Maddison owners wait on injury as Son delivers again

Leicester City 2-1 Tottenham Hotspur

Goals: Harry Kane (£11.0m) | Ricardo Pereira (£6.0m), James Maddison (£7.1m)

Assists: Son Heung-min (£9.6m) | Hamza Choudhury (£4.5m)

Bonus Points: Maddison x3, Kane x2, Pereira x1

Leicester City emerged victorious over Tottenham Hotspur in a 2-1 win as Mauricio Pochettino’s side let yet another lead slip in the 2019/20 campaign. 

After a disappointing result mid-week against Olympiacos, the lunch-time kick-off at the King Power Stadium presented the perfect opportunity for Spurs to banish their demons and return to winning ways in domestic competition. 

Yet Brendan Rodgers galvanised the Foxes to come back from 1-0 down and secure an important victory in front of their home fans in the East Midlands. 

Maddison scored Leicester’s winning goal on Saturday afternoon

Ricardo Pereira (£6.0m) got the first of the Foxes’ fightback, drilling a shot past Paulo Gazzaniga (£4.4m).

But it was James Maddison (£7.1m) who stole the headlines with a fine strike from distance to secure all three points for Leicester as they rise to third in the table. 

Maddison’s credentials as a mid-priced midfielder with goalscoring threat are well documented after his exceptional debut Premier League season in which he scored seven goals and registered seven assists to record a total of 137 points. 

He has shown promise in recent weeks and finally delivered with his excellent Gameweek 6 goal combined with maximum bonus points.

Maddison was certainly due a goal, having already gone close twice against Spurs. He tested Gazzaniga with a curled effort from the edge of the box in the first-half, followed by a dazzling run, beating two defenders to then have his shot pushed wide of the near post shortly after.

His performance in the victory over Spurs once again underlined his potential value to managers looking for a differential midfielder (11.3% ownership), although they should tread easy for now.

Maddison owners will have to wait on his ankle injury over the next few days

Maddison picked up a potentially worrying ankle injury late in the game, triggering some concern after the full-time whistle. Leicester had used all their substitutes by this point so nobody was able to replace him. However, rather than come off and leave the Foxes with 10 men, Maddison elected to spend the final five minutes of the match standing virtually still inside the centre-circle. We will certainly need to pay close attention to Rodgers’ next press conference.

“I’ll go and see it now, there’s a little bit of worry but we’ll see.” – James Maddison

“He took a heavy knock on his ankle, so we will see how he is tomorrow.” – Brendan Rodgers

Both Jamie Vardy (£8.9m) and Maddison looked sharp throughout the lunch-time kick-off. The centre-forward was unable to build on his goal-tally of three so far this season, but the 31-year-old’s incisive, troubling runs into the final-third suggest this is still a player with the ability to excel under Brendan Rodgers in 2019/20.

The likes of Youri Tielemans (£6.4m) and Ayoze Perez (£6.1m) were also lively in the final third, with the Foxes continuing to apply pressure and test the Spurs’ backline in the second half.

This victory means Leicester have now lost just once in six Premier League games this season, and the plethora of exciting, attacking options provides managers with mid-price options moving forward.

Yet while this was a victory that underlined Leicester’s attacking credentials, it was an afternoon that served as a timely reminder as to just how fragile Spurs’ defence can be in the face of considerable pressure.

Spurs capitulated for the second time this week as they lost at Leicester

The mid-week capitulation against Olympiakos combined with letting a two-goal lead slip against rivals Arsenal serve as a concerning back-drop to this latest poor result.

Serge Aurier (£4.9m) did display his attacking prowess with a fine strike that was ruled out by VAR but Spurs simply do not look sturdy enough to justify investment in defence, although they were short Hugo Lloris (£5.5m) whose wife had just given birth.

Furthermore, there will be many that argue they were unfortunate to see their second goal ruled out given how marginal the offside call was, and the impact on the two sets of players was stark. While Spurs were dealt a blow of losing out on a goal, Leicester were spurred on as if they had found the net themselves.

“We need to say that when you get the benefit, it’s not getting the benefit, it’s fair or not fair, offside or not offside. I’m not going to talk. I’m only going to say that we all accept that system in the game and now I am not going to complain. I am going to accept that maybe if you are going to say it’s offside or wasn’t if it wasn’t clear, but I trust in the referees and if the referees say it was or wasn’t I’m not going to complain.” – Mauricio Pochettino

Kane’s finish against Leicester was a hugely impressive effort

Harry Kane (£11.0m) did open the scoring for Spurs with an exquisite improvised finish, after Son Heung-min (£9.6m) delicately laid off the ball for the striker.

It was a truly impressive finish as he was fouled by the defender but still kept enough composure as he fell to the ground to control the ball and crash it into Kasper Schmeichel‘s (£5.0m) net from the ground. 

Whilst premium strikers such as Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£11.0m) and Sergio Aguero (£12.2m) have stolen the headlines with their rampant goalscoring streaks in recent weeks, Kane’s performance in the defeat to Leicester was a reminder to managers that the England captain is still able to provide goalscoring returns. 

It must be said that Kane was unfortunate not to come away with an assist on top of his goal. It was his pass that set up Aurier’s goal, ruled out for an offside against Son in the build-up.

But given the explosive performances that the likes of Aubameyang and Aguero have been consistently delivering, it is difficult for managers to select a forward such as Kane when he is not matching their goalscoring consistency.  

Son has delivered in both of his last two matches ahead of an appealing run of games

For Son, who built on his brace against Palace with an assist, this was a game that highlighted the South-Korean’s attacking abilities and a performance that rewarded those managers who brought in the forward for Gameweek 6. 

With games against Southampton, Brighton and Watford to come in their next three, Son is starting to display form that would warrant inclusion for managers, having recorded attacking returns in his last three Premier League appearances – the most of any Spurs player. 

This was a heavily disappointing defeat for Spurs, but the growing viability of Leicester’s attacking assets simply cannot go un-noticed for managers given their exceptional form under Rodgers in 2019/20.

    2. ZeBestee

      Casually looking at the safety score every gw, last season I went out at gw11. Hopefully I will stay for longer this season.

  3. Coaly
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Best defender up to 4.4 except Lundstram?

    Already have Mings so not interested in Guilbert

    Kiko is an option but they have conceded the most in the league

    Will Rico / Kelly play?

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      If Kelly starts tomorrow with all their CBs back fit, then I'd be looking at him.

    2. ZeBestee
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Guillbert maybe. Looks failry nailed and fixtures are nice.

      1. Coaly

        Please read my post

        1. ZeBestee
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Kelly maybe, but I dont see him playing with Tomkins, Sakho and Cahill in contention.

    3. dunas_dog

    5. ZeBestee
      • 9 Years

      If Kelly doesnt play, 70 with TAA and Mane. At last something to smile about.

  5. RUUD!

    Who’s the best defender to have outside of City and Pool? Thinking Tomori for value and good fixtures.

    1. Here's Tom with the We…
      • 12 Years

      It’s between him or Soy for me

    2. F4L
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      all this Tomori talk and Chelsea are yet to keep a CS 😀 Prefer 4.5s from teams that set up to defend, rather than Lampard's philosophy of attack attack attack.

  6. I Member

    4 years, 6 months ago

    Bottomed.

    How would would improve this WC team?

    Pope, Button
    van Dijk, Otamendi, Soyuncu, Lundstram, Rico
    Sterling, De Bruyne, Son, Mount, Dendoncker
    Kane, Abraham, Pukki

    Would love to have TAA instead of VvD but 0.0 ITB.

    1. goriuanx
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Nice. Could downgrade Kane to fund TAA.

      1. I Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Maybe but Kane is a placeholder for Auba who I want from GW8.

          • 6 Years

          Then why waste a transfer? you got Son for spurs cover. I would go straight for Auba.

    2. n14mul
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      Drop sterling for either mane or salah

  7. Ser Davos
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Does that make it the last 16 goals City have scored, Sterling's not been involved?

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Yes. 2 in 20 pr something

      1. Up the tics
        • 8 Years

        I can wait but id rather catch the price rise

  9. DAZZ
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    I firmly believe KDB is the best player on planet earth behind Messi and Ronaldo. He’s up there with Mbappe. He is so unique, there’s no one else like him out there that can do what he does

    1. Amey
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Agreed

    2. RUUD!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Best in his position certainly

    3. goriuanx
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Probably best midfielder in the world.

      Not sure Mbappe is currently top 3 but will be one day.

      1. Nightcrawler
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Oh dear Salah/mane not better than mbappe certainly not top 3

    4. Nightcrawler
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Not even the best in the league

      1. DAZZ
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        KDB is the best in the league without a doubt.

        1. Here's Tom with the We…
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          He is now Hazard has left. Looks like he’s a forgotten man, after leaving for Madrid.
          KDB is top ten.

    5. sminkypinky
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Imo he’s arguably one of or the best passer in the world. Reads the game exceptionally well. Scuffs a fair few shots so could be a better finisher although his goal tonight was sublime. Also his pace isn’t world class by any means. Top top player but has his caveats also.

    6. MTPockets
        4 years, 6 months ago

        apart from Lundstram of course - https://streamja.com/agmJ

      • Flaming Flamingo
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Neymar is above KDB and Mbappe for me.

        1. DAZZ
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          I disagree. Neymar is class, but i’d take KDB and Mbappe over Neymar

          1. The Overthinker
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            I agree.

            Mbappe is better than neymar

          2. Flaming Flamingo
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            Neymar is the second most well-rounded attacker in the world for sure. He's one of the best playmakers and dribblers in the world, yet his goal and assist output is still very high as well.

        2. Brosstan
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Neymar is nowhere close to KDB. Neymar isnt even top 25 players in the world

          1. Here's Tom with the We…
            • 12 Years

            Surely no one gonna take the bait to this??

        Kalvin Phillips says hi!

    7. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      At the end I am happy. All depends on Salah. KDB vice would have the best however it is what it is..

      Lads is KDB better captain then Sterling from now on? If that is the case then Sterling value is questionable

      1. DAZZ
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Wouldn’t necessarily say he is a better option than raheem, but i think we are at a point now where it isnt Sterling v Aguero for the captaincy, it is Sterling v Aguero v KDB, he has to be considered with the other 2.

        1. FPL Daniel
          • 14 Years

          Thanks Dazz

      Lose Barnes or Jota for Abraham?

      1. The Overthinker
        • 7 Years

        Why do you still have jota?

      2. Wiseguy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years

        Jota should have been gone, so get rid of him first. Barnes next week

        1. TheDragon
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          The case for keeping Jota 1 more week is that he has Watford next GW

    9. The Overthinker
      • 7 Years

      Probably my first every green arrow of this season 😀

    10. goriuanx

      4 years, 6 months ago

      Pulled the trigger.

      Pope
      TAA Soyuncu Tomori
      Salah Sterling KDB Son Cantwell
      Abraham Pukki

      🙂

        i wouldnt go with that defense but great attack.. Liverpool fixtures are atrocius for the mid term.. lei aint keeping many cs and tomori is rotation risk central..

        1. Pacer.
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          I wouldn't trust Liverpool fixtures to make the slightest bit of difference to their FPL returns right now.

          And tbf Leicester have an incredible run of fixture and have been close to keeping cleans.

        I can get that exact team with a -4. Considering doing it! Presuming it's Button, Lundstram, Rico, Greenwood as the benchies.

        1. goriuanx

            Have you seen the game tonight? How was Maddison? is he worth bringing in for the superb run?

            1. Brosstan
              • 9 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

              Maddison is Leicester's best player and its not even close. Rodgers should accomodate him, not Vardy

      9. Brosstan
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Its good but its the kind of team where Im left wondering "why did you have to WC to get that?". Seems like a team that most could make with a -8

    11. Chenku╰☆╮
      • 9 Years

      Lund is now the top scoring FPL defender.. should we just get 5 of him?

      1. Tsparkes10
        • 5 Years

        Kevin de Lund*

      2. ZeBestee

        There is only 1.

      3. Pacer.
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Always seems to happen this way doesn't it. People downgrade defences then Liverpool go keep 4 cleans in a row and rake in attacking returns and everyone's left with floppy d**k of a back line

      Happy with a decent score this gw after a terrible start to the season. Was mainly patient but now will take a risk or 2 every other gameweek. My team;

      Pope
      Aurier TAA Kelly Lundstram Hanley

      Pick 3

      Pukki Tammy Kun Auba

      Looks like Pukki could regress.

      Auba fixtures are stellar

          I think he has the form and fixs to justify inclusion.

        I would go TAP, just because I prefer Ota, Raheem and Kdb.

      If you were wildcarding and had a striker spot for 11.0, would you;

      A. Go Kane (SOU) this week. Sell for Auba next week.

      B. Just go for Auba (mnu) now

      1. The Overthinker
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Kane

      2. Shatner's Bassoon
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Just Auba.

      3. F4L
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        unless you're gonna captain Kane, just go Auba

      4. Longlatini
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Auba

      5. Rewant-WantToWinEverything!
        • 9 Years

        Save transfer. Get Auba straight away.

      6. jtreble
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        I would go “not Kane”.

      Think I'm gonna ditch Sterling, fuming

      1. The Overthinker
        • 7 Years

        For whom?

      2. Wiseguy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        He will punish you if you do...

        1. Manani
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          with so many good option in that price range (auba, aguero), I'd say the points will be similar

      3. n14mul
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years

        You know everyone will sell him and then.......he will get a hatrick next game.

    17. Gudjohnsen
      • 7 Years

      So Greenwood not in squad tomorrow 100 percent?

      1. Rainer
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Never 100% till teams announced, looks to be 80%.

      2. Longlatini
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          • 9 Years

          Wasnt on the bus. Which means 99% he wont feature

    18. Orion

      Is this guy Tomori from Chelsea going to be nailed ? I need 4.5 def

      1. Rainer
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Not when/if they revert back to 4 at the back.

        1. Orion
          • 13 Years

          Cheers mate

    19. Gudjohnsen
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Is Son, De Bruyne, Sterling, Salah midfield too much?

      1. F4L
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        you can't have too many points

      2. n14mul
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        What strikers would you have

        1. Gudjohnsen
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Pukki and Haller

      3. Rewant-WantToWinEverything!
        • 9 Years

        I have Son KDB Sterling Mane midfield, so.. I would say go for it man!

        It’s what I’m trying to get. Looks tasty!

    20. Bouncebackability
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Hindsight and all, but Sterling captainers hugely jammy, the risk was clearly there. So many with KDB vice that’s sickening, especially for actual KDB captainers.

      1. TorresMagic™

        • Has Moderation Rights

        It's not that many.

        1. Bouncebackability
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Is it not?

            • 14 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            In LMS, about 750 did out of 1900 odd though.

      2. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        meh, what ya gonna do

      3. Tsparkes10
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Vice is huge. Most people ignore it but got me a nice 17 extra points hehe. Not as lucky as some though... No Rico or Lund on my bench for Sterl

      4. Shatner's Bassoon
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Isn’t there a history of Sterling missing out entirely quite often when he’s benched?

        If both start, Sterling has the higher ceiling so the risk/reward is mitigated by having KDB vice.

        Still fortunate, mind.

      5. Viper
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Only 2.6% have that combo

        1. Bouncebackability
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Still! I can’t imagine what that feeling must be like ha

      6. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        There is something to be said for Sterling (c)'ers understanding that if he's benched he rarely comes on. But yes, jammy.

      7. JabbaWookiee
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        I stupidly went for Salah as my vice so hopefully that should ease your anguish

      8. XabiAlonso
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Ups and downs mate. My first VC to come on at all for 4 years. Had plenty of 1 point cameo captainers

    21. Tsparkes10
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Happy I didn't wildcard 🙂 would've defo lost Hendo and Montoya... And hopefully save it for IB

    22. mccormibar
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Don’t normally ask advice but I am mulling a -8 as I have the exact money to do these moves. I normally go with patience but I feel these moves would really boost my team and allow me another 6-8 weeks without having to wildcard. What you think?

      Heaton Button

      Coleman Sokratis Montoya Cathcart Lundstram

      Sterling De Bruyne Mane Pepe Mount

      Haller Kean Greenwood

      Kean Coleman Cathcart > Otamendi Tomori Abraham

      Otamendi Abraham potentially rising tonight would not be able to do so afterwards

      Thanks

      Likelihood of Daniel James getting zero minutes tomorrow?

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Low likelihood

          Well then there goes another gameweek. Absolute joke of a season. This far. Not enjoying it one bit.

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 6 Years

            Low likelihood but you never know!

              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 9 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

              Let’s hope he is not deemed fit and is just a spectator. Or plays and gets a brace.

    24. Bouncebackability
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      If Farke said Krul couldn’t move properly, how bad is that? Assuming they had a sub keeper on the bench, you pick the keeper who can move freely no?!

    25. Manani
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Sterling no show means a KDB VC and Lund coming in from bench.

      love me some jammy points

      1. JJeyy
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        same, wonder how many have this as hoping it will lead to rank increase

        1. Manani
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          half of my team already played and those 2 are the only one more than 2 points. not sure about rank increase for me lol

      4 years, 6 months ago

      Digne, Matip, Greenwood to Rico, Soyuncu, Abraham for - 4?

      Switch to 343 needed I reckon. Other defenders TAA, Otamendi, Lundstram.
