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.

      Maddy - Greally - Inggy all max baps?

        Get the tissues ready!

        1. Jafooli

          😎

          1. Chucky
            • 10 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            😛 great couple of GWS for yah... back in it...

      2. TRIPOS TOPPER
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        yes

  2. Ibra
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Kane + Dendoncker -> Ings + Martial a no-brainer? This means I have to bench Grealish next week:

    Gazzaniga
    TAA - Lundstram - Rico
    Salah - KDB - Maddison - Martial
    Vardy - Ings - Abraham

    Button - Grealish - Willems - Kelly

    And after that I have a couple of options to get triple Liverpool before their dgw:

    A) Maddison + Abraham + Willems -> Mane + Greenwood + 4.2 def (-4)
    B) Abraham + Willems -> Greenwood + Robbo

    1. Karhumies
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Watch Martial play this GW first. Burnley was not a very good team to assess ManU strength against.

      1. Ibra
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Of course I will watch

        1. Karhumies
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Sarr is an alternative. Great form, great fixtures if you don't think Spurs defense is tough to break.

  3. JJeyy
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Alli to Grealish or Perez?

  4. davies
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Keep Jimenez?

    1. JJeyy
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      He's a Man City merchant

    2. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 8 Years

      Newcastle next at home

      Did Jimenez to Tammy missed all of Jimenez points switched back and now it’s the other way round

      1. OverTinker
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        exactly same for me 🙁

  5. Jafooli
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Anyone else do Soy > Aurier a few weeks back?

    Missing out on much fun....

    1. Rash
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I did that on wildcard and went for schmeichel.. not proving to be great value

  6. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Romeu to Choudhury easiest most boring transfer of the season for me

  7. Firminooooo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    I got Peped with Aguero benched. Thats it. No more City, just KdB. I will never learn.

    1. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Hardly surprising with the gap between games for a player returning from injury

    2. Regin
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Aguero always rotation risk.

  8. HD7
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    1 FT, 1.9 ITB

    Kasper
    TAA Lundstram Kelly Rico
    KDB Maddy Salah Mane
    Ings Vardy

    Subs: Button, Dunk, Greenwood*, Hayden,

    Greenwood to DCL?
    (+)DCL has the fix and hopefully the form
    (-) Benching becomes difficult

        • 5 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Yeah

        Grealish coming in for vardy too - nice bit of jam

    2. Rash
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      40 from 5 here hoping mane VC starts

      1. Eat my goal!

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

      So lucky with Grealish off the bench. That decision deserved punishing

  10. have you seen cyan
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Aurier, 4th highest for bps. Thats how bad Spurs were, 11 Auriers

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

      I’ve doubted Auriers ability but never how good he is for BPS 😉

    2. Gimli son of Gloin
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Level with Brighton as worst Spurs performance I've seen in the last few years

      1. jimmyabs1987
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Yep as a spurs fan it’s kind of heartbreaking how bad that was as I don’t see any answers and worry all players will just leave!

  11. Gudjohnsen
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Do I want points from De Bruyne if I haven’t captained him?

    1. TheDragon
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Nope

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Not for overall rank.

    3. Rash
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I prefer points

    4. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Well yes, but only if your captain beats his score

  12. Kushal
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Was thinking of Kane & madders > Kdb & rashford (-4)

    But now with kane out should i just do Kane > aguero ?

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

      Even though he hasn't started today? I'd probs just do Kane to Rash or Jimenez

      1. Kushal
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        But i really want kdb i dont know how to get him now. Madders and grealish both performed. Maybe kane and martial > kdb and rashford (-4)

  13. Eleven Hag
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    How has Alli looked today?

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

      Back to normal.

      1. Eleven Hag
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Thank mate - Was there any Mou Moaning too? If so, it means time to sell him

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

          Mou YC 😆

          The mask is slipping, again.

          1. Eleven Hag
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            hehe expected it, he was close to it against norwich....now he will start blaming the likes of Aurrier

    2. Amey
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Awful.
      Keeping him though as he'll be OOP now with Kane possible hammy

      1. Eleven Hag
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        ohh was he injured...sheet

  14. BEEZUS
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    What to do with Alli... might be more attacking with Kane out but Spurs look so poor

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Pool next = sell

    2. Tinkermania
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      The Spurs team always looks better without Kane.

    3. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Spurs will finally be free of the millstone that is Harry Kane

      Son is back

      Alli will be up front and on pens for 4-6 weeks now

      Spurs will blank v Pool next GW, but Alli will then go on a scoring run vs Watford, Norwich, City

    Choudhury's goal on my bench, Romeu comes on for 1 minute to block it, classic FPL stuff 😀

    1. Bunk Moreland
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      No 1, Why do you own Choudhury?
      No 2, Why do you own Romeu? 😀

      1. Forza
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        I wildcarded last week and wanted TAA + Salah + Mane + KDB + Aguero, so I had to go 4-3-3 with crap midfielders. Apart from Salah, it's gone well so far!

  16. Regin
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    How much everyone is on?

    I am 30 after bps. Kdb vc coming now.

    1. TRIPOS TOPPER
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      32

      also got kdB VC for Jamie

      + Ings, Jack and Soy
      - Alli, Aurier

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

      30 from 4 if we’re including projected BPS but nervously not got KdB VC. I went Vardy C, Mane VC so hoping Mane starts and fills his boots!

  17. Nightf0x
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    This gw is worse than the previous one until now, this doesnt apply for madds ings grealish owners

  18. Firminooooo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    31 from 4 is nice. Aguero(VC and Vardy(C) not so much.

  19. diesel001

    If KDB blanks or at least doesn't explode looks like I am through in the cup.

    Anyone else still in the cup? What you need to go through? I need Salah explosion

  29. CloudSky
    • 7 Years

    Never imagined I would do that, but Kane to Ings is a lock. Feels wrong and very right at the same time.

  30. Niho992

    42 points and 4 to go incl Lundstram who wont play maybe. No C too...
    Need Mane and KdB blank for good GW.
