Best Leicester City players to sign on FPL in 2018/19 – Complete Members’ Analysis

1,190 Comments

The departure of Riyad Mahrez is the theme that runs throughout our latest detailed analysis for the new Fantasy Premier League season.

The Algerian leaves a big hole at Leicester City from both a goal-scoring and assist-providing perspective, meaning those left behind will have to up their game.

We’ve gone over last season’s underlying statistics to assess which players could fill the void and whether the Foxes are worth considering in 2018/19 without Mahrez.

Fantasy Football Scout members can view that data in the Members’ Area and also read our full analysis of it below to help them pick the best possible FPL team this season.

    I think the RMT tool in members is a good tool. However, I think it could by slightly more user friendly in terms of:
    1) dragging players from the player lists to the team you pick.
    2) showing a rotated 11 in each week.
    3) updating points more accurately. I think, as the consensus shows on this site, it is far more productive to have cheap rotating players that have a major effect on points outcome.

    It might be me not grasping the tool particularly well, or the algorithm to do what I said is prohibitive in terms of computer power.

    I hope the "powers that be" read it.

        Can't help but feel that Christensen was a little hard done by last season - young, got a few unfortunate knocks at the wrong moments (i.e. 58 minutes) and also missed games with bad flu around Christmas time.

        Pretty much agree with most of the others though (with the exception of Kane and Hazard and possibly Willian)

            Faith in Kane certainly hurt me last season. And on the few occasions I have had Hazard, he has always let me down........

      With rotation becoming more and more of an issue each season, are people approaching their outfield bench differently?

      I'm trying to go for absolutely nailed players who are cheap but capable of delivering points - rather than 4.0 defensive punts, 4.5 midfielders who will get you 2 points max or non-playing cheaper strikers. Costs a little extra, but might be worth the investment?

      So currently - Tomkins, Kenedy and Cairney/Hughes.

        Nice. Similar themes to mine.

        I'm not a fan of Daniels (and Bournemouth defence in general), but I know some will disagree. At 4.5, I would recommend looking at a Wolves defender - 24 clean sheets last season and a manager known for defensive stability. Someone like Boly, or Doherty (if they don't sign a new fullback).

        Prefer Chalobah over Masauka, personally. But again, purely subjective. Need to keep an eye on Mhki over preseason to make sure he is nailed.

        For what it's worth, this is mine:

        Fabianski

        Robertson, Coleman, Mendy, Douglas
        Salah, Mahrez, Costa
        Aubameyang, Firmino, Tosun

        4.0, Tomkins, Kenedy, Cairney/Hughes

Charlie daniels is a difficult on, if bournemouth start strong he always has a good start to the season so will give him a chance, your team is solid mate, goood luck and thanks again.

        I've gone A and took the hit on the def. I know a lot of people are going on about the value of the defenders though. I'm hoping Peltier and Wan-Bassaka become viable as playing 4m for bench options to go 343 on a tighter budget.

        If someone like Coleman/Douglas/PVA look to be basically mids in pre season I'll bring them in and maybe look at a 433.

            As the season progresses it does get better, as they update the stats etc. First set of GWs are touch and go. However, I found it a great sounding board last season.

          Likewise. With Hazard handing in the request I can see them digging the heels in and not selling to Barca so Willian could be a big player for them. Front 3 of Higuain, Willian and Pedro could have value.

        I've been considering him. If I do get double liverpool attack I think he will be the second after Mo. Just doesn't fit in my team at the time of writing, plus don't want to make too many picks who are new to their teams.

        I think there's better value than Groß at 7.0, but I'm not really a fan of either due to personal preference. At least the 5-2-3 looks like it has a nice solid backline instead of picks like Cedric, although ideally the bench would be a little stronger to facilitate a formation change if it all goes tits up.

            The best squad I can put together excludes Salah - I have to run some numbers to see how many extra points the 3.5 million saved (by getting Mane or Eriksen) will get me by upgrading elsewhere - I suspect it’s about 6 points a game week, but lot more than the 2 or 3 extra points Salah may provide

            .... try to form a squad without Salah, it’s actually much more fun 🙂

        It's nice seeing so many rotation prone, and world cup risks being highly owned. Lingard at 17.6%, Trippier at 23.1%, TAA at 18.6%.

        Trippier rotates with Aurier anyway, but has just played an entire World Cup. Crazy that almost a quarter of players have picked him. A nailed on Trippier would be worth 7.0m, but it's just a dream atm.

        No. Ward could be the RB

        He made himself first choice at the end of last season but nailed is a step too far. Started again yesterday if i'm not mistaken though?

          He actually lost his place to Ward at the end of last season. Played a few games and looked good but was then back on the bench once Ward was fully fit.

        How can he possibly be nailed ? He is a 20 year old kid with just 7 PL games to his name and another seasoned PL fullback fit aand ready to go in his position.

        He may be a starter, he may get rotated, he may come off the bench ... that is all we know 🙂
