Having recorded just one clean sheet in seven league matches, Leicester City defenders are not quite the attractive options they were during their autumnal purple patch.

Three of the Foxes’ first-choice backline are indeed among the top five most-sold Fantasy Premier League defenders of Gameweek 23 at the time of writing.

Jonny Evans (£5.3m) is the only Leicester defender to have registered an attacking return over the last seven Gameweeks, meanwhile, and the loss of key midfielder Wilfred Ndidi (£5.0m) to injury would seem to further dent the clean sheet prospects of Brendan Rodgers’ side.

With some Fantasy managers already losing faith, are we rushing to judgement about the Foxes’ defence?

In this article, we look at some of the key underlying data in our Members Area to see if Leicester’s wider defensive numbers have dipped during their recent run.

    1. Monkey Hanger

      None imo.

    2. St Pauli Walnuts
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    6 years, 1 month ago

    Guys, could I ask you if you would wildcard this lot?

    Fabianski (out) / Martin (prob not playing)

    2. chaser123
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Rico also probably not playing?

      1. FPL Emu
        • 15 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        True. Defence still not the aaaabsolute worst this week though

        Doherty (sou) - Lundstram (ars) - Dunk (AVL)

  4. FPL_Crisis
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Which one of Vardy or Rashford would you sell for Firmino
    If Leicester get past Villa in the cup, Firmino would have 6 games from 24-28 whilst Vardy 4...

    1. Moose™
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Firmino not a rotation risk? Origi might have some minutes?

      1. FPL_Crisis
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        I do agree especially the saints game straight after the double which is short turnaround

      2. Regin
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        firmino is not rotation risk but vardy def better option

  5. Moose™
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Bottomed.

    Lads, which is the best plan going forward?

    Ryan (Button)

    TAA Soyuncu Lundy (Stephens) (Simpson)

    Mane KdB Alli Grealish (Cantwell)

    Vardy Rashy Tammy

    A. Alli Tammy Vardy >>> Son Ings Firmino (-4)

    B. Soy Alli Grealish Tammy >>> BWilliams Salah Hayden Ings (-8)

    C. Soy Alli Tammy >>> Robbo Martial Deeney (-4)

    D. Soy Rashy >>> Lascelles/Cathcart Firmino

    Appreciate any inputs. Thanks a lot.

    3. Moose™
      • 13 Years

      Could not decide what is the best moves for my team.. Need help here.. Thanks..

    4. Karhumies
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Tammy to Ings, any defender to Gomez. Keep Rashford. Alli to Richarlison later if possible.

      1. Moose™
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        All of the moves can be done next GW?

        Tammy has Newcastle next.

  6. Shark Team
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Play Lundstram this week?( Considering auba's red card plus the fact that he is gonna be benched by millions of ppl)

    My other options to play are
    Aurier and Rico.

    What to do?
    Thanks

    1. Moose™
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I played Stephens ahead of him.

  7. Maddamotha
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Which one, if any?

    A) Guaita > McCarty/Ryan
    B) Targett/Rico> Holgate/Williams
    C) Jimenez > Ings

    1. Rhodes your boat

    On a WC - anything that should be changed?

    McCarthy (Foster)
    Taa Gomez Dunk (Lunds Williams)
    Mane KDB Rich Grealish (Dendo)
    Vardy Ings (A)guero

    1. kamdaraji

      Just your t-shirt if it's sweaty

    2. Wag the Drog
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Do you have a plan for when Kun starts getting rotated?

      1. Eat my goal!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Figure City are chasing and he's their best striker - he plays like he did at the beginning of the season

        That said when Rash returns - he's a perfect option and Gomez can then become Robbo

    3. FPL Emu
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Gomez -> some decent defender

      Vardy -> Firmino

      Thank me come gw25

      1. Eat my goal!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah I like Firmino as an option for the double but it could easily be a disaster too

        Gomez is a good defender, just lacks the ceiling of say robbo or vvd. That said over the last 6 he has outscored them.

    4. vityovics
      • 7 Years

      Wow g2g

    5. Reiger

        Thanks man, GL to you too!

  9. Fudgy
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Rashford is one of United's top ballers and he will always give 100% , therefore he stays in my team no matter what the injury duration

    1. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      You'll keep him if he's out for the remainder of the season?

      1. vityovics
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        You dont understand love

      2. Fudgy
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Yes because I'm not believing anything ole says

        1. Eat my goal!
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Very wise!

  10. Mr G
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Triple pool with double attack locked in ✅

    1 FT...

    A) Traoré > Maddo (0.1 off Rich

    1. Mr G
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      ffs post cut off?!

      1 FT...

      A) Traoré > Maddo (0.1 off Rich 0.1 off Rich but not worth burning 4 to shoe in)

      B) save & play Cantwell (bench Traoré)

      First to 3 wins!

      Cheers all

      1. SHOOTER MCGINN
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Definitely play Cantwell. I'd play him over anyone you can bring in at that price when he's up against Bournemouth

  11. Rhodes your boat
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Arsenal appealed the auba red card and failed?! Surprised they even bothered trying

    1. kamdaraji
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      they thought it was worthy of a pink card not a red

      1. George Sillett
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        What's a pink card ?

        1. Mooster©️
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          It’s the same as an orange card

  12. FPL Maldini
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    I never do transfers early but really want to do Fabianski to McCarthy before he rises

    Do you reckon it's safe to do it now or should I just wait until the Friday pressers?

    1. vityovics
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I did it

    2. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      safe

  13. Wag the Drog
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    a) Rash, Maddison -> Ings, Salah (-4)
    b) Rico -> Robertson free

    Have Mane, TAA already.
    Other Strikers: Tammy, Vardy

    1. vityovics
      • 7 Years

      1. Wag the Drog
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        That's actually what I'd be doing.

      2. Wag the Drog
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        so it would be a hit to bring in Ings this week

        1. mcginnntonic
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          hmm wait for rash pressers, don’t think that’s worth taking the 4

  14. vityovics
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Correct (bench) order?
    1) Lunds (ars)
    2) Greenw (liv)
    3) Connollly (AVL)

    1. Wag the Drog
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      132 for me

    2. mcginnntonic
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      if rash is out maybe start greenwood

      No.

    4. Champions League Varane

      6 years, 1 month ago

      1-week punt

    5. Monkey Hanger
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Best straight swap for Traore , if he is out.

  17. DMP
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    For -4, Rico and Traore to Cantwell and TAA?

    Ryan

        1. DMP
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          0,1 short of a straight swap of Rico to Robbo. :/

  18. Champions League Varane

    Thoughts?- just save or any transfers needed?

  19. kamdaraji
    • 16 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Williams nailed?

    1. JIMMY TUGGINS
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I don't think he is yet but he really should be.

      1. kamdaraji
        • 16 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        can't get him then even though he is 4m

        1. kamdaraji
          • 16 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Shaw might take his place when fit

        2. SHOOTER MCGINN
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Worth the risk at 4m IMO

      2. Eat my goal!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        This

      3. Champions League Varane
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        He 100% should be but I think think he is (yet!)

        1. Champions League Varane
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Don’t*

    • 6 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Planning on selling traore this week with my 1 ft. Got 8mil for midfielder..

    A) anderson (so gave him for double gameweek)
    B) martial
    C) Maddison
    D) keep traore and save ft

    1. gooner_112233445566
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      E) other options

    2. Mr G
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Same situation... 0.1 off Rich grrrr

      Tempted by Maddison for short term but would rather bench Traoré, save transfer and do a double move to get Rich (slight upgrade IMO) next week!

  21. AC Pilkington
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    If Rash is out a few weeks then there is definitely scope to fit in Mane and Salah with Greenwood as a starter in our teams

    1. Moose™
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Based on recents comments by Ole, I do not expect Greenwood will start most of the matches..

      1. TLF
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years

        What did he say ?

        1. Baps Hunter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years

          Hoping Rashford to be ready for next match. Yet, notice, hoping.

  22. Captain Beefheart
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Bench Cantwell or Madison?

    1. Hits from the Bong
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Cantwell for me

      1. Captain Beefheart
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Yes I usually bench cheaper option but Cantwell home against BOU got me thinking twice, cheers

    2. SHOOTER MCGINN
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Maddison.

      1. Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Yes, Cantwell more like to score (source: bookies)

  23. jia you
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Rashford + Trossard to Maupay + Mahrez seems sensible on WC all of a sudden?

      1. Champions League Varane
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Going with Vardy too

        Burnley have been dreadful of late and Palace may just sit back..

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          I think that suits city at the Etihad - they just build pressure and sneak through. Best form of defence against city is attacking but I don't see Palace giving them any trouble

      2. Hits from the Bong
        • 7 Years

        I was happy with my KDB captain points last week but think I‘ll quit while I’m ahead, hate having to depend on Pep

    Rashford + Martial to Ings + Salah for free?
    Would still have Traore and Jiminez double up.
