Unleashing the Stars: Cunha, Barnes, and Sessegnon Lead FPL Week 34 Strategy

Discover the top FPL picks for Week 34 featuring Matheus Cunha, Harvey Barnes, and Ryan Sessegnon. Optimize your team with expert tips and insights.

Keeper and Defence

Robert Sanchez, Chelsea, Keeper, £4.5m - Everton (h) Everton's recent form has been lackluster, with only four goals in their past six games. This makes Sanchez a solid choice for a clean sheet.

Trent Alexander-Arnold, Liverpool, £7.2m - Tottenham (h) Despite starting only 26 games this season, Alexander-Arnold remains the top-scoring FPL defender. His attacking potential is unmatched, making him a must-have.

Marc Cucurella, Chelsea, £5.4m - Everton (h) Cucurella has been a consistent performer for Chelsea, with six goals in all competitions. His form against Everton makes him a reliable pick.

Ryan Sessegnon, Fulham, £4.1m - Southampton (a) Sessegnon has been productive in his recent starts, with three goals and two assists in his past seven games. His budget-friendly price makes him an attractive option.

Rayan Ait-Nouri, Wolves, £5m - Leicester (h) Ait-Nouri has been a high-upside defender, with great potential for both clean sheets and attacking returns. His statistics back up his attacking prowess.

Midfield

Mohamed Salah (vice-captain), Liverpool, £13.8m - Tottenham (h) Salah's recent form may be inconsistent, but his past performance against Spurs makes him a risky yet rewarding pick.

Luis Diaz, Liverpool, £7.5m - Tottenham (h) Diaz had a field day against Spurs last time, scoring 13 FPL points. His current form and the potential for a high-scoring game make him a strong choice.

Harvey Barnes, Newcastle, £6m - Ipswich (h) Barnes has been in incredible form, with four goals and four assists in his past six games. His involvement in 50% of Newcastle's goals makes him a key player.

Justin Kluivert, Bournemouth, £6m - Manchester United (h) Kluivert is fit again and on penalties, making him a viable option for those on a Free Hit this week.

Strikers

Matheus Cunha (captain), Wolves, £6.9m - Leicester (h) Cunha has been one of the standout FPL stories this season, with 14 goals and five assists. His bonus-point potential makes him a great captain choice.

Chris Wood, Nottingham Forest, £6.9m - Brentford (h) Wood has defied expectations with 19 goals this season, despite an xG of only 11. His form makes him a solid bet for bonus points.

Subs' Bench

Filip Jorgensen, Chelsea, Keeper, £4.2m - Everton (h) Danny Welbeck, Brighton, Striker, £5.5m - West Ham (h) Alex Iwobi, Fulham, Midfielder, £5.5m - Southampton (a) Tino Livramento, Newcastle, Defender, £4.6m - Ipswich (h)

Team Total Cost: £93.1m

The team of the week is selected based on current FPL prices to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

Player to Watch

Jamie Vardy, Leicester, £5.3m, Striker Vardy hasn't scored in 10 games, but with Southampton and Ipswich at home in the next four gameweeks, he could end his season on a high note.

Team to Target

Nottingham Forest - Brentford (h), Crystal Palace (a), Leicester (h) Forest have a favorable fixture run, and if they beat Manchester City in their FA Cup semi-final, they might get a double gameweek. Chris Wood aside, there are plenty of viable assets at both ends of the pitch.
