Double Gameweek 34 finally draws to a close this evening with a pair of 7.45pm fixtures. Thereโs considerable Fantasy Premier League (FPL) interest in Leicesterโs clash with Southampton at the King Power, as Jamie Vardy attempts to score for the fifth successive league match.
Second only to Harry Kane for transfers in ahead of Double Gameweek 34, the Foxes frontman is the fifth captain pick (4.01%) and has found the net in eight of his previous ten league outings.
Thereโs bad news for those who invested in Leicesterโs cut-price defenders Wes Morgan and Danny Simpson, though, with both named among the subs.
Much to the frustration of the 39,000+ who drafted him in for the first of two Double Gameweeks, the Saintsโ Charlie Austin remains on bench-warming duties as Mark Hughes keeps faith in the same XI that lost narrowly to Chelsea.
Similar to Jose Mourinho last night, Antonio Conte has a surprise or two up his sleeve ahead of this weekendโs FA Cup semi-finals.
Willian โ the eighth most bought player for Double Gameweek 34 โ is benched alongside Eden Hazard and Andreas Christensen โ for Chelseaโs trip to Burnley.
The Italian pairs Alvaro Morata with last weekendโs two-goal Olivier Giroud against a Clarets defence with one clean sheet in 13 attempts.
Owned by just 1.5%, Giroud is one of only two players โ along with Burnleyโs Kevin Long โ who feature tonight that returned double-figures in their opening Gameweek 34 fixture.
Meanwhile, Sean Dyche names an unchanged line-up as the Clarets look for a sixth successive league win. Chris Wood (five goals and an assist in five) and Ashley Barnes (four goals in six) have the form to trouble a Bluesโ defence with a single clean sheet in nine league matches.
