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

    Firmino, Deulofeu & Lloris are pretty less owned 😮
    Hope they do well.

      I thought you were captaining Vardy?

      1. Amey
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 24 days ago

        Yes, i was going to.
        But decided to move on for Bobby as i wanted him next gw anyway so Saving the FT.

    Sacrificed Eriksen to have Vardy here - I’m dumb as f

    1. Teahupo'o
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 24 days ago

      Be glad that at least you didn't captain him. 🙁

    2. Miniboss
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 24 days ago

      Well Vardy still has 45 mins to go and there’s no certainty Eriksen will even play so why so sad?

      1. Atimis
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 24 days ago

        Just mid game depression

        1. Miniboss
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 24 days ago

          I can relate though, been there every gw

  6. IRBOX ⚽

    Eriksen (c) Siggy (vc).. do my proud boys!

    1. Amey
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 24 days ago

      Nice differential pick.

    2. ZeBestee
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 24 days ago

      Went Siggy as well. Son (C).

  7. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 24 days ago

    Vardy just conserving energy for the second half

  8. Chucky
    • 10 Years

    Siggy hattie to save my season tomorrow...

    1. fr3d

      I can't believe you're cheating on Richa like this...

      1. Chucky

        😛

  9. Differentiator
    • 8 Years

    Vardy looking focused at start of second half. Rubbing hands together

  10. YEAH PITCH!
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 24 days ago

    Confident Son will start? I hope so.

    1. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 24 days ago

      Has to really with Alli and Kane out

    2. Amey
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 24 days ago

      60 minutes Enough to haul

    3. IRBOX ⚽
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 24 days ago

      After the Poch comments I think he could be rested or minutes managed

      1. ZeBestee
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 24 days ago

        What did he say to suggest Son min will be managed?

      2. Bring the Cavalry
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 24 days ago

        What comments?

    4. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 24 days ago

      Only formation i can think of where there could be a chance he doesn't start is a 352 with Llorente and Lucas up top, but you'll never know.

    5. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 24 days ago

      He's their game winner. It would be a strange decision for him to start vs Huddersfield.

    6. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 24 days ago

      Owner but hoping he gets a 1 pointer!

  11. Fpl Richie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 24 days ago

    Now certain decisions seem much clearer. Jwp and Laporte instead of Kola and Jota would have been sensible.

    Someone hand me something to knock me out...

    1. Amey
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 24 days ago

      😀

    2. Bring the Cavalry
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 24 days ago

      I think Kola and Jota is the better pick

      1. FC Hakkebøf
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 24 days ago

        Me too. No doubt whatsoever.

  12. JCrosbie

    Apologies to all good report writing guys on here. But the reporting on this website is gone to the dogs. Its definitely not this report above.

    The standard on here including team news etc. was way above the standard it is today

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 24 days ago

      It isn't about the quality of the writing. It is about the number of clicks.

      1. JCrosbie
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 24 days ago

        I agree

      2. JCrosbie
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 24 days ago

        I won't go into detail, but relied on info before deadline on this website, to complete WC.

        Was completely wrong. My fault for using the website, but 3 years ago wouldn't have happened.

        Ah sure il get on with it ha

          What info was that?

            • 13 Years
            5 years, 24 days ago

            Watford team news

            My fault as well

              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 7 Years
              5 years, 24 days ago

              I think it was written before the Watford press conference. With the press conference at 5pm and the deadline at 7pm, it must have been tricky to write the article.

              What did you get wrong, mate?

    2. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      Completely disagree with the point about the team news.

        I'm at 1700 OR with help from this site. What u make of the info is up to you.
        Site doesn't tell you who to pick. Or capt

      Team news is a very high standard. Better than most newspapers in terms of accuracy.

    1. diesel001

      Fulham chasing.

      Siggy and DCL this week. Fraser and Wilson next GW.

        😮
        Just like us, Hudds hunting !

        Watford next
        After that United.

    2. IRBOX ⚽

        Haha 😉

    4. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 24 days ago

      Both play Fulham

    5. ZeBestee
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 24 days ago

      Probably overthinking it.

    6. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 24 days ago

      Fulham yeah. Different thinking. Could be good but I think the 50pts gap will get smaller after the double gameweek.

    7. Studini
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 24 days ago

      I got Siggy in, was thinking about (C) too but chickened out in the end. Needed a budget midfielder to be able to swap in Salah for GW36.

  16. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 24 days ago

    Wow, half of teams have both Son and Eriksen

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 24 days ago

      Huddersfield and Brighton (GW35) is tempting

      1. Sun Jihai
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 24 days ago

        Yes - Kane played a big factor I guess
        Would have been more dispersion otherwise
        Alli just 0.1% owned!

        1. Naboo
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 24 days ago

          Injured

  17. SEXY SALAH
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 24 days ago

    Surprised so many went Son as C, is everyone confident he starts?

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 24 days ago

      I am

      1. SEXY SALAH
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 24 days ago

        Suppose Kane injury helps

    2. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 24 days ago

      With Kane out he kind of has to start

    3. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 24 days ago

      I am worried, but Spurs are running out of attacking players. Plus Son is on the cover of the match day program if that means anything! 😀

      This is really interesting. Nice research.

      Andy is indecisive and clearly all over the place.

      Neale is very single minded and backs his instincts.
