£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.

    Made 3 terrible mistakes with price rises already... kept Alli and Vinagrr, accidentally shipped Justin on WC last night not realizing he rose once already

    Early price rises are actually so important

    1. Sarri-ball
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      yeah but dont be sucked in

      I went son to rashford to save 0.1 loss for a hit. And know how that went lol

    2. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      They're not that important.

      Once you've lost the first 0.1m you can afford to lose 0.4m more before it cuts off another price bracket effectively.

  3. Sarri-ball

  12. Hansel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Adams -> DCL worth a -4?

    1. super zlatan
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Yes

  13. Jamizz
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    So who gets the winning goal Baps? I hope it's Justin

    1. Champions League Varane
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Justin will be lucky to get one I think

    2. Liberate HK - antichinazi
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Pieters of course. Dumb question.

      1. Jamizz
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        How's been your GW mate?

  14. Niho992
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Come on Harvey mate, another goal please !

  15. Strchld
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Have to ask too, would you hit WC button?

    McCarthy* (Steer)
    TAA - Davies* - Justin - Taylor - Mitchell
    Auba* - Salah - Hamez - ASM* - Bissouma*
    Werner - Adams* - Martial

    * = Defo want to get rid
    Also probably Martial out unless ManU show something good.

    Would like to bring KdB, Jimi, Podence, Saiss, goalkeeper, James, maybe DCL or Richalison.

  16. Top Lad Dakes.
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    How long is Justin an option for?

    ie when is Pereira likely back starting? Trying to decide between him Taylor KWP.

    1. Rinseboy
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      at least a month or not more

  17. Differentiator
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    No way Justin gets dropped if he continues to play like prime Marcelo

  18. MoSalalalalalalalalah
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Scored 54 points last week, took Ings & Mane out for Martial & KDB. Now stuck on 50 points, with 2 left. Disaster start. Going to WC tonight.

    1. elchilangles
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      kdb hasnt played yet, could be a hatrick of goals or assists incoming!

  19. dshv
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Mccarthy
    Taa mitchell davies justin taylor
    Asm salah kdb bruno soucek
    Werner wilson davis

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

    Both (-8) ???

  20. Top Lad Dakes.
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Son on WC or no?

    Was today a bit of a one off caused by Saints being horrendous?

    1. Niho992
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I would, but not because he scored 4, he also have great fixtures

    2. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I think today was a bit of a one off but Son still a decent pick. Looks sharp but Spurs don't look great in general.

  21. Collie01
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Cstagne playing like prime Robbo

    1. Differentiator
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      *Justin

      1. Collie01
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Justin like Doherty going for goals.

  22. Bartowski
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Do you think there might be double risers this week?

    1. Orion
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Exactly what I want to know also...

      1. George Agdgdgwngo
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Yes son

    2. Yank Revolution
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Yes

    3. Dr. Rog
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      bamford

    4. Mike2795647
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      DCL

  23. Brosstan
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Praet wasting Soyboy assist

  24. Slitherene
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Willian -> Sterling/KdB

    Worth a hit?

    1. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Yes

  25. Piggs Boson
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Do you think Reece James is nailed?

    1. Flair
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      No, not while Azpi is at the club.

    2. Dr. Rog
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      think phasing one out the other in.

    3. Rinseboy
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I have my doubts and don't wanna be stuck with a 5m doubt. Is Azpi been sitting on the bench because surely that won't carry on week in week out? Prefer maybe a Wolves double up with Saiss and maybe Justin and Robbo/Trent

  26. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    New territory for me, never been on 3M+ OR before playing this game. I know it's only GW2 ... this is going to be unpleasant ride season! Any experiences out there to calm me down 🙂

    1. Bartowski
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      The Syrian Civil War

      1. Magic Zico

        🙂 That's extreme man

        1. Bartowski
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          I sold Kane for Martial.

          1. Magic Zico
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            Yeah unlucky fella

    2. Yank Revolution
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      You can make ridiculous rank jumps early in the season. Just need performances.

      1. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah I know this just never been here before

  27. Ajax Hamsterdam

    people on wc, keeping taa or not ? thanks

    1. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      No from me. Robbo looked at least equal to him. But likely I'll just avoid them entirely. Defense is proving to be pretty fruitless this season.

      This week has been insane. Just 2 clean sheets so far.

      1. George Agdgdgwngo
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Wow that’s a bold,move. Christ if it pays off fair play,

        I guess it’s easy to switch to taa if things change

    2. mr. inconspicuous
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Thinking of swapping for either Robbo or VVD

    3. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      thanks both

    4. Danstoke82
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Keeping for now. Want to keep the faith. He will come good I’m sure. Least he got a CS today.

  28. Edge
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Justin nailed?

    1. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      For now

    2. Danstoke82
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Until pereira comes back but how can Justin be dumped at the moment is my question. Playing very well.

  29. Kodap
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Which defensive setup would you prefer?

    1. Trent - Taylor - Saiss - Mitchell & Dallas
    2. Robbo - Taylor - Saiss - Justin & Dallas

  30. HuttonDressedasLahm
