Barnes on Leicester’s bench as Vardy faces Fulham as Gameweek’s most-captained

1,459 Comments

Brendan Rodgers has pulled the rug from underneath the feet of 4.1% of Fantasy Premier League managers by naming Harvey Barnes (£6.9m) among the substitutes for Gameweek 10.

Leicester host Fulham in one of their most favourable matches of the season so far, perhaps why he has dropped the winger back to the bench following three starts in the last four Gameweeks.

James Maddison (£7.0m) and Dennis Praet (£5.5m) are afforded the support roles in attacking midfield tonight, behind Jamie Vardy (£10.2m), who looks set to truly define the outcome of Gameweek 10 for many.

The Leicester striker was top of the Fantasy Football Scout captain poll last week, emerged as the top 10k’s favourite skipper and collected over a million armbands worldwide for this match.

However, if Vardy is to truly reward the groundswell of support he must do tonight something he done only once in 2020/21 so far: score a Premier League goal at home.

He has 10 attacking returns this season but nine of those have come on the road, the other recorded against Wolves in Gameweek 8.

Fulham are the perfect opponent to face in the face of that quest though. They have given up an average of 1.8 goals per away game this season.

Interest in their assets continues to wane, especially considering that both Tom Cairney (£5.3m) and Aleksandar Mitrović (£5.6m) have been named on the bench, Ruben Loftus-Cheek (£5.9m) and Ivan Cavaleiro (£5.3m) handed the number 10 and centre-forward roles respectively.

Leicester City XI (3-4-2-1): Schmeichel; Fuchs, Evans, Fofana; L Thomas, Tielemans, N Mendy, Justin; Maddison, Praet; Vardy.

Fulham XI (4-2-3-1): Areola; A Robinson, Adarabioyo, Andersen, Aina; Zambo Anguissa, Reed; Lookman, Loftus-Cheek, De Cordova-Reid; Cavaleiro.

            I posted regarding Newkie, and time will tell how it affects their Friday match. I know what the rules say, but if the team is heavily exposed then they can just send everyone into isolation and there's your postponement...

                As long as 11 players can take the pitch, it's game on. That's 11 from the 25 plus any youth/academy players who are not counted in the 25 man squad. For a start, I think that's a batshit rule, that is in and of itself open to massive abuse. Remember when (was it the Blades?) Warnock pulled off half his team "injured" to get the game called off? Big Mick and Wolves fined for playing kids in a match where he needed to rest for a cup game... such a mess.

        I captained a player who has scored 0 goals this season - never mind home/away.

        Got 10 points out of it.

        It’s not about points that have been scored, it’s about future points. Vardy was a good shout, but Lady Luck can be a tough mistress
