massive for your rank.
