We have a reduced fixture list in Gameweek 34 with four teams not playing, which presents a problem for FPL managers.
Arsenal and Manchester City are among the teams not involved, though their players had a double in Gameweek 33, which has pushed many towards Free Hit.
<a href="https://www.squawka.com/">Squawka</a> have taken the five players with over 100,000 transfers in for GW34 to see whether it’s worth following the trends, or looking elsewhere.

<h4>Matheus Cunha</h4>

Matheus Cunha recently missed four games due to suspension, but he’s returned with a bang. 
The Brazilian has one goal and a fantasy assist in his past two matches, and Wolves have already-relegated Leicester this weekend.
In those two games, Cunha averaged 2.48 shots per 90 minutes with 1.65 on target, the latter more than any Wolves player. 
He also created 2.48 chances per 90, in the top three among Wolves players. In terms of his finishing, Cunha has posted an Expected Goals total of 0.47, with 0.5 xG on Target. 
That’s a decent shot placement ratio of 1.06. Against a Leicester side averaging 2.1 xGOT conceded per game this season, Cunha looks set to thrive. Sign.

<h4>Bryan Mbeumo</h4>

<h4>Transfers in: 146k</h4>
</li>
</ul>
Bryan Mbeumo comes into Blank Gameweek 34 off the back of an 18-point haul against Brighton, scoring two with one assist. 
He’s in top form and an obvious choice in terms of guaranteed starters in Gameweek 34.
Brentford have Nottingham Forest away from home – and they don’t play until May 1st.
In his four games in April, Mbeumo was directly involved in four goals, scoring three with one assist.
 He posted 2.25 shots with 1 on target per 90, and 2.75 chances created. Mbeumo also has a shot placement ratio of 1.49 across this period. 
But Nottingham Forest average 1.18 goals conceded per game this season, with 1.31 xG conceded. On Free Hit in particular, it&#8217;s arguably an avoid.

<h4>Chris Wood</h4>

<h4>Transfers in: 120k</h4>
</li>
</ul>
Chris Wood ended a long run without a goal last time out, having failed to score in his previous five appearances. 
He also missed two more matches in that time due to injury. The question is, will he build on the momentum from that goal?
Since returning from injury, Wood has played 166 minutes of Forest’s past two games, but he hasn’t really been involved. 
His goal against Tottenham came with his only shot across the past two matches. 
That’s 0.54 shots (and shots on target) per 90. And it came from just 0.06 xG per 90, with a shot placement ratio of 6.64! That’s not sustainable. Avoid.

<h4>Transfers in: 120k</h4>
</li>
</ul>
The only defender with over 100,000 transfers in for Blank Gameweek 34, Rayan Ait-Nouri is being backed with Wolves taking on Leicester. 
Even if they weren’t facing Leicester, Ait-Nouri is in good form, taking 29 points from his four games in April so far. He’s got two clean sheets and two goal involvements during that time.
Ait-Nouri has been a creative master across Wolves’ past four games, averaging 3.07 chances created per 90 and 0.42 Expected Assists per 90. 
Only Pablo Sarabia has a higher xA per 90 than Ait-Nouri for Wolves in that time. 
Wolves have also only conceded 0.56 goals per 90 with Ait-Nouri on the pitch in their past four games. 
They face a Leicester side averaging just 2.91 shots on target per game this season &#8211; from 8.82 shots per game! Sign.

<h4>Harvey Barnes</h4>

</li>
</ul>
Harvey Barnes is the most in-form player in the Premier League right now. He’s been directly involved in a goal in each of his past six Premier League games, with Newcastle winning five of those. 
Even when they lost to Aston Villa last time out, Barnes assisted Newcastle’s only goal. 
During that six-game run, Barnes has averaged 0.7 goals and 0.53 assists per 90, sitting first and second among Newcastle players. 
He also leads Newcastle for shots per 90 at 3.33, while his 1.05 shots on target per 90 places Barnes second. 
The Englishman is also finishing well, with a shot placement ratio of 1.46 – upping his 0.55 xG to 0.8 xGOT, both highs for Newcastle. 
Against an Ipswich side averaging 2.04 xGOT conceded per game, Barnes could score big. Sign.
