Leicester unchanged as FPL managers lump on the Foxes’ in-form players

Four of the five most-bought Fantasy Premier League assets of Gameweek 11 were Leicester City players, with over one million transfers alone used on Jamie Vardy (£9.4m) and Youri Tielemans (£6.5m).

Ayoze Perez (£6.1m) and Ben Chilwell (£5.6m) were part of this popular quartet, with the Foxes by some distance the most in-demand team in the Fantasy community following their 9-0 win over Southampton.

Almost 1.9 million transfers were spent on Leicester players in the eight days between the Gameweek 10 and 11 deadlines.

Brendan Rodgers’ side are in action this afternoon, in the first of two Premier League fixtures to take place on Sunday.

The Foxes are the visitors to Selhurst Park, where Crystal Palace have been a tough nut to crack this season.

The Eagles’ total of three clean sheets and three goals conceded in home league games can’t be bettered by any other top-flight club in 2019/20.

Rodgers’ troops, of course, come into this game off the back of plundering nine goals at St. Mary’s but before that rout of Southampton, they had only scored on four occasions in as many league fixtures on the road.

A run of away games against Chelsea, Sheffield United, Manchester United and Liverpool can perhaps partly explain that and, more encouragingly, Leicester have won all five of their league meetings – home and away – against clubs who finished outside of last season’s top seven.

Vardy has himself banked 11 attacking returns in those five fixtures against the “also-rans” of the Premier League.

In the least surprising team news of Gameweek 11, Leicester are unchanged from the starting XI that hammered Ralph Hasenhuttl’s side just over a week ago.

Roy Hodgson has made two alterations, one of which is enforced.

The injured Andros Townsend‘s (£5.6m) place has been filled by Jeffrey Schlupp (£5.5m), while the fit-again Vicente Guaita (£5.0m) is back between the posts after a brief two-game stint for Wayne Hennessey (£4.4m).

Martin Kelly (£4.1m), by some distance the most-owned Palace player and still in one in four FPL squads, is only among the substitutes.

Crystal Palace XI: Guaita, Ward, Tomkins, Cahill, van Aanholt, Zaha, Kouyate, Milivojevic, McArthur, Schlupp, Ayew.

Leicester City XI: Schmeichel, Chilwell, Evans, Soyuncu, Pereira, Ndidi, Tielemans, Maddison, Barnes, Vardy, Perez.

    Who to drop to fit Vardy? 1FT 1.0 ITB

    Sterling, Mane, Mount, Martial, KDB

    Jimenez, Abraham / Greenwood

    1. Limbo
      • 13 Years

      Martial.

      I have the exact same front 8. I'm thinking of dropping Sterling and upgrading Vardy.

        *upgrading Greenwood to Vardy

    4. g40steve
      • 6 Years

      Sterling or KDB

    5. Evil Greg

      Looks fine.

    6. Pukki Blinders
      • 4 Years

      Have the same front 8, not prepared to drop any for Vardy. Going to go without for another week lol

    I’ve had an absolute nightmare, did Auba + Maddison > Sterling (c) + Connolly and I’ve got Soyu first bench spot with Rico second not coming on.

    1. iL PiStOlErO
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Sorry but that moves were not good in the first place. Ars ans Lei have great fixtures. Chasing pts from Raz in just one game could have worked but I wouldn't risk it just for one game.

      1. Super John McGinn-
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Auba blanked in last two with Lacazette back had one shot on target. Arsenal are also absolute dog. Sterling in form playing at home against Southampton. Pretty sure a lot of people made the same moves

    If only Chilwell had knocked that in - would have been an insane return from my triple up of Soy, Chilwell and vardy

  6. g40steve

    Maddy worth the price difference over P & T?

    1. Relaxing

      Not much in it. FKs swing it maybe

    2. Pumpkinhead *non-expert*
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      I think so, he's on set pieces.

    3. Tomerick
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      He always was. It took one game where Perez finally did something and suddenly everyone loses it.

      Maddison is pure class and on set pieces. Perez is not assured of starts.

      Tielemans is still a great pick but Maddison has enough to justify the extra outlay.

    4. g40steve
      • 6 Years

      Cheers, all talk previous weeks not worth the extra.

  7. dansmusen

    Only have Schmeichel in this game and all my rivals have Vardy and Maddison. That last goal hurt.

    Soyuncu first sub puts a crappy tarnish on an otherwise good, for once, GW. 86 all out if Maddison keeps BAPs should be an alright green arrow finally.

    Vardy in, and Son/Martial to follow I think both for free.

    1. Pumpkinhead *non-expert*

      He'll get 2 bonus

      Soyuncu 14 pointer for £4.7m. What a bargain!

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

        Probably would have taken 14 if offered it at KO.

  20. Stupendous
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    My god, Soyuncu Lundy Montoya etc etc...

    Someone has got 80 odd points from a 20m back 4!

    Meanwhile my 40m mid got less than 10 combined.

  21. Stoic
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Would you have done Ota to Soy for -4 last week with Rico first bench ?

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

      Nope. I would have played Otamendi

      1. g40steve
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        I did that blocked Lundy 🙁

    95 with Gazzaniga to play. Will take that!

      Wow insane score congrats mate.

      I'm looking at Pope to Gazzaniga potentially next time I have a spare FT

      1. Differential C (Mark)
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Watch this game to observe Spurs solidity. But Gazza should get plenty of saves.

      2. Pukki Blinders
        • 4 Years

        Does Vorm not concern you?

        1. Differential C (Mark)
          • 8 Years

          Was a concern, but after that incredible performance vs Pool last week, not anymore.

    4. Over Midwicket
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Soyuncu 3 Maddison 2 Schmeichel 1 for bonus then

      Cant really complain really as a Maddison owner. Happy to hold on to him!

    2. Gentle_Turks

  24. Mr. O'Connell
    • 11 Years

    Need Gazzaniga to save the week again. Couple of penalty saves will do it.

    1. It's his Job.

      I will be very happy with just a clean sheet.

    Finally it feels like a game where our edge over casual managers paid off! Don’t think I’ve felt like this so far this season!

    1. iL PiStOlErO

      Me too. It is nice to remeber that feeling.

    Officially the last time I listen to anyone on here. Had Soyuncu in all week until the consensus became Tomori ahead of him. I don’t know why I get influenced by lesser managers. My record over the years proves I should make my own decisions. Error in hindsight but it won’t happen again.

      I hate post like this - You don't have to listen to anyone on here. It's your team, do what you want. If you CHOOSE to listen than it's on you.

      1. yer old da
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        As I said an error and I take full responsibility. Not blaming anyone but me, just making the point I shouldn’t be influenced by those I’m generally better than.

        1. Pumpkinhead *non-expert*
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          You've been on here for 9 years, and you're still complaining about 'listen to lesser managers'. Sad.

      ok

      i did same with rico over soyuncu 2min before deadline and am pissed but not just fully blaming people on here. they didnt press the button for me/you as much as it's annoying. looked a good decisions pre-deadline as i expected both to concede and rico typically more goal threat. even tomori too

    4. jia you

    5. Pukki Blinders

      That's like betting on the favourite and getting upset when the underdog wins. I did the same and I'm not crying over it
