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 - hits = grey arrow.

    5. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 13 days ago

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

      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, 13 days ago

        He is excited! Let him

    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, 13 days ago

      Same!

      …and Anderson of course.

    Hopefully Newcastle really park the bus now.

  19. Poseidon.
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 13 days ago

    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, 13 days ago

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

    2. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 13 days 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, 13 days ago

        You're no Rupert don't worry.

  21. SPorting
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 13 days 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, 13 days ago

      Just need to select a captain now...

  22. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years

    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, 13 days ago

      I would prefer him to Felix tbh

    2. RoysCallerAnne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 13 days ago

      Minnows? Newcastle a far bigger club than Leicester.

      1. Poseidon.
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 13 days ago

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

        1. George Sillett
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 13 days ago

          Obviously United fans don't study grammar.

          1. Poseidon.
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 13 days ago

            I don’t know what you mean

            1. George Sillett
              • 8 Years
              5 years, 13 days ago

              That's even more worrying.

              1. Poseidon.
                • 5 Years
                5 years, 13 days ago

                Huh

                1. George Sillett
                  • 8 Years
                  5 years, 13 days ago

                  Apostrophes.

                  1. Poseidon.
                    • 5 Years
                    5 years, 13 days ago

                    Okay dude. Lets agree to disagree

                    1. George Sillett
                      • 8 Years
                      5 years, 13 days ago

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

                        • 5 Years

                        Entitled to your opinion!!!

                      2. George Sillett
                        • 8 Years
                        5 years, 13 days ago

                        I rest my case.

          2. Amey
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 13 days ago

            Well Done !!
            Keep it up

      2. Klip Klopp
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 13 days ago

        Nottingham Forest are a massive club and are crap mate

        1. Amey
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 13 days ago

          Yeah

      3. Amey
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 13 days 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, 13 days ago

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

          1. Amey
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 13 days 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, 13 days 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, 13 days ago

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

        1. IRBOX ⚽
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 13 days ago

          Scoreline says different?

          1. Amey
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 13 days ago

            Points table ?

  24. tucaoneo
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 13 days ago

    Morgan fast enough for a 65 year old

    1. SPorting
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 13 days ago

      He’s still no Murray.

  25. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 13 days ago

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

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 13 days ago

      Look through the window, what has Mark done?

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

        And no straight triple captain option too

    3. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 13 days ago

      Why wait no more DGW’s.

    4. RoysCallerAnne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 13 days ago

      GW1 BB = WC + BB in same GW.

      1. fedolefan
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 13 days 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, 13 days 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, 13 days ago

            Very hard to match that.
            Well done

          2. fedolefan
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 13 days 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, 13 days ago

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

  27. George Sillett
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 13 days ago

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

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 13 days ago

      Kane says hi

  28. WVA
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 13 days ago

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

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 13 days ago

      Looks like you didn't wildcard

    2. JuulKrapuul
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 13 days ago

      Grab the alcohol

  29. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 13 days ago

    Thinking Sterling or Jimmy captain next week.

    1. Sargasso C
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 13 days ago

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

    Matt ritchie first on bench here
