Vardy at his clinical best again as Wood continues to rack up the chances

Leicester City 2-1 Burnley

  • Goals: Jamie Vardy (£9.0m), Youri Tielemans (£6.4m) | Chris Wood (£6.2m)
  • Assists: Harvey Barnes (£5.9m) x2 | Dwight McNeil (£6.0m)
  • Bonus: Barnes x3, Vardy, Tielemans x2

Leicester City continued their impressive start to the season with an emotional win over Burnley, a victory that was ultimately decided by a controversial VAR call.

A fourth goal in as many matches from Clarets striker Chris Wood (£6.2m) had given the visitors the lead before Jamie Vardy (£9.0m) and Youri Tielemans (£6.4m) struck to secure a fourth straight home win for the Foxes.

But Sean Dyche’s side were denied an equaliser when Wood bundled both the ball and Foxes defender Jonny Evans (£5.0m) into the net.

Replays showed that there was contact between the pair, although it was arguable whether Evans would have been able to clear the ball even if he had been unimpeded.

If there was a strong sense of injustice about the decision for the visitors, Leicester’s win seemed entirely apt as the home crowd marked the first anniversary of former owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha’s death in a helicopter crash.

Manager Brendan Rodgers was keen to stress how tough the win was to come by, saying:

I’m really delighted for them, always going to be difficult to be at our fluent best. One because of the occasion, and two because of the opponent we were playing. To get the three points, to give the supporters that good feeling, and for Khun Top (Srivaddhanaprabha’s son), who is here, it was really nice.

Take the emotion out of the equation, however, and Burnley will wonder how they didn’t come away with at least a point from the game.

They not only had more shots on target than their hosts but also created three big chances to Leicester’s zero.

Not that Foxes fans – and a large slice of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers – will care one jot for those numbers.

The vast majority of the pre-match transfer activity surrounding the two sides involved Leicester players, with Ricardo Pereira (£6.2m) and James Maddison (£7.2m) in the top five for Gameweek 9 transfers in.

Vardy joined the pair in the top ten, while interest in Burnley assets was marginal – the total number of transfers involving the entire Burnley squad wasn’t much more than half of the 155,188 who swooped for the ex-England striker alone.

It didn’t take the deductive powers of a Coleen Rooney to see why when Vardy headed home a superb Harvey Barnes (£5.9m) cross to notch his third goal in three matches.

And with a fantastic run of fixtures to come over the next eight Gameweeks, his ownership is likely to rise well above its current 12% level.

Only three strikers have scored more goals than Vardy for the season, but the Leicester man has had to be ruthless along the way – something he has repeatedly been over the past four seasons, with his goal conversion rate always above 20% (he is the only FPL asset to achieve this in the Premier League for so long).

While Maddison blanked, it was left to the unheralded Barnes to fuel the Foxes’ win.

Owned by just 0.3%, the youngster set up both of his side’s goals to earn the maximum bonus points award and equal his output for all of last season – one goal and three assists – from just nine matches this time around.

Should he continue to hold down a regular place – he’s now started the last four games – Barnes could be a low-cost differential worth monitoring.

Maddison (13.8%) has been the main FPL attraction in midfield for Leicester, although a week involving illness and an ill-advised casino visit was hardly the best way to prepare for Saturday’s match.

But he underlined his goal threat by matching Wood’s game-high attempts tally of five, even if none forced a save from Nick Pope (£4.7m).

Instead, it was left to Tielemans to make his mark in midfield, the Belgium international ending a four-match drought with his second goal of the campaign.

Question marks remain over his consistency, however, as he has hauled just twice in nine straight starts.

And the same can be said for the Foxes’ backline, which has kept only two clean sheets so far, although the 92 shots they’ve allowed suggests better times ahead – especially with such a strong set of fixtures to come.

Burnley’s next few matches are not nearly as attractive. They face Chelsea next and will have also played both Manchester City and Spurs by early December, with tricky fixtures against Sheffield United and Crystal Palace in between.

Wood’s form remains impressive, although that didn’t stop his ownership dropping by 8,617 prior to the Leicester game, while his striker partner Ashley Barnes (£6.4m), who missed the match with a groin issue, continues to haemorrhage owners.

Dyche revealed afterwards that both Barnes and Jack Cork (£5.0m) have a good chance to recover for Gameweek 10, saying:

He [Barnes] is not a million miles away but it is that tricky decision of do you play and it get worse or do you not and you make sure you have an increased chance for the next one.

It is the same with Corky who has this tiny fracture in his shoulder blade but if someone landed on it then it re-fractures and you add another three or four weeks again.

They have a strong chance [for Chelsea].

The team’s most popular asset, the 12%-owned Erik Pieters (£4.8m), recovered from his own injury problems to start at the King Power, but it’s now three matches without a clean sheet for the Clarets.

For Dyche, however, it was all about VAR.

The Burnley boss said:

I find it incredible you can say that’s not a goal. I’ve seen it 12 times. Wood doesn’t change his running gait, he’s not looked down, he’s running in a natural motion. Evans is never going to get it in a million years. Unless he’s the quickest footballer on the planet, he’s not going to get it. I think there was contract. But it was not deliberate. It was a whisper of a touch. If we give that all over the pitch, it would be such a stop-start game.

Luck was clearly not on their side at the weekend and that might need to change quite dramatically to tempt major investment in key Burnley assets such as Wood.

For now, the focus is very much on the likes of Vardy, who is currently one of the top five purchases heading into Gameweek 10 and a promising trip to Southampton.

      Depends who you own/have on the bench...

    4. Rainer

      Please state which of the GWs you mean... 😉

      1. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        All GWs recently 🙂

    5. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Yes, again though.

  2. PlayPercentage
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Aubamayang captainers could shoot up the rankings this GW.

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Goal and at least two BAPs already added.

    2. JBG
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Hopefully he stays quiet, along with his teammates.

  3. Sailboats
    • 8 Years

    Need an Auba red card + own goal and Lundstram hat trick + CS to save my GW

    1. HurriKane
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Want the exact opposite

    2. Peter Ouch
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Tornado nore likely

  4. HurriKane
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Their might be a big shift in forward template in coming weeks

    New - Wood Vardy Ings Jimenez Wilson

    Past - Aguero Pukki Abraham Haller Barnes

    Anyone else jumping on new emerging forward options.

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Nope just Jimenez as planned

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Jiménez is playing weekend / midweek every week from now until Christmas

        1. The Ejiptian King
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          Wouldn't this be true of every team in Europe?

          1. Twisted Saltergater
            • 14 Years
            4 years, 5 months ago

            Probably 🙂

            It’s putting me off Jiménez though as Wolves aren’t blessed with squad depth.

            1. Magic Zico
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 5 Years
              4 years, 5 months ago

              No forward playing let alone scoring ... so will not over complicate stuffs at this point

    2. FPL.team
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Have Aguero and Vardy from that lot and keeping both.

      1. HurriKane
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Aguero is big rotation risk and city play 6 times in next 18 days. Will be rotated with jesus regularly.

        Jesus has scored in every game he started in pl. So pep doesnt see him as a downgrade to kun

        1. FPL.team
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          Don't care. I hear this every year and it never comes to pass. Captain at home to Villa is locked in.

          1. Magic Zico
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 5 months ago

            This! Make it simple ...

            1. FPL.team
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 7 Years
              4 years, 5 months ago

              Yep. This site overcomplicates and overthinks things way too much. I captained Aguero this week and still got 51 with Auba to play so even if it fails it's not always the end of the world...

              1. ChuckN
                • 14 Years
                4 years, 5 months ago

                51!

                I have what id consider a pretty decent squad and I got 20.

                Mane, kdb, Kun, ota, mount, TAA, maddison, abraham, pukki, Pope.

                Ffs

                  • 7 Years
                  4 years, 5 months ago

                  It was Vardy, CHO and Rico that saved me this week. 25pts just on those 3.

        2. Motty FPL
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          Also sterling a rotation risk, mahrez and bernardo. Only nailed is KDB. Worth the risk, Aguero hasnt missed a home game for a very long time, incoming hatrick (c) 😀

  5. rokonto
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Anyone know if Clark (Newcastle) will normally play?

  6. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years

    Cant wait for the busy period to come. Life without FPL is not that that

      One more IB to get through first.

      About 1hr 15mins before.

      Deadline he was risky.

    3. PlayPercentage
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      No. Everybody thought it was just a knock.
      Might as well wait until Wednesday to see if he is in the squad for the CL game.

          Surprising that with VC included but I suppose a lot will be getting the Aguero to salah and no one particularly hauled. Nice to still have you in the comp x

    3. Karhumies

        1. Karhumies
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          My -4 was Aguero and Pukki OUT, Abraham and C.Wilson(C) in. I thought those were pretty solid transfers but the FPL gods disagree.

    4. The 12th Man
      • 10 Years

      23 with Auba and Lundstrum left for me.

  10. Ask Yourself

    Can’t wait for Alisson to come back and give us those CS again. Liverpool only concede goals that are the Adrian’s fault so it can’t come soon enough

  11. Karhumies
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    19 -4 = 15 points with 3 to play (Ota miss brings Lundstram out from my bench).

  12. Big boy Bowen
    • 7 Years

    Some guy in my ML captained Alonso and is on 63 points, as if.

          1. The Ejiptian King
            • 5 Years

            He can't have done himself any harm, might be first choice now.

      2. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Probably that's the key for this season 😀

  13. DAZZ

    28 with Lundstram to play dropped to 60K anyone similar/worse?

    1. Rainer

      No, you’re the worst!

          OMG hahaha I'm sorry guys. I guess it's time for me to go to bed. Didn't see the part about "worst" and thought everyone was just sharing. Really! It's 1am here. I'm tired. Enjoy the rest of your evening all.

      17 with Auba left - 6th red arrow in a row and dropped from 750k to 1.1 million. Fun times.

        snap! samesies.

          Have you started cutting yourself yet? Asking for a friend.

            I lost the ability to express emotion around gw5.

    7. FPL.team
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      Scored 51 with Auba to play but still at 400k so technically worse.

      20 all out

  14. I Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Pope
    Alexander-Arnold, Otamendi, Soyuncu
    Sterling, Son, David Silva, Mount
    Firmino, Wilson, Abraham

    Button; Lundstram, Dendoncker, Rico.

    1 FT 1.7 ITB

    Need KDB back which will require a hit. Thinking Son + Ota -> KDB and someone. Wanted Robertson but 0.1 short of him. Which defender would you go for? Thinking Tierney or Wan-Bissaka.

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Just son> KDB for now. Play Rico if Ota not fit

      1. I Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Can't. Three City spots taken up.

        1. Ask Yourself
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          Oh lol. Tricky decision that. Dilva and sterling well worthy of keeping. Ota too if he’s fit and available. Maybe what you said but VVD perhaps? Otherwise go cheap for now and then shift one of your other cheapies for Robbo at a later date

    What's the difference between how VAR was used in the World Cup and how it's currently being used in PL?

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      If a decision is slightly wrong it won’t get overturned. If a decision is pretty wrong is won’t get overturned. If a decision is completely wrong it won’t get overturned.

    2. Ógie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      The refs in the WC used go to the sideline and look at the TV to decide on the borderline decisions.

      In the PL the VAR guys just rubber stamp the refs initial decision.

    3. FDMS All Starz
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      The on field ref in World Cup was more involved he made most of the decisions by going to the small tv but in PL the guys at the top decide what’s a pen and what’s not themselves more than in World Cup

    4. ZimZalabim
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      The problem with the way its being used in the PL is that they just want to back the ref because they believe that questioning the refs decisions will undermine them and make them less credible. Its a nonsensical paranoid view point from the Refs.
      Rather than use it as an asset they are using it like an obstacle or hindrance to them. They just need to use more common sense in its implementation.
      Both decisions today are fine, the handball rule is clear, intention is irrelevant if it strikes a hand its a handball.

      The Origi one is debatable but not enough to overrule a goal.

      But the overall usage of VAR in the prem has been a joke

    5. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      The ref in the VAR booths didn’t know the on field ref so didn’t feel bad overturning them.

    That Adrain bandwagon turned out to be a non runner....1,3,2,6.2,2,5,2,0

    Not even any profit to be made form his impending sale.

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Didn’t fall for this one but i don’t think I have ever got a keeper decision right. They all seem so poo

      Hey Ogie. You are such an Enigma 12th OR 2016/2107 Nobody here has got close. Keep it going mate

      1. Ógie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Things fell kindly for me in my life for that season as i had loads of time on my hands to waste on fpl.

        I am after two abysmal seasons which was no real surprise after such a high.I am just glad to be bordering on being competitive once again this season as i thought i had just lost my touch at one stage.

    4. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      One FT too, or two if not in on WC.

      Gazzaniga will be similar.

  17. FDMS All Starz
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Q1) If you still had double pool defence in the form of VVD & Robbo, what would you do?

    Q2) What to do with Otamendi?

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

      I have VvD, TAA and Otamendi. Think I will keep for now.

    2. circusmonkey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      No real reason to lose double Scouse defence.

  18. sovietrockettes

    Son to CHO or wait and see?

    1. Bob_the_builder
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Already done before CHO's price rise.

  19. Woy_is_back

    Liverpool need something better than Origi when one of Salah/Mane/Firmino are missing

    1. potatoace
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Origi wasn't that bad .
      the problem was firm and mane were, as you say, missing.

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Where is Sturridge?

      1. George Sillett
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Trabzonspor

      2. Angelic upstart
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Trabzonspor I think

    3. Firminooooo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Agere. They need one more forward.

  20. dansmusen
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Whats better. Lundstram CS or Auba goal ?

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Auba has 2% less EO, think Lundstram’s EO sky rockets with autosubs too so cheer for Auba

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      None for me

    3. potatoace
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      I would expect Lund has a greater EO. so Aub goal

    4. Ragabolly
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Lundstram has an EO of 49.40% after autosubs while Auba still has 35-ish. So Auba goal is better for you.

      1. Ask Yourself
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        It’s great having you here thanks x

        1. Ragabolly
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          Thanks mate 🙂

    5. dansmusen
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Cheering for Auba then 🙂

    6. Bob_the_builder
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      A Lundstram goal

    7. JBG
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Lundstram CS.

  21. Coaly
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Salah to Mane worth doing?

    1. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Nah

      1. Coaly
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Why? He’s been better recently

    2. Yank Revolution
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Yessir

  22. Firminooooo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    40 points. Lundstram to make it 50+.

    1. Monkey Pits
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      You should have gotten the assist 🙁

  23. Twisted Saltergater
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    I was quite excited having Mané (vc) when Aguero had a no show. Started to be worried when I saw Salah not make the starting line-up.

    1. Debauchy
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      This gw was about getting 1 more pt than your rival, we move on

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Not taking a hit feels a win in itself

  24. OptimusBlack
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    ppl keeping Both Salah & Kün ?
    Yaaaay
    Nope One of them out (Whom)

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Will try and keep Aguero for the Villa game but if KdB gets a rest vs Atalanta then I’m selling for him.

    2. Bob_the_builder
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Makes more sense to keep for now.

  25. Smurf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    According to LiveFPL Top 10k the following could be big rank changers tomorrow if they don't blank:

    Lundstram - 33.19% EO
    Aubameyang - 31.51%

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Lundstram up to 49.5% with autosubs. Auba is the one for the cool kids to do well on

      1. Smurf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        I really, reeeeeeeally need Lundstram to have a shocker.

    2. Ragabolly
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      True. Actually Lundstram's EO increases to 49.4% with autosubs (www.livefpl.net/autosubs)

      1. Smurf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Yuk.

    3. Angelic upstart
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      The cool kids are after an arsenal clean sheet and the arrival of bellerin and Tierney playing regularly.

      1. Smurf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        There is nothing cool about owning an Arsenal defender.

  26. Smurf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Robertson looks to have secured joint top BAPS with Rashford 😀

    1. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      So unless you have captained TAA then you've only gained 1 point over Robertson owners. Thats very nice as a Robbo owner after the pain at the start of the season.

      1. Rainer
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Good pricing from FPL.

      2. Twisted Saltergater
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        The difference is there isn’t a TAA owner doing the same check, because they have the better fantasy fullback.

        1. Smurf
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          I agree, he's 1 point better. I don't dispute that 😉

          1. Twisted Saltergater
            • 14 Years
            4 years, 5 months ago

            😛 🙂

      3. Cok3y5murf
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Owning both has been fun

    2. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Unbelievable Jeff

    3. Ask Yourself
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      You’re flying well done for keeping the faith in him

      1. Smurf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Thank you 🙂

    4. dansmusen
      • 6 Years

      Sweet

    5. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      So it seems. So Bobby didn't touch it. I thought he did, would like to see slow motion replay...

      1. Smurf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        I thought he did to be honest.

  27. Top Lad Dakes.
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    29 points with Lundstram to go from my WC. Lovely stuff...

    1. Celt Abroad
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Could be looking at high 60s then.

    2. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      So 41 all out...

    3. George Sillett
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      31 is ok this week.

    4. Yank Revolution
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Im at 30 all out from my fresh WC this week too. I never expect immediate crazy returns from my moves though, so its a long-term view Im taking.

  28. Eat my goal!
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Mount > CHO?

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      No

    2. George Sillett
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Got to be a piss take.

    3. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Nah.

      CHO better on the eye, Mount for the points.

  29. Regin
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Robbo assist was a goal for his owners. 3 +3 bps.
    Thanks Robbo , ur assist and bps my only return in this horrendous gw.

  30. TAT
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    30 + Auba. Could be worse, but when my mini league rival is on 50 points it's only a GW and WC failure.
