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

    Mark:

    Ryan
    Duffy Laporte Verthongen
    Salah Son Eriksen Jota Redmond
    Firmino Murray C

    Foster Vvd Deeney Doherty

    Very different WC from Mark, thoughts?

      Answer now or in a few days?

      Yikes. That captain

    3. Team Cruel

      This place is seriously obsessed with Mark.

        The separation anxiety earlier in the season was hilarious.

        It was originally a Mark Sutherns fan page when this all started mate.

        His calendar was the best, I liked him in the fireman outfit and the autumn leaves best. Good old days

        Good one

        It must be difficult to have your every decision scrutinised.

        Good luck to him, I hope his approach works out.

        The guy is the GOAT. Genuinely.

    4. Garlana

      Great I have three city attack...he knows...I'm screwed!

    5. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 8 days ago

      Valuing VVD, Salah & Firmino as a bench over many of the doublers, I like it 🙂

      Going big at that rank, could end up very high!

    6. Ógie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 8 days ago

      I hope his captain hauls big time. 😉

        • 14 Years
        5 years, 8 days ago

        No way does Murray play 180 minutes.

        Having said that I went for Knockeart who also isn't going to get 180...

        1. Ógie
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 8 days ago

          Nice i hope it work's out for you.

    7. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 8 days ago

      No City attacking coverage is the bold move. Hadn't even looked at Murray so he a sure thing to score now

    8. fr3d
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 8 days ago

      Mark doesn't give a sh*t about template. He's going for gold 😮

      1. TyroneGAA
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 8 days ago

        Agree fair play

    9. Cojones of Destiny
      • 6 Years

      like his citiless team))

  2. VanDijksToWatchOutFor

    Top ten k Brighton defensive coverage at 180% eo. A lot lower than I expected.

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 8 days ago

      Ryan and Duffy double up or Duffy(c)

      1. mysteryDave
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 8 days ago

        I'd bet more of the former.

  3. Teahupo'o
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 8 days ago

    Sound issues in this match for everyone?

    We're getting the Sky coverage here in the States and the sound keeps cutting in and out.

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 8 days ago

      Think they're just muting Carra to cater to the audience around the World.

      1. Teahupo'o
        • 12 Years

    2. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Yeah, watching the same stream and the sound is annoying me.

      I’m in the States too and it’s fine apart from the quality of football. The little teams do bore me

    Sacrificed Aguero for Vardy, he better do something!

    1. mysteryDave
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 8 days ago

      I stuck with Aguero. Not an easy decision though. I think Vardy is good for at least one tonight.

  5. Sargasso C
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 8 days ago

    Anyone else thinking of holding off on bench boost next week. I have

    Ryan,
    Duffy,
    JWP,
    Valery.

    Next week it's Newcastle and Watford away for Southampton and Spurs and Wolves away for Brighton. I don't see much points there.

    GW36 Southampton have Bournemouth at Home and Brighton have Newcastle. Hmmmm

    Rondon FK off the bar

  9. Hy liverpool

    Rondon omg

  10. Rainer

    Effort Rondonaldo!

  11. Drop Dead Tsimikas
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 8 days ago

    Heart in mouth stuff for me (Rondon first on the bench).

  12. tucaoneo
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 8 days ago

    Selling Rondon almost exploded in my face. It still could.

  13. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 8 days ago

    That Rondon lad ain't half bad at free kicks.

  14. Monkey Hanger
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 8 days ago

    Just when was it exactly that Rondon turned into Beckham?

  15. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 8 days ago

    Rondon deserved a goal for that effort

  16. Piggs Boson
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 8 days ago

    22 own goals would be nice in this game. One for everyone.

  17. Manani
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 8 days ago

    who are people captaining next week?

    1. Begbie.
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 8 days ago

      Aguero

    2. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 8 days ago

      Maybe Lacazette.

      Tomkins and Sakho out so Palace are vulnerable.

      Depends on Europa I guess.

    Hard to say who has the worst hairdo between Almiron and Declan Rice. Both totally unacceptable.

    I prefer bankers, estate agents, traffic wardens and even Pierce Morgan over people concerned about a player's EO. Jesus wept.

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 8 days ago

      Piers Morgan on the other hand...

  23. mash
    • 11 Years

    My second big deadline blunder of the season - have somehow managed to put the armband on Dunk rather than Duffy!

    Felt like taking a risk with Duffy as I was leading my ML by 30 or so points, but this is even more of a risk! I hope it doesn't cost me too much.... will be willing on those home clean sheets. Argh!

    1. The Train Driver
      • 8 Years

      1. mash

        There's a small chance I guess - would be incredibly, unbelievebly jammy and totally by luck and in no way by judgement! Ugh...

    Which move sounds better?

    My defence is
    Robbo TAA Kolasinac Duffy Bednarek

    1. diesel001
