The Numbers Game – 2014/15 Review – Leicester

Having won just four of their first 29 fixtures upon returning to the Premier League, Leicester looked prime candidates for relegation less than 12 months after clinching the Championship. A sensational about-turn in form saw the Foxes drop just four points in the remaining nine matches – with only champions Chelsea getting the better of Nigel Pearson’s side – as a late rally saw them finish the season six points clear of the drop zone.

In our latest article for members, we assess Leicester’s roster, assessing their output in terms of goal threat and creativity.

    Portugal best team in the tournament by a distance after round one. Good all over the pitch.

    1. Konig Luther
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      we don't have a stellar player, but we have a great team overall and a great bench, despite many of unknown names for other people

  4. Jafooli
    • 12 Years

    Net changes = 0pts

    The one player hardly mentioned on here prior to the first deadline that's going straight in your u21 side?

    1. Jafooli
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Good question...

    2. Nomar

      • 14 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Dunno.

      Reasonably happy with team at the moment. May swap Baselli but Petkovic not playing may be more of an issue to deal with first.

      1. mikess
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        think everyone is in the Petkovic boat

      2. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Actually, may get Kadlec instead of Fischer for next game, now that his ban is up.

        1. Jafooli
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          He a fwd or mid? How much?

          1. mikess
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            8 years, 10 months ago

            Forward 6.5

            1. Jafooli
              • 12 Years
              8 years, 10 months ago

              Berahino > Kadlec for me....

        2. mikess

          • 13 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          GLad i went with Poulsen over Fischer. Very similar they offer. Anyone interested in Sisto?

          1. Jafooli
            • 12 Years
            8 years, 10 months ago

            Very busy when he came on......and got a goal

    3. 420king
      • 9 Years

      None for me, atleast not one that's been hardly mentioned

    4. Konig Luther

          You have my condolences. Similar situation here, my dog was initially misdiagnosed with a ligament injury but it turns out it was bone cancer. It's recently had an amputation but it hasn't got long left either 🙁

    9. Jafooli
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      How much is that Swedish striker on penos?

      1. mikess
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        8

      2. Dušan Citizen
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        9.0 I think

      3. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Guidetti takes pens when on pitch. Thelin who took it today is not even on the prepared pen list, he stole it. But he is 8m and have experience from CL with Malmö, he is more of a hold up player then a pure striker

        1. Jafooli
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Yeah that's the fella...

        2. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          2nd choice is Augustinsson by the way, he said he was ok with Thelin taking it.
          Maybe today makes Thelin 2nd choice from now on and Guidetti felt something on backside of thigh so if he is out maybe Thelin will continue to hog them.
          Thelin himself has trouble with his heal but seems ok now.

    10. Tommytour
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Anyone eyeing a Leicester attacker?

      Ulloa Vardy or Mahrez likely to be in my starting line up

      1. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Vardy looks good to start off with.

        1. Tommytour
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          I fear a price hike now he's in the England squad though

          7m at a guess, the other two should be cheaper

      2. JK - Cønt ⭐
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Ulloa is possible as a 2nd striker

        1. Tommytour
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Was thinking more third

          1. JK - Cønt ⭐
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            8 years, 10 months ago

            Not sure budget will stretch

            Deeney as 3rd striker

    11. mikess
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      i thought Knudsen looked decent

    12. Somalion
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      So Ba wants to return to the Orem and Mandzukic going to Juve by the looks of it.

      1. goriuanx
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Mandzukic for 10m apparently

    13. Tommytour
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 10 months ago

      Already planning transfers lol

      Eyeing Lukaku C > Gomis/Kane GW2 🙂

      1. JK - Cønt ⭐
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Here's an idea bud, don't buy Lukaku 😛

        whilst you're at it, you can add to your name 😀

        1. Tommytour
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          Will do 😉

          Not liking the way these fixtures came out combined with Sanchez Kun Kane doubtful for gw1

          Rooney for first 3 then Kun looks a tempter too

          1. JK - Cønt ⭐
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            8 years, 10 months ago

            TBH mate I like the looks of something like

            Panti/Mannone

            Ivan, 5.5, Fuchs, Yedlin, BOU

            Ramsey, Hazard, Silva, Mane, Ritchie

            Rooney, Vardy/Ulloa, Deeney

            1. Tommytour
              • 13 Years
              8 years, 10 months ago

              That's the exact midfield I'm eyeing bar 4.5 instead of Ritchie

              I've worked out I'll have a cheaper defence and a more expensive second striker

              1. JK - Cønt ⭐
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 12 Years
                8 years, 10 months ago

                basically that looks the call

                Ivan and a mid priced striker v cheaper defender and more expensive striker

          2. JK - Cønt ⭐
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            8 years, 10 months ago

            Everton's fixtures bar GW1 are just dire and Lukaku is Lukaku, just avoid him

            1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
              • 13 Years
              8 years, 10 months ago

              Gomis ?

              1. JK - Cønt ⭐
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 12 Years
                8 years, 10 months ago

                Could be a decent option

              2. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
                • 13 Years
                8 years, 10 months ago

                Benteke . Sakho could be a decent outside bet because he could thrive under an attacking manager

                1. JK - Cønt ⭐
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 12 Years
                  8 years, 10 months ago

                  Don't rule out Diouf

                  Stoke have a nice run for the 1st 10 GWs or so

                  1. Polaris - The Mortal Coil
                    • 10 Years
                    8 years, 10 months ago

                    Guess you're not worried about Joselu then.

                    1. JK - Cønt ⭐
                      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                      • 12 Years
                      8 years, 10 months ago

                      don't see him being a starter from the off

                      Diouf finished the season with a brace v Liverpool.

                      1. Polaris - The Mortal Coil
                        • 10 Years
                        8 years, 10 months ago

                        Surely makes Mame Diouf a big risk though. Personally wouldn't touch Stoke forwards now after that signing.

                        Slightly better striker than Diouf imo.

                        1. JK - Cønt ⭐
                          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                          • 12 Years
                          8 years, 10 months ago

                          Sakho could be an option if you used say, Ritchie GW1

                          Hard to know who'll start for West Ham though and maybe Billic wants a striker

                          Much in the air with West Ham

                        2. Polaris - The Mortal Coil
                          • 10 Years
                          8 years, 10 months ago

                          Aye, all true.

                          Reckon Diouf could score well early on myself, particularly with decent fixtures. It's just that risk of Joselu that puts me off instantly.

              3. Tommytour
                • 13 Years
                8 years, 10 months ago

                Really like him

                Be a good WC GW2 option 🙂

      I don't know if this has been posted recently, but here are the pre-season friendlies for Premiership clubs. Worth a look whether you are going to one or two or just scanning for player reports.

          Yeah I reckon so

          I think that if you want an 8.5 spend on keepers from one club you're gonna have to go Watford

          NOR/BOU looks the best rotation

          could always just get Myhill?

            Schmeichel Ruddy for me then

              that is a terrible rotation

                8 years, 10 months ago

                Pretty decent fixtures and Schmeichel will be great value if 4.5

                  8 years, 10 months ago

                  but only 4 fixtures where one is at home and one is away

                  see PBJ's post below

                  Ruddy/Krul or Ruddy/BOU for me

                  Or 1 keeper every week

                    Just seen, may have a rethink but really like Schmeichel as he was getting bonus end of season

                      yeah but he's terrible for rotations

              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 12 Years
              8 years, 10 months ago

              Ruddy/Krul could be an option

          Could be 5.5 I think, he looked very useful and another good defender or even two would make him almost a must have.
          I hope he's less, it just depends where there general pricing goes this year.

            Him and Mannone combined outscored the top scoring keeper and got more saves than any other keeper.

            I do think he could be the best option, but if he's 5.5 he's out

          3. Tommytour
            • 13 Years
            8 years, 10 months ago

            5m max I reckon, he didn't finish that high on the charts.

            Still hopeful PVA is 4.5 🙂

      3. Dušan Citizen
        • 10 Years

        Who to get rid of first?

        Cancelo, Brock Madsen or Jojic?

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years

          Brock and Can. Least Jojic started

      4. Enzo the Baker
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Kane + Scholz + Frydek -> Kadlec + Djuricic + Vestegaard ? (-2)

        Knee-jerk or worth it ?

        Man City dodged an expensive bullet there imo.

          City need a home grown player to meet squad restrictions

          They've lost 3 and have been forced to give Richard Wright a new deal just to get an extra one in the squad. They only have 3 atm

            I have a feeling they can get a very decent player for under £40 mill.

              well supposedly if they get nowhere with Pogba (who would class as Home Grown) they're going to go for Delph

              But as they're desperate (and clubs know it), price goes up

                pog is no longer home grown

      7. Premier League Rotation Blocks
        Portsmouth Bubblejet
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 10 months ago

        Just like last year, I've designed a home/away FPL fixture rotation spreadsheet for each club for the new 2015-16 season. It doesn't take degree of difficulty for each match into account, and should therefore be used in combination with the FFS season ticker. The Dropbox link is below if you wish to download it.

        https://www.dropbox.com/s/uw0u12pfy53hqca/FPL%20Home%20Away%20Rotation%202015-16.xlsx?dl=0

        Unlike many European leagues, where the fixtures are divided into 2 equal halves which are reversed after the winter break, the Premier League fixture compilers have stuck to their usual practice of splitting the calendar into a number of short rotational blocks.

        During each block, the 20 clubs are split into two groups of ten teams – let’s call them Group A and Group B. For the duration of the fixture block, teams from Group A will always play against a team from Group B, but never against another team from Group A. When a new rotational block starts, the two groups are mixed up, so that each club gets the opportunity to play all 19 others home and away.

        In 2015-16, there are 10 fixture blocks of varying length. They take place in gameweeks 1-2, 3-6, 7-8, 9-13, 14-17, 18-25, 26-27, 28-32, 33-34 and 35-38.

        It is therefore the lengthiest blocks (GW 18-25) that will allow us to set up some potentially fruitful team rotations.

        The inclusion of rotation blocks of odd-numbered length (GW 9-13 & GW 28-32) means that some teams have a distinct imbalance in the number of home and away matches around this period. In other words:

        – Man City & Crystal Palace play 5 out of 7 matches at home between GW 8 & GW 14

        – Man United & Stoke play 5 out of 7 matches away between GW 8 & GW 14

        – Liverpool & West Ham play 5 out of 7 matches at home in gameweeks 27-33

        – Chelsea & Everton play 5 out of 7 matches away in gameweeks 27-33

        Each club has one team with whom they always rotate. Some pairs are allocated due to close geographical proximity, which might cause policing problems, but others are allocated in order to avoid clashes in other tiers of the English football pyramid.

        Here are the main home/away rotational patterns for each Premier League club.

          • 11 Years
          8 years, 10 months ago

          I'm not sure they bottled anything. They created loads of chances but it just was one of those nights, plus he fact they came up against a team that was, for my money, the best of the tournament so far...I actually thought England did ok but forgot their shooting boots.

          Portugal to win the whole thing?

              I can't see anybody better...Can and Volland looked good for Germany and Portugal looked the best as a team. Those have been about the best highlights for me so far...Oh and that great big Danish defender, he's was a handful as well.

        So, who is this Deeney guy and why do so many people seem to like him as a pick?

          He's the new Kane!
          He's Fixture-proof!
          He's Cheap!
          He's an enabler!
          Jk wants him!

        Watford's striker and no idea considering Watford have difficult fixtures or are playing defensively solid sides like WBA and SOT.

          Thanks. Shame, a good cheap third striker is a priority for the new season...

          'SOT's solid defence' was not that solid anymore after Forster's injury, check the stats. If Clyne leaves for the unproven Soares, I expect them to get fewer cs as well.

          Not much of a golf person, but just done some bets in play

          Spieth £50 @ 7/1
          Stenson £25 @ 6/1
          Mickelson £10 @ 16/1
          Cabrera £10 @ 150/1
          Campbell £5 @150/1

          All to win outright, any golf experts fancy my chances ?

            My God that is way too much money to gamble with.
            Stenson is your best shout.

                It's a 4 day event so I don't mind, works out 25 a day with lots of hours of entertainment for money, yep Stenson looking good because his already finished today and conditions are getting worse

                  You watching it? I made a lot of money last year, but on football.

                      Yep just turned it on, I only bet seriously on football, just bet on things like this when I'm bored, with football I've learned it's best to stick to just a double or treble, usually 2 home teams, both odds on, big stake double, trick is not to be greedy and forget all about accumulators

                        Oh really? I only do accumulators. Aiming for big money this year.

                            With accumulators there is always one team that let's you down, I'm going to try first goalscorer trixies this season week in week out with Aguero Costa Benteke, did it years ago it was great in the Henry Van Nistelrooy Larsson days, you only need 2 for a slight profit with all 3 your laughing
