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.

          Not really: Dunk and Diop seem to be faves around here.

          If Arsenal tighten up, Koscienly and (hopefully Mustafi) go, Holding or Chambers could end up starting for Arsenal...I know they can’t defend, but a starting 4.5 for a top 6 team could be good. Just something to monitor.

            Not attracted by WHam or Brighton defence really. An Arsenal defender at 4.5 would be great!

            I think that Chambers or Holding would be terrible picks from a dire defence. Can't see the benefit of picking either of them.

              Have to assume that Arsenal will get some clean sheets at some point, they’re still going to finish in the top 6 and at 4.5 would offer tremendous value.

                  To a point but it’s important that a players finishing ability isn’t considered by XG it will judge Benteke in the same way it will judge Messi if you think they will have the same outcome it’s crazy! so to say Ryan Fraser is over performing because his XG says so and nothing else isn’t right in my opinion. I’m
                  Glad I didn’t look at his XG this time last year he was a huge

    Evening all! Back on 3-5-2 and quite liking this lot despite the weak bench:

    Pope
    TAA | Robbo | Coleman
    Salah | Sterling | Perez | Barkley | Norwood
    Kane | King

    Button | Lundstram | Kelly | Greenwood

    - Could drop one of TAA/Robbo to VVD to enable Digne over Coleman.

    - Norwood could be another 5.0 mid like Jorginho/Noble, although Norwood looks like he could be on all set pieces.

    - Still debating Perez or Tielemans also.

    Thoughts?

    Thanks

        Thank you. Would you downgrade one to VVD and get Digne?

        Or say use the 0.5 to get a 4.5 def or Perez to Maddison?

          I'd rather Wilson or Fraser if I was going Bourne. But think people are overlooking them fixtures too much, won't be as many goals as you think imo. Villas fixtures just as good after gw1 and Wesley looks prepped. From the 5.5m mids I'd say Robinson, Mcginn, ceballos, possibly even Hughes are good shouts

            Thanks, hmm I'm thinking set pieces atm hence King and Norwood.
            Either way, given the structure hopefully I can hop onto say Jota/another 5.0 mid

              Not sure Norwood will be on pens and all corners/freekick tbh. Depends who's on the pitch, also extremely deep atm just collecting balls from cbs and spraying. Not Done much in final 3rd for a while

                OK, he took 2 the other day with McGoldrick on the pitch and this site has him first for FKs and CKs.
                If not it's double Chelsea mid with Jorginho, or Noble or even Dendoncker and play 4-4-2 with a 4.5 def

        Cheers, the issue I'm having is where to spend a potential extra 0.5 by getting VVD!

        But, I can foresee myself being lured into 'wasting' sideways transfers swapping TAA/Robbo around when one is inevitably on more form or more nailed than the other.
        So if I have both, I can 1) Easily downgrade to VVD and 2) be content I have both anyway in case of the form switching.

        *Cue VVD to score a shed load from corners!

            The most viable alternative I can see is Norwood to Dendoncker at get a 4.5 def.

      I'd be really tempted to go Zin to VVD and Coleman to a 4.5.

      But only because of how popular (& annoying!) double pool defense is, to the point where you almost feel forced to have 2.

        I don't understand the logic here. Why would the 4.0 player not make it to GW 3? The only one I can see that being an issue for is Kelly, who might lose his spot to players coming back from injury. Is that what you mean?

          The ‘logic’ is that they’re 4.0m for a reason. Lundstram, Hanley, Kelly, Rico are all prospects because of injuries. As soon as the injuries are sorted the 4.0m option is back to the bench in real terms. Only one who potentially can be nailed is Lundstram.

      Wenger just stopped thinking about balance from 2009 onwards. No centre mid that was primarily a destroyer has been bought since then. Just forgot that he needed a Vieira/Gilberto Silva type player to win with all out attack strategies...

      I’ve seen better. The main reason I say this is because you’re very restricted- the Liverpool defenders are set and forget so you can’t really jump on a good defence with 2(4.0) and a 4.5. Don’t like Tielemans and Barkley- look for one of them.

    Trying out 4-5-1 thoughts please?

    Heaton
    Robbo Taa Digne Zinch
    Salah Sterling Siggy Perez Moura
    King

    Plan is to sell Moura and King in GWs 2-3 to these possible targets:
    Mids: Pulisic/Martial/Zaha/Barkley
    Strikers: Wesley/Haller/Tammy

      Good luck when injuries occur or suspensions. Planning transfers is risky business.

      If you don’t like BOTH then I think you have to drop one for a more long-term prospect.

      KWP - short term.

      And Callum Robinson is a 5.5 striker - classed as a midfielder...
