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. Indeed, with wildcards now in play, the former has been transferred out of over 160,000 FPL sides due to an ongoing groin problem which makes him a slight doubt for next Wednesday’s trip to Tottenham.

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.

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

      1. Ha.
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        I've officially joined the club

    2. RangerMouse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

    3. HurriKane
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      none

      i prefer D with Kane over Costa

    4. Francescoli
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Kane, Igalho, Aguero

      1. John wick

      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      On aguero lukaku kane with a view of switching kane to ighalo and getting sanchez in with ozil and kdb. So B.

  2. RamaJama
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    Bench Bellerin or Ward?

    1. Ha.
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Must be better options surely? I'm playing both

      1. RamaJama
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        Playing Sagna and Zouma. Also have Simpson

        1. Ha.
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 11 months ago

          Everton likely to score, no? Even without Lukaku, I don't trust that City defence

    2. Rolls-Royce
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Ward

    3. HurriKane
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Ward

    4. RangerMouse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      I would play both if possible, but if I had to choose I'd bench Bellerin. Hard to do though

    5. Francescoli
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Ward

    6. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    2. RangerMouse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      I would say A or B, I'm considering B.

      1. Rolls-Royce
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        Maybe Moreno worth keeping for possible DGW?

    3. SweeSwee

      A or D

      1. Rolls-Royce

        Which one do you prefer out of A?

    4. Evasivo
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Moreno to Ivanovic

    5. HurriKane
      • 13 Years

    6. Rolls-Royce

      9 years, 11 months ago

      Cheers all.

    • 10 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Depay 7.8 only...

    1. HurriKane
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Ben Watson 4.3 only. Better form and fixtures

      1. BENOIT
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        Better minutes too.

    2. Ayew Serious
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Buy him

    3. Pasqualinho
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      He's been like Lamela was last year. He might come good eventually but isn't really a consideration for me for this season.

    4. BENOIT
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Joke?

    5. Francescoli
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      only? he's playing like he's worth 5.5 max

    6. Rolls-Royce
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Not even worth half of it.

    7. Uppercut Panda - A legend i…
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      there is a reason for that... he's been terrible rubbish

  4. RangerMouse
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Any advice on what I should do with my 1FT and 7.2mill ITB with this team?

    Butland
    Alderweireld - Williams - Moreno
    Ozil - Silva - Willian - Mahrez
    Kane - Lukaku - Ighalo

    Subs: Henessey, Gosling, Bellerin, Simpson

    I want to get Cresswell in, with the good fixtures and just generally like him. Also looking to get Aguero in, but struggling to find reasons to get rid of any strikers. Willian will go to Payet in the coming weeks and maybe downgrade Silva? Any ideas on how I can reshuffle this team? Any help would be great!

    1. HurriKane
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Lukaku ---> Aguero

      maybe get rid of kane after next 2 if his form dips

      1. RangerMouse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        I like the look of Kane's fixtures, or else I probably would get rid of him now. I guess if all goes wrong I can get Lukaku back in for Kane. So at the minute I think Lukaku to Aguero is what I will go for.

    2. John Colby (C)
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      I had to bite the bullet and drop Lukaku from the squad personally. What about Reid now hes back for WHU?

      1. RangerMouse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        I think I am going to do that too, look to get him back in in the future. That is a good shout. Either be him or Cresswell, depends who is more likely to gain assists. So may just go for Cresswell.

  5. Esraj
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Looking for a Myhill replacement.
    a) Foster
    b) Fabianski
    c) Schmeichel
    d) Adrian

    Thanks.

      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Adrian if no other WHU defenders.

      1. HurriKane
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        would that matter anyway ? whu faces 6 sides in bottom 8 in their next 7 fixtures?

        im considering doubling up on whu defence on wc

    1. Andy1
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Foster

    2. HurriKane
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Adrian

    3. Francescoli
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      D

    4. Lyonnais
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      b or d

      It's 12.50 mow

  7. Jigger & Pony

    Any major transfer activity we expect in Jan? Berahino, Mane, Stones, etc.?

  8. Burger

    Great article btw, that downturn in stats for the Foxes are certainly a concern.

    1. Ayew Serious
      • 10 Years

      You're not a member :sigh:

        What's that got to do with it?

  9. Je suis le chat
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Will Arteta get any match time in the upcoming league matches? Woyld he take penos of Giroud? Getting a little concerned as a Giroud owner (also re rotations).

    1. England's Number 1
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Walcott could take his place when Sanchez returns as Wally's only filling in on the wing at the moment.

  10. Mayo for Sam
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    Best long term keeper,

    A, Hart
    B, Lloris
    C, DDG
    D, Cech

    1. Mayo for Sam
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      E, Courtois

  11. Hip_Priest
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 11 months ago

    My attempt to be a bit different:

    Fab | Hen
    Williams | Cresswell | Ward | Daniels | Walker
    Alli | Oscar | Cabaye | Siggy | Payet
    Costa | Giroud | Aguero

    £2.6 itb.

    100+ points behind in my league. Expect to be 200 behind soon 🙂

    1. England's Number 1
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 11 months ago

      Good effort. Giroud isn't nailed now Sanchez is back and Walcott could play CF. Kane is only the 4th most popular striker so not template. Have him.

      1. England's Number 1
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 11 months ago

        But I'm 100 points behind in my mini league through trying to be different.
