If you\u2019re in a rush and need some last-minute Fantasy Premier League (FPL) advice, here\u2019s a quick round-up of what you need to know about Gameweek 29.<\/p>\n

WHEN\u2019S THE FPL GAMEWEEK 29 DEADLINE?<\/p>\n

There\u2019s barely time to catch breath from the weekend, because FPL has a very quick turnaround. All transfers and team selections need to be done by 18:00 GMT on Tuesday 3 March.<\/p>\n

WILL HAALAND, RICE + WILSON PLAY?\"FPL<\/p>\n

This doesn\u2019t leave long to mull over the Winter Olympics-style flag ceremony that suddenly has lots of popular names labelled as injury doubts.<\/p>\n

Erling Haaland (\u00a314.7m) missed Manchester City\u2019s win<\/a> at Leeds United, an occasion where Nico O\u2019Reilly (\u00a35.1m) hurt his ankle<\/a>. The same body part forced attacker Harry Wilson (\u00a36.0m) off, soon after Fulham teammate Joachim Andersen (\u00a34.5m) was declared too ill<\/a> to take part.<\/p>\n

Then, when Arsenal faced Chelsea, Declan Rice (\u00a37.5m) was removed<\/a> due to discomfort after 75 minutes.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, Tuesday\u2019s press conferences<\/a> brought mixed helpfulness from managers.<\/p>\n

\u201c[Haaland] feels much better but yesterday we didn\u2019t train. Now we have training, we will decide today.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe same [for O\u2019Reilly], we\u2019ll decide after training.\u201d \u2013 Man City\u2019s Pep Guardiola<\/p>\n

\u201cJoachim Andersen will be back in 100% sure. Harry Wilson is one of the players we have to keep assessing. Let\u2019s see.\u201d \u2013 Fulham\u2019s Marco Silva<\/p>\n

\u201cI hope so. He was much better today. Obviously, we haven\u2019t really trained because we have only two days to prepare the game. Hopefully, he\u2019s going to be better tomorrow.\u201d \u2013 Mikel Arteta on whether Arsenal\u2019s Declan Rice is \u201cokay\u201d<\/p>\n

So, should owners decide to sell, or hope for the best? Zophar hands out some advice in his latest Q&A piece<\/a>.<\/p>\n

WHO TO BUY\"FPL<\/p>\n

Several of these doubts are in \u2018The Great and the Good\u2019<\/a> template squad, where six of the 18 individuals were able to buy Virgil van Dijk (\u00a36.1m) in time for his latest attacking return.<\/p>\n

The same match saw Hugo Ekitike (\u00a39.1m) finally haul<\/a>, yet the Frenchman still makes our Goals Imminent table<\/a>, alongside fellow forward Dominic Calvert-Lewin (\u00a35.7m). Both could be good Haaland replacements.<\/p>\n

In fact, Liverpool players make sense in all positions. The reigning champions are highly backed for a clean sheet<\/a> and attacking returns<\/a> versus Wolverhampton Wanderers.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, a timely fixture frisk article<\/a> also points out the favourable runs awaiting Brentford and Fulham.<\/p>\n

BEST FPL GAMEWEEK 29 CAPTAIN\"Best<\/p>\n

With Haaland\u2019s availability in doubt, there is armband mayhem.<\/p>\n

The Captain Sensible article<\/a> chooses between Bruno Fernandes (\u00a310.0m), Hugo Ekitike and Antoine Semenyo (\u00a38.2m), whereas our Rate My Team (RMT) algorithm<\/a> likes a completely different trio of names.<\/p>\n

TEAM REVEALSSCOUT PICKS + DIFFERENTIALS<\/p>\n

Our weekly selection<\/a> \u2013 which is essentially a Free Hit in all but name \u2013 has Haaland.<\/p>\n

\"FPL<\/p>\n

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Anton Stach (\u00a34.7m) make this bench, and are named in our trio of top differential picks<\/a>.<\/p>\n

PREDICTED LINE-UPS<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve predicted the starting XIs<\/a> of all 20 Premier League teams.<\/p>\n

Whatever you decide to do, good luck with FPL Gameweek 29!<\/p>\n
