    Most valuable players

    You lot in Leicester have probably seen this already but I just read about the value of players this year. Mahrez has dropped from 17 last season to 73rd this season from 69m to 46m. Vardy is 89th down from 52nd 46m to 40m. My boy Gray is 17th for u21s 23.8m and Ndidi is 10th at 30.3m...

    End of season grades

    The mercury just gave out their grades: http://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/gradings-for-james/story-30364802-detail/story.html How easily the sins of the first two thirds of the season are forgotten. Here are mine - and I'm being generous too: Kasper 6.5/10 He's not as good as he's made out...

    So who should go?

    We didn't do as well as we should have this season so we need to make changes. We should be as pro-active as possible and go out and sign the upgrades we need and let the chaff go. If we just wait to see who leaves it'll all end in tears with late or no signings. I'm going to give my opinions -...

    Pre Match Manchester City vs Leicester City

    Our last away match of the season. A chance to do the double over a big team. A chance to move into 8th position in the Prem. Pretty sure it'll be the same team as saturday: Kasper Simmo Benni Hoof ****s Messi Drinki Ndidi Allfullon Slippi Vardi Would prefer to see Slimani replace Okazaki...

    Pre Match West Bromwich Albion vs Leicester City

    After that disappointing performance against Arsenal away can City bounce back against West Brom - possibly a more difficult team to beat but they are safe sitting 7 points ahead of us but 14 behind the 7th placed team. Enough with the boring play for a 0-0 draw and hope that Vardy gets a goal...

    Pre Match Arsenal vs Leicester City

    Over a week before our next game and that's probably a good thing as the players need to get the CL out of their system mentally and come back with the aim of finishing as high as possible in the Prem. In some ways Arsenal is the perfect match. They are big enough for the players to focus on...

    Pre Match Crystal Palace vs Leicester City 15/04/17

    What an interesting match this is going to be. We still need points to secure our League status but we have possibly the biggest game in our history just 3 days later. So who are we going to play? I'd rather we didn't go in for half measures. It didn't work against Everton and I can't see it...

    Pre Match Atletico Madrid vs Leicester City Champions league QF first leg

    So what's the team then? Kasper Simpson Benny Huth Fuchs Mahrez Drinkwater Ndidi Albrighton Okazaki Vardy most likely Would prefer Slimani in Could be a 7-0 loss.

    Pre Match West Ham Vs Leicester

    Focus needs to be reset as our next Prem game is only days away. It's as important, in a different way, as the CL match last night. We're only 3 points above relegation but only a couple of wins from mid-table. A victory will suck West Ham back to a similar position to us (3 pts ahead but played...

    Pre Match Leicester City vs Sevilla Champion's league last 16

    I don't think there'll be any surprises in the line-up. Kasper Simpson Morgan Huth Fuchs Mahrez Ndidi Drinkwater Albrighton Okazaki Vardy I still think that Slimani should be in but I see no chance of that or any other changes whilst Shakey is in charge. Before CR was sacked I thought that...

    Pre Match Leicester vs Hull

    This is it. Can we keep the momentum of the last 1 and a half matches going? This is the real test of our champions. Same line-up as the Liverpool game I guess though personally I'd put Chilwell in for Fuchs, Amartey in for Morgan and Gray in for Mahrez.

    Pre Match Leicester vs Liverpool

    This could be a very big game for us. It may be on the back of 700 consecutive defeats but there must be a sense of optimism and hope in the team after fighting back to our best loss of the year. That shouldn't paper over the major problems we have though and changes must be made. Fuchs must...

    Pre Match Millwall vs Leicester Fa Cup

    I think our rejuventaion continues here and the old guard are moved further away from the first team. Probable starting 11 Zieler (but Kasper will be back) Amartey (but wish he was in central defence) Benny Wasilewski (but hopefully Wagué) Chilwell Albrighton Ndidi Mendy Gray Musa (possibly...

    Pre Match Southampton V Leicester

    Pre Match Leicester City vs West Ham United. New year's Eve

    Can we call the last game of 2016 a must win game? Probably not but a loss or draw will be another terrible result. Mahrez to stay on the bench. Gray and Chilwell to keep their starting positions.

    Pre Match Leicester vs Everton - Boxing day

    This could be the most important game of the season for us. We've taken 4 points from the last 3 games, we've re-found our spirit and we've got a home game to end the year going in the right direction. Lots of questions to be answered : who replaces Fuchs? Who replaces Huth? Who replaces Vardy...

    Pre Match Leicester City vs Manchester City

    It's a great match to have on the back of such a miserable display. The "first teamers" should come back in and show what they've got which the guys last night didn't have or they can show that the whole squad is the same. Even with a team who are trying this would be a difficult match without...

    Jeff - Schlupperman that is.

    I've heard that he's got an injury which'll keep him out for at least 4 weeks. Can anyone confirm this? After WestBromGate and him not getting called back into the squad, I wondered if this is real and how it came about.

    Is Walsh stealing our players or were we not really interested?

    I thought it was strange timing to let Walsh go to Everton during this transfer window but I presumed that we'd done all the background work on players we were interested in and that City and Everton would have come to some agreement about conflicting interest in players - i.e. we'd have first...
