The Technical Area – Leicester Under Analysis

1,373 Comments
Share

After a disappointing 2016/17 campaign in which a post-title hangover dragged Leicester City down to twelfth place, things appear to be back on track at the King Power Stadium.

The Foxes sit comfortably in eighth spot, within touching distance of a European spot, and, more crucially, their Fantasy Premier League (FPL) assets are once again ticking over.

Having earned a much-deserved point at Stamford Bridge over the weekend (despite playing the final quarter with just 10 men), Leicester’s fixtures now turn strongly in their favour. Four of their next six matchups see the Foxes entertain lower-ranked opposition in the form of Watford, Swansea, Stoke, and Bournemouth – encouragingly, they are the only four teams who failed to collect a clean sheet in the last six Gameweeks.

With such an appealing slate on the horizon, this week’s Technical Area will be analysing Leicester’s Fantasy assets in detail to identify the outstanding FPL options within their ranks.

        you must be more specific as you will get this kind of answers 😉
        I would go DDG + 4.0 or Pickford + Hennesey

    If you're thinking about getting a Leicester player, this is worth a read: http://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/2018/01/08/the-new-manager-effect/

    The above article doesn't look at Expected data for the team since Puel took over. They have overachieved front and back somewhat so expect regression.

      2 out of their next 4 Everton & City away are fairly tough I’d like to see a bit more.

      Interested in Chilwell though as my 4th/5th defender looks a good cheap option if he’s nailed.
