Team Reveal for Gameweek 34 (Subject to Change)

GW33 was another decent week for me. There I climbed to an OR of ~7k thanks to clean sheets from Đorđe Petrović and Malo Gusto.
In case you’ve missed any of my previous content, I’m playing my Free Hit in DGW34.
In goal, I’m opting for one of Jordan Pickford or Dean Henderson. The England number one is currently getting the nod. My decision will ultimately come down to whether I double up on Liverpool defenders. If so, Henderson is likely to get the spot given Crystal Palace’s favourable fixtures.
In defence, Virgil Van Dijk and Gabriel are both nailed in my team, with Arsenal’s Champions League exit at the hands of Bayern Munich hopefully putting paid to murmurings of defensive rotation in the DGW.
My third defender slot is one that will go down to the wire this week. I’d like to have Trent Alexander-Arnold. However, a start against Atalanta in the Europa League makes me slightly nervous about his minutes across the DGW and for that reason, I’m leaning towards Daniel Muñoz for now.
Kai Havertz, Bukayo Saka and Mohamed Salah are all locked in my team as well. Salah is also my captain.
My fourth midfield spot will likely go to Eberechi Eze, who should have penalties and greater security of minutes over Michael Olise, who otherwise shades things stats wise among Crystal Palace midfielders.
My fifth midfield selection is also likely to be a late call. Doubling up on Liverpool attacking coverage seems sensible given their fixtures. So, I’ve currently gone for Luis Díaz. However, as with Trent, I’m slightly wary of rotation given Díaz’s start in the Europa League.
Upfront, Dominic Solanke is joined by either Matheus Cunha or Jean-Philippe Mateta. While Crystal Palace’s DGW fixtures are good, their expected stats is not fantastic. So, my current thinking is to spread the risk and select Cunha over Mateta, who sits first on my bench.
The rest of my bench includes Neto, Rayan Aït-Nouri (if fit) and Marcos Senesi. Although, I’m not expecting to call on them this week.
