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.

    A. Wilson + Jota + 5.5 def
    B. Vardy + Wesley + 5.0 def

    Each would be in my starting lineup absent extraordinary circumstances.

      I think the template has a 4.5m GK over Ederson and Fraser over Barkley.

      1. MrCloppity
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Fraser & King in
        Wilson & Barkley out

        1. George Sillett
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Poor advice imo.

          7 years, 1 month ago

          No King is rubbish. Fraser scored most of his points against the relegated teams and Brighton. Sheffield and Villa are nothing like those teams but hey let people find that out in a few weeks

          1. Annie
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years

            But they’ll be in the bottom half of the bottom half.

    2. Yoshimiwinz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      Lundstram instead of Kelly

    3. MarkoSD
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      yep but looks solid

    If anyone is interested in a cash league, we can use some fresh blood. Been running for about 7 years now. Typically around 30-40 entrants. Top 3 win cash. Also prizes for monthly winners. drinkup245@gmail.com for info.

    A league for Special Ones

    Code: uexptg

    League name: “NO SALAH”

    1. Nuka Girl
      • 10 Years

      Can I enter with a Salah team? Would probably win!!

  5. Lingard’s Shin Guards
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Thoughts on the current draft?

    Fab
    TAA VVD Digne Zinchenko
    Salah Sterling Fraser Perez
    Wilson Wood

    4.0 Dendoncker Greenwood Lundstrum

    Fraser will likely be Pulisic/Martial after the first two

    1. Bambi
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I like it, maybe fab --> 4.5 and VVD --> Robbo?

      1. Lingard’s Shin Guards

    Pope Button
    Zinchenko TAA Robbo Digne Lundstram

    0.5itb - best to keep it and save for after GW1?

    1. JJeyy

    What do we think of my team? Any advice?

    Heaton Ryan

    Alexander-Arnold Digne Laporte Lundstram Robertson

    Dendoncker Fraser Perez Sigurdsson Sterling

    Deulofeu Jiménez Wilson

    1. George Sillett

      Too few Egyptians.

    2. Kiwivillan

      It's like FPL team of last season. Boring no value sought

      1. THE Wild Rover
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        No Villa you mean?

      2. jacklockett
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        So maybe try a new signing or two?

        1. THE Wild Rover
          • 16 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Ignore him. It’s fine, tried and tested is usually better initially while the new boys settle (or don’t)

          Prefer Salah over Sterling to start

          1. THE Wild Rover
            • 16 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            And Pope over Ryan

            1. jacklockett
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 12 Years
              7 years, 1 month ago

              I was considering pope over Ryan, but he’s slightly injured isn’t he? And I went with sterling because of potential OoP

              1. THE Wild Rover
                • 16 Years
                7 years, 1 month ago

                Aguero is back in training and Liverpool’s fixtures are much better. You will know if Pope is fit enough in time

      3. jacklockett
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Some teams that have a complete overhaul don’t exactly click and fall to place immidietly, I like giving new signings a week or two to see how well they do

  8. JJeyy
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    KDB and Barkley

    Or

    Fraser and Bernardo Silva

    Best option?

    1. CYN
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      B for me

      think barkley is one to watch but im not convinced rn

  9. CYN
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    who do we think is more nailed - stones or zinchenko?

    worth going for one of them and bilva over walker and fraser?

    1. Davido989
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Neither really.

      Otamendi, Stones, Walker, Fernandinho can all play RCB.

      Laporte, Zinchenko, Mendy, Angelino can all play LB.

      When you pick a City defender that isn't Laporte, I think you accept that there's going to be times where you expect some points but they don't play.

      1. Ask Yourself
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        And that is why I am voting for ederson 2k19

        1. Davido989
          • 16 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          He doesn't cut it for me. I think the likes of Pickford, Fabs and one or two of the 4.5's will get more points per million.

          In fact if City concede one or two on Sunday, I can see many ignoring their defence from the start.

          We're mostly reactionary after all.

          1. Ask Yourself
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            I am sure you are right, last year was my first time trying ederson set and forget and every time it was so successful. Am struggling to see a better use of my money out there especially from GW3 onwards

    A lot of people on here selecting Perez over Tielemans. I prefer the latter despite the 'OOP.'

      Playing Cathcart and Diop every week is a horrible thought.

      Firmino is going to score well in relation to other strikers in that range. But the Liverpool defenders will match him for less money, and have higher ownership.

      If you don't have Sterling then you should at least have KDB imo.

      Ultimately, it's your team. But popular players are the best way to protect your rank.

      1. Super Silva
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers mate. Makes sense.

    2. Link
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Nice, but not sold on the Firm pick. How much is he? Vardy/Laca an option?

    3. Hart-ake
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Decent, but would go Vardy over Firmino to begin with.

  17. korbendallas82

    Ryan
    TAA, Robertson, Zinchenko, Coleman
    Mane, Bernardo S. De Bruyne, Zaha
    Wood, Kane

    Button Lundstram, Greenwood, Hayden.

    1. FC Hakkebøf
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Pretty good, but room for improvenent. Zaha is a tricky pick. Not sure about Wood (I know 2x hattricks in preseason but its preason). Mane is a bold pick as Im not sure he will start first gameweek. Ryan is a bad pick. No good 4.5's imo.

      1. korbendallas82
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Yes. These guys you mentioned im unsure about, in final draft. I just spent some time upgrading King to Vardy, and Then Vardy now to Kane. Ill be tinkering around some more.
        I think maby Vardy is smartest to start with. And have eighter Salah or Sterling in the team from start.

        Thanks for input.

  18. FC Hakkebøf
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    I think I solved the puzzle. No Sterling but easy to get him in with the current setup. Great balance in the team as well.

    Lloris
    Robertson TAA Digne Zinchenko
    Salah KDB Perez Barkley
    Kane King

    4.0 Greenwood Kelly Dendoncker

    Yes Barkley is a slight worry. But seems like he is going to play the number 10 role this year. At 6.0 he is worth the risk. If not, team is balanced enough to do some changes.

    1. Drip Doctor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Very nice.

      1. FC Hakkebøf
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks. Pretty satified my self. Love the balance in the team. Hopefully Barkley proces to be a good pick. And Perez as well. King is just a 2-week gamble

        1. Kiwivillan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years

          *1 week gamble

          1. FC Hakkebøf
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            Haha maybe.. I want Jota.. but waiting a bit before getting him

    2. onceuponatyne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      That is a good team, but I think of the big three, Sterling is number one on my sheet. The fact he'll be playing up front in that first game too......

      I do think that's a solid side though. 🙂

      1. FC Hakkebøf
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        I don't think Sterling is worth 1.5 more than Kane tbh. But I got him locked in for gw3 or 4 if he continues his fine form. Don't mind not having him vs WHU away and vs TOT at home.

        1. Pigeon
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          If KWP still starts against City, that's captain material imo

          1. FC Hakkebøf
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            You do that and I will captain Salah 🙂

            1. Pigeon
              • 10 Years
              7 years, 1 month ago

              I don't care who you captain tbh I was just making a statement

              1. FC Hakkebøf
                • 9 Years
                7 years, 1 month ago

                So was I. Was simply just polite and replied to your 'statement' since you commented on my post. No reason to get offensive Pigeon 🙂

                1. Pigeon
                  • 10 Years
                  7 years, 1 month ago

                  Sorry if it sounded offensive, wasn't my intention

        2. FC Hakkebøf
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Worth 1.0 more*

      2. FC Hakkebøf
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Will you captain him in the first two gameweeks? If no, then the damage will be minimum. Don't think many people will opt for him as captain the first two weeks

    3. MarkoSD
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      pretty good. barkley as a punt, why not

    4. Kellz86
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Would Pulisic potentially take free kicks/corners or share with Willian?

      1. FC Hakkebøf
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Don't know. Barkley scored a screamer in preseason. Not sure how Chelsea will line up. Not even sure Barkley will start as Mount is also a viable option. But I think Lampard likes Barkley

    5. Hart-ake
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Pretty similar to my own but I've gone Sterling over Kane.

      1. FC Hakkebøf
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Where did you go cheap then? Sacrificed GK?

  19. Kellz86
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Seeing Zinchenko's name popping up alot, I haven't followed preseason very closely but is Stones a viable alternative? Surely Laporte/Stones is the preferred CB pairing?

    1. Brosstan
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Stones is rubbish and will never be nailed in Pep's defense.

      1. FC Hakkebøf
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Who do you think will partner Laporte then?

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 10 Years

      Jesus only just saw it how terrifying. One of my biggest fears is something like that happening to me couldn’t imagine going through it myself

  21. Link
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Right here's the latest. Dropping double Pool defence and going for rotating 4.5s (not sure who yet). What say ye!?

    Heaton (4)
    Robertson - Coleman - Zinc - Diop/Dunk
    Salah - KDB - Bilva - Perez (Donks)
    Kane - Wilson (Greenwood)

    1. Kellz86
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      TAA on corners and some FK's, I'd keep him over Robertson if choosing between the two. I'm also deciding maybe the extra 2.5mil could be used elsewhere instead of a pool double up. Watch Norwich sneak a goal week 1 and this site will go into pandemonium.

  22. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
    • 9 Years

    Best two mids for max 11.5m?

    Already own Perez.

    1. Kiwivillan

      McGinn + 6m Double Villa if you want to

        Thanks, maybe Barkley as the 6.0?

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years

          I would consider Barkley myself if thought nailed. Actually probably may get him

      punt for draft only

      Irrespective of price, he has to play at least an hour on Sunday for him to be considered a GW1 option.

        Unfortunately this and I don’t think he will

      I look at this team and wonder where all the money has been spent.

        Feels strange doesn’t it. Keep searching for a Fraser on the bench or something.

          You only need to swap deulo/Hayden for Greenwood/Perez and it looks like nearly every team with Kane on here.

    Evening all. My teams pretty much set apart from a few places. Main problem is deciding wether to go with Laporte or Ederson. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

    ****
    TAA / VVD / Diop / ****
    Salah / Sterling / Sigurdsson / ****
    King / Vardy / ****
    Bench fodder

    I’m thinking.
    A) Ederson / 4.5 def / Deulofeu
    B) Heaton / Laporte / 6.0 mid

    Salah vs Sterling - the discussion

    Salah - played 1 friendly, just back from Internationals
    Sterling - Potentially up front instead of Aguero

    Both good fixtures... discuss.

      If you’ve got the guts and reckon Sterling will do better early doors, go for him. You know why everyone has Salah.

    2. Davido989

      Ideally but if it's either or, then it's definitely Salah for me.

      Pens, more captainable, more nailed, scores more points.

    3. Thescaff

      Data suggests Salah is the better option, although Sterling is capable of starting better

  28. Moeda

    Another tinker, another front line. Template backline though more attacking up top.

    Pope
    Robbo, Laporte, VVD, Digne
    KDB, Barkley, Perez, Salah
    Auba, Deulofeu

    Heaton, Greenwood, Dendocker, Kelly

    On to something or start again?

    1. noquarternt

      Looks very nice to me. Auba could be a great differential. Prefer him to Lacazette?

      1. Moeda
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        I've considered both. Want to see how they line up with Pope. If Laca is in the middle then it'll be him.

    2. FC Hakkebøf

      Basically the same as mine except you have Pope, Laporte and Auba whereas I have Lloris, Zinchenko and Kane
