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.

  4. Rolls-Royce

    3. jimmyabs1987
      6 years, 1 month ago

      If you check his stats out last week and this week it’s hardly a casuals pick

      1. Debauchy
        6 years, 1 month ago

        He's a bargain

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

      Saving my GW. Was always going to hold for city cause the fixtures after than are nice.

  5. Totalfootball
    6 years, 1 month ago

    I have never seen a weekend like this in fantasy . And i m here on 47 points .
    And there are still 2 games to go

    1. Danstoke82
      6 years, 1 month ago

      47 way better than me. I’m struggling to break 40!

  6. S.Kuqi
    6 years, 1 month ago

    So many midfield and stiker options. Starting to think if Taa is worth the price tag.

    Vvd + 1.0M could be better

    1. Whats the Huth
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I agree

    2. George Agdgdgwngo
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Who scores more.

      Hamez or taa?

      1. BENOIT
        6 years, 1 month ago

        TAA

    3. Homer21
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Big decision only 2 games in

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

    A) DCL Barnes/Zaha
    B) Mitro Hamez + 1.0 ITB (current)

    Trying not to let decency bias affect it in terms of DCL mostly (Hamez is a better player than him) what would you take and why? Currently on B as money ITB could be useful eg for Jimenez to Martial in the future

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

    This could be catastrophic if WC-ing getting rid of Werner, Bruno and the likes and they go ballistic next week! Should not touch my team now!

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

      If I had them I wouldn’t ditch even if wildcarding. I’m just ditching the likes of Doherty Auba ASM even Ings (prefer Jimenez) Ryan (prefer Lamptey and a diff GK)...

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

        Yeah need to be 'wise' (if possible). This week many got rid of Son, Ings due to bad performance a week before, this could happen to Werner and Bruno ...

    2. Homer21
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Yep, patience is key

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

    Bottomed

    On WC:

    A. Guaita, Klitch + 1.0m
    B. Martinez & Barnes

  10. Garfield1001
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Would you wildcard this team:

    McCarthy 4m
    TAA Justin Doherty KWP Mitchell
    Auba JRod Son ASM Bissouma
    Vardy Adams Werner

    Opinions appreciated

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

      No

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

      But I have WCd myself. I guess looking closer it could work out. Would you get rid of Werner?

  11. TRIPOS TOPPER
    6 years, 1 month ago

    scores on the doors?

    68+Egan, also that will be 67 then

    1. Bobby Digital
      6 years, 1 month ago

      71 + Egan

    2. Zilla
      6 years, 1 month ago

      You might hit century tom then

    3. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 1 month ago

      66 with Egan left, 66 gw1 aswel so Egan 0 pointer again incoming

    4. Bury94
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 1 month ago

      43 as it stands including Barnes's 3 BPS. Not good. Wildcard active

    5. Andre W
      6 years, 1 month ago

      80 + Stevens

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

      Struggling to make 40

      1. Nomar
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Aye, me too.

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

        I won't make 40

    7. ivantys
      6 years, 1 month ago

      On 96+Ramsdale

    8. HollywoodXI
      6 years, 1 month ago

      45 with Justin still playing (plus any BPS) and Martinez and Podence still to play. Meh.

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

      Bloody 55 all out. Crap

    10. BenDavies
      6 years, 1 month ago

      82 all out

    11. Jamizz
      6 years, 1 month ago

      81 all out

    12. Danstoke82
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Struggling to get past 40. As Horrific gameweeks go, this has been easily one of the very worst. I thought for a second that Taylor had scored that OG before such has been my luck this weekend.

    13. 1zverGGadeM
      6 years, 1 month ago

      101 all out post baps 🙂

      One of the best GW in my whole life ^ ^

      1. Whats the Huth
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Well done!

        1. 1zverGGadeM
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Cheers!

    14. Whats the Huth
      6 years, 1 month ago

      69 all out. Justin potentially getting a bap

  12. Totalfootball
    6 years, 1 month ago

    This week is UNREAL .

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

      Have we broken the total goal in a gameweek already?

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

        43 is the record I think

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

    Might just do Auba to Son and keep WC. Maybe get Jimenez for a hit. Forget about KDB for now

    1. Jamizz
      6 years, 1 month ago

      You might want to get a City attacker in as this Leicester defence is really shaky

  14. Clickzy
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Is there a way to see how many wildcards have been used so far?

    1. Ze_Austin
      6 years, 1 month ago

      @FPLStatus, I guess

  15. Ze_Austin
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Just occurred to me that this game already has 6 goals

    1. Liberate HK - antichinazi
      6 years, 1 month ago

      usually a 1-0 / 0-0 game in normal course of events.

  16. Bobby Digital
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Auba to:
    A) KDB
    B) Sterling
    C) keep Auba

    1. Gudjohnsen
      6 years, 1 month ago

      B

    2. _Ninja_
      6 years, 1 month ago

      1. Bobby Digital
        6 years, 1 month ago

  17. Gashead9

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

      Yupppp. None for me from Spurs, LIV/CHE, FUL/LEE, this game, or most others lol.

    5. TheBrazilianRonaldo
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Just 5 more needed in last 2 games to be prem league weekend record!

    6. Pukki Party

      1. Zilla
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Yep the players I own who have returned are TAA and Auba. Rest are 0s and 1s.

        1. Pukki Party
          6 years, 1 month ago

    7. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      1. Zilla
        6 years, 1 month ago

    8. Jamizz

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

    Really like the look of Castagne, but wonder if he's as comfortable at left back when Ricardo returns....

    Right now he looks excellent and seems to be justifying the 5.5 FPL pricetag

    1. Groot the Leveller
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I got him in last week based on the Motd analysis......

  21. Old Man
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Justin foul .... oh dear

  22. Rainer
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Justin pissing BPS up the wall.

  23. KUN+10
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Auba out for??

    A - Sterling (C) have KDB
    B - Salah (C) no Pool players

    Thanks!!

    1. Orion
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I am heading towards A by myself if that helps

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

      B for me

  24. jimmyabs1987
    6 years, 1 month ago

    I already transferred Barnes out now but at least a nice parting gift

    1. Bury94
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Villa and West Ham at home after City next weekend. Could be great for him. He's a definite hold for me

  25. Sloane426
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Do you think Costa/Klich outscores Saiss over the next 4/5 game weeks?
    Tempted to bench ASM and change to a 4-3-3.

  26. Totalfootball
    6 years, 1 month ago

    How come soooo many goals scored this week ?
    Whats going on ?
    Anyone any idea ?

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

      Defenders and keepers drunk it seems

    2. A-L
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Attacks have had some practice & time to click now while defences don't know what to expect yet tactically I think

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

    Nick Pope 4.5 by Xmas

  28. lilmessipran
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Wood hits the woodwork

  29. Chucky
    6 years, 1 month ago

  30. Brosstan
