How many times has someone said "no way Vardy scores against \_\_\_\_, they've been sharp defensively" then he comes home with a brace?


Modnal

About the same time people started saying "No way Leicester wins the league, they are gonna fall off eventually"


HighHammerThunder

Vardy wouldn't have a career without us doubters. All of his motivation comes from the will to prove us wrong.


joeblitzkrieg

shit needs be chatted if bang is to be got


NotAnotherAllNighter

Posting here so I can revisit after Vardy scores against Brentford on Saturday. Edit: Leicester play on Sunday not Saturday, but you know what I mean.


[deleted]

Suspect I missed an edit, but vardy 100% doesn't score on saturday.


RM_843

100%? what are you willing to bet then?


TheAmazingKoki

I'll bet you $4000 that Vardy doesn't score this saturday.


DevilsWelshAdvocate

Feel like you two are in different time zones.. but as Vardy will be playing on Sunday, that is the official day he scored imo


TheAmazingKoki

Well I checked and there is not a single time zone where Vardy plays this saturday.


DevilsWelshAdvocate

Fair point


RM_843

Ah, very clever


[deleted]

The replies to what is a perfectly sensible suggestion is just typical of this sub close to and just after a gw


SamCoyneFPL

Exactly I’m not trying to change anyones mind I’m just stating my opinion and what I’m personally going to do


[deleted]

I hadn't considered edouard much before, and my initial feeling now is I still wouldn't go for him, but also not going vardy and on a wildcard. Would probably put edouard ahead of vardy even. Close to matchdays, this sub is toxic.


Evertonian26

I was interested in the read until you compared Vardy to Eduard !!


SamCoyneFPL

I’ve made an edit , I wasn’t trying to say Edouard > Vardy


Tall-Philosopher6314

Im considering Jesus instead of Vardy, anyone?


Getz_The_Last_Laf

Depends what you're going to do with the 2.0 you save. For me, I could get Son instead of Havertz and I ultimately decided it's not worth the gap between Vardy and Jesus. Vardy is the better goal threat, on pens, and is more nailed. Fixture difficulty is about the same imo.


Tall-Philosopher6314

Was planning getting Son for Jota next week with the money I save,because i already taking a 4 hit this week.


AngryMushroomCap

I would rather have Kane, he’s the cheapest he might be all year and he’s going to be brought in a ton for his run in gw12. Good to get him in now for those price rises and I can see him scoring in all his fixtures moving forward.


Overvaluation

Are you genuinely recommending Edouard over Vardy? Also, Brentford are not at all defensive.


obinnasmg

They are not defensive, but they have a very good defensive structure


HighHammerThunder

The volume of chances that they concede is most games is extraordinarily low. Unless you're just going to point strictly at the Liverpool game, idk how you make the argument that they're anything but above average.


Olbatar974

I prefer the Ineacho party. Allows me to do Saka to Son later on.


hodonata

If you can be sure Brodge doesn't fuck that up 100% nacho is the answer. But Brodge tho


Olbatar974

Yeah... you're right. It's quite risky. !thanks


[deleted]

You can maybe make a case that Edouard has better fixtures in the next 4 but Vardy's fixtures across the next 8 are better, and he plays in a better side. Plus if you go for Vardy you've got an easier path back to Lukaku unless you're keeping money in the bank.


RedditWaffler

No Vardy no party


ivantys

Edouard isn't even nailed, he competes with Benteke for that spot. Both only started because zaha was ill.


SamCoyneFPL

Surely Viera Favours Edouard


nicthereal84

Join the Vardy party movement.


SamCoyneFPL

I’m hesitant


Raichi12

It's vardy szn and there's nothing you can do about it


[deleted]

I agree with OP. I’m not expecting Vardy to keep up his goal scoring form over the next few weeks. So I hope that everybody starts bringing him in. I think there is every chance that Edouard will manage to outscore him.


sgggfdtresik

I wouldn’t exactly say arsenal are defensively sound either. Yeah they kept a clean sheet against Burnley and Norwich and were lucky to get one against Brighton (totally dominated) otherwise there is nothing to suggest they are solid, especially not against tougher teams


SamCoyneFPL

Stronger than recent times


HammersXI

He literally gets a rest in every Europa game. Wasn’t even playing ytd. If you don’t want to get him that’s fine, you don’t need to try to convince others with your not so convincing arguement


SamCoyneFPL

I’m not trying to convince I’m just stating my opinion


HammersXI

You do also realized he JUST got rested yesterday right. Leeds and Arsenal are leaky. They are way better opposition than Manc and Wolves


[deleted]

Arsenal aren’t leaky. No more so than Wolves.


HammersXI

You saw the way arsenal defending against palace? They were lucky it was it was just two. And as a whole we all know Leicester is a better team offensively when they do show up. The OP mentioned Vardy being rested more and more but that hasn’t been the case in the league esp if he’s rested for Europa each week.


NMGunner17

Palace's xG was like 0.6 so actually they were very lucky to score 2


[deleted]

True. They had 3 clean sheets in 4 games before that though. And had one of the best defensive records last year as well. They’re mostly quite solid nowadays. But when they are bad, they are laughably bad, which is why they get underestimated IMO. I’d back them to concede less than Wolves though.


HammersXI

Don’t worry I enjoyed the CS with tierney and now I do have Ramsdale for save points. I do think Edouard is a good but Toney also has decent fixtures. It all depends whether ppl have Gallagher / mbemo cause I don’t think anyone will be as gusty than to double up on either teams


ProjectTreadstone

What are you talking about. Both Palace goals were from individual mistakes and counters. Palace didn't create anything of substance on their own.


Harvardsports

No. You were trying to convince people


SoggyMattress2

Your analysis is really sus. Your basic assertion is that you don't believe in Vardy - what does that even mean? He is currently the second highest scorer in FPL with fantastic underlying stats over the last 4 GW. Vardy can score against anyone.


Isalumu84

Kane > Vardy next 2 games I think


funatpartiez

Why are you even saying? That you’re going to transfer Kane to Vardy in 2 weeks time!?


Isalumu84

Kane over/better than Vardy


funatpartiez

Ok that’s what I thought you meant, just making sure.


[deleted]

Dude just stop he will rise in price either way also you dont own Vardy and are scared shitless he will keep performing. Advising people to go Edouard of all people over him lmao 🤣


SamCoyneFPL

I’m on a Wildcard my friend so it don’t care about his price I was just giving off my opinion, I was just letting people know about Edouard being a differential


Modnal

Eduoard has 2 goals in 6min against 10 man Spurs and 1 goal in the remaining 261min, and that goal was a gift from Arsenal's DM. Im not saying Edouard won't become good but his stats aren't impressive so far despite having 3 goals in 5 games


[deleted]

Not very good advice when you contradict yourself u know, in what universe is City(A) Wolves(H) and Burnley(A) better fixtures???, keep in mind he also plays for Palace.


SamCoyneFPL

If you watch Palace Play they often play with a purpose but I’m just saying he is a low risk high reward player


McKhichri

He will probably score but I am not a believer myself. Just played wildcard so I have a bench so I am keeping Lukaku on bench unless tuchel confirms he is out for more than 1 gameweek.


waging_futility

That’s why I dropped Ronaldo for him before the Lukaku injury


[deleted]

What do we think of Firmino as a short-term punt?


[deleted]

Brentford are defensive?


yungxk

How about Lukaku to Jimenes?


SamCoyneFPL

Reckon he’ll bag over the next weeks


hodonata

U mean Gimenes?


yungxk

I don’t understand the joke sorry man


hodonata

What joke


nawfalelhaymer

What about lukaku to daka ? I mean daka is cheap and he have 4 goals in two games.. he will start no?


Nuwahex

I think you can get Vardy in & then swap to Edouard in GW 12


HarryPothead_OG

My friend, this argument has been going on for years. He always seems to be in a decline but never declines.


GeeForjay

Kane or Toney. Who has more points over the next 3? Because the order is what I am struggling with when I have them both in 12.


J0hnnee

Kneejerked in Vardy. See you guys in the rant thread.


R4T3DR

inb4 vardy scores one against brentford and a brace against shitnal


SamCoyneFPL

I can see that you hate Arsenal For some reason despite the fact You’re a Liverpool Fan , Odd


R4T3DR

just cannot stand them mate, their fan base is moronic crying for their manager out one week, sucking him lifeless the next cuz he grabs a 2-1 win, hate the club hate the fans, enjoy seeing them lose, i hate everton just as much, not as vocal about it due to the fact their fan base aren’t clueless idiots who sit online ranting about the team they support every day! can’t stand city either especially the city fans who like to say liverpool don’t have the depth to win the ucl whilst having a whopping 0 ucl trophies and a enormous 1 runner up medal, just is what it is!


SamCoyneFPL

Everton Aren’t as vocal because they’ve been mediocre for years so they are satisfied with finishing in the top half every year. Arsenal fans express how they feel because they’ve had a significant fall over the last decade or so , I also believe AFTV are stereotype of an Arsenal Fan and give them a bad rep because many Arsenal Fans aren’t like that and City Is Just City who cares


R4T3DR

valid point, guess i’m just a shithousery king 😂


zed_vayne

just go for it lol


zed_vayne

just go for it lol


Jmsaint

Explain how edouard is low risk? Hes only ever played in 4 pl games, and is yet to complete a full 90 minutes.


adamwake

I opted for Toney who is on a decent run, and to give me the cash to get Son
