Vardy’s goal streak continues as FPL’s best defence banks another clean sheet

Leicester City 2-0 Watford

  • Goals: Jamie Vardy (£9.9m), James Maddison (£7.6m)
  • Assists: Jonny Evans (£5.1m), James Justin (£4.8m)
  • Bonus: Evans x3, Maddison x2, Ricardo Pereira (£6.4m)

They can’t all be 9-0s.

The bar was set ludicrously high by Brendan Rodgers’ side in Gameweek 8 and since then the Foxes have recorded more modest victories, scoring exactly two goals in each of their last five league matches.

With in excess of two million Fantasy Premier League managers and over 82% of the top 10k handing the armband to Jamie Vardy (£9.9m) ahead of Leicester City’s home match against managerless, bottom-of-the-table Watford, there were wildly optimistic predictions of another mauling and a deluge of FPL points.

What followed was a game strikingly similar to the Gameweek 14 victory over Everton just three days earlier.

In both cases, a struggling Premier League team had frustrated the Foxes until well into the second half and forced Rodgers to shuffle his pack.

With a busy December ahead, the Leicester boss had hinted at rotation in his pre-match press conference, highlighting the probable need to freshen his starting XI up in order to maintain his side’s “energy and intensity”.

Despite these comments, Rodgers’ only alteration to his starting XI was an enforced one: Christian Fuchs (£4.3m) replacing the injured Ben Chilwell (£5.9m) at left-back.

It was perhaps no surprise, then, that some of Leicester’s players looked leggy against the Hornets on Wednesday, with the exertions of their last-gasp victory over Everton just over 72 hours before this latest match taking its toll.

Youri Tielemans (£6.7m), an ever-present this season and a player who had lasted at least 80 minutes in all 14 previous league fixtures, appeared to be particularly jaded and was substituted midway through the second half.

Ayoze Perez (£6.2m) has been mostly ineffectual in the last two Gameweeks, meanwhile, and, having been hauled off for Kelechi Iheanacho (£5.7m) on Sunday, he failed to make it out after the interval against Watford last night.

It wouldn’t be a huge surprise if Rodgers makes a change or two against Aston Villa this weekend, then, with Tielemans and Perez among the leading candidates for a breather in the Midlands.

The Leicester boss said after the game:

We’ve played better this season. However, the mentality of the team and the ability to keep going… Hayden [Mullins] set the team up very well, Watford were very compact, very tight, deep, tried to frustrate. So that’s always difficult. But we had to keep our perseverance and keep going.

Harvey Barnes (£5.9m) looked anything but fatigued and, despite a fifth blank in a row, was one of the Foxes’ brighter players, especially in the first half.

A one-two with James Maddison (£7.6m) resulted in Barnes firing into the side netting before the left-winger danced his way through the Watford defence, only to be denied by Ben Foster (£4.8m) from close range.

The Watford goalkeeper was at it again after just after the break, thwarting Barnes from inside the six-yard box.

This was the young midfielder’s tenth start in a row for the Foxes; it was also the tenth successive game in which he has been substituted. Therein lies one of the downsides to Barnes, especially with Rodgers blessed with attack-minded options on the bench and threatening rotation over Christmas.

As was the case at the King Power Stadium on Sunday, it was a Vardy goal that set Leicester on their way to victory.

There is now almost a sense of inevitability that he will get on the scoresheet, regardless of how anonymous he looks.

Ever since Rodgers took over earlier this year, Vardy has wrestled FPL hauls from the jaws of a blank.

The late braces against Fulham and Arsenal, plus belated attacking returns against Huddersfield Town, are still fresh in the mind from the back-end of 2018/19.

Ten of his 14 goals this season have come in the second half and, although his latest strike came courtesy of a generous penalty award after a foul from Adam Masina (£4.3m) on Jonny Evans (£5.1m), he had arguably earned a lucky spot-kick decision, having been harshly penalised – and booked – for simulation in the Watford box earlier in the game.

The in-form premium striker, who remains FPL’s leading points-scorer, almost doubled his tally soon after, only to see his dinked effort hacked away from near the goal-line by a retreating Masina.

Maddison added gloss to the scoreline in injury time, bundling his way forward and firing past Foster to seal the win.

The England midfielder was himself not at his best last night but his owners would have felt they were due some luck after the penalty-taking farce of Gameweek 13 that deprived him of a goal against Brighton.

Normal service was resumed at the other end of the pitch, with Leicester keeping their seventh clean sheet of the season and their fifth in six Gameweeks.

Caglar Soyuncu (£5.1m) and co were seldom troubled, with Kasper Schmeichel (£5.3m) not making a save until injury time.

A Will Hughes (£5.5m) shot that struck Troy Deeney (£6.2m) was as close as the visitors came to breaking the deadlock before that.

Chilwell missed out on the shut-out points, with Rodgers saying of his injured left-back:

Hopefully, will be OK for the weekend. Slight problem with the top of his leg, the hip area. We’ll see how he goes over the next couple of days but hopefully OK.

Watford assets will be low down on many Fantasy managers’ watchlists, certainly until we find out who will succeed Quique Sanchez Flores at Vicarage Road.

Whoever steps into the managerial hotseat has a lot to tackle, with the Hornets seven points adrift at the foot of the Premier League and offering next-to-no attacking threat at the King Power despite their wholehearted performance.

Finding the back of the net has been a real problem in 2019/20 and Watford are the only top-flight team still in single figures for goals, with this latest defeat seeing them muster only four shots in total.

Mullins showed a bit more attacking ambition in deploying a 4-4-1-1, with Deeney in for the injured Jose Holebas (£4.7m), but there was little joy to be had against the Premier League’s meanest backline.

Owners of Crystal Palace and Liverpool defenders will be hoping that Watford remain shot-shy ahead of their encounters in Gameweeks 16 and 17 respectively.

Leicester City XI (4-1-4-1): Schmeichel; Ricardo, Evans, Soyuncu, Fuchs; Ndidi; Perez (Praet 46′), Tielemans (Choudhury 69′), Maddison, Barnes (Justin 80′), Vardy.

Watford XI (4-4-1-1): Foster; Femenia, Mariappa, Cathcart, Masina; Hughes (Quina 83′), Doucoure, Capoue, Sarr; Deulofeu (Success 77′); Deeney (Gray 87′).

    Really want to get David Silva in, has been so consistent this year. Better option than Sterling atm for sure, only 7.6m

    1. Riders of Yohan
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Are you not worried about rotation?

      1. Captain_Shirokov
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        not overly, seems to be more nailed than Bernardo this season. Obviously rotation would happen at some point (as it will for every City player over Christmas) but I'd be ok with it

        1. Le Bluff
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          I agree with this. I feel Silva provides a great route into City's attack without the pressure of having to captain Sterling/KDB, or expecting explosive points because of their prices.

          At 7.6, I think he's a great asset. Sure, he'll get subbed early and rotated, but he always racks up the points when he's on the pitch. 4th highest scoring mid in the game last time I checked.

          1. Captain_Shirokov
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            yup 4th highest, elite level consistency

            would love to get him in this week but can't justify Zaha to Silva (-4)....

    2. Francescoli
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Very consistent swansong season

    3. Regin
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      i am also thinking he is a good cheaper option to d silva

      1. Regin

        *i mean to kdb

    4. Fit_to_drop

        Should I hold until gw 18 or ship now?

    I have sky and BT sports but had to stream the football on amazon prime. I have 350+mb (wired) connection yet I see a massive difference in picture quality and screen refresh rate. Also the stream was so far behind that even the BBC website live text was ahead of it.

    Is this expected or is it likely to be an issue with my internet connection?

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      must be at their end - plenty of others have experienced similar this week

      1. ebb2sparky
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Thanks for the response. Good to know others faced similar issues. I don’t see any advantage of paying for amazon prime over simply finding a stream elsewhere on the internet.

          You get next day delivery and their selection of films/tv shows. But agreed it's getting a bit much now that I have subscriptions for Sky Sports, BT sports, Netflix, Now TV, Amazon and have to pay for the License Fee as well...

    2FT, 0.3ITB

    Hendo
    TAA, Robbo, Lund
    Mane, Maddison, KDB, Mount
    Tammy, Jimi, Vardy

    Button. Cantwell, Tomori, Kelly

    Any suggestions here?

    A) Robbo + Mount -> £5.1 + Alli
    B) Tomori out
    C) something else?

    1. Francescoli
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Aurier and Alli could be a good move

      1. Riders of Yohan
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Ooh good shout! Aurier is just such a liability though and mourinho hasn’t quite yet sorted their defending out

        1. Francescoli
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Yes but we know Mourinho. The defence will come good and Aurier has been given licence to attack.

      2. Riders of Yohan
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Thank you for the suggestion

    2. Captain_Shirokov
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Soyuncu is still 5.1m. Would have him over Aurier

  8. Francescoli
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    1FT and 0.6itb.

    A) Save
    B) Janmaat to Targett, Kelly, or Aurier

    Henderson
    TAA Soyuncu Lundstram
    Mane Son Pulisic KDB
    Vardy Rashford Jimenez

    Button Rico Janmaat* Elneny*

    1 FT 2.5 ITB. Should I take out Salah for Mané? Given it’s against Bournemouth and he’s rested, not sure. Any other suggestions?

    1. Francescoli
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I'd do it. Mane the form player in that side.

  14. rodragon

    Damn my bench has rico Kelly and dendonker

    1. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      No blank players to get them in? All my rivals seem to be getting at least one of them in and here's me with Rico nailed on the bench unless Lundy or Mousset doesn't play

      1. rodragon
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        I wish... All my players started...

    2. Ibra
      • 5 Years

      Same here

  15. Captain_Shirokov
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Looks like Tomori has become an issue.

    But with a defence of TAA - Lund - Soy, I'm probably never going to play Tomori anyway and can't justify a free transfer on him. Anyone else in same boat?

    1. Regin
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      yeah bigger issues to take care of. maybe tomori was just rested.

  16. Bubbles1985

    Gazza
    TAA Lundstram Soy
    Sterling KDB Mount Cantwell
    Abra Auba Vardy

    Button Kelly Saka Rico

    Is this worth a -4 hit:

    Sterling > Mane
    Saka > Alli
    Auba > Mousset

    I have 2FT 1.1itb and still got WC!!

    1. Captain_Shirokov
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Absolutely. Don't know how you've held Sterling over Mane for so long.

    2. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Easily. All great players to bring in.

    3. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years

      Yes

    4. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I also have WC and I’m doing Sterling > Salah (c). Then getting rid before blank and getting Mané on WC later

      Pre WC is a time for punts imo

      1. Bubbles1985
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        I agree to a point, although I am sitting top of my MLs

      2. Regin
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        why salah (C)? why not get mane & captain?

    5. Bubbles1985

      Cheers guys, just need some backing!

      Could it be time for a Son / Alli double up as a 'sword' ?

    2. Karan14

      Good going wasn't expecting one for the weekend! 😀

      What should us Kane owners do?
      Is it already time to get Tammy back?

    3. Francescoli
      • 9 Years

      With JWP, Ings, Tarkowski etc. all firing these past weeks, is it time to base our transfer policy on Scoutcast differential picks?

      1. Francescoli
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Also any chance of an early Christmas present? A certain Mark on the Scoutcast? Would love to hear about his season.

        1. FPL Virgin
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years

          He needs to publicly explain himself on Vardy!

            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 13 Years

            The more obsessed we are with his team, the less likely he is to appear.

    4. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      How many clean sheets will Liverpool keep this season? Please give us a number.

      Are Salah and Sterling dead as FPL assets or can they still be rank-busting swords?

    5. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Talking point - how dangerous is it to keep a player because "you know what he is capable of"?

    6. Notorjus
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Considering the fixtures, is it time to ditch KDB & Jiminez for the likes of Alli & Rashford (doubling up with son?)

    7. The Rumour Mill
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Great to have 2 scoutcasts in 4 days, a nice early xmas present! Appreciate this and the time and effort that goes into recording them.

      a selection of potential questions:

      Is investing in Norwich looking worthwhile again?

      Do Palace defensive injuries put you off investment here, or does the ease of the fixtures overcome this?

      Any Arsenal assests appeal?

      Time to ditch Tomori?

      Who goes to pave the way for Tammy's return?

      And my own personal favourite, time to revisit the whipping boys segment? Anyone's defensive stats cratering? Bournemouth look utterly dreadful at the moment, losing to 10 man palace is frankly alarming. Also, on the flipside, has anyone come off whipping boy status, such as West Ham or Villa?

    8. Bury94
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      So many good strikers at the minute - Abraham, Ings, Jiminez, Vardy, Rashford etc. What do you think is the optimum front line right now?

      Liverpool defenders, keep or sell?

      Who is the best replacement for Martial?

    11. Throwback
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Q1 - do we still need 3 chelsea players (risk of rotation / injuries etc) ?

      Q2 - Stick with template team or go differential /maverick

      Very average rank - current team too template - only one differential
      (Pope - TAA/Soy/Lund - KDB/Mane/Son/Mount or Pulisic - Vardy/Jimi/Mousset)

      Is Aurier the real deal? Or is the lack of clean sheets so far going to continue to be a problem?

      I said it on another of Andy’s hot topics earlier - given his incredible stats and his frankly unbelievable lack of FPL returns, is Sterling the new Tadic?

    14. Balotellitubbies
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      Discuss formation. With so many good defender and striker options, is 4-3-3 the way going forward?

      Is it time to go VAR (Rashford) instead of VAJ?

      How do we best prepare for GW18?

    17. Gav's Gunners
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      It has been mentioned recently but have we just seen exactly why we need to have a strong playing bench over this next month.

      Tomori, Salah, Martial missed out.
      Soyuncu, Rico, Dendoncker replaced and gave me 25 points. SMOOTH

      Please talk about Salah. There's a good 20+ percent folks still holding him. What should they do with Salah? Stick or twist?

      4 years, 3 months ago

      Can you take a few minutes to talk about how jammy Magnus Carlsen’s team is probably going to get into the top 25 this week? Captained Salah and no Martial, so he gets Mané(V), Kelly, and Dendoncker, with Lundstram and Mousset left to play.

    Lundstram rested tonight would be awesome

    1. Captain_Shirokov
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      would mean Montoya off the bench for me, no thanks

    2. Francescoli
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Yes Rico for me.

    Good Morning
    If you have Kane would you keep him for at least two fixtures or sell and Abraham again ?

    Mane or Vardy captain?

    Felt very happy with my team for a long time now but still not been doing great. So annoying.

    Sorry guys - have asked this already but got mixed answers.

    My starting defence this week is Tomori Chilwell TAA and Lundstram. My bench goes Defender Midfielder Striker.

    As Tomori and Chilwell did not play, obviously the Defender will come straight in but was unsure whether Lundstram needed to get minutes in order for the Midfielder to also be subbed in?

    Can anyone clear this up?

    Cheers

    1. Free Hat
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      You can play 5 at the back. So your 2 first subs will come in for chil en tom

      1. aidmata
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        So no requirement to have 3 playing defenders first before a Midfielder can come in for a Defender? Not sure where I seem to have imagined this from! Thanks

        1. Old Man
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Yes there is - you need 3 defenders. In the event that you cannot field 3 then a midfielder can only come on to replace a benched midfielder/striker

    2. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      If The Lord stays benched then your midfielder comes in,

    3. Regin
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      assuming Lundstram plays, the benched defender will replace tomori.

      the benched midfielder replaces chilwell.
