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.

    A. Sidibe + Grealish
    B. Sidibe + Fanderson
    C. Stephens + Maddison
    D. Stephens + Martial
    E. Stephens + Dilva
    F. Williams + Richarlison

    1. Snevitz

      I would narrow it down to A or D.
      A bit worried about Martial's output if Rashford is out.

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

      A or E for me

    3. Regin
      • 6 Years

      a perhaps

    Anyone taking a punt on Haller from this gameweek, through the double then the Brighton game and then get rid??

    1. Snevitz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Not for me, horrendous dgw fixtures.

    2. Tsparkes10

      He's awful. Never mind the fixtures

    3. Rhinos

      may do, kinda cool to have 6 dgwers

    5. Yank Revolution
      • 12 Years

      No sirree

  3. Snevitz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    4 years, 2 months ago

    The possible Rashford injury has prompted me to consider my options going forward.
    How does this look for the double onwards?

    McCarthy
    TAA (TC), Robertson, Van Dijk
    KDB, Maddison, Martial, Grealish
    Aguero, Vardy, Ings

    Lundstram, Williams, Traore, Button

    Lundstram starts week 25 (Ings vs liv), 26 (Maddison vs wol), 27 (Maddison vs MCYl) and 29 (Martial vs MCY)

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

      Looks solid, bold with 3 Liverpool defense

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

      Not sure tbh. Not keen on Madi and Vardy double up and maybe even Martial after gw25 due to fixtures. Even Aguero could be rotated still. What's your current team?

      1. Snevitz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Current team

        McCarthy
        TAA, Van Dijk, Chilwell, Lunstram, Rico
        KDB, Maddison, Martial, Grealish, Traore
        Vardy, Rashford, Ings
        £3.9m itb

        other options are
        Traore & Rashford to Salah & DCL
        or
        Traore and Maddison to Salah & Dendoncker

  4. Little fekirs
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Tammy or Jimenez out for Mané ?

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

      Flip a coin.

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

      Jimi for me

      1. nolard
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Agree.
        Wolves don't create enough chances for Jimi.

  5. Athletic Nasherbo
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Hanley >Williams or Lascelles?

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

      Williams if you have 4 playing defenders

      1. Athletic Nasherbo
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        TAA, Lundstram, Holgate, Webster

  6. Lav
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Start 1:

    A. Lundstram - ARS (A)
    B. Holgate - WHU (A)

    Start 2:

    1. Grealish - BHA (A)
    2. Cantwell - BOU (H)
    3. Jimenez - SOU (A)

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

      b2 or b3

    2. FCSB
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Have you seen Ancellottis comments that the defenders will be rotated and Holgate maybe rested this weekend?

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

    A) Aurier to Williams (bench this gw)... Gives me 2ft next week to decide on either Perreira to Robo or bring in Salah.

    B) Aurier, Perreira to Williams, Robo this gw.

    1. Snevitz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Leicester's fixture is good this week and you get more flexibility just doing the one transfer.

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

      A

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

      A with the fkex

  8. Mr. Mystic
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Are people planning to use triple captain GW24 or hold?

    (A) yes, GW24
    (B) hold for future

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

      Undecided, but leaning towards hold.

    2. Snevitz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      100% using, a double Liverpool gameweek is the perfect time to use it.

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

      hold. 2 away fixtures not appealing. atleast 1 should have been at home.

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

      Hold. Low scoring away fixtures in my book.

  9. Salah’s Sonnet

    Hey guys, team is:

    Henderson
    TAA - Evans - Robertson
    Maddison - KDB - Mane - Martial
    DCL - Rashford - Vardy
    ___________________________
    Button: Lundstram: Kiko: Dendoncker

    1FT, 0.0 ITB

    Just deciding what to do with Rashford. This has to be the xcuse i was waiting for to do Rash > Ings doesn't it?
    Plus this is the only way i can get Ings to stop scoring 😉

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

      I'd wait but Rash to ings looks good. Then can easily save next gw.

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

        Hiya mate, yeah i'd probs like to wait but Rash against pool was hardly ever gonna hail, but an Ings against a tired Wolves side, that could be great 😉
        True though, could easy save next GW as well, cheers.

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

          Meant wait for presses but ings is rising so yh. Do it 🙂 I'm most likely going with a similar side for DGW and will have 2ft coming out of it which will be v nice for the fixture swing

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

            Sorted. Yeah, Ole isn't the most informative, and i know he probs wouldn't chance Rash against a feisty Pool, could do him further damage.
            Yep cool, if i do it, i'll save transfer the following week and like yourself will likely have 2FT's comout of out of DGW 😉

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

              Ole is completely unreliable or basically a known liar. Whatever he says about Rashford ignore, if he's remotely fit he'll play.

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

      Get INgs and call it a night. Good side.

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

        Hey cheers buddy, think it has to be done 😉

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

      I only have seven of your players!

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

        Really mate? Would it be 8 if i bring Ings in? Who are your others? 😉

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

          yes if u include Ings my other 7 are Gaz, Mccarthy, Soyuncu, Rico, Salah, Maddison and Jimenez,

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

            *Dendoncker not Maddison

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

              Sorry my bad again. Let's do this again. If u include Ings my other 7 are Gaz, Mccarthy, Kelly, Soyuncu, Rico, Salah and Jimenez,

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

                Haha no probs. Yep some good fringe differences there. having both Ings and Jimi for that clash could actually be great thing, just hope it's lively at both ends 😉

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

              Ahh, was gonna say, i have Maddison hehe. Decent enough then. i plan to switch kiko to maybe Williams, and possibly Martial/ Maddison to someone like Sarr or Son down the line should he pick up form.
              Arghh! Gonna do Rash > Ings now, exciting!

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

                My team is:

                Gaz Mccarthy
                TAA Soy Lund (Rico Kelly)
                Maddison Salah Mane KDB (Dendoncker)
                Jimenez Ings Vardy

                1 FT

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

                  very nice side, hope the double mids fire for ya over DGW. In fine shape to save the free transfer as well.
                  I may very well use some of the left over cash for the rashford sell to do button > McCarthy in preparation for bench boost down the line as well.

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

                    Cheers mate. Have managed to build my team value over the season which has helped me to get this squad of players.

  10. AdamJ91
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    A) Salah & Ings
    B) Son & Firmino

    1. Snevitz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      A

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

        A

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

      A by a country mile.

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

      Lol
      Salah Ings.
      Salah Firmino
      Ings Son
      Son Firmino

      in that order

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

      What are you talking about son?

    5. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Have to say A this week but B could be a huge diff for 24 on.

    6. Yank Revolution
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      A all day playa

  11. Dr. Agabuse
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    What do Pool fans think about Gomez place.
    Is it his place to lose, will he be rotated?
    When are Matip and Lovren back?

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

      *heard already that Matip is in training

    2. internal error
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      His place to lose. Might get the odd rotation. I think he is safe for 24. Matip to start in the cup

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

        Yea but if its a transfer waiting to happen, i'll go TAA instead

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

      he is a decent but not nailed & extremely boring option. either u want a CB who have a possibilty to score headers or a full back with a chance to get assists.

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

      Gomez is solid now I think ; I don't think Matip will play outside of cup games. Maybe some rotation in the CL.

          Traore may be injured fwiw.

  13. Kane Train
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Anyone think mane will play both games in gameweek 24? Most likely will feature off the bench for one of them

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

      he'll start both games it's a virtual guarantee

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

      Both, he might be missing 7 mins each

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

      I'd say it's more likely for reduced mins if anything rather than a non start.

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

        This. Will come off if the game is won ; likely the same with Salah.

    4. Regin
      • 6 Years

      klopp is not pep

  14. Lignja
    • 6 Years

    Pope, Martin
    Taa, Soyuncu, Lundstram, Rico, Kelly
    Mane, Kdb, Son, Traore, Dendoker
    Abraham, Rashford, Vardy

    Should i do
    A. Rash to Ings now and than Rico to Robertson next week (exact cahs) need Ings before price rice

    B. Rash to Ings this week+ Son to Salah next week

  15. Tsparkes10

        1. Tsparkes10
          • 5 Years

    Lascelles or Williams?

    TAA, Lundstram, Holgate, Webster

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

      doesnt matter as other 4 options are all good. lascelles probably

      1. Athletic Nasherbo
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Leaning to this too. Nailed and most likely will play in the blanks in 31.

  19. 1912 F.A Cup Winners

    Rank in order of who you think is the best option folks........
    A- Deeney
    B- DCL
    C- Maupay

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

    2. GreennRed
      • 12 Years

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

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

      Yes. Well depending on Rash's injury outlook . . .DCL's massive 2 pt haul in the last two weeks is a bit concerning . . .

    why do people say country mile? 1 mile is 1.6 km but what is a country mile?

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

      means by a distance!

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

        yeah but what is it literally? or just a saying?

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

        google says this

        The term for a distance longer than anticipated was originally an Essex mile, later changed to country mile. A country mile is a mile but travelling a mile in the country is more of a challenge than a mile in a town because of the terrain

    2. fgdu
      • 10 Years

      we had this before i swear. Its because a country mile seems like longer as there are more bends in the road, scenery etc
