Vardy cleared for EFL Cup semi-final action ahead of Gameweek 25

Jamie Vardy‘s (£9.9m) chances of involvement in Gameweek 25 continue to increase as Brendan Rodgers gave an update on Monday afternoon.

The Leicester City manager was delivering his pre-match press conference for Tuesday’s EFL Cup semi-final second-leg against Aston Villa and explained that Vardy has a good chance of involvement.

While Rodgers is not confident the centre-forward will start at Villa Park, he is confident of including Vardy on the bench at least. All fo that points towards heavy involvement when Chelsea come to the King Power Stadium on Sunday – particularly ominous in the wake of 375,000+ transfers out ahead of Gameweek 25.

“He’s in the squad. He’s worked very hard. We’ll give it another day and we’ll see if he can start. If you’re asking me if he’s 100 per cent, he might be 80 per cent. It’s about the further risk of injury, but I’m confident he will play some part.” – Brendan Rodgers

Rodgers also confirmed that Nampalys Mendy (£4.3m) and Wes Morgan (£4.1m) will miss the trip to Aston Villa.

Those who opted to cover West Ham’s Double Gameweek with Robert Snodgrass (£5.2m) or Arthur Masuaku (£4.2m) will indeed be sweating over David Moyes’ next press conference.

That’s because both players missed out on the Hammers’ FA Cup exit to West Bromwich Albion on Saturday.

However, Angelo Ogbonna (£4.5m), who was assessed for a back problem ahead of the meeting with the Baggies, was involved, featuring as a second-half substitute for Fabian Balbuena (£4.3m).

John Lundstram (£5.1m) owners may have further cause for concern after Sheffield United’s 2-0 win at Millwall on Saturday afternoon.

Having lost his place for the Gameweek 24 defeat to Manchester City, Lundstram was once again named on the bench for the FA Cup fourth round.

Furthermore, his replacement Muhamed Bešić (£4.4m) was arguably the man of the match and capped off his impressive performance with a wonderful goal, curling an effort from the edge of the box into the top corner.

Meanwhile, Frank Lampard confirmed after FA Cup action over the weekend that Tammy Abraham (£7.7m) does not have a fracture but also revealed he did not know much of the detail surrounding the forward’s injury.

“He has been getting lightly into the water and all these things. I said yesterday that there’s no fracture but other than that there is still some swelling so I don’t know. I don’t know much of the detail.” – Frank Lampard

Amid transfer speculation linking him with Aston Villa, Olivier Giroud (£6.6m) was absent from the Chelsea team that beat Hull on Saturday evening – but Lampard has confirmed the Frenchman’s absence was injury-related.

“He had a tiny, tiny feeling in his groin yesterday. It was my choice for him not to travel.” – Frank Lampard

Laporte in action for Manchester City

Aymeric Laporte (£6.3m) was not involved as Manchester City thrashed Fulham 4-0 at the Etihad Stadium but Pep Guardiola was quick to allay any features of further injury, insisting that the player is just being eased back into regular action.

“He had some fatigue, which is normal after 4 or 5 months. We are not going to take risks. Until we feel he is ready, he won’t play. If he can play against United, he can play.” – Pep Guardiola

However, Riyad Mahrez (£8.5m) and Joao Cancelo (£5.2m) will be assessed after their involvement against Fulham.

“Riyad recovered well from his kick and Joao had a big kick with some injury on his ankle. We will see how they recover in the next days.” – Pep Guardiola

Todd Cantwell (£5.0m) was one of three Norwich players to miss their win at Burnley through injury.

With Ben Godfrey (£4.4m) suspended, the attacking midfielder was joined in the physio room by Emi Buendía (£6.0m) and Ibraham Amadou (£4.5m).

“(Cantwell) got some hamstring problems after Tottenham. Nothing too serious but this turnaround is too quick.” – Daniel Farke

Fantasy managers in possession of Cantwell will certainly need to pay close attention to Daniel Farke’s next press conference considering the number of injuries to key FPL midfielders right now.

Sean Dyche also did not risk any of his players recently affected by injuries, Johann Berg Gudmundsson (£5.9m), Ben Gibson (£3.9m) and Phil Bardsley (£4.3m) all absent from Burnley’s defeat to Norwich.

Jan Bednarek (£4.4m) returned to full fitness for Southampton’s 1-1 draw with Spurs while Jannik Vestergaard (£4.6m) missed out with a concussion.

Danny Ings (£7.0m) played the full 90 minutes but Shane Long (£4.6m) and Cédric Soares (£4.8m) were both out with knee injuries of varying severity.

Also, Stuart Armstrong (£5.2m) joined the injury list for the Saints on Saturday, forced off with a muscle problem in the 44th minute. Moussa Djenepo (£5.2m) was his replacement, and the most likely to claim Armstrong’s place if he is not fit in time for Gameweek 25.

“(Armstrong) had a problem with the hips. I hope it’s not that bad but he’ll have a scan tomorrow and then we’ll know more.” – Ralph Hasenhüttl

Newcastle’s 0-0 draw with Oxford saw new loan signing Nabil Bentaleb (£5.0m) make his debut although Valentino Lazaro, who joined from Inter Milan, was not registered in time to play.

Bentaleb looked a little rusty in his first outing although displayed some glimpses of the skill he has been brought to Newcastle for.

Meanwhile, Allan Saint-Maximin (£5.4m) was back in the Magpies’ side after missing Gameweek 24 and was one of Steve Bruce’s better performers.

Joelinton (£5.5m) and DeAndre Yedlin (£4.4m) overcame their respective flags and both played 90 minutes at St. James’ Park.

Nigel Pearson revealed last week that Danny Welbeck (£5.8m) could play a part for Watford in Gameweek 25 while Tom Cleverley (£4.8m) and Will Hughes (£5.3m) are also making progress.

It will be interesting to see what impact these players have on the first-team at Vicarage Road as they continue their upturn in form under Pearson.

However, those still invested in Ismaïla Sarr (£6.2m) may have another transfer on their hands as there was a less than positive update on the winger.

“I don’t think he will be ready for next week, but we’ll see.” – Nigel Pearson

We will bring you the latest implications of the FA Cup fourth round results, replays and fifth-round draw on Tuesday.

    Need to WC? 1FT 0,1itb

    Button McCarthy
    TAA Soy Lund Montoya Willems*
    Mane* Salah KdB Traore Cantwell*
    Vardy Abraham* Ings

      Not dissimilar to my issue. I think you can get away without WCing tbh.

      I’d take a -4 and take out Mané and either of Willems or Abraham and then work on the rest of the defence (which is the weakest part of your team by far) over the next few.

    2. Bruin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      No you don’t. If you had 5 or 6 issues yes but no in your case. 2 or 3 changes worse case

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

      Ship Tammy and Willem

      Wait for news on Mane

  2. diesel001

    Bournemouth 1-2 Arsenal FT

    Arsenal through to play Portsmouth.

  3. Arteta
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    That will do. Clean sheets are overrated anyway, right?

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

    I might lose Lund got him @4.0

    Besic has performed well and Sheffield are on the verge of signing Berge (another midfielder)

    Reasoning is that I would have guaranteed starters - thoughts?

    1. Don Kloppeone
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      He’s on my “to lose” list but not a massive priority. Just annoying to lose so much TV but I guess on the flip side we have gained a lot also that can be used in the trade!

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

        I'd consider it a cash gain rather than TV lost. Seems like there are better options now, even within SHU

    2. Bruin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      If he does not start this week he is gone

    Mccarthy
    TAA Holgate Lundstarm Kelly

    This week - Mane/Long to Perez/Aubameyang -4

    Next week - Moura/Greenwood to Ings and 4.7m bench mid -4?

    Cheers

  6. Don Kloppeone
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    RP. No replies.

    Can I get away without playing WC? My two main options for this week would be:

    A) Mané, Soy > Traoré/ Grealish, Robbo (-4)
    B) Mané, DCL > Traoré, Aguero (-4)

    1FT 0.2itb
    McCarthy
    TAA, Lunds, Holgate
    Salah (C), Mané*, KDB, Martial
    Vardy, DCL*, Ings
    (McGovern) (Cantwell, Soy*, Williams)

    Cheers!

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

      Prefer B from your options.
      Is there any update on Mane injury? - Been offline for a few days

      1. Don Kloppeone
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Nothing particularly reliable/ definitive. Something posted earlier from Senegalese media in French that talks about him being out for 3GWs...

    2. Third Eye Vision
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Front line of Aguero, Ings, DCL is an option too. Gives you some money to spend. Second Liverpool defender etc.

      1. Don Kloppeone
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        It is an option but it feels premature now that Vardy look ok and so many have sold

        If I did A of my options I could get Kun for Vardy the following week?

        1. Third Eye Vision
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Yeah. I quite like that. I prefer Grealish over Traoré.

  7. diesel001
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Two matches now confirmed for BGW 31:

    Burnley vs Watford
    Wolves vs Bournemouth

    1. Whats the Huth
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Only Rico in my team there

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

        Same. No captaincy dilemma!

    2. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Match of the Day is going to get record ratings

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

        Pope bench keeper 🙂

    3. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Got 0 players from those teams 😮

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

      FH

      Pope
      Taylor Doherty Cathcart
      Adama Fraser Doucoure Sarr
      Wilson Jimenez Wood

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

    Ryan
    TAA / Lundstram / Masuaku
    Salah / Mané* / KDB / Traore
    Ings / DCL / Deeney

    Button // Martial / Pereira / Rico

    I'd actually planned to save a FT this week, but feels wrong to hold Mané given he'll drop (bought at current price) and will likely miss the next game anyway.

    Who do I replace him with? Grealish has BOU, but the fixtures beyond that aren't great. Fleck, but a possible blank? Others?

    Don't fancy an unnecessary -4, so ideally not two moves this one GW.

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

      I made the switch to Fleck last night, but already had Grealish. They should both do well over the next few weeks so I’d go for one of them... but not sure which I’m afraid!

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

    I think Norwich-Everton will go ahead in 31. Can't see Norwich getting through.

    Everton triple up and perhaps one Norwich
    Wolves triple up
    Watford triple up, perhaps one Burnley

    bench - Bournemouth and Norwich fodder

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

      Free-hit?

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

        yes

        I wasn't proposing taking a -44 to get those players in!

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

    Liverpool don't play until the 2nd week of the international break. Easy hold on Mane.

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

      That's what i'm thinking too.
      Is there any update on Mane?

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

        agreed

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

        None that I've heard, I didn't think it was particularly bad when he went off. More precautionary

    2. I Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Prefer double defence + Salah anyway.

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

        Agree on the double defence, but if at all possible I'll sell Salah over Mane on WC next week

  11. Fernando Torres
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    What teams are guaranteed to play in blank gameweek?

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

      WOL BOU
      BUR WAT

    2. TRIPOS TOPPER
      • 6 Years

      I love this forum - fantastic chat as ever!

      1. Ginkapo FPL

        Get bangex

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

          I don't think Dr Johnson put bangex in his dictionary
          learn English

  12. Warby84
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    McCarthy
    Alex-Arnold Doherty O’Connell
    Salah DeBruyne Son Grealish
    Aubameyang Jimenez Ings

    Button Lascelles Hayden Stephens

    This WC team looks pretty top heavy, McCarthy fixtures looking great after pool..

    Any Thoughts where to improve?

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

    No obvious Mane replacement (Have Salah/KDB)

    What about Pepe??

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

      Downgrade and get a better striker.

      Pepe is a punt too far for me

      1. Beatle
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        They've great fixtures though, no place for Auba

    2. BooYaKasha
      • 12 Years

      Son

  14. The_Fish

    Am I right in thinking last season we prepared our teams for blanks and used FH and WC for doubles?

    So much has happened since then, but I vaguely remember planning for a blank Gameweek that went terribly.

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

      Good timing - I've spewed out what I recall from last year, let me know if that's ringing any bells

    2. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Yeah, but last season the BGW fixtures were:

      Everton v Chelsea
      Bournemouth v Newcastle
      Burnley v Leicester
      Fulham v Liverpool
      West Ham v Huddersfield

      So a few decent teams that made planning possible. This year it looks like a shower of shite teams in the BGW, so FH is looking the obvious option.

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

        It's all coming back now, thanks for this. How do you plan for the second BGW then?

        Is the alternative FH 31, build a team for GW 33, WC in GW 34?

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

          second BGW should be smaller hopefully. For certain one of Liv and Che will play

          1. Now I'm Panicking
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            The second BGW will also have other matches in midweek afterwards as that midweek is a free slot at the moment. Hunch is you are probably only going to get 1 or 2 teams not playing at all in 34, and somewhere around 4 to 6 teams playing twice.

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

              Complete chaos - looking forward to it

              1. Now I'm Panicking
                • 9 Years
                4 years, 2 months ago

                Yep - maximum chaos is good for the planners 🙂

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

              Is that actually bgw or bdgw or dbgw?!? Bench boost or free hit time?

        2. Now I'm Panicking
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          That's the million dollar question! 🙂

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

    Is Richarlison likely to be fit?

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

      If he is I am going to try get him on my wildcard.

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

        With those fixtures?!?

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

          He is fixture proof.

    2. Third Eye Vision
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I bloody hope so.

  16. jaybradlights
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    So from memory, last season the well-trodden path was:

    - Build team for first Blank Gameweek (GW 31 last year?) - quite a few blanks and so quite a large dispersion in scores.
    - Wildcard the following week in preparation for the Double Gameweek which follows a few GWs later (GW 34 last year?).
    - Free Hit for Second Blank Gameweek (GW33 last year?) - more blanks than before so a Free Hit is more lucrative, especially considering the players it allows you for the following week, the Double Gameweek, where generally the players that did not play in the previous GW play twice.
    - Following a chunky first Double Gameweek, start bringing in players for the second Double Gameweek a few weeks later (GW37 last year?)

    How did I do? And does this mean that those with WC and FH left should start building for BGW 31 in a couple of weeks' time?

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

      If Liverpool aren't playing 31, building a team will be nigh on impossible unless you fancy spending 8 or so FT on Watford, Burnley, Bournemouth and Wolves players

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

        Yeah I'd really rather not do this. As Jarvish points out above the BGW 31 fixtures last year offered so much more potential for big returns. Are we leaning towards FH in the first BGW at this point then?

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

          I think so

          It's either that or write it off and prepare for a second DGW

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

        Liverpool will very likely play GW31. The team that will play vs Shrewsbury will be very similar to the one that lost 5-0 vs Aston Villa in League Cup. And even if they go through, Chelsea should beat them in the next round unless Klopp decides to play more senior players for that one.

        1. I Member
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          This. Norwich vs Everton is also likely to go ahead in GW31. Don't think it will be that difficult to plan for tbh.

    Does the cup news make it easier or harder to pull the WC?

      Yes

        I defo meant to put Mane and Long to Aubameyang and Perez this week and Moura and Greenwood for Ings and 4.7m bench Fodder next week?

      Vardy back is bad news for Perez imo.

    On WC:

    A.Gomez, Aguero
    B. Robertson, Vardy

  23. Digital-Real
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Thinking of not going Mane > Salah, instead using the cash to get Aguero in. What are peeps on her planning to do with Mane?

      I’ve done Mané to Traoré which enables me to do Deeney to Aguero next week, then Aguero to Jimenez and Martial back to Mané when he gets back is the plan hopefully.

      I feel he will be back sooner rather than later. Worse case scenario he will miss 25. Beyond that I prefer him to Salah so I’m just sticking him on the bench for now. I’ve got Aguero in. Hopefully a nice differential because of the rotation threat

    Undecided whether to play WC but what are views on this set up to go big up top (it assumes KWP goes to Southampton but got 4.5 m for that spot)

    Henderson McCarthy
    TAA KWP Lascelles O’ Connell C Taylor
    Salah KDB Grealish Traoré Hayden
    Aguero Aubameyang Ings

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

      Would he even start for Southampton? But that is a great shout mate!

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

      KWP out for Egan. Rest looks good

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

      I like it. I have 10 of those (7 of those front 8).
      KWP is the only one I'd question really.

  25. FF Dirtbag
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Thoughts on:
    Mane and Maddison out
    To
    Son and Grealish in for a hit?

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

      Nope. Just do Jack

      1. FF Dirtbag
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Mane or Maddison out though?

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

          Mads

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

    RMWCT

    Henderson Pope
    TAA VVD Lascelles
    KDB Salah Grealish Fleck
    Sergio (C) Jiminez (DCL placeholder for Ings)

    Bench:Pope,Lund,A.Traore,Stephens

    I can get a striker up to 7.4 million as a one-week placeholder until I get Ings after Liverpool

    Thanks..

    1. ted mcnure
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Just get Ings. Fine team, dirty milf..
      When you're fed up with Kun benched you can fix them..

    2. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Just get Ings and bench him, play Lund, you will want fts for blank 28.

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

        Haha! Thanks both 50/50 on rather i should get a “placeholder” or not.

        Would you get O’Connell For Lundstram?

        1. Dynamic Duos
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Baldock if could have any

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

  27. BigBillyBass
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    On WC. Who would you rather?

    A) Henderson, Baldock, Stephens, Fleck

    B) Pope, Laporte, Williams, Dendoncker

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

      A

    2. Champions League Varane
      • 5 Years

    3. BigBillyBass
      • 5 Years

      Cheers both

  28. Flynny

    Hi....any views on my wildcard please? The option is open to bench boost 26 to 29 given the fixtures or Sheffield, saints and toon

    Hendo McCarthy
    Taa robbo stevens stephens lascelles
    Salah kdb grealish traore fleck
    Auba jiminez maupay

    Maupay is an existing player and becomes ings next game week....thanks

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

      It’s the WC template so yes looks good. You not fancy Kun over Auba?

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

        Thiss

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

          Cheers. I can't afford kun

          And even I'd I could rotation puts me off

    Ben Crellins dedication and commitment to that spreadsheet is beyond bizarre, like he lives and breaths BGW’s and DGW’s. Im not complaining because they help me play this game easier. But how does he find the time and energy for it all haha? Is it his job?

  30. Warby84
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    McCarthy Button
    Alex-Arnold Doherty OConnell Lascelles Aarons
    Salah DeBruyne Grealish Fleck Hayden
    Aguero Aubameyang Jimenez

    This is as top heavy as possible, think I’m slightly tempted by this..

    Any Thoughts??

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

      How is that team even possible?

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

        Two sub-5M mids and I assume he's had Grealish and DeBruyne for a long time.
