There&#8217;s a slightly quieter FPL weekend ahead, with just eight games taking place in Gameweek 29.
Four teams have a blank gameweek due to the Carabao Cup final &#8211; and one of those is Liverpool.
That’s caused a dilemma for FPL managers, with many struggling to field a full starting XI.

<h3>Bruno Fernandes</h3>
<ul>
<li aria-level="1">Price: £8.4m</li>
<li aria-level="1">Transfers in: 241k</li>
</ul>
The most transferred-in player ahead of Gameweek 29 so far is Bruno Fernandes, with the Manchester United skipper a popular choice for the trip to Leicester.
The Portugal midfielder is in fantastic form, with 29 points in his past three matches – scoring in two and providing two assists in the other. 
Two of those three matches have been at home, however. So how has Fernandes fared on the road?
Manchester United have played four away league games in 2025, and Fernandes has played every minute. 
He’s scored one goal and provided one assist, in separate matches. He&#8217;s also averaged two shots per 90 minutes across those four matches, with 0.75 per 90 on target. 
Creatively, Fernandes has created 2.75 chances per 90 and 0.5 big chances. 
Fernandes&#8217; shot placement ratio is low at 0.59, hurting his chances of scoring with poor finishing. 
But opponents Leicester have faced over 1.0 Expected Goals on Target in each of their past five home league games, so expect him to do well in this one.

<h3>Chris Wood</h3>
<ul>
<li aria-level="1">Price: £7.3m</li>
<li aria-level="1">Transfers in: 193k</li>
</ul>
Nottingham Forest players are proving very popular this week, with a good fixture against Ipswich.
Chris Wood has blanked in his past two league games, but they did come against Manchester City and Arsenal. 
Forest are on the road this weekend, but Ipswich are the second-worst home side in the league this season. 
Wood is on an interesting run away from home this year. The New Zealand striker has scored two goals and provided one assist in his four away league games, missing only two minutes of action. 
However, he’s averaged just 1.01 shots per 90 minutes, with 0.5 of those shots on target. So the volume of chances hasn&#8217;t really been there.
Wood’s finishing has been good though, with the Forest man boasting a shot placement ratio of 3.13.

<h3>Justin Kluivert</h3>
<ul>
<li aria-level="1">Price: £6.2m</li>
<li aria-level="1">Transfers win: 153k</li>
</ul>
Justin Kluivert has attacking returns in three of his past four league games, and they all came away from home. 
At the Vitality Stadium, the Dutchman hasn’t been as effective, with Bournemouth hosting Brentford this weekend.
Kluivert has scored 12 league goals this season, with only two of those coming on home turf. His assist numbers drop from four to two at home as well. 
His shooting numbers aren’t much different, with 2.94 per 90 in away games, compared to 2.42 at home. It’s the same for shots on target at 1.47 per 90 (away) to 1.21 per 90 (home).
There appears to be something about playing at the Vitality that stops the ball going in the net for Kluivert, but he also has penalties to fall back on.

<h3>Ola Aina</h3>
<ul>
<li aria-level="1">Price: £5.3m</li>
<li aria-level="1">Transfers in: 122k</li>
</ul>
The second Forest player in this list, Ola Aina represents Nuno Espirito Santo&#8217;s side at the other end of the pitch.
 Forest have won their past two league games without conceding, but they’ve lost their past three away from home, conceding 11 goals across those matches. Before that however, Forest had kept three consecutive clean sheets on the road. 
When Aina has been on the pitch away from home this season, Forest have conceded 1.55 goals per 90 minutes, and Ipswich have scored in their past two home league game.
In Aina&#8217;s case you are likely relying on the clean sheet points, as the Nigerian has averaged just 0.37 chances created away from home in the Premier League this season &#8211; creating one assist.
Other Forest defenders could be better options if you need the cash saving, considering Aina&#8217;s lack of consistent attacking threat.
