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.

    Time to cash in on Lingard? Is Ox an option now, he's only 5.6, could be the new Lingard & end up 6.5 in 7 or 8 GW's

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 7 Years

      I’ve just got him in! Great stats and hopefully do well in the next 2

    2. Viper
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      I sold Son for him last week so need to give him a few weeks at least to repay the faith

    3. BUZZBOMB
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Next week maybe imho. Think Lingard has a chance to show form is still there and need another week on Ox to see if he's nailed.

      1. Tazah
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Sanchez the issue

    4. seanie3
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      seeing lots on here looking to get rid of lingard, why? he has 40 points in the last 6 games and has only failed to score or get an assist in two of those 6 games.

      1. Duffy Dunk
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Exactly. Just because he blanked last week doesn't mean he became Morata.
        Don't forget he played just the 2nd half against Burnley and managed to score 2 goals.
        When does he play Burnley again..? 😉

    5. StoichkovFPL

      some are not patient enough

    6. Visionaries
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Looks like he's probably (not) going up tonight mate

    7. FPL Mentor
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Got Ox too. Aldo have Lingard n considered ditching him for ox. But both represent great value so went with both.

      Leaves me with:

      Adrian
      Christensen Valencia Jones
      Sterling Salah (C) Ox Lingard Arnie
      Kane Aguero

      (Elliot, Wilson, Mee, Mbemba)

  2. Viper
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Who would you bench for Alonso? Jones (Also have DDG), Robertson or Wilson?

    1. StoichkovFPL
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Robertson or Jones

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

    Fabianski, Elliot
    Alonso, Otamendi, Ogbonna, Holgate, Mariappa
    Salah, Sterling, Lingard, Arnie, Mahrez
    Kane, Firmino, Ayew

    How is that look for -4? Also 2.4 ITB.

  4. SuperMario
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Gents: 3.3m banked and 1FT

    Adrian
    Otamendi - Alonso - Wimmer
    Sterling - Eriksen - Son - Arnie - Lingard
    Kane (c) - DCL

    Elliot - Abraham - Mee - Kabasele

    A. Eriksen & Abraham --> Salah & Wilson
    B. Eriksen & DCL ---> Mahrez & Firmino

    Really like the suggestion of B as I have the exact cash but am I leaving a massive Salah shaped hole then for the coming weeks...

    1. StoichkovFPL
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Salah is best player in this game so..

      1. SuperMario
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        correct, im only messing with my own head by looking at options.

    2. George James

  5. andymck

    Still worth getting Lingard or have I missed the boat?

    1. seanie3
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      I think so, if I didn't own him by now I would look at Arnie as an alternative,

    2. StoichkovFPL
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      one blank and people selling so probably missed it

    3. FPL price manipulators are …
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      That boat is shipwrecked

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

      You know the drill - one blank and he's literally incapable of even kicking a football anymore. Sell for a -12

    Hi

    2 FT's this week

    Aguero & RLC ---> Firmino & Arnie?

    Thanks very much!

    1. Sotamendi84
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      If you were to play rlc prob yes

    2. Batchain
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      So get rid of Aguero just before he plays Newcastle at home?

    3. Like an Egyptian Magician
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      No. U can't possibly sell Kun ahead of 2 easy games while Jesus is out..

  8. Sotamendi84
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    What to do?
    Mahrez or kun (-4)?

    1. StoichkovFPL
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Mahrez

  9. Duffy Dunk
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Would you change anything? Mainly thinking if I should play Mustafi or Cresswell instead of someone else.

    Ryan
    Alonso Otamendi Jones
    Salah(C) Sterling Son Arnautovic Lingard
    Kane(VC) Firmino

    bench: Elliot Cresswell Mustafi Calvert

    1 FT, 0.3 itb

    1. Sotamendi84
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Save and GTG

    2. Batchain

  11. PaulParker

    Kenny - is his time in the team up?

    1. seanie3
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Not yet but very very soon, coleman is not far from a return..

      1. PaulParker
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Hmm, might keep a bit longer then. Ta

    2. Andy1
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Not yet, but coleman is back in training

  12. ooooo
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

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

    1. StoichkovFPL
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      both close so A as its good long term

  13. AI3user
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Pope (Elliott)
    Azpi Otamendi Jones Mee (Long)
    Salah Sterling Son Pogba (Surman)
    Kane Firmino (Niasse)

    1 FT, 1.5 ITB

    Any drastic measures, gtg?

    1) Pogba -> Arnautovic
    2) Azpi -> Alonso
    3) Pickford -> Pope
    4) Save

  14. Wild Rover
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Damn, .1m short of Lingard to wally 🙁

    1. Andy1
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Good

    2. FPL Maldini
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Do you think he’s nailed?

      1. Wild Rover
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        For sure

  15. goriuanx
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Pope to Pickford for free?

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

      I don't advocate keeper transfers unless your team is perfect

      1. enrico.palazzo
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Pope will soon be second choice with Heaton returning

    2. how now brown cow
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Sounds good

    3. Like an Egyptian Magician
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Yep

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

    What's going on with Simpson? Absolute bargain. Is he returning soon?

    1. enrico.palazzo
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      From the sounds of it yes - he’s been injured in my team for weeks. 4.3 would be a bargain indeed, but he doesn’t get any sort of returns other than CS

  17. Louis Cypher
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Fat Sam mentioned buying new bus permits so keep Kenny
    I'm West Ham - our def is leaky but 3 out of next 4 at home so keep Ogbonna
    Rlc to Sako who was great last weekend and Lingard to Arnie 7.0?
    In answer to your question RLC to go first as he is flagged...

  18. Sterling is £11Mill..…
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Just can’t picture Sanchez at Man U tbh but I guess the money is too good to turn down. He is a lot more appealing at Man U than Arsenal tho

    1. FPL price manipulators are …
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Big mistake. Just run down his contract

      1. Optimus.
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        This, it could cost Arsenal the 4th placed trophy

        1. Sterling is £11Mill..…
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          Probably, that was their logic for not selling him before. They get 50mil is it for champions league qualification so they wouldn’t sell for less then that

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

          His teammates don't like him anymore. Better to cash in now and use it to upgrade elsewhere.

        3. Like an Egyptian Magician
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          Arsenal have already lost their 4th place trophy

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

      £505,000.00 reasons a week to join United

  19. dan_247
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Some advise please. Would you WC this team:

    DDG Eliott
    Christiensen Ota Jones Mee Kenny
    Richarl Alli Son Arnie Lingard
    Kun Morata Carrol

    Only 1FT and 0.6 ITB

    Yes or no please

    1. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      No, just lose Morata and/or Carroll

    2. Jeuxer
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      NO !
      you still want to buy Morata? Richa and Alli aren't in a good form

      1. Wild Rover
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        That's why he wants rid 😉

    3. L S P
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      No please

      1. dan_247
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Perhaps should hve been clearer in my post. Thisnis my current team lol

  20. Kanteisking
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Sorry for re-post but any thoughts on this lot?

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

    Sub: Elliot, Ogbonna, DCL, Mariappa

    0.2ITB and no FT's is anything worth a hit?

    1. Like an Egyptian Magician
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Nope nothing worth a hit. Solid.

  21. Jeuxer
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    What do you think guys?
    Lingard out >> Albrighton in

    1. ooooo
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Not yet

      1. Jeuxer
        • 8 Years

        you mean till tommorrow or not this gw ?

        1. Like an Egyptian Magician
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          Not this gw

  22. SuperMario
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Very boring, but should one sell DCL or Abraham first??????

    1. ooooo
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Abraham

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

      DCL.

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

      DCL for me. Sam doesn't rate him and he'll only be subbed on for a few minutes at the end if we're chasing or Tosun (and Walcott too, I'd imagine) were injured. Get the feeling Tammy will still be getting minutes if and when he's fit. That said, I don't know how fit he is ....

    4. Like an Egyptian Magician
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Sell both and take hits if needed

  23. ooooo
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Eriksen + DCL to Mahrez + Wilson(-4)?
    Would have to play Dunk if I don’t

    1. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Difficult.. duni peolly wont get more than 1 or 2 points... but Eriksen could outscore Mahrez... 50/50 call.. do it if you have other transfers planned for the future

  24. Wetdream
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Keep Alli one more week or ship out for Mahrez now ?

    1. ooooo
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Keep

      1. Wetdream
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        But you're ditching Erik for him ?

        1. ooooo
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          Fundin DCL upgrade abs Eriksen plays too deep for me

  25. LosBlancos
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    I hope I'll be able to do Morata > Aubameyang soon.

    1. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      You havn't sold him yet? Yikes

  26. TheTinman

      Why don't you marry him?

      1. @chapellefpl OR 577TH

        He's taken mate.

        1. Epic Fail
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years

          He can have more than 1 wife.

          1. @chapellefpl OR 577TH
            • 7 Years

            Haha I'm a boy mate.

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

        I don't think he is a member of the clergy

    2. Tazah
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      What did he do?

      1. @chapellefpl OR 577TH
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Just a likable personality. Not smug for someone in his position.

    3. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Honestly, why cant a guy give another guy a compliment without being accused of kissing his butt? Is it just because Mark is famous on this site or what?

      Its not like he is gaining anything from it, or that he hopes Mark will favour him or reply to his post more often. It is very likely Mark wont even see this post.

      Grow up.

      1. @chapellefpl OR 577TH
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Cheers mate. Just ignore the haters.
