It’s another busy week of Premier League action as the season’s climax draws ever nearer. Here, we’ve put together a full squad that you should consider with the next seven days in mind.
Several sides play two fixtures including the likes of Manchester City, Manchester United, Liverpool and Brighton, so that is worth bearing in mind when making your selections.
City can take full command of the title race against Fulham and West Ham, while United and Liverpool are looking to boost their top-four hopes – the latter facing back-to-back home games against Tottenham and Fulham.
With that in mind, we’ve assembled a 15-man squad (within a budget of £100 million) you should be considering, taking into account value, points, performances and fixtures when using your wildcard ahead of another huge week of Premier League action.
Gameweek 34 Wildcard picks
Alisson (£5.4m)
FPL points so far: 134
Fixtures: Tottenham (H), Fulham (H)
Back-to-back home fixtures will allow Liverpool the opportunity to continue their strong form at Anfield, where they have collected seven of their 11 clean sheets this season.
Meanwhile, Alisson is the second top-scoring goalkeeper in home matches this term, claiming 80 points at an average of 5.3 points per appearance.
Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.5m)
FPL points so far: 120
Fixtures: Tottenham (H), Fulham (H)
Inspired by a move into central midfield under Jurgen Klopp, Alexander-Arnold has registered five assists in his last four appearances.
Therefore, the England international should be one of the first names on your teamsheet for this gameweek.
John Stones (£5.5m)
FPL points so far: 82
Fixtures: Fulham (A), West Ham United (H)
Like Alexander-Arnold, Stones’ attacking numbers in recent times have improved following a switch to midfield.
A scorer in City’s last two Premier League fixtures and a constant threat at set-pieces, he will be confident of building on that momentum with his side on the charge.
Pervis Estupinan (£4.8m)
FPL points so far: 90
Fixtures: Wolves (H), Manchester United (H)
Estupinan has demonstrated his value at both ends of the pitch this season, with five assists and seven clean sheets, while he has created 36 chances.
Take into account that seven of Brighton’s nine clean sheets this term have come on home soil, he is a fairly safe bet.
Kieran Trippier (£6.2m)
FPL points so far: 175
Fixture: Southampton (H)
Trippier has been the best-performing defender in FPL this season and with high-flying Newcastle scoring 10 times in their last two fixtures, the skipper will want to play another influential role against bottom side Southampton.
Jack Grealish (£7.2m)
FPL points so far: 113
Fixtures: Fulham (A), West Ham United (H)
Grealish has remained a constant in City’s starting XI despite regular rotation from Pep Guardiola, whose side are chasing the treble.
Indeed, the England winger has started each of their last 13 Premier League games, scoring three times and registering five assists during that span.
Solly March (£5.2m)
FPL points so far: 144
Fixtures: Wolves (H), Manchester United (H)
March has created a league-high 22 chances in the Premier League across the last six gameweeks.
Meanwhile, he has only drawn an FPL blank once in his last six appearances, scoring 34 points with a goal and four assists.
Kaoru Mitoma (£5.6m)
FPL points so far: 116
Fixtures: Wolves (H), Manchester United (H)
Mitoma tends to produce his best on home soil, where he has blanked only one in Brighton’s last seven such games.
During that time, he has racked up 52 points, scoring four goals while providing three assists.
Callum Wilson (£6.9m)
FPL points so far: 116
Fixture: Southampton (H)
Wilson has scored three goals in Newcastle’s last two games, including a brilliant brace at Goodison Park on Thursday.
The Magpies’ number one will be confident of building on that when his side entertain struggling Southampton at St James’ Park.
Mohamed Salah (£13m)
FPL points so far: 189
Fixtures: Tottenham (H), Fulham (H)
One of the form players of recent weeks, Salah has racked up 28 points – scoring four goals – in his last four appearances.
The Liverpool talisman will fancy continuing in that vein with Tottenham conceding 15 times in their last five away games, and Fulham without a clean sheet on the road in four attempts.
Erling Haaland (£12.3m)
FPL points so far: 241
Fixtures: Fulham (A), West Ham United (H)
This week’s record-breaker, Haaland scored his 33rd Premier League goal of the season against Arsenal – the highest tally in a 38-match campaign.
Following his goal and two assists against the Gunners, he has registered three straight double-figure tallies, and you would fully expect him to pick up where he left off here.
David de Gea (£5.4m)
FPL points so far: 126
Fixtures: Aston Villa (H), Brighton (A)
Aaron Wan-Bissaka (£4.3m)
FPL points so far: 50
Fixtures: Aston Villa (H), Brighton (A)
Anthony Martial (£6.3m)
FPL points so far: 45
Fixtures: Aston Villa (H), Brighton (A)
Andreas Pereira (£4.4m)
FPL points so far: 122
Fixtures: Manchester City (H), Liverpool (A)
