De Bruyne set to dictate Gameweek 34+ for FPL’s top 10k managers

Kevin De Bruyne (£10.8m) is set to hold massive sway over the outcome of Gameweek 34+.

The Belgian has been captained by a whopping 65.5% of the top 10,000 FPL managers ahead of Wednesday’s meeting with Newcastle United.

It has been some time since a player enjoyed such a large majority in the scrap for the armband, which has made for effective ownership inside the top 10k of 161.6%.

By comparison, Bruno Fernandes (£8.9m) has received backing from just 19.9% of the top 10k for the midweek trip to Aston Villa.

The Portuguese international still enjoys effective ownership at this level of 112.7% but those who have handed him the armband will be sincerely hoping De Bruyne somehow underperforms, given how many have captained him instead.

As Fernandes and De Bruyne are the two players with over 100% effective ownership in the top 10k this week, those who went outside of the pair for captaincy will be feeling the nerves in Gameweek 34+.

After Fernandes, Mohamed Salah (£12.6m) is the third-most-popular captain option among this season’s best managers, backed by just 3.9% of them.

For all of Bournemouth’s poor defending since the restart, just 2.5% have decided to captain Harry Kane (£11.0m), and 2.3% went for Anthony Martial (£8.3m) ahead of the trip to Villa Park.

In fact, both Kane and Spurs colleague Son Heung-min (£9.8m) act as differentials for Gameweek 34+ as neither player comes into the round owned by more than a quarter of managers in the top 10k.

The South Korean is the more popular of the two, owned by 24.1%, while Kane sits on just 16.3%. Potentially exciting for those who have decided to play the fixture, as well as ominous for those not convinced by Spurs’ form.

As you can see from the table above, neither player was able to break into the loose template among the top 10k.

The most notable new faces are the budget options, namely Mason Greenwood (£4.6m) and Phil Foden (£5.4m).

The Manchester United forward’s brace was enough for him to form the perfect replacement for Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£6.4m), who is still goalless since the Premier League restart.

Interestingly, Foden breaks into the template at the expense of Christian Pulisic (£7.2m), but not because the American dropped in ownership.

Before rewarding his owners in the Gameweek 34+ trip to Crystal Palace, Pulisic’s backing in the top 10k rose by 1.2 percentage points.

Foden’s support rose by a larger margin, resulting in 29.3% ownership in the top 10k for the upcoming meeting with Newcastle – although out of the two, Pulisic marginally edges effective ownership (28.3% to 28.2%) on account of receiving more attention for the captain’s armband.

Martial continues to turn the screw on his ownership, each week adding another steady increase, this time at the expense of Salah.

The Frenchman has risen from 42.2% top 10k ownership to 51% while Salah has dropped from 58.6% to 46.3%.

By comparison, there has been very little change in defence, as can be expected with the Gameweeks running out for Fantasy managers.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka‘s (£5.5m) one-pointer against Bournemouth has cost him roughly 5% ownership in the top 10k, with Serge Aurier (£5.0m) overtaking him as the fifth-most-popular defender.

The best Fantasy managers of 2019/20 have been somewhat sparing with their chips in Gameweek 34+.

Just 2% of them deployed their Wildcard for the midweek round, although it was the most popular chip played before Tuesday’s deadline.

It means that 6.3% of managers in the top 10k are saving the second Wildcard for use between now and Gameweek 38+, although they only have four more opportunities before the end of the campaign.

The Wildcard template for Gameweek 34+ is not hugely different from the overall squad picture in the top 10k.

The midfield five remain the same, with some slight ownership differences, while Emiliano Martínez (£4.3m) is, not surprisingly, preferred to David Button (£3.9m) as the back-up goalkeeper.

Cesar Azpilicueta (£6.0m) was included by 30% of Gameweek 34+ Wildcarders although he immediately disappointed as Chelsea conceded twice at Crystal Palace.

Of particular interest is the choice of forwards, especially as that position has proved hard to be excited by recently. 

Greenwood was an overwhelming favourite of these Wildcarders, with Raúl Jiménez (£8.3m) doing just enough to stay in 53% of new-look squads. With little else of great options, it is Danny Ings (£7.3m) who proved to be the third-most-popular forward among Gameweek 34+ Wildcarders in the top 10k.

A smattering of the top 10k managers Free Hitted for Gameweek 34+, although still only 1.4% of them.

It means that the majority of those operating at this level, just over 56%, are waiting for the perfect time to play the temporary Wildcard, perhaps with Gameweek 38+ in mind.

As for those who pulled the trigger on it for the midweek action, there was a heavy focus on Manchester City, Manchester United and Spurs.

Kane and Son both feature in the Free Hit template, as do De Bruyne, Fernandes, Foden and Greenwood.

      Why not Pulisic?

        As in why didn’t you get Pulisic instead?

          Fks/pks and honestly think he’s playing for a new deal.

            If Jorg is on the field he won’t be on penos

            I hope you don’t live to regret it but he is very inconsistent!

              What’s inconsistent about recent returns? Pulisic dropped for large parts of the season..

                Willian is the 2 pt master

                  59 points in 6 games, pretty much on par with Bruno and Martial in terms of Form

    2. Najoman86
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Willian/Pulisic both helping themselves to returns at the moment. Could go with either

      1. The Suspended One
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Pulisic is so much more fun tho, you want the goals or the assists?

        1. Feanor
          • 15 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          I got 20 points from Willian in the past 2 games.

          1. The Suspended One
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            Fair play; just saying history isn’t 6 weeks old. Pulisic better PPG fwiw

          2. The Suspended One
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            I think the pens are really inflating his value; hope he keeps ticking over for our CL sakes

            1. hueycho
              • 5 Years
              4 years, 3 months ago

              I did puli to willian for 2 extra points! Safe!

      2. PapaWengzz
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        4 vs 0 double digit hauls in the last 6. I see a clear winner

    3. JonSnow
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Willian looked the more dangerous of the two last night I thought and has been consistent of late so him over pulisic is a coun toss for me

      1. PapaWengzz
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        hardly a coin toss if you compare the recent returns, stats, Fks and pens

  2. Najoman86
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    The expected price drop for DCL has me in a precarious position.
    Do I cut my losses and shift for Ings for the remainder of the season (Rashford, Jimenez are my other FWDs)? £7.5m to spend, max Man Utd already selected - Greenwood not an option.

    1. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Vardy

      Ings next week

    2. Soto Ayam
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Yes do it

    3. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Prices don’t matter at this point, go for points

      1. Najoman86
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Completely agree. However, short of funds to go DCL > Vardy.
        I've not taken a hit all season, attempting a hit-free season. Is Vardy worth a hit over Ings?

        1. The Suspended One
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          I think so, I want Ings but after United; he may even get a rest

          Vardy going for the boot and LEI the CL; Bournemouth is gonna get ripped

        2. The Suspended One
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years

          If you go Ings roll the ft, take the drop and keep options open

            • 15 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            Cheers Suspended One. I think this appears to be the sensible approach. Will wear the price drop and reassess. Hoping for a return to goal-scoring form for DCL against Southampton

    4. MrZ
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      DCL will be my perma bench. Lots of money itb, don't care about price drop anymore. Will play 442 / 352, so many options in mid now

    Per sky:
    Christian Pulisic's first season at Chelsea vs Eden Hazard's:

    Pulisic 2019-20

    8 PL goals, 178 mins per goal
    143 mins per goal or assist
    3.1 successful dribbles per 90

    Hazard 2012-13

    9 PL goals, 293 mins per goal
    132 mins per goal or assist

          • 15 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Both he and Willian have been in top form since the restart. It'll be interesting to see how Pulisic goes with the increased competition next season with the arrival of Ziyech & Werner, even with Willian's anticipated departure

          1. The Suspended One
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            I think he and Werner will link well; Ziyech is gonna play in Willians spot when he leaves IMO

              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 15 Years

    Just a short impression from the Watford-Norwich game: not having watched Sarr in a full match before, I was impressed. Not from an FPL perspective - that was rubbish and I'm extremely fortunate to have come away with a lucky assist! - but in general: it was clear he's full of talent, but he also has great work ethic.

    He was clearly getting frustrated by the lack of chances but he never stopped trying to make things happen - even in injury time he was chasing after balls and pressuring defenders. He's not a good FPL asset the way Watford are playing right now, but unless he gets unlucky he'll be a very good player very soon.

      What about Deeney!?

      1. Greek Freak
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        He was the target man in a lot of hoofball attempts and wasn't bad at it, but he never threatened to score. Then again, neither did most Watford players (apart from Welbeck actually, who was the most direct and is clearly fitter than Deeney is right now).

    Can somebody tell me can the City CL ban be made 1 yr, or is the appeal all or nothing?Thx

      They can do 1 yr or 2

      Pep gonna leave if it’s 2

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        I’d say next year could be Pep’s last year either way - has 5 year contract & next year final year I think

    Thoughts on Doherty > Digne in the next few weeks?

    1. maglia rosa

      4 years, 3 months ago

      It's a move i'm looking at. Docherty has a sheild status these days and Digne would certainly be a sword.......but this looks to be based on OR, a rival with Docherty however makes that move a big deal in a very tight mini lge.

    Reading this article I did not know how top 10k template my team was.
    My question is this with a current OR rank of about 150k if the template does well will I rise in rank or not do you think?
    Only differences
    Me - Patricio Holgate Jesus
    Template Pope Saiss Rashford

      If you stick to the template, captain choices will determine your rise/fall, I imagine.

      I'm pretty much template, and I'm only seeing small arrows one way or another. *knocks on wood*

      1. Albrightondknight
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Yeah and my captain KDB is total template pick too.
        I nearly went rogue with
        Salah and Jiménez to Kane and Son for a hit this week. Still don’t know whether that would have been a good idea or not. But with 2 FT this week I think I need to break ranks and try to gain.

    2. maglia rosa
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Guess it depends on the ownership outside the top 10 k. Someone more knowledgeable would be able to answer for sure but surely if you had a good week you'd expect to rise quite easily upto that top 10 k.

      1. Albrightondknight
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        About a 100 points off 10K so that’s not easily made up in 4 or 5 weeks.

        1. maglia rosa
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          fair enough

    3. bigbudgie
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Captaincy pick is the most important thing where you can beat the template.

        These last few gameweeks feel like the ones to go for broke

  18. The Quad

    advice on replacements for jimenez, forward line currently is rashford jimenez and nketiah. already have 3 man united too.

    1. FCSB

  19. Manumana
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Rashford & Jimi

    To

    Greenwood & Vardy

    1. sandman58
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Ur chasing points

      1. Manumana
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        No im not im getting Vardy in for Bournmouth & freeing up funds to use elsewhere

        1. Feanor
          • 15 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Could work.

          I benched Jiménez this week.

  20. FCSB
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Best option for (-4):

    1. Rashford Henderson >> Vardy Martinez
    2. Rashford Lundstram >> Vardy Lamptey
    3. Jimenez Mahrez >> Vardy Pulisic (or Willian)
    4. Connolly Salah >> Vardy Pulisic (or Willian)
    5. Save

    Thanks all

    1. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I like 4

      Just cant quite justify a city or united player out for a hit right now

      1. Albrightondknight
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        This it’s 4 or 5
        Maybe 5 as it’s for a hit. Maybe a better idea on Salah after this GW

    2. ZTF
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Go 4 and pulisic

  21. Cheeto__Bandito
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Whats the biggest gap you have mad up on final day? (and how)

  22. ZTF
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Ddg (3.9)
    TAA Doherty Saiss (C.Taylor, 4.0)
    Salah Kdb Mahrez Bruno Martial
    Jimenez Connolly (Nketiah*)

    Ddg, Nketiah to Ederson, Greenwood -4 is a no brainer yeah?

    1. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Don’t know about a no brainer but looks ok.
      Just saying this hit is Probably caused by triple utd already and wanting a different triple.
      I fall into this trap all the time too.
      Just saying Ederson can lead to the same problem if you decide to go triple attack on them too and you may want to.

      1. ZTF
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Ehh I doubt it with city because of the rotation, if anything I might shift mahrez

        1. Albrightondknight
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          It’s good just don’t know if I would want 4 at the back with so many attacking options right now. Really depends on what plans you have for the week after and how many ft you got.

          1. Albrightondknight
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years

            Fail reply to Che91

  23. FCSB

    Pope
    TAA AWB Saiss

      1. Chelsea91

        Just done Son to Anthonio. Will do Jota to Greenwood for GW 36 and bench boost mate

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          Nice one

  25. snowman
    • 15 Years

    Is Garcia nailed on option for City remaining games ?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Will he start every PL game, very unlikely.

      1. snowman
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Who would you say is cheapest City defender likely to do that?

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 15 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          None will start all of them. Garcia might be the closest but that can change.

        2. Amey
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          None

          1. snowman
            • 15 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            So worth a punt on Garcia or Otamemdi for the price point ?

            1. Amey
              • 6 Years
              4 years, 3 months ago

              Garcia
              Otamendi is a clown

            2. The Quad
              • 7 Years
              4 years, 3 months ago

              I reckon garcia at 4.5 is good value, stones isn't valued by pep and either is otamendi, of course its pep so you never know what line up he'll use though.

  26. Albrightondknight
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Exact cash for this right now and with Ings at 95% he may rise before he plays - so before the next price rise

    Lascelles and Jiménez to
    Azpi and Ings?

    1. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Should have said for free with 2 FT

    2. Holmes
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Risky plus Azpi might not be the best choice. Digne or a Wolves defender are better picks.

      1. Albrightondknight
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Cheers what’s the risky part losing Jimmy?
        Thanks for the suggestions already got Patricio and Doherty but will look at Digne.

        1. Holmes
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Risky part is getting Ings before he plays 😀

          1. Albrightondknight
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            K I need sleep 🙂

      2. Albrightondknight
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        This will make the bench headache even worse each week too and probably adds bench order headache too 🙂

        1. Holmes
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Then you can just do Jimenez to Ings for now, save cash.

          1. Albrightondknight
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            Maybe but bench defence right now is Lascelles and Holgate which ain’t looking great right now.

    3. ppv
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Ings started to drop now. Should be OK to wait a week

      1. Albrightondknight
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Still seeing 2 blue arrows on fpl stats

  27. Ian Davis
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Best defender 5.8 or less for the rest of the season?

    *Currently on J Gomez but not sure it’s worth it with their fixtures.

    1. Holmes
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Digne would be my pick

  28. SpaceCadet
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Jimmy Mahrez > vardy pulisic for a hit? If Mahrez starts tonight that is......

    1. Holmes
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Likely to work

  29. Me Spurs
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    If son fails the eye test again is son guendouzi to pulisic mahrez-4 decent move?

  30. BNMC
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Is this just silly?

    Got Kane now.
    35 Kane to Vardy (bou)
    36 Captain KDB (BOU)
    37 Buy Ings (bou)

    1. Holmes
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I'm sure that was your plan before you got Kane this week?

      Won't say silly but you need to have a perfect team to execute that plan.
