All eyes on Vardy in Double Gameweek 34 opening match

938 Comments
Share

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

            Last minute switch succesful atm.
            Vardy, Raheem, Trip -> Kun, Kdb and Doherty

            Vardy was my captain too. Felt awful after I did the switch just like 30 seconds before pens down. Safe to say I feel loads better now. We’ll see if it was the right call but good start.

            I'm sorry but I just don't like Rory Mcilroy.

            Don't know why.

            Part or maybe all of it is the fact the Irish put him thru his amature years and then he decides hes English after all.

                    Not sure that dumped by text story was true. Either way it saved a lot of pain later. At least he could make a decision back then. I think a lot of it was because he was so far ahead of golfer at a very young age. He doesn't look like he's enjoying it.

              He's annoying, a very good golfer but lacks the gene to be a great. Throws the towel in too early if things aren't going his way, not a scrapper, not mentally tough enough. He didn't decide he's English, he decided he prefeesto be associated with Britain. Just because he's a Catholic, doesn't mean he has to declare himself Irish. Many great Irish revilutionaries were Protestant

                I agree with you on your last point but he doesn't come across as a very genuine nice guy imo.

                Lacks the gene? He has one of the top 3 swings on tour. Ridiculously on plane. It’s only his putting stats that let him down. If he was in the top 50 in the world for putting he would be unstoppable

                    His record says otherwise. Do you play golf? I’m off 1 so have an idea what I’m talking about

                      I don't. Where's all the Najors he's tipped in and won? Perhaps you can detail the tournaments he has scrapped his way to win from well back. I was watching them play the West of Ireland Open in Rosses Point last Thursday. He won it as a kid, less pressure then.

                        He has 3 majors under his belt and also The Players which is regarded by the players as the ‘5th major’.. he also came from behind in resounding fashion at Quail Hollow to win. His game has shortcomings but I don’t think it’s his mental aptitude

                Sporting arrogance is a prerequisite. But he's not walking the walk. His American accent wrecks my head.

              Don't like him either. Wish the press in the Republic of Ireland would stop reporting on him. Hate how he's referred to in first name terms, a bit like a certain legend of fpl (much nicer bloke of course).

            Some very surprising selections from the man leading FPL

            Calvert Lewin, Wilson, Fraser, Sigurdsson

            Doesn't look to be trying to just defend it anyway

              I just find it so interesting that he's still using his own tactics and not just defending with the same wildcard team as everyone

              Nice planning. Got 15 dgw players but no pool. Will get some again in a couple weeks.
