Aston Villa's Double Duty: Key Assets for Gameweek 34

Contents

Villa’s Packed Schedule

Aston Villa is gearing up for a busy Gameweek 34, with not just Premier League action against a struggling Brighton but also a crucial Europa Conference League semi-final in Greece against Olympiacos. Dream Team managers should keep a close eye on Villa’s performance in the first leg at Villa Park to gauge their potential for the upcoming matches.

Alternative Villa Stars to Watch

While Ollie Watkins has been a standout recommendation in recent weeks, it’s time to shine a spotlight on other Villa players who could make an impact. Ezri Konsa, John McGinn, Morgan Rogers, and Douglas Luiz are all potential picks, with Luiz being a particularly safe bet due to his penalty duties and consistent selection.

Konsa: A Defensive Dynamo

Ezri Konsa is not just a fan favourite but also a bonus point magnet, ranking highly among defenders with an impressive tally. Having been tipped previously without much success, Konsa is due for a significant points haul and could be a wise choice for Dream Team managers looking to bolster their defence.

Newcastle’s Dynamic Duo

For those looking beyond Villa’s doubleheader, Newcastle’s Alexander Isak and Anthony Gordon present attractive options. With a favourable fixture against 19th-placed Burnley, the Magpies’ attacking prowess, led by Isak’s 23 goals, could reap rewards for managers. However, Gordon’s away record suggests some caution may be warranted for those considering him for their teams.

Chelsea’s Gallagher: The Dark Horse Pick

Conor Gallagher of Chelsea emerges as a sleeper pick for Gameweek 34, with a low ownership percentage but a steady rise in midfield rankings. His recent uptick in goal contributions and potential for bonus points makes him an intriguing choice, especially with Chelsea’s favourable fixtures on the horizon.

Haaland: The Obvious Choice

Erling Haaland continues to be a hot pick, fresh off the bench with his 32nd goal of the season. With Manchester City hosting Wolves and looking ahead to double fixtures, Haaland remains the go-to striker for many managers.

As the deadline for Gameweek 34 approaches, make your transfers by Friday 7pm to ensure your team is primed for the action-packed weekend and beyond.
