Here's the top five most transferred in players ahead of Blank Gameweek 34 according to the Transfer Analytics tool.
Why managers are buying Cunha:
Matheus Cunha (£6.9m) is emerging as a popular differential. In just 109 minutes of recent action, he’s delivered 15 FPL points, including a goal, an assist, and 5 bonus points. Upcoming fixtures against Leicester (H), Man City (A), and Brighton (H) are mixed, but his penalty box involvement and attacking intent make him a solid short-term punt, especially for those using the Free Hit chip this week.
Why Mateta is being sold:
Jean-Philippe Mateta has no fixture in Gameweek 34. Despite notching 2 goals and 20 points in his last 254 minutes, managers are moving him on due to the blank. His upcoming games—Nottingham Forest (H) and Spurs (A)—aren’t particularly appealing either.
Why Marmoush is being replaced:
Like Mateta, Omar Marmoush also blanks in GW34. He’s posted 1 goal and created 2 big chances in his last 352 minutes, and his xFPL of 21.44 suggests he’s been unlucky. With Wolves (H) and Southampton (A) to follow, managers could regret selling - unless they're using their Free Hit chip.
Why Palmer is a hot pick:
Cole Palmer (£10.6m) continues to offer strong value with penalty duties and attacking threat despite his drop off in FPL points per game since Gameweek 22.
His upcoming fixtures ares: Everton (H), Liverpool (H), and Newcastle (A). While his recent output is limited—just 1 assist in 211 minutes—his high xFPL of 10.59 highlights his underlying potential.
Why Saka is on the chopping block:
Bukayo Saka also blanks in GW34. With only 4 points from his last 159 minutes, and a tough GW36 fixture against Liverpool (A), managers are reluctantly parting ways—at least temporarily if on Free Hit.
Why Aït-Nouri is on the rise:
Rayan Aït-Nouri (£5.0m) is proving to be the standout defender option for managers using the Free Hit chip, appearing in most drafts.
In his last 240 minutes, he’s delivered 1 goal, 1 assist, and a clean sheet—totalling 21 FPL points. He faces Leicester (H), Man City (A), and Brighton (H) in the coming gameweeks.
Why Saliba is being sold:
William Saliba also misses GW34 and has kept just 1 clean sheet in his last 360 minutes. Arsenal’s fixtures toughen up, and many managers are reallocating funds to defenders with more immediate returns.
Why Robinson is gaining interest:
Antonee Robinson (£4.8m) plays in Gameweek 34 and offers a reliable, low-cost route into a Fulham defence that faces Southampton (H), Aston Villa (A), and Everton (H).
He’s not delivered major points recently (just 3 in 270 minutes), but his consistent starts and price make him a viable option.
Why Muñoz is being replaced:
Daniel Muñoz also blanks this week and has conceded 13 goals in his last 450 minutes. While he’s chipped in with a goal and a clean sheet, FPL managers are opting for safer picks with guaranteed minutes in GW34.
Blank Gameweek 34 could be a turning point in the Fantasy Premier League season. With several teams not in action, it’s a great chance to gain ground—if you target players with strong form, favourable fixtures, and guaranteed minutes.
Be sure to keep an eye on the Elite XI: Team Reveal managers as they continue to tweak their Free Hit drafts in response to the latest press conference updates ahead of the deadline.
