FPL GW34 Tips
Key notes for FPL GW34
Let’s start with our key notes for GW34 of FPL.
- If on wildcard, bring in three Chelsea players to exploit DGW34 and DGW36
- Avoid Manchester United players
- Bring in Villa players due to double in GW36 and 37
- If you still have your bench boost available, set up your bench now, so you could use the BB chip in GW36 or 37
- There is not much value among attackers, you could try play 5-4-1 formation with Pukki as a striker
- TAA, Robertson, Cancelo, Laporte, James are our back 5
- do not try to play pep roulette by bringing in Manchester City attacker/mids. Focus on their defense. Cancelo, Ederson and Laporte should be the safe route to the points from City player. Bring in at leas two of them
