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Rodgers was also optimistic about two other Leicester players who were withdrawn because of injury issues.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

    1. Dynamic Duos

      Tough mate, been looking at it for , I think A, but B has two pen takers.

      1. BERGKOP
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Very tough. Your WC team had me thinking.

        1. Dynamic Duos
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          That is why we come on mate, always new ideas, your question had me thinking 🙂

      2. BERGKOP
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Appreciate your thoughts

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      A not relying only on penalties (oldies thinking) 😉

      1. BERGKOP
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Haha thanks. I hear that

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

      A for me. I think that will be better long term

      1. BERGKOP
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Thanks. Yeah, I'm leaning that way. Not convinced by Utd.

  4. Letsgo!
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    No leicester player vs westham gonna be costly?

    1. BERGKOP
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Don't particularly think so. Nice to have though.

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Not really WHU could turn up anytime

  5. unlethal
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Barnes vs Zaha is an interesting debate to me.

    Barnes looks electric and on form and we all know how Zaha can turn it on against anyone. Both can be frustrating picks but so far this season Zaha has an xG90 of 0.67 compared to Barnes' 0.38. Zaha is also on penalties and Palace have a nice run of fixtures after Chelsea.

    However, Barnes is playing for a better side who will produce more goals than Palace.

    Who would you choose?

    1. lilmessipran
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Really tough one.. leaning towards Zaha because of pens

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

        With the number of penalties being given this season so far too..

    2. BERGKOP
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Tough one. I don't rate Barnes as the best fpl option. Palace look way better than expected but you've nailed Zaha. Frustrating to own.

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

        Barnes seems to be getting better and better though

    3. Sahil.....
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Had zaha just got barnes for son

    4. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Barnes next 4 and then switch to Zaha. Plum fixtures throughout 7-8 weeks or so with that.

      1. The Man Pastore
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        this

      2. BERGKOP
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Good thinking

    5. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Zaha for penalties. I own both though.

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

      I'm leaning toward Zaha because of pen and plum fixtures after that but Leicester attack is really one to watch however West Ham just won big so they probably got confidence while Chelsea's defense still need to be sorted out.

      I'm thinking Chelsea can win but Zaha can sneak in a goal or penalty and last season, Zaha also scored against Chelsea and he's pretty solid away

      so Zaha for me

  6. lilmessipran
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Is castagne the real deal for an attacking full back or a tad bit fortunate with the points so far?

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Real deal

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Real deal, passed eye test for me and got in my team last week

    3. Sahil.....
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      justin and castagne are the new taa n robbo

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

        I would not go that far 😉 but it's promising

    4. da Beeeez
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      both -- the real deal and a tad bit fortunate...

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

        this

  7. Jinswick
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Best MID/FWD combo for 16.3m?

    A) Mahrez & DCL
    B) Rodriguez & Ings
    C) Trossard & Vardy

    Salah, KDB, xxx, Foden
    Jimenez, xxx

    1. BERGKOP
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      C

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      C for that, A is close second just due too much City at this point

    3. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      What about Trossard Mahrez Ings and drop Foden?

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

        Already taking a -4 to switch Son/Antonio this week

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

          Barnes Ings?

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

            Yep that also works. Reckon it’s worth a -4 ditching Antonio, or best to just switch Son for free. Sorta fancy Mahrez vs Leeds

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

              I would not take hit removing Antonio ... I would do Son > Barnes and do anything else next week

            2. mrpink32
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 9 Years
              3 years, 6 months ago

              I'm in same boat. Think son antonio for zaha dcl is my bet. Bank cash and upgrade Davies soon maybe to digne

    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years

    Would you do Podence (FUL) to Barnes (WHU) for a hit? Already have Jimenez and Castagne ... next 4 fixtures both are good.

    1. CBonci
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      No I wouldn’t take a hit for that. Podence has looked good and if he is back he can do well. Fulham D is in shambles.

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

        Yeah need 2 attacking returns from Barnes for a hit (Podence may have a return but even more).

    2. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I wouldn't mate for a hit, wait on news.

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

        Ta

    3. Kloppen Schloppen
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Hold Podence

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

        For the moment yes

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

          I guess he'll be fine

    4. Eze Really?
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Barnes a great pick and a couple of fixture to benefit. -4 is a hard one though as Podence injury not serious

  14. My heart goes Salalalalah
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Play Justin or Taylor?

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Justin easy

    2. Gleys11
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Justin

  15. Kloppen Schloppen
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Jim v Ings? Who you taking for Werner?

    1. The Man Pastore
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I went Jimenez

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

      Maybe this week is the week

      1. Kloppen Schloppen
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Does it get any easier than Fulham?

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

          Werner outscored Jimmy playing a team managed on Zoom

          1. Kloppen Schloppen
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

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

        Thanks mate ..

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Pereira, look at their fixtures

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

        Yeah. Their fixtures are amazing

    3. The Man Pastore
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I am team Pereira

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

        Can't seperate both on stats myself 😀
        Thanks mate.

    4. Eze Really?
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Good question.
      Both teams can score goals. Trossard eye candy in a better side. I would prefer Maupay on pens too.
      Periera a good differential. Talented guy.
      50/50 Can't help bud.

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

        This, Pereira Maupay combo could be a bargain

        1. Eze Really?
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Yep a good money saver to enable big hitters (who take pens (smile))

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

            😛

      2. Amey
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Too many Strikers i want so can't fit Maupay atm 😀

        Thanks !

        It's a 50/50 and i take wrong one generally so trying to see what most think. Will go that way

        1. Eze Really?
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          I thought that might be the case

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

            Currently on
            DCL Jimenez Ings
            As striker line-up on WC.

            1. Eze Really?
              • 9 Years
              3 years, 6 months ago

              Good choices but fiddle around to see what you can do with extra 2 mil

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

                Agree.
                No Midfielder below Son to 6m tempts me tbh.

                Serious lack of options in that price bracket IMO. Zaha Barnes are trolls for me

                1. Harry the Hack
                  • 14 Years
                  3 years, 6 months ago

                  Theres a stack of options in that price bracket. Hames, Grealish, Foden, Greenwood if he starts getting airtime, plus the two you mentioned who are not trolls.

    5. RamaJama

      Pereira

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

        Thanks

    6. Weeb Kakashi
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Pereira. Too central to what WBA do. But dont expect much as they can go without scoring for games.

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

        Yeah. They have some attacking style to their Play. I ended up with GK pair that went horrible.

        Thanks mate. Fixtures definitely looks good for Pereira.

  19. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Would you rather have Salah or de Bruyne? I'm making de Bruyne because of fixtures right now. It would be Auba out for either of them, which I'm comfortable with

  20. Weeb Kakashi
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    McCarthy
    TAA Digne Tierney Saiss
    Kdb Havertz Podence
    Werner Jimenez DCL

    Bissouma Reed Ayling

    1FT 3.2 ITB

    What would you do? Havertz>Sterling? Or Podence>Mahrez?

    1. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Sterling

    2. Amey
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Salah ?

    3. Esalman
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Mahrez

  21. Bielsa Murderball
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Should i transfer salah for sterling?

    1. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      No

    2. BERGKOP
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      No

    3. Bielsa Murderball
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Why not... sterling's facing leeds?

      1. Weeb Kakashi
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        I wouldn't . Salah s playing Villa.

      2. Esalman
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Very sideways transfer. I'd even say downgrade.

  22. RamaJama
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Play

    A) Lamptey (EVE A)
    B) Taylor (NEW A)

    1. Bielsa Murderball
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      A

    2. BERGKOP
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      A

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

      A.

    4. Gleys11
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      A

    5. da Beeeez
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      B - current odds I'm seeing showing Burnley as twice as likely as Brighton to get the clean sheet. Lamptey's attacking prospects make him playable but don't overcome that.

  23. JAYPEE
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Rate my WC

    Martinez Forster
    TAA James KWP Justin Lamptey
    Salah KDB Rodriguez Burke Stephens
    Ings Jiminez DCL

    1. aleksios
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Solid.

    2. Amey
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Too much spread in Defense.
      Are you planning to play 4 atb ?

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

        I was thinking that. Who would you downgrade and who would you upgrade?

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

          James Burke >> 4.0 Klich

  24. aleksios
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Best combo:

    a) Robbo-KWP--Jrod
    b) Castagne--VVD--Barnes.

    Have TAA.

    Thanks.

    1. Holmes

    2. Eze Really?
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Robbo must be there IMO

    3. Kabayan
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Robbo - KWP - Barnes

  25. lekkaaudisy
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Saiss/Lamptey or Castagne (-4)

    I have 1.4m ITB rn

  26. Weeb Kakashi
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    This double Liverpool still offers more value than the 7M mids. Looking at GW6 WC with double Pool.

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

      I am going same from this GW 😀

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

      triple defense on card...

    3. kringe
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Been on triple since the start.
      They got me almost 2 thirds of my points this week.

    4. sminkypinky
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Started from the go with it. Hasn't been al that you know. Still keeping them both on my wc although I'm getting jittery. Many compromises to be made because of that double up.

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

    0.1 short of Kane to Mane switch, sigh...

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

      Hold then.
      He should get something vs United.

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

        or just Kane to vardy

        wonder how they will play without Son

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

          They will play same 😉
          Vardy is straight forward move

  28. Esalman
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Should I:
    A. Son > Zaha FT
    B. Son + Werner > Fernandes/Rashford + Richarlison for -4

    Have Salah, KDB, Hames and Mitrovic.

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

      B

    2. Letsgo!
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      why dont keep werner?

      1. Esalman
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Werner just does not seem likely to outscore Havertz and Abraham to me. I'd only keep him to save FT at this time.

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

      i did Zaha and keep Werner for at least 2 home fixtures, i trust he and Havertz will do good but if he's not then by GW6 there's a possibility to switch out CHE to LIV or another team

  29. Letsgo!
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    mitro and son to ings and traore for -4?

    1. Esalman
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Why Traore?

      1. Letsgo!
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        only have 6.6 left for midfield...not too sure who to take.

        1. Esalman
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Pereira and Trossard are popular picks for that money.

  30. SpaceCadet
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Best cap option this gw?

    a. Ings
    b. Bruno
