Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – Man City vs Leicester City

In a battle for supremacy at the summit, Manchester City welcome Leicester City to the Etihad. The Foxes are in the midst of a six-match unbeaten streak that started with their goalless draw in the reverse fixture, while the Sky Blues haven’t tasted defeat in seven outings.

Only two teams mustered more big chances (eight) over the last four Gameweeks than Leicester, who racked up seven goals during that period. It’s on the defensive end that Claudio Ranieiri’s troops were the most impressive, though, conceding the second-fewest goals (one), sixth-fewest shots inside the box (25) and fewest big chances (two).

Despite ranking third for attempts (61) and joint-fourth for goals (seven) since Gameweek 21, the Sky Blues recorded just 14 shots on target, engendering the worst shot accuracy (23%) of any team. On the flip side, Manuel Pellegrini’s men conceded just two goals and registered three clean sheets. Moreover, only two teams allowed fewer shots inside the box (24), while they placed joint-second-bottom with regards to big chances conceded (three).

    Didn't captain Agüero, benched Mahrez, don't have Vardy. I would like to enjoy this match, but i think I'll be behind the couch.

    Congrats my dodgy Internet. You successfully failed to log in me captaining Kane, so now I'm stuck with (C) Naismith, great.

      Trust your ISP. That could be brilliant. 🙂

    As an Aguero owner, I'd like him to blank.

    1. Saxe-Gotha

      Amen

    Aguero effective ownership in the top 10k goes over 100%.

      Cheers TM excellent work....

    I'm so nervous...

  13. Captain Vantastic™

    Man's effective ownership more than 100%. 🙁

    1. Numb
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Mane?

    2. Captain Vantastic™
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Kane*

      1. Numb
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        I thought it would be

  14. Numb

    Green and red arrows wil depend mainly on two players this week - Kun and Kane

    1. Pedram
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      what if both blank ?

      1. Numb
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Casuals win again!

    2. CABAYE4
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Not sure about that.

      Effective ownership is 100-110% now for both. Unless you captain them, they don't really matter. And then it's just a normal captain choice.

      1. Pompel
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Askin a dumb question here; What's with this "effective ownership" concept ?

        1. CABAYE4
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          Captains effectively count as owning the player twice.

          So for example: Kane has 32% captaincy and 72% starting in the top 10k.

          So his effective ownership is about 104%.

          About 100% means that their points won't really effect your ranking if you have them.

            • 10 Years
            8 years, 2 months ago

            Thanks, Cabaye

      Leicester CS confirmed

  16. TheBusDriver

    8 years, 2 months ago

    Klopp won't be attend the match today at Anfield, due to a suspected appendicitis. #LFC

    Firmino and Moreno fail.

    1. Captain Vantastic™
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Panic time

    2. SweeSwee
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      This will just show how little impact he has on the team.

      They'll lose whether he's there or not

      1. goriuanx
        • 13 Years

        You're either trolling or trolling.

    3. Epic Fail

      Damn. Means Moreno won't get a clean sheet now like he normally does.

      1. TheBusDriver
        • 8 Years

        😀

    4. Zombie

      It's just appendicitis...such a crybaby he is - if he was working in my company, he would have to come to work even with dismembered legs!

      1. Your Mum's Athletic
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        what a silly comment, have you ever had it? if you get diagnosed with it late, your throwing up all over the place, dizziness. You think he can manage a team with it?

        1. Zombie
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          Chill out YMA..was a bit tongue-in-cheek regarding my employer rather than about Klopp 🙂

  17. Chucky
    • 10 Years

    Cmon you KUN(C) 👿

  18. Messiah Hazard
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Kun captain and Mahrez on bench. It's going to be scary following the first match.

    1. SweeSwee
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      No one would bench Aguero

      1. Messiah Hazard
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Mahrez is on bench not Kun

    2. Alittude
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      same

  19. Hibbo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Aguero haul please.

    And £50k.

    1. Numb
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      £50k?

  20. Stephen - Robot Daniels
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    An early Aguero goal would be pleasant

  21. Eden Azzzar
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Score predictions for this game??

    1. Eden Azzzar
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      I fancy an Morgan goal Aguero brace and a sneaky Vardy equaliser late on

    2. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      1-0 city...Aguero penalty

  22. S.Kuqi
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    None of my rivals captained Kun and all of them benched Mahrez.

    Can just enjoy football game for once 🙂

  23. Skogen89

    2 point to aguero please!

  24. Old Schoolᴼˢ “disa…
    • 12 Years

    1-1 please

    COYS

    1. TheBusDriver
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      0-1 please.

  25. Nanoelektronicar
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    I predict City win 3:2, Aguero brace.

    1. TheBusDriver
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Won't happen. When was the last time Leicester conceded more than 1 goal?

      1. goriuanx
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Your predictions are never good, to be honest.

        1. Ziro Becomes One

          This

  26. The Wise Owl

    8 years, 2 months ago

    Imagine a league where you can only make one signing per season. You can loan other players but you can only buy one player.

    1. Eden Azzzar
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Isn't it the same just keep a 12 month rolling loan get to try out many players

      1. The Wise Owl
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Maybe.

    2. CABAYE4
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Would basically just boil down to everyone on one year deals.

      No incentive to develop youth and plenty of mercenaries.

    1. Nanoelektronicar

      I think I'll be.

  30. Nanoelektronicar

    You behind couches, try to relax and enjoy the game. 🙂
