<h2>FPL Blank Gameweek 34 fixtures</h2>
<p>Six teams are not playing this week - Manchester City, Chelsea, Brighton, Burnley, Bournemouth and Leeds.</p>
<p>That leaves just seven fixtures for FPL managers to target and it's West Ham who top the Hub's <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/fixture-ticker">fixture ticker</a>, at home to Everton.</p>
<p>Liverpool are one of the top teams in action and their match against Crystal Palace (H) ranks second alongside Sunderland's, who host Nottingham Forest.</p>
<p>FPL managers will be keen to target league leaders Arsenal. Their game against Newcastle (H) is not the strongest on paper according to the ticker but recent form is not in the Magpies' favour.</p>
<p>And with Wolves now officially relegated, they could have difficulties against a Spurs side fighting for survival. Whether FPL teams are filled with the maximum three Spurs picks remains to be seen though.</p>

</div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Looking at the market projections, the teams to target for goals are Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester United.</p>
<p>The Red Devils play Brentford (H) as they seek to cement their push for Champions League qualification.</p>
<p>The chance of a clean sheet in any game is not particularly high, however Arsenal lead the way on 38%, with Liverpool second on 36%.</p>

<h2>FPL Blank Gameweek 34 predicted points</h2>
<p>With usual chart topper <strong>Erling Haaland </strong>out of the picture this week, it's <strong>Gabriel </strong>who leads the way in the Hub AI's <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/predictions">predicted points</a> top 10.</p>
<p>The Arsenal centre-back has a narrow advantage over <strong>Bruno Fernandes</strong>, who will likely be the captaincy choice of the masses.</p>
<p><strong>Virgil van Dijk </strong>is the second of three defenders in the top 10, which includes West Ham's <strong>Konstantinos Mavropanos</strong>.</p>
<p>Minutes risk <strong>Alexander Isak </strong>and <strong>Dominic Solanke </strong>are the only two forwards in the top 10, with midfielders occupying the remaining positions.</p>

<h2>Should the Free Hit be used in Blank Gameweek 34?</h2>
<p>For many, the decision over whether or not to play the Free Hit will be set.</p>
<p>Those who heavily targeted Double Gameweek 33 will have very few players available this week.</p>
<p>But others may be in a more balanced position and already have nine or 10 active players before making transfers.</p>
<p>In this case, getting through the blank will be possible without using the Free Hit - and if still in hand, Double Gameweek 36 is an alternative time to use it should it be confirmed.</p>
<h2>Best FPL Blank Gameweek 34 Free Hit team</h2>
<p>Here are the AI's current selections for a Free Hit team:</p>
<p><strong>Freddie Woodman </strong>- A budget goalkeeper with a good chance of a clean sheet, presuming Liverpool's other keepers are not fit as expected.</p>
<p><strong>Gabriel </strong>- Expected to be among the first names on the teamsheet for free hitters given Arsenal's defensive strength and set-piece threat.</p>
<p><strong>William Saliba </strong>- The next most reliable starter in the Gunners' back four, with a double up aiming to benefit from this week's leading clean sheet opportunity.</p>
<p><strong>Virgil van Dijk </strong>- Another defender who combines clean sheet potential and attacking threat. Up to four goals for the season, joint second best in his position behind <strong>Nico O'Reilly</strong>.</p>
<p><strong>Konstantinos Mavropanos - </strong>Scored twice in Gameweek 32, taking his goal tally to three. Joint sixth for defensive contributions among defenders on 28 points.</p>
