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.

    What does Vardy do that other 32 year olds dont? He plays like a 24 year old.

      The pace of the guy is impressive and his conversion accuracy equally so.

      Vodka and Charlie?

      Apparently he came to high level professional football years later than most other PL strikers so is less prone to injury.

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

        Yeah, him and Kane going in different direction and Kane is 6 yeara younger. Strange.

      That’s nothing. I scored a hole in one in foot golf not too long ago.

    5. Bushwhacker

    Finally I got a break this week...

    Captained Vardy and taking a hit for Mount > Maddison paid off. Happy days 🙂

      • 12 Years

    1. Ha Ha Land
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      No. Who said that.

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

    3. Big boy Bowen
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

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

    2 FTs. Rico + Mount + Perez => Soy + Madders + Nakamba (3rd sub behind Janmaat and Connolly) for -4. Any reason why not?

    1. Karan14
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Hard to argue with that honestly.

      1. Ze_Austin
        • 5 Years

  12. Tomerick

  13. Pedersen
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Sterling + cho + Kelly to Madison + Pulisic + Robertson ?

  14. Eze Really?
    • 9 Years

    Was I right to bench boost with this side?

  17. Woy_is_back
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    61 points with TAA Mane KDB and Jimenez left. Quite dissapointing

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

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

      1. Tcheco
        • 6 Years

      He was pretty high for a while last season as well, there must be a lot of overlap between chess and FPL.
