What to do with Jamie Vardy and John Lundstram in FPL?

Az looks at two problematic players and the options available to Fantasy managers who own them.


So, after a strong 11 weeks which saw me move from a rank of around two million to 115,000, the last four weeks have seen me get a bit stuck in the mud.

In the last four Gameweeks, I’ve risen 3,000 places to a rank of 112,000. It’s hardly a meteoric rise but after a turbulent season, a bit of stability and consolidation is quite welcome.

Now we’re in February, it seems a good time to think about your targets for the end of the season. Like last year, I’m seeing good managers high in the rankings – but other veteran players are struggling. Triple captaincy success and failures, in people’s minds at least, have made or broken seasons.

But a strong finish is still possible. Coincidentally, it was after Gameweek 25 last year that I hit my worst rank of the season. Staring at a rank of 408,000, I was feeling quite pessimistic but still managed to get myself safely inside the top 100k (finishing around the 62,000 mark).

It can be tempting to go for broke when you see others’ success stories (for example, I’ve seen people rising from 300k to 80k in one week), but I feel like steady gains are key rather than chasing big hauls. With chips left to play, and 13 Gameweeks to go, even those who feel like their season is unrecoverable can still have a good finish.

I can’t see any reason why people sitting in the millions can’t realistically achieve a comfortable finish inside the top 100k if they resist the urge to take too many ‘punts’ and potentially cause more damage.

As we so often see with Fantasy Football, the times are a’changing. With high ownership comes great potential to move away from the herd, no matter what rank you are. And there seem to be two heavily owned players who we need to make a decision on.

What to do with Jamie Vardy?

As Jamie Vardy (£9.8m) scored another goal in Gameweek 18 against Manchester City, his tenth attacking return in a row, it seemed unthinkable that he would only get a solitary assist in the next seven matches.

For any with the foresight to take him out, congratulations, but owners of the Englishman have a decision to make, as there’s no doubt that Vardy’s form gives cause for concern.

Vardy seems to be suffering with a niggling injury. His stats against Chelsea and Burnley, in particular, were both really poor, with only six penalty area touches and three goal attempts in these games. His high price point and poor form are seeing him shed sellers by the thousands but at the time of writing he remains in 39.4% of squads and if you move him on for a forward who can start to deliver consistently, then this is a ticket up the rankings for sure.

A week ago, we had a pool of strikers scoring points for fun. However, Gameweek 24 made a mockery of this, with Roberto Firmino (£9.7m), Troy Deeney (£6.3m), Gerard Deulofeu (£6.1m), Glenn Murray (£5.4m) and new boy, Mbwana Samatta (£6.0m), the only recognised FPL forwards notching returns.

However, high hopes for other strikers, such as Raul Jimenez (£7.7m), Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£10.8m), Danny Ings (£7.0m), Sergio Aguero (£12.0m), Tammy Abraham (£7.7m) and even slightly more left-field options like Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£6.1m), showcase the potential that getting the three “right” strikers for the coming weeks.

For me, if I could pick three strikers going forward, I’d go for Ings, Jimenez and Aubemeyang (making sure I had a suitable replacement to come in for Gameweek 28).

Ings has blanked in his last three games, but with matches against Wolves and Liverpool, plus a 20-minute cameo away at Crystal Palace, this perhaps isn’t too surprising. He’s remained a threat throughout and 14 penalty area touches, ten goal attempts (with nine in the box) and an xG of 1.59 tells me that he hasn’t lost his way. With a great run of fixtures to come, and a modest price tag, he seems a great pick.

Jimenez is a player who I sold a few weeks ago and while his replacement (Firmino) has done well, the Mexican is calling out to me. There are few strikers as consistent as Jimenez: he has registered attacking returns in 14 games and seems to tick over each week.

I know some grow frustrated with his lack of “big” hauls (he does actually have three double-digit returns this season), but it’s important to remember this is a £7.7m striker. Barring injury, I’d say he’s a keeper from now until the end of the season.

While Firmino is performing well in my side, I am conscious that Sadio Mané (£12.2m) and Andrew Robertson (£7.0m) may have a part to play in my season, and so am casting my eye enviously at owners of Aubameyang, who is back from suspension and made it through a tricky game away to Burnley with a blank –  which I hope will put new suitors off.

The Gabon international – in my view the front runner for the Golden Boot – plays some of the leakiest defences in the league over the next seven Gameweeks, with home games against Newcastle, West Ham and Norwich all looking particularly inviting. I’d be amazed if he didn’t score some serious points in these weeks, and I wonder if Mikel Arteta will look to use him more centrally with rotation on the cards for the likes of Gabriel Martinelli (£4.6m), Nicholas Pépe (£9.1m) and Alexandre Lacazette (£9.3m).

What to do with John Lundstram?

As a late arrival to the Lord John Lundstram (£5.1m) party, I perhaps don’t view him with the same regards as some of you reading this article. I can’t deny that the former £4.0m FPL defender has shone this season, with his 21-point haul against Burnley a frankly legendary reward for owners, but the writing has been on the wall for a few weeks now.

One of the main reasons I avoided Lundstram at the start of the season was because of the amount of competition in the midfield for Sheffield United, and as he wasn’t even first choice when they were in the Championship, I sensed that only an incredible run of form at the start of the campaign would mean he kept his place – which is of course exactly what happened.

However, recently Lundstram has been off-form, subbed in two matches and then relegated to the bench for the next two. The signing of Sander Berge (£5.0m) adds further competition to midfield and rumours of contract disputes with Chris Wilder continue to rumble.

Praise for Lundstram’s contribution from the bench did not go unnoticed by his army of followers but with Sheffield United having a superb run of games, it seems vital to be moving forward with at least one defender in your ranks.

For those with Dean Henderson (£5.0m), perhaps Lundstram’s current situation is less of an issue. But for those with just the Lord, I think now is the time to thank John for his points and pack his bags.

The trouble is, Lundstram’s fellow ‘defenders’ possess almost no goal threat.

Enda Stevens (£5.1m) and George Baldock (£5.1m) both cost a bit more if you have owned Lundstram since the start of the season, and if you are after goals, I wouldn’t hold your breath. Over the last six Gameweeks, they have had three goal attempts between them.

While Baldock only has two chances created to his name, Stevens has six, and looks the better option from the stats and my own “eye test”. The centre-backs, while a bit cheaper, are even less likely to score you points outside of clean sheets, with only one assist between the three of them.

But it’s clean sheets which seem to be Sheffield United’s forte, and £4.5m for a defender for a team that loves a 1-0 win still seems a bargain. Stevens would still be my pick if you can afford him, but for those with Lundstram and Henderson, I would be tempted to stick with the Lord and hope he regains his place. I still feel like he offers something that other players in the team do not, and if he does get his contract sorted, may yet have a part to play in our squads and seasons.

    Is the bench too weak?

      Very good. Not at all too weak

      1. Man Chest Hair United
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers mate. Will probably go kun down to Vardy and upgrade somewhere in 28

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

      Planning to lose Kun for Vardy 28?

    3. Alan The Llama
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I'd take Fleck over Barnes until gw28

    4. ted mcnure

    7. Matjes_taet
      • 6 Years

      Would go with Aaron Mooy over Hayden and Stephens (SOU) over Taylor.

  2. Dr. Agabuse

    Since Klopp was almost giving up on the Fa cup, do we think he will field a youthful side and lose away to Chelsea?

    1. Gentlemens club

      Liverpool Ladies

    2. Dr. Agabuse

      Without Pool, there is no way to create a nice team for 31.

      1. Klaren
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        3 Everton, 3 Wolves, 2 Burnley (Pope/defender and Wood), 2 Watford (Foster/defender and Sarr/Deeney), 1 Norwich attacker should be good enough if you are free hitting.

        1. Dr. Agabuse
          • 11 Years

          Yea but i meant wighout FH

        I think we should say F it and let the kids win the FA Cup. Really send a message to the world.

        1. have you seen cyan

    1. Greenwood >> Ings
    2. Grealish Greenwood >> Mahrez Ings [-4]
    3. DCL >> Aguero

    Thanks all

    1. Dr. Agabuse
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I would Greenwood to Auba this and play him over Lund

  4. Dr. Agabuse
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Bottomed

    Cheapest GK is McCarthy 4.4 and no one else is that cheap, right?
    As soon as hes 4.5 i will be priced out of a second GK for 28 next to Henderson, who i wanna ideally keep but could also turn into a 5.3 from GW28

    1. Dr. Agabuse
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      What 5.3 would be best?
      Loris?
      Dubravka?

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

      Or is it foolish to lose my only Sheffield player.
      I wish MC Carthy wouldnt rise

      1. HashAttack
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        I'm wishing he would rise so that I can upgrade him to Pope

        1. Dr. Agabuse
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Haha. He will probably rise next week when it wont help either of us

    3. Man Chest Hair United
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Get Mccarthy or maybe Leno

      1. Dr. Agabuse
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Lemo doesnt even have a game

        1. ted mcnure
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Not sure I fully understand your predicament, but I'd love to have Hendo and McCarthy, if that's your option..

  5. Big boy Bowen
    • 7 Years

    2. Will Pogba or Fernandes be the #10?

    1. Dr. Agabuse
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Fernando

    2. Klaren
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      1- Not before March, maybe April
      2- Fernandes was playing deeper with 1st half Pereira and 2nd half Mata in #10 vs Wolves.

    3. Bushwhacker
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      For Juventus ... not till next season.

      1. SADIO SANÉ

  7. Dr. Agabuse

    If i get Doherty for Lund (currently starting him bc of bad alternatives), i would have DCL imand not Ings.
    Initially planned on getting Doherty next week and Ings for DCL this week.

    So whats better this week
    DCL Doherty
    Ings Lund/Taylor

    The first team would allow me to
    get Ings next week and
    with the 0.5 i could get McCarthy for Martin in Gw28 to have a playing GK

    1. ted mcnure
      • 13 Years

      You need Ings

    Oh god. Whatever I do I’ll regret it. Problem with a WC is at some point you have a high scoring player. It’s constant stick or twist but inevitably you’ve had the points in the line up and you’ve flapped about and they’ve gone by the time the gw starts.

        Wilder on Lundstram: "I thought the performance of John and [Lys] Mousset when they came on (v Palace) was just typical of their attitudes. Lunny has been out for a couple of games but he came roaring back and the togetherness of the group was first class."

      is anyone going to cap KDB this GW? I think I might, but not sure.

      1. SH
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Not a bad shout, Salah might get limited minutes due to CL

        1. have you seen cyan
          • 4 Years

          nice to have a cap in the first set of games as well, re injury news etc

          1. SH
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            Yes. I am currently on Auba(C) KDB(VC), might captain Salah but KDB will remain vc for this reason

        always tempting
        only 1 goal + assist in his last 5 home games putting me off....but West Ham stink
        Equally so do Norwich!

        1. have you seen cyan
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          yea I think most will cap Salah and Mane

      3. Soto Ayam

        Yes

    5. SH

      Lund to?

      A) Egan/Basham
      B) VVD (also have TAA, Salah)
      C) Save FT, Martial+Vardy > Mane+Jimenez next week

      1. FPL Theorist
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        B

        No point not having 3 Pool

        1. SH
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Mane could be a nice differential from next week. But VVD is more nailed - dilemma

          1. FPL Theorist
            • 4 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            If it works for you, then go for it! I just found that despite a rather high TV, having Mane + Salah in the DGW forced me to play some rubbish enablers.

            1. SH
              • 9 Years
              4 years, 1 month ago

              I think i can field a decent team even after having both. But my only concern is Klop might prioritizes CL and rest Salah and Mane more, having almost winning the PL. Cheers for the reply anyway!

      McCarthy
      Trent, Rico, Robbo
      Salah, KDB, Son, Grealish
      Maupay, Aguero(c), Calvert

      McGovern - Tanganga, Kabasele, Dendoncker (0.0ITB)

      What would you do with 2 FT's here? I have a feeling most will say Maupay out... but I think he's worth one more week at home to Watford. If he's dropped then Tanganga coming in for him wouldn't be the worst thing ever.

      I'm looking towards my defence but wondering if I should hold onto Rico and Kabasele for GW31. Is that looking too far ahead or would it be sensible to keep?

      1. SH
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Nice mid. Maybe Robbo>Gomez and use the money to get Ings or upgrade defense. Robbo>Egan and Son>Mane is another option for future

    7. Atters
      • 9 Years

      Going to play my wildcard next week just for the fact I want to keep Aguero and Vardy for this gameweek. No funds for any real moves so shall I move Pickford - Henderson for this gw or just roll the transfer?

      1. SH
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        If you are sure you would wc take a punt on any player you can afford for a player you would surely lose on wc

      Which one better:

      a) Haller to Auba
      b) Haller+Traore to Martinelli+Son for -4

      1. Dr. Agabuse
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        A by a mile.
        Martinelli might be Limited and Auba is a major pick

    10. FPL Theorist
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Who else is planning to keep Auba through BGW28 and just bench him that week?

      I need to sell 3 players with blanks by then, but think I will just sell 2 DEF + 1 MID.

      1. SH
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        I think I will along with KDB. Will sell one of Lund or Grealish, and play Hayden if needed

    11. Tsparkes10

      Thoughts? 2ft 0itb

      Hendo
      TAA Robo Lund
      KDB Salah Martial Alli
      Vardy Maupay ings
      (Martin, Cantwell, Rico, Williams)

      1. Atwood
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        I’m a Maupay and Martial owner and not happy with either. Maupay is the more pressing concern.

        1. Tsparkes10
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Cheers, I'm unsure on both. Decent fixture for Maupay If he starts

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

        After Wilders comments, do we think Lund might start this one?

        1. Tsparkes10
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Could v well do, was great when he came on

          1. Dr. Agabuse
            • 11 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            but it could also just be a motivator to keep the tension high. fairly unusual to play the new guy so fast in such a position like DCM and didnt he play well too? So he might keep the place and Lund as a motivated more offensive impact sub option? it seems far more likely.. also what's with Besic?

            1. Tsparkes10
              • 5 Years
              4 years, 1 month ago

              Yup. Agree with both. Honestly no idea who's starts tbh. Wouldn't surprised with same team but mcgoldrick and mousset upfront. No idea with besic, guessing a slight knock. Will see more players missing out on the bench now as got slightly better depth. Headache for Fpl but lovely for me as a fan. Stevens v tempting for me

    12. Atwood
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Thanks to Salah(C) my rank is actually far better than this team suggests. A lot of dead wood, might take my first hit of the season. Any ideas?

      1FT and 4.8 spare.

      Henderson
      Soyuncu - TAA - Kelly
      Cantwell - KDB - Salah - Martial
      Vardy - Maupay - Ings

      Button - Rico - Lundstram - Dendonker

      2. Dr. Agabuse

        Play Lund ahead of Soy

        1. Dr. Agabuse
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Or maybe Rico ayayay

        Cant to Traore, Kelly to Robo
