Kasper Schmeichel - Excellent in win Schmeichel made four saves and two clearances during Tuesday's 1-0 win over Liverpool.

Impact Schmeichel saved a Mohamed Salah penalty and did well to earn his third clean sheet of the season. Schmeichel was simply excellent and will look to build on this excellent form against Norwich next time out.

Wilfred Ndidi - Busy defensively Ndidi made five tackles and interceptions during Tuesday's 1-0 win over Liverpool.

Impact Ndidi is a defensive midfielder with no goal contributions yet in 21/22 in the Premier League. The defensive midfielder will look to get on the scoresheet against Norwich City next time out. Ndidi remains a fringe fantasy option simply due to his role.

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall - Assists in win Dewsbury-Hall provided one assist on one chance created during Tuesday's 1-0 win over Liverpool.

Impact Dewsbury-Hall created a rare chance during Tuesday's win, and it was converted. The defensive midfielder isn't really a fantasy option by any means and isn't worth rostering in any fantasy format. Next up is a Saturday clash with Norwich City.

Ademola Lookman - Scores off bench Lookman scored once on one shot during Tuesday's 1-0 win over Liverpool.

Impact Lookman scored a single goal, his second in his last two appearances as he made the most of the only chance Leicester had all game. Lookman is a fringe fantasy option even when starting, though he has a favorable clash with Norwich on Saturday.

Jamie Vardy - Picks up ankle issue Vardy sustained an ankle injury against Liverpool on Tuesday despite logging the full 90 minutes and registered two shots (zero on target) and one chance created. Manager Brendan R...

Impact Vardy was back in the starting XI for the first time in the club's previous three contests after going unused in two straight. If Vardy is unable to start versus Norwich City on Saturday, Kelechi Iheanacho figures to serve as the focal point of Foxes' attack.

James Maddison - Exits with undisclosed injury Maddison was forced off in the 68th minute against Liverpool on Tuesday. After the match, manager Brendan Rodgers told reporters, "James [Maddison], I don't think it was anything s...

Impact It was the first time since Oct. 16 against Manchester United that Maddison failed to register a cross, as he failed to make a significant impact being taken off. Still, if the midfielder is deemed fit to play in Saturday's matchup with Norwich City, he figures to be a top-end fantasy target given his role on freekicks.

Vontae Daley-Campbell - Goes unused in return Sunday Daley-Campbell (illness) was an unused sub in Sunday's 6-3 loss to Manchester City.

Impact Daley-Campbell is back from his issue and his return is a massive boost for the depth of the injury-riddled Foxes though the youngster is still to feature in the league this season and his fantasy upside will remain limited despite a ton of absent players.

DECEMBER 27, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Youri Tielemans - Quiet in Boxing day defeat Tielemans had one chance created, one tackle won and 25 passes completed in Sunday's 6-3 loss to Manchester City.

Impact Tielemans was very quiet here after coming off a brace in his previous start. The Foxes had a couple of weeks break due to another COVID-19 surge and the midfielder may have just been a bit rusty here. He's mounting another very solid season overall though a date with Liverpool on Tuesday won't be an appealing match up.

DECEMBER 27, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Ademola Lookman - Scores in loss to City Lookman scored on his lone shot and added two chances created, five dribbles, three tackles (one won) and two interceptions in Sunday's 6-3 loss to Manchester City.

Impact Lookman turned in an impressive display here l;asting the full 90 in his first start after recently recovering from COVID-19. A number of injuries in the lineup will likely allow him to keep his regular role for the moment and he's been clinical of late with two goals and one assist over his past five outings.

DECEMBER 27, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall - Sends three crosses versus City Dewsbury-Hall had one shot (off target), three crosses (one accurate), two dribbles, two tackles (both won) and 32 passes completed in Sunday's 6-3 loss to Manchester City.

Impact Dewsbury-Hall turned in a very solid all around performance in the middle of the park while getting the nod for his fourth straight start. The youngster has been very impressive over that span and has flashed a ton of fantasy upside too after scoring once on five shots and adding five chances created and 12 crosses. He's also had some of the set pieces and will likely continue starting regularly for the time being given the injury struggles the Foxes are going through at the moment.
