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.

    So turns out Robertson used his knowledge about Mane being out for his FPL team.

    With some horrible unlucky gameweeks with 7 blank Salah catain, 8 players removed from DGW 19, I finally get a break with Rap + Bam + Dallas

      • 7 Years

    I took a hit to get Cancelo for Alioski. On the other hand Vardy to DCL saved Bamford fromthe axe.

  12. Mika-eel
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Kane out really made saved my game week, as it was either Bamford or Wilson out for DCL.

    1. svasei - Up (?) the Rovers
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I see we share an experience this GW. I'm sure a lot of managers was saved in some way by Kane/Vardy.

      1. Mika-eel
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        That's very true. Hopefully Kane is not injured for too long. Cant wait to get him back.

  13. REDMOND IN SANDALS

    Bamford 12 pointer with Wilson 13 pointer while I thought I had the worst attack in my ML. Fpl in a nutsell

    1. ivantys
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      They are still the highest 2 6m+ scorers no matter how bad they were recently.

      1. Pat Bonner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Whole point of fpl is getting on and off players depending on form. You should just make a team of highest scoring players

        1. Rupert The Horse
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Point well made.

        2. ivantys
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          I agree with that, but I won't do a -4 to get rid of them at any time.

    2. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Wonderful.

  16. AC Yew

    Almost took a hit to bring in Mane. Praise the Lord

    1. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      What does Lundstram have to do with it?

    2. REDMOND IN SANDALS
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Soucek >> Mane for -4 was tempting but somehow I resisted that thought

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

    Why has Bamford been absolutely rubbish for weeks, and turns it one now.

    I'm getting a bit peeved off at the timing of transfers now.

    1. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Wilson doing the same yesterday! One of those weeks

    2. thegaffer82
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Same for me. The anti-Midas touch I think it’s called

    3. Kellz86
      • 6 Years

      It’s always been the long game in FPL

  18. Pukki Blinders

    Lesson learned here... Think we should all be watching Andy Robertson’s fpl team every week to give us clues

    1. MagicMessi
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      How you'll know his transfer before deadline smart man ?

  19. Pat Bonner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    It’s not worth working out how much your transfers have cost you is it!!

    1. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Don't do it for sanity.

    2. TomSaints
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

    Bam Bam Bigelow strikes!

  21. Revival

    Bamford first sub stuck on my bench but Dallas coming on as 2nd sub for Mitchell.

  22. Tsparkes10
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Bamford, Martinez and Dallas benched... but atleast I have Coufal off my bench lmao :p

    1. Meinhoff
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      So you put Coufal first on bench before Bambi? You deserve negative points for that move

      1. Tsparkes10
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Nope. 3 at the back 🙂 put him over Dallas by mistake... owel

  23. Garfield1001
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Anybody else benched bamford and not coming on?

    1. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I made early transfer (-4) and sold him for Kane.

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

      Sold him as he's been rubbish.

      Brought in a blanker and all of a sudden Bamford decides he wants to start playing?

      Rivals getting Wilson & Dallas off the bench. Ridiculous.

    3. fish&chips
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Me. Put ESR in front of him. Poor decision in hindsight

    4. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

    5. Van der Faart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

    Pep saved my GW by not starting or subbing in Sterling.

  27. Rainer
    • 7 Years

    Bamford only getting 12 here will feel like a fail.

    LOL. Fred said he wanted to see Bamford score just as he finds out that Mane ain't in the team.

    Wish granted!
