The Technical Area – Leicester Under Analysis

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.

    CROUCH UPDATE

    Our reporters have been doing some digging and have been told there has been no approach from Chelsea for Peter Crouch.

    We understand Stoke aren’t aware of any interest from Chelsea, and they’d be reluctant to let Crouch leave without a replacement being lined up.

    1. CostaCoffee
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Total bs anyway, I’m reluctant to believe Andy Carroll rumours but we’d never stoop to the level of Big Pete

      people are just making this shit up to give the idiots on social media something to do

      1. Gooner97
        • 10 Years

        In this erapeople on social are making the transfer market sadly

          Not in the real world

    Hi
    Who would you drop if I transferred Arnautovic in for RLC with my other FT?

    Is it worth it?

    Thanks!

    Adrian
    Otamendi, Christiensen, Jones, Kenny
    Salah, Sterling, Eriksen, Son
    Kane, C. Wilson

    Fabianski, Ogbonna, RLC, Quarner

    1. SADIO SANÉ
      • 8 Years

      Kenny

    2. Reuser
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Probably Kenny.

      Arnie's ceiling is higher - so worth the risk if you want him medium term and want to ride price rises.

  5. Reuser
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Difficult to tell these days - but Arnie rose when at 80 on fplstatitistics.

    Currently on 84.

        yeah there was an explanation about it on the fplstatistics website... nothing like it happened since

    Evening all, I'm curious to know what's considered to be a decent team value at this stage of the season, any ideas ?

    1. Syd.
      • 14 Years

      105

    2. Fantasy Gold

    4. Rik Waller

      Sane single-handedly stole 0.5m of my TV

    5. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      The average top 10k team value is below 104.

  7. ooooo
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    A) Eriksen + DCL to Mahrez + Wilson(-4) this week
    B) Save and play Dunk

    2. Optimus.
      • 13 Years

      I can't see Mourinho starting imo

      1. Syd.
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        He could do if he uses Shaws body and his mind

    3. BUZZBOMB
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Think he'll be on the bench...

      51/49 B to your second question

  9. Differentiator
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Last iteration from me tonight. How would you improve this with 0.8 ITB without giving myself a benching headache

    Pickford - 3.9
    Duffy - Alonso - Jones - Stones - Kelly
    Sterling - Arnie - Mahrez - Salah - Tarroll
    Firmino - Wilson - Kane

    1. Buck The Trent
      • 12 Years

      not sure about Kelly

  10. jklong07

      Adrian
      Azpi - Christensen - Ota
      Lingard - Sterling - Salah - Arni
      Kane - Vardy - Firm

      Eliott - Kenny - RLC - Mbemba

      • 8 Years

      Sooooooooooooo, replacement for Morata....

      A - Aguero

      1. Epic Fail
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        A. Doesn't make a difference who else you have.

      2. FPL Blow-In
        • 11 Years

        B for me

    5. Kanteisking

      Ready to go this week? Next week the bench needs some work but for now good to go?

      Fab
      Otamendi, Jones, Chistensen
      Salah, Arnie, Sterling, Lingard, KDB
      Kane (c), Firmino

      How bad must morata be that Conte is trying to sign Andy Carroll and Peter Crouch?

        1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
          • 13 Years
          6 years, 3 months ago

          Several news sites have picked it up

          1. Syd.
            • 14 Years
            6 years, 3 months ago

            And you believe these people to be serious?

            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 14 Years

            Stoke has confirmed it too?

      2. Rik Waller
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        About as bad as he's been

      3. BUZZBOMB
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Small man syndrome. Have you seen the size of his car?
        Maybe he's morphing into Arsene.

        I genuinely can't fathom Chelsea out this season.

        1. Syd.
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 3 months ago

          Why post something like this when it is clear that there is no truth in these rumours, they are lies just like the one linking Sanchez to Chelsea was a lie

      4. Lazaretti
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Does that mean that Crouch will be out of squad against HUD?

        Conte clearly wants a target man.

      5. Wild Rover
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Is that the same Carroll who is out for a month?

      6. BUZZBOMB
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        And Stephen Merchant

    7. Klip Klopp
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      How does this team look for the next week?

      DDG
      Alonso / Ogbonna / Otamendi
      Chamberlain / Salah (c) / Arnautovic / Lingard / Sterling
      Kane / Firmino

      Bench: Elliot, Kenny, Depoitre, Duffy
      1.6 itb

      1. TheTinman
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Where's all your money gone? Errrm looks ok

        1. Klip Klopp
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 3 months ago

          lol my TV is 105, not sure what you're on about

      2. Lazaretti
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        GTG maybe C to Kane.

    8. Rhodes your boat
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Gomez or TAA a good option for next couple weeks?

      1. Lazaretti
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Gomez is ahead of TAA but think he will be rested also. I have Gomez I have cover for him if he is not playing. Dunk & Mee

    9. TheTinman
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      I'm in an interesting position here. Smashed last week out of the park. No major dilemmas, 2FT and 2.9m itb.
      No City players. Not too template. Looking at Zaha and DCL out.

      Thoughts?

      Hennessey
      Alonso Jones Cresswell
      Salah Son Pogba Arnie Zaha*
      Kane Wilson

      Speroni Wimmer Yedlin DCL*

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Upgrade a keeper?

      2. Lazaretti
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        do you have enough funds to do Zaha to Sterling or Sane.

    10. Delph & Safety
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Pickford, Elliot
      Alonso, Maguire, Masuaku, Schindler, Kiko
      Salah, Sterling, Sanè, Arnautovic, Son
      Kane, A.Gray, DCL

      0.3 ITB 2FTs

      Any Suggestions?
      Sane > Albrighton
      A Gray > Firmino/Vardy

      Or make a bench transfer and save?

      1. Lh909
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Firmino

      2. Lazaretti
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Maybe DCL to Crouch or Ayew. and save 1 FT. Swansea fixtures look bad and they don't score a lot. Stoke fixtures look better. Not sure if any other good budget option.

    11. Lh909
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      So, on a WC, this is where I'm at, thoughts appreciated

      Pickford
      Alonso - Ota - Jones
      Salah- Mahrez- Sterling - Arnie - Ibe
      Kane - Firmino

      Elliot - Ogbonna - JAyew - Mbemba

      0.2 in bank, unlimited transfers

      1. TheTinman
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Ibe? Scored his first goal in a season and a half or something

        1. Lh909
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 3 months ago

          It's either Pog and Ox or Ibe and Mahrez

          1. TheTinman
            • 8 Years
            6 years, 3 months ago

            Pog and Albrighton

            1. Lh909
              • 6 Years
              6 years, 3 months ago

              Thanks for your input, it's this site that sways me, initial picks were Pog and Ox, think gonna stick with that, got a feeling Pogs gonna go mental, and Sanchez most prob inbound

      2. TheTinman
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Also not Mbemba with blanks and doubles coming up

        1. Lh909
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 3 months ago

          Mbemba is the enabler

      3. The 12th Man
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Ota > Stones
        Ibe > Ox
        Mmemba > Tomkins

      4. Lazaretti
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        That's bit too template. Some differentials needed imo. But in general looks good.

    12. andymck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Pope Adrian
      Otamendi Christensen Mee Dunk Kabasele
      Salah Sterling Alli Arnautovic RLC
      Kane Aguero Quaner
      0.5 ITB, 2FT

      In a defensive predicament as I want Alonso and Jones but don't know who to get in first. I could downgrade Alli to Lingard and can then get Alonso in for Kabasele, then swap Christensen for Jones next week? Or should I be getting Jones in this week as I already have Christensen who will probably play.

            Well only because no united at that price. Well Smalling and Shaw but too risky with them 😉

        Maguire. No European games & not coming back from injury.

      I got loled @ in the scoutcast for my rough.
      #goals 😀

      On a sidenote, I want to do Pogba > Mane, have Morata and already used my FT to do Coutinho > Arnautovic.... I need help before I go through a -12 hit

        Avoid Big Sam strikers

      3. Syd.

        6 years, 3 months ago

        It doesn't really matter as Everton are on a downhill spiral and sre really struggling to score goals at the moment

        They have spent close to £200 million this season

        I think he will do well with the good fixtures. You’d imagine with siggy, Bolasie and now Walcott he should have decent supply!

        1. KeepCalm
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 3 months ago

          My thoughts exactly..

          And Coleman coming soon some crosses prob flying in. Rooney has also played quite well recently.

    17. Alan_T

      Holgate or Danilo?

      Fancy Sam to go defensive now

      1. LosBlancos
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        He will, but Holgate isn't nailed I think?
        Neither is Danilo though
        Toss a coin

        1. seanie3
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 3 months ago

          Danilo will play a few games now that Delph is out injured

      2. Syd.
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        He has been going defensive and it ain't working

    18. Andy1

      Got 2 ft, 1.6m in the bank and no idea what to to. 

      Any ideas

      Pickford Adrian
      Alonso ota Jones Kenny ogbonna
      Salah sterling son lingard rlc
      Kane firmino quaner

      Thinking I get rid of either
      Kenny
      Ogbonna
      Rlc
      Quaner

      Which is priority?

          It's not. I wanted to swap son for Silva, but at the moment that's not the move based on form. So don't want to lose the transfer
