Welcome back to the FPL Lounge! The lads are back to preview GW34.

The double last GW means a blank this GW as the FA Cup semi-finals take place, keeping some teams out of action.

With few other major free hit opportunities this season it seems a vast majority of managers are on their free hit this week - and as such the usual longer term radar has less use. So, its a game by game review of the best available assets this gameweek - akin to our usual gw38 shows. This should help you with the multiple moves you'll be making across your team.

At the end, there is a quick summary of who might work for those not able to free hit - good options for this week that can last in your team longer term too.

With transfers dominated by the free hit, the lads will be laying out honey traps again this gameweek. Captaincy is a very intriguing one. A number of goalscorers have good fixtures this gameweek and as the season comes to its climax, for many its time to start rolling the dice!

The lads end, as ever, with a little game they like to call Who The Heck Is Stat?!

Do let the guys know on X (fka Twitter), Insta, Threads or TikTok, @FPL_Lounge, and the lads are now on BlueSky too, but without the underscore: @FPLLounge. Be sure to subscribe wherever you get your pods, so you always get new episodes in advance of the Gameweek deadline!
