Maddison outshining Vardy as Pereira returns for Leicester

LEICESTER 2-0 CHELSEA

  • Goals: Wilfred Ndidi (£4.8m), James Maddison (£7.1m)
  • Assists: Harvey Barnes (£6.8m), Marc Albrighton (£5.3m)
  • Bonus points: Ndidi x3, Kasper Schmeichel x2 (£5.5m), Jonny Evans x1 (£5.5m), Wesley Fofana (£5.0m)

MIDFIELD MAESTROS

Owners of Jamie Vardy (£10.1m) are likely suffering from cold feet even as appealing fixtures approach for Leicester City.

The striker’s blank against Chelsea ensured just a four-point score in Double Gameweek 19, a total more than doubled by Harry Kane (£11.1m) in just one match.

And what has made Vardy’s disappointing Fantasy Premier League returns more frustrating for his 28.9% backing is the fact that the Foxes are hardly in bad form.

Their recent 2-0 win over Chelsea, a fourth victory in the last six, has taken them to the summit of the Premier League table at the time of writing.

Vardy’s direct contribution to that achievement has been relatively minor, without a goal since Gameweek 14 and producing just 2.5 points per game over the last four matches.

By comparison, James Maddison (£7.1m) and Harvey Barnes (£6.8m) have put up 7.8 and 6.3 points per game in that time and look the prime candidates to benefit from upcoming meetings with Everton (away), Leeds (home) and Fulham (away).

Maddison has been in particularly exciting form, netting in three successive Premier League matches for the first time this season.

And, after producing three attacking returns in the opening 10 Gameweeks of 2020/21, the former Norwich City man has seven in his last nine outings – and struck the bar against Chelsea.

Barnes is in similar form, putting up four of his eight goal involvements this season over the last five matches.

KING OF THE ROAD

Still, there are crumbs of comfort for Vardy owners as we head into Gameweek 20.

For the second match in a row, the Leicester forward was quiet but, as ever, always ready to pounce on any loose balls behind defenders.

He got one-on-one with Edouard Mendy (£5.1m) from an awkward in the first half on Tuesday night, his chip batted away partially and requiring a defensive clearance to stop it ending up in the back of the net.

Vardy was also fouled as Marc Albrighton (£5.3m) played a ball into the penalty box, which Maddison duly converted. Had his colleague not scored, Leicester might have had a penalty, which Vardy surely would have taken.

The forward was then denied an assist in the second half when he played Youri Tielemans (£6.4m) through on goal, denied by a good piece of goalkeeping by Mendy and, shortly after, he was just inches from collecting the ball in a race towards goal in his trademark style before Chelsea’s shot-stopper got there first.

It is a well-documented fact that Vardy has struggled to find himself in such situations at home this season. His goal conversion at the King Power Stadium is as low as 8% so far this season.

But he has experienced this problem a lot less often away from home, where he has boasted a goal conversion of 42.9% in 2020/21.

More importantly, three of Leicester’s next four fixtures take place on the road, against Everton, Fulham and Wolves.

PICKLE RICK

Uncertainty about Leicester full-backs is slowly rising among Fantasy managers following Ricardo Pereira‘s (£5.9m) return to Premier League action after 10 months.

His comeback is timed rather awkwardly for anyone hoping to predict Leicester’s back-four for upcoming matches considering the form of James Justin (£5.0m) and Timothy Castagne (£5.7m) this season.

The former has played every minute of the Premier League campaign thus far, an impressive feat in this exceptional season, and has produced 3.9 points per match in that time.

Meanwhile, Castagne has shown plenty of the same marauding spirit we have come to know of Pereira in 2020/21, exemplified in two key moments against Chelsea.

It was the Belgian who teed up Maddison for his cross-bar shot while he would have been afforded the assist for his long ball forward had Vardy collected possession and slotted past Mendy.

So, where does Pereira fit into the equation? Well, Brendan Rodgers certainly teased Fantasy managers on Tuesday night by deploying him on the right-hand flank of the attacking midfield in the place of Albrighton for the final 15 minutes.

The Portuguese full-back was always going to be someone to monitor upon his return to full fitness, not least because of sustained interest in Justin and Castange.

But if there is a chance of Pereira playing in a more attacking role, then keeping an eye on him just became even more important.

LAMPARD LOTTERY

The task of predicting a Chelsea team has become harder in recent weeks and their form has not helped Frank Lampard in that respect either.

The Blues, who have now lost three of their last five Premier League matches, put in an abject display at the King Power Stadium.

Meanwhile, Kurt Zouma‘s (£5.8m) stock has taken another dip as he failed to register so much as one minute on the pitch in two Double Gameweek 19 matches.

As things stand, only three defenders are selected by more managers than Zouma but the third start in four for Antonio Rüdiger (£4.5m) alongside Thiago Silva (£5.6m) is sure to trigger a fire-sale in the build-up to Gameweek 20.

Lampard also made changes to his attack against Leicester, putting Callum Hudson-Odoi (£5.7m) in for Hakim Ziyech (£8.1m), although it is worth pointing out the Englishman has more attacking returns since Gameweek 15 than any other Chelsea asset (two).

Hudson-Odoi was one of the few visiting players to go close on Tuesday night, rippling the side-netting from close range when played through by Christian Pulisic (£8.2m).

Substitute Timo Werner (£9.2m) put the ball in the back of the net but his goal was ruled out for offside after a VAR check.

Leicester City XI (4-1-4-1): Schmeichel; Justin, Evans, Fofana, Castagne; Ndidi; H Barnes, Maddison (Pérez 76′), Tielemans, Albrighton (R Pereira 76′); Vardy (Iheanacho 88′).

Chelsea XI (4-2-3-1): E Mendy; Chilwell, T Silva, Rüdiger, R James; Kovacic, Mount; Pulisic, Havertz (Ziyech 67′), Hudson-Odoi (Werner 68′); Abraham.

    2. Tingate

      Depends on your thoughts on Shaw, but I'd probably go Shaw, Holding, Mitchell.

      if you go on twitter, and search "de bruyne injury" and click on latest, there is literally nothing.

      it's a rumour started on here.

        Why? I just read it on the last page. I personally think he may be rested against a reserve villa team. No need to name call.

        1. No Professionals
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          I just read that you're a prat and am going to tell everyone else.

          What? There was nothing to base it on? Didn't think that mattered?

          1. Right In The Stanchion
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            I saw him looked knackered at the end of the last game. It’s too late now if he’s going to play or not. So who gives a F?

        It’s been reported on the BBC sports website, minor ankle injury but looks like he’s got over it snd is good to play tonight. I posted the link earlier.

      ffs he actually said that kdb had been to the treatment centre but should make it.. that was the latest I saw

      he probably goes to the treatment centre for some nice deep tissue work a couple of times a week anyway, seriously

    3. Shawcus
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      It’s not rumours. Been reported by the bbc. It seems it’s a minor ankle injury but he should be good to play tonight.

    4. Pepeye
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Not spreading rumours MEN confirming most points I've made. Dad and Cousin worked at City I'm a season ticket holder I've never given a confirmed line up but I think Cancelo will play and am hopeful KDB will

        Link your team or else it's all BS. Especially coming from you

        2. No Professionals
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          I do get why people don't link teams (in case people in their mini leagues find out their cunning plans), but also I find it very annoying.

          1. JONALDINHO
            • 6 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            People who don’t link their teams are just ashamed of their rank.

      Haha congrats. It's a great feeling indeed. I didn't break 100 at any point last season. I'm hopeful I can do it this week. 22 points needed from Martinez, Stones, Grealish, KdB, Fernandes, Salah TC.

  8. Top Lad Dakes.
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Not gonna lie, kicking myself a little for choosing to do Robbo to Cancelo rather than Son to Barnes/Maddison as my funding move to get Antonio and Stones.

    Ah well

    1. KAALI_DAAL
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      You got Antonio and Stones. Stop crying.

    2. Footieboot

    3. linkafu
      • 4 Years

    5. KAALI_DAAL
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Score predictions for City and Villa?

      Feel like this could easily be a 4 goals thriller.

      1. Miguel Sanchez
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        2-0

      2. Footieboot
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        0-0

        1. KAALI_DAAL
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Noooooooo

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

        2-1. Sterling, KDB, Watkins with the goals.

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

          Watkins LOL

      4. ClassiX
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Depends what team Villa can actually put on the pitch...unless you mean City 4-0 Villa?

        1. popey
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Whole Villa team is back in training, only absentee's Hause and Trez (neither of which starters)

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

      I'd be very surprised if Cancelo doesn't start at RB with Zinchenko on left
      Hopefully KDB and would rather have Foden than Mahrez starting at least

      1. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Enough posturing.

        What's the lineup?

        Post up your XI and we'll see if all this talk actually has some substance behind it...

    7. Obi Wan Elokobi
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I’m on 108 with 11 and KDB captain to play. Hope I can get 150 will be my best score ever. Also my rank gain in one weeks so far is mental.

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Wry nice mate. What a buzz. I’d be on similar if I had a playing keeper.

      2. Brosstan
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Good job.

        I had 150 points as a minimum for this game week to be a success. Massive fail, BB wasted and season all but over at this point, way off 150...

        1. Obi Wan Elokobi
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          150 minimum is a crazy high score. Let’s face it Bench boost I a joke of a chip. You have to get so lucky with it

          1. Brosstan
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            it really isnt. 75 is a high score in a normal game week. Then when you bench boost AND have 13 DGW players 150 should be a minimum for a successful gw.

      3. The Count of Monte Cristo
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Wow wow wow! Nice one, pal! Think I've only got 5 left and on around 85-90 so you're in a big big haul!

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

        97 with 12 to play and Mo cap, can see me jumping from 650k to around 300k

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

        Nice haul, anything over 120 this week is a good result, i'm on 99 with 9 to come, salah captain so looking to exceed my initial expectations for week! Can't think of a time in my FPL career (14 years) where hit 150....

    8. Shawcus
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Right, my go first. The City team tonight in my opinion will be:
      Ederson
      Walker. Stones. Dias. Cancello
      Rhodri Gundo
      Sterling. KDB. Foden
      Jesus.

      1. Pepeye
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Good Pick, my only change would be Zinchenko LB with Cancelo RB

      2. No Professionals
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Sterling and Jesus were both very poor v palace. Wouldn't be surprised if one or the other way benched.

        1. Shawcus
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          I think Pep will want Jesus to rough up Mings and Konsa a bit so will start Jesus. Agree with you that he’s been poor lately though.

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

        Spot on. Potentially Cancelo RB with Mendy LB.

      4. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I think it's this as well. Let's hope we're right!

      5. diesel001
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Torres for Jesus and I agree with the rest.

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

        I think Cancelo right back , Zinchenko left. Walker will play centre back in cup on Saturday with Cancelo and Mendy also playing in cup.

    9. Atimis
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Would you play Adams over one of the defenders?

      Martinez
      Justin/Cancelo/Stones/Coufal/Dallas
      Bruno/KDB/Salah
      Vardy/Bamford

      Martin/Adams/Soucek/Stephens

      1. linkafu
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Over Dallas yes

      2. Boom XhakaLacaSaka
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        no

    10. Klip Klopp
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Is my season over??? I stupidly didn't play my Wildcard and I don't have KDB so my rank is dropping by the second.

      When should I now play my wildcard? I honestly feel like giving up on FPL this year.

      Martinez
      Coufal / Chilwell / Cancelo
      Salah (c) / Son / Bruno / Foden
      Kane / Bamford / Antonio

      Bench: Foster, Dier, Bissouma, Douglas

      Should I do Salah to KDB? or anything else?

      1. Obi Wan Elokobi
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Wait for next big double Gameweek. You’re always going to fall to people using it just like they should when you use later on

        1. Obi Wan Elokobi
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Also your team is fine as it is

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

        KDB scored 7 pts. Hardly a mountain to climb halfway through the season....

      3. Gross Blank Point
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I've only had KDG 3 weeks out the 19 and my rank is 50K, high price assets are only worth it if they are returning and this season they've struggled to live up to their tag apart from Kane really
        Don't sweat it, think long term

        1. Gross Blank Point
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          KDB

      4. Gross Blank Point
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        And never use WC to bring in 1 player, it's well worth holding till nearer the next DGW

      5. tisza
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        This GW shows how many points can be offer in a DGW. Your WC can still be highly effective for next DGW. There is going to rank swings possible on the same scale as this week

    11. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      My guess at the City lineup. Let's see how close I get:

      Ederson
      Walker Stones Dias Cancelo
      Gundogan Rodri KDB
      Torres Sterling Foden

      1. diesel001
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Reply fail to Shawcus 🙁

      2. 1zverGGadeM
        • 6 Years

        mahrez instead of Torres

    12. Right In The Stanchion
      • 4 Years

      I'm thinking of starting a Fantasy Football website called Bantasy Football Scout.

      On this website you can laugh when somebody does badly.

      Would you join it?? Think of it as an adult version.

        Nope. Go join Twitter or Instagram for that crap.

          Why is everything so bitter from some people? It is supposed to be a forum to speak about FPL not behave like a kid and 'LOL' at other people! I mean, what is the actual point of the site, to discuss stuff, not to belittle one another?

          1. Right In The Stanchion
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            Quite agree. If you wouldn't speak to them like in that person then don't write to them like that.

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

      Will Dias, Grealish and Fernandes get 12 points between them tonight?
      All i need for the big fat 100

      1. The Count of Monte Cristo
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        They should get 6 points minimum so I think 12 is fairly likely.

      2. Eleven Hag
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Very likely

      3. linkafu

      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Been top of my league since GW1 and that looks to be coming to an end tonight, is it time to WC? Who would be your ideal line-up for a WC?

      I know my team is a big bowl of dicks. Help me save my season you handsome bunch.

      Meslier / McCarthy
      Ogbonna / Dallas / Bednarek / Thiago Silva
      Salah / Bruno / Walcott / Soucek / Foden
      Firmino / Vardy / Bamford

      0.3m ITB, 1FT

      1. jammie26
        • 3 Years

        Awful team, were you drunk when you selected half of these players?

        1. Pchids
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          I know, first year playing fantasy ever, made some serious rookie mistakes.

      2. linkafu
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Anto over Firmino and don't like the walcott pick

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

        I thiink it is wildcard time yes! Have some fun

        Firm
        Foden
        Walcott
        Thiago

        All defo got to go imo and some others in the maybe list.

      4. The Count of Monte Cristo
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Firmino, Walcott, Thiago definitely need to go. If on WC just go with one starting GK.

        Vardy --> Kane similar bracket. Downgrade Firmino to Antonio and upgrade Foden and Walcott - perhaps look a Maddison if you want a punt, if you can't afford KDB / Son.

        Defence is not awful but perhaps you need some City defence so look at Thiago --> Dias / Stones / Cancelo. Rest can stay and try and nail some captain picks in the comnig GW's

      Adams --> Antonio seem the obvious transfer even if you own Coufal and Soucek?

      Also considering Soucek --> Saka but Arsenal's fixtures aren't great despite his form. Can't go Gundogan as already own KDB and double City DEF.

                It’s BS. Im dead certain KDB starts

                  Not even a C'er but I'm pretty sure he starts too. This will be a tough game.

                    • 7 Years

                    Ofc. even with an infiltration he starts. Painkillers, anything and everything. Then rests until next PL game next week

                      Like i said before:
                      Stop forcing the issue that "he/they will start".
