For the first time in months, Fantasy Premier League managers will have to captain someone other than the record-breaking Mo Salah.
However, he will be unavailable for selection this weekend due to Liverpool’s participation in the Carabao Cup final against Newcastle. Crystal Palace and Aston Villa, who were due to play the finalists in the league, now have a rare weekend off, meaning only eight FPL fixtures will be played.
It allows managers to completely change their squads for one gameweek only before reverting back to how it was before. Gameweek 34 is another opportunity to activate the chip when even fewer fixtures will be played.
This week’s deadline is at 1.30pm on Saturday, 15 March:
Gameweek 29 team
Matz Sels (Nottingham Forest) – £5.1m Gabriel Magalhaes (Arsenal) – £6.3m Josko Gvardiol (Man City) – £5.9m Noussair Mazraoui (Man Utd) – £4.3m Justin Kluivert (Bournemouth) – £6.1m Bruno Fernandes (Man Utd) – £8.3m Jarrod Bowen (West Ham) – £7.5m Bryan Mbeumo (Brentford) – £8.1m Erling Haaland (Man City) – £14.7m Chris Wood (Nottingham Forest) – £7.3m Raul Jimenez (Fulham) – £5.5mAfter conceding four goals at St James’ Park in Gameweek 26, Nuno Espirito Santo’s high-flying Nottingham Forest have tightened up by recording back-to-back shutouts against Arsenal and Manchester City.
Top-four chasing Forest face a brittle Ipswich side that has struggled for goals at Portman Road next. The Tractor Boys have scored just 10 in 14 games, failing to find the net on six occasions.
Defenders
Gabriel Magalhaes (Arsenal)
The Blues hardly blew the Foxes away at the weekend – not helped by Cole Palmer’s first-ever penalty miss – but the Gunners should be confident of keeping a clean sheet against a fellow strikerless team.

Rayan Ait-Nouri and Milos Kerkez were both close to making this team, but Noussair Mazraoui has pipped them to it.
Mazraoui was one of United’s most advanced players against the Gunners, as reflected by an overall expected goal involvement of 0.57, which was higher than any other player in Ruben Amorim’s team.
Price: £4.3m Points: 66 Gameweek 29 fixture: Leicester (a)
Manchester City have been unusually lacklustre in defence, keeping just seven clean sheets across the campaign.
Now could be a good time to invest in him, though, as City have a good run of fixtures from now until the end of the season.
Price: £5.9m Points: 105 Gameweek 29 fixture: Brighton (h)
Justin Kluivert was sensational during Bournemouth’s draw with Spurs and, on another day, would have helped himself to a monster FPL haul.
Kluivert’s capacity to deliver big scores (he has produced five double-digit returns already) and penalty-taking prowess make him a standout pick in this reduced gameweek.
Bruno Fernandes (Man Utd)
Fernandes has been in fine form of late (Photo: Getty)The Portuguese playmaker has produced two goals and two assists since Gameweek 26 ahead of Sunday’s reunion with former United interim boss Ruud van Nistelrooy at the King Power.
Price: £8.3m Points: 135 Gameweek 29 fixture: Leicester (a)
Bryan Mbeumo has stepped up his output away from home lately ahead of Brentford’s trip to the south coast.
Excellent as Bournemouth have been this season, they will be wary of the threat posed by Thomas Frank’s side given they have won each of their last four away fixtures.
Jarrod Bowen (West Ham)
While Kluivert, Fernandes and Mbeumo are no-brainer picks in midfield, the fourth slot is trickier to fill. Morgan Gibbs-White, Phil Foden and even Palmer (if you fancy him to arrest his slump) are interesting picks.
Price: £7.5m Points: 118 Gameweek 29 fixture: Everton (a)

It has been some time since Erling Haaland has featured in the thoughts of FPL managers but with Salah missing that will change this weekend.
Since Gameweek 19, Haaland has scored seven goals and registered two assists in nine appearances, only failing to provide an attacking return twice in that period.
Chris Wood (Nottingham Forest)
The New Zealand striker has an easier assignment this weekend against an Ipswich side that ranks third-bottom in the Premier League for goals conceded (58 in total).
Price: £7.3m Points: 172 Gameweek 29 fixture: Ipswich (a)
Beto, Yoane Wissa and Evanilson are all strong, in-form assets, but Raul Jimenez gets the nod following his exceptionally well-taken goal against Brighton last time out.
