When we heard that two of the best Fantasy Football assets were back in business, we were surprised.
If you were looking to sign a player this week, you might not have heard of Vardy, but he is one of only eight teams to play in gameweek 30 and they are guaranteed to have some double gameweeks to come.
Keep an eye on the recovery of Vardy because we will want him in our squad. James Maddison and Harvey Barnes are your other two top targets.
If you are a Reece James owner, you will be very grateful for the 18 points he brought you in gameweek 28, or 36 points if you were bold enough to captain him. He could possibly be back in action during gameweek 31 which is scheduled for the first weekend of April.
He might not be able to play this weekend because he already had a blank in gameweek 30.
If you are going to make a move to Chelsea, it is better to wait until gameweek 31 because Antonio Rudiger is the obvious replacement for James.
If you're looking for a better option in this gameweek, you could consider one of the defenders from the two teams playing twice - Spurs at Manchester United and Reds at Seagulls.
The bargain price of £4.7m is what Matt Doherty is for Spurs, as he has had a sensational couple of weeks as the right wing-back.
Spurs have a good run of games until the end of the season. They are one of eight teams to play in gameweek 30 and will have another double gameweek later in the schedule with the North London derby still to be rearranged.
With Ryan Sessegnon out injured, it looks like he will be the regular starter in the next couple of gameweeks, and you could get some decent attacking returns on the left flank.
It really depends on your budget, but don't look beyond Joel Matip. He has started 12 of the last 14 games in a backline that has only conceded two goals in the last seven league games.
If you still have that chip, you can triple Mo Salah. In gameweek 26 we missed out on his 84-point haul againstNorwich andLeeds because he was away atBrighton andArsenal.
Statman Dave pointed out in this week's Fantasy 606 that he has an excellent record against both clubs, with five goals and five assists in nine games against the Seagulls and eight goals and four assists in 12 appearances against the Gunners. You would expect him to start both games and be focused on catching Manchester City in the title race.
If I had to choose, I would plump for the triple captain chip over Harry Kane. He plays for the most potent attacking team in the division and is delivering consistently.
There should be another chance to use the triple captain chip on Kane or Salah further down the line, but they are both fit now and likely to start both games. When the opportunity presents itself again, you can not guarantee that will be the case.
One thing I would say is that you definitely want one of Harry Kane or Son Heung-min from this gameweek onwards and you should have a think about Dejan Kulusevski. He has amassed 33 points in his first 5 starts.
In terms of the other teams who double up this week, the ones to look out for are the attackers from Arsenal. They are good long-term assets for you.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin or Anthony Gordon could be great differential selections because of the home games against Wolves and Newcastle.
If Ryan Fraser is fit, I would go for him, but I wouldn't go for the other players as they have the hardest double-up this week with home games against Spurs andLiverpool.
Chris and Statman Dave are on the Fantasy 606 show. Gameweek 29 is available on the Sounds App.
