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.

    2. chaser123
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Rico also probably not playing?

      1. FPL Emu
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        True. Defence still not the aaaabsolute worst this week though

        Doherty (sou) - Lundstram (ars) - Dunk (AVL)

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

    Which one of Vardy or Rashford would you sell for Firmino
    If Leicester get past Villa in the cup, Firmino would have 6 games from 24-28 whilst Vardy 4...

    1. Moose™
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Firmino not a rotation risk? Origi might have some minutes?

      1. FPL_Crisis
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        I do agree especially the saints game straight after the double which is short turnaround

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

        firmino is not rotation risk but vardy def better option

  5. Moose™
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Bottomed.

    Lads, which is the best plan going forward?

    Ryan (Button)

    TAA Soyuncu Lundy (Stephens) (Simpson)

    Mane KdB Alli Grealish (Cantwell)

    Vardy Rashy Tammy

    A. Alli Tammy Vardy >>> Son Ings Firmino (-4)

    B. Soy Alli Grealish Tammy >>> BWilliams Salah Hayden Ings (-8)

    C. Soy Alli Tammy >>> Robbo Martial Deeney (-4)

    D. Soy Rashy >>> Lascelles/Cathcart Firmino

    Appreciate any inputs. Thanks a lot.

    3. Moose™

    4. Karhumies
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Tammy to Ings, any defender to Gomez. Keep Rashford. Alli to Richarlison later if possible.

      1. Moose™
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        All of the moves can be done next GW?

        Tammy has Newcastle next.

  6. Shark Team
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Play Lundstram this week?( Considering auba's red card plus the fact that he is gonna be benched by millions of ppl)

    My other options to play are
    Aurier and Rico.

    What to do?
    Thanks

    1. Moose™
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I played Stephens ahead of him.

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

    Which one, if any?

    A) Guaita > McCarty/Ryan
    B) Targett/Rico> Holgate/Williams

    On a WC - anything that should be changed?

    McCarthy (Foster)
    Taa Gomez Dunk (Lunds Williams)
    Mane KDB Rich Grealish (Dendo)
    Vardy Ings (A)guero

    1. kamdaraji

      Just your t-shirt if it's sweaty

    2. Wag the Drog
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Do you have a plan for when Kun starts getting rotated?

      1. Eat my goal!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Figure City are chasing and he's their best striker - he plays like he did at the beginning of the season

        That said when Rash returns - he's a perfect option and Gomez can then become Robbo

    3. FPL Emu
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Gomez -> some decent defender

      Vardy -> Firmino

      Thank me come gw25

      1. Eat my goal!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah I like Firmino as an option for the double but it could easily be a disaster too

        Gomez is a good defender, just lacks the ceiling of say robbo or vvd. That said over the last 6 he has outscored them.

    4. vityovics
      • 5 Years

      Wow g2g

    5. Reiger

        Thanks man, GL to you too!

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

    Rashford is one of United's top ballers and he will always give 100% , therefore he stays in my team no matter what the injury duration

    1. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      You'll keep him if he's out for the remainder of the season?

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

        You dont understand love

      2. Fudgy

        Yes because I'm not believing anything ole says

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years

  10. Mr G
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Triple pool with double attack locked in ✅

    1 FT...

    A) Traoré > Maddo (0.1 off Rich

    1. Mr G
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      ffs post cut off?!

      1 FT...

      A) Traoré > Maddo (0.1 off Rich 0.1 off Rich but not worth burning 4 to shoe in)

      B) save & play Cantwell (bench Traoré)

      First to 3 wins!

      Cheers all

      1. SHOOTER MCGINN
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Definitely play Cantwell. I'd play him over anyone you can bring in at that price when he's up against Bournemouth

  11. Rhodes your boat
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Arsenal appealed the auba red card and failed?! Surprised they even bothered trying

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

      they thought it was worthy of a pink card not a red

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

        What's a pink card ?

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

          It’s the same as an orange card

  12. FPL Maldini
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    I never do transfers early but really want to do Fabianski to McCarthy before he rises

    Do you reckon it's safe to do it now or should I just wait until the Friday pressers?

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

      I did it

    2. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      safe

  13. Wag the Drog
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    a) Rash, Maddison -> Ings, Salah (-4)
    b) Rico -> Robertson free

    Have Mane, TAA already.
    Other Strikers: Tammy, Vardy

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

      B

    2. mcginnntonic

      1. Wag the Drog
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        That's actually what I'd be doing.

      2. Wag the Drog
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        so it would be a hit to bring in Ings this week

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

          hmm wait for rash pressers, don’t think that’s worth taking the 4

  14. vityovics
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Correct (bench) order?
    1) Lunds (ars)
    2) Greenw (liv)
    3) Connollly (AVL)

    1. Wag the Drog
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      132 for me

    2. mcginnntonic
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      if rash is out maybe start greenwood

      No.

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

      1-week punt

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

      Best straight swap for Traore , if he is out.

  17. DMP
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years

    For -4, Rico and Traore to Cantwell and TAA?

        1. DMP
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          0,1 short of a straight swap of Rico to Robbo. :/

  18. Champions League Varane

  19. kamdaraji

    4 years, 2 months ago

    Williams nailed?

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

      I don't think he is yet but he really should be.

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

        can't get him then even though he is 4m

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

          Shaw might take his place when fit

        2. SHOOTER MCGINN
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Worth the risk at 4m IMO

      2. Eat my goal!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years

        This

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

        He 100% should be but I think think he is (yet!)

        1. Champions League Varane
          • 5 Years

          Don’t*

    Planning on selling traore this week with my 1 ft. Got 8mil for midfielder..

    A) anderson (so gave him for double gameweek)
    B) martial
    C) Maddison
    D) keep traore and save ft

    1. gooner_112233445566
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      E) other options

    2. Mr G
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Same situation... 0.1 off Rich grrrr

      Tempted by Maddison for short term but would rather bench Traoré, save transfer and do a double move to get Rich (slight upgrade IMO) next week!

  21. Ci Siamo
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    If Rash is out a few weeks then there is definitely scope to fit in Mane and Salah with Greenwood as a starter in our teams

    1. Moose™
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Based on recents comments by Ole, I do not expect Greenwood will start most of the matches..

      1. TLF

          Hoping Rashford to be ready for next match. Yet, notice, hoping.

  22. Captain Beefheart
    • 10 Years

    Bench Cantwell or Madison?

    1. Hits from the Bong
      • 5 Years

      Cantwell for me

      1. Captain Beefheart
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Yes I usually bench cheaper option but Cantwell home against BOU got me thinking twice, cheers

    2. SHOOTER MCGINN
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Maddison.

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

        Yes, Cantwell more like to score (source: bookies)

  23. jia you

    Rashford + Trossard to Maupay + Mahrez seems sensible on WC all of a sudden?

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

        Going with Vardy too

        Burnley have been dreadful of late and Palace may just sit back..

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

          I think that suits city at the Etihad - they just build pressure and sneak through. Best form of defence against city is attacking but I don't see Palace giving them any trouble

      2. Hits from the Bong

    Rashford + Martial to Ings + Salah for free?
    Would still have Traore and Jiminez double up.

      • 6 Years
