Assessing Shakespeare’s Leicester City

Leicester City’s decision to part company with Claudio Ranieri back in late February came in for some harsh criticism at the time yet the impact under Craig Shakespeare has forced a sharp reassessment of the Foxes’ potential.

Four straight wins in all competitions, scoring three times in their trio of Premier League matches since the Italian left the King Power Stadium, bodes well ahead of back-to-back home encounters with Stoke and Sunderland and a trip to Crystal Palace in the next four rounds of fixtures.

With that in mind, we take a look at the Foxes’ displays since Ranieri was relieved of his duties as Fantasy Premier League managers consider a short-term move for their in-form assets.

    having firmino/mane/coutinho may be a nightmare if we don't go crazy ..

    coutinho to tadic/Alli worth a hit ?

      very tempted but costa is fine so no chance to get him this week for me

    3. Individual
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah I am really tempted for the next 2, might be a punt I'll have to take to try to make up some ground, at least this week

  3. q8mans

    Mignolet - Grant
    Alonso - Walker - Baines - A.Smith - Chambers
    Mane - Sterling - Siggy - King - Philips
    Lukaku - Aguero - Carroll

    ITB: .5
    FT: 2

    I am willing to make two transfers this gw:
    Lukaku -> Vardy or Costa
    Aguero -> Deeney or Defoe

    Pick two, pls.

    1. Hy liverpool
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Aguero to costa and sterling to alli

  4. The Mighty Whites
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    1FT, 0.9 ITB

    Valdes - Jakupovic

    Coleman* - David Luiz - McAuley - Holebas - Naughton

    Mane - Sigurdsson - Pedro - Snodgrass - de Roon

    Aguero - Lukaku - Defoe

    Coleman to Valencia?

    1. Hy liverpool
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      or walker ...

      1. The Mighty Whites
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Would you not go Valencia for the DGW ?

        1. Hy liverpool
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          i prefer valencia but walker is tempting tbh

    2. Individual
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah, Coleman to Valencia. Boring but join the herd - perhaps should've done it last night but tbh price rises don't matter too much now!

    Did anyone else get membership on Triggerlips site this season? I don't think there was any membership articles uploaded apart from the first couple of weeks and for the second season running he's miles behind me. I like his site and articles a lot though, I just don't think there should be a paywall going forward

    1. Numb
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      You should ask for your money back

      1. Godot - Fashanu Zealand
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        I do enjoy his articles a lot, it's a little annoying looking back I have to say. I don't think I'll be repeating the same mistake.

    2. Rhinos
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I wouldn't pay him a penny but gl if others wanna

    3. Individual
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I did, just because, like with these guys and also Always Cheating, I don't mind giving back if I use what they produce and enjoy it 🙂 didn't care too much what the content was that was paywalled, nothing really memorable

      1. Godot - Fashanu Zealand
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        I wouldn't mind a once off payment myself either because I read his articles frequently. I just feel like I've been misled a bit, the site is not much different from this time last year and I thought he was going to ramp up his content.

        1. Individual
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Think he was ill and what have you, plus you were effectively paying for his ebook (which was good) rather than a full on member's thing, tho I do have a vague memory of him trying to do some members only content. But the ebook was the "purchase" rather than a subscription, which was like a byproduct of buying the ebook

          At the end of the day it's just him so I can't blame him for not putting the effort in to revamp if other things are going on! And I think he knows what he's talking about so I'm happy to contribute.

          1. Godot - Fashanu Zealand
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            Well that's true as well. I have to hold my hands up and admit that I didn't read the ebook, so maybe I'll give that shot during the summer and see if it's beneficial.

            I like his content a lot, though he should really stop putting faith in Dejan Lovren so much (and I'm a Liverpool fan). I would have no problem paying a small once off for the content that he currently produces. I'm just a little peeved that I was misled and now it appears there is no membership section at all on the site. Others that restrained from paying are getting the same articles as me for free. The question is, would you pay for a second ebook?

  6. Botman and Robben

    Hi all,

    Did Daniels->Valencia yesterday with my 1 FT.

    Current lineup GW 30:

    Grant
    Pieters / Azpili / Valencia
    Mane / Coutinho / Siggy / Eriksen
    Costa* / Llorente / Lukaku

    Foster / T Carroll / McAuley / Williams

    Question A: Play Pieters or the MC

    Question B: Which is better for the next GW:

    1. Costa-> Ibra
    2. Mane -> Sanchez
    3. T Carroll -> King

    1. Individual
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      A) MC
      B) 2, King awful fixtures, I'd keep Costa

      1. Botman and Robben

    Anyone else fielding a truly fugly squad this week?

    Transitioning out of blank friendly squad makeup. Will all be solved come midweek but still, looks such a bad team atm!

    Jaku
    Alonso Valencia Coleman Pieters / RFM
    Mane Siggy Eriksen / Fletcher Antonio
    Vardy © Kaku Llorente

    Did Vardy in for Kun so I can do Sanchez in for Antonio midweek, plus probably Yoshi for RFM. But it's so damn ugly lol

  8. AFC49
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    A.) Brunt > Walker (-4)
    B.) Play Pieters (LEI A)
    C.) Play Brunt (MUN A)

    1. Moves like Dejagah
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Play Brunt.

    2. Rhinos
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I'd play brunt. Has good fixtures after this. Hard to see Walker letting you down long term though

    3. Individual
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Play Brunt. I am. Could finally get an assist (also have Valencia in the game so kinda hope for a 0-0 lol)

  9. Moves like Dejagah
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Does anyone know the likely dates for the Arsenal double gameweek?

    1. Eze Really?

      35 or 36 + 37.

      1. Moves like Dejagah

        Cheers

  10. FPL Footy Show Pod

    Should I do Llorente to Vardy?

    1. Feed tha Sheep
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Llorente has a nice fixture too though..I would prob wait

    2. Individual
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      If you have Siggy too I'd be considering it

  11. Feed tha Sheep
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Don't have a Chelsea def (don't know why) so thinking of bringing in Alonso this week or is Walker a better shout?

    1. Moves like Dejagah
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Alonso ahead of any other defender, he's basically a winger.

      1. Feed tha Sheep
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Was thinking that but everyone is going on about walker (prob because they already have Alonso mind you)

    2. Numb
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Alonso probably. I imagine that the vast majority of people getting Walker already have the Chelsea flyer.

    3. Individual
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I've had Alonso in for ages. As others have said, you're basically covering the Chelsea midfield with a defensive slot. Perfect

  12. MOULACTICOS
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Opinion Guys:

    Will Vardy get more points over the next two gameweeks then Costa? Should i do Costa -> Vardy for two gameweeks and bring Costa back with WC?

    Strikers at the moment are Llroente, Lukaku and Costa

    Thanks

    1. Individual
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Nah, that's not worth it - if you'd said Vardy and Aguero you'd have more of a decision to make, but if you have Costa captain Costa!

    2. Feed tha Sheep
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Not worth it IMO

  13. 1justlookin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Is everyone keeping Siggy? Thinking of shipping him out to get alexis for the midweek games. Its either him or Mane but Mane has a decent home fixture. :-/

    1. Individual
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Yep i had the same issue mate - I've gone the "long way round" and will remove Kun for Vardy this week to free up the cash to allow me to keep Siggy. Really want to keep him for the run in as far as possible, is just so consistent

  14. 1justlookin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Who to bring in for Coleman?
    Already have Alonso so either Valencia or TOT defender.

    Whats your thoughts guys?

    1. King Henrik
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Tony Valencia

    2. Individual
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Valencia is the no brainer.

    3. McQueen
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Walker - great fixtures. No Eu games anymore. Man U busy schedule.

  15. King Henrik
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    If you had to choose one ?

    Lukaku
    or
    Morata

    #officedispute

    1. Individual
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Kaku, but that's because I haven't seen Morata play.

    2. nkhoughton
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Morata

  16. joersherman
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Start
    A) Markovic
    B) Baines

    Could do Markovic > Redmond for a hit but could move to tadic next week

    1. Individual
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Baines - nbnc (never bench, never captain)

      I'd fancy Redmond tbh, but since you're benching Marko anyway might as well do Tadic next week.

  17. Lizom
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    GTG?

    Jaku
    Walker Alonso Valencia Mawson
    Alli Siggy Lanzini
    Aguero Lukaku (c) Costa

    Heaton King T.Carroll Holgate

    1. Individual
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Yep. Good luck with the captain choice!! I just hate the early one so I'm looking elsewhere

      1. Lizom
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers! I know, but Im playing it safe, not chasing in my ML and Lukaku is probably C in most of my friends squads.

        Quite fancy Aguero as captain, a real differential in my ML

    2. LC1
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Nice, captain Kun!

  18. No Pirlo No Party
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Heaton
    Alonso - Cedric - Valencia - McAuley
    Alli - Mane - Sigurdsson - King
    Llorente - Lukaku

    (Pickford - Amat - Antonio - Anichebe) - 1 FT - £6.7 ITB - WC and all chips intact

    A) Antonio --> Sanchez
    B) McAuley --> Walker
    C) Anichebe/Llorente --> Vardy

    1. Individual
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Great squad.
      Be tempted to roll the dice on Vardy, but Sanchez for Antonio needs to be the priority. Can you still do it if you bring in Vardy?

      1. No Pirlo No Party
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Unfortunately not.
        Sanchez is the move I was going to make and sets me up for the coming weeks and doubles.

        Defence and forwards can be sorted on WC. Plus at the moment not a lot of forwards appeal to me.

        1. Individual
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Yeah I'd absolutely go along with that, especially or an ft. I want to do the same swap, but have had to drop kun for Vardy to pay for it for midweek!

          1. No Pirlo No Party
            • 14 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            I will still be able to do the Walker move next week. I will have a lot invested in defence though, not the best team structure.

            Aguero isn't worth his price tag this season. Vardy is a good pick especially if he enables Sanchez midweek.

  19. doraandy219
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Jaku (Valdes)
    Walker, Alonso, McAuley, (Williams), (Love)
    Alli, Sanchez, Siggy, Lanzini, (Clayton)
    Lukaku, Costa, Lorente

    0 FT.
    0.6 ITB

    Is that good enough? Or should I take a hit? And who?
    Leading 75 in ML, but rivals have Aguero.
    Thinking to cap Alonso or should cap Alli/Siggy?

    Thanks.

      Mawson/Walker?

    2. McQueen

      Walker/Valencia and Alli as a big difference maker. Depending on your budget of course.

      1. xtremesid

    Used my free to do Coleman to Valencia but still have 2.7m itb and no wildcard so starting to get ready for DGWs.

    Is now a good week to do McAuley to Walker for -4 and play instead of Caroll?

    Heaton
    Tony V Alonso Mawson
    Sanchez Mane (c) Alli Siggy
    Lukaku Llorente Carroll

    Jaku T.Davies Pieters McAuley

      G2G, don't think you need to take the hit with Carroll playing Hull.

  23. Smoky Johnson

    Who else is going Alli + Eriksen next week? o/

    1. The Wizard of Ozil
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Me. Not sure who to ditch for him (Alli) but it's a must for me.

      1. Smoky Johnson
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Im doing Aguero + Sterling + Mané > Ibra + Sanchez + Alli

  24. diesel001
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Everton back five basically nailed now:

    Robles
    Holgate Jagielka Williams Baines

    They can't afford injuries to those guys with Coleman and Funes Mori both out.

    1. Karan14
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Tempted to get Holgate in as an enabler for Ibra & Sanchez. Has a couple of plum home fixtures soon.

    2. A.T
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I wouldn't say Holgate is nailed yet. Well have to wait and see. He may get the nod v Liverpool but if he doesn't perform could easily be dropped for the next game.

      1. diesel001
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        If that is the case then Everton are screwed with only Pennington and Garbutt as back up. They will go ultra defensive which is not good news for Lukaku.

        1. A.T
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Pennington is decent by all accounts. Garbutt won't feature but they've got Kenny too at RB. I would've expected Kenny to start but being as it is the derby next, then Utd you'd have to wonder if he'd get thrown in for that. It's very much up in the air imo.

  25. Sickboy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    All 4 of Aguero's double digit hauls have been away from home.

    Playing against an Arsenal defence who are poor at best.

    City pushing hard for a top four finish after being knocked out of the champions league.

    Decent underlying stats for a player with proven quality.

    Captain material surely?

    1. nkhoughton
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I dunno, only if no stand out options

    2. A.T

      Same. Bring back the internationals

    2. La Roja
      • 12 Years

      You may need to take a sabbatical leave next season

  27. The Wizard of Ozil
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Really want Vardy this week for obvious reasons, I have Costa and Lukaku and can't afford to go Barnes to Vardy. Would any of you guys do Costa or Lukaku to Vardy?

    1. Slartibartfast
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Tempted, but I'm saving the FT. Of the two, I'd shift Cost, but he's going to be a popular captain choice this weekend.

      Doing it could put you ahead of the curve, or massively bite you on the @rse...

    2. A.T

      No

    3. The Wizard of Ozil
