How the top 10k FPL managers set their teams up for Gameweek 34

Harry Kane (£11.8m) has reclaimed his powerful presence inside the top 10,000 Fantasy Premier League for Gameweek 34.

His ownership at that level fell to 79.9% as Spurs missed out on Gameweek 33 due to their involvement in the EFL Cup final.

Ahead of facing Sheffield United on Sunday evening, Kane has clawed back a large number of those who sold him for the Blank Gameweek.

Blank Gameweek 33

Gameweek 34

As you can see from the two matrices of top-10k templates, Kane has increased his ownership at this level by 12.9 percentage points between the two most recent deadlines.

That was not enough to help the Spurs man reclaim the top spot among forwards, with 95.0% of the top 10k now in possession of Kelechi Iheanacho (£6.2m).

Son Heung-min (£9.5m) has also been a transfer target for this season’s top-performing managers.

In Blank Gameweek 33, he had 70.0% ownership at this level, increasing it to 79.2% after Friday’s deadline. 

It would appear that Bruno Fernandes (£11.5m) has been the fall-guy for those investing in Son.

The Manchester United man has lost 6.7 percentage points of ownership at this level over the last seven days.

Mohamed Salah (£12.7m) is likely to have taken away some of Fernandes’ backing ahead of Gameweek 34. Despite facing Manchester United on Sunday, his top-10k ownership has increased by 3.9 percentage points.

Ollie Watkins (£6.6m) continues to cling onto the third spot among forwards but did see his top-10k ownership drop to 29.8% for Gameweek 34. 

A home meeting with the Premier League’s worst side has produced some unsurprising results as far as the Gameweek 34 captaincy goes.

Kane has amassed the armband support of 88.6% of those at this level, by far the most of any player.

There is a gap of 84.1 percentage points between the number who backed Kane and those went for a Son captaincy.

Meanwhile, 3.2% opted for Iheanacho and 2.3% went for Jamie Vardy (£10.3m).

As a result, Kane commands very high levels of effective ownership in the top 10k for Gameweek 34, his figure rising as high as 181.3%.

That number is close to double Iheanacho’s effective ownership of 98.1%.

Jesse Lingard (88.4%), Son (83.4%) and Salah (82.9%) complete the top five, which has finally lose Fernandes (74.8%) as one of its long-term residents.

The chips were largely untouched for Gameweek 34, unsurprising given the recent confirmations considering Double Gameweek 35 and Blank Gameweek 36.

Moving towards the final four rounds of the campaign, 14.4% of the top 10k have a Bench Boost left to play.

Meanwhile, 7.4% have their Free Hit in reserve. 3.1% are yet to use their Triple Captain and 4.1% are holding fire on their second Wildcard.

73.7% of the top 10k have exhausted their chip supply for the campaign while 23.9% have used three of theirs.

    Do one Vardy. Awful

    1. Jon Snow

      The unfortunate Kane injury and his points last week masked how useless he's been. I should have known better

    COYR!!!!!

    Nice to feel proud of your team again - gutsy performance

    What do Vardy owners do now with the double? Hold?

    1. mixology

      • 11 Years

      Call me crazy but I’d rather have him for DGW35 than Kane vs Leeds away

      1. Big Hands Barry

    If I activate FH can I do as many changes over the week I want?

    1. Dirty_Harry
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 days ago

      Yes

    2. bitm2007

      Yes

        Thanks

  7. Jon Snow
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 8 days ago

    So, go Vardy >> Kane now or wait for his inevitable DGW 3 pointer?

    1. Lucky Z
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 days ago

      Vardy could have a brace today

      1. Jon Snow
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 8 days ago

        He's been on the cusp for about 20 weeks now, think his age and the schedule has caught up to him

  8. Buck The Trent
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 8 days ago

    Martinez* McCarthy*
    Azpi* Holding* Dias Burn Studjik
    Bruno* Salah Son Lingz Jota
    Nacho* Watkins* Kane

    Would you ?

    A) BB after -8 (Jota, Burn, Studjik to Zaha, Ward, Cahill) = 10 doublers + 5 singles
    B) FH = 11 doublers

    1. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 days ago

      BB35, FH36

      Just do Struijk and Lingz --> Coleman + Greenwood

      Dont take hits for palace defenders lol

      1. Buck The Trent
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 8 days ago

        Could do Burn, Lingz to Greenwood, Coleman with 0.1 change but I wanna take both Burn and Studjik out if BBing

  9. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 8 days ago

    I hope you all got rid of Fraudy

  10. mixology
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 8 days ago

    Vardy (c) vs 10 men. 4 points, get in! Great way to start the GW 🙂

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 8 days ago

      Always a risk for a player not looking good

    2. Sterling Archer
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 days ago

      Long gw now

    3. estheblessed
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 days ago

      Why captain Vardy in the first place?

    4. zotter
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 days ago

      And likely they haven’t got Kane either

    5. mixology
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 8 days ago

      Good differential imo. Kane didn’t look fully fit and figured I’d keep Vardy for the double. No worries

    6. Big Hands Barry
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 days ago

      Unlucky, could have worked, loads of captain hindsights on here

  11. Scots Gooner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 days ago

    Dissapointing

    1. estheblessed
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 days ago

      For who?

      1. The Ejiptian King
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 8 days ago

        His English teacher.

  12. fr3d
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 8 days ago

    Let me share a quick thought on Bruno

    After the DGW, he will have (blank, FUL, wol) in the last 3 GWs. It's three days between the Wolves game and the Europa League final. I think he's very likely to sit GW38 out because top 4 will be secured by then.

    (blank, FUL, blank) in the last 3 GWs imo.

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 8 days ago

      I don’t think he’s gonna miss last game of the season

      1. fr3d
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 8 days ago

        Exactly. Which is why he'll miss GW38.

        1. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 8 days ago

          That makes most sense.
          GW 38 is the last GW, last game, and I’m saying he won’t miss last game of the season, so he’ll play GW 38

          1. fr3d
            • 6 Years
            3 years, 8 days ago

            I looks to me that you don't have a clue what you're talking about my guy

            1. Salah’s Sonnet
              • 12 Years
              3 years, 8 days ago

              And yet not really, you’re saying he won’t play last game of season, I’m saying he will, it seems common sense and logic isn’t your strongest asset.
              Bad GW already? Lol

        2. F_Ivanovic
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 8 days ago

          GW38 is the last prem game of the season, it's not the last game of the season for United.

    2. Flynny
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 days ago

      He is pretty much essential for dgw35 though isn't he?

      Half the game will captain hi.. if he has a game like last night it's season ending if you don't have....

      1. fr3d
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 8 days ago

        He's my GW35 captain currently yes

        1. FPL Daniel
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 8 days ago

          Interesting. I am considering selling him in GW 36 too

          1. The Son-dance Kid
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 8 days ago

            Keep for DGW then sell in 2
            36. Likely will roll the dice with a City mid

  13. FCSB
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 8 days ago

    Mendy
    TAA Shaw Rudiger
    Salah Son Fernandes Lingard Greenwood
    Kane Iheanacho

    Forster Vydra Holding Kilman

    2FT, 0.0itb

    Forster Kilman Son >> Guaita Godfrey Zaha (-4) [BB DGW35]

    Good plan, or something else??

    Thanks

    1. zotter
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 days ago

      Good plan

  14. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 8 days ago

    After every vardy blank

    ‘He could have had a brace’

    But he didn’t, useless swine

  15. estheblessed
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 8 days ago

    Surely Zaha is a good shout for the double...

    1. Tiki-Taka
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 days ago

      eyeing him as a differential

    2. Badluck Jonathan
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 days ago

      Yup

  16. jtreble
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 days ago

    What’s wrong with Maddison?

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 8 days ago

      He’s turned into Sterling, garbage

    2. estheblessed
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 days ago

      A player coming back from injury is always a risk.

    3. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 days ago

      Ot fit, not sharp

    4. Il Capitano
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 8 days ago

      Just hasn't looked right at all since coming back from injury. Also Tielemans taking some set-plays and the formation change to consider.

    5. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 days ago

      He is streaky player that happened

  17. Life_Ban
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 8 days ago

    So is Forster dead (as an option)

    1. _Ninja_
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 days ago

      looks like it

    2. Buck The Trent
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 8 days ago

      I suspect he got a run of games because he was the designated FA Cup keeper. Now that Soton is out of the cup, then ?

      1. The Ejiptian King
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 8 days ago

        I think he got a run because McCarthy was awful but then Forster was even worse.

  18. DangerFC
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 8 days ago

    Lads I have FH left and second in my league. Would I be better to keep it for the blank gameweeks? I can field 11 players in the double with no hits.

    Any thoughts?

  19. DGW blindness is for Kinnea…
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 8 days ago

    This week I'm logging in to see all the RMTs

  20. CrouchDown
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 8 days ago

    These moves worth a -4? Will play BB

    Forster TAA Jota > Mendy Digne Zaha

    1. Buck The Trent
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 8 days ago

      How many doublers will you have?

      1. CrouchDown
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 8 days ago

        10 doublers

        5 blankers in GW36

    2. Dirty_Harry
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 days ago

      Mendy had a horrid DGW but

      1. CrouchDown
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 8 days ago

        True. I want to have two DGW keepers though to make most of BB

        Is there a better option?

        1. zotter
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 8 days ago

          Guiata?

    3. zotter
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 days ago

      Would rather have Trent for one game than Digne for two

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 8 days ago

        I am considering Pickford

  21. g40steve
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 8 days ago

    Siggy or Zaha for the doubles?

    How DGW players do you have?

    Many hits?

    1. DGW blindness is for Kinnea…
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 days ago

      I'm getting both. Feel a little tempted by James in place of Siggy but Siggy has the reliability factor in terms of fitness

    2. Big Hands Barry
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 days ago

      Neither

    3. Buck The Trent
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 8 days ago

      11 with -8 but not sure about playing 180 mins for the likes of Azpi, Holding, Mccarthy

      1. zotter
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 8 days ago

        Pretty sure azpi and holding only play one

    4. zotter
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 days ago

      Zaha deffo

    5. Il Capitano
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 8 days ago

      Solely for the doubles probably Zaha, Siggy for a long term move (not bringing either in myself).

      Seven DGWers as it stands, might bring in Shaw for Cresswell to bump it to 8.

      No hits, will hopefully roll the second FT to help me get Salah in for GW36.

    6. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 days ago

      Only have 6 - will get a 7th but likely to roll for the 8th or swap Villa for Everton.

      Triple Liverpool and Kane complete the eleven.

    7. The Ejiptian King
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 days ago

      I'll have 8, no hits but I do have Vardy over Kane this week unfortunately.

    8. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 days ago

      ZAHA

  22. zotter
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 8 days ago

    Martinez
    Trent. Rudiger. Shaw
    Salah. ESR. Son. Bruno
    Watkins. Nacho c. Kane

    Fabri. Lingard. Dallas. Veltman

    Two FTs

    A. Son to Madison / Zaha
    B. Son. Veltman to Castagne plus zaha
    C. Something else?

    1. Ch0udini
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 8 days ago

      Rudiger, Shaw, ESR, Bruno, Nacho all blanks in 36. I would rather sell one of them
      now, to have playing 11 without a hit

      1. zotter
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 8 days ago

        Yeah might do Son. Rudiger to Zaha. Digne

  23. Stranger Mings
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 8 days ago

    All I have 2 FT transfers for DGW35- who would you say are the top 2/3 essential players who have doubles?thanks

    1. zotter
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 days ago

      Zaha
      Dcl

      1. Stranger Mings
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 8 days ago

        Yeh good call thanks

      2. DGW blindness is for Kinnea…
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 8 days ago

        I'm not so convinced by DCL. His returns have been poor for a good while

        1. zotter
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 8 days ago

          Hard to find a good double. Everton don’t miss a game too. Palace then Everton have best games

          1. DGW blindness is for Kinnea…
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 8 days ago

            Watkins maybe?

            1. zotter
              • 14 Years
              3 years, 8 days ago

              Dcl better fixtures than Watkins. Who has also been poor without jack

              1. Stranger Mings
                • 3 Years
                3 years, 8 days ago

                I reckon in order to get for Everton 1, digne 2, siggy then 3, DCL?

                1. zotter
                  • 14 Years
                  3 years, 8 days ago

                  What do you think of James Rodriguez

                  1. Stranger Mings
                    • 3 Years
                    3 years, 8 days ago

                    I use to really like but recently siggy being doing better

                  2. Stranger Mings
                    • 3 Years
                    3 years, 8 days ago

                    Sorry zotter James actually has slightly better form so worth a shout although more expensive than siggy

            2. Stranger Mings
              • 3 Years
              3 years, 8 days ago

              Yeh Watkins over DCL. Maybe Digne best Everton then siggy?

  24. fplking14
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 8 days ago

    Did Mccarthy play well?

    1. jdp219
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 days ago

      Didn't watch much, but he did make 8 saves while down to 10 men.

    2. The Ejiptian King
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 days ago

      Yes.

    3. Duke Silver ☑
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 days ago

      Decent. Had a lot of standard saves and looked solid enough bar one flap at a cross that he nearly headed into his own net. I think he's probably got the GK jersey for the double unfortunately.

  25. Manani
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 8 days ago

    thoughts on Pereria > Zaha??

    Pereria remaining fixtures are pretty bad, Zaha got dgw

    my 8th attacker is Watkins btw

    1. zotter
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 days ago

      Then who will you bench is get zaha

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 8 days ago

        Watkins?

  26. jdp219
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 days ago

    Holding off for now, but thinking of this with my 2FTs ahead of the dgw.:

    Forster, Rudiger, Jota > McCarthy, Lowton, Zaha (-4)

    It's exact funds, and I end up with this for my BB:

        Hmm. Interesting. I like him against Leeds, but certainly allows for more funds. Cheers!

    Anything better to do than...
    Kane, ESR, Coady -> DCL, Zaha, Digne (-4)?

    Will give me below for DGW 35, and only one change to field 11 in BGW 36.

    Lloris
    Digne TAA Holding
    Salah Zaha Greenwood Jota
    Vardy Nacho DCL

    (Lingard, Saiss, Coufal, Johnstone)

      Doubt holding plays twice. Maybe sell Lloris for Guiata

    Son/Holding -> Zaha/Digne worth it for free?

    Mendy
    TAA Rudiger Shaw
    Salah Bruno Lingard Son
    Kane Watkins Nacho

    Forster Jota Veltman Holding

    Odds of both Kane and Son blanking against SHU?

      Basically you are asking the odds of Spurs not scoring. Low I say

        He saved my 2 seasons. Somehow he manages to get double digit score near the end of each season.

        Will this time that be the case too ?
