After the last 3 unusual gameweeks we will have a mostly normal gameweek once GW 34 starts.
Brighton and Cardiff will be playing twice this week.
Liverpool is currently leading, they have one more match played than City though.
Chelsea seems to be making a comeback with 3 victories in a row. Thanks to their latest success they have climbed to the third place. The difference between third and sixth is still very narrow with United being 5 points behind.
On the lower side of the table Burnley seems to be getting away from relegation with their second victory in a row, whereas Cardiff is still 5 points behind Southampton and Brighton, who has only played 31 matches so far.
The first game of the gameweek will be Leicester against Newcastle, the foxes have won 4 matches in a row. Their recent improvement with the arrival of Brendan Rodgers has been amazing so far and they are the third best in form. I think Leicester should beat Newcastle.
Cardiff will be playing twice this week, their first match will be a crucial one against Burnley, a direct relegation rival. Cardiff is going downhill on form and Burnley the other way around, also Cardiff is usually weaker away from home.
The second match will be between the two teams playing twice, namely Brighton and Cardiff. Brighton is usually stronger at home but they are quite unpredictable
Brighton will also be playing against Bournemouth. The cherries are usually weaker away from home.
Spurs will be playing their third match at their new stadium against Huddersfield. Unfortunately for them they lost Harry Kane and Dele Alli due to an injury.
Fulham will be playing against Everton.
Southampton will be hosting Wolves at St. Mary’s. The saints are doing pretty good considering their current position. Wolves is usually weaker on the road and they tend to play better against stronger teams.
United will be playing against West Ham. The Hammers are usually weaker away from home. United might have lost their last 2 matches against PSG and Wolves, but they are on better form than the Hammers.
City will be visiting Crystal Palace, this will be a tough match for Palace as City seems fixture-proof so far. Palace has also an away bias, thus City shouldn’t have a problem winning this match.
Watford will be hosting Arsenal on Monday night. Arsenal is surprisingly weak on the road and one of the best teams at home. I personally think Watford could have a decent chance of winning.
Anfield will be hosting the most entertaining match of this gameweek, namely Chelsea against Liverpool. A victory for both teams will be crucial, as Liverpool must keep its form if they want to have a chance at winning the league, whereas Chelsea needs to hold on to the champions league spots. Chelsea gave a rest to most of their first team players in the Europa League, thus they shouldn’t rotate. Hudson-Odoi and Loftus-Cheek have been getting more playtime as of recently and they should play against Liverpool as well
Possible starting lineups:
Liverpool: Allison, Alexander-Arnold, Lovren, Van Dijk, Milner, Wijnaldum, Henderson, Keita, Salah, mane, Firmino
Chelsea: Kepa, Azpilicueta, Rüdiger, Luiz, Marcos Alonso, Jorginho, Kante, Loftus-Cheek, Hudson-Odoi, Hazard, Higuain
Remember that the next gameweek will be a double gameweek, so you might want to start preparing for that as soon as possible. Good Luck!

Indeed it will be the most entertaining Chelsea vs. Liverpool match. I look forward to it. Thank you for a good review.
There's my wildcard team, any changes one would recommend?
Dunno, I managed to get in a Brighton midfielder just now just cause of the double gameweek.
Decided to captain another player that has a double gameweek as well. :D
I don't have the guts to captain a Brighton defender and their midfield doesn't look like they've got goals in it. Maybe Knockaert but there are better single gameweek options.
Aguero might get rested for their champions league return leg vs Spurs even. It's a tricky gameweek. Maybe captain Vardy? I don't like early kick-off captains too.
Lemme go with Duffy for the doubles as well.
This is mine, but I have nothing to lose/gain so it's just fun/risky from here on out. :D
Camarrasa captain? That's a very bold move. I hope it pays off and also pray one of my attacking players doesn't play so I can get his points off my bench.
I captained Duffy! xD
How do i play steem fantasy league
Also I'm ranked 140th or something so don't listen to me. xD
That's your overall rank or your rank in steem fantasy league?
I woudn't have camarasa on the bench, but hard to say who I'd change him with from your team.
Yes, Maybe Moura?
I almost bought Camarasa..but then I decided to buy Deulofeu instead! :)
Will get him in next week for double 35 in place of Sigurdson.
Sounds like a great plan!
Yes, will also bring in a Liverpool attacker for my bench boost plans. They are playing Cardiff City.
Moura would've been a good choice ;'(
lol wanted to vote you for witness and didn't realise that there stands blocktrades...
What do you mean? :)
I went through the post and my eyes just caught the word "witness" and I thought I could add you.. I tried it via Keychain, but no user was found. I thought WTF? - then I went back to your post and realized that there stands "blocktrades" :-D End of story.
Haha yeah he is sponsoring this contest and deserves a vote as well for everything he does on Steem.
If you want to vote for my witness I run @ocd-witness together with @anomadsoul and would very much appreciate your vote. =)
:-D ha already done in the last weeks or so. OCD surprised me sometimes with a really nice vote (my posts about Vienna) - So I thought this is the minimum I can give back. THANKS!
What does OCD mean btw??
It can mean a lot of things. :D
