Vardy party continues ahead of even kinder fixture run

Leicester City 2-0 Arsenal

Goals: Jamie Vardy (£9.5m), James Maddison (£7.4m)

Assists: Youri Tielemans (£6.6m), Vardy

Bonus Points: Vardy x3, Çaglar Söyüncü x2 (£4.8m), Ricardo Pereira x1 (£6.3m), Maddison x1

Goals from Jamie Vardy (£9.5m) and James Maddison (£7.4m) helped take Leicester City to second in the league and the pair ever further into the hearts and minds of Fantasy Premier League managers worldwide.

Since losing, narrowly and unluckily, at Liverpool in Gameweek 8, the Foxes have become something of an irresistible force, so it felt almost inevitable they would sweep aside an Arsenal team far from being an immovable object at present.

The only surprise was that it took Brendan Rodgers’ men nearly 70 minutes to find a way past Gunners goalkeeper Bernd Leno (£5.0m).

When they did, it was with a slick team goal to warm many a Fantasy heart, involving four of the side’s most owned players.

Tielamsn provided the assist for Vardy’s goal against Arsenal

Maddison and Ricardo Pereira (£6.3m) exchanged passes on the right, allowing Youri Tielemans (£6.6m) to burst into the box and centre for Vardy to guide the ball home.

Of the quartet, only Tielemans (9.4%) does not have double-digit ownership in Fantasy Premier League (FPL), and that is surely only a matter of time.

The Belgian has two goals and as many assists from the last four Gameweeks and shared top billing with Maddison for both attempts and chances created against Arsenal. His £6.6m price tag makes him slightly better value than his midfield partner, although Maddison edges it for overall points scored, by 62 to 57.

The England man notched his second goal in three Gameweeks to secure the win against the Gunners, rifling home from the edge of the area following Vardy’s lay-off. Only Liverpool and Manchester City players are now ahead of him in FPL’s midfield scoring charts, with all four of them considerably more expensive.

Maddison and Vardy have both offered great value in recent weeks

As for the game’s highest overall scorer, it’s… Jamie Vardy.

He has 11 goals for the season, eight of which have come in the last five Gameweeks, and two of his three assists this campaign have arrived since Gameweek 10.

Much has been made of the striker’s relatively low shot total. He’s had 25 attempts – a figure matched or bettered by 13 other forwards – but delve a little deeper and you’ll find only three have had more big chances than his 12 this season.

Add Vardy’s clinical finishing to Leicester’s dynamism and creativity and 92 FPL points are the result.

Rodgers was understandably happy to praise his striker after the match.

“He is up there with the very, very top strikers in European football with what he brings to a team, his pressing. We’ve allowed him to do essentially what he wants to do – he’s so honest, he’d press the whole back four if he could.” – Brendan Rodgers

Pereira has been unfortunate not to get more attacking returns of late

The Foxes will face Brighton (minus Lewis Dunk (£4.6m)), Everton, Watford, Aston Villa and Norwich after the international break. Little wonder, then, that seven of the top 20 most bought players heading into Gameweek 13 (a full fortnight away) are from Leicester.

And the 21st is Pereira.

The wing-back, at £6.3m, is the most expensive route into a defence that’s kept three consecutive clean sheets and now leads the way for both shut-outs (five) and goals conceded (eight).

Pereira’s offensive threat is the reason for his lofty price tag, although he’s only produced attacking returns (two goals) in two matches this season having proved rather unfortunate.

He did earn a bonus point against Arsenal, but there are cheaper and equally cheerful alternatives to be had.

Söyüncü has been offering Fantasy managers great value in defence

Top of that particular shop is Çaglar Söyüncü (£4.8m), who has been outstanding over the last three Gameweeks, providing three clean sheets, a goal and five bonus points, two of which came on Saturday.

On another day, he could have been on for a second assist of the season when he was blatantly fouled in the box by Matteo Guendouzi (£4.7m), only for VAR to turn a blind eye based on an arguable offside call involving Maddison.

As a result, he’s ‘just’ produced the 28 points since Gameweek 10 and it is no shock to see him behind only Vardy and Maddison for transfers-in among Leicester players.

Chilwell has failed to replicate the dizzy heights of his double-figure haul at Southampton

Another defender gaining owners is Ben Chilwell (£5.7m), who brought in a monster 19-point haul in the 9-0 drubbing of Southampton in Gameweek 10 and was half a post away from scoring again last week against Crystal Palace.

He’s more than doubled his ownership, to 11.6%, in a fortnight, but was unusually quiet against the Gunners, creating just the one chance and having no goal attempts whatsoever.

Still, with those fixtures to come, owning Leicester players across the pitch, from the ever-reliable Kasper Schmeichel (£5.2m), whose 52 points has him joint-top of the goalkeeper standings, all the way through to Vardy up top, looks like an absolute no-brainer.

And such is their form at present, even a nasty Christmas double-header of Manchester City away and Liverpool at home doesn’t look beyond them, particularly as the fixtures that follow are set fair again until Gameweek 25 on the dim and distant date of February 1.

Arsenal increasingly look like a no-fly zone for Fantasy managers

As for Arsenal, they’re currently doing a fine impression of an unsettled team full of players shorn of confidence under a manager with an increasingly tenuous grip on his job. Which is, of course, precisely where they’re at.

None of that makes for rich Fantasy pickings.

Leicester fired in 19 shots, to the Gunners’ eight, on Saturday, with seven on target to Arsenal’s one.

None of that was anything new as only Villa and Norwich have allowed more attempts than the 197 conceded by Unai Emery’s side this season.

If save points are your thing, then Leno is your man. The keeper has made a league-leading 49 stops, which is seven clear of his closest rival, Bournemouth’s Aaron Ramsdale (£4.6m).

Unai Emery switched to a three-man defence for the first time this season

Emery tried to address that by switching to a back three at the King Power Stadium, with Rob Holding (£4.5m) handed a first start of the season alongside David Luiz (£5.8m) and Callum Chambers (£4.4m) at centre-half.

It didn’t work.

Arsenal were overwhelmed by Leicester’s high press, which forced them to cough up the ball in their own half time and again during a relentlessly dismal first period from the visitors.

They were at least more composed and cohesive as a defensive unit after the interval, a vague positive that Emery was keen to stress post-match.

“I know we are receiving criticism, but I have done before and I have recovered. I accept all the criticism. It is normal. Today we did one step ahead being better defensively.” – Unai Emery

Arsenal’s premium forwards have largely let their owners down of late

And things could have been so different, had Alexandre Lacazette (£9.3m) not missed a golden chance from six yards out.

The striker does have the makings of a real differential punt in the short term as the Gunners’ next four fixtures involve Southampton and Brighton at home and trips to Norwich and West Ham.

But the 1.7%-owned Frenchman is yet to score since returning from injury in Gameweek 9 and it showed when he fluffed his one big line on Saturday.

Fellow forward Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£11.0m) has eight goals to his name this season, but only one in the last five Gameweeks, Lacazette having started three of those matches.

The Gabonese international was kept to only one shot at Leicester, while having another one, which found the net, correctly ruled out for offside.

Özil has started getting back into the Arsenal team

Behind them – in every sense of the word – came Mesut Özil (£7.2m).

The midfielder was drafted in by 1,870 managers hoping he might sprinkle his mercurial dust over the fixture. What they got was one chance created and zero shots from 90 minutes of something far removed from the notion of good, honest toil.

Emery allowed the speedier and more direct threat provided by Nicolas Pépé (£9.2m) just 13 minutes against Leicester, but neither he, nor Özil, nor any Arsenal midfielder, in fact, deserves much Fantasy attention at present.

Arsenal usually find a way to score however wretched their form might be. They’ve now blanked twice in four Gameweeks and that’s as damning as the evidence gets for those – and there are now many – who want Emery out as soon as possible.

The manager is well aware of his perilous situation.

“We need to recover our confidence. We need to be patient with some circumstances, and we are going to do that.” Unai Emery

Patience is a commodity valued by Arsenal’s board, but it must be wearing very thin at present. It’s certainly even thinner among Fantasy managers as the side’s most popular asset – the 25.6%-owned Aubameyang – is already experiencing significant sales for Gameweek 13.

Even those tasty fixtures don’t look like saving him as Fantasy heads continue to be turned, quite rightly, by the riches on offer at Leicester.

Leicester City XI (4-1-4-1): Schmeichel; Chilwell, Söyüncü, Evans, R Pereira; Ndidi; H Barnes (Praet 74′), Maddison, Tielemans, Pérez (D Gray 60′); Vardy.

Arsenal XI (3-4-1-2): Leno; Holding (Pépé 77′), D Luiz, Chambers; Kolašinac, Guendouzi, Torreira (Willock 80′), Bellerín; Özil; Aubameyang, Lacazette.

    my team is spread to much. I can literally play every player. Who would you lose? Who would you improve?

    I’m thinking Digne & Mount to go next, I don’t even need a replacement could just bank the money for now, that would give me 4.5m

    I would like TAA but feel I need a big hitter like Auba but then who do I drop? Might just upgrade bench keeper ready for bench boost.

      trust me you don't need Auba. Why would you bother about atack? You got all the flavours. Ship Digne

      1. Doctor Evil
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Just feel I’m wasting money but I don’t fancy Sterling/Kun/Kane or Auba really. Maybe Salah or Son but not really liking the expensive players atm

        1. LE CHARO
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          I'm in a similar boat, with benching headaches every week after transferring in Robertson and Maddison. Don't think it's an issue though, in that season where the big hitters are not firing as much as expected, and there are plenty of mid-price options performing just as well.

          With your team, I'd save a FT and would probably downgrade Digne to upgrade Mount to Pulisic in gw14.

        Oh you’re right, my bad. But I’m still impressed he has gotten such a high rank recently

        1. beric
          • 12 Years

          Yeah, the mans a badass

  3. Aleksei

    Will not double up on Pool defence, so the question is TAA or Robbo and why?

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

      Taa. xA.

    2. potatoace
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Really no easy way to separate them.
      I'd pick TAA though. On corners and many free kicks

    3. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Robbo, he scored more today.

    4. Ask Yourself
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Double up on their attack.
      Other premiums have cack fixtures in comparison. They can’t keep CS but they are still good value. Overall on this run I think the attackers offer more though

      1. The Ejiptian King
        • 5 Years

        Stop making me doubt my plan!

        1. Ask Yourself
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          I’ve already doubled defence so you’re in a better position than me ! Save yourself whilst you can !

          1. The Ejiptian King
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 4 months ago

            You might feel differently after the next result.

            1. Ask Yourself
              • 7 Years
              4 years, 4 months ago

              Hopefully it turns around but Mane + Rico last 2 GWs far outscored my favoured Robbo + KDB

              1. The Ejiptian King
                • 5 Years
                4 years, 4 months ago

                Bournemouth fixtures don't look great, I think Rico has had his best run for a while.

                1. Ask Yourself
                  • 7 Years
                  4 years, 4 months ago

                  Aye I mean that’s who I’d have played instead of Robbo in those last two cases. I have a big rotation going on at the back. I need to look forward and not back. I need to do work rather than be on here too I bid you a good ebening

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

            Nice of you to keep others away from the double up.

            1. Ask Yourself
              • 7 Years
              4 years, 4 months ago

              Mate I really do think it was a mistake. I believed all these pro pundits that it was all adrian’s fault that liverpool conceded I want my membership fee back

      2. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Guessing you are going both salah and Mane !?!

        How bad are our hammers ....

        1. Ask Yourself
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          I wish I was mate, I went double defence but regret it, even tho Robbo has been brilliant for the two games I had him but it could have been a lot more if I went mane.

          Mate I’ve been so bored of pellegrini’s team for weeks. 3rd highest paid manager in the league and he still can’t find a solution with the quality in our team.
          If you’d have told me early in the season that by now we’d be begging for Antonio’s return, desperate for Martin to get a go in goal and that pellegrini’s dragged us into a relegation battle then I’d send you to the asylum. Beyond disappointed

          1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 4 months ago

            Oh I see! TAA and Robbo will do you well, I wouldn’t sweat it.
            To be honest I’m thinking of going TAA/Salah/Firmino as my trio.

            I just don’t know what’s going on with him. The only player that actually looked like he wanted it was Snoddy. Lanzini was on the bench again which was ridiculous, Anderson shocking again, Haller looks lost without creativity behind him, defensively shocking. It’s a recipe for disaster.

            Somethings got to change ASAP.

            1. Ask Yourself
              • 7 Years
              4 years, 4 months ago

              We need diangana back and play a front 4 of
              Haller
              Diang Snod Antonio

              As ridiculous as it sounds, we really need to go back to basics

          2. bench boost for every gamew…
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 4 months ago

            Seriously lack of pace and tempo in midfield. A bunch of flair players but not enough runners and steel. Defense is highly questionable even with fab in goal. Championship right back, one decent cb one really bad and an ageing and declining left back. Slow and immobile cm.

    5. Mr. O'Connell
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Robbo. Has a nicer accent. This is legitimate reasoning from an elite 64 manager too.

  4. Miniboss
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Best GK? On wildcard and currently have Pope.

    1. Jullepuu
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Ryan. After next game week Henderson or Ryan.

    2. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Probably Henderson but GW13 messes with that.

      I’d go Pope and hope that come GW15 you have a spare transfer for Henderson, which you will with good planning 🙂

    3. Bartowski
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Probably Sheff Utd for their good little run but he's ineligible next week.

    4. beric
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Hendo

    5. potatoace
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      Henderson, if you can hold off till gw14

    Rashford instead of Jiminez didnt pay off ,
    thinking of making the switch, yes or no?

      Rash could've hauled huge today and is home to Villa in 2 weeks.

    1. nibby
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Lunds

    2. beric

    3. In and Out

    4. Jullepuu
      • 4 Years

    Anyone thinks city will bounce back strongly against chelsea? Worth holding onto Sterling n Kdb?

    1. circusmonkey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      I am as I need to spend my transfers elsewhere and they could click and haul any week.

  19. circusmonkey
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Ok, so you put me off the losing Salah hit. Actually think I need to lose my two West Ham boys, Diop and Yarmo.
    What do you think of Chambers (decent next 3) and McTominay?

    1. beric
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Not a lot

    2. Cahill
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      awful

  20. Rinseboy
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Is Mount to Martial or Pullisic worth a -4 this week?

    Chels have city and utd are away to a stubborn Sheffield utd?!

    1. In and Out
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Not worth a hit this week

      1. Rinseboy
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        how about a 1 week punt on Richarlison!

  21. Wılly
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    4.5 GK
    TAA Soyuncu Lundstam (Rico Taylor)
    Salah Mane Martial Maddison Pulisic
    Vardy Abraham (Greenwood)

    Who is the best 4.5m GK? Gazzaniga?
    Should I keep Mount instead of Pulisic and invest the extra 1.0m elsewhere?

    I fear I may be looking into this too much, but like many here I have 2 Liverpool, 2 City and 3 Leicester (some may even have more)

    In GW18 Liverpool blank and Leicester and City play each other. Is this the time to be free hitting?

    1. Cahill
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      will be more valuable later in the season

    2. Pinturicchio10
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Looking at the rest of the fixtures in that gw.. there's not a lot going on there either...

        1. Collie01
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          This. No stand out fixtures. Probably just be a low scoring week for everyone.

      • pingissimus
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        City Leicester playing each other only matters if you have defence!

      • potatoace
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        That's going to be a problem. But most managers will have the same.

        Save your free hit for the dgw and bgw

      How do I get salah/robbo in this team. 0.1m short of Lascelles/Sterling/Rashford >> Robbo/Mane/Ings

      Pope -- Heaton
      Taa Lundy Rico -- Lascelles Tomori
      Sterling Kdb Mount Martial -- Cantwell
      Tammy Vardy Rashford

      Have 0m Itb. Should I just WC

      Any Villa fans know anything about the severity of Grealish's injury?

    5. osceola31909
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Any thoughts? Trying to decide between:

      A) Kelly to Robertson (.1 left in bank)
      B) Cantwell to Martial (0.0 left in bank)
      C) Mount to Son (0.0 left in bank)
      D) Hold

      Ryan - Button
      TAA - Chilwell - Tomori - Lundstram - Kelly
      Mane - KDB - Maddison - Mount - Cantwell
      Vardy - Abraham - Jiminez

      3.1 in the bank, 1 FT

      1. nibby
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years

        I am leaning towards A

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

      Play Janmaat or Mount?

      Pope
      TAA Lundstram Janmaat Söyüncü
      Salah Mané KDB
      Vardy Abraham Jimenez

      Button Mount Rico Elneny

      1. nibby
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years

        Janmaat

    7. MarcusAurelius
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      I really want to try and get Martial into my team but need some help on how to who to get rid of? 1FT and £0 ITB. Willing to take a -4 if necessary.

      Heaton
      Chilwell Tomori Lundstram
      Mane Sterling KDB Mount
      Vardy Tammy Jiménez

      Button A.Smith Diop Hayden

      Early Transfer thoughts.

      Pope
      TAA Soyunco Lunds | Maguire Aurier
      Mount Sterling Kdb Maddison | Cantwell
      Vardy Tammy | Maupay

      3.4 ITB. 1ft. Which move do u prefer?
      A) Maguire > Robertson (play 4-4-2)
      B) Cantwell > Martial (Play 3-5-2)
      C) Maupay > Firmini (play 3-4-3)

    9. MikeS
      • 9 Years

      Is chilwell worth the extra 1mn over soy long term?

      1. potatoace
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Long term ..probably

        1. MikeS
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Cheers have chilwell already, just frustrating seeing soy haul more for 1mn less over last few weeks. Chilwell looks dangerous going forward though, probably just a matter of time before he returns a haul..

          1. potatoace
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            4 years, 4 months ago

            Chilwell has a haul in him.
            Hes going to be a great rb. Can see him maturing well in the second half of the season.

            1. potatoace
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 12 Years
              4 years, 4 months ago

              An even better lb. Lol.

      2. pingissimus
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Nope but Pereira could be worth 1.5!

    10. Rash
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Double liverpool defence or attack going forward?

      Currently have trent and mane.

      Double defence would mean benching lundy or soy most weeks, which I wouldn't be comfortable with..

      1. MikeS
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        I'm going robbo, taa and mane

      2. pingissimus
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        In a similar position. But the winter schedule is about to bite. All the top teams bar Leicester have a really hectic programme after IB - I'm aiming for a really strong bench.
