Fox92 Posted 5 March 2015 Posted 5 March 2015 I'd be over the moon if he could even develop into the new Lloyd Dyer. Well they both lack footballing brains.
Steve_Guppy_Left_Foot Posted 5 March 2015 Posted 5 March 2015 He's been struggling in recent weeks but he still won us a legitimate penalty due to his persistence (not his fault the ref chose to be blind) and all our attacking players look to be struggling at the minute. A few have leveled a lot of criticism at Riyad as well. Neither fully justified imo.
lgfualol Posted 5 March 2015 Posted 5 March 2015 I still think he is great, and could become really good. Playing in a side with 5 at the back and two slow centre mids isn't exactly allowing our attackers to have many chances, or just playing so defensively every week ( newcastle). Apart from Everton which he missed 500 chances. I think Konchesky has been particularly lucky to have Schlupp in front of him for large parts of the season.
davieG Posted 12 March 2015 Posted 12 March 2015 FPL Scout Extra: Schlupp can be managers' secret weapon Leicester defender's recent displays comparable to leading FPL defender Branislav Ivanovic Jeffrey Schlupp has become an increasingly potent attacking threat over recent Gameweeks Any Fantasy Premier League (FPL) manager worth their salt is always looking for a player who can give their team something extra or a little bit different. Set-piece specialists and penalty-takers are typical examples, but few players have the potential to afford an FPL manager the edge more than a defender being deployed in an attacking role. Schlupp's FPL statsPosition: DefenderValue: £4.5mSelected by: 0.6%Total points: 60Fixtures: HUL (H); TOT (A); WHU (H) Given that the Barclays Premier League's bottom club Leicester City have kept just four clean sheets all season, it might seem counter-intuitive for managers to even consider drafting a Foxes defender into their squad. But the case for Ghana's Jeffrey Schlupp is starting to gain momentum. Leicester manager Nigel Pearson has used Schlupp, a one-time deputy left-back, as an out-and-out winger this term. Classed as a defender in the FPL, Schlupp has been handed even greater licence to attack opponents as a result of Pearson’s recent conversion to a 5-4-1 formation. Over the last six gameweeks, Schlupp's attacking threat bears comparison to the leading points-scoring defender in the FPL, Chelsea's Branislav Ivanovic (141pts; £7.5m, 27.1%). Schlupp has had 15 touches in opponents' penalty areas and seven attempts on goal, all from inside the box. Ivanovic has 20 and eight respectively, with only five of his efforts from inside the opponents' penalty area. Furthermore, Schlupp has produced more successful passes in his opponents' half and created one more chance for team-mates than Ivanovic during that recent period. Key stats Schlupp Ivanovic Goals 0 2 Goal attempts 7 8 Goal attempts inside area 7 5 Goal attempts outside area 0 3 Shots on target 2 3 % successful passes in opponents' half 79.1% 78.7% Chances created 4 3 Touches in opp. area 15 20 Av. mins per key pass 100.5 159.7 Clean sheets 0 3 Significantly, over the season, Leicester have relied on their wide men for a consistent goal threat. Only fellow winger, Riyad Mahrez, has had more efforts on goal for the Foxes than Schlupp (49 to 32). Unsurprisingly for a Leicester defender, Schlupp comes cheap. At £4.5m he is £3.0m cheaper than Ivanovic. When Leicester's attractive run-in is factored in, Schlupp's stock rises further still. The Foxes have 11 fixtures to play, including two matches during Gameweek 34. Chelsea aside, every other BPL team have 10 matches remaining. Leicester will also enjoy home advantage in seven of those 11 fixtures and face only one of the current top five sides in the Barclays Premier League. Favourable run-in - Leicester's remaining fixtures Date Team Venue 14 Mar Hull Home 21 Mar Spurs Away 4 Apr West Ham Home 11 Apr West Brom Away 18 Apr Swansea Home 25 Apr Burnley Away 29 Apr Chelsea Home 2 May Newcastle Home 9 May Southampton Home 16 May Sunderland Away 24 May QPR Home With home encounters against Hull City, Newcastle United, Swansea City and Queens Park Rangers, Pearson's side have a fighting chance of retaining their BPL status. Given that defenders score six points per goal, Schlupp's increased presence in opposition penalty areas makes him a low financial risk with potential for strong rewards: an ideal weapon for the FPL manager looking for an edge as the season draws to a close.
DANGEROUS TIGER Posted 12 March 2015 Posted 12 March 2015 Manchester United don't take players on loan very often and without good reason......better judges than us lot on here....great player, Schlupp, Manhrez, Knockaert, Albrighton , Lawrence ....never had a better set of flair/wide players...... Well, you weren't around in the sixties and seventies, which boasted some of the best wingers in our history. Schlupp doesn't come near them for quality. I'm not saying he's a bad player though.
Lambert09 Posted 13 March 2015 Posted 13 March 2015 I think Jeff has been great this season, but he is so inconsistent. For just one match, please Nige give Albrighton a start with Mahrez
Tommy G Posted 13 March 2015 Posted 13 March 2015 Has pace but thats it, its when he needs to make a decision it goes to pieces. A talent but not got everything to make it higher than the champ.
Fox Ulike Posted 13 March 2015 Posted 13 March 2015 Has pace but thats it, its when he needs to make a decision it goes to pieces. A talent but not got everything to make it higher than the champ. Schlupp uses his pace to fire home the equaliser against Liverpool then?
cjslcfc Posted 13 March 2015 Posted 13 March 2015 Schlupp uses his pace to fire home the equaliser against Liverpool then? That's not a picture of his goal But I agree, he does occasionally do something with quality. Only when he doesn't think about it too much though.
AyewJoking Posted 13 March 2015 Posted 13 March 2015 Why not just keep playing him where he has been our most effective player this year? not Pearsons style.
JIMMYWILLIS Posted 13 March 2015 Posted 13 March 2015 Heard/read somewhere a statement that Suns him up perfectly. Great athlete but terrible footballer
JIMMYWILLIS Posted 14 March 2015 Posted 14 March 2015 Watching him today. He clearly needs to be guided through the entire game. Give him any time at all to consider his options and he looks like a startled deer.
Number 6 Posted 14 March 2015 Posted 14 March 2015 Don't get the stick he's getting. One of the few who has stepped up for me. Lacks a brain at times and still has a poor shot on him for me but he's settled in the the left wing role well. Thought he did well today too, defensively solid and a threat going forward. Goals and assists from him this season. One of the few who can say they've had a decent season.

Number 6 Posted 14 March 2015 Posted 14 March 2015 His like a golden nugget in a big pile of turd Pretty much Yeh. He's got loads of improving to do but if others had raised their games as he has, we might not be heading straight back down.
Guest Col city fan Posted 14 March 2015 Posted 14 March 2015 Jeff was very good today. He should have played LB all season IMO. His pace and strength really showed.
Soar Fox Posted 14 March 2015 Posted 14 March 2015 Jeff was very good today. He should have played LB all season IMO. His pace and strength really showed. Was impressed with him myself Col. If Pearson is going to persist with 5 at the back him & De Laet should remain at full back.
Guest Col city fan Posted 14 March 2015 Posted 14 March 2015 Was impressed with him myself Col. If Pearson is going to persist with 5 at the back him & De Laet should remain at full back. Dead right.
MC Prussian Posted 14 March 2015 Posted 14 March 2015 Today, he was on the pitch. That's about it. His impact was so inexistent, you could argue it was approaching a negative worth. No eye for his teammate, slowing the flow of the game down, giving the ball away with his poor passes. Disappointing.
Hirsty The Blue 94 Posted 14 March 2015 Posted 14 March 2015 Has all the ability but has no positional sense in any position he plays. Is good at football but not a good footballer. Just doesn't make the right runs, right decisions or have the positional sense in any position, which is a waste of his obvious ability.
ImBlue Posted 14 March 2015 Posted 14 March 2015 Developed so much defensively, but still combusts in the area and just has no end product. Will get less space when/if we dominate games next season in the championship and will look a worse player again.
MooseBreath Posted 14 March 2015 Posted 14 March 2015 First half he was diabolical. Gave the ball away in good positions several times in just completely idiotic ways. Terrible body language as well like he can't really be bothered. 2nd half he looked less of a liability but still totally ineffective going forward. If someone offered £400k in the summer I'd snap their hands off.
