Rickie Lambert: Past News Updates ( ▲ View most recent update )
January 5, 2015
RotoWire Fantasy Analysis
Lambert has made 16 Premier League appearances this season but only has 12 shots during his time on the pitch.
Lambert has one goal to his name this season but has mostly been used as a substitute off the bench this season and hardly has enough opportunities to become a factor in terms of fantasy. An injury to his fellow forwards or a change in heart from manager Brendan Rodgers could easily give Lambert's value a boost, although that's probably wishful thinking.

Lambert scored in the eighth minute of Wednesday’s 2-2 draw against Ludogorets Razgrad in the Champions League.
Lambert capitalised on a defensive mistake from the home side to head the ball into the back of the net. It was Lambert’s second goal in two games after he notched on Sunday against Crystal Palace in the Premier League.

Lambert said that he has to improve his fitness after a disappointing display against Middlesbrough, reports Sky Sports.
Lambert started Liverpool's Capital One Cup match as captain, but didn't have the best performance. He was substituted before the match went to penalties to decide a winner. Lambert said fitness is difficult to maintain when not playing regularly.

RotoWire Fantasy Analysis
Lambert was brought on in the 76th minute for Philippe Coutinho in Liverpool's 2-1 victory over Southampton on Sunday.
Lambert will likely find himself coming off the bench in most situations, with manager Brendan Rodgers preferring to juggle his crowded midfield and play Daniel Sturridge alone up front. With limited playing time, it's tough to justify spending anything but a bench spot on the veteran striker in most fantasy formats.

RotoWire Fantasy Analysis
Lambert is available off the bench for Liverpool's Premier League opener against Southampton on Sunday.
Lambert scored 117 goals for Southampton, but doesn't get the start against his old club. Nevertheless, he still figures to see plenty of playing time this season for a dynamic attack.

RotoWire Fantasy Analysis
Lambert officially signed with Liverpool on Monday, the club's official web site reports.
Lambert moves over from Southampton, where he scored 117 goals in 235 appearances. It's difficult to see him scoring at such a high rate at Anfield, as Luis Suarez, Daniel Sturridge and Raheem Sterling will all presumably be above him on the depth chart.

Liverpool and Southampton agreed to a £4 million transfer fee for Lambert, who is expected to undergo a medical exam on Saturday, reports Sky Sports.
Reports also suggest that personal terms between Liverpool and the player have been agreed upon. Lambert is part of England's World Cup squad and scored 14 times for Southampton last season.
