Maddison and Vardy injury latest as Salah gets set for more FPL sales

LEICESTER CITY 1-0 LIVERPOOL

  • Goal: Ademola Lookman (£6.0m)
  • Assist: Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall (£4.4m)
  • Penalty miss: Mohamed Salah (£13.0m)
  • Penalty save: Kasper Schmeichel (£4.8m)
  • Bonus: 3 – Schmeichel, 2 – Daniel Amartey (£3.8m), 1 – Timothy Castagne (£5.3m), Dewsbury-Hall

Liverpool suffered a surprise 1-0 defeat at Leicester City, with Mohamed Salah‘s first half penalty miss later punished by substitute Ademola Lookman. Jurgen Klopp’s side remain six points adrift of Manchester City.

Our Scout Notes article reflects on the key Fantasy Premier League (FPL) talking points from the fixture.

SALAH BLANK WORSENED BY PENALTY MISS

Not only did star man Salah blank for the second match in a row, he finished the match without any points because of a poor spot-kick that was saved comfortably by Kasper Schmeichel. His headed rebound hit the crossbar and the chance was over. Expectations are always high for the much-captained Egyptian, whose phenomenal season has placed him far ahead of every other FPL attacking asset – 15 goals, 25 goal involvements and 170 points.

However, 1.5 million managers sold him because of Liverpool’s postponed Gameweek 19 match against Leeds United. They feared the worst here, having seen the ease at which Leicester conceded six goals at Man City just two days prior. Many nails were bitten, many sofas hidden behind, yet these managers will now feel justified for selling Salah ahead of a tough trip to Chelsea and the several Gameweeks about to be missed because of African Cup of Nations duty.

At a time when FPL managers were debating how to navigate Salah’s departure, this well-timed reminder that he’s only human may push many more into a sale (he’s second for transfers out ahead of Gameweek 20), especially if Son Heung-min (£10.5m) ends up with a Double Gameweek in his absence – although this is pure speculation right now.

“There’s not a little bit of blame or whatever. He [Salah] scores usually from these situations but tonight he didn’t. It was a little bit like the whole game was. Mo is part of the team and usually he is better in this situation like the team is usually better in a football game. Tonight we weren’t and that’s why we lost.” – Jurgen Klopp

LIVERPOOL FAIL TO SCORE FOR THE FIRST TIME

The league’s joint-top scorers found themselves up against a supposedly poor defence – one with just a single clean sheet since the season’s opening weekend and with midfielder Wilfred Ndidi (£4.8m) forced into the back line due to a series of centre back injuries.

Such is the nature of football, this same defence ensured Liverpool failed to score in a league game for the first time since March – ending a streak of 28 consecutive matches.

In fairness, Liverpool did have 21 shots and an expected goals (xG) tally of 2.33. Salah mustered five attempts from inside the box, exploiting a season-long Leicester weakness that saw them enter Gameweek 20 with the second-most shots conceded within their own penalty area. With two games fewer than first-placed Newcastle United.

Sadio Mane (£11.8m) totalled five shots of his own, including a big miss at 0-0 where his own touches set up a promising one-on-one chance with the goalkeeper. He blazed it over the bar. Additionally, the 28.2% ownership of Diogo Jota (£8.1m) were disappointed by his blank and an xG of just 0.30.

In attack, Kostas Tsimikas (£3.7m) looked more threatening than Trent Alexander-Arnold (£8.3m). With three chances created, a share of set-piece duties and an average position more advanced than his fellow full-back, the incredibly low price of Tsimikas would surely have more appeal if he wasn’t simply filling in for the suspended Andrew Robertson (£7.0m).

“The story is actually nice – one of the guys who was constantly talking about how we should not play the 26th and 28th plays only on the 28th and is losing against the team who plays on the 26th and 28th. Funny story, I know.” – Jurgen Klopp

IN-FORM MADDISON LIMPS OFF INJURED

For the Foxes, their xG of 0.59 summarises what sort of match it was – staying strong defensively, before picking the right moments to attack. Their graph of average positions shows they sat much deeper than Liverpool and Lookman’s winner was their only shot on target. However, the win wasn’t a fluke. They frustrated Klopp’s men from start to finish, lining up with a diamond midfield that placed James Maddison (£6.8m) behind a strike partnership of Jamie Vardy (£10.4m) and Kelechi Iheanacho (£6.9m).

Maddison has been in marvellous form of late, bagging 53 points and four double-digit hauls during his previous five matches. These four goals and five assists placed him on many FPL managers’ radars ahead of imminent meetings with Norwich City (H), Burnley (a) and Brighton and Hove Albion (H) – as well as the potential of their two postponements being rearranged for soon.

Instead, he fell to the pitch in the 67th minute. Holding his calf, Maddison limped off to be replaced by Marc Albrighton (£5.2m). Strong midfield options are disappearing quite quickly at the moment – AFCON will remove a few appealing options, Conor Gallagher (£6.1m) is rumoured to have missed Crystal Palace’s win over Norwich because of Covid-19 and there’s also uncertainty over Emile Smith Rowe‘s (£6.1m) starting place security at Arsenal. A Maddison injury would be sad to see.

Vardy – back in the Leicester starting 11 for the first time since Gameweek 14 – was also seen limping at several points near the end but Rodgers had made all three substitutions by that point.

“We’ll see how they are, they’re both a bit sore.” – Brendan Rodgers on the Maddison and Vardy knocks


Leicester City XI: Schmeichel; Castagne, Amartey, Ndidi, Thomas; Dewsbury-Hall, Soumare, Choudhury (Tielemans 56′); Maddison (Albrighton 68′); Iheanacho (Lookman 56′), Vardy

Liverpool XI: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Matip, van Dijk, Tsimikas; Fabinho (Milner 64′), Henderson (Firmino 70′), Oxlade-Chamberlain (Keita 55′); Salah, Jota, Mane

      nice team
      Gallagher is out with covid potentially and it's time to start thinking about moving our Rudiger

      1. Ruth_NZ

        Gallagher was rested.

        1. Eze Really?

          Source? The noise on here about him is loud. James from Planet FPL said he got a tip about him and Covid.

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            2 years, 3 months ago

            You mean the same James whose contacts confirmed the Spurs game was off?

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

              Exactly. James likes to think he knows more than he actually does.

            2. Eze Really?
              • 9 Years

              I know and agree with you. But the noise is sometimes backed up and everyone thinks it is genius. I am not saying I believe it, but there can be credible information.

          2. Ruth_NZ
            • 9 Years

            Palace Assistant Manager said so. I think that's better than some twitter random myself.

            You do realise that James guy isn't an ITK. He is just a random guy who talks about fantasy football on a podcast?

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

              He can be a know all. I do like him in some ways. I am an x footballer and he makes sense with tactics on many occasions. There is no advertising, gambling sites (even though he is an ex bookie) No paid for messaging and small enough for interaction. This site can be put into question too.

      Looks decent already. I’d upgrade Gilmour to a prep for W double gwk 21/22 playing mid and bank the other transfer

    Morning, went ahead and booked my transfers early last night as I would be priced out otherwise…….Lacazette>Kane, Alonso>Johnson for a -4…..good moves?

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

      no terrible, why didn't you ask here before doing them?

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

        I did when I realised I was being priced out…..someone said hold……..but I feel like Kane is my captain next GW

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

          Kane looked pretty good recently and doubles to come. WH defence is awful but I guess Johnson will be rooted to your bench. Should have waited though. Covid risk plus info on doubles may have changed your ideas on the best move for your team

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

      Not great considering dgw 21/22 about to be announced, potential further Covid cancellations and Johnson hobbled off! Good luck to you though

    3. Jeremy Corbyn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      What's the rationale?

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

        Really want Kane for Watford

    4. Salan
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      You really want Kane but not really want Johnson. How come this can be priced out? There are defenders costing 3.7 to 3.9.

      I don't see any strong ground to do this move too early.

  5. Thanos

      • 10 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      I’ve thought about it but most the teams that will double in 21 probably won’t in 22.
      I know you can FH in 22 but I’m considering using the BB if the doubles fall right with my existing team then WCing out in 23/24.

    2. Jebiga
      • 11 Years

      nope, gw36 is for BB, you will have 5-6 dgws this season. Use it smart

      1. vova
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        yeah, agree with this. It's tempting to use the chips at the first opportunity but there are likely to be more attractive times to do it in the future.

      Morning all.

      Who should go first, Rudiger or James? And who to replace?

      Got Johnson, Cancelo & TAA. Money no problem my friends. Will of course wait with the transfer.

      1. vova
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Rudiger I guess, James is much more explosive.

    7. The Train Driver
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      What Leicester player/s are you getting in if any?

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

        Maddi

      2. @persecuted_by_mods
          2 years, 3 months ago

          Dewsbury Hall, because as someone said yesterday if he gets a big score you can post he was Duesbury a haul

          That's better than winning fpl in my book

          1. The Train Driver
            • 8 Years
            2 years, 3 months ago

            Yeah, but second sentence will be " I wish I didn't bench him".

      3. Jebiga
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Who is more priority now, Ronaldo or Kane ?

        1. Stamford B
          • 2 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          Until Utd look decent in attack then it’s Kane.

        2. The Train Driver
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          I would get Lukaku in if he didn't have those blanks, looked really good since he came back. Think he'll be the best premium forward in the second half of the season.

          1. vova
            • 13 Years
            2 years, 3 months ago

            Lukaku still not fully fit according to Tuchel

          2. Jebiga
            • 11 Years
            2 years, 3 months ago

            Lukaku has 'mares in PL, only one good season in PL and in Calcio. Hes missing constantly...

        3. vova
          • 13 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          Right now, Kane. Let's see how Ronaldo and United look vs Wolves. I currently have Ronaldo (bought him before the Newcastle game).

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

        Why you guys want to remove James??

        1. vova
          • 13 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          Chelsea aren't as solid at the back as they were at the start of the season and he had tough fixtures + blanks (Club World Cup) coming up

        2. Stamford B
          • 2 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          Fixtures

          2 years, 3 months ago

          Well Chelsea got next Liverpool, City, TOT then two blank GWs ..

          Big if they get DGW in 22 I’ll keep otherwise will ship out for AVilla defender and save some cash.

      5. The Train Driver
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Could matches in AFCON be postponed due to Covid and therefore players being sent back later or do they have to finish it on scheduled time?

        1. vova
          • 13 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          anything is possible this season. I doubt players would just get up and go back to their clubs in the middle of the tournament.

        2. Sterling Archer
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          i think there could be a bit of afters with AFCON, players having to isolate on return and things

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

        Guys Newcastle against saints also in risk? Have liv and broja.

        1. vova
          • 13 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          yeah it's at risk but it's wait and see for now. Wouldn't transfer out either one just yet.

        2. g40steve
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          Not taking a hit might save me this week after 3X pool & C shock.

      7. Stamford B
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        How do you see the Chelsea Liverpool game going? I’ve got 3 Chelsea on my bench at the moment.

        1. Bishopool
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          this is going to be mad game. but i think its 1:1 type of game with hendo and kante goals

            Sounds like Kanté aggravated his injury against Villa, not sure if we'll see him feature at all. I'm finishing shipping out all my Chelsea players before the weekend, hard to see any CS til after CWC. 2-1 to Liverpool is my prediction

        Son and Maddison the obvious transfers in this week. Maddison just had e regular cramp imo

        1. The Train Driver
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          If you say it's a cramp, I'm getting him in then, no need to wait for pressers when we have our own expert here at ffs...

          1. Make Arrows Green Again
            • 7 Years
            2 years, 3 months ago

            He said "imo", what's the big deal? Bad day in FPL?

            1. The Train Driver
              • 8 Years
              2 years, 3 months ago

              Ok then, I'll just add 'imo' to my sentence then we good?

              1. Make Arrows Green Again

                2 years, 3 months ago

                You want everyone to have footnoted sources for everything they post? It's an opinion page first and foremost. 90% of the things people post on here could elicit a sarcastic "since you're such an expert" response (imo lol).

                1. The Train Driver
                  • 8 Years
                  2 years, 3 months ago

                  Imo footnoted sources would be great 85% of the time.

            • 13 Years
            2 years, 3 months ago

            95% sure about that. If it was a player with another muscle-structure (someone like Saint-Maximin) it could be something worse, but this is propably just a cramp

            1. The Train Driver
              • 8 Years
              2 years, 3 months ago

              I'm hoping since I want him in but I'd still wait for pressers, especially now since he's already risen....

        2. Pat Bonner
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          I’d be very wary even if it was just cramp given the quick turnaround and it being Norwich up next - prime game for Leicester to rotate

          1. Ze_Austin
            • 5 Years
            2 years, 3 months ago

            Yeah. But there's a double

            So I might just hold him and not cap

            Cramp takes minutes to hours to recover from, though. So if it's that, he might be fine to play again soon

            See Martinelli
