FPL Gameweek 34: Mohamed Salah to clinch Liverpool's title, give Cole Palmer another chance
This weekend could see matters both at the top and bottom of the Premier League resolved.

As for Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers, the main issue to contend with in Gameweek 34 is the blanks for Manchester City, Arsenal, Aston Villa and Crystal Palace.
This comes hot on the heels of a Double Gameweek, so changes will be necessary as we close in on the final stretch of the campaign.
I'm filling in today for my esteemed colleague, Lars Hamer, who's had quite the past few weeks in FPL.
But let's get down to why you're really here.

With two of the top three not in action, the highest-scoring players will surely come from either Liverpool or Newcastle United.

Man City sign Algerian defender Ait-Nouri from Wolves
Man City sign Algerian defender Ait-Nouri from Wolves Ait-Nouri signed a contract with Manchester City until 2030. Photo: AFP Manchester City have completed the signing of left-back Rayan Ait-Nouri from Wolves for a reported US$42 million. The 24-year-old Algeria international has signed a five-year contract and will be available for the Club World Cup, which begins later this week. Ait-Nouri is expected to be just one of a trio of new City faces for that tournament with deals close to completion for AC Milan midfielder Tijjani Reijnders and Lyon playmaker Rayan Cherki. After missing out on a major trophy in the recently completed season for the first time since 2016/17, City are hoping to bounce back quickly with a major overhaul of Pep Guardiola's squad. City will face Moroccan side Wydad AC and Emirati club Al Ain before a clash of European heavyweights with Juventus in the group stage, which kicks off on June 14. "City are one of the biggest clubs in the world and the chance to play for the club is a dream come true," Ait-Nouri said in a club statement. "I am also so excited about working with and learning from Pep (Guardiola) and his coaching team and getting to train and play alongside such a world class group of players," he continued. Ait-Nouri spent five years at Wolves, initially arriving on loan from Angers before signing permanently in 2021. He is City's first left-back specialist since Benjamin Mendy, who played his final game for the club almost four years ago. Oleksandr Zinchenko, Joao Cancelo, Nathan Ake, Josko Gvardiol and Nico O'Reilly have been among the players to fill a problem position for Guardiola since. French media report Cherki is on the verge of signing a five-year deal, with Guardiola hoping to wrap up the forecast signing by Tuesday evening in order to field the 21-year-old at the Club World Cup.

Inside Liverpool star Mo Salah's impressive luxury watch collection: from the recent Richard Mille RM17-02 and Audemars Piguet's Royal Oaks to the avant-garde Urwerk UR-105 CT Streamliner
Few athletes in the world right now are enjoying a hotter streak than Mohamed 'Mo' Salah. The Liverpool FC star played a huge role in his club's recent Premier League triumph, playing some of the finest football of his career over the season. Footballer Mo Salah has a strong wrist game. Photo: Xinhua Advertisement He's widely considered one of the team's most valuable players, and as a result, has become a top target for cash-injected clubs worldwide. Case in point: earlier this year, he turned down the equivalent of a small nation's GDP – a jaw-dropping £500 million (US$677 million) – to play in Saudi Arabia. Instead, he opted to extend his stay at Anfield, where he reportedly now earns close to US$542,000 a week. With that kind of salary, it's no surprise that a fair share of Salah's pocket change ends up on his wrist. Over the years, the soon-to-be 33-year-old Egyptian forward has been spotted wearing everything from extravagant Richard Milles and esoteric haute horlogerie gems to grail-worthy Royal Oaks. Here's a look at some of the most impressive timepieces in Mo Salah's ever-growing luxury watch collection ahead of his 33rd birthday: Richard Mille RM17-02 Mo Salah signed a two-year Liverpool contract extension. Photo: @liverpoolfc/Instagram When Salah confirmed in April that he'd be staying at Liverpool, fans were ecstatic – and judging by his wrist, he was just as pleased. To mark the milestone, he added another Richard Mille to his collection, an RM 17-02 Tourbillon Titanium, which he wore while signing the two-year deal that will bring his tenure at the club to a full decade. It's a fitting flex for a striker at the top of his game: an open-worked tourbillon accented in blue, black and gold PVD, dotted with rubies, and housed in a hard-to-ignore blue ceramic and rose gold case, complete with a matching blue rubber strap. Valued at just under a million dollars – US$950,000 to be exact – it was a statement piece to wear for a big moment. Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar Openworked The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar Openworked boasts a highly complex perpetual calendar complication. Photo: Audemars Piguet It seems that Salah has a penchant for skeletonised, high-complication timepieces; first the RM17-02, then the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar Openworked. He wore this ultra-rare piece to a headline match against Paris Saint-Germain earlier this year, making it clear that his wrist game is as sharp as his footwork.
