One enforced change apiece from Bielsa and Rodgers as Perez again fills in for Vardy

Leicester City can leapfrog Manchester United into second place in the Premier League table with a win over Leeds United this afternoon.

This is the second of four fixtures in the English top flight to take place on Sunday, with kick-off at the King Power Stadium at 14:00 GMT.

The two sides’ respective frontlines are a good place to start from a Fantasy perspective.

Leicester are still without the injured Jamie Vardy (£10.0m), so manager Brendan Rodgers again turns to Ayoze Perez (£6.0m) to lead the line against the Whites.

As for Leeds, Patrick Bamford (£6.6m) keeps up his ever-present record and will be aiming to find the back of the net for the first time in 2021.

Bamford is the most-owned Fantasy Premier League asset on show in this match, although he was the second most-sold player of Gameweek 21 and his three-game run without a goal or assist is his longest ‘drought’ of the season.

Both managers have been forced into a change apiece from their midweek games.

The hosts’ Wilfred Ndidi (£4.8m) is sidelined and is replaced by Nampalys Mendy (£4.3m) in central midfield, while budget FPL defender Pascal Struijk (£3.9m) fills in for Diego Llorente (£4.4m) for the visitors.

Goals are often guaranteed when Leeds are on the road, with an average of four per match scored when Marcelo Bielsa’s troops are on their travels.

No side has conceded more away goals than Leeds in 2020/21 but they have still managed to rack up four clean sheets away from Elland Road.


Leicester City XI: Schmeichel, Castagne, Fofana, Evans, Justin, Mendy, Tielemans, Albrighton, Maddison, Barnes, Perez.

Leeds United XI: Meslier, Ayling, Struijk, Cooper, Alioski, Phillips, Raphinha, Dallas, Rodrigo, Harrison, Bamford.

    3-5-2 makes way more sense for Chelsea with the squad they have. Pulisic only one who wil have to be slightly out of position higher up the pitch than normal

    Bamford and Barnes - great start.

    Barnes 4 returns in 4 games since I brought him in.

    bet Az is happy, he brought in Barnes because he thought he would explode this game.

    Bamford to DCL sellers deservedly punished!

      'deservedly'?

      BamBam has been rotten for weeks now. And, got took off after 50-odd mins last week.
      Perfectly reasonable to sell him (I did it for Antonio)

        Weeks? It's been only 3 blanks. Most players have had 3 blanks in a row at some point. Salah is on 6 atm. I don't think any good manager actually got rid of Bamford this week

    Bamford assist 🙂 let’s go

  17. Sif

    Dallas third on the bench.
    playing Stones & Cancelo pays off :p

  18. PogChamp

    No Leicester or Leeds? Group hug.

  19. el polako

    Dallas and Holding in for Cancelo and Sterling - I take that.

  21. Lev Yashin

    I very nearly captained Barnes.
    Just don't own him, that's all.

  22. matiakez

    Some few minutes to own Barnes, Dallas and Bam Bam

      9(+) point goal that also busts Justin’s CS is decent.

        Your forgetting the goal Justin will grab in the second half.
