Leicester City: Which players to put in your FPL team
By Jake Raynes
Which Leicester City players should you possibly select for your FPL team? @FplFoxy aka Jake Raynes chooses his three best options for Foxes of Leicester.
Leicester are having a tremendous season in the Premier League form and their continued success probably justifies selecting a few Foxes in your fantasy side. With this in mind, let’s take a look at Leicester’s top three Fantasy assets that you should consider bringing in to your starting eleven.
Harvey Barnes of Leicester city
At £6.9 million Barnes represents a cheap avenue into the Leicester attack and with ten goal contributions this season (seven goals and three assists) Harvey is on track to post his best attacking numbers in his short Leicester career.
Barnes is one of the most exciting players to watch under Rodgers, his direct running and blistering pace can be devastating, the young winger did have some questions around his finishing which I the stats would suggest has improved this campaign. Barnes has accumulated an expected goals (xG) rating of 4.89 this season meaning he has actually over performed when it comes to converting the chances that have fell to him this season.
The return of Jamie Vardy should help Barnes who has developed a good relationship with the veteran striker and likes to play in the space Vardy creates. Fantasy managers who are looking to save some of their budget would be wise to consider Barnes for their fourth or even fifth midfield slot.
