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.

    Brighton v close to securing a new striker, say local Brighton press.

    Talks with Psv’s Jurgen Locadia at an advanced stage.

      Bugger. Murray mint dead. 🙂

    2. La Roja
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Murray bandwagon derailed

      7 years, 11 months ago

      They will get a new striker this window guaranteed. Vital to staying up.

      This guy - if the deal progresses- looks good. 45 goals in 123 PSV appearances. Can play left wing too

      Thought they were going for Niasse ðŸ™

      1. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        70% of transfer rumours are made up

      Hopefully Niasse 😀

      4 yr deal imminent says Brighton Argus sports writer Andy Naylor - used to work with him - v reliable journo.

          Well I'm not gonna follow him 😀 but he looks like he knows what he's talking about.

    As a long time Maguire owner he is a pain - kept benching his attacking returns and didn’t get cs when I wanted.

    But this is a compelling read.

    Worth adding that Dragovic appears to be instrumental in shut out potential. He looks key to those Maguire cs pts.

    If I decide to continue going Alonso less and maintaining a strong 5 mid then I must admit I’m tempted to go back to Maguire

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

      I want Maguire.
      May go Christiansen > Maguire next week.

    2. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      I don't like owning near 5.5m defenders that I don't play every week

    3. BERGKOP
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      The upside of Alonso is too appealing for me. OOP, attracts more points for CS and goals. If I had to choose one, week in week out, it'd have to be him.

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

        *not for CS.

    4. Duffy Dunk
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      A few weeks ago I was Alonsoless, had Christensen who didn't play, so it hurt too much seeing rivals getting those CS points I was missing.
      Not having Alonso felt like not having Kane. These 2 can get big points in every match they want.
      If you still resist Alonso, his latest returns have been 6 14 6 14 6 7 8.

    5. Jambot
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Same benched him for united goal and Chelsea clean sheet. He’s too expensive for lack of clean sheets and unpredictable attacking returns. His fixtures make me want to keep him but funds could definitely be spread elsewhere he’s not good enough to play every week and too expensive for the amount of times I bench him

    6. rdamjan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      What about Mahrez? Are you getting him? I will do Eriksen to Mahrez, I hope he will not be sold.

      1. J0E
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Yep - that’s pretty much locked in but have 2 ft so may use both

    7. FPL_Sponge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      I'm considering a strong 5 man back line and playing 4-4-2 or 4-3-3 with Alonso, Otamendi, Jones, Maguire and Mee at the back

  3. Malcolm Tucker for England …
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    Ox or Walcott this week?
    leaning towards Ox but can see a Wally haul too

    1. Uncle Avram
      • 10 Years

      Ox

    2. Defcons are for Kinnear
      • 12 Years

      I don’t like Arsenal fixtures

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        only this week tbh, will be Walcott then

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

      i'd ignore both for now tbh. Ox especially, a trap

        vs the Jacks? surely not?

        Ox is a trap? Let me guess you still own Rich or only recently sold

    I enjoy looking at this forum and reading opinions, and have done for a few years. All good and no complaints.

    Although saying no complaints, I would be far more interested in people's opinions if they also had their OR rank displayed next to their post.

    There are so many people on here who post their "advice" on teams, rmt's, etc.

    Just like reading anything on the internet I guess, just go with your gut instinct..

    1. LosBlancos

      Some members have their team linked in the profile

      1. rupopo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Yeah but I really can't be bothered clicking through the links just to see if someone has bothered to make a link to their team. But if someone has advice who is often in the top 10,000 v someone who has advice who is often in the top 3 million, i think that's worth knowing...

        1. Like an Egyptian Magician
          • 10 Years

          All it takes is 2 clicks dude. Come on.

    4. Gimli son of Gloin
      • 13 Years

      Disagree. Had my team linked two years or so back and never changed the link. Now I'm Egyptian, which is cool.

      Season history more useful than current rank

      1. The Polymath
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Agree

      2. Fantasy Gold
        • 11 Years

        People with crap ranks still can give good advice ya know

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

          They can but less likely

          1. 7shadesofsmoke
            • 12 Years
            7 years, 11 months ago

            not really.

            Rank can fluctuate massively down to peoples' start week, holidays, some misfortune etc. I remember Mark himself having a bit of a stinker not so many seasons back but his experience is immense. Plenty of good advice to give - i wouldn't write any of it off if he was having a poor season.

      3. rupopo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Agree, there are people in my mini leagues who are year after year in the top 10,000. Wish i knew how.

      4. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Not necessarily. Some of us are relatively new and are still figuring things out 😀

        1. rainy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          Which knowledge is also useful 😛

      5. Splash365
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Agreed......many of the best have poor starts and then claw back, fascinating to watch how they do it (as per the excellent articles on the HOF guys)......prefer the view of Mark or Jay ranked 5m after GW 1 than someone who had a lucky first week.......

        Having said that, I never worked out how to link my team. I will sort it tomorrow, but they could make it easier/compulsory......which would include the need to enter the FFS league...... I saw a post here recently of someone that didn't want to do that.....well then maybe they shouldn't get access to the club, this is irrespective ad to whether they want to pay the subscription fee.....which I am happy to by the way......

        1. Louis Cypher
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          I can't link my team either - the instructions are maybe out of date - on fame week history the url doesn't show on an iPhone - I will try at work tomorrow from a PC to see if he url shows

    6. Optimus.

      Rank means nothing rergarding advice in Fpl imo..

      I'm ranked almost 600k in FPL

      I'm ranked inside 150th in Sky FF

      1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        How many people play the sky game? Does it have a bigger skill gap?

        1. Optimus.
          • 14 Years

      3. lespaul
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        One season blips aside . Higher ranked managers will clearly give better advice

    7. 7shadesofsmoke
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      I think its the real test of a good FF manager to be honest - knowing how to tell what is good advice and what is bad.

      You should make decisions for yourself, the opinions are great as they help you play out the arguments for and against a decision but ultimately its down to us.

      I get where you are coming from, but for me I would never act on someones advice without evaluating it first - regardless of their rank.

      I think we run the risk of marginalising opinions when we start assigning them a rank.

      Well, humble brag (acknowledging there will be a lot on here with better history), I'm currently c7k, and finished top 10k last three seasons with best around 500. I still take advice from people on here as I like hearing opinions and seeing what they'd do in my shoes (especially as I'll overthink every move). What I think is important is knowing when to use that advice, and when to trust your gut, regardless of who is giving it.

      1. Alan_T

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

    3. FC Hakkebøf
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 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

      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
        • 12 Years

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

        Arsenal vs Man City might not be Blank in GW28.

        Arsenal will have a free midweek after the Carabao Cup Final, so if ARS/MCI reach the Final, they might provisionally move their GW28 fixture to Feb 27/28.
        (They'd have to reschedule it again if MCI get an FA Cup 5th round replay)

        https://twitter.com/i/moments/821445866900824064

        1. SADIO SANÉ
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          surely this will still happen even if it's a CHE/MCI final? In theory there could be no blank at all?

            1. SADIO SANÉ
              • 10 Years
              7 years, 11 months ago

              hmm completely made up percentages but okay - 'the powers that be may not want to reschedule it to the same night as a televised FA Cup replay.' - this makes sense I guess

          1. TorresMagic™
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 16 Years
            7 years, 11 months ago

            I doubt they want to play midweek after a big final.

      2. Sims

        city or arsenal go through. city&ars have a blank

        chelsea go through- utd & che have a blank

        city and chelsea need to go through for all 4 to have a blank

      Best thing about wildcarding now is that hits are 50% off when the blanks or doubles come around

        1. Differentiator

          • 10 Years

          I really don't understand when some people advocate taking a -12 rather than playing their wildcard. Really hard to justify that IMO

    11. That Fantasy Guy

        • 11 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Firmino bar the 18min sub appearance away to v Burnley was 36pts from previous 3 away and Aguero has been rubbish lately and Newcastle have never conceded more than 2 when Lascelles plays.

        Firmino easy

        1. That Fantasy Guy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years

        Assuming you have Kane, Firmino provides much greater team balance.

      I went to log into my Sky FF account and it's now asking me to verify my account? wtf?

      "Verifying your identity is a requirement of our licensing conditions under the UK Gambling Commission."

      Anyone else? This never happened me before

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

        If you’ve used it with cash you have to, or if you have won cash.

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

          I've never used it with cash. I did come 3rd in a FFS tournie years back earning a £50 betting voucher but never my own money. I've played SKY FF the past 3 seasons though and never got that

          1. Ruut
            • 8 Years

            Unless cash is involved you don’t need to. They can still ask but legally they don’t have to. Most likely because they’re linked to skybet is why they ask, you can contact them and say no.
            Most verification is done automatically which is why people don’t see that.

            Probably easier to verify yourself but if you want to refuse a few cross emails back and forth will do the trick, just going to take longer.

              They are asking for a print of my driving licence as they havn't been able to verify my account for the past month, wth 🙂

              Cheers mate for the replies, I think I will email them

                Yeah usually they try via the electoral roll, age verification. No worries, take it easy.

      Anyone apprehensive of getting Vardy? He seems to only score against top teams

      My team is pretty template and it needs a differential. I'm thinking either Miki, Walcott or Sanchez. The latter would take some re-jigging Mcjiggersons

              What’s your corners table mate? Couldn’t find it! I’m looking at Fabianski+Richarlison >> Pickford+Ox... solid moves? Appreciate your input as ever

                Be careful with Pickford. Expensive, and you might want Walcott and Tosun.

        It could be rescheduled to another day while remaining within the gw

      Right then, WC, fire at will...........

      Pickford
      Jones - Stones - Alonso
      Salah - Sterling - Pogba - Arnie
      Kane - Firmino - Wilson

      Elliot- Ibe - Ogbonna - Tarkowski

      1. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Good but I'd still have Lingard over Pogba

        1. Lh909
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          Think Pogba is gonna start tearing it up, if not, then it's an easy downgrade to lingard, which in turn will free up funds for the Sanchez

      2. Rhodes your boat

        Son over pogba and try get lingard too

        1. Rhodes your boat
          • 9 Years

          Downgrade pickford

      • 8 Years

      So has there been any post with proper evidence pointing me to best (C) choice between Kane and Kun? Or just stick it on Kun and hope for the best? I have Salah and Sterling too but it will be 1 of those 2...

      1. Individual
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        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 floor)
        Needing a differential = Kun. Less owned

        Whichever best suits your side

        1. SADIO SANÉ
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          how does EO affect this decision?

          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

          1. My heart goes Salalalalah
            • 8 Years

            Good reasoning

      2. Goalosaurus
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Depends how you look at it, some very basic stats on previous performance:

        Kane last 6 away games = 457 mins, 4 goals, returns in 2 games
        Southampton last 6 home games = conceded 10 goals, 0 clean sheets

        Aguero last 6 home games = 475 mins, 4 goals +1 assist, returns in 3 games
        Newcastle last 6 away games = conceded 12 goals, 1 clean sheet

      have you ever wondered how many points you’d have if you had never made a transfer or changed your captain?
