£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.

    How does Wildcard work? What happens to price changes? Could someone describe it to me? If I activate Wildcard today, will player prices not increase / decrease until the end of the window?

      You’ll get the rises for all your players. Remember that you’ll only gain 0.1 in selling value for every 0.2 they rise.

      Don’t get rid of players temporarily that you want to keep if they are going to rise.

  26. Misunderstood Genius
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Who do you think deserves another chance week?

    Werner (wba away)
    Adams (Burnley away)

    Considering Werner would be dropped for Jimenez and Adams for Mitro

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I would be tempted to keep both. Adams stats are amazing

      1. Misunderstood Genius
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        How was he vs Spurs?

        1. Concrete
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Should have scored a brace in the first half

          Second half invisible
