The last of four Premier League matches to take place on Sunday is the late kick-off at the King Power Stadium, with Burnley the visitors to Leicester.

Play gets underway at 19:00 BST.

Jamie Vardy (£10.1m) is the most-owned player on show in this game, with almost one in four Fantasy Premier League managers owning the Leicester City striker.

He is part of an unchanged starting XI, with James Maddison (£7.0m) again having to be content with a place on the bench.

After blanking in Gameweek 1, Burnley finally get their 2020/21 league campaign off and running.

As was the case at the end of last season, the Clarets are down to the bare bones.

Johann Berg Gudmundsson (£5.5m) picked up an injury in midweek, joining Ashley Barnes (£6.0m), Ben Mee (£5.0m) and Jack Cork (£5.0m) on the sidelines.

James Tarkowski (£5.5m) has also failed to recover from a “bruised toe”, so budget FPL defender Jimmy Dunne (£4.0m) is handed his first-ever Premier League start.

Robbie Brady (£5.0m), rather than an ‘out of position’ Erik Pieters (£4.5m), gets the nod in Gudmundsson’s absence.

Nick Pope (£5.5m), the leading FPL points-scorer among goalkeepers last season, is between the posts and is the only Burnley asset who boasts a double-digit ownership.

No goalkeeper kept more clean sheets away from home than Pope (seven) in 2019/20, although six of them came against clubs who finished in the bottom half.

Vardy registered 17 attacking returns at home last season, which no other FPL forward could top.


Leicester City XI: Schmeichel, Castagne, Ndidi, Soyuncu, Justin, Mendy, Ayoze Pérez, Tielemans, Praet, Barnes, Vardy.

Burnley XI: Pope, Bardsley, Long, Dunne, Taylor, Brady, Brownhill, Westwood, McNeil, Wood, Rodríguez.

    Hitting WC button tonight due to no Wolves/City assets, plus Bavies, Vinagre, ASM and Bissouma needing to go.

    11/15 picked - any thoughts on which looks best:

    A) TAA, JRodriguez, 4.5 mid, Jimenez
    B) VVD, Zaha, Podence, Martial

    1. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 1 month ago

      A

    2. 9I6
      6 years, 1 month ago

      A, just not sure who that 4.5 mis would be.

      1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Alzate for me

    3. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
      6 years, 1 month ago

      A

    4. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 1 month ago

      A) if the 4.5m mid can be benched.

    5. Scots Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 1 month ago

      A

    6. Hansel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 1 month ago

      TAA, Jrod, Soucek, Jimmy

  2. Oneman
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Rodriguez vs DCL what do people think? Straight swap greenwood for R is easy and rivals have DCL. Playing catch up after horrendous gw1 so don't want to just copy and DCL would mean hit...

    1. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 1 month ago

      DCL definitely. For me its actually between Roddy and Richy for the double up with DCL.

  3. 9I6
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Lots of players I want to get rid of but too early for a WC imo.

    Ryan, Button
    TAA, Taylor, Vinagre, Dallas, Mitchell
    Salah, Auba, KDB, Keita, Soucek
    Jimenez, Adams, Bamford

    1FT, 0.5itb

    Thinking maybe Auba, Adams & Keita -> Son, DCL, Zaha? Sucks to lose Auba but three 11.5+ mids is hindering the rest of the team.

  4. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
    6 years, 1 month ago

    With Tarkowski leaving, Dunne at 4.0 should be relatively nailed right?

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Long?

      1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Mee crocked

        1. Hazz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Once Mee is back.

          1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
            6 years, 1 month ago

            Think he’s out for quite a while

    2. Gobigorgohome
      6 years, 1 month ago

      not with today performance

    3. ivantys
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Think so, they have no fit CB already

    4. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I reckon so yes if Tark goes. It’ll be him and Mee when fit.

    5. Pep's Money Laundry
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Mee & long will be the starters if fit unless they sign another cb

      Is Tark is leaving for sure

      1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Mee is crocked

    6. CaTriEm
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Kevin Long was back-up CB last season while Jimmy Dunne was on loan at Sunderland so could be either one of them.

    7. Gooner Kebab
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Lovely for those on WC

  5. Collie01
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Pieters OG

  6. TRIPOS TOPPER
    6 years, 1 month ago

    anyone looking at Castagne?

    insanely attacking and already got returns in both games

    1. George Agdgdgwngo
      6 years, 1 month ago

      If only he was 0.5m cheaper

    2. Party time
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Lucky to have him already

    3. Sahil.....
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Next man city

    4. TRIPOS TOPPER
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I have Justin already otherwise would get him

  7. George Agdgdgwngo
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Rate in highest priority

    KDB
    Salah
    Bruno
    Hamez
    Son
    Werner
    Jimi

    1. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 1 month ago

      KDB
      Sterling (add him in)
      Jimi

    2. Gooner Kebab
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Bruno after Son

    3. Coys96
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Sterling
      KDB
      Werner
      Son
      Jimi
      Salah
      Hamez
      Bruno

      Salah low down bcos Sterling KDB at same price point

      1. George Agdgdgwngo
        6 years, 1 month ago

        I think Hamez is higher, maybe higher than son

        1. Coys96
          6 years, 1 month ago

          I think he will assist the assister a lot.

    4. @persecuted_by_mods
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Salah
      Kdb
      Jimi/hamez/son
      Werner/bruno

  8. Burger
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    6 years, 1 month ago

    TAA & Foden -> Saïss & Son

    A. What are you waiting for, just do it.

    Or

    B. Kneejerk central, just no.

    ?

    1. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 1 month ago

      B

    2. Gooner Kebab
      6 years, 1 month ago

      A as Foden wont see the minutes

  9. corderz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Wildcard time or salvageable?

    McCarthy Steer
    TAA Robbo Justin Vinagre Mitchell
    Aubamayang Havertz Rodriguez ASM Bissouma
    Werner Martial DCL

    1. Rassi
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Wouldn't even consider WC

      1. corderz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        6 years, 1 month ago

        What changes would you go for?

    2. Rassi
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Auba -> Sterling/KdB
      Vinagre -> Lamptey

  10. have you seen cyan
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Barnes is good

  11. Coys96
    6 years, 1 month ago

    WC activated 🙂

    Guaita
    Trent - VVD - Saiss
    Sterling - Son - Grealish* - Pereira
    Werner (c) - Jimenez - DCL

    Forster - Dunne - Alzate - Ferguson

    *one week punt vs Fulham before moving to Barnes/Zaha

    Thoughts?

    1. Gooner Kebab
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Did you see enough from Werner to keep him?

      1. Coys96
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Yes I was impressed tbh... needed more support around him

        Essential vs WBA imo

    2. George Agdgdgwngo
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I’d rather Hamez over grealish

      1. Coys96
        6 years, 1 month ago

        1 week punt

    3. KGFC
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Don't fancy Salah?

      1. Coys96
        6 years, 1 month ago

        prefer Sterling/KDB

  12. Gentle_Turks
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Would you Wildcard this?

    McCarthy
    Davies*, Saiss, TAA, Justin
    Havertz*, Salah, ASM*, Auba*
    Werner, Martial
    (Steer, Bissouma*, Ferguson*, Brewster)

    1. Tonyawesome69
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Depends on how many ft you have

      1. Gentle_Turks
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Just the one.

    2. Coys96
      6 years, 1 month ago

      No

    3. Gooner Kebab
      6 years, 1 month ago

      No

      1. Gentle_Turks
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Couple of hits?

  13. bOttOmEdpOstrEpliEr.
    6 years, 1 month ago

    We are in a virtual fantasy, the Ragabolly one was the real one.

  14. BIind Moth
    6 years, 1 month ago

    I thought they over priced Castagne but maybe not.

  15. Tonyawesome69
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Which to prioritise for a hit?

    A. Havertz to JRod
    B. ASM to Costa or Podence

    0.4itb 0ft
    McCarthy*
    TAA Robbo Justin Ayling
    KDB Salah ASM* Havertz*
    Werner DCL
    (Peacock Taylor Bissouma Vassilev)

  16. Says
    6 years, 1 month ago

    I don't have Pieters, but I still think the negative points for OGs rule is a bad one. They're usually just bad luck, sometimes the result of good effort to block crosses and you're generally already punished by the goal itself anyway.

    1. CaTriEm
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Negative points for giving away a penalty would make more sense than negative points for own goals.

      1. Collie01
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        6 years, 1 month ago

        This is an interesting idea actually.

    2. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I can see your point, but you could argue lots of goals and particularly assists are due to luck too.

    3. BobbyDoesNotLook
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Thinking the same. Especiallly when og is not given if shot would have been on target - even though keeper would have easily saved it without a deflection.

  17. Rinseboy
    6 years, 1 month ago

    First wildcard draft?
    Not sure if Kane is worth it over Son but he does have Pens?

    Thoughts on this wildcard team?
    Quite like it but feedback would be great.

    Martinez 4.0
    Robbo Saiss Justin Taylor Mitchell
    KDB Salah Zaha Soucek 4.5
    Kane Jimi DCL

    1. Gooner Kebab
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Soucek shouldn't be on a WC team

      1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Why not?

    2. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Son better VFM long term I think

      1. Lets jump straight into it.
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Son good vfm atm

  18. AlternativeB
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Current team:

    Mcarthy (nyland)
    KWP Taa Justin (Bernardo) (Mitchell)
    Salah bruno ASM Auba (Stephens)
    Mitro DCL Werner

    Do I Wildcard?

    Or: Auba + ASM --> KDB + costa for -4

    Bernardo and Stephens has not even played... Did Son to Bruno this round :/

    1. DMP
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Considering Auba+ASM to Rodriguez and Zaha instead. But no City scares me.

  19. NobodyF*cksWithTheJesus
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Is it time for the WC on this?

    McCarthy Steer
    TAA Egan Justin Vinagre Mitchell
    Auba Salah Bruno ASM Bissouma
    Werner DCL Davies

  20. Collie01
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Castagne possibly injured, holding his shoulder

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 1 month ago

      He looks fine.

      1. Collie01
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Yes back in and just created another chance.

    2. Danno - Emre Canada
      6 years, 1 month ago

      He’s off galloping again.

  21. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Currently on WC - can’t decide if I wanna go all in for Son, or keep Trent and some more ITB?

    Martinez Steer
    Saiss Taylor KWP Lamptey* Mitchell
    Salah KDB Son JRodridguez Anguissa
    Werner Jimenez Mitrovic

    If dropping Son I’m thinking a punt on Klich/Podence, Trent in for KWP & 1.0 ITB to potentially help get a United player

    1. Gooner Kebab
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Love this team, but i'd keep TAA if poss

      1. FPL Scoop
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers fella - was the result of a drunk WC last night lol so coulda been worse.

        Think Son has to be the fall guy if I wanna keep Trent... would you take Trent 5.5mid +1.0m over Son KWP?

    2. George Agdgdgwngo
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Lovely team. Front line looks immense. What if you downgraded metro to afford taa?

    3. Lets jump straight into it.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Keep LIV defence, did you see Tiagos performance today? Keep Son too vfm

    4. BOATIES FC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I've a very similar dillema on my WC. I can squeeze Son in with Robbo instead of TAA

  22. Lukakwho
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Auba and Moura > James and KDB tonight good moves still?

  23. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Wildcard time? Yay or Nay?

    McCarthy
    Digne / Davies / KWP / Justin
    Salah / Auba / Fernandes / ASM
    Werner / Ings

    Steer // Bissouma / Mitchell / Brewster

    1. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I think you can fix with a hit or two.

      Replace either KWP/McCarthy, ASM and Auba for now?

    2. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Yes

  24. yakirh
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Who to play in GW3?
    A. AWB
    B. Walker Pieters
    C. Barnes

    1. yakirh
      6 years, 1 month ago

      To bench*

    2. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 1 month ago

      AWB bench imo

    3. Rassi
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Not C

    4. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Barnes

      AWB either won't be fit, or Lamptey will tear Shaw a new one (if he is fit).

      Southampton team is weak. Burnley will bully them, although KWP may get some space to attack.

  25. LewanGOALski
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Castagne a new TAA and Doherty

  26. Will J 256
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Would you WC this team?
    Ryan | Walton |
    Trent | Taylor | KWP | Davies Mitchell
    Salah | Auba | James Rodriguez | Greenwood | ASM
    Werner | Mitrovic | Davis

  27. aapoman
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Havertz and Auba to Son and KDB/Sterling for free? Need to do it tonight if I want to make sure I have the money. Which is better KDB or Sterling? If the one I choose gets injured I'm not against wild carding

  28. Slitherene
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Willian -> Sterling/KdB, worth a hit??
