Gameweek 34 rolls around Chelsea and Manchester United on doubles, facing each other, along with West Ham United and Arsenal respectively.
Previous week lessons
Last round, with a bunch of doubles, was full of surprises. Cristiano Ronaldo reiterated his quality with a hat-trick landing 17 points, while Newcastle’s Bruno Guimaraes top scored with 20, but the reliable Mohamed Salah scored 19 on a single.
In terms of premium players who are in-form, though, Riyad Mahrez added another 14-point return in Manchester City’s single against Brighton and Sadio Mane chimed in with 13 in Liverpool’s single win over Manchester United.

The focus needs to be Chelsea and Manchester United players, led by Mason Mount who is the most traded-in player this round as the Blues’ top scoring player this season with 148 points. Mount is only 7.7m and has two double-figure returns in the past five gameweeks.
Teammate Kai Havertz is slightly more expensive at 7.9m, but he is coming into form, with five goals in the last six games for Chelsea. He’ll also likely be preferred ahead of Romelu Lukaku up front, although that uncertainty may scare off coaches.
Defender Reece James has been good when available, while Marcos Alonso can provide goals and assists. Timo Werner has been traded in by plenty, but comes with risk despite some recent promising form.
From United, Ronaldo’s price tag will scare off a lot of coaches but manager Ralf Rangnick has declared he will be available after missing out in midweek for family reasons.
Others to consider are Norwich’s cheap forward Teemu Pukki who is on a good run with 40 points in their past six gameweeks.
Who to captain?
The attraction of the double gameweek is strong, particularly if you’ve invested in a Ronaldo, Bruno Fernandes, Havertz or Mount.
However, don’t be seduced by the double, with Salah coming up against lowly Everton, while Kevin De Bruyne and Manchester City face Watford. The aforementioned Mane and Mahrez are in-form…
