£4.0m FPL defender Dunne makes first Premier League start in Tarkowski absence


The last of four Premier League matches to take place on Sunday is the late kick-off at the King Power Stadium, with Burnley the visitors to Leicester.

Play gets underway at 19:00 BST.

Jamie Vardy (£10.1m) is the most-owned player on show in this game, with almost one in four Fantasy Premier League managers owning the Leicester City striker.

He is part of an unchanged starting XI, with James Maddison (£7.0m) again having to be content with a place on the bench.

After blanking in Gameweek 1, Burnley finally get their 2020/21 league campaign off and running.

As was the case at the end of last season, the Clarets are down to the bare bones.

Johann Berg Gudmundsson (£5.5m) picked up an injury in midweek, joining Ashley Barnes (£6.0m), Ben Mee (£5.0m) and Jack Cork (£5.0m) on the sidelines.

James Tarkowski (£5.5m) has also failed to recover from a “bruised toe”, so budget FPL defender Jimmy Dunne (£4.0m) is handed his first-ever Premier League start.

Robbie Brady (£5.0m), rather than an ‘out of position’ Erik Pieters (£4.5m), gets the nod in Gudmundsson’s absence.

Nick Pope (£5.5m), the leading FPL points-scorer among goalkeepers last season, is between the posts and is the only Burnley asset who boasts a double-digit ownership.

No goalkeeper kept more clean sheets away from home than Pope (seven) in 2019/20, although six of them came against clubs who finished in the bottom half.

Vardy registered 17 attacking returns at home last season, which no other FPL forward could top.


Leicester City XI: Schmeichel, Castagne, Ndidi, Soyuncu, Justin, Mendy, Ayoze Pérez, Tielemans, Praet, Barnes, Vardy.

Burnley XI: Pope, Bardsley, Long, Dunne, Taylor, Brady, Brownhill, Westwood, McNeil, Wood, Rodríguez.

    What’s your thoughts lads?

    McCarthy Nyland
    TAA Davies Vinagre WalkerP Mitchell
    Salah Auba Son ASM Greenwood
    Werner Brewster Mitrovic

    2FT. Tempted by WC. Vinagre dropping last week is blocking a lot of transfers.

    Any suggestions?

    1. Gooner Kebab
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Seems a waste to WC with 2FT

    2. Rolls-Royce
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      I think -4 or -8 will do. Save WC

  2. Wag the Drog
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Auba, Davis -> Son, DCL? (-4)

    McCarthy
    TAA-Robertson-Davies-Justin-Taylor
    Salah-Auba-ASM-Perreira-Bissouma
    Werner-Martial-Davis

    1. Gooner Kebab
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      No brainer imo

    2. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Not getting a City mid?

      1. Wag the Drog
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        It’s either Auba to KDB or give myself more options after ASM looking bad/injured.

    3. Shineonme
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      great moves

  3. Gooner Kebab
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Have TAA and Robbo - who should i drop for funds?

    1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Robbo

  4. dshv
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Asm to podence (-4)
    Wilson to dcl (-4)

    Both (-8)

    1. Gooner Kebab
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Hold imo

  5. Pigeon
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Wildcard or do a -8? Already used 2FT and want to switch to 3 forwards

    Ryan
    TAA Doherty Taylor KWP
    Salah Auba Rodriguez ASM
    Werner DCL
    Walton Mitchell Bissouma Vassilev

  6. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Is there any hope in holding on to Wilson?

    1. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      well he probably isnt a high priority move, but he is a move at some point

    2. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      There is hope. But probably wait until later considering he has tot BUR MUN in the next 3.

  7. AF90
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Auba & Adams -> Son & Jimenez -4?

    1. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Those seem like easy transfers to me. Do it as long as you can get a man city player fairly easily

      1. AF90
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        I can't, team is...WC or no?

        McCarthy (Steer)
        TAA, Coady, Justin (Lascelles, Mitchell)
        Salah, Auba, Rodriguez, Havertz, ASM
        Werner, Adams (Brewster)

        1. Camzy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          I'd WC yes.

          You make that -4 and you still have Havertz in your team.

          1. FPL Daniel
            • 14 Years
            3 years, 7 months ago

            Bookmarked

  8. T.Henry14
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    I went crazy today, I have 2 injured players, but I still think it's smartest to wait another day with the transfer?

    My team:

    Ramsdale
    TAA, Tierney*, Taylor, KWP, Mitchell
    Salah, Auba*, Rashford, Pereira, ASM*
    Werner, Mitrovic, Brewster

    1 FT, I want to throw out 3 players (Auba, Tierney, Saint-Maximin)

    1. Gooner Kebab
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Or just WC

      1. T.Henry14
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        I would rather go to -8, for a WC is too early after GW2.

        1. GOTHAM City F.C.
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          This, ASM is the priority

  9. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Pick one please:

    1) Mitro + Sterling + VVD
    2) Werner + Zaha + TAA

    1. onceuponatyne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      2, but you know that really don'tcha.

      1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Had just a hint of doubt.

  10. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Keep Wilson or get Jimenez (-4)?

    1. R Whites
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Jimi for the long haul!

    2. Hansel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      I'd do it

  11. Von Lipwig
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Wilson > Maupay?

    1. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Wood instead?

      1. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        This

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

    Wc needed here?? 2ft 1.5itb

    McCarthy button
    Taa Justin holding Mitchell buur

    Werner ings davis

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      I would - but would be interested in to see what you can get with 4 transfers (-8 hit)?

      1. Rhodes your boat
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Well auba havertz ings asm could become sterling son Jimenez zaha for -8

        1. Magic Zico
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          Zaha could wait imo, so with -4 your team is very good!

          1. Rhodes your boat
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 7 months ago

            So wait on asm to zaha?

  13. Hansel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    A) Play Mitchell
    B) ASM -> Zaha -4, play Zaha
    C) Mitchell -> Saiss (-4), play Saiss

    1. GOTHAM City F.C.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      A or B

  14. HippY
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Considering this for GW3

    Auba/ASM/Adams > Kane/Podence/Rodriguez

    For -4

  15. pablo discobar
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    GK 4.5/4
    DEF Saiss, Lamptey, Taylor, Justin, James
    MID Salah, KDB, Son, Bruno, JRod
    FWD DCL, Mitrovic, Brewster

    That's the wildcard plan, as much as I like Lamptey, tempted to make him a 4 so I can get a 5 gk - Ramsdale?

    Should I?

    Thanks

    1. BOATIES FC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      I'd rather have Ryan than Ramsdale

  16. AF90
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    McCarthy (Steer)
    TAA, Coady, Justin (Lascelles, Mitchell)
    Salah, Auba, Rodriguez, Havertz, ASM
    Werner, Adams (Brewster)

    Who needs to go ASAP? Willing to take -8...

  17. BOATIES FC

    • 5 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    On WC

    Ryan
    Robbo Siass Keane
    Salah KDB Son Rodriguez
    Jimmy DCL Bamford

    Lamptey Mitchell Reed

    TAA downgrade to Robbo for funds worries me though

  20. Gudjohnsen

    No United or Arsenal on a WC madness?

    1. Maddi Son
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      I chose United as my team to sacrifice on WC. Not because of the Palace game, but I can't decide which one of their attackers I want. Hoping Greenwood starts games

  21. g40steve

  22. Kasper the ghost keeper

    1. HippY
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      All day long

      1. Kasper the ghost keeper
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        For got the (-4) part, probably worth it nonetheless

    McCarthy
    TAA, Taylor, Mitchell
    Auba, Salah, Son, ASM, Soucek
    Werner, Martial

    Steer, Holding (liv), Justin (mci), Davis

    Can this be salvaged with a -4 ?

    A) Auba and Davis to James Rodriguez and Jimenez for a hit
    B) WC

  24. Wolfman180
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    I can't say I'm not tempted by a wildcard this week given the team I currently have:

    Ryan, Nyland
    TAA, Tierney, Taylor, Ferguson, KWP
    Aub, Salah, Son, ASM, Bissouma,
    Werner, Adams, DCL

    Feel like I have a few fires to put out

  25. Niho992
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Come on Harvey. Another involment please

  26. ivantys
    • 3 Years

    Pieters essential!

  27. Gudjohnsen
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Robbo or TAA on a wc?

  28. SH1M1
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Trent has competition 😉

  29. Ady87
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Werner/Auba > Martial/Sterling for free? (Got no City or United)

    Own ASM, Bavies, Brewster but have enough of a squad to get out some decent teams the next few weeks or should I be starting with them?

  30. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    This Castagna guy cannot be ignored
