## Resource

Gameweek 33 is in the books and Gameweek 34 is coming fast — with a Friday 24th April deadline at 5:30pm and only seven fixtures scheduled, this is a blank gameweek that demands serious squad management. In this episode of Who Got The Points?, we break down everything FPL managers need to know before the deadline hits. We cover the key news items shaping Gameweek 34 decisions: Man City injury doubts surrounding Rodri, Dias, and Gvardiol; Crystal Palace rotation concerns; and Leeds injury worries with Stach, Rodon, and James all flagged. João Pedro and Palmer both missed Gameweek 33, adding further uncertainty to Chelsea and Brighton assets. On transfers in, Ollie Watkins is flagged as essential after a stunning 16-point haul — two goals and an assist against Sunderland. We also assess budget options Lammens and Lacroix, both delivering strong Gameweek 33 returns. Transfers out include Bowen after a dismal blank and Kadıoğlu, who must be sold purely for Gameweek 34 coverage reasons despite a brilliant double gameweek. Our defensive spotlight celebrates Kadıoğlu and Pascal Groß — both hitting 16 points in Brighton's double gameweek — while differential picks Disasi, Canvot, and in-form Okafor from Leeds offer low-ownership upside at budget prices. Captaincy verdict? Watkins. No debate. Visit whogotthepoints.com for more FPL insights and analysis.
