All eyes on Vardy in Double Gameweek 34 opening match

Jamie Vardy (£9.2m) will be the focal point of Double Gameweek 34 on opening night.

With many managers submitting their Wildcard squads for the rest of the season, the Leicester man was a popular figure this week.

With seven goals in his last six matches, Vardy is in hot form and his ownership will be hoping that continues against Newcastle tonight.

He will be supported by exciting midfield options Youri Tielemans (£6.1m), Demarai Gray (£5.4m), James Maddison (£6.9m) and Harvey Barnes (£5.5m).

The main Fantasy focal point for Newcastle is Salomón Rondón (£6.0m), but even still he is in just 7.5% of teams.

The next most popular Magpie is Jamaal Lascelles (£4.7m) in 3.2% of squads.

Leicester XI: Schmeichel, Pereira, Morgan, Maguire, Chilwell, Tielemans, Ndidi, Gray, Maddison, Barnes, Vardy.

Newcastle XI: Dubravka, Manquillo, Lascelles, Schar, Dummett, Ritchie, Ki, Hayden, Almiron, Perez, Rondon

    Vardy misses big chance

    Tielemans assist wasted.

    The 2 best FPL managers in the world - Mark and Numb. Both have just wildcarded.

    Mark went triple Liverpool.

    Numb went Liverpool-less.

    Who's right?

      We'll have to wait and see.

      Theyre not 2 best FPL managers btw

      1. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 25 days ago

        The HoF rankings disagree.

      Who gives a shite

        😆

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 25 days ago

        I thought it was an interesting question. 2 very different approaches.

    4. Amsterhammer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 25 days ago

      Numb will get liverpool in

    5. Numb
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 25 days ago

      We'll see I guess. Probably Mark given the season he’s having.

      1. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 25 days ago

        If he was still in the spotlight, I don't think he captains Murray and goes triple Liverpool. It's very maverick.

    6. IRBOX ⚽
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 25 days ago

      Mark is always right

      1. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 25 days ago

        True dat.

    7. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 25 days ago

      Guess time will tell

    8. JuulKrapuul

      You have to ask the real question:
      DiD ThEy CapTaiN DuFfY?

      1. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 25 days ago

        Mark captained Murray. I was also going to captain Murray until I did some research on Florin Andone.

      Anyone else you've stalked?

    Oh James

  9. Mo Mané Mo Problems
    • 10 Years

    Sold Lascelles. Own Maddison, captained Vardy. Oh dear.

  10. Numb

    Party almost started

  11. Werkself

    Good game

  12. Viper
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 25 days ago

    If I hadn't already played my TC I think I'd bench boost in gwk 36 instead and play TC this week. Food for thought for anyone that still has it

    Ryan (NEW) Duffy (NEW) Valery (BOU) Jota (wat)

    1. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 25 days ago

      And who would you TC then? No obvious options imo

      1. Tempestic
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 25 days ago

        That's what I was saying to someone earlier who said about this

        1. Viper
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 25 days ago

          Well I've blown mine on Salah for a 2 pointer so anyone is better.

          Probably Jimenez

    2. DV8R
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 25 days ago

      Already mentioned this several times last week.

      I think TC35 strategy is less viable with Kane out now tbh.

  13. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 25 days ago

    Marco Brighton crosses!

  14. SEXY SALAH
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 25 days ago

    Bloody hell why does Vardy always seem to play 90?!

  15. LǝgleSs e|even
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 25 days ago

    Leicester sucks. So much for bringing Vardy in.

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 25 days ago

      No, they just played arguably the four worst defences in the Premier League in consecutive weeks.

      Newcastle are much better defensively than what they've been feasting on lately.

      1. DaniCT
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 25 days ago

        Thank you for your common sense. I have no ideea why it was not clear for everybody.

      Fake goal shouts will lead to a ban

  18. TomSaints
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 25 days ago

    8 point hit and Duffy on in place of Lascelles on the bench.

    Not a good start to the week...

    1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 25 days ago

      Correct decision though

    2. Ambrosiana Inter
      • 6 Years

    1. Rainer

    2. The_Fish
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 25 days ago

      I don't, and he's my captain.

      I think he has brown hair.

    3. fr3d
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 25 days ago

      He looks like Dunk

      1. Pariße

      1. Now I'm Panicking
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 25 days ago

        All I know is that he was in Boyzone

    6. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 25 days ago

      I only use stats.

    7. Tempestic
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 25 days ago

      Hes just a blue and white floating shirt with a C beside him for most people

    8. Ambrosiana Inter
      • 6 Years

    11. Werkself
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 25 days ago

      He could show up in his uniform and I wouldn't know it was him.

  20. The_Fish
    • 6 Years

    Leicester have been rubbish.

  23. pjomara
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 25 days ago

    I'm only just discovering the most important info for gw34 - Mane and Klopp won player and manager of the month respectively, so clearly Liverpool and Mane in particular are going to be terrible on Sunday.

    12/16 the same for me. Beautiful front line 😎

    Not sure what Dendoncker is doing there though...

    1. TorresMagic™

      No Cech mate.

      1. Piggs Boson
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 25 days ago

        Not sure what you mean...

    2. Ambrosiana Inter
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 25 days ago

      People who,Captain Duffy deserve 6 points overall

  25. jtreble
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 25 days ago

    Morgan is too slow.

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 25 days ago

      what he lacks in speed, he makes up for in girth.

  26. Twisted Saltergater
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 25 days ago

    Pick your fave please oh knowledgable FFS community.

    1. Gunn, Aguero, Jimenez (-8)
    2. Foster, Aguero, Wilson (-4)

    Wilson has Ful(H) in GW35.

    1. Tempestic
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 25 days ago

      B, not worth taking out Wilson before Fulham

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • 14 Years

        cheers mate

  27. Revival

    A Brighton clean sheet tomorrow would be sweet, then anything in the midweek game would be a bonus.

    1. i am jose mourinho

      Keep dreaming

  28. diesel001

    Vardy has been poor today. First touch and decision making not quite on the mark.

  29. Sandy Ravage
    • 8 Years

    Dubravka could stop Brexit

  30. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔

    Will probably have to go Vardy to Laca this week

      No one is forcing you
