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

    So after days of tinkering, me and my ML rival, who have the exact same amount of points, roll out almost carbon copy teams. Who do you think scores the most out of this lot?

    A) Laporte, Robertson, Mané, Jota, with Duffy C
    B) Doherty, TAA, Salah, Siggy, with Son C

    1. MTPockets
        6 years, 11 months ago

        them

        1. Fnug
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 11 months ago

          I see what you mean

      • Golden Oldies
        • 15 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Almost carbon copy except a load of differences..

        B

        1. Fnug
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 11 months ago

          Both same keeper pair and double Brighton defense + Valery. Both Son, Eriksen and JWP. Both a front line of Kun, Jimmy and Rash. Could’ve been a helluva lot different.

      • WVA
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        B

      • LMFAO
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Do you even understand the meaning of carbon copy would be much more satisfying to know.

        1. Fnug
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 11 months ago

          Haha, see above. Should have used a different atom than carbon. Sorry.

        2. Fnug
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 11 months ago

          But you could argue that Robertson = TAA, Mané = Salah and Siggy could easily become a Jota after the FT. So it’s pretty similar.

      • JRO093
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        A

    2. Differentiator
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Vardy (C) useless ffs

      1. Forza
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Duffy will have had an OG and YC by this point though.

      2. how now brown cow
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Yep. Not feeling too clever at the mo. 🙁

        A while to go yet.

      3. SweeSwee
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Why can’t they just go back to playing ugly counter attacking football, scoring goals and keeping clean sheets.

        1. Scapegoat Salah
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 11 months ago

          Teams figured them out

        2. JuulKrapuul
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 11 months ago

          Last counter Newcastle conceded was in 2017

    3. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Anyone else just seeing very similar versions of WC teams within their mini leagues?
      Captain choices gonna be key!

      1. SweeSwee
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        No - seeing huge variations in teams

        1. g40steve
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 11 months ago

          Same.

      2. Revival
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        My wildcard team is almost a carbon copy of the top 10k template, going to be hard to gain any decent ground now.

      3. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Quite happy with my Salah and Hazard differentials!

      4. V-2 Schneiderlin
        • 15 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        top 4 in my league all have Son (C) - will come down to minor differences this week

    4. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      We have chance to catch Mark. He went Salah and has 0 City.

      1. Numb
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        He knows

      2. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Salah will surprise everyone this week I think

        1. Numb
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 11 months ago

          Agree. Although I don’t have him

          1. Scapegoat Salah
            • 9 Years
            6 years, 11 months ago

            My captain 🙂

            1. The 12th Man
              • 12 Years
              6 years, 11 months ago

              Nice. I brought him back but didn’t captain him.

        2. Sandy Ravage
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 11 months ago

          Salah has been surprising everyone one way or the other all season

        3. Hy liverpool
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 11 months ago

          Noway
          I captained him... Blank is guranteed

      3. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Salah was almost a no-brainer. Nice to see him in my team ready for Cardiff already...

      4. drughi
        • 16 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        How can you not have salah ahead of Chelsea Cardiff and huddersfield is beyond me

      5. Sun Jihai
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

              Vardy 50% EO in the top 10k, that's a surprise, thought most had sold on the wc.

                Half time, I'm happy to have sold him.
                Not sure about FT 😀

                I personally think we Vardy © last gw got lucky.

                great form, great fixture, nailed, didn't play midweek, kane injured so money to spend, bookies favourite to haul... I thought he'd have higher ownership to be honest

              Duffy cappers; how many points we expecting realistically?

              I'd be happy with standard 2 clean sheets.

                Couple of goals would be nice.

                Own goals that is.
