Vardy out with reported calf problem as Moura starts for Spurs

Jamie Vardy (£10.1m) misses a second consecutive Fantasy Premier League Gameweek as Leicester travel to face Newcastle.

After taking the night off in Gameweek 20 for the birth of his daughter, the centre-forward is now absent due to a tight calf, according to the Leicester Mercury.

The local newspaper report that Vardy had a scan on the muscle in the build-up to Gameweek 21 and is also a doubt for the FA Cup third round clash with Wigan at the weekend too.

Vardy’s latest absence is expected to blow a hole in the Fantasy template once again considering that he topped both the Fantasy Football Scout captain poll and was the most skippered among the top 10,000 managers too (51.8%).

It means a second start in a row for Kelechi Iheancho (£5.7m) while James Maddison (£7.7m), Youri Tielemans (£6.4m), Ben Chilwell (£5.7m), Ricardo Pereira (£6.4m) and Çaglar Söyüncü (£5.1m) are all restored to the line-up.

Yoshinori Muto (£5.1m) comes in for Andy Carroll (£5.4m) as Newcastle set up in a 5-3-2 formation.

Lucas Moura (£7.1m) returns to the Spurs line-up as they travel to face Southampton.

He is joined in the attack by Harry Kane (£11.0m), Dele Alli (£8.9m) and Christian Eriksen (£8.6m) while Ryan Sessegnon (£5.4m) takes over at left-back.

Danny Ings (£6.6m) leads a three-man attack for Southampton, flanked by Moussa Djenepo (£5.2m) and Nathan Redmond (£6.2m).

Raúl Jiménez (£7.5m) is back in the starting line-up for Wolves, with Adama Traoré (£5.6m) and Pedro Neto (£5.0m) either side and Leander Dendoncker (£4.4m) back in central midfield after some time in defence.

Newcastle United XI: Dúbravka; Willems, Lejeune, Fernández, Schär, Manquillo; Shelvey, Hayden, Almirón; Muto, Joelinton.

Leicester City XI: Schmeichel; Fuchs, Evans, Söyüncü, R Pereira; Ndidi; Chilwell, Maddison, Tielemans, Pérez; Iheanacho.

Southampton XI: McCarthy; Bertrand, Bednarek, J Stephens, Cédric; Armstrong, Ward-Prowse, Højbjerg; Djenepo, Ings, Redmond.

Tottenham Hotspur XI: Gazzaniga; Sessegnon, Vertonghen, Alderweireld, Aurier; Ndombele, Sissoko; Eriksen, Alli, Moura; Kane.

Watford XI: Foster; Fememía, Cathcart, Kabasele, Dawson; Capouoe, Chalobah; Deulofeu, Doucouré, Sarr; Deeney.

Wolves XI: Patrício; Saïss, Coady, Bennett; Jonny, Moutinho, Dendoncker, Doherty; Neto, Jiménez, Traoré.

    Flip side of the coin is that now I can get rid of both Aurier and Kane with 2FT's and continue without any TOT players.

  5. KUN+10
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Sold Kane for Aguero (C). Vardy (VC). Do you guys think Kun will get some minutes?

    1. Dr Dream
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Yes...about 15 mins to prepare him for the cup.

    Kane and Aurier to DCL and Dunk for -4? Enables Zaha to Salah for gw23 and the double?

    1. Lazaretti
      • 6 Years

      Sounds good. Prob doing same Kane DCL move

    KDB playing the number 10, wish he was my VC right now...

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      I thought I did VC him but last minute clicked over onto Rashford apparently ... I wish

      1. Railwayman
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Rashford my vice also. He could do good against Arsenal. Fingers crossed.

    Hope that Salah gets the rest he deserves tomorrow.

  17. TheDragon
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    United’s Williams at 4.0 will he get minutes regularly?

    Aurier has to go and need to conserve cash to get Mane salah TAA triple up from 24

    1. The Ejiptian King
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Depends on team news tonight, he was man of the match against Burnley and I think he's already better than Shaw who has been overrated for years now, if Shaw starts tonight then don't go near him.

      1. TheDragon
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        If I go with him as my 5th defender I can have Ings with my Liverpool triple up - otherwise it’s Maupay

        1. The Ejiptian King
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          I was considering DCL for that, no interest? Great fixtures.

        2. One Wheels Enough
          • 4 Years

          do it

  18. Heiro
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Which goalie has the best upcoming fixtures?

    Sick of Gazzaniga!

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

      He’s been my worst transfer ever

    2. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Ryan or Foster.

      Flappy if you fancy the double (it's not pretty)

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

      Thinking Ryan with nice fixtures but not great Brighton form.

      1. Heiro
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Bournemouth have amazing fixtures but can't keep a clean sheet annoyingly!

  19. Slitherene
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Aurier, Grealish, Kane -> Holgate, Mane, DCL

    This move, for a hit?

    1. Somar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Jack Grealish, in my opinion, is a season holder. Club captain and main man. Absolute quality as well.

  20. teddypicker
    • 14 Years

    Why did I put Kane VC... time to hide behind the sofa whilst everyone else has KDB and Mane VC

  21. pingissimus

    Pre WC squad - 39 points from 4. Just down the 22 points then 🙂

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I’m glad I did Ings + 1.0 for Jimmy next week rather than going with Jimmy this week

      Fancy wolves to smash Newcastle badly now though to bounce back

      Good timing for Ings > Jimmy after another double rise in the next 10 days

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

        Yep

        Always fancied Ings to score this week. But wanted Jim long term. Feeling silly as anything right now.

        WC always a long term call but .....

  22. Chucky

  23. Lord of Ings

    Kane and Alli need to get out asap ..
    1)kane--->rashford (FT)
    2)alli--->martial
    3)Kane + Alli -->rashford and Martial for -4.
    Which one?

    Who to transfer out ahead of gw22? 2FTs, 0.4itb
    1) Tammy, Aurier
    2) Jim, Aurier
    3) Grealish, Alli
    4) Tammy, Jim
    5) Some other combo

    Already in squad: Vardy, Mane, KDB, TAA
    Thinking of bring in two of: DCL, Ings, Sidibe, 3rd Pool, maybe Traore

    1. Egg noodle
      • 14 Years

      Jim Tam to DCL Ings

      He'll show David Moyes up for the journeyman manager he is, that's for sure!

      I'm pretty sure Pep has never beaten Ancelotti. No early goal and I think Everton could frustrate Citeh.

      1. Business Cat
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Ancelotti faced Pep twice, 2 legs of a CL game. Bayern beat Barca 1-0 on their turf, then destroyed Barca 4-0 in Munich

    2. TorresMagic™

      Nah, Everton is a tough game.

  30. Railwayman
    • 11 Years

    Aurier 1 point, dear God I can't remember bringing in such a bad player as he is in my life. 3 games, 5 points from him. Never ever.

    1. Fred54

      At least it positive points this GW.

      1. Railwayman

        4 years, 2 months ago

        I guess so 😀 Will bring Sidibe probably for him.
