Vardy party continues ahead of even kinder fixture run

Leicester City 2-0 Arsenal

Goals: Jamie Vardy (£9.5m), James Maddison (£7.4m)

Assists: Youri Tielemans (£6.6m), Vardy

Bonus Points: Vardy x3, Çaglar Söyüncü x2 (£4.8m), Ricardo Pereira x1 (£6.3m), Maddison x1

Goals from Jamie Vardy (£9.5m) and James Maddison (£7.4m) helped take Leicester City to second in the league and the pair ever further into the hearts and minds of Fantasy Premier League managers worldwide.

Since losing, narrowly and unluckily, at Liverpool in Gameweek 8, the Foxes have become something of an irresistible force, so it felt almost inevitable they would sweep aside an Arsenal team far from being an immovable object at present.

The only surprise was that it took Brendan Rodgers’ men nearly 70 minutes to find a way past Gunners goalkeeper Bernd Leno (£5.0m).

When they did, it was with a slick team goal to warm many a Fantasy heart, involving four of the side’s most owned players.

Tielamsn provided the assist for Vardy’s goal against Arsenal

Maddison and Ricardo Pereira (£6.3m) exchanged passes on the right, allowing Youri Tielemans (£6.6m) to burst into the box and centre for Vardy to guide the ball home.

Of the quartet, only Tielemans (9.4%) does not have double-digit ownership in Fantasy Premier League (FPL), and that is surely only a matter of time.

The Belgian has two goals and as many assists from the last four Gameweeks and shared top billing with Maddison for both attempts and chances created against Arsenal. His £6.6m price tag makes him slightly better value than his midfield partner, although Maddison edges it for overall points scored, by 62 to 57.

The England man notched his second goal in three Gameweeks to secure the win against the Gunners, rifling home from the edge of the area following Vardy’s lay-off. Only Liverpool and Manchester City players are now ahead of him in FPL’s midfield scoring charts, with all four of them considerably more expensive.

Maddison and Vardy have both offered great value in recent weeks

As for the game’s highest overall scorer, it’s… Jamie Vardy.

He has 11 goals for the season, eight of which have come in the last five Gameweeks, and two of his three assists this campaign have arrived since Gameweek 10.

Much has been made of the striker’s relatively low shot total. He’s had 25 attempts – a figure matched or bettered by 13 other forwards – but delve a little deeper and you’ll find only three have had more big chances than his 12 this season.

Add Vardy’s clinical finishing to Leicester’s dynamism and creativity and 92 FPL points are the result.

Rodgers was understandably happy to praise his striker after the match.

“He is up there with the very, very top strikers in European football with what he brings to a team, his pressing. We’ve allowed him to do essentially what he wants to do – he’s so honest, he’d press the whole back four if he could.” – Brendan Rodgers

Pereira has been unfortunate not to get more attacking returns of late

The Foxes will face Brighton (minus Lewis Dunk (£4.6m)), Everton, Watford, Aston Villa and Norwich after the international break. Little wonder, then, that seven of the top 20 most bought players heading into Gameweek 13 (a full fortnight away) are from Leicester.

And the 21st is Pereira.

The wing-back, at £6.3m, is the most expensive route into a defence that’s kept three consecutive clean sheets and now leads the way for both shut-outs (five) and goals conceded (eight).

Pereira’s offensive threat is the reason for his lofty price tag, although he’s only produced attacking returns (two goals) in two matches this season having proved rather unfortunate.

He did earn a bonus point against Arsenal, but there are cheaper and equally cheerful alternatives to be had.

Söyüncü has been offering Fantasy managers great value in defence

Top of that particular shop is Çaglar Söyüncü (£4.8m), who has been outstanding over the last three Gameweeks, providing three clean sheets, a goal and five bonus points, two of which came on Saturday.

On another day, he could have been on for a second assist of the season when he was blatantly fouled in the box by Matteo Guendouzi (£4.7m), only for VAR to turn a blind eye based on an arguable offside call involving Maddison.

As a result, he’s ‘just’ produced the 28 points since Gameweek 10 and it is no shock to see him behind only Vardy and Maddison for transfers-in among Leicester players.

Chilwell has failed to replicate the dizzy heights of his double-figure haul at Southampton

Another defender gaining owners is Ben Chilwell (£5.7m), who brought in a monster 19-point haul in the 9-0 drubbing of Southampton in Gameweek 10 and was half a post away from scoring again last week against Crystal Palace.

He’s more than doubled his ownership, to 11.6%, in a fortnight, but was unusually quiet against the Gunners, creating just the one chance and having no goal attempts whatsoever.

Still, with those fixtures to come, owning Leicester players across the pitch, from the ever-reliable Kasper Schmeichel (£5.2m), whose 52 points has him joint-top of the goalkeeper standings, all the way through to Vardy up top, looks like an absolute no-brainer.

And such is their form at present, even a nasty Christmas double-header of Manchester City away and Liverpool at home doesn’t look beyond them, particularly as the fixtures that follow are set fair again until Gameweek 25 on the dim and distant date of February 1.

Arsenal increasingly look like a no-fly zone for Fantasy managers

As for Arsenal, they’re currently doing a fine impression of an unsettled team full of players shorn of confidence under a manager with an increasingly tenuous grip on his job. Which is, of course, precisely where they’re at.

None of that makes for rich Fantasy pickings.

Leicester fired in 19 shots, to the Gunners’ eight, on Saturday, with seven on target to Arsenal’s one.

None of that was anything new as only Villa and Norwich have allowed more attempts than the 197 conceded by Unai Emery’s side this season.

If save points are your thing, then Leno is your man. The keeper has made a league-leading 49 stops, which is seven clear of his closest rival, Bournemouth’s Aaron Ramsdale (£4.6m).

Unai Emery switched to a three-man defence for the first time this season

Emery tried to address that by switching to a back three at the King Power Stadium, with Rob Holding (£4.5m) handed a first start of the season alongside David Luiz (£5.8m) and Callum Chambers (£4.4m) at centre-half.

It didn’t work.

Arsenal were overwhelmed by Leicester’s high press, which forced them to cough up the ball in their own half time and again during a relentlessly dismal first period from the visitors.

They were at least more composed and cohesive as a defensive unit after the interval, a vague positive that Emery was keen to stress post-match.

“I know we are receiving criticism, but I have done before and I have recovered. I accept all the criticism. It is normal. Today we did one step ahead being better defensively.” – Unai Emery

Arsenal’s premium forwards have largely let their owners down of late

And things could have been so different, had Alexandre Lacazette (£9.3m) not missed a golden chance from six yards out.

The striker does have the makings of a real differential punt in the short term as the Gunners’ next four fixtures involve Southampton and Brighton at home and trips to Norwich and West Ham.

But the 1.7%-owned Frenchman is yet to score since returning from injury in Gameweek 9 and it showed when he fluffed his one big line on Saturday.

Fellow forward Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£11.0m) has eight goals to his name this season, but only one in the last five Gameweeks, Lacazette having started three of those matches.

The Gabonese international was kept to only one shot at Leicester, while having another one, which found the net, correctly ruled out for offside.

Özil has started getting back into the Arsenal team

Behind them – in every sense of the word – came Mesut Özil (£7.2m).

The midfielder was drafted in by 1,870 managers hoping he might sprinkle his mercurial dust over the fixture. What they got was one chance created and zero shots from 90 minutes of something far removed from the notion of good, honest toil.

Emery allowed the speedier and more direct threat provided by Nicolas Pépé (£9.2m) just 13 minutes against Leicester, but neither he, nor Özil, nor any Arsenal midfielder, in fact, deserves much Fantasy attention at present.

Arsenal usually find a way to score however wretched their form might be. They’ve now blanked twice in four Gameweeks and that’s as damning as the evidence gets for those – and there are now many – who want Emery out as soon as possible.

The manager is well aware of his perilous situation.

“We need to recover our confidence. We need to be patient with some circumstances, and we are going to do that.” Unai Emery

Patience is a commodity valued by Arsenal’s board, but it must be wearing very thin at present. It’s certainly even thinner among Fantasy managers as the side’s most popular asset – the 25.6%-owned Aubameyang – is already experiencing significant sales for Gameweek 13.

Even those tasty fixtures don’t look like saving him as Fantasy heads continue to be turned, quite rightly, by the riches on offer at Leicester.

Leicester City XI (4-1-4-1): Schmeichel; Chilwell, Söyüncü, Evans, R Pereira; Ndidi; H Barnes (Praet 74′), Maddison, Tielemans, Pérez (D Gray 60′); Vardy.

Arsenal XI (3-4-1-2): Leno; Holding (Pépé 77′), D Luiz, Chambers; Kolašinac, Guendouzi, Torreira (Willock 80′), Bellerín; Özil; Aubameyang, Lacazette.

    Thoughts on Ward-Prowse as a nice differential for the next several weeks?

    1. The_Fish
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Too many great value mids to go for him.

  2. More Cowbell

    Cantwell > Tielemans

    Current squad:
    Pope heaton
    Rico Robbo Lundstram Soy tomori

    1. The_Fish
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      I’m undecided if I should drop Sterling, but those are excellent moves if you are going to do it.

  3. ItOnlyTook9Years
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Wow, just seen Ryan got 7 points and max bonus in a 3-1 loss, great fpl keeper

    1. Duffy Dunk
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      If I remember correctly, Gross got 3 bonus in another defeat at MUN by just blanking, in a previous season.

    2. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      So glad I traded him out for Gazzaniga this week, ugh.

    Anyone know why mendy didn’t play today I heard it was tactical but that sound like a load of bs?

    A) Diop/Dunk > Robbo
    B) WC

    1 FT - 3.1 ITB

    Ryan - Heaton*
    Söyüncü - Dunk* - Lundstram - Diop - Rico
    Mané - Sterling - KDB - Mount - Cantwell
    Vardy - Tammy - Greenwood

  7. The_Fish
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Sterling and Rico to Martial and Robbo?

    Downside is it would give me a benching headache in defence.

    1. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      I assume this is for a defensive double up? Not sure it's worth the headache tbh.

      1. The_Fish
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah I’ve got Trent and Salah. 3rd spot is a headache

        1. waldo666
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          It may be to my detriment but think I'm just going forward with two pool assets (Salah and TAA).

  8. waldo666
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Wish I had of just done it this week but all things being equal through the IB how do these moves sound for free?

    Sterling and Pukki to Martial and Vardy

    1. The_Fish
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Vardy is a must now so that part is great. Undecided on Sterling.

      1. ItOnlyTook9Years
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        He's too much for a player that is hard to captain with any confidence

        1. The_Fish
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Who do you captain with confidence?

          Sterling could have easily returned today. He was City’s best player by a mile.

          1. ItOnlyTook9Years
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 4 months ago

            He blanks too often

          2. waldo666
            • 13 Years
            4 years, 4 months ago

            That's the other thing, I'm losing confidence in him as a captain option. Have Salah and plan to get Martial and Vardy all of whom I would slap the armband on.

      2. waldo666
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        I was undecided on Sterling too but another blank albeit against Liverpool has sealed his fate, I reckon. KDB probably the only other viable make weight.

  9. HD7
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Have TAA Robbo Mane

    Should I keep them or TAA Salah Mane is better?

    Gazza
    TAA Lund Robbo
    Mane Mount KDB Maddy
    Abraham Jimenez Vardy

    Subs: Button, Rico, Willems, Hayden

    1.3M ITB

    Save a transfer and Robbo KDB to Soyuncu/Chilwell Salah after one GW?

    1. The_Fish
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      I’d keep them.

  10. Iceball
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    A) Sterling to Mane ( have Salah)
    B) Sterling and Greenwood to Martial and Jimenez-4
    Will be playing both Rico and Lundstram if not B

  11. andres
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    would you upgrade tielemans to maddison? or a waste of transfer?

    Next gw would see if i get a 3rd pool or pulisic..

    Pope
    TAA Soy Lund
    Mane KDB Mount tielemans
    Abraham Vardy jimenez

    Pieters, Cantwell, Kelly 4.7 ITB 1 FT

    1. The_Fish
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      I have Maddison but next gw it could easily be Tielemans getting the points.

      Might be a good move, might cost you points next week.

      1. andres
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Would you do the trade though? 🙂

        1. The_Fish
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          It’s not so black and white as that.

          I’m often quite conservative and stubborn so I probably wouldn’t. Doesn’t make it the right decision though.

          1. The_Fish
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 4 months ago

            Saying that I brought Maddison in for a -4 this week and that worked out.

            1. andres
              • 12 Years
              4 years, 4 months ago

              Thanks

  12. Greko82

      Really it is between these two?

      1. Greko82
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Oh yes. I meant who to play and who to bench

      Oh dear

  13. lifes a pitch

    1. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Hold

  15. Greko82
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Which is better?

    A) Mane-Robertson-Salah
    B) Mane-Robertson-TAA

    1. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      A

    2. The_Fish
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Tough one. Depends on other options.

      I have Salah and TAA and I’m debating Robbo or Mane for the 3rd slot.

    3. Poseidon.
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      so Salah vs TAA? I expect Salah to score more points

    4. andres
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      This is the million dollar question, leaning towards a

    5. ItOnlyTook9Years
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Lack of clean sheets means A easy. But I don't think you need both attackers

  16. Carefree Crew
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Gazzinga, (Button)
    TAA, Chilwell, Rico, *Mendy, *Fredericks,
    Salah, Sterling, Mount, *Cantwell, (Dendonker)
    Vardy, Abraham, *Greenwood

    1 FT £3.0m ITB

    Wildcard? 4 X * (Does 4 transfers justify a wildcard or is that a waste?)

    DFs: Janmaat? Soyuncu? / Tomori?

    MF: Tielemans

    (Main rival has Mount, Martial, Madison, Mane.
    So Salah & Sterling are differentials)

    ST: Deulofeu? (Struggling to afford Jiminez)

    Low team value, hoping to make some £ if playing WC over IB.

    Help much appreciated. Many thanks!

    1. Tsparkes10
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Wildcard for me. Get Lund or Baldock in for sure. Lose Sterling and the 4 you have tagged. Possibly even a different GK?

    2. Carefree Crew
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Thanks TSparkes,

      Lundstram is in my main rivals team, forget to mention.
      Steered away as already have similar players, his team value is much higher than mine if I put him in, I'm further behind financially by another £0.7m, I'm hoping Lundstroms points dry up, no offence mate, noticed who you support!

      Sterling is one of my few differentials, that I'm hoping could be explosive, but that obviously does free up cash.

      GK, Spurs have been poor, but he's cheap, just transferred Ryan out for him last week & main rival has Pope.

      I'm really struggling...

      1. Tsparkes10
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Hahaha none taken mate. But... With the fixtures and how attacking he's been. I can only see his points being more regular. I'd get him, matching opponents is sometimes key, especially for the best fpl player ;).

        I get you on Sterling but got rid on wc in gw9 and feeling great.

        Fixtures do improve tbf so should be okay with him for now

  17. Tsparkes10
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    69 points and a 4th green arrow since the wc. Hopefully it continues 🙂 2FT so food for thought during IB.

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      That is great mate , all you can ask for is greens.

      1. The_Fish
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        I’m greedy. Went from 86k to 26k yesterday, down at 38k today.

        I’m now unhappy with this gw.

        1. Tsparkes10
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Hahaha don't lie to yourself

          1. The_Fish
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 4 months ago

            My main ML rival was 66 points behind yesterday, now it’s 51. I want a bigger gap. It’s not logical, but it’s the truth.

            1. Tsparkes10
              • 5 Years
              4 years, 4 months ago

              Yh igy. Focus on the positives though

    2. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Your team is in good shape to, but obviously you need a keeper

      1. Tsparkes10
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Honestly happy to ride this gw. Not worth a transfer and money for me as happy with deno after this gw as set and forget.

  18. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Traore as a fifth mid? Have the funds for it. Would play instead of Mount next GW.

    1. Tsparkes10
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Thinking this. Mousset as my 3rd striker who id start over Traore most weeks

    2. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      might get him as bench cover for xmas time

  19. Piggs Boson
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    The way Leicester passed the ball against Arsenal reminded me of Rodgers' superb Swansea side, and even Barca at times. Rodgers has said Barca and Cruyff were his major coaching influences and it's really showing.

    The defensive stability, the comfort in possession, and the threat in final third from both breaking down teams and quick direct plays... this team are a top 4 side, without a doubt and are here to stay.

    1. Poseidon.
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Definitely - think the top 4 stays as it is now

      1. The_Fish
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Not finishing top 4 would be a disaster really. They’re so good they should be 3rd imo.

        Rodgers to Arsenal/Man Utd/Spurs by the summer.

        1. Tsparkes10
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          I wouldn't if I was him. Leicester set up much better for the future, young squad who are unreal. Why leave something that's great and working

          1. Piggs Boson
            • 12 Years
            4 years, 4 months ago

            Replacing Vardy will be a major concern in the coming years, and they could do with some quality in the attacking wide areas. But they have a good foundation to build from if they can keep the players.

  20. jia you
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    80(-8), decent GW and team in good shape moving forward...worth the -32 over 5 GWs 😉

    1. Buck The Trent
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Not much in it

    2. StoichkovFPL

        4 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah I like them actually. 0.2 to spare so no rush either.

        And I have a keeper plus Mings to sell if I need cash later..

          Auba has SOU nor BHA whu

          I know he has been in poor form and he likes trolling us on easy gabes but those fixtures are amazing

    Down to 66k. Not trying to be a muppet - know that some would take that but I honestly don’t remember being so low in the last 7-8 seasons. Feels a difficult year

    1. Royal5
      • 12 Years

      Link?

      1. Poseidon.
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Sorry, it contains personal details. I should have lied and played things down and said I’m usually 500k or something - my point is really what a strange season it is

        1. Royal5
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          If you have been playing fpl for 8 seasons and not been lowe than around 66k at parts of the season you are obviously lying.

        Sorry, didn’t mean to bring out insecurities

      It’s defo a difficult season, my hardest one yet. Captaincy is the most difficult this year.

      1. Poseidon.
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        The only ones I’ve got right this season are the ones where I’ve been really lucky!

    5. Mithrandir, the Grey Pilgri…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      I finished 16K last year, I've just edged into the top million!

      You think 66K is low at GW12???

      1. Poseidon.
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Sorry shouldn’t have included that detail at all - certainly didn’t finish anywhere near top 16k last year. Just mean it’s a strange old season

        1. Mithrandir, the Grey Pilgri…
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Fair enough. It is.
          My Captain choices have been appalling. The game gets harder every year.

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years

            I spoke too soon. After tonight's update back to 1.1 million.

  24. Bees4Lyf
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Right thinking of what to do with my team over the international break. Sterling to...

    A) Maddison + marital (-4)

    B) Salah (have Mané + Taa)

    1. Bees4Lyf
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      I also have Vardy + soy

    2. Poseidon.
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      I’d go B - nice to see a Brentford fan on here - my Grandad used to play for you!

      1. Bees4Lyf
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Thanks mate, yes up the bees!! Hoping to be in the Prem in next couple of seasons, after the new stadium!

        1. Poseidon.
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Me too - just got to keep hold of players! Would love to see you up there!

  25. Bring back Rafa

    Anyone think Madison or Martial will go up tonight? Numbers might be clouded because many using WC

    1. jimmy.floyd
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Maddy going up

    2. Bees4Lyf
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Think mads will tonight but not martial

  26. steven8991
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Dont know who should I pick between Robertson or TAA?

    any advice?

    1. jimmy.floyd
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      TAA because of the set pieces

    2. The_Fish
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Robbo keeps picking up the points whilst Trent looks more dangerous. I may get both.

  27. jimmy.floyd
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Maddison or Martial?

    1. StoichkovFPL
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Maddison

    2. The_Fish
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      MAddison.. but potentially both.

    3. Royal5
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Marshall

    4. Bees4Lyf
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Madds only cos of United’s inconsistency, but try to fit both in soon

  28. Kane Train
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Best 4.5 mid or less or doesn’t it matter if they on bench

    1. StoichkovFPL
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Hayden

    2. The_Fish
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Hayden.

  29. Brosstan
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Commentators earlier today where talking about what United need and said Maddison was perfect for them. Lmao as if he will ever go to a team that would be lucky to finish top 6

    1. ItOnlyTook9Years
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Well, it would guarantee him an England place, and the money would be nice so...

    2. jia you
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Leicester would revert to a mid table side if Vardy got a bad injury 😉
