<h2>Gameweek 34 review</h2>
<p><strong>Points: </strong>106 (-4)</p>
<p><strong>Overall rank: </strong>66k (so far)</p>
<p><strong>Red/green arrow: </strong>Green</p>
<p>Tight turnarounds and illness gave me an untimely benching in respect of content the last two weeks. But a mighty climb up the ranks has followed!</p>
<p>After an underwhelming <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/my-team/freehit">Free Hit</a> left me at 130k, gameweek 33 got me 80 points, resulting in me storming into the top 100k to 84k.</p>
<p>So far this week, despite the <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/what-is-the-fpl-bench-boost-and-when-to-use-it">Bench Boost</a> being underwhelming, I&#8217;m on 106 points, with five players to go.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Double and blank gameweeks</h2>
<p>We have two more double gameweeks to go. Brighton and Newcastle double in 36, with Brighton, Chelsea, Manchester City and Manchester United all doubling in 37.</p>
<p>With all of that in mind, I&#8217;ll be thinking about these teams when considering my transfers and also my chip strategy moving forward.</p>

<h2>Using FPL Points as a Metric: The data</h2>
<h3>Goalkeepers</h3>
<div id="attachment_54471" style="width: 963px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-54471" class="wp-image-54471 size-full" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Screenshot-2023-05-04-at-10.33.17.jpg" alt="" width="953" height="336" srcset="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Screenshot-2023-05-04-at-10.33.17.jpg 953w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Screenshot-2023-05-04-at-10.33.17-300x106.jpg 300w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Screenshot-2023-05-04-at-10.33.17-768x271.jpg 768w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Screenshot-2023-05-04-at-10.33.17-610x215.jpg 610w" sizes="(max-width: 953px) 100vw, 953px" /><p id="caption-attachment-54471" class="wp-caption-text">FPL points &#8211; goalkeepers</p></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Southampton have conceded the most FPL points to opposition goalkeepers so far this season, with West Ham, Nottingham Forest, Crystal Palace and Everton making up the five teams conceding the most FPL points to opposition goalkeepers.</p>
<p>Newcastle have scored the most FPL points in the goalkeeper position. Brentford, Liverpool, Wolves and Aston Villa make up the others.</p>
<p>I have two goalkeepers with doubles left and as such, I&#8217;m set on them for the season. <strong>David de Gea (£5m) </strong>would be someone I&#8217;m considering if I needed one though.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Defenders</h3>
<div id="attachment_54472" style="width: 964px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-54472" class="wp-image-54472 size-full" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Screenshot-2023-05-04-at-10.33.30.jpg" alt="" width="954" height="337" srcset="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Screenshot-2023-05-04-at-10.33.30.jpg 954w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Screenshot-2023-05-04-at-10.33.30-300x106.jpg 300w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Screenshot-2023-05-04-at-10.33.30-768x271.jpg 768w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Screenshot-2023-05-04-at-10.33.30-610x215.jpg 610w" sizes="(max-width: 954px) 100vw, 954px" /><p id="caption-attachment-54472" class="wp-caption-text">FPL points &#8211; defenders</p></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Southampton are conceding the most FPL points to opposition defenders.</p>
<p>West Ham, Palace, Wolves and Bournemouth complete the top five conceding the most FPL points to opposition defenders.</p>
<p>Spurs, Arsenal, Newcastle, United and Liverpool are the teams with defenders scoring the most FPL points.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll be potentially looking at shipping out a Brentford defender at some point, but I&#8217;m pretty happy starting<strong> Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.6m)</strong>, <strong>Pervis Estupinan (£4.9m)</strong> and <strong>Kieran Trippier (£6.1m)</strong> for the remainder of the season if required.</p>
<p><strong>Luke Shaw (£5.1m) </strong>is on the radar if I do need a defender, with good individual fixtures and a decent-looking double.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Midfielders</h3>
<div id="attachment_54473" style="width: 962px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-54473" class="wp-image-54473 size-full" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Screenshot-2023-05-04-at-10.33.47.jpg" alt="" width="952" height="339" srcset="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Screenshot-2023-05-04-at-10.33.47.jpg 952w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Screenshot-2023-05-04-at-10.33.47-300x107.jpg 300w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Screenshot-2023-05-04-at-10.33.47-768x273.jpg 768w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Screenshot-2023-05-04-at-10.33.47-610x217.jpg 610w" sizes="(max-width: 952px) 100vw, 952px" /><p id="caption-attachment-54473" class="wp-caption-text">FPL points &#8211; midfielders</p></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Leeds are conceding the most FPL points to opposition midfielders. Forest, Southampton, Bournemouth and Everton make up the five.</p>
<p>Ideally, I want midfielders facing these teams.</p>
<p>The teams who have the highest-scoring midfield units are Brighton,  City, Newcastle, Arsenal and United.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m pretty well set for midfielders but rotation may rear its head for City with their involvement in the Champions League. I&#8217;m not planning on a midfielder move this week but early team news could affect that.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Forwards</h3>
<div id="attachment_54474" style="width: 959px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-54474" class="wp-image-54474 size-full" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Screenshot-2023-05-04-at-10.33.57.jpg" alt="" width="949" height="337" srcset="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Screenshot-2023-05-04-at-10.33.57.jpg 949w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Screenshot-2023-05-04-at-10.33.57-300x107.jpg 300w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Screenshot-2023-05-04-at-10.33.57-768x273.jpg 768w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Screenshot-2023-05-04-at-10.33.57-610x217.jpg 610w" sizes="(max-width: 949px) 100vw, 949px" /><p id="caption-attachment-54474" class="wp-caption-text">FPL points &#8211; forwards</p></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Leeds are conceding the most FPL points to opposition forwards.</p>
<p>Fulham, Wolves, Everton, Bournemouth and Leicester are the other sides making up the most-obliging teams.</p>
<p>City, Brentford, Spurs, Liverpool and Forest are the teams with forwards scoring the most FPL points.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m leaving a Newcastle spot open in case I decide to add <strong>Callum Wilson (£6.9m) </strong>to <strong>Alexander Isak (£6.9m)</strong> up top.</p>
<p><strong>Julian Alvarez (£6m) </strong>is another option, if he continues to start, but I&#8217;d have to lose a City asset to do this.</p>
<h3>Points per game data</h3>
<div id="attachment_54476" style="width: 645px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-54476" class="wp-image-54476 size-full" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Screenshot-2023-05-04-at-10.34.45.jpg" alt="" width="635" height="571" srcset="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Screenshot-2023-05-04-at-10.34.45.jpg 635w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Screenshot-2023-05-04-at-10.34.45-300x270.jpg 300w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Screenshot-2023-05-04-at-10.34.45-610x549.jpg 610w" sizes="(max-width: 635px) 100vw, 635px" /><p id="caption-attachment-54476" class="wp-caption-text">FPL points data &#8211; teams</p></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I look at this table to target specific fixtures and to see how teams are performing home and away.</p>
<p>For my transfer targets and captaincy in any given week, I&#8217;ll be looking at how their opponents perform either at home or away.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Rich Ps&#8217;s Using FPL Points as a Metric team Gameweek 35 Squad</h2>
<p>Prior to any potential transfers, I&#8217;m set up like this:</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-54477 aligncenter" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Screenshot-2023-05-04-at-11.14.57.jpg" alt="" width="589" height="676" srcset="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Screenshot-2023-05-04-at-11.14.57.jpg 589w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Screenshot-2023-05-04-at-11.14.57-261x300.jpg 261w" sizes="(max-width: 589px) 100vw, 589px" /></p>
<h3></h3>
<h3>Captaincy</h3>
<p>When looking at the Hub&#8217;s <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/predictions">Points Prediction tool,</a> we see Haaland top of the charts:</p>
<div id="attachment_54478" style="width: 641px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-54478" class="wp-image-54478 size-full" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Screenshot-2023-05-04-at-11.16.24.jpg" alt="" width="631" height="665" srcset="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Screenshot-2023-05-04-at-11.16.24.jpg 631w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Screenshot-2023-05-04-at-11.16.24-285x300.jpg 285w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Screenshot-2023-05-04-at-11.16.24-610x643.jpg 610w" sizes="(max-width: 631px) 100vw, 631px" /><p id="caption-attachment-54478" class="wp-caption-text">Fantasy Football Hub predicted points</p></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Be sure to check back later in the week, as these figures can change as new information emerges.</p>
<p>As it stands, I can&#8217;t see past <strong>Erling </strong><strong>Haaland (£12.4m)</strong> as captain. If we get news that he is benched, I can switch to <strong>Marcus Rashford (£7.2m)</strong>.</p>
<p>I hope you’ve found this interesting, and it would be great to hear your thoughts on it.</p>
