With two evening games to come, the afternoon’s proceedings are limited to just a quartet of matches.
From a Fantasy perspective, potential returns will be expected from Burnley’s clash with Leicester City along with Brighton’s visit to rivals Crystal Palace.
The Turf Moor clash finds two Double Gameweek teams collide, splitting the allegiance of Fantasy managers.
Burnley’s defence has just one clean sheet from 11 matches, with their last shut-out at home arriving back in Gameweek 18. Nevertheless, their defence has attracted sizeable investment ahead of today’s deadline with over 266,000 swooping for a member of today’s back five, with budget pick Kevin Long the most popular, having claimed 72,000+ new owners.
For the Foxes, the key assets are more obvious with Riyad Mahrez and Jamie Vardy boasting a combined ownership of over 2.4 million.
The latter heads into today’s game as the second most signed player of Gameweek 34, recruiting 246,000+ managers following a run of three goals in successive matches and seven in nine Gameweeks. Vardy is also backed by 225,000+ (4.0%) with the captaincy.
Points from the Selhurst Park encounter appears less likely, though both Palace and Brighton fought out a goalless draw in the reverse fixture and that’s a result which would certainly pacify recent investors in the Seagulls’ defence. Some 34,000 managers signed one of Brighton’s back five for Gameweek 34.
Glenn Murray and Pascal Gross also remain well backed for Gameweek 34, despite a run of three successive blanks for the pair. That attacking duo are the most signed Brighton players heading into today’s deadline, claiming a combined 78,000 new investors.
