FPL Blank Gameweek 34: Best Players to Target 🎯

Gameweek 34 is one of the biggest blanks of the 2025/26 season.

Six of twenty Premier League clubs have no fixture in GW34. That means Haaland, Welbeck, and João Pedro — premium assets that power many FPL squads — sit idle, but the good news is that most template players including Saka, Salah, and Fernandes all have confirmed fixtures. Fourteen teams play in GW34, making this a much more manageable blank than initially feared.

This is the kind of week that decides mini-leagues and overall rank climbs. Getting the BGW34 picks right — especially from the confirmed playing clubs — can generate massive green arrows while the premium blankers stall.

Here's a full breakdown of every verified target worth owning in Blank Gameweek 34.

Home Team	FDR	Away Team	FDR	Kick-off (UTC)	Status
Sunderland	2	Nottm Forest	3	Thu 24 Apr, 19:00	✅ Confirmed
Fulham	3	Aston Villa	3	Fri 25 Apr, 11:30	✅ Confirmed
Liverpool	3	Crystal Palace	4	Fri 25 Apr, 14:00	✅ Confirmed

Wolves	2	Spurs	2	Fri 25 Apr, 14:00	✅ Confirmed
Arsenal	3	Newcastle	5	Fri 25 Apr, 16:30	✅ Confirmed
Man Utd	3	Brentford	4	Sun 27 Apr, 19:00	✅ Confirmed

6 teams blanking: Bournemouth, Brighton, Burnley, Chelsea, Leeds, Man City

The FDR story here is interesting. Sunderland's home FDR of 2 against Forest is the best clean sheet opportunity of the week. Wolves at FDR:2 at home and Liverpool at FDR:3 at home are the standout attacking fixtures. Arsenal host Newcastle (away FDR:5), Man Utd host Brentford (away FDR:4) — both excellent home opportunities for template premiums. Fulham versus Villa is balanced at 3 vs 3 — Craven Cottage tends to produce attacking play.

⚠️ The BGW34 Blankers — Premium Assets You Can't Captain

Before targeting anyone, it's worth knowing exactly who you can't play this week. Most squads are packed with these assets, and BGW34 turns them into 1-point fixtures:

Player	Team	Pos	Price	Season Stats	GW34 Status
Erling Haaland	Man City	FWD	£14.4m	22G 7A, 197 pts	❌ Blanking
João Pedro	Chelsea	FWD	£7.8m	14G 9A, 162 pts	❌ Blanking
Danny Welbeck	Brighton	FWD	£6.2m	12G, xGI 11.56	❌ Blanking

These are the main premium blanking assets — but the good news is that most template players (Saka, Salah, Fernandes, Szoboszlai) all have confirmed GW34 fixtures. If you're heavily invested in Man City, Chelsea, or Brighton, this is the week to pivot.

Use our transfer planner to model your squad's blank coverage before the deadline.

💎 Premium Pick

1. Bruno Fernandes — Man Utd | £10.3m ✅

EP: 11.5 (GW32) | Form: 11.0 | 44.3% TSB | Pos: MID

If the Man Utd vs Brentford fixture is confirmed for GW34, Bruno Fernandes immediately becomes the captain conversation — and it isn't particularly close. He's been the highest-producing midfielder in FPL this season by a significant margin, sitting at 189 total points with 8 goals and 17 assists (25 goal involvements total) in 2,435 minutes.

His EP of 11.5 was the highest of any player in the game in GW32. His form average of 11.0 over five gameweeks shows no signs of slowing. And with an xGI of 19.35, every return is backed by genuine expected output — this isn't a streaky forward, it's sustained elite production from a deep-lying playmaker with set-piece responsibility and a direct role in virtually every Man Utd attacking move.

Man Utd at FDR:3 at home is a very playable fixture in a blank week. Brentford away have often struggled defensively against creative midfielders. The differential angle is gone at 44.3% TSB — but in a BGW, template captaincy decisions are the safe route. If he blanks, so does almost half the game. If he hauls, you don't fall behind.

Key stats:

• 189 total points — highest-scoring midfielder in FPL 2025/26
• 8G 17A in 2,435 minutes — 25 goal involvements
• xGI of 19.35 — most creative midfielder in the league
• EP 11.5 | Form 11.0 — peak form heading into BGW34
• Penalties + set pieces — volume ensures multiple scoring routes

Verdict: Captain candidate and first-name-on-the-teamsheet if Man Utd play. Fernandes's full profile

---

🔥 Mid-Price Targets (£6m–£8.9m)

2. Igor Thiago — Brentford (@ Man Utd) | £7.3m ✅

EP: 7.7 (GW33) | Form: 10.0+ | TSB: Rising | Pos: FWD

Igor Thiago is the most in-form striker in FPL heading into late April. In GW32 he scored 13 points from a home game against Everton — two goals and the clean sheet bonus on top. His EP then rose to 7.7 in GW33, one of the highest forward projections on the entire slate, which reflects both his recent run and FPL's algorithm rewarding his underlying volume.

The FDR:4 for a Brentford away trip to Man Utd is the one caveat worth acknowledging — it's a tougher away test on paper. But Thiago is in the kind of momentum window where FPL assets keep delivering regardless of fixture rating, and Brentford have been capable of punching above their weight on the road. At £7.3m he's not cheap for a Brentford player, but his production rate at this point in the season justifies the price.

If you need a forward for BGW34 and Man Utd's fixture confirms, Thiago beside Fernandes on the same teamsheet is the route-one approach.

Key stats:

• 13 points in GW32 (2G vs Everton)
• EP: 7.7 in GW33 — one of the highest FWD projections
• Consistently involved in Brentford's attacks, physical aerial threat
• Low TSB relative to output — still differential value available

Verdict: Form monster. Essential forward if Brentford fixture confirms. Thiago's profile

---

3. Mateus Cunha — Man Utd | £8.0m ✅

EP: 5.7 (GW32) | Season: 7G 4A | TSB: 8.3% | Pos: MID

The alternative Man Utd midfielder for managers who can't afford Fernandes. Cunha has been quietly excellent — 7 goals and 4 assists in 117 total points with an xG of 5.80 and xA of 2.65, confirming that every return has been earned through genuine shot and chance creation rather than fortuitous deflections.

The case for a Man Utd triple-up (Fernandes + Cunha + Casemiro) is compelling if you can make the budget work. All three operate in the same match — if Man Utd put in a big performance against Brentford at home, multiple Man Utd assets will score.

At £8.0m with 8.3% TSB, Cunha sits in a genuinely differential space relative to his production level. He's outscoring many forwards priced above him and operates as Man Utd's second-most dangerous creative threat behind Fernandes.

Key stats:

• 117 total points | 7G 4A in 1,943 minutes
• 5.80 xG + 2.65 xA = 8.45 xGI — elite underlying involvement
• EP: 5.7 in GW32 | 8.3% TSB
• Partners with Fernandes in Man Utd's attack — same game exposure

Verdict: Best Man Utd second pick. Triple-up material if budget allows. Cunha's full stats

---

4. Ollie Watkins — Aston Villa (@ Fulham) | ~£9.0m ✅

Confirmed GW34 Fixture: Villa at Fulham (FDR:3)

Watkins is the premium Villa asset and the most reliable confirmed starter among GW34's playing clubs. Aston Villa's away trip to Craven Cottage at FDR:3 is a workable fixture — Fulham at home are solid but not impenetrable, and Villa have the attacking quality to open defences on the road.

As Villa's primary striker and penalty taker, Watkins is involved in virtually every Villa attacking move. He's been Villa's main source of FPL points all season, with one of the best expected goals rates among FPL forwards. For managers who need a confirmed-fixture striker and can't wait on the Man Utd/Brentford announcement, Watkins at Villa is the safer starting point.

Check Watkins's current price, EP, and form data via our player database — with GW33 still in play at time of writing, live stats will reflect the most up-to-date position.

Verdict: Confirmed starter with confirmed GW34 fixture. Safe premium hold for BGW34.

---

💰 Budget Gems (Under £6.5m)

5. Alex Iwobi — Fulham (H vs Villa) | £6.4m ✅

EP: 7.5 (BGW31) | Form: 7.0 | TSB: ~3–5% | Pos: MID

Iwobi is Fulham's chief creator — the set-piece taker, the ball progressor, the man who makes things happen at Craven Cottage. In BGW31 against Burnley (FDR 1) he was assigned an EP of 7.5 by FPL's algorithm, a strong projection that reflects his role as the first attacking outlet for everything Fulham build. In a home fixture against Aston Villa at FDR:3, Fulham will need Iwobi at his best, and his form in the second half of the season has been consistent.

At £6.4m with low ownership, he's one of the best differential plays available among confirmed GW34 fixtures. Craven Cottage is a tough ground to visit — Fulham's home record is strong — and an Iwobi goal involvement return here would generate significant rank climb with minimal budget outlay.

Key stats:

• EP: 7.5 in BGW31 (FDR 1 fixture)
• 4 goals, 3 assists across the season | 7.0 form
• Set-piece responsibility + advanced midfield role
• £6.4m | Low TSB = genuine green arrow potential

Verdict: The confirmed differential. Fulham home vs Villa is his stage. Iwobi's stats and shot map

---

6. Harry Wilson — Fulham (H vs Villa) | £6.0m ✅

Pos: MID | Confirmed Fixture | 9G 8A this season

Wilson is Fulham's second attacking weapon and the natural partner to Iwobi in their midfield. His 9 goals and 8 assists this season make him one of the most productive players at that price in the entire FPL pool. He's a goal threat, a set-piece option, and a consistent contributor at Craven Cottage.

In a home match against Villa, both Fulham midfielders are worth considering — the question is whether your budget allows both, or whether you pick one. Iwobi (£6.4m, £0.4m cheaper than some options) is the creator; Wilson is the finisher. In a high-scoring game, both could return.

Check current EP and form figures for Wilson via our player database — filter by Fulham to see all live stats ahead of the GW34 deadline.

Verdict: Second Fulham pick and excellent value at £6.0m if budget allows a double-up.

---

7. Casemiro — Man Utd | £5.7m 🔮

EP: 5.3 (GW32) | Season: 7G 4A | TSB: 3.2% | Pos: MID

FPL's most criminally underowned midfielder. Casemiro has 7 goals and 4 assists at £5.7m — an attacking return rate that most forwards would envy from a central defensive midfielder. His involvement in set pieces, his late runs into the box, and his xGI of 4.66 xG + 2.92 xA all confirm that his returns aren't flukes.

At 3.2% TSB, an EP of 5.3, and a home fixture against Brentford (FDR:4), this is mini-league-winning differential material for the managers willing to back it. The BGW34 context amplifies this — most rivals will be playing expensive blanking assets. A Casemiro goal or assist while half the premium players sit idle is the kind of move that shifts rank dramatically.

He fits the Man Utd triple-up perfectly — Fernandes + Cunha + Casemiro covers three positions at three different price points and keeps budget open for premiums elsewhere.

Key stats:

• 134 total points | 7G 4A in 2,135 minutes — exceptional for a DM
• 4.66 xG + 2.92 xA = strong underlying output
• EP: 5.3 at just £5.7m — best EP:price ratio in BGW34
• 3.2% TSB — maximum rank-boost potential in a blank week

Verdict: The BGW34 differential. Risk worth taking at £5.7m. Casemiro's full profile

---

8. Morgan Gibbs-White — Nottm Forest (@ Sunderland) | £7.5m ✅

EP: 10.0 | Form: 10.0 | Season: 155 pts | Pos: MID

The data point of the week. Gibbs-White's EP of 10.0 and form of 10.0 are among the highest in the game heading into GW34, and he's the most in-form midfielder with a confirmed fixture this blank week. Forest travel to Sunderland on April 24 (away FDR:3), and Gibbs-White's form is at a level where he generates returns regardless of fixture context.

He's been Forest's creative hub all season — set-piece taker, penalty taker, central attacking figure — with 155 total points at £7.5m putting him among the most value-efficient midfielders in the game. For context, an EP of 10.0 rivals premium players priced £3–4m more expensive. At sub-10% TSB, a Gibbs-White return in a blank week generates enormous rank movement.

If you need one BGW34 transfer with confirmed-fixture potential and elite underlying projection, Gibbs-White is the standout pick.

Key stats:

• 155 total points at £7.5m — exceptional season value
• EP: 10.0 | Form: 10.0 — elite form heading into BGW34
• Set-piece and penalty taker for Forest
• Confirmed fixture: Forest @ Sunderland (Thu 24 Apr)
• Sub-10% TSB — serious rank climber if he returns

Verdict: The BGW34 standout midfielder. High-EP, confirmed fixture, differential value. Gibbs-White's profile

---

9. Jarrod Bowen — West Ham (H vs Everton) | £7.7m ✅

EP: 6.0 | Form: 6.0 | Season: 159 pts | TSB: ~9% | Pos: MID

With West Ham's home fixture against Everton confirmed for GW34, Bowen is back in the conversation as a mid-price active asset. He's been West Ham's most productive attacker all season — 8 goals and 10 assists in 159 total points — and contributes regularly even outside premium fixtures.

The FDR here warrants honesty: West Ham's home difficulty is rated 3 and Everton's away difficulty is 2, meaning the algorithm sees this as a comfortable outing for Everton. But Bowen generates volume regardless — he's involved in virtually every West Ham attack, takes set pieces, and combines creative output with direct goal threat. At £7.7m with an EP of 6.0, he's one of the confirmed-fixture mid-price options available in BGW34.

Key stats:

• 159 total points | 8G 10A this season
• EP: 6.0 | Form: 6.0 — steady mid-range output
• West Ham (H) vs Everton (FDR:3) — confirmed GW34 fixture
• Set-piece taker — bonus point involvement likely

Verdict: Reliable confirmed-fixture mid-price. Useful if you need active players over blanking premiums. Bowen's profile

---

🌟 Premium Liverpool & Arsenal Assets

10. Mohamed Salah — Liverpool (H vs Crystal Palace) | £14.0m ✅

EP: 9.5 | Form: 9.0 | Season: 115 pts | 7G 6A | TSB: 14.9% | Pos: MID

The confirmation that Liverpool play in GW34 is excellent news for Salah owners. Liverpool host Crystal Palace at home (away FDR:4 for Palace), which is a fixture that strongly favors the home side. At £14.0m, Salah is the premium Liverpool asset and one of the most proven captaincy options in FPL history.

Salah has 7 goals and 6 assists this season in 115 total points — consistent production from the right wing position that's made him an FPL legend. His EP of 9.5 and form of 9.0 heading into GW34 put him among the top captaincy candidates of the blank week. With an xG of 7.89 and xA of 4.90 (12.79 xGI total), every return is backed by genuine underlying quality.

Liverpool at Anfield against Palace (FDR:3 for Liverpool, FDR:4 for Palace away) should see Liverpool dominate possession and create multiple chances. Salah operates on the right wing, cuts inside onto his left foot, and remains Liverpool's primary attacking outlet. At 14.9% TSB he's partially differential at the premium price point, making him an excellent captaincy option for managers looking to gain rank in BGW34.

Key stats:

• 115 total points | 7G 6A this season
• EP: 9.5 | Form: 9.0 — elite form heading into BGW34
• Liverpool (H) vs Crystal Palace (FDR:3, Palace away FDR:4)
• 7.89 xG + 4.90 xA = 12.79 xGI — proven underlying quality
• 14.9% TSB — differential at premium price tier
• Penalty taker — bonus point magnet

Verdict: Premium Liverpool asset with elite captaincy potential. Differential at £14.0m. Salah's profile

---

11. Dominik Szoboszlai — Liverpool (H vs Crystal Palace) | £7.1m ✅

EP: 5.5 | Form: 5.0 | Season: 133 pts | TSB: ~14% | Pos: MID

Szoboszlai is Liverpool's most consistent midfielder and the budget route into Liverpool's attack for BGW34. At £7.1m with 5 goals and 4 assists in 133 total points, he's been one of the best mid-price midfielders in FPL this season. His EP of 5.5 and form of 5.0 heading into GW34 confirm he's in good output range.

Liverpool at home against Palace (FDR:3 for Liverpool, FDR:4 for Palace away) is exactly the kind of fixture where Liverpool's midfield should dominate. Szoboszlai operates in advanced positions, contributes to set pieces, and gets forward regularly — if Liverpool score multiple goals, he's likely to be involved.

At 14% TSB he's partially differential, making him a useful pick if you want Liverpool exposure without committing to the premium Salah price.

Key stats:

• 133 total points | 5G 4A in 2,602 minutes
• EP: 5.5 | Form: 5.0 — steady mid-price output
• Liverpool (H) vs Crystal Palace — home advantage
• 5.18 xA — strong creative underlying stats

Verdict: Best mid-price Liverpool pick for BGW34. Safe hold or transfer target. Szoboszlai's profile

---

12. Declan Rice — Arsenal (H vs Newcastle) | £7.2m ✅

EP: 4.0 | Form: 3.0 | Season: 169 pts | 4G 9A | TSB: 24.2% | Pos: MID

Declan Rice is Arsenal's most consistent midfielder and the highest-scoring Arsenal asset in FPL this season with 169 total points — even outscoring most forwards. At £7.2m with 4 goals and 9 assists (13 goal involvements), Rice has been exceptional value and a model of consistency with 2,760 minutes played.

Arsenal host Newcastle at home with an away FDR of 5 for Newcastle — the highest difficulty rating of any GW34 fixture, meaning FPL's algorithm sees this as a dominant home win for Arsenal. Rice operates as Arsenal's box-to-box midfielder, getting forward regularly, contributing to set pieces, and providing defensive coverage. His 3.15 xG + 6.83 xA (9.98 xGI total) confirm that every return has been backed by genuine underlying quality.

At 24.2% TSB with an EP of 4.0 and form of 3.0, Rice is a reliable Arsenal pick for BGW34. Against a Newcastle side rated FDR:5 away, Arsenal should dominate, and Rice will be central to their play in both phases.

Key stats:

• 169 total points — highest-scoring Arsenal midfielder in FPL 2025/26
• 4G 9A in 2,760 minutes — 13 goal involvements, fully nailed
• EP: 4.0 | Form: 3.0 — steady reliable output
• 3.15 xG + 6.83 xA = 9.98 xGI — elite underlying stats
• Arsenal (H) vs Newcastle (away FDR:5) — Arsenal heavily favored
• 24.2% TSB — template Arsenal midfielder

Verdict: Arsenal's most reliable midfielder. Proven template hold for BGW34. Rice's profile

---

13. Gabriel — Arsenal (H vs Newcastle) | £7.1m ✅

EP: 3.0 | Season: 177 pts | 3G 5A | TSB: ~43% | Pos: DEF

Gabriel is the highest-scoring defender in FPL this season with 177 total points — he's been exceptional. Arsenal host Newcastle at home (away FDR:5 for Newcastle), which offers both clean sheet potential and set-piece threat. Gabriel has 3 goals and 5 assists from defence, making him one of the most attacking-capable centre-backs in the game.

At £7.1m with 43% TSB he's template, but if you don't own him, BGW34 against Newcastle at home is the perfect fixture to bring him in. Arsenal's defence has been one of the best in the league, and Gabriel's aerial dominance on set pieces adds serious goal threat on top of clean sheet points.

Monitor the team news ahead of the deadline — if Gabriel is passed fit, he's a priority BGW34 target.

Key stats:

• 177 total points — highest-scoring defender in FPL 2025/26
• 3G 5A from centre-back — elite set-piece threat
• EP: 3.0 — solid projection for a defender
• Arsenal (H) vs Newcastle (FDR:5 away) — clean sheet favorite

Verdict: Template defender with confirmed fixture. Priority hold or transfer target. Gabriel's profile

---

🛡️ Defensive Plays

Sunderland at Home (FDR:2 vs Nottm Forest)

The defensive standout of BGW34 is unambiguous. Sunderland at home carry an FDR of 2 against Forest — the best clean sheet probability of any fixture this week. FPL's difficulty rating is calibrated against Forest's attacking threat, and a score of 2 tells you the algorithm expects Sunderland to dominate or at least contain their opponents.

For GK and DEF options in BGW34, Sunderland's defensive assets are the top targets. A Sunderland clean sheet plus any defensive set-piece contribution generates strong points from the budget tier.

Check our player database filtered to Sunderland for current GK and DEF EP and clean sheet probability data.

Key options to explore:

• Sunderland GK (confirmed starter, FDR:2 home fixture)
• Sunderland DEF assets with clean sheet + set-piece potential

---

Fulham at Home (FDR:3 vs Aston Villa)

Fulham's home record makes their goalkeeper and defensive options worth considering for a secondary defensive pick. Craven Cottage has been difficult for visiting sides, and an FDR of 3 for Villa away suggests a balanced but manageable fixture for Fulham's backline.

Bernd Leno (Fulham GK) is the most straightforward defensive target — experienced at FPL clean sheet accumulation and generally a reliable starter.
