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

    Any good?

      Top marks for originality.

      Vardy - hits = grey arrow.

    5. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Could be worse.. could be -4 or even more with 0 players playing

    6. 7shadesofsmoke

      I'm on -12 and a wildcard with Vardy ©. If he blanks you'll move above me.

    Which move sounds better? Playing bench boost next week.

    A) TAA -> Laporte
    B) Duffy -> Doherty

    My defence is
    Leno Ryan
    Robbo TAA Kolasinac Duffy Bednarek

      Can't you just enjoy some football now without planning a transfer before anyone has even played

      1. FC Hakkebøf
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        He is excited! Let him

        Not really, no. Should probably stop playing FPL next season to enjoy the games more 😀

    2. RealSocialDads

      Doherty

    3. FC Hakkebøf

    4. Kenneth Tang

  15. Bring the Cavalry

    Using a wildcard to rid of my Leicester defender is probably my most satisfying moment of this dreadful season

    1. TAT
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Same!

      …and Anderson of course.

    Hopefully Newcastle really park the bus now.

  19. Poseidon.
    • 5 Years

    Well it’s not the Utd but it is a Utd so I can get behind them tonight I guess! Come on New Castle!!!

  20. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    I'm deeply offended by the language I picked up from the touchline microphone.

    1. SPorting
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      “I knew I should have captained f@*king Duffy!

    2. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I want to laugh at this but I'm aware I laughed at your previous comment and don't want to come across as stalker-ish 😀

      1. George Sillett
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        You're no Rupert don't worry.

  21. SPorting
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    So you’re telling me that, after that nightmare WC week, all I have to do is click on the Bench Boost button and then confirm and I’m done?

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Just need to select a captain now...

  22. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    He's no Joselu.

  23. Amey

    Wonderful header by Perez 😮
    Newcastle are playing brilliantly & not at all playing as minnows

    1. Poseidon.
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I would prefer him to Felix tbh

    2. RoysCallerAnne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Minnows? Newcastle a far bigger club than Leicester.

      1. Poseidon.
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Me and Amey are Utd. Your all minnows to us lol

        1. George Sillett
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Obviously United fans don't study grammar.

          1. Poseidon.
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            I don’t know what you mean

            1. George Sillett
              • 8 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              That's even more worrying.

              1. Poseidon.
                • 5 Years
                5 years, 1 month ago

                Huh

                1. George Sillett
                  • 8 Years
                  5 years, 1 month ago

                  Apostrophes.

                  1. Poseidon.
                    • 5 Years
                    5 years, 1 month ago

                    Okay dude. Lets agree to disagree

                    1. George Sillett
                      • 8 Years
                      5 years, 1 month ago

                      Never mind . It's gone way over your head.

                        Entitled to your opinion!!!

                        • 8 Years
                        5 years, 1 month ago

                        I rest my case.

          2. Amey
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Well Done !!
            Keep it up

      2. Klip Klopp
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years

        Nottingham Forest are a massive club and are crap mate

        1. Amey
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Yeah

      3. Amey
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Atm sir.
        Leicester team is much better than Newcastle.

        Club stature is not even a comparison

        1. RoysCallerAnne
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Disagree. Newcastle easily a match for Leicester. Much prefer Rafa over the fraud Brodge too.

          1. Amey
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Rafa is doing a wonderful job there.
            And you Know i didn't want to hurt anyone's feeling by saying that. Just squad depth & quality wise what i meant 🙂

            I'm backing Newcastle atm, as I've ditched Vardy & Periera on WC 😛

    3. IRBOX ⚽
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Minnows is not the correct word. Their club is drenched in history and have a huge supporter base

      1. Amey
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Ha
        Okay. I change it to, Leicester are a better team.

        1. IRBOX ⚽
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Scoreline says different?

          1. Amey
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Points table ?

  24. tucaoneo
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Morgan fast enough for a 65 year old

    1. SPorting
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      He’s still no Murray.

  25. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Are we pressing bench boost now or any reason to wait?

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Look through the window, what has Mark done?

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I mean I'll probably wait to see what happens in the weekend fixtures, but otherwise it's unlikely you'll choose another week.

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        And no straight triple captain option too

    3. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Why wait no more DGW’s.

    4. RoysCallerAnne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      GW1 BB = WC + BB in same GW.

      1. fedolefan
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        I will give this a shot next year. I have not BBed in double gameweeks 2 years in a row now.

        1. RoysCallerAnne
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          The rotation is too painful. It got me 30 points. Let's see if people match that in the dgw. If they do then fair play

          1. Amey
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Very hard to match that.
            Well done

          2. fedolefan
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Don't think anyone's matching that. I think 15 points is good enough for a BB. Anything more is bonus.

  26. Vinyl78LP
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Might give Leicester a kick up the backside to get it forward quicker to Vardy.

  27. George Sillett
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    If you didn't beat Wes Morgan for pace as a striker it's time to give up.

    1. Twisted Saltergater

      Kane says hi

  28. WVA
    • 7 Years

    As usual worst possible goal for me, Pereira Rondon owner!

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Looks like you didn't wildcard

    2. JuulKrapuul

      Grab the alcohol

  29. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Thinking Sterling or Jimmy captain next week.

    1. Sargasso C
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Sterling for me. Slightly concerned over a Wolves FA cup hangover.
