<h2>FPL Double Gameweek 34 Transfer Tip</h2>
A simple rule has emerged regarding who to bring into your team for Double Gameweek 34.
That rule is: &#8216;Anyone in a Chelsea shirt&#8217;.
Of the current top ten for DGW34 transfers in, six of them play for Thomas Tuchel&#8217;s team.
The Blues are one of just two sides with double fixtures this week.
The other is Man United, who are currently experimenting with a new look called &#8216;Overpriced Norwich&#8217; although that perhaps does some disservice to the Canaries.
So Chelsea players it is then.
Mason Mount (£7.6m) currently leads the way for purchases, with three team-mates, including Reece James (£6.3m), also in the top seven.
Ninth on the list is Antonio Rudiger (£6.2m).
There are some strong reasons why he should be far higher.
Chelsea are at home to West Ham and then away at Man United in Gameweek 34.
Those fixtures certainly suggest goals for the Blues. The Hammers have kept one clean sheet in nine matches, United just the one more.
Key attacking players from Chelsea are attracting the most interest as a result. And so is James, who is rightly singled out as a huge threat going forward.
But is he really?
He has 110 points from an injury-strewn season in which he&#8217;s played 1,247 minutes.
That&#8217;s an excellent tally, especially as Rudiger has a mere 21 points more from over double the pitch-time.
But it&#8217;s feast or famine with James.
He&#8217;s had eight decent returns this season, five of which have involved double-digit scores.
In fact, a massive 82 of his 110 points have come from those five mega-performances.
And none of them came against teams who were, at the time, in the top ten.
For instance, his first haul &#8211; an 18-pointer in Gameweek 2 &#8211; was away at an Arsenal side just settling into a disastrous start to their campaign.
Tuchel is talking about easing James back into consistent starts by playing him as one of three centre-halves.
That will reduce his attacking threat, and his overall lack of consistency is in direct contrast to Rudiger&#8217;s.

Yes, it obviously helps that a man who&#8217;s played the most minutes of any Chelsea player this season will have had his <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/opta/" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c="1" title="FPL Stats by OPTA - Player and Team Stats">stats</a> padded, to one degree or another, just by that very fact.
But the centre-back has certainly used those minutes well.
He is, after all, first among Chelsea defenders – and fourth overall in the side &#8211; for shots (39).
They&#8217;re not all Rudiger screamers from 25 yard either.
He&#8217;s fifth overall for attempts in the box (22), which has helped him to seventh overall for xG (3.02) – ahead of both Marcos Alonso (£5.5m) and James for the latter metric.
James beats him for goals (5 v 3), but three of those came in back-to-back games against Norwich and Newcastle in Gameweeks 9 and 10.
Rudiger has also managed to provide three assists from just 11 key passes, all of which means this season is already his best ever as an offensive threat.
And then there&#8217;s Chelsea&#8217;s defence&#8230;
The Blues have kept 14 clean sheets this season, 13 of which have come when Rudiger starts.
His last six matches – this article was written prior to Wednesday night&#8217;s clash with Arsenal – have produced five clean sheets, a goal and the following run of points: 7, 6, 6, 5, 6, 6.
Rudiger is as near to a nailed-on starter as exists in Tuchel&#8217;s world – he&#8217;s missed only two league games all season. That&#8217;s worth plenty during the run-in.
Chelsea also have another double, involving Wolves and Leeds, in Gameweek 36, and their other three fixtures – away at Everton and home to Leicester and Watford – all look like good bets for, at the very least, defensive returns.
With 25% ownership, the centre-half is the most popular Blues player in FPL.
So if you need a differential, I hope you enjoyed reading this far, but you&#8217;d better leave now.
For the rest of us, consistency of starts and, as a general rule, points makes Rudiger a stronger candidate for your Gameweek 34 money than his current transfer status suggests.
