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.

    Podence is a headache for sure. Feel like I want to see more of him, but wildcarding this week. Feels like he could be a gem and worth taking the chance.

    1. Pep Roulette
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Get him

    2. Rolls-Royce
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Could cover Jimmy

    3. Gooner Kebab
      6 years, 1 month ago

      A couple of good options in Leeds too at 5.5

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

      You can watch him tomorrow.

    5. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Neto is a better player. Is he injured? Thought he was good when he got his chance last season

      People seem to have forgotten him

  2. Amey
    6 years, 1 month ago

    KDB won't rise in price tonight right ??

    Asking for a friend ... 😀

    1. Debauchy
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Nope , the rush is for Son today

      1. Amey
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks mate !

  3. Chucky
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Why is Jorginho rising? casuals at it again....

    1. BIind Moth
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Is he even nailed?

      1. sully29
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Would have thought he's be under threat from Kovacic.

        Though if he was nailed he's probably be decent value given the way penalties are this season.

        1. Nightcrawler
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Hes probably off them now

  4. sully29
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Auba + Adams > Zaha + Jimenez (-4) a reasonable move?

    Leaves me with enough to bring in a City mid against Leeds too.

  5. Pep Roulette
    6 years, 1 month ago

    A. Jesus & Son
    B. Jimenez & Sterling/KDB

    1. Hansel

    2. Mikeharbrw
      6 years, 1 month ago

      1. diabydoesgallas
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Alas I don’t!

  8. Nightcrawler
    6 years, 1 month ago

    At least no casual vardy party this week

    Yet

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

    A) Auba, ASM -> Sterling, Zaha (-4)
    B) Auba, ASM, Adams -> Son, Zaha, Jimmy (-8)
    C) Auba, Mitchell -> Sterling, Saiss (-4), going 4-3-3 with Saiss over ASM

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

    34 - 4 = 30.

    All out.

    Ugh

    1. diabydoesgallas
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Onto the next one, 36 more to go 🙂

    2. OverTinker
      6 years, 1 month ago

      i am sure justin might be in your team. he can still pick up a YC.

  11. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Does this look ok?

    Martinez
    VVD Lamptey Taylor Mitchell
    Salah KDB Sterling Rodriguez
    Kane Mitro

    Steer Anguissa Brewster Ferguson

    Thanks!

    1. Slitherene

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

      Looks expensive, so you've done well.

  12. SINGH
    6 years, 1 month ago

    RMWCT

    Steer Guaita
    Robbo Lamptey Mitchell Taylor Saiss

    Kdb Salah Barnes Greenwood Anguisa

    Wood Jimenez DCL

    Thanks

    1. Slitherene
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Zaha + Jorginho could work out better. For Greenwood & Ang

      1. SINGH
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Zaha is hot and cold and Jorginho is not attacking

  13. Slitherene
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Willian -> Sterling/KdB, worth a hit?

    1. Shineonme
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I would think so long term

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

    How many players being changed would you say warrants a wildcard?

    1. LewanGOALski
      6 years, 1 month ago

      -8 is maximum hit I’d do

    2. Debauchy
      6 years, 1 month ago

      5 or 6 at least imo

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

        Feel like I’m on the cusp, but saved a FT last week so would be burning that....whatcha think?

        McCarthy, Steer
        VVD, TAA, Bellerin, Holding, Mitchell
        Salah, Son, Auba, ASM, Bissouma
        Vardy, Antonio, Davis

        Bank 0.0m, 2FT

        1. FPL Blow-In
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          6 years, 1 month ago

          I saved ft last week also which is kind of turning me off hitting the WC but not sure that that is wise or good logic.

          In your scenario, no I don’t think you need to WC

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

            Cheers. Yeah I’m thinking 2-3 transfers may be enough next week. Perhaps something like TAA/Auba/Antonio -> James/KDB/Werner

    3. Shineonme
      6 years, 1 month ago

      6 to 7 I'd say

  15. LewanGOALski
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Next week, who’s gonna do Son?

    Werner and Martial are my bets 😉

    1. Champions League Varane
      6 years, 1 month ago

    2. Champions League Varane
      6 years, 1 month ago

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

      Werner, Martial, Bruno, Auba

  16. dshv
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Mcarthy
    Davies taa mitchell justin taylor
    Salah bruno kdb asm soucek
    Wilson davis werner

    Have to start wildcard ???

    Asm to somebody for a hit ?

  17. Twisted Saltergater
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Missed the first half. How was Havertz?

    1. Hospital Pass
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Very limited involvement, but Liverpool had 70% possession at one point. Chelsea sat back, and were undone by a Henderson ball during one of the few times they pressed. Werner the liveliest of the Chelsea attack.

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

        Shame. I've followed his career a little bit and really like him. Hope he finds his feet soon.

        1. Hospital Pass
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Could well be a team issue. I still fancy him to come good, but on the evidence of today and last week, only once everyone's fit and the back line is more solid.

    2. Shineonme
      6 years, 1 month ago

      not good

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

      Better than the first game. Some nice touches, provided an offside assist for Werner. But still not up to the speed of the game (although a game against Liverpool doesn't really say much because they play at a completely different level and speed compared to the rest of the PL). I'm not too interested in keeping and ultimately want rid because Chelsea on the whole don't look settled.

      I ended up caving btw. WC active. My team is a bit too weak. The double Southampton defense is just too poor, and I would like to be aggressive here with price changes. I missed DCL rise but that's a small price to pay. None of the other risers from yesterday I would want anyway.

      1. George Agdgdgwngo
        6 years, 1 month ago

        So what was your team and what are you looking at?

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

          Linked. I'm still working on drafts. Likely I won't do a full RMWCT. Just weighing options. Structure is gonna be important.

          It's super tempting to have very cheap defenders because of how many goals there have been so far.

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

        Cheers Camzy. I can see so many people wildcarding tonight that there might not even be any price changes!

        I've effectively pulled the trigger too. I was planning to yesterday, but when your 4.5m midfielder gets sent off, Wilson and ASM blank at home, and Davies looks like being second choice next week, then you know it's time.

        Quite exciting to look at the fixtures for the next 8 weeks or so and plan the attack.

  18. The 12th Man
    6 years, 1 month ago

    How far away is Pulisic from fitness?
    Can afford Aubamayang,Podence >> Son,Pulisic.

    Giving me a minefield of
    Salah,Fernandes,Rodriguez,Son,Pulisic

    1. The 12th Man
      6 years, 1 month ago

      *midfield. Lol

  19. UnitednationsXI

    6 years, 1 month ago

    To WC or not to WC

    McCarthy
    Taa Ayling Lamptey — Justin Vinagre
    Salah Auba Rodríguez ASM
    Werner Martial Mitro

    A: WC and remove Auba, Asm, Vinagre, Martial, Ayling, McCarthy
    B: Auba + Asm >> Kdb + Podence (-4)
    C: Auba + Vinagre >> Kdb + Taylor (-4)

    1. 1zverGGadeM
      6 years, 1 month ago

      B

  20. Vpan
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Is Marcal for Wolves nailed?

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

      Bit too early to say but it looks like he is the preferred LWB

  21. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
    6 years, 1 month ago

    ASM safe from a drop tonight? Wanna watch Podence/Neto tomorrow before deciding on which one to get

  22. Mr. Mystic
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Any news on ASM injury?

  23. Jet5605
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Would you WC this lot or should I just do Auba > Son?

    McCarthy
    Digne - Saiss - Taylor
    Bruno - Auba - Soucek - Havertz
    Werner - DCL - Martial

    Steer - Egan - Mitchell - ASM

    1. Debauchy
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Auba and Havertz out for Son and KDB/Sterling ?

    2. Shineonme
      6 years, 1 month ago

      just Aub > Son

  24. Champions League Varane
    6 years, 1 month ago

    What should I do ?.

    McCarthy Steer
    Trent Ayling Justin Taylor KWP
    Bruno Auba Salah ASM Soucek
    DCL Werner Wickham.

    1. Shineonme
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Aub > KDB looks the way to go

  25. dshv
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Asm to podence (-4)
    Wilson to dcl (-4)

    Both (-8)

    Did auba to kdb..

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

    Thoughts on:

    A) Soucek and Auba to Hamez and Mahrez 2 FTs?

    B) Or just Auba to KDB/Hamez with 1 FT?

  27. Rinseboy
    6 years, 1 month ago

    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. R Whites
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Maybe son over kane as spurs cover? Wood up top, and upgrade soucek.

  28. Pep Roulette
    6 years, 1 month ago

    KDB or Sterling? And why? Let's go!

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

      KDB for pens

    2. Lebowski85
      6 years, 1 month ago

      As I've had an average start, I'm going for Sterling. KdB long term will do best but I'm hoping Agueros injury will spur Sterling into one of his explosive bursts of form

    3. Pep Roulette
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Cheers fam

  29. R Whites
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Barnes looking lively here.

    Barnes or J Rod? Have DCL as Everton cover...

    1. FPL Blow-In

          both valid! Unlucky to blank gw1. Fixtures look goof after City too.

          1. MrZ
            6 years, 1 month ago

            Even city fixture can be good for him

  30. The White Pele
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Wilson to richarlison worth a hit?
