Fantasy Premier League (FPL) is an online game where players from around the world build a team consisting of 15 players. You get to field a team of 11 players each week and choose a captain. You can make transfers every week to bring in new players who seem to be in form. Your players give you points depending on their performance in the game and how crucial they were in helping their team get the result. This article talks about the captaincy picks and the best differential transfers you can do this week to finish at the top.

Alexander Isak is the top captaincy pick in Gameweek 34 of the Fantasy Premier League. Isak’s form has fallen off a little, but he has managed to score a goal and provide an assist in the last three games. The main reason he is the top pick is because Newcastle United will play against Ipswich Town this week. Ipswich are 18th in the Premier League, and their relegation has been confirmed more or less. Newcastle United will most likely have an easy time against this relegation team, and Isak will surely be at the centre of the action and can easily end up being hauled against Isak.
🚨Matheus Cunha’s a straight baller!
Dude can drop deep, spin defenders, link play, then pop up in the box and bag one.
He’s chaos in the best way — and we need that kind of energy at United. #MUFC pic.twitter.com/MSdOm1DYab

Wolverhampton Wanderers have been in incredible form and have won each of their last five games in the Premier League. Cunha was sidelined for quite a while due to a red card, but he has now returned. He made his return against Tottenham Hotspur two weeks ago and has since managed to score a goal and provide an assist in his last two games. The Wolves will face Leicester City over the weekend, which is arguably the team with the worst form in the league at the moment. Wolves and Matheus Cunha will likely power past Leicester City with ease, which is why the Brazilian star is one of the top captain picks in the Fantasy Premier League.
Bruno Fernandes has quite easily been the best Manchester United player this season. He has been absolutely brilliant for them, and while United has not fared well in the Premier League, you cannot write off this man this season. Manchester United will face Bournemouth this weekend, a team struggling themselves. Bruno hopes to have an impactful game against them and help United get their first win in the Premier League since their game against Leicester City in Gameweek 29 of the Fantasy Premier League. This is why he is one of the captain picks for this weekend.

Mohamed Salah has not been involved in nearly as many goals as he was at the start of the season, but he still cannot be overlooked. Liverpool will win the Premier League title if they avoid defeat against Tottenham Hotspur this weekend, and Mohamed Salah will most definitely want to contribute to such a big match. Despite his poor form as of late, Salah has managed to score 27 goals and provide 18 assists in the Premier League. This is a ridiculous record, and Salah can come back in form in a flash, which is why he remains one of the top captain picks for Gameweek 34 of the Fantasy Premier League.
Cole Palmer’s horrendous season – 22G/A

Cole Palmer’s drop-off since last season has been exponential, but he has still been doing decently well in the Premier League. He has managed to get two assists in his last four Premier League games, which is not a fantastic record, but with Chelsea’s game against Everton coming up, things may change. Chelsea has built up some form in the league and has yet to lose in their last four Premier League games. Everton will surely be very watchful of Cole Palmer in their game this weekend, and he can be a brilliant differential captain pick for this week.

Harvey Barnes
8 attacking returns (4 goals, 4 assists) in the last 6 GWs. He has played 78, 90, 90, 90, 90 and 75 minutes.I think he’s a no-brainer on a Free Hit. #FPL #GW34 #barnes pic.twitter.com/ieAeazqcdB

Harvey Barnes has been in ridiculous form lately, and it is a miracle that he is still owned by just 6.5% of Fantasy Premier League players. Barnes has scored four goals and provided four assists in his last six games. Newcastle United will face relegation-threatened Ipswich Town in the league this weekend, and they will most likely wreak havoc on them. Barnes can end up being a fantastic differential to have in your team this week and can help you shoot up the ranks in the Fantasy Premier League ranks by scoring and assisting against Ipswich Town this weekend.
Alex Iwobi has managed to score two goals and provide one assist in his last three Premier League games. Fulham have not been doing particularly well, but the same cannot be said about Iwobi. He has been in very good form and can end up being a fantastic pick for this week. Fulham faced Southampton in the Premier League this weekend, a team at the bottom of the table that had been struggling a lot. Fulham will most likely be able to win against them, and Iwobi will be one of their key players. Alex Iwobi is owned by just 7.2% of Fantasy Premier League players, which makes him a brilliant differential.
Double figures for Jorgen Strand Larsen in his first @premierleague season.

— Wolves (@Wolves) April 2, 2025
Jorgen Strand Larsen has been in incredible touch as of late and has managed to score five goals in his last five Premier League games. Wolves have been in brilliant form, and Strand Larsen is at the centre of the action. They will face Leicester City in the league this weekend, which is arguably the least in-form team at present. Wolves will most likely go on a rampage against Leicester City, and it will not be surprising if Strand Larsen ends up being a fantastic differential pick for this weekend. Jorgen Strand Larsen is owned by just 5.3% of Fantasy Premier League players and can help you shoot up the ranks.

Yoane Wissa has been incredibly consistent for Brentford in the Premier League. He has scored five goals and provided two assists in his last eight Premier League games. He regularly returns points to his owners, but he is still owned by just 14% of Fantasy Premier League players. Brentford will face Nottingham Forest in the Premier League, which will surely end up being a tough opponent. However, Wissa and Brentford both have it in them to get past Forest’s defences and score some goals.
Jarrod Bowen is the final differential pick for Gameweek 34 of the Fantasy Premier League. He is owned by just 8.8% of Fantasy Premier League managers, and while West Ham has yet to win a single game in its last six games, Bowen has been doing well. He has scored two goals in his last three games and will hope to continue his form when he faces Brighton in the Premier League this weekend. It will not be surprising if Bowen ends up scoring and assisting against Brighton, which is why he is one of the top differential picks for this week.
