Duffy
Shane Duffy has seen plenty of transfer activity and is well placed as a captaincy contender for the Double Gameweek 34 tips. FPL Editor considers potential return values across the pair of fixtures.
Duffy’s back-to-back gameweek combos this year:
8, 9, 3, 13, 16, 4, 5, 12, 13, 7, 2, 11, 8, 8, 14, 10, 3, 0, 5, 13, 8, 10, 11, 4, 3
If we say any score under 5 is a failure, this only occurred 28% of the time
While his average back-to-back gameweek score this year is 8pts

Injuries
Harry Kane was set to be the top wildcard target and biggest captain candidate for the next two gameweeks. Ben Dinnery brings the prognosis of THAT injury picked up in the midweek Champions League fixture.
Tottenham confirm Harry Kane suffered a 'significant' lateral ligament injury to his left ankle during the @ChampionsLeague quarter-final first leg tie vs Man City. "Investigations are ongoing and he will continue to be assessed by our medical staff over the coming week." #COYS

Wildcard
Blank and Double Gameweek guru, Ben Crellin, shares his wildcard draft for the Gameweek 34 tips. After weeks of planning and an intricate spreadsheet, fantasy managers could learn a lot from this setup.
… My rank has surged in the last four GWs but I haven't actually had to make a difficult long term FPL decision for over a month.
Anyway, here's my first draft:
Template front 8
No LIV defence
I should have 2 FTs in GW36
0.3 itb
13 new players + Mane (PP: 9.5) + Leno (PP: 4.8) pic.twitter.com/KUEvWpynMw— Ben Crellin (@BenCrellin) April 11, 2019
Defenders
A big dilemma for fantasy managers this weekend is the number of Brighton defenders to bring in. FPL Vs considers that their home defensive record is excellent, and the opposition have a poor record. Could it be enough to captain?
#Brighton have the 6th best home defensive record with only #Spurs, #Arsenal, #Chelsea, #City and #Liverpool conceding less goals
Thier #DGW34 opponents have the 6th worst (#Bournemouth) and worst (#Cardiff) away goals scored record this season

Vardy
Many managers have an active wildcard and are loading up on as many double gameweek assets as possibly. Jamie Vardy shouldn’t be overlooked as a single gameweek asset though: form and fixtures converge here.
Vardy last 6 gws
Goals 7
Assists 2
Shots 20
Shots in box 16 (2nd)
Big chances 8 (2nd)
Shots on target 9 (2nd)He has scored 7 of his 8 big chances so he is back to his clinical best
Surely worth keeping on wildcard?

Odds
It’s Sergio Aguero who tops the anytime goalscorer charts for the initial Gameweek 34 fixtures, with Llorente pipping Son as the go to option from Spurs – will either of them be guaranteed minutes in the absence of Kane though?

Kun – 58%
Llorente – 55%
Lukaku – 54%
Son – 53%
Jesus – 52%
Auba – 51%
Vardy – 50%

Arsenal
Arsenal strikers are popular in the absence of Kane this weekend. Fantasy Football Pundits compares them in the latest FotMob player statistics: which one will you go for? Money may come into consideration here.
Aubameyang ? Lacazette
Tempted to replace Harry Kane with one of the above for Gameweek’s 34 and 35?
Auba has scored and started more then Laca this season, but hasn't played 90mins in either of their last 2 PL matches…

Captaincy
When it comes to captains, there tends to be two main unbreakable rules for FPL. However, with a lack of appealing attacking options for the double gameweek, it’s time to do the unthinkable.
"I'll never captain a defender"
"I'll never captain a single game week player in a double game week"
One rule must be broken. pic.twitter.com/Fw7tZVIL6F

Midfielders
With the strategy playing out for a Bench Boost in Gameweek 35, value players are necessary on the peripherals of our squads. Lateriser12 compared the midpriced midfielders for those wildcard teams.
