Rodgers offers Vardy injury update after Foxes thrash striker-less Man City

Manchester City 2-5 Leicester City

  • Goals: Riyad Mahrez (£8.4m), Nathan Ake (£5.5m) | Jamie Vardy (£10.0m) x3, James Maddison (£7.0m), Youri Tielemans (£6.4m)
  • Assists: Mahrez | Timothy Castagne (£5.6m), Nampalys Mendy (£4.5m), Maddison
  • Bonus: Vardy x3, Mahrez x2, Maddison x1

Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers thinks that Jamie Vardy (£10.0m) “will be fine” after Sunday’s hat-trick hero walked gingerly from the field of play in the closing stages of a remarkable match at the Etihad.

Vardy took his 2020/21 goals tally to five in the Foxes’ 5-2 win over a shellshocked Manchester City but appeared to be in some discomfort towards the end of the match, eventually being replaced with five minutes to go.

Both player and manager confirmed that the issue was Vardy’s hip, rather than his groin as originally reported, that was causing him discomfort but Rodgers revealed that it was an ongoing issue and something that hasn’t stopped him from playing in the past:

Vardy was even more bullish when interviewed after full-time, telling the broadcast media:

I’ve just got a slight issue with my hip, I think it’s a bit of growth in one of the bones, it just clicks every so often and just gives me a bit of pain. It’s no issue. I’ll be absolutely fine.

Rodgers was also optimistic about two other Leicester players who were withdrawn because of injury issues.

Jonny Evans (£5.5m), who was only just back from suspension and a thigh injury, hobbled off in the final 10 minutes, while Dennis Praet (£5.5m) looked in some discomfort when being replaced midway through the second half.

Rodgers said:

Jonny [Evans] felt his calf tighten up, first game for such a long time. We’re hoping that’s all it is. Dennis [Praet], we’ll have to wait and see. A sort of twist of his knee, so hopefully that won’t be too serious. Hopefully, those three [including Vardy] will be OK.

FABULOUS FOXES

Given that Leicester limped over the finish line at the end of 2019/20 with four wins from their final 17 Premier League matches, there were understandable reservations about their Fantasy assets at the start of this campaign.

They have put those concerns to bed in the first few weeks of 2020/21, however, winning all three of their games to date and racking up 12 goals in the process.

Sunday’s win over Manchester City continued the renaissance and there were eye-catching displays all over the park.

Vardy was typically sharp off the ball and clinical on the rare occasions he was on it: only Ederson (£6.0m) of the 22 starting players had fewer touches than the Leicester man, while the 33-year-old striker had only three shots on goal – and converted them all.

Two of his goals came from the penalty spot after he himself had been fouled, while his second strike was a superb flick from a Timothy Castagne (£5.6m) cross.

Considering that only four of his 23 goals in his Golden Boot-winning year came from 12 yards, he could easily trump that total in 2020/21 should penalties continue to be dished out as freely as emojis from the FFS Twitter account.

CASTAGNE DELIVERS AGAIN

Castagne has now registered attacking returns in all three Gameweeks so far and is the leading points scorer among FPL defenders by some margin, having averaged nine points per match since his move from Atalanta.

Leicester may have changed to a back five and sat a bit deeper in this match but the Belgian right-back was still given license to get forward, bombing on to the byline to supply Vardy’s second goal.

It should be said that he has created only three chances all season but both he and James Justin (£4.7m) have really caught the eye, not just for their assist potential: diagonal runs towards the six-yard box brought them goals in Gameweeks 1 and 2.

Elsewhere, Youri Tielemans (£6.4m) was excellent – it’s easy to forget that he struggled for form last season and how much of an asset his slick passing was to Leicester’s front players when Rodgers first took charge at the end of 2018/19. If he has rediscovered that form, then that can again only benefit Vardy.

The Belgian “assisted the assister” for Leicester’s second goal and it was from his through-pass that substitute James Maddison (£7.0m) won the Foxes’ third penalty, a spot-kick that Tielemans converted with Vardy off the field.

Maddison had earlier curled in a superb effort from distance to put Leicester 4-2 up.

Missing out on the points was Harvey Barnes (£7.0m) but he too caught the eye, supplying the key passes that led to Leicester’s first two penalties and looking a real threat around the hosts’ box.

A home match against West Ham is up next for the Foxes and, as strange as it sounds, this might be the toughest test for Vardy, Barnes et al to date: so far Leicester have faced the division’s worst defence in West Brom, a Burnley team missing both first-choice centre-halves and then a Manchester City outfit that played into their hands on Sunday.

The Hammers have looked uncharacteristically solid since moving to a back three in Gameweek 2, allowing Arsenal and Wolves few clear-cut opportunities in their last two games.

WHAT NOW FOR MAN CITY ASSETS?

Manchester City haven’t become a bad team overnight; in fact, this was very reminiscent of their form in 2019/20.

The Citizens may never have conceded five goals under Guardiola before but games against Norwich City, Wolves and Lyon last season were similar to this one, with their defence as capable of shooting themselves in the foot as they are racking up a string of clean sheets (they kept a league-high 17 of those in the season just gone).

Their Gameweek 4 match against Leeds could just as easily end 5-0 to City as it could 3-2 to the Whites, and that’s why our interest remains so keen in their attacking assets.

Given the ongoing injury crisis, the likes of Raheem Sterling (£11.5m) and Kevin De Bruyne (£11.6m) also face little threat of rotation at present.

With Gabriel Jesus (£9.5m) and Sergio Aguero (£10.4m) out for a month, Sterling started this game as the central striker in Guardiola’s 4-2-3-1, with De Bruyne supporting him in the number 10 role.

Time will tell if the lack of an orthodox striker blunts City’s attack but Sterling was peripheral and they created little of quality from open play, with their two goals – a Riyad Mahrez (£8.4m) howitzer and a Nathan Ake (£5.5m) header – both coming from corners.

Phil Foden (£6.6m) was borderline anonymous, eventually being substituted just after the hour-mark, while the sight of 17-year-old Liam Delap (£4.5m) being thrown on early in the second half hinted at how desperate Guardiola was.

The City boss said after full-time:

We played really good in the first 30 minutes. We scored early on but I think they defended so deep, so it was not easy. In this situation, it happened many times, we have to control the counter-attack. The problem was that we put extra pressure on ourselves to score the second or third one when they just didn’t want to play.

They just wanted to defend and play on the counter-attack and in that position, we have to be more calm. We started to think we are playing bad. We told them at half-time they were playing good, try to be patient and the rest will be in our hands, but we were not strong enough to be stable and patient.

Manchester City XI (4-2-3-1): Ederson; Walker, Garcia, Ake, Mendy; Rodri, Fernandinho (Delap 51′); Mahrez, De Bruyne, Foden (Torres 64′); Sterling.

Leicester City XI (5-4-1): Schmeichel; Castagne, Amartey, Evans (Fuchs 80′), Soyuncu, Justin; Praet (Maddison 69′), Tielemans, Mendy, Barnes; Vardy (Iheanacho 89′).

    On WC.. Best 4.5 mil defender to rotate with Lamptey for a longer term pick? (So Justin can't be included since he will loose his spot soon). Stuck between Aiyling and KWP

        Lots of their first choice centre backs are injured and they dont look that good defensively

    2. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years

        True

    3. Bleh

  8. Livinginapool - Top 100 Any…
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    Trossard, Pereira or Podence?

    I have pretty much no knowledge of any of them...

    1. Indio
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Prefer the first two, leaning towards Pereira.

      1. Livinginapool - Top 100 Any…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        What's making you lean to Pereira?

        1. Indio
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Hmmm, haven't checked the stats, just eye test thing from last match and a preference. Don't share the Podence love, and while Trossard is a really interesting pick I prefer the Baggies' man. Good luck.

          1. Livinginapool - Top 100 Any…
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            Cheers. You too.

    2. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Trossard plays for a team who likes to attack and on some set pieces so I would go for him

  9. Kragbaek
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Why is nobody doing Son to Willian? Obvious to me

    1. diabydoesgallas
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Willian is a rubbish fantasy asset. Not convinced by arsenal either

    2. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      William a troll of many years standing and Ars fixtures pretty ropey still.

    3. noquarternt
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Good differential, people laughed at Rashford and Mahrez before this week.

  10. Muchentuchel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years

    Is KDB nailed on pens?

    1. TH14 - INVINCIBLE
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      With city's lack of strikers if assume even more so

      1. Muchentuchel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        so he should be a much better choice than Bruno I guess..

        1. TH14 - INVINCIBLE
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Yes of course, but he does cost more obvs.

  11. tc93
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Tough one here lads:
    1) TAA + Prodence
    2) VVD + Barnes

    Rest of team:
    Martinez
    *** / Saiss / Lamptey (will rotate with Ayling)
    Salah / KDB / Hames / ***
    Jiminez / DCL / Ings

  12. ryacoo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Son/Werner to:

    A) DCL and Bruno
    B) Jimenez and Mahrez/Rash

    1. Bleh
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      A

    2. Indio
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Tough. B somehow feels more explosive to me (even though Jimmy is meant to be boring and steady!). Both good combos though. Good luck.

    3. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      A with Mahrez and spend cash elsewhere.

  13. Further Thoughts on The New Chelsea
    AK ⭐
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    After reading the Hot Topic by the ever brilliant Portsmouth Bubblejet, I thought I had to jump in and talk about some points made here.

    https://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/2020/09/26/southampton-make-one-change-for-trip-to-injury-stricken-burnley/?hc_page=12&hc_sort_by=comment_date#hc_comment_22539449

    The part that I agree with, is Lampard has used Havertz and Werner in their unnatural positions (Havertz vs BHA and Werner vs WBA). That's something that hasn't gone down well with me.

    However, you need to look at various other factors which I will talk about.

    First, both Ziyech and Pulisic are injured,which gives Chelsea only one natural winger available, who Frank isn't playing. His mistake, yes. But he questioned his attitude and after CHO made the headlines for all the wrong reasons in Lockdown, he's giving him that treatment.

    Second, I disagree with the fact that Werner can not be employed as a lone striker. Yes he isn't your conventional 9, but he has played there a lot of times before.

    The suggestion that Werner and Havertz can't play together has been made way too soon, especially since Chelsea have still not played Werner as a 9 and Havertz as a 10 in the same game yet.

    Once Pulisic and Ziyech are fit, I see Werner 9, Ziyech RW, Pulisic Lw and Havertz at 10.

    Havertz is a player that has a very good footballing IQ at a very young age already. He is all about spatial awareness and will get into open spaces, anywhere on the pitch, he also is very good at linking the midfield with the attack, often dropping deep and helping out in building up play.

    Werner is a player full of flair. He will run on the defences, drift wide or drop back, and still find a way to get into dangerous areas to score.

    The suggestion that he is a player that he can only play in a counter attacking team is again, not correct. I'd refer to you the Leipzig vs Tottenham game where Mourinho setup a deep block last season, and Leipzig were always on tje front foot, with Werner finding a way to get into dangerous positions even kn a deep block. He had numerous chances and if not for Lloris, would have had more than 1 goal easily.

    From what I see, Chelsea's front would be very fluid and Werner and Kai making spaces for both with their abilities to stretch the CBs of the opposition, while Ziyech and Pulisic are very direct wingers that can take on the defenders with their pace and technique.

    All in all, I think it's too early to judge Chelsea right now,

    1. AK ⭐
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Continued since I posted without completing it.

      All in all, it's too early to judge Chelsea right now, as many players are yet to settle into the team, while some are yet to make a debut for the club too.

      As for FPL, it may be too soon to get Chelsea assets right now, but I am sure once they start playing together and the new players start playing together, we'll see many points from their attack.

      1. Bushwhacker
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Totally. Werner's value with Pulisic and Ziyech fit is entirely different. Question is when will that be . . .

        1. Sterling Archer
          • 7 Years

          nice break for them coming up, hopefully be back after

      3. LAMELA_AND_CONSUELA
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        I fully agree, but at this moment Werner is not worth his price. When you do not get any return from your 9.5 forward capitan against mighty WBA, in current enviorement, there is no reason to have him. However, I’m pretty sure that I will have him in the future only with diffrent price

      4. Flair
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Agreed. Far, far too early to write Chelsea off. It'll take time, but when they gel - and they will - their assets will be on fire and we'll all be jumping onto them.

      5. The Rumour Mill
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        I was so excited about Chelsea this pre season. Third highest xG last season, just a smidge below Liverpool, and added 3 new attacking stars, I couldn't see how it could fail, and their prices in fpl were a gift so I jumped on immediately.

        So I've taken it personally that lampard, and the players themselves, have found a way to screw it up with square pegs in round holes and have been outplayed by Brighton, Liverpool, and for a half, even west brom.

        I knew players take time to settle but even last year's Chelsea would be an improvement on what we have seen so far. It concerns me aswell that the players can be so flaky in performance, like how Abraham spent the second half of last season barely registering a goal, or how pulisic failed to get an attacking return against Bournemouth, Everton, West ham and Aston villa in a row. We have now seen Werner get no non penalty goals or assists in 3 games now, the expected data is poor also and he came into this season with a non pen xg+xa value of 1, which basically guaranteed attacking returns every game. So for lampard to get precisely nothing out of him is an achievement unmatched by any manager he has had for about the last 3 years. Impressive.

      6. 272MK
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        I guess next time we shouldn't trust less exp manager like Lampard if he buy new players, some of them got injured?

        I would like to know what lesson we can learn here.

        1. 272MK
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Could have bought DCL & James from Gw1, instead of Werner and Kai

    2. Nightrain_
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I agree with your opinion mate and still holding triple CHE although it really cost me overall rank in the first 3 GWs. I overestimated the 2 players adapting in EPL too easily and downplay the injury impact of Pulisic and Ziyech but I believe the duo of Timo/Kai could be the next Vardy/Mahrez, hopefully

      Frank might be too reckless by handing Thiago the armband and play the old Caballero and losing 0-3 definitely not a good morale for Werner/Havertz in their last game but hopefully the next game at home should be better for them.

    Is Mendy at Leicester the best 4.5 midfielder option?

    1. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Why not go cheaper and get Stephens at 4.4

    1. ZeBestee
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Yes I would do it, but do u want Che longer term? If yes then its a decent transfer imo.

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        cheers.

      Why not Bamford?

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        true. i feel, possibly wrongly, that I have missed the boat with him. plus next fixture not great. will consider him though thanks a lot

          • 4 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          City conceding goals for fun . . . might not be a bad time to play them.

  17. Baby Face Nelson

    3 fullbacks

      1. Baby Face Nelson
        • 13 Years

        haha my team

        TAA, Coleman, Castagne
        Zaha, Klich, KDB, Salah, Bruno
        Wilson & DCL

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

      No pens tonight . . . I do wonder if there's going to be some backlash felt by the refs. . .

    Foden -> Barnes/Rodriguez (-4)?

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      100% no

      1. kamdaraji

        go to sleep

    2. ZeBestee
      • 9 Years

      See the midweek game, if he is rested then keep.

  19. tc93
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Quick 1 or 2: Hard because TAA will outscore Van Dijk but Barnes will also outscore Prodence

    1) TAA + Prodence
    2) VVD + Barnes

    Rest of team:
    Martinez
    *** / Saiss / Lamptey (will rotate with Ayling)
    Salah / KDB / Hames / ***
    Jiminez / DCL / Ings

    1. Soonmixdin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Didn't Podence NOT play this week? Barnes could outscore him through simply being a more regular starter?

      1. tc93
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        he was injured but hes okay now

      2. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Podence didn't start because of a minor injury to shoulder so he was not risked. Nothing to do with tactics which says to me Nuno wants to mind him as he is an important player.

  20. Royal5
    • 12 Years

    Overall updated?

    1. Bushwhacker
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Not for days. . .

  21. Soonmixdin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Son + Mitrovic to Barnes + Ings? (-4)

    1. LSK
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Looks good

  22. Shark Team
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Reece James or Klich to get more total pts till gw16?

    1. Begbie.
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      James if nailed.

  23. LSK
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Who should come in for Son?
    A) Greenwood
    B) Rashford
    C) Fernandes and Ings -4 (Werner goes too)
    D) Salah/Mane and Maupay - 4 (Werner goes too)

    1. Villa Velour
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Don't take Werner out for a hit.

      1. LSK
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Fair enough. One of the Utd boys then

        1. Villa Velour
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          I'm in same boat and it's between Mahrez, Zaha, and Barnes for me.

          1. LSK
            • 6 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            I have Zaha and 3 other City so Mahrez is out. I could go for Barnes. Feel like the Utd wingers will come good though.

  24. Kun Tozser
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Thoughts on Maddison?

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      doesnt seem to be nailed yet. i prefer barnes

      1. Bushwhacker
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Maddison will start ; wasn't fit.

    2. Begbie.
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Barnes better at the same price but one to keep an eye on.

  25. luk46
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    bank the ft or move Davies on? I can bench him next gw, but would lose 0.1

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      i think 2ft will be gold especially with international breaks. save

    2. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      2fts after the international break will come in so handy, so I would say save if possible

    3. luk46
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      appreciate it, guys!

  26. El Presidente
    • 4 Years

    Podence owners what are you doing? Hold or sell?

    1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Keeping price too good and fixtures too good.

    2. bennyp
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Holding. Any transfer at that price bracket is too sideways when you consider Podence could easily start against Fulham...

    3. Bushwhacker
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Hold, didn't sound serious.

  27. Begbie.
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    A) Jimenez and Trossard
    B) Maupay and Hamez

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      a

    2. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      A

    3. bennyp
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Honestly, I want all 4. If i had to pick, I'd go A.

      Jimi + Trossard + Hamez looks promising to me though.. Trossard could of had a hatty on the weekend, is on some set pieces too..

    was enjoying the pool v gunners game in a pub only to be thrown out after the game at 10pm with a full pint. Not what I'm used to

    1. El Presidente
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      The new abnormal

    2. noquarternt
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Normally you’d be thrown out with an empty pint?

    3. Bushwhacker
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Poor performance . . what happened to down in one?

  29. Villa Velour
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Son to:
    A) Mahrez B) Zaha or C) Barnes

    1. Begbie.
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      C

      1. Villa Velour
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Barnes - West Ham looking good... and Villa (totally not biased).
        Zaha - On pens and very good fixtures after Chelsea
        Mahrez - Could be great for explosive return from Man City

    WC team thoughts?
    Martinez (4.0)
    TAA Lamptey KWP (Mitchell) (4.0)
    KDB Salah Bruno Podence Klich
    DCL Kane (Brewster)
    Hoping for a Brewster to give me options

    1. bennyp
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I like it.

      I can't look past Jimenez though with his run of fixtures.. not sold on Kane.
