Is now the time to sell Leicester City defenders?

Having recorded just one clean sheet in seven league matches, Leicester City defenders are not quite the attractive options they were during their autumnal purple patch.

Three of the Foxes’ first-choice backline are indeed among the top five most-sold Fantasy Premier League defenders of Gameweek 23 at the time of writing.

Jonny Evans (£5.3m) is the only Leicester defender to have registered an attacking return over the last seven Gameweeks, meanwhile, and the loss of key midfielder Wilfred Ndidi (£5.0m) to injury would seem to further dent the clean sheet prospects of Brendan Rodgers’ side.

With some Fantasy managers already losing faith, are we rushing to judgement about the Foxes’ defence?

In this article, we look at some of the key underlying data in our Members Area to see if Leicester’s wider defensive numbers have dipped during their recent run.

      Was on pitch for 15 mins before coming off, not sure what it is exactly but doesn’t look good.

    Rashford out making Robo in more tempting for this gw

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

      Surely it opens up the 2nd mid option now?

      1. Threat Level Midnight
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Mane is the only Mid worth owning

      2. Tsparkes10
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Didn't have him. Just meant in terms of robo keeping a Cs

    What's happened to Rashford ? Fabianski last week. Rashford this week. So many -4s.... It really is season over it seems

    1. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy

      If only it were then you might stfu

    2. Top Lad Dakes.

      Don’t make your moves early then?

      1. Fudgy
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        ? Had no choice with no keeper

    3. Threat Level Midnight
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      You complain more than my wife. You're not the only one suffering. Man up

  8. Rainer

    Rashford will be fine for Sunday.

    He wouldn’t miss it for the world.

  9. Niho992

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

      He was injured before tonight.

      Even more so now, it seems.

  11. Gizzachance
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Thoughts guys
    Best keeper fior 1 Pope or 2 heaton
    A Ryan
    B McCarthy
    C Henderson ( have Lund)
    D other
    Cheers

  12. Top Lad Dakes.
    • 7 Years

    Nice owning you Rashford. Thanks for making me decision for me and making it easy to get that third Liverpool player.

    (Surely can’t keep him now eh?)

  13. Big boy Bowen
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    A or B?

    A) Mane & Digne
    B) Salah & Sidibe/Soyuncu

    Thanks

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

    Would you just bench Rash and play Lundstram this GW? Or is this the perfect excuse now to do Rashford > Ings.

    hmmmmm.....

    1. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Surely the latter. I was selling Jimenez for Ings otherwise

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

        Yeah i reckon so too. At least this way Ings will stop scoring as well once i bring him in.

    2. Niho992
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Rashford would blank anyway at Anfield. 5-0 incoming

      1. George Sillett
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        I hope you're right if Salah and Mane share the goals.

        1. Niho992
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          You have both ? I have Salah(C) so i would be happy if they share

          1. George Sillett
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            Yes . Not sure about captaincy though.

            1. Niho992
              • 5 Years
              4 years, 2 months ago

              i dont have KdB. Have Sterling and Vardy but dont fancy them

              1. George Sillett
                • 8 Years
                4 years, 2 months ago

                I've got KDB and Vardy and very much think that they are big players this GW.

                1. Niho992
                  • 5 Years
                  4 years, 2 months ago

                  agree for KdB

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

        Hope so! 😉

    3. Threat Level Midnight
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      If you don't already have Ings in we cant help you.

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

        True, probably the worst decision i've ever made in FPL not doing Tammy > ings, but how was i to know an ageing made of glass player would do that lol. Now could be the perfect time.

  15. SHOOTER MCGINN

    What's happened with Rashford? Is he fine?

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

      His manager subbed him on already being injured.

    2. Champions League Varane
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Went down injured was on 15 mins before having to be subbed off not looking good I suspect he won’t play vs Burnley but I don’t think he would kiss the Liverpool game for the world...!

      1. Champions League Varane
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Miss* major fail 🙂

    3. El Presidente

      Injured

  16. TeddiPonza
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Bottomed last page:

    Current team:

    Fabianski Button
    TAA Soy Lundy Kelly Rico
    Salah KdB Martial Grealish Hayden
    Vardy Rash Jimi

    2FT and 1,6m in bank.

    The original plan was to do Martial and Rash to DCL and Mane this week but Fabianski injury is making that decision more difficult. Would you stick with it and play without goalkeeper this week and address Fabianski situation next week or do something else?

    Thanks.

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

    That Rash injury can’t hurt Liverpool’s chances of another cleanie on Sunday

    1. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Do you have any Pool defenders then?

    2. George Sillett
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Looking that way.

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

      Those types of games cab have a habit of becoming a bit feisty. Anything could happen.

  18. George Sillett

    United fans leaving early to catch their flights home.

  19. jg7u
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    I will get one in this week, which one?

    A) Maupay (Better fixtures)
    B) DCL (Better stats)

    1. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I had same choice and went DCL . Would rather back Ancelotti’s Everton than Brighton

  20. Danno - Emre Canada
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    No other keeper. For a -4 Fab out for Ryan or McCarthy or just not have a keeper? How did I get myself into these situations?

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

      Ryan decent fixtures + likely CS with villa on the weeknd

  21. HurriKane
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Rashford has suffered inevitable back injury from carrying man united on his own the whole season.

  22. Monkey Hanger
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    No doubt OGS will be his usual helpful self with the Rashford injury update, at his presser.

  23. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 13 Years

    Traore limping

  24. Top Lad Dakes.
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Spread over 2GW, for the double to give me Salah Mane Trent, how does this sound? Leaves a bit ITB.

    Rashford Jimenez Maddison —> Ings DCL/Maupay Salah

    First move to be done this week. Team linked 🙂

  25. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years

    Greenwood start against Burnley next week then if Rashford is out injured.

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

      A lot of if's but most likely if that was the case

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

      Is he out for that long?

      1. how now brown cow
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Shane long?

  26. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Traore subbed

  27. Can’t beat em so&hell…
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    What do I do?

    I’ve got Fabianski (McGovern at 4m too) in goal and no FT and no money.

    Do I leave him there and hope he’s back in a week or change for a -4?

  28. DAZZ
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Actually makes my life easier. Rashford > Ings is a no brainer, also helps fund Mane 🙂

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

      indeed

      1. Niho992
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        didnt you say you want to save Rashy for Burnley ? He would blank vs Liverpool anyway

  29. joeyc_33
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Think I’ve finally decided I’m going double Liverpool defence for 24. My question is do I do

    Abraham > Ings this week or next week to fund Kelly > Robertson?

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

    Flag for Traore.

    He finally gets something for his owners!
