1/11

First some stats from last season:

Starting price: 6m
Projected new price: 6.5m-7.0m
Position: LW/LFW

36 games played with:
6 goals

8 assists

, same as Salah and Mane

24 times in the first squad, 12 times coming from the bench.

2/11

His link up with Jamie Vardy is the thing we deffinetely should keep an eye on. 5 from his 8 assists gave Vardy goals. Only Adama Traore gave more goals to his teammate Raul Jimenez (7).

3/11

Harvey's main strengths are definetely pace, vision and ease of taking shots. The main thing to admit it's that he didn't got so many minutes from the beggining of campaign. He became a rising star and we were discovering his potential throughout the season.

4/11

Also there were tactical reasons that provoked Brendan Rodgers to bench his best winger in couple of games. In theoretically toughter games Rodgers often decided to play 4-2-3-1 with 2 DMs, which made no place for talented Englishman. Also because of his superb pace..

5/11

..Rodgers prefered him to come off the bench to duel tired defenders in some games. And that's not so bad even in terms of FPL. In home game against Crystal Palace Barnes managed to produce 2 assist while being on the pitch for only 15 minutes

But even so, we as FPL players rather prefer to avoid players who`s getting benched. Personally I`m pretty sure Barnes will be nailed starter for every PL game if not injured or suspended. And here`s why. Leicester City desperately needs quality wingers. The left wing is..

7/11

..dedicated to Barnes who`s one of them. He didn`t start in couple of games because of reasons I mentioned above so mainly tactical changes and the fact that hardly no-one realized his potential. Demarai Gray and Marc Albrighton are not threat for him. The first one is..

8/11

..regular sub, Albrighton has his best years behind him and both are right wingers. The club is interested in Said Benrahma who also plays left side but even so Barnes could easily manage to play right wing with his superb right foot if necessary.

9/11

The only threat for Barnes to not start in every game might be further pointless tactical changes which Rodgers like to make. Nevertheless I truly hope he learned a lot from games he decided to play 2 DMs and Foxes didn`t manage to score even one..

10/11

To sum up: Barnes is real future of Leicester City and will be good budget FPL asset who`ll bring us big amount of points.

Peace
