£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.

      My rival just hit 116 with that Justin goal. I’m struggling to get past 40

    4. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years

      Well.. It is a really good team.. So guess he deserves it.. Well played to him

      I love that team. Pretty much copy it if on wc

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        I’m on wc lol

        1. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          And my team crushes his now

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

    McCarthy
    Digne / Davies / KWP / Mitchell
    Salah / Aubameyang / Fernandes / ASM*
    Werner / Ings

    Steer // Brewster / Justin / Bissouma*

    - Saints vs BUR
    - Werner vs WBA
    - Digne/Davies with favourable fixtures
    - ASM to Podence/Klich

    Or Wildcard? Team is not in great form and full of fallers.

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

      I’m similar to you - the price falls are annoying but the team is fine isn’t it???

      ASM -> Podence
      Auba -> Pulisic/ KDB

      Are moves I’m considering

  3. Zimo
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Will justin still get baps for winning goal before its finalised?

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

      Should, yeah

  4. TheSteel

  5. FPL Daniel

    I think no crowds makes it worse for the defense. They loose focus and make mistakes without the fans making them more alert and motivating them.

    Thoughts? This no fans has to be involved for this no CS's and zilion goal no?

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Maybe it's making the attackers better.

    2. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      the lackluster defence is probably due to no preseason

      organization is key for defence and players are rusty. Attackers can express themselves more

  6. AlternativeB
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Mcarthy (nyland)
    KWP Taa Justin (Bernardo) (Mitchell)
    Salah bruno ASM Auba (Stephens)
    Mitro DCL Werner

    Do I Wildcard?

    1. HonestBlatter
      • 13 Years

      Usually added after game ends...

  8. HonestBlatter
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    What to do with McCarthy? Enough problems to be solved and with him starting I wont have playing GK

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

      You think he will be dropped?

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

        Has to be after todays failure

  9. Rainer

        • 8 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        me too.. 4.5 starting leicester defender, why wouldn't you have him!?

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

    For the record Camzy said is selling TAA on WC. Eager to see whether it will happen

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

      It’s a bold move. Fair play if he does it

  11. Garfield1001
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Would you wildcard this team:

    McCarthy 4m
    TAA Justin Doherty KWP Mitchell
    Auba JRod Son ASM Bissouma
    Vardy Adams Werner

    Opinions appreciated!

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

      Absolutey not, are you out of it

      1. Garfield1001
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Loads of issues?

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

          The points of yesterday are almost never the points of tomorrow. Focus on taking one player out (I think Adams to Mitro is wisest now). Doherty against Newcastle looks allright and Auba can definitely score against Liverpool (same for Vardy against City). Take it one step at a time,

  12. Jebiga
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Is dunne good 4.0 pick?

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

      Only shortterm

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

      As long as Tarkowski is out he prolly is..

  13. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Getting rid of Son cost me a ton this week. Sick is an understatement.

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

      Learn from it, don't sell a quality player based on 1 GW.

      1. DA Minnion (Former great)
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        It was more about getting bruno in.

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Same, can’t play this game anymore

    3. All For One
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Why did you sell Son against Southampton? Both Spurs and Southampton based on GW1 had poor defences, there was bound to be goals.

  14. xHaTr
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Any thoughts on my wildcard draft?

    Martinez
    TAA Saiss Taylor
    Son Salah Zaha KDB
    Jimenez DCL Wood

    Steer Lamptey Mitchell Reed

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

      I like this, just Martinez that I am not sure of

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

    Forget price rises, will need a break from this game for few days before touching any transfer or WC buttons ...

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

      Fear of price drops made me WC out Mane/Son/Mitrovic

      1. DA Minnion (Former great)
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Ouch

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

        That's my worry ... I will chill out and come back strong, ha-ha-ha 😀

  16. FDMS All Starz
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Would you WC this team or jus make some changes?

    1FT
    McCarthy

    Adams - Wilson - Werner
    Wc team:

    Guaita

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

    Auba out for
    A) Son
    B) Sterling
    C) Kdb

    Obvs chasing points with son, but if he keeps playing in that postion should do well!?!

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

      B

    2. bootsmanus
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Watch the Man City game and then make your decision.

    3. Jebiga
      • 11 Years

      C

    4. Utopsis

      Wait for the City game

    triggerlips has said he was right in selling son and is blocking people who argue with him

    1. Flair

      Lmao

    2. TheSteel

      Who?

    3. FPL_trail_runner
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      It was still the correct decision.
      -Spurs played midweek
      - they looked in crisis
      -creating nothing
      - Mourinho looked to be already making enemies

      Outcome however went against. He wont score 4 goals ever again in one game.

      1. fr3d

  19. KGFC
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Glad I parted ways with Vardy for Martial and not Ings.

  20. Weeb Kakashi
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Enough reason to WC?

    McCarthy
    TAA Digne Saiss Ayling
    Auba Havertz Alli
    Werner Jimenez DCL

    Tierney Reed Bissouma

    FT Already used. Attack and defence look fine. Take a -8 in midfield OR WC??..

    1. All For One
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Wildcard Werer, Havertz and Alli need to go.

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

    Is Dunne a good option on a WC if it enables you to upgrade a 4.5 to Justin?

    1. noahzark22
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      no not a likely starter after Mee returns.

  22. noahzark22
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    now just no high scoring games tomorrow, a 66 will do me well. Probably a small red regardless.

  23. yakirh
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Omg 98 points all out

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years

      Ok ok

    2. George Sillett

      Not bad.

  24. Lukakwho

    Auba and Moura to KDB and Hamez right now good moves? Not got any other Everton

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

      No idea why you had moura but yeah good move.

  25. Rainer

    Not looking good for a Justin BAP but it’s very tight.

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

      Who cares, hes 4.5 and scores when he wants.

      1. All For One
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        4.6...

  26. Silecro
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    What to do here? trying not to WC

    McCarthy
    TAA/Taylor/Justin
    Salah/Auba/ASM*/James
    Werner/Mitro/Martial

    Nyland/Vinagre*/Mitchell/Bissouma

    0.4 itb

    Planned to do Auba > KDB but that will obviously need to wait a week. ASM probably going for one of the Leeds boys, and Vinagre for....i dont know who for 4.8

  27. Zimo
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Who besides me thinks Lindelof was exposed as a fraud of a defender with no AWB to cover his ass? Was responsible for all 3 goals by palace

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

      lindelof has been exposed many time with awb on the pitch.

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

    After this weekend's games can people stop placing so much importance on prices? Son's price drop made loads of you desperate to transfer him out despite his fantastic run of fixtures. It's a points game not a price game.

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

      Yeah I'm keeping bruno. He'll probably fall which makes me sad but the team i want has room for 0.5 loss so i think I'm okay
