Leeds vs Burnley: Injury concerns
Leeds have been dealt a blow with Gabriel Gudmundsson ruled out due to a serious hamstring injury. Meanwhile, Noah Okafor is managing a calf problem sustained in last week's FA Cup semi-final defeat—a major worry for the 31% of managers who have brought him in this week. Burnley haven't provided fresh updates since Scott Parker's departure on Thursday, but Josh Cullen, Connor Roberts, and Jordan Beyer remain sidelined. The good news? Hannibal Mejbri and Axel Tuanzebe could return after missing last weekend's loss to Manchester City.
FPL stats to watch
Leeds striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£5.7m) scored a penalty in Gameweek 33, but that's his only goal in eight league matches. He's missed eight of his nine big chances in that stretch—a frustrating run for his owners. On the flip side, Noah Okafor (£5.6m) has been on fire with three goals and an assist in his last three games, racking up 31 points. But with that calf issue, he's a risky captaincy pick this week. Burnley's Zian Flemming (£5.3m) offers a budget-friendly option, having scored in each of his last three away matches.
Brentford vs West Ham: Team news
Brentford are sweating on the fitness of Jordan Henderson, Vitaly Janelt, and Rico Henry, who all remain doubts as they recover from injuries. Head coach Keith Andrews is expected to provide a clearer update in his Friday press conference. West Ham, meanwhile, are almost at full strength. Boss Nuno Espirito Santo reported only "small knocks" in the squad and expects everyone to be available—a boost for managers relying on Hammers assets.
Key player to watch
Brentford's Dango Ouattara (£5.8m) has been a creative force, producing six shots and eight chances created in his last three outings. If you're looking for a differential, he could be worth a punt this week.
Stay tuned for more updates as the press conferences roll in, and good luck with your Gameweek 34 picks!
