Leicester differentials could reward investment in 2019/20

1,915 Comments

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.

As this article uses data Fantasy Football Scout Members Area, only those who are signed up for the 2019/20 can access it in full.

    A. Wilson + Jota + 5.5 def
    B. Vardy + Wesley + 5.0 def

    Each would be in my starting lineup absent extraordinary circumstances.

      Neither really.

      Otamendi, Stones, Walker, Fernandinho can all play RCB.

      Laporte, Zinchenko, Mendy, Angelino can all play LB.

      When you pick a City defender that isn't Laporte, I think you accept that there's going to be times where you expect some points but they don't play.

          He doesn't cut it for me. I think the likes of Pickford, Fabs and one or two of the 4.5's will get more points per million.

          In fact if City concede one or two on Sunday, I can see many ignoring their defence from the start.

          We're mostly reactionary after all.

      Firmino is going to score well in relation to other strikers in that range. But the Liverpool defenders will match him for less money, and have higher ownership.

      If you don't have Sterling then you should at least have KDB imo.

      Ultimately, it's your team. But popular players are the best way to protect your rank.

      Pretty good, but room for improvenent. Zaha is a tricky pick. Not sure about Wood (I know 2x hattricks in preseason but its preason). Mane is a bold pick as Im not sure he will start first gameweek. Ryan is a bad pick. No good 4.5's imo.

        Yes. These guys you mentioned im unsure about, in final draft. I just spent some time upgrading King to Vardy, and Then Vardy now to Kane. Ill be tinkering around some more.
        I think maby Vardy is smartest to start with. And have eighter Salah or Sterling in the team from start.

    Lloris
    Robertson TAA Digne Zinchenko
    Salah KDB Perez Barkley
    Kane King

    4.0 Greenwood Kelly Dendoncker

    Yes Barkley is a slight worry. But seems like he is going to play the number 10 role this year. At 6.0 he is worth the risk. If not, team is balanced enough to do some changes.

      Stones is rubbish and will never be nailed in Pep's defense.

    Right here's the latest. Dropping double Pool defence and going for rotating 4.5s (not sure who yet). What say ye!?

    Heaton (4)
    Robertson - Coleman - Zinc - Diop/Dunk
    Salah - KDB - Bilva - Perez (Donks)
    Kane - Wilson (Greenwood)

      TAA on corners and some FK's, I'd keep him over Robertson if choosing between the two. I'm also deciding maybe the extra 2.5mil could be used elsewhere instead of a pool double up. Watch Norwich sneak a goal week 1 and this site will go into pandemonium.

    Evening all. My teams pretty much set apart from a few places. Main problem is deciding wether to go with Laporte or Ederson. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

    ****
    TAA / VVD / Diop / ****
    Salah / Sterling / Sigurdsson / ****
    King / Vardy / ****
    Bench fodder

    I’m thinking.
    A) Ederson / 4.5 def / Deulofeu
    B) Heaton / Laporte / 6.0 mid

    Salah vs Sterling - the discussion

    Salah - played 1 friendly, just back from Internationals
    Sterling - Potentially up front instead of Aguero

    Both good fixtures... discuss.

      If you’ve got the guts and reckon Sterling will do better early doors, go for him. You know why everyone has Salah.

      Ideally but if it's either or, then it's definitely Salah for me.

      Pens, more captainable, more nailed, scores more points.

    Another tinker, another front line. Template backline though more attacking up top.

    Pope
    Robbo, Laporte, VVD, Digne
    KDB, Barkley, Perez, Salah
    Auba, Deulofeu

    Heaton, Greenwood, Dendocker, Kelly

      Looks very nice to me. Auba could be a great differential. Prefer him to Lacazette?

        I've considered both. Want to see how they line up with Pope. If Laca is in the middle then it'll be him.
