All eyes on Vardy as Leicester host Arsenal

All eyes will be on the King Power Stadium for the final match of Gameweek 12’s Saturday programme.

Leicester City host Arsenal, with a large number of managers backing Jamie Vardy (£9.5m) for the captaincy.

He was the winner of our latest poll and was also reported as the most popular option for the armband among the top 10,000 managers too.

34.9% of those at that level have trusted Vardy as their captain hoping he can continue his strong record against Arsenal.

In eight Premier League starts against the Gunners, he has scored eight times.

With each passing Gameweek, the interest in Vardy continues to rise as only Christian Pulisic (£7.4m) earned more transfers in since Gameweek 11 as the Foxes’ forward (370,000+).

James Maddison (£7.4m) has also been a popular figure in the transfer market, earning 230,000+ new owners for Gameweek 12, the fourth-highest.

Leicester players actually dominated the top 10 for transfers in, with Çaglar Söyüncü (£4.8m) and Youri Tielemans (£6.6m) also up there, with 140,000+ and 130,000+ new owners respectively.

That should see most of the Fantasy community willing on a win for Leicester this afternoon.

However, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£11.0m) still has the backing of 25.9% for Gameweek 12 and could be an interesting factor in this Saturday evening clash.

He starts up front for Arsenal alongside Alexandre Lacazette (£9.3m) and supported by Mesut Özil (£7.2m) in the number 10 role.

Unai Emery lines his side up in a 3-4-1-2 formation with Sead Kolasinac (£5.4m) and Hector Bellerín (£5.4m) as the wing-backs.

Leicester City XI (4-1-4-1): Schmeichel; Chilwell, Söyüncü, Evans, R Pereira; Ndidi; H Barnes, Maddison, Tielemans, Pérez; Vardy.

Arsenal XI (3-4-1-2): Leno; Holding, D Luiz, Chambers; Kolasinac, Torreira, Guendouzi, Bellerín; Özil; Aubameyang, Lacazette.

    1. Sandy Ravage
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Yes

    2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Think you have to go through Pulisic, Maddison, Martial, Mount, Ayoze, Tielemans, Willian before you come to McNeil

      Salah, Mané, Sterling, KDB, Son taking up 2 or 3 slots for most as well

      Not much room at the Midfield Inn presently

    This season just been very average for me.

    Just not enjoying it like past seasons. Seems more effort than enjoyment at the moment.

      Thia

    Tierney to Baldock gives me a sexy triple Sheff U back line and allows me to do CHO to pulisic or richalrison. Yummy

  7. Arteta
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Vardy to score and Arsenal win is all I ask for.

  8. Fred54

    Worst part about owning Yarmelenkomeolomenono is that there's a million options available, from one trap into another.

    1. Amey
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      I'm in another one (CHO)

  9. Botman and Robben
    • 7 Years

    I need Party and Tielephones to haul.

  10. Wild Rover

    The article pic shows how much Vardy loves the rain 🙂

    1. Epic Fail

      Looks like he has put a sock down there I think.

      1. Epic Fail

        Oh you mean his face.

        1. Wild Rover
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          Both

  11. Epic Fail

    • 13 Years

    Watching this game hoping Leicester players don't score, Auba doesn't score and Leicester don't keep a clean sheet.

    Should be an easy watch...

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

      An enjoyable Saturday evening at the Fail household on the cards 🙂

    2. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years

      Against all odds.

      Lol

  12. DantheManinaPan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    How badly do I need to get Pulisic then...

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      He’s still 0.1 below base price, yellow flagged, 2 weeks without a game, and Man City away next so if ever you have time to wait it’s now

      If one of Martial or Mount hasn’t looked good in the next two i’ll Be considering him in for either of those two though for GW14

    2. DR0GBA
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      not immediately...

      City next and CHO lurking

    3. DantheManinaPan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Thanks for the advice guys 😀

      Problem is I have 2FT and no major issues, aside from a lack of Pulisic, which is making me want to get him. Stats-wise he's the only guy ahead of Salah and Sterling over the last few (for xGI).

      Would be looking at Mount + CHO --> Pulisic + Nakamba, so my overall Chelsea contribution in the City game would be reduced...

      I guess it's one to consider but not hit the trigger early!

    Watching Tony Adams speak there was like watching an old Kinder add.

    3. Brosstan

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

      He was by far the best player on the pitch. So out of touch with reality this BPS system.

    5. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
