With Premier League action returning post the international break, FPL managers will be relieved after a pretty dour 4-fixture Blank Gameweek 29 that yielded an average of 25 FPL points. Barring Harry Kane and Patrick Bamford, it was the differentials who got a lot of points for FPL managers.
The likes of Jesse Lingard, Raphinha and Michail Antonio all delivered the goods for their FPL managers, further staking their claims for their inclusion over the last few Gameweeks of the season.
I had a great FPL gameweek after giving the armband to Jesse Lingard, as I scored 64 FPL points. The likes of Joel Veltman, Raphinha and Patrick Bamford also returned in Gameweek 29.
With plenty of time to reflect during the international break, FPL managers would've formulated plans to navigate this all-important final stretch of the season. With a huge fixture swing coming up in Gameweek 31, FPL managers need to play their second Wildcard or align their transfers accordingly.
Whatever they choose to do, they should do so before the Gameweek 30 deadline on Saturday, 3rd April, UK time.
Gameweek 30 Deadline: Saturday, 3rd April at 11:00 AM (GMT) and 03:30 PM (Indian Standard Time).

Transfers
#1 Cesar Azpilicueta in for Joel Veltman
Joel Veltman did a decent job in the two FPL Gameweeks he was there in my team. But with some tough fixtures ahead for the Seagulls, it makes sense to remove him.
Chelsea's defence has been brilliant this season, and Cesar Azpilicueta seems to be the only FPL option that's nailed-on for starts. While he is a tad expensive, the promising fixtures and Chelsea's solid defence makes him a worthwhile option.
Best FPL XI for Gameweek 30:
Chips activated: None.
Point Hits taken (if any): None.
Captain/vice-captain: Harry Kane (or) Bruno Fernandes (or) Kevin De Bruyne/ Raphinha.
An in-form Harry Kane seems to be the standout FPL captaincy option against a struggling Newcastle United side. Bruno Fernandes and Kevin De Bruyne are, as usual, good FPL captaincy choices as well.

Goalkeeper:
Emiliano Martinez (AVL) (£5.4 m) | Opponent: FUL (H): After conceding twice against Spurs, Villa will look to tighten up at the back against Fulham. Martinez should get back in among the FPL points.
Defenders:
Matt Targett (AVL) - £4.8 m | Opponent: FUL (H): Targett has been extremely unlucky as an FPL asset, as he has been denied assists and clean sheets by very narrow margins. He'll look to get back in among the FPL points in Gameweek 30.
Luke Shaw (MUN) - £5 m | Opponent: BHA (H): Shaw is the most in-form FPL asset ahead of Gameweek 30. Manchester United's left-back could get FPL returns both on the defensive and offensive front and is a quality FPL asset for the remainder of the season.
Cesar Azpilicueta (CHE) - £5.8 m | Opponent: WBA (H): Cesar Azpilicueta has started every PL game since Thomas Tuchel has taken over. He has produced plenty of clean sheets and bonus points. With European places at stake and a promising schedule ahead, FPL managers should back him for more FPL returns.
Midfielders
Kevin De Bruyne (MCI) - £11.8 m | Opponent: LEI (A): An in-form Manchester City side will look to secure the PL title as quickly as they can. Kevin De Bruyne, with his advanced position, looks set to get some big FPL hauls over the next few Gameweeks.
Son Heung-Min (TOT) - £9.4 m | Opponent: NEW (A): Son isn't 100% ready to feature in this game, but he's likely to gain a huge FPL haul if he does start.
Jesse Lingard (WHU) (MID) - £6 m | Opponent: WOL (A): Lingard has been a revelation on loan at West Ham United and has five goals and three assists in seven starts. He's among the best budget FPL options in the league and should do well for a West Ham side looking to secure European places.
Bruno Fernandes (MUN) - £11 m | Opponent: BHA (H): Fernandes is the outright highest FPL points-scorer this season and should add to his tally against Brighton.
Rafinha (LEE) - £5.6 m | Opponent: SHU (H): Raphinha scored the winner for Leeds in Gameweek 29. He'll look to add to his FPL points tally against the bottom-placed Blades.
Forwards:
Ollie Watkins (AVL) (FWD) - £6.4 m | Opponent: FUL (H): Watkins will look to break his goal drought against the Cottagers and reward the FPL managers who have persisted with him.
Harry Kane (TOT) - £11.3 m | Opponent: NEW (A): Kane has been in terrific form since his return from injury. With Spurs' full focus likely to be on the Premier League now, Kane should fire on all cylinders for the remainder of the season.
Bench:
GK: Robert Sanchez (BHA) (£4.4 m) | Opponent: MUN (A).
1st Sub: Patrick Bamford (LEE) (FWD) - £6.7 m | Opponent: FUL (A).
2nd Sub: Craig Dawson (WHU) - £4.5 m | Opponent: WOL (A).
3rd Sub: Pascal Struijk (LEE) - £4 m | Opponent: SHU (H).
