Let’s dive straight into our top captain picks for Gameweek 34.
Best FPL Captain Picks for Gameweek 34
Bruno Fernandes (Manchester United, £10.3m)
The extraordinary thing about Bruno Fernandes this season is that, regardless of whether Manchester United wins, draws or loses a game, he still manages to end the match with returns in FPL. This is a testament to how magnificent he has been this season. With United facing Brentford at home in Gameweek 34, Fernandes surely does look like one of the best FPL captains for this week in current form.
Rayan Cherki (Manchester City, £6.4m)
Speaking of form, Rayan Cherki is currently in the form of his life. The Citizens bought him after being unable to sign Florian Wirtz, who preferred to join Liverpool. However, City seem to have the final laugh now, with Wirtz struggling at Liverpool and Cherki thriving for the Citizens. Cherki has direct goal contributions in City's last 4 games, and with Burnley next in Gameweek 34, he is definitely one of the best FPL differential captains for the week.
Ollie Watkins (Aston Villa, £8.6m)
Ollie Watkins was phenomenal for Aston Villa in their thrilling 4-3 comeback victory over Sunderland. The English striker put in a man of the match performance that saw him help Villa score 3 of their 4 goals in the game. With Watkins being in such top form, and Villa facing a struggling Fulham side, we have decided to go with him as one of the best FPL captain picks for this week.
Erling Haaland (Manchester City, £14.5m)
Erling Haaland is arguably the best FPL captain to pick this week, as Manchester City are in terrific form right now and they'll also face Burnley in Gameweek 34. The Norwegian striker has been really impressive for City in recent weeks,and looks likely to end the season on a huge high. Unless you have doubts on him, he'd probably be the best captain this week.
Danny Welbeck (Welbeck, £6.3m)
If you want to go against the popular choices and instead go for a bold pick, then Danny Welbeck is our selection of best differential FPL captain for the week. Welbeck is a player that usually performs well against strong opposition, and Chelsea are also in one of their worst runs in a long time. Thus, the circumstances are favourable for Welbeck to give you a great return here.
Selecting the right captain in Gameweek 34 can significantly influence both your weekly score and overall rank. With several strong options available, the key is to back players in consistent form who also have favourable fixtures, two factors that greatly improve the chances of big returns. The picks mentioned above stand out for their reliability, attacking intent, and proven ability to deliver when it counts.
Before locking in your decision, take a moment to assess your squad balance, long-term plans, and appetite for risk. Whether you opt for a safe, highly-owned captain or take a punt on a differential, your choice could define your entire Gameweek. Get it right, and Gameweek 34 could provide the momentum you need to climb the Fantasy Premier League standings.
