Leicester differentials could reward investment in 2019/20

Leicester City’s squad could provide Fantasy Premier League managers with some powerful differentials in the early part of 2019/20.

Probably because of uninspiring opening fixtures, none of Brendan Rodgers’ players is owned by more than 13.7% ahead of Gameweek 1.

However, there is enough in the underlying statistics from last year to suggest the Foxes could enjoy Rodgers’ first full season at the helm.

    Hi....is Wilson and Fraser too much bou to start the season with?

    And if so, who is best Fraser replacement out of:

    A....martial
    B...moura
    C....Barkley +1.5m
    D...Trossard +1.5m

    Thanks

    1. CYN
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      moura is a great short-term option and martial tempts me as i think he has the highest ceiling out of all of them. but that said im currently on fraser too. think he's the safest choice considering bournemouth's first 2 fixtures and his form last season.

      1. Flynny
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Yeah. Kind of agree. Just that 15.5m seems a lot to invest in bou to start with...

        1. CYN
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          it is and if im feeling brave i will go martial or even pulisic. feel like it will be one of those choices i finally make half an hour before the deadline for GW1.

    tried something different. not sure if it works would appreciate feedback.

    ryan
    taylor taa vvd coleman
    fraser barkley salah
    auba wilson jimenez

    felipe on the bench > taylor gw2

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Works for me. Definitely considered all those players (except Ryan).

      1. TheSpecialOne
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        yeah still not sure on felipe and his role.. might disappear again like the backend, ud have to hold onto him for awhile to get value. and barkley is just kind of a placeholder atm.

        might replace vvd with laporte dont think both teams will be getting as many cs as last season.

      Lack of Citeh will hurt you but I sense you know that already

      1. TheSpecialOne
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        i want sterling but if i get him i wont have a strong bench for his rest games.

    3. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      No man City is a worry

  4. Mr. O'Connell
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Doing a dead team league. How strong should the bench be (I'm fairly bench less)? Gone with fairly nailed players.

    Fabianski
    Robertson, van Dijk, Laporte, AWB, Boly
    Salah (C), Bernardo, Siggy
    Kane (VC), Jiminez

    Button, Dendonker, Hayden, Greenwood

    Worth getting a 5.0/5.5 mid on the bench and another keeper?

    1. noquarternt
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Think you need to cover injuries more than an active team. Spread the cash a bit more.

  5. how now brown cow
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    What's the deal with the myriad of attacking hammers mids?

    Any felipe-lanzini-yarmolenko-fornals-antonio decent options?

    Or will noble pens still win the day?

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      It means a lot of shared points. Currently the first choice set up is:
      Haller
      Lanzini Fornals Anderson
      Wilshere Rice

      Of which the only attacking ones safe from rotation would be Haller and Anderson. Our plethora of good back ups in Antonio, Snodgrass, yarmolenko and diangana just means a bad performance and you’re out basically. I’d stick with Haller only for West Ham. Should get pens now Wilshere can take noble’s place and is key to every West Ham attack. I expect ~50% GI

      1. internal error
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Wilshire will get injured in a couple of games unfortunately

        1. Ask Yourself
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Lol. In which case I really hope he goes for:
          Haller
          Antonio Lanzini Fornals Anderson
          Rice

          Would be so lethal

      2. pingissimus
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Is the defence looking any more stable? Do you see goals still being leaked for fun?

        1. Ask Yourself
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          We thought it was solved by the return of the Balbuena and diop partnership however that is constantly being carved open. We knew fabianski was important but he like really really is important to our defence. Roberto has been poo pre season and fab is currently injured I pray he is back before GW1 or we’ll get annihilated.
          What’s going on your end what’s zaha doing I may need him for GW1 and 2

          1. pingissimus
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            Can't see Zaha going anywhere really. It's 80 mill cash down or nothing. The squad is unbelievably thin though - 4 and a half fit defenders is just the start of it.

            As ever we'll get a couple in on deadline day who'll take ages to integrate. I wouldn't go near anything Palace in the short term personally.

            Zaha could be the one exception of course. Point to prove and all of that. Don't see him downing tools. But really he's best when he has someone to play off.

            1. Ask Yourself
              • 7 Years
              4 years, 8 months ago

              Fair point. I guess with your attack being weak as it is you fancy him to start GW1 regardless? I feel for you as Roy is a top manager, if there was some stability there it would be a class team. Nice to see Sakho back playing with U23s

        No yarmo there

        He was awesome before injury

        1. Ask Yourself
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          That’s intentional. He’s still not quite with it and I wouldn’t be surprised if Antonio is ahead of him atm. Yarmo just hasn’t been looking right pre season. A handy substitute though if we need a lefty on

    Bottomed, apologies for the repost...

    First post this year - my team, my best guesses, my optimist burden for the next 10 months. Damn you FPL...

    Heaton
    Digne, TAA, VVD
    Sterling, Salah, Perez, Moutinho
    Vardy, Jimenez, King

    Bench: Button, Lundstrom, Kelly, Dendoncker

    1. QUEN
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Very nice team IMO maybe downgrade jimmy to jota and upgrade mout

      Jimmy come off injured in the friendly

  9. Hesoyam
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    A: Heaton, Diop, Abraham
    B: Fabianski, A smith, Adams (or wesly)

    1. CYN
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      B with adams

      too early to say for chels striker imo. tammy could be subbed at 60 if he even starts. wait and see.

  10. grayedog
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    First post of the year, rate my team. Stab in the dark, though I'm cautiously planning on swapping in Moise Kean should that go through.

    0.0 ITB:
    Heaton (Button)
    Robbo, VVD, Digne (Aarons, Bednarik)
    Sterling, Siggy, Martial, Zaha (Dendocker)
    Kane, Wilson (Andone)

    I hate FPL GW1 prep!

    1. CYN
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      strong. like the martial punt.

      1. grayedog
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Thank you and awesome -- very surprised. Genuinely had no idea, just poked a couple reddit threads (and my Everton fandom) and threw some darts until I hit 0.0 ITB !

        1. CYN
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          prefer kiko or charlie taylor as 4.5 def options but aarons could get some attacking returns i suppose. the first 11 looks good to me. captaining kane first week im guessing?

  11. JELLYFISH
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Anybody care to advise Which team rotates best with Watford? Looking at a defensive pairing with Cathcart (already have Heaton so keen to avoid Villa defence)

    1. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      West Ham

      1. JELLYFISH
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        So Diop then. Cheers

        1. bitm2007
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          That's what I'm on, it's not a perfect rotation home and away rotation that's with Chelsea who's players are too expensive.

          1. JELLYFISH
            • 12 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            Watford and Chelsea you mean?

            1. bitm2007
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 9 Years
              4 years, 8 months ago

              Yes

  12. Napster03
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Why is everyone going with Button on their teams? Surely Ryan is starting.

    1. CYN
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      just 4.0 bench fodder i assume

    2. Lingard’s Shin Guards
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Button’s bench fodder

  13. adstomko
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Haller (+0.5) or Wilson?

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Wilson then transfer to Haller GW3

      1. adstomko
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        My original plan

    2. CYN
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      wilson is proven

    3. 3 A
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Gat both

  14. DIMITRIS
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Please RMT:
    Heaton (Button)
    Robertson | VVD | Zinchenko| Dunk (Lundstram)
    Salah | KDB | Perez | Pulisic (Doncker)
    Wilson | Aubameyang (Greenwood)
    The plan is to play Auba and Wilson for fisrt two GW and then ship them out for Kane and Haller (or the likes of Jimmy, Chelsea's first choice striker, Haller etc...).
    What do you think?

    1. Yoshimiwinz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Jimmy got hurt today, monitor his situation. I like the Pulisic pick, and think we’ll know all we need to about Haller after the first two GWs.

      1. DIMITRIS
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Thanks. Deffintly will watch for Haller and Jimmy. Doesn't have to be one of them, if someone cheaper starts firing, I'll get him anyways and use the extra cash on the other areas.

  15. Yoshimiwinz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    With Heaton moving to Villa, is it worth rostering him & Pope for rotation?

    1. HamezMace
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Heaton Henderson is better

  16. circusmonkey
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Is Wesley of Villa any good? Got him to afford my defenders and Mids.

    1. ZTF
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Good yes, but not for FPL. Isn't an out and out goalscorer.

      1. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        You get 1 less point for an assist than a goal as a forward. He had more assists than any EPL forward last season

        1. ZTF
          • 9 Years

          In the Belgian league

        Also wasn't on penalties at Brugges and took one in friendly

    2. Sap
      • 5 Years

      Overpriced

      1. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        😆 good joke

      Same,hope he get some points maybe on pens too.

    4. Kiwivillan

      I'm having him. Looks a beast

      1. The Overthinker
        • 7 Years

        Biased

        1. Kiwivillan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Cheap and watched him in pre season. Have you? I want to keep my last 3 season 6k average going. I'm looking for bargains always

          1. Ask Yourself
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            Both his goals came vs Walsall and got one assist vs Shrewsbury. Villa have refused to test themselves in pre season and they will suffer from in early on

          2. ZTF
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            My word you're up yourself haha

        2. Ask Yourself

    5. JELLYFISH
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      From what I’ve seen of him he will pick up a fair few assists. Good shout for pens too after the one he put away at Walsall. He won’t be prolific though

      1. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        He'll be over 7.5m by season end I reckon

        1. Salah’s Sonnet

          nah

    Foster
    Digne Robbo TAA Walker AWB
    Salah (C) Raz Grealish (Leitner, Den)
    Haller Wilson (Greenwood)

    Thoughts?

    1. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      5 man defence will flop otherwise reasonable

    2. CYN
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      im not sold on 532 when there are so many promising mids with reasonable prices. i understand going low spend up top though.

      Fab + King?

        Really? West Ham had, what 2 clean sheets the last 4 months of the season? I remember being glad I didn't pick Fab late last season...

        1. Sap
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Just check the points for 5.0 Gks for last season

  24. Whazza
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Wesley has been getting some stick, but are we forgetting he is only 22 years old?

    17G and 10A last season! !s it really worth looking at his stats when he was a teenager?

    1. Hairy Potter
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      He could be worth a punt at the price. Villa have great fixtures for the first few months of the season. If it doesn't work then easy to jump on another 6.0 striker who is getting goals.

      1. Whazza
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        There's not much around at 6M I guess, but plenty of 6.5

  25. RUUD!
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    What do we know about Pepe. Is he likely to start against Newcastle?

      I know 9 of his goals last season were pens 😀

        6 won by himself.

          Thanks

        Then he’d have gotten 5 more assists if someone else took them, 13 goals 16 assists not so bad in 38 is it?

      I do hope so but it is unlikely

      Apparently his opta scores are similar to Hazard’s

        4 years, 8 months ago

        Only player to take 100 shots, 100 take one and be fouled 100 times. Over 100 shots is pretty hot

    What happened to Kane? He's in no RMTs.

      Until he scores on sunday.

      I think Vardy might match him or come close for 2M less.
      More interested in Son when he returns

        Kane is a good captain pick.. plus he plays in the evening game on Saturday. Will be boring to watch with no Villa or Spurs in your team.

      Switched out for Barkley

      Who has been shifted for Bennett

    Hi Guys, how about this lineup with plenty of heavy hitters for captain options

    Ryan
    VVD Robertson Digne Walker
    Salah Sterling McGinn Schneiderlin
    Kane Jimenez

    Cheers !!

      Looks like a 4-2-2 to me

      1. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        McGinn?

        1. MRBOROFC63
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          AV winger

          1. Kiwivillan
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            He's not a winger he's box to box but he's good. Not sure why Whazza not rating him

      2. MRBOROFC63
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Thats the worry could do Kane to Vardy and upgrade midfeild ?

    2. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      You only get 1 captain a week. If you want double Pool defence AND another 2 expensive defenders Salah Sterling Kane will make rest of team weak and you'll get absolute garbage like Schneiderlin

      1. MRBOROFC63
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Yeah i see your logic, maybe Kane to Vardy and Robertson to cheaper defender then, but i liked the look of McGinn last season when i watched Villa

    Zaha or Pulisic? As an American, am I obligated to pick Pulisic? 🙂

        Rather zinch for less

    2. Eat my goal!

      The last statement should be a definitive

      Get rid of Kelly - don’t want to be losing cash on a bench player

        Cheers.

        Just worried about jota rotation with heavy fixtures load
