£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.

    I need another 4m defender. How’s Dunne looked tonight? How longs he got?

      Same here but worried what is left like KDB etc could still end up a pretty bad GW

      1. Rolls-Royce
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        True

    3. Homer21

      Well done

    4. Pompel
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Ditto.
      Barnes and Justin saving this calamitous GW for me

    Imagine not having a 4.5 defender that returns attacking points every week.

    1. Rassi
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah, that Lamptey boy is pretty good.

      1. TheSteel

  4. Maddi Son
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Good news: 85(-4) this week
    Bad news: 98 if I left my team alone
    Subtle brag: Is it though?

    1. elchilangles
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    2. Gudjohnsen

      Son captain?

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

        Transferred out Son for a hit. (Serious)

        That god damn 0.1 fall was going to ruin my WC.

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

          How did you not have Son with that name!

        2. Gudjohnsen
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Bad luck. I reluctantly kept him but captained Auba.

    3. Debauchy
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Same here , happy enough after no Salah gw1

  5. Bobby Digital
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Might end up using a transfer on ASM ➡ Soucek. Sexy innit?

    1. Concrete
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Both dropping

    1. super zlatan
      • 13 Years

    1. Right In The Stanchion
      • 4 Years

      Yes for his GW4 hat trick

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

      Depends how KDB looks

    3. Homer21
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Thinking about it

    4. Debauchy
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Doubt it

  8. ivantys
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    All these double digits are making auba cap such a joke. I have 5 players scoring more than him damn it.

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

      I know so annoying

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

        Don't think i would have picked anyone else though, since i have no everton players. Could be worse if i picked vardy or awesome if i picked kane.

    McCarthy Nyland
    TAA Rob Doherty Vinagre Mitchell

      • 13 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

  11. Bury94
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Such a huge variety of scores this week, some with 30 points, some with nearly 100. Crazy

    1. Rolls-Royce
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Indeed.

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

    A) DCL Barnes/Zaha
    B) Mitro Hamez + 1.0 ITB (current)

    Trying not to let decency bias affect it in terms of DCL mostly (Hamez is a better player than him) what would you take and why? Currently on B as money ITB could be useful eg for Jimenez to Martial in the future

    WC moves 🙂

    1. puhd

    2. Bobby Digital

    As I keep saying no one can better my mane and son to KDB and rashford.

    It’s levels of self destruction rarely seen on these hallowed pages.

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

      Wow

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

      Oh god.

      You need a monster haul from Kev to even make that swallowable

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

        Mane to KDB was always happening (though picking mane over Salah was a huge **** up too).

        Spurs are awful, I just didn’t appreciate how poor saints are.

    3. TheSteel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      KDB could get 6 goals to match. It aint over

  15. jonnybhoy
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Rod or DCL?

  16. Pompel
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    I sold Barnes for next GW - for a hit.
    Need to strap those knees firmly to chair

  17. Royal5
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Not watching. Has Vardy played the whole game?

    1. g40steve
      • 6 Years

      Yes

      1. Royal5
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        4 goals and 0 points? Wow

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

    I almost did Havertz to Barnes. Now I have to give Havertz one more game since Barnes has City next . Oh well

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

    Which is the better use of my cash?

    A) ASM -> Zaha
    B) Adams -> DCL (play Mitchell over ASM)
    C) Mitchell -> Saiss (play Saiss over ASM)

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

      I needed many years to consider the value of the free transfer when making transfers

    2. Bartowski
      • 13 Years

  26. Bartowski
    • 13 Years

    Why is that every single member of the Burnley Squad and coaching team could have easily passed for a member of the Night's Watch in Game of Thrones?!

      3 years, 6 months ago

      Two stellar weeks and WC incoming to maintain the momentum, have to accept sometimes luck and jam is in your favour 😉

      1. FC Hakkebøf
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Why WC if your team is doing great?

        1. Whats the Huth
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          This.

        2. @persecuted_by_mods
            3 years, 6 months ago

            Maintain momentum, fixture change etc

      2. aapoman
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Havertz and Auba to Son and Sterling/KDB? Would propably have to do it tonight because of price rises. Also which one is better Sterling or KDB

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

          Auba to Sterling/KDB for me but it’s flip a coin on which one if you need to do it tonight imo.

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

        Is TAA > VVD a crazy move on a WC? It frees up funds to upgrade Podence > Foden or Justin > Castagne. I’m torn.

        1. BenDavies
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          I wouldnt do that. TAA looked very good tonight. Foden isnt that big of an upgrade on Podence, if at all, and Castagne instead of Justin is a luxury transfer. Keep.
