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.

      In fairness the reserve striker role is fast becoming like the reserve gk role.

      You want someone good enough and experienced enough to call on when needed, but unlikely to get many minutes or oust the main striker.

      We don't really know how big of a disadvantage it is to have the players blank yet. Man City can have a mid-week game in GW30. Man Utd and Chelsea can have a mid-week game in GW29. City got a DGW ahead of last years BGW, so I assume they will push for the same this year. Getting rid of the likes of Otamendi and Sterling would be foolish if they turn out to have a DGW. Agüero would of course make more sense to sell, as Jesus will return.

      With 5 players in my squad from these teams, I don't see any reason to think about this issue before GW27. We will likely not know anything definite before GW27 anyway, with the FA cup taking place between GW27 and GW28. Save up 2 transfers for GW28 and do the transfers as late as possible.
