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

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.

        We can't defend when players run at us, it's easy to defend when Maddison and Praet just take their time and try to pick the killer pass, slowing the play up.

                Why. He's basically got the perfect midfield. Salah and KdB combined cost 23.8m. Bruno is a captain choice at almost a million less than KdB. KdB is over as a season keeper at 11.5m

          Soyuncu really is missing to that defence. And Leicester don't know how to play 3-4-3, Rogers should play Justin and Fuchs in the back four, Barnes and Under in for Praet and Thomas. But he will probably get Kelechi in instead.

                      His age has nothing to do with it. He's quicker than 90% of players and as wily as a fox. People just dislike him but that doesn't mean he's a bad player.
                      Deep lying defences are always difficult to break down.

                    I didn't watch first half. How Vardy looks? Kane to Vardy? 🙂

                      anonymous so far pretty much. Fulham will sit back w the 2 goal lead so don't think things will get any easier for him.

                    Doesn't look like Vardy will score. Hope he blanks so that my VC Grealish can generate some points for me.

                      Vardy non-owner here. Is he looking likely to get on the scoresheet?

                        not really and with the 2 goal lead Fulham will probably have 11 behind the ball. I'd say right now more likely lookman to get a hattrick.

                        He had an open goal near the end, just needed Justin to square it across the face of goal for a tap in. Ridiculous.

                        Well said. Let it wash over you and come back strong next week (whilst secretly praying for a vardy brace). I stopped getting annoyed a few seasons back and I enjoy it so much more now.
                        I allow myself disappointment but not anger.
