Who are the best Leicester players in FPL?

By losing at home to Blackburn Rovers in Tuesday night’s FA Cup fifth-round clash, Leicester City avoid the Blank Gameweek 28 that six teams will have.

Suddenly their upcoming fixture run looks superb, as the defeat also ensures they play in Gameweek 32 during semi-final weekend.

The Foxes sit 14th in the league table with mixed form and a surprising closeness to the relegation zone. Should they use this schedule to concentrate and pull themselves away from danger, it could be a great time for Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers to invest in their assets.

With Wildcard season well and truly, so let’s assess the best Leicester options.

JAMES MADDISON (£8.1m)

    Have exact cash for this WC team. Set it and forget it?

    Raya
    James - Gabriel - Estupinan
    Saka - Maddison - Rashford - Mitoma
    Haaland - Kane - Toney

    (Kepa) (Mac Allister - Trippier - Mee)

        Martinelli over Mac Allister and Pinnnock over Mee fixes that problem, but not sure if it's worth losing Mac Allister's tasty 27 doube over it?

      I would wait until the last 5 min of dealine to get some info if Mahrez starts or not. If Mahrez starts I would play him and bench Nketiah. This way you get a extra week of info who bring in for Nketiah. Yes Toney is a great option, but he avareg a yellow carda every 2.5 games. If Toney does get a yellow card against Fullham he is just 1 card away from 2 games ban. Then I would consider not to bring in Toney.

      Or you can just gamble and go A)

      I'm considering dropping Haaland for DGW28 and 29 and bringing back DG30. Issue is how go get back though as Toney > Haaland would need an instant downgrade of Bruno or Kane likely for a hit. Think it will be worth it though.

      I thought about starting with Haaland - Kane - Toney and then selling Erling for Ollie in GW28. I wouldn't own him for the Liverpool match, but maybe I could get away with it. It's not like he won't blank for the rest of the season and big hauls are guaranteed each weekend.

        This is the route I'm most likely taking and bringing Haaland back for Kane in gw30.

        Think it's worth losing Haaland for effectively 1 match to get 2 extra fixtures out of Watkins

      It’s a nice team, I just have concerns over James and whether he plays 28 let alone both fixtures in 29.

      Feel like benching Martinelli next week might not be the most ideal even though it’s a DGW. Would rather bench Maddison over him

      But yeah it’s a solid team and very similar to mine.

          I know that, but those are great fixtures and there isn't one big picture of chip strategy ... there are many pictures to be considered and sometimes the herd mentality is hard to ignore and very persuasive.

          I see a lot of rearranging of the same deck chairs in WC drafts that a few hits over the next 3 weeks would substantively achieve.

          When people are agonising over the likes of Mitoma, Mac Allister, March, Pinnock, Mee, Henry etc ... you know double gameweek fever has set in 😉

              Not saving it, just don't feel the need to use it if I am still gong to have the same 8 or so main players anyway.

              I do like to WC the week before a bench boost so that my players don't get injured, lose form, get dropped etc. ... rather than trying to cover two doubles and a blank with one chip over a month and maybe 6 games plus the IB internationals for so many players between now and the BB in the GW 29 double.

              I think if someone has triple Liverpool & triple Utd I can see the case for it ... but otherwise ?

                So when are u wildcarding? U can't Wildcard in 29 and Bench Boost. If u Wildcard in 28 you have to navigate a blank and double and still deal with the international break. If u Wildcard 27 its the same thing except one week later than wc26 and u have a worse team for 26.

    2FTs with Toneys yellow card / possible betting ban in mind:

    a) Robbo to Brentford def (Keep 2x FTs to gain more info on Toney situation for gw27)

    b) Darwin to Toney (Keep 2x FTs for other uncertainties that might occur before gw27)

    c) Do both with the risk of Toney being banned before 27 and would need a -4 to solve it

    Rest of my "perfect" plan for 26-30 already figured out, so kind of comes down to Toneys future. Could go Mbeumo ofc, but want to live a little!

      I would strictly choose players that start 28, but has a DGW in 29 and if possible an OK fixture in 30. Not sure if a "one week punt" in 28 will fit into that, imo.

    Still having some dilemmas on a WC, any thoughts welcomed! Also, happy to see with what you are struggling!

    March vs Mitoma:
    I thought that recently March was a better pick. I'm just not sure how he will look after injury? Still I reckon he should go back to starting XI and have more space than Mitoma?

    Maddison vs second Brighton mid:
    Been pretty set on Maddison but maybe shouldn't fix on him? Are fixtures that good? Also, Brighton mid will have one more fixture in GW27, on the other hand, means one player less in GW28.

    Sanchez vs Raya vs Kepa or maybe even Pope:
    Main question I have is who should be my GK in GW27, can't really tell who is more likely to keep CS, have some save points with BP. I'm BB in GW29. Kinda like Kepa as a second GK and his 3 home fixtures GW28-29. Probably you could also make a case for Pope but it gets pricey here.

    Mee vs Henry vs Pinnock:
    Kinda toss a coin? Saw on TT that Pinnock and Mee have similar stats, Henry having the worst.

    To James or not to James?
    Got burn many times by him but still tempted...Worth a gamble?

      A lot of people having the same issues as you, myself included.

      For what it's worth im going:

      Mitoma and McAlister (no Maddison, although was also tempted by him)

      Raya in goal as I don't want to waste a Brighton spot on a keeper.

      Mee is the best option but I'm going pinnock to allow me to upgrade Martinelli to Bruno in 29.

      I'm taking a risk and bringing James in.

      Maybe I'm playing it to safe, but to navigate 26-30 well you are dependent on the highest naildness/starting % as possible due to gw28 and the doubles in 27/29. That's why I would go:

      Mitoma over March
      Wait with Maddison for 28 to gain more info on injury/minutes
      Raya/Sanchez is a coin toss imo. One is needed. The other one should have a game in 28 and a double in 29.
      Bre-def is coin toss. Choose cheapest if mitb is important. Mee slight more attractive for set piece rare goals.
      Never James or Chelsea def for me. What in the world have they proven last 8-10 games...

          Depends on the rest of your defender picks, do you need a set and forget or can you be a bit more risky with a potential high attacking upside? With Silva injured, will Potter change to 3ATB or stick with 4ATB? Kante back soon, will that improve CS prospects?

    Trying WC drafts. Thoughts on this?

    Kepa Raya
    Trippier Gabriel Henry Estupinan Mings
    Saka Odegaard Rashford Mitoma Maddison
    Haaland Kane Toney

    Notes;
    - Obviously there is uncertainty with Toney, if I'm not confident he will be playing I will more than likely go for Watkins over him.

    - this draft would give me 10 players for BGW 28

    - this draft would give me 5 players for DGW 27

    - this draft would give me 10 dgw players (two keepers though)

    The WC is my last remaining chip. Is this good

      Great WC team, seems like your TV is sligthly higher than me, affording Ødegaard over Martinelli. Think it's tight between Gabriel and Zinchenko, what made you go for Gabriel?

      Also don't see very much difference between White and Gabriel so far this season, if we also consider the price difference, which could make me afford Ødegaard if going White.

      Gabriel: 107 points, 2 goals 0 assists
      White: 103 points, 0 goals 2 assists

        My TV was 99.9 I think, but I had 1.6 itb or something like that.

        Tbh, I'm not sure whether to go for Odegaard or Martinelli - based on price and recent form Marti may be the better option you know.

        Yeah well I've owned white all season and has been a bench player lately- I wanted to go Gabriel due to the goal threat and bonus points, and to just change it up a bit!

        Zinchenko is a good shout tbf
