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.

    I need another 4m defender. How’s Dunne looked tonight? How longs he got?

    Wilson and Digne to Werner (c) and Dunne

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

      Same here but worried what is left like KDB etc could still end up a pretty bad GW

      1. Rolls-Royce
        6 years, 1 month ago

        True

    3. Homer21
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Well done

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

      Ditto.
      Barnes and Justin saving this calamitous GW for me

  3. TheSteel
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Imagine not having a 4.5 defender that returns attacking points every week.

    1. Rassi
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah, that Lamptey boy is pretty good.

      1. TheSteel
        6 years, 1 month ago

        *drums*

    2. Bobby Digital
      6 years, 1 month ago

      He has mci next though, will get him for Dier or Egan next GW.

      1. TheSteel
        6 years, 1 month ago

        I wouldnt. Hes on borrowed time til Pereira is fit

  4. BIind Moth
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Good news: 85(-4) this week
    Bad news: 98 if I left my team alone
    Subtle brag: Is it though?

    1. elchilangles
      6 years, 1 month ago

      ouch

    2. Gudjohnsen
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Son captain?

      1. BIind Moth
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Transferred out Son for a hit. (Serious)

        That god damn 0.1 fall was going to ruin my WC.

        1. ivantys
          6 years, 1 month ago

          How did you not have Son with that name!

        2. Gudjohnsen
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Bad luck. I reluctantly kept him but captained Auba.

    3. Debauchy
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Same here , happy enough after no Salah gw1

  5. Bobby Digital
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Might end up using a transfer on ASM ➡ Soucek. Sexy innit?

    1. Concrete
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Both dropping

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

    What do you think Saiss and Jimi will get tomorrow?

    1. super zlatan
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Wouldn’t surprise me if jimmy scores a hattie

    2. TheSteel
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Saiss 1 jimmy 2

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

  7. Dynamic Duos
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone keeping Aubameyang?

    1. Right In The Stanchion
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Yes for his GW4 hat trick

    2. TheSteel
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Depends how KDB looks

    3. Homer21
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Thinking about it

    4. Debauchy
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Doubt it

  8. ivantys
    6 years, 1 month ago

    All these double digits are making auba cap such a joke. I have 5 players scoring more than him damn it.

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

      I know so annoying

      1. ivantys
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Don't think i would have picked anyone else though, since i have no everton players. Could be worse if i picked vardy or awesome if i picked kane.

    McCarthy Nyland
    TAA Rob Doherty Vinagre Mitchell
    Auba KDB Rodriguez Soucek Gordon
    Werner Mitro Adams

    With 0.5m ITB and Vinagre, Doherty, Soucek and Adams all worrying me, who would you sell this week?

    1. Concrete
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Vinagre

  10. The Legend Squad
    6 years, 1 month ago

    1. super zlatan
      6 years, 1 month ago

  11. Bury94

    6 years, 1 month ago

    Such a huge variety of scores this week, some with 30 points, some with nearly 100. Crazy

    1. Rolls-Royce
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Indeed.

  12. 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

    WC moves 🙂

    1. puhd
      6 years, 1 month ago

      B

    2. Bobby Digital
      6 years, 1 month ago

      decency bias? That's a new one 😛

    3. Bobby Digital

    McCarthy
    Trent Egan Coady
    Salah Auba Barnes Soucek

  14. TomSaints
    6 years, 1 month ago

    As I keep saying no one can better my mane and son to KDB and rashford.

    It’s levels of self destruction rarely seen on these hallowed pages.

    1. Flair
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Wow

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

      Oh god.

      You need a monster haul from Kev to even make that swallowable

      1. TomSaints
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Mane to KDB was always happening (though picking mane over Salah was a huge **** up too).

        Spurs are awful, I just didn’t appreciate how poor saints are.

    3. TheSteel
      6 years, 1 month ago

      KDB could get 6 goals to match. It aint over

  15. jonnybhoy
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Rod or DCL?

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

    I sold Barnes for next GW - for a hit.
    Need to strap those knees firmly to chair

  17. Royal5
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Not watching. Has Vardy played the whole game?

    1. g40steve
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Yes

      1. Royal5
        6 years, 1 month ago

        4 goals and 0 points? Wow

  18. FPL Daniel
    6 years, 1 month ago

    I almost did Havertz to Barnes. Now I have to give Havertz one more game since Barnes has City next . Oh well

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

    Which is the better use of my cash?

    A) ASM -> Zaha
    B) Adams -> DCL (play Mitchell over ASM)
    C) Mitchell -> Saiss (play Saiss over ASM)

    1. FPL Daniel
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I needed many years to consider the value of the free transfer when making transfers

    2. Bartowski
      6 years, 1 month ago

      B

  20. FPL Daniel

      6 years, 1 month ago

      18 with KDB, Foden, Watkins and Jimmy to go

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

        Sold Son, Ings, Mane, Pereira on WC; put Justin on bench; have Lamptey but subbed off at 58 mins

        1. Chucky
          6 years, 1 month ago

          ouch... next week we feast and the casuals starve.....

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

    May as well get Justin on WC I guess. Short term but is doing well, can ditch when Pereira back

  26. Bartowski
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Why is that every single member of the Burnley Squad and coaching team could have easily passed for a member of the Night's Watch in Game of Thrones?!

    1. TheSteel
      6 years, 1 month ago

      And they got rid of Hedricks too

  27. FC Hakkebøf

    Salah Auba Son ASM
    Werner DCL Mitro

  28. @persecuted_by_mods
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Two stellar weeks and WC incoming to maintain the momentum, have to accept sometimes luck and jam is in your favour 😉

    1. FC Hakkebøf
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Why WC if your team is doing great?

      1. Whats the Huth
        6 years, 1 month ago

        This.

      2. @persecuted_by_mods
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Maintain momentum, fixture change etc

  29. aapoman
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Havertz and Auba to Son and Sterling/KDB? Would propably have to do it tonight because of price rises. Also which one is better Sterling or KDB

    1. Danstoke82
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Auba to Sterling/KDB for me but it’s flip a coin on which one if you need to do it tonight imo.

  30. Danstoke82
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Is TAA > VVD a crazy move on a WC? It frees up funds to upgrade Podence > Foden or Justin > Castagne. I’m torn.

    1. BenDavies
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I wouldnt do that. TAA looked very good tonight. Foden isnt that big of an upgrade on Podence, if at all, and Castagne instead of Justin is a luxury transfer. Keep.
