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.

    So, struggling a bit with my decision here;

    A) play Zanka. Do Mariappa->Dummett for future purposes

    B) Zanka -> Chilwell and play him

    Thoughts??

    1. WE GO FOR IT
      • 8 Years

    2. Kiwivillan

    DDG
    Alonso Jones Otamendi Dunk
    Salah Eriksen Sterling Lingard

      1. ooooo

        Yes

      Eriksen to Arnie and Dcl to Wilson ?

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

        Eriksen + DCL to Mahrez + DCL? Would be a -4 though

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

          *Wilson

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

    In that case I’d be dropping Lingard for Mahrez this week.

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

      Reply fail

  5. Ed
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Adrian
    Robertson Kenny Otamendi Christensen
    Lingard Arnautovic Salah Sterling Son
    Kane

    Ogbonna, Quaner, DCL

    Lots of money in the bank.

    A) Stick with the above
    B) Alonso in for a hit
    C) Firmino in for a hit

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

      Hold

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

    Just think, when the blankies and doubles come around, if you start with 1FT and pick sensibly, you can essentially make 5 extra transfers at the net cost of 10 pts!

    G2G lads?

    Adrian
    Alonso Jones Davies
    Sterling Salah Lingard Rich Albrighton
    Kane Kun

    Ryan Ayew Masuaku Bardsley

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

      Nice team!

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

    Adrian
    Stones TAA Jones
    Salah (c) Lanzini Sterling Arnautovic Son
    Kane Aguero

    Ryan; Dunk Lascelles Quaner

    Good to go? Or captain Aguero or Kane over Salah?

    1. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Nice team. Captain this week is tough

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

      Salah, Kane and Kun are all good and sensible options. Monday night football for Salah is tempting. Maybe find a replacement for TAA soon. Hard to predict when he starts

      1. Francescoli
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Yeah I understand he doesn’t play much but when he does he does really well. So as long as I have a playing bench he’s a pretty good option.

        Captaincy is tough this week.

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

          fair point. Klopp isn't the manager to play safe when leading. Maybe he should though 😉

          1. Francescoli
            • 9 Years
            6 years, 3 months ago

            TAA is essentially a winger when he does play. He loves a key pass and seems to get bonus points.

            I may look to getting Maguire or an Everton defender shortly

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

      Would captain Sergio personally

      1. Francescoli
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Currently have the VC on him. Tempted to switch it though.

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

    Best 5.5 def
    A) Stones
    B) Maguire
    C) VVD
    D) Shaw

    1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Vvd

    2. WE GO FOR IT
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Shaw, if he is nailed.

  10. TooDifficuIt
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Salah didn't train today due to illness, i don't know if you know it or not

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

      Link?

        1. TooDifficuIt
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 3 months ago

          the headline says cold is the reason why salah missed the liverpool training, and in the body just some information about the next game nothing more said but it's very reliable here probably salah agent or salah himself who told them so

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

      Don't play until Monday anyway even if it's true

  11. Liastro ⭐️

    Would you wildcard this mess?

    Adrian Elliot
    Otamendi Christensen Kenny Ogbonna Mbemba
    Salah Alli Sterling Arnautovic RLC
    Kane Firmino Wilson

    1. TorresMagic™

      lol

    2. Francescoli

      No mate. Looks good.

    3. WE GO FOR IT
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      That's not a mess. Team looks good to go.
      If you have a FT, RLC to Ibe or upgrade Mbemba. Otherwise, it looks good.

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

      ? Mess?

    5. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      I see a very nice 343 this week

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

      It's not really a mess

    7. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Yes you need rid of all those players asap

    8. Optimus.
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      A -8 should suffice, Just get rid of Elliot, Mbemba and RLC

  12. Kryten
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years

    Sorry probably been asked what's the likley blanks for league Cup? Anyone have a link to a spreadsheet?

    1. Kryten

    Fab
    Otamendi Jones Alonso mariappa Mbemba
    Gross Salah Hazard Lingard Sterling
    Firmino Kane Dcl

    2 frees 0.2 in the bank
    I want Arnie in for gross but need to fund it by getting rid of
    A. Hazard to Mahrez
    B. Lingard to someone 5 m or under
    C.Otamendi to Danilo or someone 5 or under
    Ideally I'd like to keep hazard for this week.Any advice.
    Thoughts lads

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

      Haz > Mahrez, Gross > Arnie

      1. DA Minnion (Former great)
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Yeah that's the easy route
        I'd ideally like to keep hazard though for this week.

  14. Maddi Son
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    De Gea,
    Alonso, Otamendi, Azpi
    Arnie, Ox, Salah, Lingard, Sterling
    Firmino, Kane

    Elliot, Masuaku, Tomkins, Quaner

    Too much Liverpool?

    1. Kun Tozser
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      No there’s only 3 😉

    2. WE GO FOR IT
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Just a tad. Ox to Albrighton maybe?

      1. Maddi Son
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Definitely an option.

        By the way the above team isn't my current team. I'm thinking of losing Son & Hegazi for Ox & Azpi. But maybe Albrighton & Azpi is the way to go.

        1. WE GO FOR IT
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 3 months ago

          Yeah! That looks good. Triple pool can be a good differential against Swansea though.

          1. Maddi Son
            • 6 Years
            6 years, 3 months ago

            Hmm decisions.

    3. Kun Tozser
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Does Alonso and Albrighton work?

      1. Maddi Son
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        I already have Alonso mate. This is my current team:

        De Gea,
        Alonso, Otamendi, Hegazi
        Arnie, Son, Salah, Lingard, Sterling
        Firmino, Kane

        Elliot, Masuaku, Tomkins, Quaner

        I'm thinking of losing Son & Hegazi and I have exact funds for Ox/Albrighton & Azpi.

  15. rdamjan

    Eriksen to Mahrez or Mane?

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

      both good options. Would pick Mahrez myself

    2. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 6 Years

      Mahrez

    3. yemzinho

      mahrez

  16. Ghost86
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Who would you transfer in from these two to get in Pickford?

    A) Shaqiri
    B) Oxlade-Chamberlain

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

      B

    2. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Shaq

  17. jonnytaylor86

    How much will Aubameyang cost if he comes in? 10.5 ?

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

      Probably

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

    Gtg? -4 0.3m itb

    Courtois
    Alonso,Christiansen,Otamendi
    Salah(vc)Sterling,Mahrez,Lingard,Arnautovic
    Kane(c)Firmino

    Elliot,Quaner,Kenny,Masuaku

  19. timmmuh
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Lanzini (as differential) or Arnie next week (moving on from Son)? Owned Arnie 2x this year and got a red card in week 2 and a flubbed DGW ...

    1. WE GO FOR IT
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Stay away from Arnie! 😛

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

    Eriksen + DCL to Mahrez + Wilson(-4)?

    DDG
    Alonso Jones Otamendi
    Salah Eriksen Sterling Lingard
    Kane Firmino Wilson

    Elliot RLC Dunk Yedlin

  21. Karan14
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Pope to Pickford worth (-4)?

    Won’t have a ft next few weeks to make this move.

    Appreciate your thoughts!

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

      i would do it

    2. WE GO FOR IT
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      As good a week to take the hit. Pickford can easily get 6 + save points.

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

    Evening all, the Ox or Ibe? Have Salah and Firmino

    Thanks in advance

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

      Ibe

    2. Optimus.
      • 13 Years

      Ibe doesn't play for Liverpool anymore

    3. WE GO FOR IT

    Who would you rather?

    Son and Arnie or Mahrez and Lanzini?

    Been reading a lot about seeking out differentials and I feel the second option ticks that box but is also not just doing it for the sake of it!

    Anyone else in a similar position?

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

    Callum Wilson anyone?

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

      a couple of weeks ago yes. Still a good option though 😉

    2. WE GO FOR IT
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Have him since GW22. But will have to bench him this GW 🙁

  25. RVP20
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Should I do Christensen & Morata > Alonso & Firmino for -4?

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

      Yes

    2. WE GO FOR IT
      • 8 Years

      Yes. Totally worth the hit.

    3. Tibbs

      Wish I had done this, yes.

    4. Francescoli

      Sound moves

  26. Tibbs
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Already pulled the trigger on Morata>>Aguero. 1FT left, what do you prefer:

    1) Alli>>Mahrez
    2) Gross>> Albrighton
    3) Alli + Gross>> Mahrez and The Ox (-4)

    1. ooooo
      • 6 Years

  27. THFC4LIFE
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    If your rank was terrible and you was miles behind in your cash ML, who would you captain?

    A. Kane
    B. Salah
    C. Kun

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

      c

    2. Tibbs
      • 13 Years

      Kun probably

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

      Depends who your rivals have.

    4. WE GO FOR IT
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Depends on who the ones above you are captaining.
      Kun will be a differential overall.

      1. THFC4LIFE
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        I’m 58th in my cash ML lol there’s a lot of rivals ahead of me

  28. Nabzzy
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Should I do Morata & DCL > Firmino & Wilson with 1.8iTB and -4 pts hit ?

    1. WE GO FOR IT
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Looks good.

      1. Nabzzy
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Or Morata & McArther(4.3) > Firmino & Lingard ?

        -4pts 0.2iTB the front 8 will look like

        Sterling Arnie Pogba Salah Lingard
        Firmino Kane DCL

        1. WE GO FOR IT
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 3 months ago

          Morata and DCL out looks better imo, especially with DCL not first choice anymore.

  29. Tazah

    pressers tomorrow?

  30. FPL Blow-In
    • 11 Years

    Martial would be gold if he wasn’t rotated as much.

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Addition of Sanchez doesn't help this
