FPL blank gameweek 34 tips: Capatain Mohamed Salah, pick Harry Wilson and Dominic Solanke

Freddie Woodman, Liverpool, £3.9m – Crystal Palace (h)

If you’re on a free hit this week then you can’t turn down this budget gem.

With Alisson out and Giorgi Mamardashvili likely injured too, Woodman gives you a piece of Liverpool’s defence, at home, for less than £4m.

Virgil van Dijk, Liverpool, £6.2m – Crystal Palace (h)

Given Palace will have their eyes on their huge European semi-final against Shakhtar Donetsk five days after this game, backing Liverpool’s defence is a safe bet.

Will Palace manager Oliver Glasner rest the likes of Ismaila Sarr and Jean Philippe-Mateta again? There’s a high chance.

Van Dijk, surprisingly given Liverpool’s defensive struggles at times, is the second-highest scoring defender this season.

Goal threat and facing a distracted Palace side – Van Dijk is perhaps the easiest pick this week.

Gabriel, £7.1m & William Saliba, £6.1m, Arsenal – Newcastle (h)

Arsenal need to bounce back from four straight domestic defeats. Luckily for them they face a Newcastle side also in turgid form.

With no Arsenal attacking assets really worth a punt at the moment, you can put your faith in their trusty defence.
