With the FA Cup semi-finals taking place this weekend, there are fewer Premier League games but more decisions to be made for FPL managers, as they juggle with their teams during the business end of the season.

Here are the best players for FPL Gameweek 34 using Fantasy Football Hub’s AI predicted points. If you’re struggling to decide on which FPL move to make, get your AI Recommended Transfers right now!

Best midfielder: Bruno Fernandes vs Brentford (H) - 5.9 predicted points

Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes leads the AI rankings as the best captain pick among attacking players. That is helped by his recent purple patch, where he’s produced goal involvements in six consecutive games, including two goals and seven assists.

Home comforts should suit Manchester United, who have won five of their six home games under Michael Carrick. Bruno Fernandes boasts goal involvements in all of those matches, including five double-digit hauls.

There’s plenty to play for in the Monday night fixture, with Manchester United looking to secure a coveted Champions League place. Fernandes is looking to break the Premier League assist record, too, leading the way for key passes (109) and big chances created (27).

Midfield gem: Cody Gakpo vs Crystal Palace (H) - 5.2 predicted points

Liverpool also need more points on the board to guarantee Champions League football next season, with significant transfer traffic for their assets like Mohamed Salah. However, the 5.9% owned Cody Gakpo could be a hidden gem against Crystal Palace.

He’s been an ever-present in 2026, with two assists in the last four gameweeks, while he also ranks fourth for shots in the last four gameweeks, with 14. He’s racked up six goals and five assists in this campaign.

Best forward: Igor Thiago vs Manchester United (A) - 5.1 predicted points

With no fixture for Erling Haaland or Joao Pedro this week, Igor Thiago becomes the highest-owned forward in the game who is involved and a key selection, given that he’s predicted to score 5.1 points, 0.1 points behind hidden gem Dominic Solanke.

He has set an impressive tally of 21 goals this season and now sits three goals behind Erling Haaland in the Golden Boot race. The gap has widened following Thiago’s Gameweek 33 blank, with Haaland putting goals past both Arsenal and Burnley during his double.

Thiago has scored three goals in the last four gameweeks alone, with penalties in his locker. He scored a brace in the 3-1 win against Manchester United earlier this season and will look to inflict further damage at Old Trafford.

Forward gem: Dominic Solanke vs Wolves (A) - 5.2 predicted points

Spurs face a huge game this weekend as they look to avoid relegation. They are currently two points from safety and have their easiest match-up of the run-in against already-relegated Wolves at Molineux.

Striker Dominic Solanke is just 2% owned, starting all of the last five in the Premier League for Spurs. He has one goal in that time, having found the back of the net three times in 10 appearances.
