Fantasy Premier League managers are bracing for a blank gameweek 34, with popular assets from Manchester City, Bournemouth, and Chelsea all sidelined. This week, many will deploy their Free Hit chip, targeting Manchester United and Liverpool, who host Brentford and Crystal Palace respectively.
However, caution is advised: United lost their last home game to a relegation-threatened side, and Liverpool's FPL prospects have been inconsistent this season. The team of the week is selected based on current FPL prices to fit within a £100m budget, as if playing a Free Hit.
Teams without a match in gameweek 34: Bournemouth, Brighton, Burnley, Chelsea, Leeds United, Manchester City.
Last week's team managed 95 points, hindered by Diego Gomez and Cole Palmer missing games.

Goalkeeper & Defence
Freddie Woodman (Liverpool, £3.9m) vs Crystal Palace (H) If you're on a Free Hit, this budget gem is a must. With Alisson out and Mamardashvili likely injured, Woodman gets you Liverpool's defence at home for under £4m.
Virgil van Dijk (Liverpool, £6.2m) vs Crystal Palace (H) Palace have a huge European semi-final against Shakhtar Donetsk five days later, so back Liverpool's defence for a clean sheet.
