Our next members article of the week turns the spotlight on second-placed Leicester City. After scoring in each of their first 17 league matches, Claudio Ranieri’s side have gone off the boil in the final third, drawing a trio of successive blanks and conceding just once as the festive fixtures take their toll on the Foxes chief protagonists.
The tactic of doubling-up on Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez, which proved so successful over the first half of the 2015/16 campaign, is now coming under question by many Fantasy managers.

With a few days still remaining until next Tuesday’s Gameweek 21 deadline, we delve into the data over the last few fixtures to assess the Foxes performances and to ascertain whether the recent exodus is merited.
