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.

      A if doing great
      B if needing to differentiate to make up ground OR/ML wise

        I'm not ranked first so then always playing a catch up. 😉

  2. Dr. Agabuse

    With Sanchez coming, getting Lingard now, would be stupid, aye?

      • 12 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Erm not too stupid I'd say, possibly not to be recommended but we don't know where Sanchez will play in the team. I'd probably be looking at alternatives like Albrighton or Jonty's man Ibe, tho

      Not until proven so, I think it rather impacts Mata

    looking quite ahead... Spurs vs Man Utd predictions? Got both DDG and Jones so thinking about shifting them out with bgw looming.

      It hasn't happened yet. This is the sort of thing where I'm happy to have it on my mind but cross that bridge when it's definitely one I've gotta cross as it were

      Hey Melvin! Yet another platform where we meet haha
      Think one of your west ham defenders has to go, too exposed to their defensive frailty.
      Be tempted to try to make it one more week and roll Ft though and potentially make some bigger changes with a mini wildcard
      Maybe Gross Masuaku and Kenny out, Ibe Maguire Dummett in then.
      Boring but maintenance!

    Do you guys think triple City could work? Sterling, Sane and Gundogan?

    1. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Long term no.

    2. Dr. Agabuse
      • 13 Years

      Silva in for Gundogan lurking.

    1. Sims

      its a coin toss really. i think he has the slight advantage with kane over aguero

    2. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      This really is a pointless question as the true answer is nobody knows.

    Best option here gents:

    Adrian
    Jones, Ottamendi, Christensen
    Salah, Sterling, Richarlison, Arnie, Son
    Kane, Morata*

    Fabianski; Ogbonna, DCL, Duffy

    A) Morata -> Firminio
    B) Morata and Christensen -> Vardy and Alonso (-4)
    C) Morata and Richar -> Aguero and Ibe (-4)
    C) Morata, Richar and Chris -> Firm, Albrighton (or Ox) and Alonso (-8)

  9. Redcat1

    Any transfer advice ? 2 transfers and 0.4m

    Foster, Myhill
    Christensen, Mustafi, Otamendi, Musuaku, Mariappa
    Eriksen, Salah, Sterling, Lingard, Obiang
    Firminio, Kane, Vardy

    Happy with GK's,
    Upgrade Mariappa to Tomkins to have full playing squad ?
    Use both transfers to get Aguero in for Vardy ?
    Move out Christensen/Mustafi for Jones/VVD ?

    Any feedback appreciated

    1. SoccerBoi69
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Chilwell over Tomkins? Possibly.

      1. Redcat1
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Didn’t think of that, good call

  10. SoccerBoi69
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Pickford - Adrián
    Alonso - Stones - Jones - VVD - Chilwell
    Salah - Sterling - Mahrez - Son - Arnautovic
    Kane - Firmino - Ayew

    Any way of improving this? 0.3 ITB ...can get there with a hit (or two (yeah, two) by next week.

    1. Sims
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      if its your post hits team how do we know if you can improve this? which players are you selling/buying as part of your hits?

      1. SoccerBoi69
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        I was thinking purely as any better way to spend funds (perhaps Lingard + Wilson over Arnie + Ayew) ANYRATE...

        Pickford - Adrián
        Alonso - Otamendi - Jones - Dunk - Ogbonna
        Salah - Sterling - Mahrez - Son - Arnautovic
        Kane - Firmino - Quaner

        Ota > Stones
        Dunk > VVD
        Ogbonna > Chilwell
        Quaner > Ayew

    2. grig
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      I'd be quite happy with that team tbh. At least as things stand atm.

  11. Dr. Agabuse
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    United fans here?
    With Sanchez most likely playing in Martials position, will Martial move to the right?
    Do United need Lingard for balance with Pogba attacking. Is it basically a 433 instead of a 4231?

    1. Dr. Agabuse
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Mahrez possibly rising tonight?

      1. Dr. Agabuse
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        ups

    2. Pooodle
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      To be honest it's pretty unclear. You would imagine he'd be locked into one of the wing slots but could be either, and I don't think you can easily say that one player in particular will miss out because there's been lots of rotation in those positions this year already. On balance I'd stay away from any of their other mids until it becomes clearer.

    3. Numb
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      I think Sanchez could play on the right with Mata dropping out

    4. Dannyb
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      He's likely to take Mata's place unfortunately. Martial is in pretty decent form and I think it would destroy him at United if he kept getting benched.

    5. The Enlightener
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Will be even more cloudy when Bale arrives! :mrgreen:

    6. El Lobito 10
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Mata will make way it seems

    7. The real slim shady
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Will prob play as striker when Lukaku needs a rest aswell. Lukaku been playing to many games.

    8. Krionos
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      No one seems to entertain the idea that he will steal gametime from lukaku then?

    9. WE GO FOR IT
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Only Mou has an idea. He can play anywhere in the front 4 spots. Most likely will go on the right imo.

  12. Kevtheotter
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Hey guys what you think of below

    Adrian
    Ogbonna Ota Alonso
    Richarlison Alli Sterling Arnie Lingard
    Kane Firmino

    Elliot DCL Naughton Zanka 1FT 3.1 ITB

    A) Alli to Salah
    B) Richarlison + Alli —> Salah + Silva -4
    C) Richarlison + DCL —> Salah + 4.6 -4

    Cheers

    1. Pooodle
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      C for me.

      Don't get Silva because he's going to be missing games until his personal issues are resolved.

  13. Mika-eel
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Had to chuckle when Jay, on his YouTube channel say " Patrick Aboomerang" admittedly he knew he said it wrong.

  14. Pirlø's Pen

    Views on this appreciated. GTG or change bench around.

    Adrian
    Alonso Otamendi Maguire Kenny
    Salah Sterling Arnautovic Lingard
    Kane (C) Aguero

    Pope Richarlison Masuaku Quaner

      Nice

    2. Another Hoops
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Save transfer and look to change Pope when you know more.

    3. Uncle Avram
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Looks good but move Masuaku to 1st sub

  15. Dr. Agabuse
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Mahrez rising tonite?

  16. Another Hoops
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Hello. Maguire or Jones?

    A) Maguire has good fixtures & goal potential.

    B) Jones has decent fixtures, no goal threat but mean United cover against ML rivals.

    1. Pooodle
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Jones for me - think more cleansheets for United and their defenders are so highly owned.

      1. Another Hoops
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Yeah was thinking the same. It's just Maguire's goal threat is really appealing to me & I'm always worried about Jose rotating towards the end of the season.

        Can always downgrade if need to though.

  17. The 12th Man
    • 12 Years

    Transfers done.
    Sacrificed KDB to get Kane.

    KDB,Rooney > Arnautovic,Kane -4

    1. Another Hoops

      Fine as long as you have other City cover pal.

      1. The 12th Man
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Sterling and Otamendi

      I don't get this, if you don't own now is not the time to get him

      1. The 12th Man
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Long term move.
        I’ve agonised about it all week.

    3. Lone Wolf FPL
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      not sure about that but probably good long term

    4. Dannyb
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      I would of done Aguero instead of Kane for the next few tbh.

      1. The 12th Man
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Nah. Not for me

    5. Shineonme
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      good move imo

  18. Lone Wolf FPL
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Fabianski, Elliot
    Alonso, Otamendi, Ogbonna, Holgate, Mariappa
    Salah, Sterling, Lingard, Arnie, RLC
    Kane, Firmino, Morata

    a) RLC, Morata > KDB, Quaner -4
    b) RLC, Morata > Mahrez, Ayew -4
    c) Morata > Vardy

    1. Another Hoops
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      I like B as it gives you 8 players who actually play rather than C where you're stuck with an injured RLC.

      Getting De Bruyne in though is a shout but I'm not feeling Quaner as a 3rd striker.

      1. Lone Wolf FPL
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        exacly same thinking here! cheers for saying that. question is is that B option worth -4 over the C one

        1. Another Hoops
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          Maybe not this week but in the long run I would say yes.

      • 10 Years

      all G2G posts teams look good. question is are you thinking about to change something. if so, ask it here.

    3. Another Hoops
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Is this your team or a WC team? Walcott could be a shout but as discussed might be a wait & see. I feel as though he might start on the bench this week and replace Bolasie.

                He would be decent. I love Baines and he was looking back in form before his injury but is obviously past him best now.

            Thanks! Keep me posted, please?

            Any preference between Kenny and Holgate?

            1. The 12th Man
              • 12 Years
              7 years, 11 months ago

              Kenny’s place to lose. However Coleman is back in training and probably will be brought back eventually.

              BFS seems to like young Holgate. Will rotate with ageing Jagielka and Williams. There Keane as well in the mix.

              Think At the moment Kenny is still the one to go for.
              Martina needs to go but Baines can’t handle playing every game when fit. If no left back is signed then consider Him.

              This is just my humble opinion.

                Absolutely brilliant - thank you. So Martina unless signing, then Kenny otherwise. Excellent.

          Thinking about Lingard > Walcott myself in a couple of weeks.

    I hope Individual from WGTA doesn't mind me pasting his thoughts on captaincy this week:

    'Best evidence is where you are in your MLs / OR
    Doing well = Salah. Consistency (Higher floor)
    Doing OK but wanting a push = Kane. Explosiveness (Higher ceiling)
    Needing a differential = Kun. Less owned
    Whichever best suits your side.'

    Like the floor/ceiling approach BUT how does EO impact this weeks captaincy decision, especially for Aguero owners?

    if I captain Kane and he blanks, but Aguero hauls, I still may get a slight rank boost
    if I captain Aguero and he blanks, but Kane hauls, I'm doomed

    Is this nonsense or should you factor this into the decision?

      Think you just need to pick the best side as you see it. You can overthink this

    I'm really tempted to do Lingard > Arnautovic. Main attacking threat in a West Ham side that have a really solid run of fixtures. Just can't decide whether I should do it now or wait since Lingard is much better away than home.

      I have both, if I had to get rid of one at the moment it would probably be Lingard to be fair.

    Alonso in for?

    1. Christensen
    2. Mustafi

    1. Teror
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Hm. I don't like dubbling up but I'm tempted to say 2

    2. Optimus.
      • 14 Years

      1 as Mustafi might be on penos now with Sanchez and Walcott leaving

      1. Defcons are for Kinnear
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Ahead of Cech?

        1. Optimus.
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          I forgot about Cech actually

            This is a family place mate

    3. La Roja
      • 13 Years

      Uno

    4. Henning
      • 11 Years

    Pope
    Jones Ogbonna Christensen
    Sane Arnie Salah Son Richarlison
    Kane Aguero

    Elliot Mee Duffy Niasse 0.0 2FT

    Looking at Pope & Richarlison to Pickford & Shaqiri

    Decent moves for this team?
    Sadly have to do both exact funds

    Who to ditch for Salah? Would be a -4:

    Alli Son Sterling Lingard
    Kane Firmino

    £2.6m in bank

    1. Defcons are for Kinnear
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Lingard or Alli
