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.

    Who are your FH priorities?
    Best possible FH team anyone here,?

    1. Hy liverpool
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 10 days ago

      I don't have FH..
      Bruno, Iheanacho, Zaha,
      Salah, Arnold, Shaw would be in my list and GK i would go for Guaita or Mendy

  2. OverTinker
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 10 days ago

    Any Early FH 35 Draft??

  3. Hotdogs for Tea
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 10 days ago

    Generally rather than ask for GW35 FH drafts from others, why not post up your own FH draft for discussion and feedback ? just a thought

    or ask for a draft in a joking manner ‘cos I’m lazy’ type style 😉

    1. OverTinker
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 10 days ago

      want to gamble with 11 double GW players - all or nothing. Only 16 points behind in my ML. This GW score will decide which way I go.

      1. Hotdogs for Tea
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 10 days ago

        go for it and slap your team up ... i am sure it will start a great discussion.

        I will have some double game week players but it will be interesting if they ‘cover’ the free hitters picks

      Cheers! Fofana hasn't seem to have hurt me too much - conceding after he was subbed was a godsend for me.

        Need Alonso/JRod to do well.

        1. RogDog_jimmy
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 10 days ago

          Yep! Them and Fofana were my big diffs. It really Fofana was cancelled out by folks with Castagne.
          Son blank will help too.

    Nacho (c) semi fail. At least some points on the board.

    1. ILOVEBAPS
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 10 days ago

      Kane’s done nothing yet and no guarantee he will. Long way to go yet. I think Bale may be the big winner this GW.

  6. noahzark22

    What's the best use of a WC still available?

    1. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 10 days ago

      in the double game week seems a decent option ?

      1. noahzark22
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 10 days ago

        I suppose. Need to keep the blanks down to 4 or fewer for the following week it seems

        1. Hotdogs for Tea
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 10 days ago

          check out the relevant article, 4 teams have a double and play in the blank

          there are only 4 game weeks left and one is a double as one a blank .... your choice is pretty clear really when you need to play it 🙂

  7. 272MK
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 10 days ago

    McCarthy you beauty.
    Concede and still 5 pts! 😀

    Castagne u piece of crap.

  8. 272MK
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 10 days ago

    Ive always dreamt of my differential having a 20pts haul.

    Bale(c) here

    The only owner in my ML top 10

    Anyone has a similar success stories?

  9. shuddahaddum
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 10 days ago

    Lingard or Jota for Zaha?

    1. Kabaranko
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 10 days ago

      neither, zaha is a trap

    2. Henryyy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 10 days ago

      Neither

  10. Ragabolly

    3 years, 10 days ago

    Risers: Kane (11.9) Son (9.6) Wood (6.4) Iheanacho (6.3) Chilwell (5.9)

      That Watkins fall is a strange one

      1. FPL Pillars
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 10 days ago

        Transfers out for Wood

    7. Pompel
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 10 days ago

      Cheers Raga!
      Keane on my radar if he gets his starting spot back

    Thanks Kabaranko Rondon

  12. SpaceCadet
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 10 days ago

    Does this look good for a gw35 BB? Plan to do Kane and Dallas > targett and Watkins.

    Mendy
    Taa castagne Dallas
    Bruno son siggy lingard
    Kane dcl nacho

    Pickford Shaw zaha Ward

    1. Alcapaul
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 10 days ago

      Looks good but I would keep Kane and Dallas

  13. Salan
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 10 days ago

    Captain choice for DGW35?

    Dgw players, Bruno? Iheanacho? DCL? Zaha (?)
    Sgw players, Salah? Kane?

    This week seems strange that Salah / Kane may probably outscore those dgw players, I guess.

    1. Pukki Blinders
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 10 days ago

      Has to be Bruno

  14. SEXY SALAH
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 10 days ago

    Starting to think I should have got Saka this week instead of ASM, no they double next week

    1. SEXY SALAH
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 10 days ago

      *now

    2. Salan
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 10 days ago

      Only concern is Saka not nailed enough, and sometimes play a defender. His last PL goal was in gw20.

      1. Pukki Blinders
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 10 days ago

        And Vardy’s only scored twice in all comps in the last 5 months, doesn’t stop people from bringing him in

        1. Ruinenlust
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 10 days ago

          Because Vardy is nailed and will start every game

        2. asquishypotato
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 10 days ago

          I know this comment was 4 hours ago, but holy moly what an awful comparison.

          Vardy - striker, up front, near the goal, on pens, playing for third in the league, may not have form but I guaranteed to play week in week out.

          Saka - not nailed, may play full back, prem not as important, has 5 goals all season.

          I get your form point, but that comparison is not the way to do about it!

      2. RogDog_jimmy
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 10 days ago

        So Saka plays out of position in a bad way, might get dropped, is out of form and could potentially rest/rotate for Europe.

        Other than that good to go!

  15. Jinswick
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 10 days ago

    Would you:
    A) WC35 & FH36
    B) FH35 & WC36
    C) Something else

    Martinez, Pope
    Trent, Cancelo, Shaw, Coufal, Targett
    Salah, Son, Jota, Pereira, Raphina
    Vardy, Watkins, Bamford

    Bank 0.3m, 1FT

    1. Pukki Blinders
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 10 days ago

      Logically A makes sense

    2. Neo-Viper
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 10 days ago

      B

    3. Holmes
      • 10 Years

    4. fish&chips
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      B. Can focus 100% on the doubles this week and will have more info for your WC next week. Just don't get too caught up on the blanks when you make your WC team

  16. seewhyaxe
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 10 days ago

    Hello dz, you folks reckon Thomas gonna keep his place on the starting 11 for Leicester?

    1. seewhyaxe
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 10 days ago

      in*

    2. Pukki Blinders
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 10 days ago

      Nope, Pereira should come in when fully fit

      1. seewhyaxe
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 10 days ago

        Cheers

  17. Stupendous
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 10 days ago

    Son and Neto to Zaha and JWP?

    1. Pukki Blinders
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 10 days ago

      No why not keep Son?

    2. Neo-Viper
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 10 days ago

      Good transfers. I was seriously considering Raph to JWP this week. Chickened out.

    3. C0YS
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 10 days ago

      No

  18. Ruinenlust
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 10 days ago

    Is Pickford a good pick for the DGW?

    1. Pukki Blinders
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 10 days ago

      One mistake and in comes Olsen

      1. Ruinenlust
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 10 days ago

        Has he been dropped for Olsen recently?

        1. Honker Muddlefoot
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 10 days ago

          No, not really. He was dropped for Olsen against Newcastle in November, and then he missed some matches through injury recently, and Olsen came in. That’s it.

    2. Honker Muddlefoot
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 10 days ago

      Not a bad shout with SHU and Wolves after the DGW.

  19. Neo-Viper
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 10 days ago

    Raph Vardy to Zaha DCL?

    Or Keep Vardy for the double. Have Nacho and Castagne too.

    Martínez
    Castagne TAA Coleman Dallas
    Salah Jlingz Greenwood
    Vardy Kane Nacho

    Johnstone Raphinha Dunk Trossard

    1. Neo-Viper
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 10 days ago

      Can to Trossard to Zaha too, if I get Vardy out

      1. Alcapaul
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 10 days ago

        Like it. Id keep Raphinha over Trossard. If Raphinha is back soon he's a much better option for the last few weeks.

        1. Neo-Viper
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 10 days ago

          Cheers. Thanks man!!

          1. Alcapaul
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 3 Years

            No problem. Good luck.

  20. Letsgo!
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 10 days ago

    Chances of mount starting today? Really hope he starts and not just a cameo.
    Chelsea still need top 4 and win games right?

    1. Alcapaul
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 10 days ago

      Wouldn't be surprised to see him rested but you never know

  21. davies
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 10 days ago

    Best defender for 4.4?

    Also, Jota or Lingard > Zaha?

    1. Alcapaul
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 10 days ago

      Ward, Ayling, Lowton and Holding all under 4.4. Jota

    2. C0YS
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 10 days ago

      Lingard, can score against any team.

  22. The Polymath
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 10 days ago

    Your front 3 for DGW?

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 10 days ago

      Richarlison, Iheanacho, Benteke

    2. The Son-dance Kid
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 10 days ago

      Will only have a front 2 (no FH, Brewster drinking up my bench). 5 in mod though.
      I have Kane and Nacho - if I had a choice of epukd be a toss up between Rich and Vardy

  23. RamaJama
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 10 days ago

    What about this FH team?

    Leno (Forster)
    Castagne, Shaw, TAA (holding, Mitchell)
    Bruno, Zaha, Greenwood, Salah (ASM)
    Kane, DCL, Nacho

    Have another 1.6 to spend, do csn optimize.

    Leno best gk?
    Greenwood worth it or other mid for Max 8.7?
    Ok with SGW players Kane, Salah and TAA?

    1. Alcapaul
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 10 days ago

      Looks good. Could potentially do Leno to Guaita and maybe Shaw or TAA to Digne.

      1. RamaJama
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 10 days ago

        Cheers! Lacazette an option instead of dcl?

        1. RamaJama
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 10 days ago

          Digne no attacking returns in 10 GWs

          1. Alcapaul
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 3 Years
            3 years, 10 days ago

            He has 1 assist and 5 clean sheets. That's 6 returns in 10, not bad.

      2. RamaJama
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 10 days ago

        And Siggy over Greenwood?

        1. Alcapaul
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 10 days ago

          Id go Greenwood and DCL over Siggy and Lacazette.

  24. Philosopher's Stones
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 10 days ago

    Really starting to get sick of my Vardy punt, tbh. Gonna give him the DGW, and then out he goes.

    1. Eleven Hag
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 10 days ago

      Hopefully Kane blanks too

      1. Philosopher's Stones
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 10 days ago

        Not for me, as he's my C

  25. The Suspended One

  26. C0YS
    • 8 Years

    Sell for Godfrey for higher DGW ceiling + GW36 game:

    1) Rudiger
    2) Azpi

    1. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 10 days ago

      2 if you need the money

      1. C0YS
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 10 days ago

        And if I don't? I guess the question is who has a higher chance of playing both DGW games with Chelsea's busy playing schedule?

        1. The Suspended One
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 10 days ago

          I’d say even odds. Rudi getting a rest this week, if he recovers I’d roll with him

    Yes or no? Any other players that are better to target for the double?

      Do you need to do the Vydra move? Seems a waste of a -4

    BB35 and FH36

    A) Which GK would you get for Forster
    B) Do you see any hits here that could pay off

    Mendy Forster
    TAA Shaw Rudiger Konsa Coady

      How much ITB? I'd be a bit wary of Jota's playing time so jota -> zaha could be worth a punt but it's a bit of a risk. Marty in goal if you can afford
