A first look at Leicester’s Fantasy assets under Brendan Rodgers

Brendan Rodgers’ reign as Leicester City manager got off to a losing start on Sunday as his new charges fell to a last-gasp 2-1 defeat at Vicarage Road.

Jamie Vardy was on the scoresheet for the second successive match but was later substituted after suffering the ill-effects of a collision with Ben Foster – more on that incident can be found below.

We run the rule over how the Foxes’ players performed under their new head coach from a Fantasy perspective in our latest Scout Notes article.

Watford 2-1 Leicester City

  • Goals: Troy Deeney (£5.9m), Andre Gray (£5.9m) | Jamie Vardy (£8.9m)
  • Assists: Gerard Deulofeu (£5.6m), Troy Deeney | Youri Tielemans (£6.0m)

Brendan Rodgers wasted no time in putting his own stamp on Leicester City in his first game in charge.

While he made only one change to the starting XI from the team that defeated Brighton in midweek, the ex-Celtic boss ditched the recently-favoured 4-1-4-1/4-2-3-1 set-up of his predecessor in favour of a wing-back system for the trip to Watford on Sunday.

Veteran Wes Morgan (£4.5m) came into a back three alongside Harry Maguire (£5.4m) and Jonny Evans (£4.8m), with Ricardo Pereira (£5.4m) and Ben Chilwell (£5.0m) pushed forward as wing-backs in a 3-4-3.

Harvey Barnes (£5.5m) and James Maddison (£6.7m) were the two attacking midfielders chosen to flank Jamie Vardy (£8.9m), meanwhile, with Demarai Gray (£5.4m) dropping to the bench.

The initial results at Vicarage Road were mixed: the Foxes understandably struggled for any kind of coherence in the opening exchanges of Sunday’s loss to the Hornets and fell behind to their now trademark early goal, though steadily took control of the match in the second half without carving out too many clear-cut opportunities.

The positive news is that the trip to eighth-place Watford was arguably Leicester’s toughest fixture until Gameweek 36 and the Foxes next take on a Fulham side that have shipped two or more goals in all nine of their Premier League matches contested in 2019 – though who were admittedly much-improved in the west London derby today.

Rodgers only had four days of training with his new side ahead of today’s game, so a full week of preparation can only be beneficial in the run-up to a meeting with the Championship-bound Cottagers.

There are plenty of creases to iron out, of course.

Leicester have fallen 1-0 down in 20 of their 29 league matches this season, with their fallibility in the opening ten minutes again in evidence at Vicarage Road.

Moments after Kasper Schmeichel (£5.0m) had made an excellent save from Adrian Mariappa (£4.2m) and Morgan heroically blocked a follow-up effort, Troy Deeney (£5.9m) nodded Watford in front from a teasing Gerard Deulofeu (£5.6m) free-kick.

All of that happened in the opening five minutes and the frustration for Fantasy owners of Leicester’s defenders was that, much like in the recent games against Liverpool and Manchester United, the Foxes’ backline largely contained their opponents thereafter.

Watford, indeed, only had another three attempts on goal after that point – one of which was the injury-time winner that Andre Gray (£5.9m) converted after a sloppy kick out from Schmeichel.

While Leicester bossed possession and registered more than twice as many shots as their hosts, there weren’t any gilt-edged chances for the Foxes until Vardy raced onto a Youri Tielemans (£6.0m) through ball on 74 minutes to level the scores up.

Vardy recorded only 15 touches at Vicarage Road, fewer than any other outfield player who started in Gameweek 29 – a testimony to how well Mariappa and Craig Cathcart (£4.6m) played for the Hornets at centre-back but also to how little Leicester actually did with the ball for the bulk of this match.

There were glimmers of promise: Maddison flickered into life late on and set up an excellent headed chance for Morgan, while Chilwell and Pereira were prominent in the wide areas and racked up 72 touches in the final third between them.

While Leicester’s wing-backs couldn’t turn their touches into meaningful end product, there were faint signs of encouragement that the new system could improve their chances of registering attacking returns going forward. Chilwell, indeed, found himself in a handful of promising situations late on but couldn’t produce a telling final ball.

Tielemans’ passing from central midfield looks key to Leicester’s attacking prospects, with the Belgian having provided the assist for Vardy’s goal and having found the two wing-backs out wide on a number of occasions.

Rodgers said of Tielemans’ role in this 3-4-3 set-up:

The idea today was to have three centre-backs plus Wilf [Ndidi] just controlling the counter-attack. That would give Youri the license to move forward that bit more. You can see he can make that pass and play it.

Vardy’s strike came from his only shot of the match, with the groggy-looking Leicester forward being substituted late on after an earlier clash with Ben Foster (£4.6m).

Rodgers’ assuaged any fears of a serious injury after full-time, however:

He’s OK. He’s more from the impact from the actual collision so he’s just felt a little bit wary. Other than that, he should be OK. Just didn’t feel quite right, he maybe could have stayed on but there’s no point in risking him.

We are hoping he will be OK in the next couple of days.

The former Liverpool manager also provided some comments on Vardy’s role under his stewardship, which will be encouraging for those Fantasy managers who own the premium forward or who are considering a move for him:

He’s a player I’ve always loved, we’ve seen in the last number of years, he’s a born goalscorer, but he is perfect for us in the intensity in which he presses and his running ability.

He showed what he is great at, the pass by Youri, great speed and a wonderful finish, so it is just about getting players in and around him, so he is not on his own and we did that in the second half.

Rodgers said of his side’s efforts overall:

I was really disappointed for the players and supporters today because we got off to a slow start and conceded early on in the game, which was not ideal, especially away from home.

I know it’s a trend that we need to eradicate. Then, I thought we worked our way into the game. We were a little bit slow with our passing in the first half, but we still got into some good positions.

We addressed one or two items at half-time and I thought in the second half, the players were excellent. I thought we looked like the team that would equalise, and we did.

We scored a fantastic goal and it just looked like a matter of time before the second would come. We had all the pressure and really sustained our attacks. You could just sense that they were going to be happy to take a point, Watford.

The more we get used to working together, the better we’ll become.

Watford’s Fantasy assets might be largely unfavoured for the rest of March, given that they face away matches at both Manchester clubs either side of a blank in Gameweek 31 (though the Hornets could have a Double Gameweek 32, depending on what happens in the FA Cup quarter-finals and the subsequent fixture rearrangement).

The hosts were much-improved from a defensive perspective after the 5-0 hammering at Anfield in midweek, with their solid backline helped out by the formidable twosome of Abdoulaye Doucoure (£5.9m) and Etienne Capoue (£4.8m) in central midfield.

It was a curious match for Watford’s attacking assets – the bustling Deeney emerging with a double-digit haul from one shot and one key pass, while Deulofeu was mostly anonymous after his assist for his strike partner’s early goal.

Gracia cited uncertainty over Leicester’s tactics as a mitigating factor but added that the rearguard effort in the second half was by design, rather than as a result of any dominance from the visitors:

We always try to prepare for games the same way but in this case, it was different because Leicester had a new coach and we didn’t know the shape and the players they would choose.

When we started playing against three at the back we tried to adapt quickly and I think we played better in the first half, we adapted very quickly we scored and created more chances.

In the second, it was the moment when we tried to defend close to our goalposts, tried to be compact and in this way we were able to win against a very good team as Leicester is.

Jose Holebas (£4.8m) returned at left-back for Adam Masina (£4.3m) in what was Gracia’s only change to his starting XI.

Watford XI (4-4-2): Foster; Janmaat, Mariappa, Cathcart, Holebas; Hughes (Cleverley 90′), Capoue, Doucoure, Pereyra; Deulofeu (Gray 69′), Deeney.

Leicester City XI (3-4-2-1): Schmeichel; Evans, Morgan, Maguire; Ricardo, Ndidi, Tielemans (Mendy 83′), Chilwell; Maddison, Barnes (Gray 66′); Vardy (Iheanacho 83′).

      Yes I would. I’m assuming you have too much money tied up in Pogba and don’t want to sell and buy back as Son looks a better bet than him next week.

      Aren’t you a bit worried by double Newcastle missing 33?

          It's Burnley, can play Milner there and rest TAA for Bayern. Just an worried owner though.

    2. EMBOLOFAN

      chance that robertson, mane or any CMs rested/rotated imo

    3. Hazz

      Midfielders

    5. THE SHEEP HUNTERS

      • 7 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      week off, then 3 games in 7 days with maximum rest between games (sun/wed/sun) followed by IG i would be very surprised if any of the front three gets rested other than some minutes here and there. Taa perhaps and rotation in midfield.

    The mistake with my no Salah plan was dropping from 300th in the world to 35k over Xmas and bottling it and getting him in.

    I’m back just outside 1k but only half going through with a plan is the worst mistake you can make.

    I feel like if there’s a player you or I avoid in upcoming seasons due to a ridiculous price tag you have to be strong.

    1. EMBOLOFAN
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      remind me who highest scoring player in game is w/ good fixtures + no blanks

      1. Richd
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        I’m not disputing that and I own Salah now.

        My point is that in my situation I avoided his high scores then got in for a load of blanks. The run he’s just come off would have been a further differential and the argument going “no Salah” in the first place.

        I’ll be keeping for blanks and won’t be selling and not disputing his points this season.

        1. EMBOLOFAN
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          cant really predict the hauls other than picking runs of favourable fixtures and hoping for the best. just have to own him and accept the variance

    2. mookie
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Salah was never a very good option at that price, let alone essential.

      1. Richd
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        This was my argument until I caved 😉

        The high priced “essential” player is something that interests me in FPL as there’s two arguments for it

        Going with and captaining means you follow the crowd

        Going without is volatile and it’s either huge greens or huge reds. Volatile way to play but fun

        1. mookie
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          In other seasons where cheapos can match to some extent the big hitters, Salah at 13m would be almost essential.
          It's about getting the most points with 15, not getting the top scorer and see what you cand do with the rest of the team.

    3. willl
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Haven't owned Salah all season.

      Back into top 700 after this week.

      1. Richd
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Nice work. Shows it can be done.

        I’m sure Xmas was volatile for you too !

      2. EMBOLOFAN
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        cool - think where you could have been

    4. AndyCook
        5 years, 8 months ago

        It’s difficult, you have a point there for sure but it’s ok to think something is a mistake after all and to try to rectify it. You have simply been unlucky but luck balances out if you play the game a long time.

      • Gooner Kebab
        • 12 Years

        Kane is the other side of this coin.

    5. Viper

      Camarasa - > Brooks & bench Barnes?

      Gives me 8 for bgw31 with another FT to use

      1. Richd
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        I’m basically doing this I think. However mines Puncheon to brooks and bench Barnes.

        I think it makes sense for the blanks and GW30

      2. EMBOLOFAN
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        seems sensible

      3. Smurf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        I’m getting King in and then benching Barnes so I’d say yes. Barnes is on form but I’m still happy to bench away from home against the best defence in the league.

    6. Magumbo
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Doherty, Son, Rashford to TAA, Maddison, Higuain look like good moves?

      1. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Not convinced by Maddison or Higuain

      2. EMBOLOFAN
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        seems good

      3. AndyCook
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Maddison doesn’t convince me, Higuain not that special at his price for me

        • Ziyech on the Bench
          • 6 Years

          Yep brought higuain this week had a great game

      4. Tcheco
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        I can't bring myself to transfer Sane out. He's well rested, has WAT coming up & Pep is a troll

        1. Richd
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          I mean if that’s what you think don’t let someone talk you out of it. As long as it’s the last one and you have to drop ahead of blanks.

        2. MTPockets
            5 years, 8 months ago

            This time next year Rodders...

          • Viper
            • 14 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            God bless your patience 😆

            Can't be classed as 'rested' if he has clearly been dropped and not first choice

            1. Tcheco
              • 7 Years
              5 years, 8 months ago

              He's definitely dropped. I just feel like Pep would start him vs Watford ahead of Champs league because he's not first choice if that makes any sense :/

          • Dannyb

            • 11 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            I've got him and Son and will play them then take Son out for Mane. Sane will become Sterling after the blank

            1. Tcheco
              • 7 Years
              5 years, 8 months ago

              Same here. Thinking those 2 to Mane/Hazard & Brooks/Fraser.

              Richarlison won’t always be on the bench, Maddison is hardly tearing it up

            Anyone else thinking of playing Eliteserien Fantasy again?

                Folks getting a BOU striker in vs HUD, or sticking with Rashford vs Arsenal?

                Tempted by the former.

                  • 6 Years
                  5 years, 8 months ago

                  not much in it imo. if wilson was fit and firing would say go for it but youd have to get king

                  • 5 Years
                  5 years, 8 months ago

                  It’s away to huddersfield though.
                  Rashford easily scores against arsenal

                    5 years, 8 months ago

                    Arsenal are decent at home so wouldn't be so sure.

                    1. EMBOLOFAN
                      • 6 Years
                      5 years, 8 months ago

                      not at the back

                      1. AndyCook
                          5 years, 8 months ago

                          Arsenal better at the back lately I think.

                    I am going former. Questions is whether to play safe with King or punt it with Wilson. Does anyone know why Wilson wasn't in Bournemouth squad v City? If not risked then you would think his minutes would be managed for next couple fixtures

                  3. Richd
                    • 12 Years
                    5 years, 8 months ago

                    I’ll be getting Brooks, but it’s all team dependant really.

                    My frontline is Kun Jim and Barnes

                    Barnes I need for 31+33
                    Kun I wanna keep this week
                    Jiminez value tied up

                    So can’t get King this week personally even though he’s a great shout

                    5 years, 8 months ago

                    Not for Rashford but I’m doing Auba to King this week.

                    1. AndyCook
                        5 years, 8 months ago

                        Assume you have plans for the money longer term because Aubameyang surely has a greater chance of scoring this coming weekend?

                      bournemouth are terrible away

                        • 6 Years
                        5 years, 8 months ago

                        Huddersfield are terrible in general except when they play Wolves

                          5 years, 8 months ago

                          Terrible at scoring not so terrible at defending of late

                      I’d keep rash, although I do own king. What’s to be seen is - will Bournemouth attackers actually get points away from home? The fixtures are fantastic but look at the complete lack of returns for the mids brooks/Fraser in away matches.only Callum has decent returns in away games in the beginning of season

                      I want King, would require shipping out Son though.....

                    Defender for gw30 and 31:
                    A) Bournemouth - likely Clyne?
                    B) West Ham - Rice / Diop?

                      Thinking Smith as playing in mid

                      5 years, 8 months ago

                      West Ham look a little better defensively so look a good shout

                    Evening. Does anyone have a spreadsheet/list of doubles and blanks over the next few weeks. All this planning chips is spinning me in circles.

                    So I thought I was clever benching Doherty for Pereira before the deadline after hearing the news he likely would be benched. Then Doc finished with a 1 point cameo and i’m thinking great.

                    Who would have thought a day later I would rather have Doc’s 1 pointer from the bench 🙁

                      v bad luck, but only a point in it

                          It’s only 1, should/could have been a lot more.

                      Agonised between Doherty and Lascelles with the news. Both got the same anyway. One them weeks 😀

                        It really is just one of those weeks. I mean it’s been just one of those months for me.

                          I mean I’d say you made the right choice with the information you had. No keep plugging away and the points will follow

                          Save this week then Agüero, Pogba and Digne to Higuain, Mane and TAA?

                              Will probably keep Digne as he plays in 31.
                              Will take out Kola for TAA

                          Hopefully Brighton or Spurs’ stadium push another DGW on us in 36.

                          I’d be patient. No real rush to be honest. There will be a week and you’ll just know it’s time and you’ll be confident with that captain

                          GW38 can be crazy high scoring if that time never arrives, but I bet it does !

                          And I’m sure half my work ML will when they see the fixtures 😀

                          What’s your GW 33 plan?

                            5 years, 8 months ago

                            Plan is to hope for a few more fixtures and get 8 or 9 out.

                          Will have at least 10 players for 31 as things stand so 32 for me as well

                          Me, i'm all ready for FH 31. I will have 9 DGW players by GW32 with a -4 hit with two Liverpool players.

                          How about you?

                            Yeah I'm better set up for double 32 and blank 31 so just going for it now. I think the fixtures in 31 lend them selves very well to a free hit.

                        Dgw 32 could be quite loaded if things turn out as they seem. Triple United and City look essential

                          Ederson sterling Kun
                          Lindelof Pogba Rashford ?

                              Laporte maybe?

                            How is this team for a hit?

                            Pereyra + Danilo -> Brooks + TAA (-4)

                            Who do you reckon is the best defender to get for 30, 31 and 33 (Liverpool excluded)?
                            A - Rice
                            B - Chilwell
                            C - Lascelles
                            D - Luiz
                            E - anyone else?

                            Tempted by Rice

                              Ake? At least he is nailed.

                            Any news on Vardy. Didn't see the match but he's flagged?
