Summary
Gameweek 33 is done and dusted, and Gameweek 34 is a blank gameweek with a Friday 24th April deadline at 5:30pm. In this episode of Who Got The Points?, we break down everything FPL managers need to know before the clock runs out. Liverpool face a goalkeeper crisis as Mamardashvili is set to miss two to four weeks, opening the door for a budget keeper option at just £3.9m. Everton's Branthwaite is confirmed out for the season, potentially boosting Michael Keane's minutes against West Ham. Chelsea's manager sacking adds further uncertainty, and with no Gameweek 34 fixture, their assets are ones to avoid. On transfers in, Ollie Watkins is the standout after a monstrous 16-point haul in Gameweek 33, earning him the captain's armband recommendation against Fulham. Man City's O'Reilly and Cherki both delivered 13 points in the double but blank this week, making them Free Hit essentials rather than straight transfers. On the differential front, Mavropanos of West Ham leads the way with massive expected points of 13.5 at just 2% ownership, while Xavi of Spurs surges into contention after 11 points against Brighton. Mitchell of Crystal Palace is also flagged as a value differential. Chip strategy is central this episode – with only seven fixtures in Gameweek 34, the Free Hit chip is more popular than ever.
