Assessing Shakespeare’s Leicester City

2,260 Comments
Share

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.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    Morning fellow DZers. I just built an experimental chatbot I want to share. Hopefully other fantasy football nuts find it useful. (Warning- It's a beta, quite a dumb bot overall and still rough around the edges).

    Telegram - https://telegram.me/SportsFantasyBot
    FB messenger - https://www.messenger.com/t/347322708997703

    It looks at your mini league and, at the start of the gw, gives you a list of everyones line-ups and transfers made the past week (and soon, the differentials between the teams) - aim for me was to reduce the constant checking in on all my rivals teams every few seconds while the games are on.

    If it's useful to you, let me know and I'll keep it going/ keep improving it!

                Nice one.

                Only thing you need to do is say something to the bot, say 'set' so that you can paste in your minileague URL and then yeah, we wait until the GW starts.

                I couldn't think of any notifications to send between gameweeks that wouldn't annoy me, so bot will stay quiet until then

    Heaton Randolph

    Mané Alli Siggy Sterling Antonio*
    Lukaku Ibrahimovic* Barnes

    1 FT, 0.7 itb

    I've already played wildcard so that's why I kept Ibra. I'll obviously have to get rid of Coleman and Antonio. I want Sanchez but it requires a -8 which I wouldn't be against doing.

    Who should I get rid of to fund Alexis; Mané or Sterling?

        Not too sure. It's nine gameweeks. That's an average of 15 points closed in every week, which is enormous. I'll have to get mostly players he doesn't have.

        It doesn't mean getting Leicester players is correct, but surely I can't have the same big hitters

          That's a huge lead I'm afraid. I'd definitely go D and captain. Very worthwhile pick this week. Try to get 5-6 picks for DGW 34 since he'll try and go without too many of them. Aim to get 60 points back by the time you WC. I think 60-70 in the last couple is still incredibly hard but doable.

        Me neither. But he is kind of on form, and he is pretty explosive too. It's a high variance move, but could work out for a couple of weeks. Not that many enticing alternatives at the price tbh, when the rival has Alli and Mane (already have Eriksen). Especially with Hazard out injured

    Got myself a massive benching headache. I've got to bench one from this lot. I'm looking at potentially benching Walker considering Spurs' (perhaps surprising) cleansheet record on the road this season, although he does have attacking threat.

    Walker - Spurs only have on cleansheet (Sunderland) in their last eight away matches and only three away clean sheets all season. He does however have attacking potential.

    Valencia - Could get rested but if not has a great fixture.

    Cedric - Good fixture and good attacking stats.

    Mane - Decent home fixture but the Liverpool may miss Lallana badly as he seems central to most things they do and starting attacks.

    King - Great form. Seems involved in most things that Bournemouth do recently.

    Lukaku - Great form but most of this is at Goodison. Away from home Everton don't always seem to do great against the bigger teams, whereas Liverpool are actually not too bad defensively at home to bigger teams.

    Any thoughts?

      I'm facing the same dilemma. Would love to get chambers at 4.3, but no idea when he will be fit. Worried that Fabio maybe dropped when the other Mid defenders get fit. Gibson is probably the only safe option at the moment, but I hate the idea of spending 4.9m on a defender from a rubbish team that I would not start every week.

    Draft Fantasy league, any ideas with this team?

    Heaton / Pickford
    Olsson / Fuchs / Matip / Baines / Maguire
    Hazard / Pedro / Firmino / Mkhi / Lanzini
    Costa / Son / Gabbi

    If theres an area I should look at suggest a team, ill see what players I can pick up for free.

      Hard to say when we don't know what players are available. I'd look to ditch one of your Chelsea attackers soon as they start to grind the 1-0s

        Basically content with STs for now, Son may go later on. Pedro and maybe Lanzini worth the drop. GKs are fine I think, defense is where I can improve depending on available players

      Tadic is a great pick imo but why would you want to sell Pedro he is diffish and has a nice fixture
      Dump Brunt but i am not sold on Leicesters defense tbh

        Good analysis. The here is the rest of my front 8
        Sanchez, Mane, Siggy, King
        Kun Kaku Llorente

        Do you recommend any to ship out instead of Pedro?

          This would not be everyone's cup of tea but i personally would sell Mane for him

      He's still their best attacking midfielder I'd say so I can't see Puel dropping him completely
