Leicester differentials could reward investment in 2019/20

1,915 Comments

Leicester City’s squad could provide Fantasy Premier League managers with some powerful differentials in the early part of 2019/20.

Probably because of uninspiring opening fixtures, none of Brendan Rodgers’ players is owned by more than 13.7% ahead of Gameweek 1.

However, there is enough in the underlying statistics from last year to suggest the Foxes could enjoy Rodgers’ first full season at the helm.

          VVD for one of the other Pool defenders would give you the 0.5 needed to get a 4.5m starting defender of your choice.

    The year Leicester won the league I started with Mahrez from GW1, because he had brilliant end of previous season. Last year I said to me you will start with Tielemans. BUT the signing of Perez made it difficult to choose. They are same price but if Perez plays up front with Vardy he edges it, right? convince me:)

      I have the same dilemma but my gut is saying Tielemans.
      Better player, knows his team mates and the setup now so should hit the ground running. Also have a guy feeling about McGinn being the next Fraser.

        2nd that! In regards of McGinn, how come so? That whole team is a bunch of new lads, and almost on a daily base they're adding new 1st team players, it comes across to me to be a bit naive, or is that just me?

      Perez, he will score goals, played for Newcastle who created little but still got into double figures in the past few seasons. I think 15 goals + 5-8 assists for him is possible with this Lei team.

        I'm just a bit sceptic about that fellow, as he had a hat-trick towards the end of last season, which takes away 25% of the total goals scored in almost 3000 minutes played. Don't get me wrong I'm very tempted myself, but for the moment I just think Tielemans has that bit more, he's a really efficient workhorse driving the attack to a high level. Perez will certainly benefit from that as well, but can't see Perez been a creator of too many chances, he depends on others such as Tielemans.

      Ayoze should fit in well at Leicester, especially if he produces the form he showed at the end of last season. The warning would be that at Newcastle he would go for long runs of matches where he wouldn't look like scoring.

          Maybe. But if you have Alisson then you most likely are running cheaper defenders. A 4.5 goalkeeper can easily get 130+ points in a season where as 4.5 defenders need to get lucky to get even 100. Spending the cash on more expensive defenders who can get 150+ points is there fore much more beneficial

      I like Bou attack, almost guaranteed goals. In Spurs, you have got Kane, who is not cheap. Son is the best option after his suspension. Moura and even Ndombele is a good shout, and Alli is 8.5 now, will he rediscover his previous best form?

        Nobody mentions Eriksen...whos previous 2 seasons were top drawer. Always a steady option

    Pope / (Button)
    Robbo // Azpillicueta // Coleman // Zinc // (Lundstram)
    Salah // Sterling // Barkley // Perez // (Dendonker)
    Kane // Deeney // (Greenwood)

    No love for big troy deeney around here , will take a gamble on him for first 5 fixtures and easy to swap for other 6.5 forwards if he doesnt provide. Think he could be a decent differential.

      Why'd you go with Perez over Tielmans? Currently debating this and looking for a voice of reason.

      Rest of your team looks good and pretty standard fare these days around here. Barkley an interesting choice/differential.

    Perez or Tielmans? Why?

    Also, any thoughts on Ben Gibson (BUR 4.0)? Read a few days ago he was getting the most mins in the pre-season for any 4.0 defender. Currently on Boly but considering a move to free up a bit of extra cash.

    Many thanks.

      I have both, one for the opportunity (Perez) and one for historical consistency (Tielemans)

    6.0m to spend on a midfielder. I’m currently looking at either Pererya, Capoue or Doucoure because Watford and their midfield usually start with a flourish. Anyone got any tips/advice though because I have the blinkers on and can’t see past that choice now

      Looks good. Perhaps change Murray/Wood to Wilson/Greenwood?

        I am not convinced with Greenwood. Plus I am planning to replace Murray with Wesley from Gameweek 2 because of their fixtures.

        Regarding Wood, he has scored a lot of goals towards the end of season and pre-season games too. But I can replace with King. Burnley has great fixtures from GW 5, so I can get him back then.

    A) Pope, Zinchencko, Coleman, KDB
    B) Ederson, Laporte, Digne, Sterling.

    Downgrading Sterling gives more strenght in defence.
