In a blank gameweek, here's who to pick - FPL team of the week

"The key is not to panic. My two main tips are: 1) Keep hold of your Free Hit if possible. We will have double gameweeks in 33 and 36 and a blank in 34 so it will be vital to navigate. 2) Don't be afraid of playing 10 or even nine players - it's sometimes better to take a zero than spend -4 points on a player who you might not really want just to get 11 players out."

"Joachim Andersen, Fulham, 4.5m - Burnley (h) There aren't many clean sheets jumping out this week but Fulham at home to struggling Burnley seems as good a chance as any. And Andersen is a defensive contributions points (defcon) monster, having returned in 17 of 27 starts - the third best tally in the league. So picking him gives you a high floor - he'll probably get four points at least - and a decent clean sheet opportunity."

Fantasy Premier League managers face a blank gameweek with Arsenal, Manchester City, Crystal Palace, and Wolves unavailable. The primary strategy involves retaining Free Hits for upcoming double gameweeks in weeks 33 and 36, with a blank in week 34. Playing 10 or 9 players is preferable to spending -4 transfer points acquiring players you don't genuinely want. Holding Manchester City and Crystal Palace players is crucial since they will have double gameweeks. The recommended team is built within a 100-million budget framework. Captain Bruno Fernandes scored 20 points, though the triple Arsenal defence underperformed. Defensive options like Aaron Ramsdale, Joachim Andersen, and Malick Thiaw are highlighted for their potential value and clean sheet opportunities.
