Recapping the best Leicester players ahead of FPL restart

Now that the Premier League comeback has been confirmed, we are continuing our series of refresher articles to help you prepare for Fantasy Premier League’s return.

In this run of articles, we are recapping which players were in the best form when the United Kingdom’s coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak suspended the top-flight in March.

To do this, we are looking at each club’s last six matches, continuing with Leicester.

We have also assessed the impact of recently appointed Premier League managers, so this series covers the other 15 sides who have been under consistent leadership all season.

It must be said that a lot has changed since the end of Gameweek 29, not least because Premier League players have been unable to train with their team-mates for over two months. However, it still serves to remind ourselves which assets were the most appealing before the break.

As this article uses data from the Fantasy Football Scout Members Area, only those signed up to a valid package can access it in full.

      Seems like they are either waiting for the full TV fixture list or have a massive issue with the extension. If it's the later then it might not open for another day or two.

      The first 3 rounds of fixtures were only officially released on Friday afternoon, I doubt they work weekends. So Monday would be my guess unless they are waiting for the rest of the fixtures.

    Anyone else get the feeling the DGW could be a let down?

    For example, I could see Mane/Salah+Vardy close or matching KDB+Aubameyang

    Plus, Jimenez/Doherty have a very nice fixture vs hammers and Ings could do well at Norwich

    Besides KDB and Aguero, there are not too many players that I would be TOO scared not owning... (Ok, i might need a sofa for Aubameyang against Brighton but I’ll survive...)

    Obviously, with the FH it’s easy to load up which is fine, but my point is that I’m not convinced that there isn’t more value to be had using the FH say, the week after, with Spurs, Leicester and Wolves all having 3 decent fixtures.

    Any thoughts yourself??

          Yer that is true and the ones with good ranks are the ones who go on about what a great season it is. I think it's normal human behaviour, why would anyone enjoy a season that has been nothing but pain.

          I will say that you can't put it all down to someones fault for having a bad season though mate. I know we have different views on this and that is fine but i feel you massivly underrate how much luck is involved in this game. You can't do nothing once the deadline goes and you can't control anything after that. If you had a couple of very bad seasons back to back where nothing you do goes right you may understand where a few are coming from x

            I actually enjoyed my worst season the most. Viewed it as the greatest FPL challenge of my life. I was like Jon Snow charging from the front. Instead of whitewalkers there was bad luck instead. Bad luck coming at me from every angle. Bad luck trying to slay me. Bad luck trying to ride Ygritte. Then I realised it wasn't bad luck at all, it was whitewalkers. 😉

      Agree completely. I don't think I'm going to FH but even if I was I would still want Salah/Mane, TAA/Robbo and Jimenez in my team. I get the excitement around players with a double but just don't fancy the City mids who are only likely to start once and the Arsenal mids who simply aren't that good to outscore players like Salah, Mane and even Bruno Fernandes. TAA is also capable of double figures in any week and could easily beat any defender with a double.

      Of course it *could* be a let down. In fact it’s probably fairly likely that it *will* be a let down (they often are)

      But that doesn’t mean you can’t charge head first into it, bollock naked, painted red from head to toe, screaming DEATH OR VICTORY at the top of your voice rocking treble sheffield Utd defence, Pepe Reina, ~40m of Man City attackers, Auba, Laca and Mesut Goddamn Ozil though

      I'm FHing and getting at least 11 DGWers, but with that team I'd consider either going with what I've got or just using a standard transfer to punt on another DGW player, then possibly WC the week after to get a decent bench in order to get rid of BB the week after that. TC whenever, doesn't really matter.

      I think it's more to do with the fact the Premier League have only published the details of the fixtures of the first 3 Gameweeks. FPL can not resume until we have all the fixtures. Instead of the FPL those who are getting impatient should be emailing the PL in my view.

    Hot take, calling it now. If Lampard insists on using Werner as a lone striker instead of in tandem with another, he is going to be useless. Just wait a game and check the formation before jumping in.

    Always wondered why Werner was utter s*** in Russia 2 years ago. Then I realized Low insisted on using him alone up top. He always plays with a partner in RBL, whether it be in the half spaces (playmaking area) or otherwise.

      Lampard seems to like to play his #10 to play up with the striker. I think he'd he'd get support.

      He could also fit in at LW with a more physical striker like Tammy through the centre. Can see him latching onto some far-post crosses from Ziyech on the opposite flank.

      Pulisic's muscle injuries are getting silly now, so he can stand in out wide when needed.

      But I'm sure he will be used in a variety of ways. His versatility was likely a part of his appeal.
